Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang was also filled with excitement. He patted Tang San on the shoulder and said in a solemn tone:
"Xiao San, I know you're eager for revenge, but you're only a level 45 Soul Master right now, while Xue Tianxing was already a Soul King two years ago, and his soul power has probably already broken through level 60 and made him a Soul Emperor."
If you encounter him, never confront him directly; you must protect yourself.
Yu Xiaogang paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and continued:
"You must always remember that you still have a second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!"
The current setback is only temporary. Once you start cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer and absorb suitable soul rings, no one on the entire continent will be your match!
As for how to cultivate a second martial soul without causing a backlash, I already have some ideas. After this Soul Master Competition ends, I can help you solve this problem completely.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's anger gradually subsided, and a determined light rekindled in his eyes. He nodded firmly.
"Teacher, I understand. I will be patient. Once I have mastered the Clear Sky Hammer, I will make Xue Tianxing pay for his crimes in blood!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, but no one knew that he had already been planning another scheme in his heart—he intended to go to Wuhun City in the near future to find Bibi Dong.
On the one hand, he did want to ask Bibi Dong for advice on how to cultivate twin martial souls without causing backlash, since Bibi Dong also had twin martial souls and must have unique experience;
On the other hand, he also had his own selfish motives—he wanted to use his past relationship with Bibi Dong to see if he could get Bibi Dong to take action against Xue Tianxing.
In Yu Xiaogang's view, Bibi Dong is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, wielding immense power. If she wanted to, she could easily find a reason to put Xue Tianxing and the Barak Kingdom in trouble.
At that time, not only will he be able to avenge himself, but he will also be able to help Tang San clear obstacles, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he secretly swore an oath in his heart:
Xue Tianxing, the humiliation you brought me, I will repay you tenfold!
With Bibi Dong's help now, let's see how arrogant you can be!
Flander and Liu Erlong stood aside, unaware of Yu Xiaogang's ulterior motives, simply assuming he was planning for Tang San's future.
Flanders said with a smile:
"Alright, now's not the time to think about that. Let's go back and celebrate this victory properly, and then prepare for the next match."
Everyone nodded and escorted Tang San away from the Soul Arena.
The Continental Soul Master Tournament was progressing steadily, and soon it was Barak Academy's turn for the competition.
When the announcer at the Soul Arena announced "Barak Academy vs. Beast Academy," a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted from the audience. After the groundwork laid by the previous matches, Barak Academy, with Xue Tianxing's Soul Emperor strength and the team's luxurious configuration, had already become one of the most popular teams to win the championship in this competition. Many spectators had come specifically to witness the Barak team's prowess.
Xue Tianxing, accompanied by Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, Cao Qing, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Shui Yue'er, slowly walked onto the arena.
As soon as they appeared, they emitted faint fluctuations of soul power. Although they did not release their martial souls, they had already formed a powerful aura, making the atmosphere of the entire arena heavy.
They stood on one side of the arena, their gazes calmly fixed on the entrance opposite, awaiting the arrival of the Beast Academy team. Soon, the seven members of the Beast Academy team entered the arena.
This team has been a mediocre force in this tournament. Although they have won some matches, they have never faced any top teams.
They were dressed in matching brown uniforms, their faces showing a mix of nervousness and anticipation—after all, playing against the favorite to win the championship, Barak Academy, was a rare opportunity for them to gain experience.
With the referee's command of "Activate Martial Souls," both teams simultaneously released their Martial Souls.
At the Beast Academy, seven spirit rings rose one after another:
The four Soul Masters all had Soul Ring configurations of yellow, yellow, purple, and purple. Among them, the captain was a level 45 Soul Master with the "Golden Giant Ape" Martial Soul. His Soul Rings were yellow, yellow, purple, and purple. The golden ape Martial Soul covered his entire body, and his arm muscles bulged, exuding a remarkable aura of power.
The other three Soul Masters are the standard configuration of yellow, yellow, and purple, and their Martial Souls are mostly beasts such as wolves and leopards, leaning towards melee attacks.
In a regular competition, such a lineup might have an advantage, but when they saw the Soul Ring configuration of Barak Academy, their expectations were instantly replaced by shock, and even the fluctuations of their Soul Power became disordered.
Shui Bing'er's "Ice Phoenix" martial soul unfolded, with pale blue wings flapping behind her. Five soul rings rose from her feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black. The dazzling combination of soul rings immediately plunged the arena into a brief silence.
Dugu Yan released her "Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor" martial soul, with purple mist surrounding her. She also had five soul rings, just like Shui Bing'er.
Cao Qing's "Black Tortoise Shield" martial spirit covered his entire body, and the heavy black iron armor gleamed with a metallic luster. His five spirit rings demonstrated his strength as a defensive-type spirit king.
What made the members of the Beast Academy even more devastated was that the remaining three members of Barak Academy—Oscar's "Sausage" Martial Soul, Ning Rongrong's "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda" Martial Soul, and Shui Yue'er's Martial Soul—were all Soul Master level!
Even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the two support Soul Masters, are Soul Grandmasters, plus three Soul Kings. With such a team configuration, almost no one in the entire competition can match them except for the Spirit Hall team.
Meanwhile, Xue Tianxing, the captain of Barak Academy, stood still the whole time, with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a calm expression. He not only did not release his martial soul, but he also did not deliberately reveal even a trace of soul power.
In his view, the strength of the Beast Academy was not even on the same level as the Barak team. Taking action against them would be "bullying" them. Shui Bing'er and her six teammates alone would be enough to easily win the game.
The captain of the Beast Academy looked at the scene before him, his throat bobbed involuntarily, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Before the match, he only knew that Barak Academy was strong, but he did not expect it to be this strong—three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. With such a lineup, let alone defeating the opponent, even breaking through the opponent's defenses would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
His teammates panicked even more, their eyes darting around, their hands holding their martial spirits trembling slightly, clearly having lost their confidence in the fight.
The audience was already in an uproar.
Exclamations and whispers rose and fell; everyone was awestruck by the luxurious facilities of Barak Academy.
