Chapter 476 Qin Ming's True Nature
The ten fragments of the Haotian Hammer were controlled by Ye Lingling's released mental domain and stopped around her and Dugu Yan, floating in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, she waved her jade hand without hesitation, and the spiritual energy forming the field fluctuated violently. Ten fragments of the Clear Sky Hammer were suddenly ejected, flying backwards with lightning speed along the original trajectory without any deviation.
They came from somewhere and will return there; the fragments' target is Tang San.
Tang San was terrified, his face instantly changing color. He hurriedly used Ghost Shadow Tracking to dodge, while his mind raced, interrupting his soul power and deactivating the Clear Sky Hammer's summoning state, attempting to let the Clear Sky Hammer fragments dissipate as soul light on their own.
However, his reaction was a beat too slow, and his momentary daze caused him to miss the best opportunity to dispel the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.
With her mental domain and mental object manipulation abilities combined, Ye Lingling's control over the fragments far surpassed Tang San's. In less than the blink of an eye, ten fragments of the Clear Sky Hammer had already streaked across the sky and arrived around Tang San's body.
At this moment, Tang San's Ghost Shadow Illusion had only taken half a step before he had to stop abruptly. He frantically activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, concentrating the little remaining internal energy in his body into his hands, causing them to turn into a pure white jade color.
Tang San unleashed the Xuan Yu Hand again, without hesitation. He waved his hands, creating a series of afterimages, and flicked his fingers repeatedly at the ten Haotian Hammer fragments that were shooting back, intending to send them all flying.
To Tang San's surprise, the force carried by the Clear Sky Hammer fragments seemed to be far greater than he had imagined.
When their fingers touched the objects, instead of knocking them away, countless cracks appeared on their fair and smooth hands.
Xuan Yu Shou made a mistake.
Tang San was even more horrified. Without thinking, he quickly withdrew and retreated.
Seeing this, how could Ye Lingling give him a chance to react? She unleashed her powerful spiritual energy, which was at the Soul King level, and remotely controlled the ten fragments of the Clear Sky Hammer to accelerate rapidly, attacking Tang San with an even more unpredictable and bizarre trajectory.
This time, Tang San had no way to avoid it and had no better way to deal with it, so he could not escape being hit.
Puff puff--
The sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh rang out one after another, and crimson blood blossoms bloomed on Tang San's body almost simultaneously.
As expected, all ten fragments of the Haotian Hammer struck him without missing their mark.
Two of the fragments struck Tang San's knees, shattering his kneecaps and rendering him unable to stand.
Two more fragments pierced his wrists, rendering him unable to use hidden weapons again.
The other six fragments burrowed into Tang San's chest, abdomen, waist, and kidneys, causing new injuries to his old ones and inflicting immeasurable damage on his internal organs.
As blood blossoms bloomed, Tang San, who was making a ghostly trail, was suddenly thrown face-first onto the floor by inertia.
All of this happened in an instant.
Before anyone watching could react, Tang San, who had just stood up and made a bold statement, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The room erupted in uproar.
In most people's eyes, Tang San seemed to have thrown something at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, which was then bounced back by Ye Lingling with some kind of magical ability. Immediately afterwards, blood splattered on Tang San's body, and he collapsed to the ground.
At the entrance, Yu Xiaogang was taken aback for a moment, then shouted:
"The other woman!"
His tone was filled with anxiety and a hint of confusion.
Yu Xiaogang didn't understand why Tang San collapsed. He only saw Tang San raise his hand and throw something out, and then Ye Lingling on the other side also raised her hand and waved it. Then Tang San suddenly collapsed.
He knew about Tang San's abilities, but what the hell was Ye Lingling using? Wasn't she a support-type Soul Master? Why did she have offensive skills?
At this moment, the master was filled with questions.
Well, you can't really blame him. After all, he's just a level 29 Soul Master, a complete waste. He can't accurately predict or understand battles above the Soul Venerable level.
Moreover, he hadn't even figured out the things about martial spirits yet, let alone the application of mental power.
…………
On the main battle stage.
Tang San struggled to turn himself over, lying on the ground panting heavily, coughing up blood, his eyes lifeless, blank, and dejected as he stared at the ceiling tens of meters high, as if his spine had been broken and he had lost all his energy and spirit.
At this moment, Tang San was severely injured.
His nose was clearly broken from the impact of his face hitting the floor, and blood mixed with snot kept oozing out.
With his hands and legs crippled, his internal organs ruptured, and multiple wounds on his chest, abdomen, and waist, he was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.
After the ten fragments of the Clear Sky Hammer shattered the knees, pierced the wrists, and shot into the chest, abdomen, and waist, the summoning state of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was finally released, and the fragments turned into soul light and disappeared.
However, the deadly poison from Dugu Yan that clung to the fragments remained, continuing to attack Tang San's body from the inside out through the wound.
Tang San's internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong was exhausted, and his soul power was almost depleted. Even though he was a master of making and using poison, and had a high resistance to poison, he could not stop the erosion of the poison.
As the poison spread, Tang San soon followed in the footsteps of the other Shrek Six Monsters.
In almost an instant, his body became numb and lost sensation, and his skin visibly turned purple, black, and swollen.
Seeing this, Flander on the sidelines stopped caring and instantly activated his Cat-Owl Martial Soul, sprouting a pair of huge, slightly golden eagle wings on his back. He flapped his wings and flew onto the Soul Arena.
"We're giving up, we're not playing anymore!"
Upon arriving at the Soul Arena, Flander first conceded defeat on behalf of the Shrek Six Monsters to the host, DouDou, who was flying in the air, to avoid the Soto Great Soul Arena misunderstanding that he had broken the rules of the Soul Arena and disrupted the order, thus expelling him.
Hearing Flander's words, DouDou, who was flying in the air, regained his senses and finally announced the words that Tang San had interrupted him about in their entirety:
"Six-man team, fighting spirit! Royal Fighting Team wins!"
Then, Flander rushed to Tang San's side, bent down to check his injuries, and after a moment, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang couldn't wait to come to the Soul Battle Platform. He practically pounced on Tang San and shoved Flander aside.
Seeing the pitiful state of his beloved protégé, his stiff face instantly turned ashen.
Zhao Wuji also arrived at the Soul Battle Platform, carrying Xiao Wu in one hand and Ning Rongrong in the other, with Oscar and Ma Hongjun tucked under his arms on either side.
Yu Tianheng followed closely behind, carrying Dai Mubai, who was about the same size as him, on his back, with the healing-type Soul King from the Soto Great Soul Arena beside him.
Qin Ming, along with the rest of the Royal Fighting Team, emerged from the other entrance.
Qin Ming's expression was rather unpleasant, his eyes fixed on Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling on the stage, clearly quite dissatisfied with the two of them.
Especially Dugu Yan.
The members of the Royal Fighting Team had smiles on their faces, but they didn't cheer. After all, they knew their captain, Dugu Yan's, strength all too well. With the Shrek Six Monsters' strength, they simply couldn't defeat her.
Ultimately, victory will belong to Team Royal Fighting.
However, what shocked them was Ye Lingling, the most low-key member of the team. They never expected that as a support-type Soul Master, she would also have the ability to defend and counterattack.
I've never seen her use this skill before.
So, as soon as they arrived at the Soul Battle Stage, the four of them immediately surrounded Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, curiously asking them what skill Ye Lingling had just used.
However, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling just smiled and remained silent, without saying anything more.
…………
Although the battle has ended, there are still some things to deal with afterwards.
For example, the injuries of the Shrek Six Monsters and the deadly poison they were afflicted with urgently need treatment and removal.
"Quickly, get the mistress treated."
Seeing that the healing-type Soul Master from the Great Soul Arena had also come to the Soul Arena, Yu Xiaogang, with a gloomy face, quickly pulled him in front of Tang San and urged him to quickly cast a healing spell.
Pulled and tugged by Yu Xiaogang, and urged on by his unpleasant hoarse voice, the old Soul King was annoyed and somewhat displeased. However, he still dutifully gathered his soul power, activated his martial soul, and chanted a soul incantation, throwing a healing soul light at Tang San.
A moment later, the old Soul King with a healing ability said expressionlessly:
"Alright, the physical injuries have healed, but I can't do anything about the lost essence and blood. You can only recover slowly through rest and recuperation."
"Also, the poison in his body is the same as that of the five people just now, and it cannot be removed. It would be best to have the owner of the poison extracted as soon as possible, otherwise even the gods cannot save him."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left without even glancing at the Shrek Academy members again. When he passed by Yu Xiaogang, he even deliberately snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
This made Yu Xiaogang's face darken even more.
After hearing what the on-site healing-type Soul Master said, Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Zhao Wuji fell silent for a moment.
Just then, Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, walked over.
Qin Ming glanced at the Shrek Six Monsters lying side by side on the ground with a complicated expression, then knelt down on one knee in front of Flander and Zhao Wuji with a thud:
"Dean Flander, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, your disciple Qin Ming pays his respects."
Flander adjusted his stiff, square-framed crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, glanced at him sideways, and gave a cold, expressionless snort:
"I thought you'd forgotten about us long ago."
"You're the one leading the Royal Fighting Team, aren't you? You're really ruthless."
"Look at your good team members, look what they've done to our Shrek Academy's little monsters."
The injuries sustained by Tang San and the others caused Flander to harbor some resentment towards Qin Ming, so his tone was full of sarcasm.
Qin Ming looked embarrassed, but had no way to refute it, so he could only bury his head deep in his hands.
"I'm sorry, Dean. I failed to manage the team members properly. I will give you, the Vice Dean, and the junior students an explanation."
At this moment, Zhao Wuji patted Flander on the shoulder and said something good about Qin Ming:
"Alright, Flander, it's not Qin Ming's fault. No one gets injured on the Soul Arena, so don't blame him."
He has always cherished talent, and he has always been very tolerant of talented people like Qin Ming. Moreover, Qin Ming is the most outstanding graduate in Shrek Academy's twenty-year history, and he is also a student he taught. Naturally, he should protect him.
After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, he stepped forward and helped Qin Ming up from the ground. He looked Qin Ming up and down a few times, and casually pinched the muscles on Qin Ming's arm. As if he had noticed something, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"You're getting more and more impressive, kid. You've actually reached the Soul Emperor realm. Not bad, not bad. You're worthy of being my student."
"Looks like it won't be long before you catch up with us old folks, hahaha—"
Faced with Zhao Wuji's praise, Qin Ming felt a little proud, but still respectfully bowed his head and said:
"I have to thank the two deans for their guidance. If it weren't for Shrek Academy's nurturing, Qin Ming wouldn't have grown to where he is today."
"Therefore, no matter when or where, the two deans will always be Qin Ming's teachers, and Qin Ming will always be a member of Shrek Academy."
Seeing Qin Mingchao and the two leaders of Shrek Academy kneeling respectfully to admit their mistakes, the members of the Royal Fighting Team not far away couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although they all knew that Qin Ming had a special relationship with Shrek Academy, they had not expected that Qin Ming would behave so humbly in front of the Shrek people.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's beautiful eyebrows furrowed simultaneously. They exchanged a glance and both saw the realization in each other's eyes.
Only then did the two finally understand why His Highness had warned them to be careful of Qin Ming.
To others, Qin Ming's behavior was undoubtedly a sign of respect for his teacher, and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were familiar with Qin Ming's personality, saw another layer of meaning in it.
—Qin Ming has the potential to be an ingrate.
At this moment, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had completely seen through Qin Ming's true nature and no longer had any respect for him.
Qin Ming is quite talented; he reached the level 60 Soul Emperor realm at just over 30 years old, which is truly admirable.
In the past, they might have looked up to Qin Ming as an object of admiration and pursuit, but after meeting Saint Ye Qifeng, they realized what a true genius is, what a prodigy is, and what a god-like existence is.
Saint Ye Qifeng is the one they should be pursuing; as for Qin Ming...
Haha, he doesn't deserve it!
…………
"Tianheng, weren't you supposed to be cultivating in the lounge? How come you're with the teachers and students of Shrek Academy?"
After exchanging pleasantries with Flander and Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng, who had been silent all along, and asked with a slightly surprised tone.
"Teacher Qin, it's like this."
Yu Tianheng explained the reasons and process to Qin Ming, then pointed to Yu Xiaogang beside him:
"Teacher Qin, let me introduce you. This is my uncle, Yu Xiaogang, the most famous person in the Soul Master world, known as the 'Master'."
Qin Ming's eyes lit up. Was this the invincible master of martial soul theory that Dean Flander had mentioned?
He immediately bowed respectfully to Yu Xiaogang as a disciple:
"Hello, Master!"
Yu Xiaogang was currently worried about Tang San's injuries, and regardless of what kind of greeting Tang San was giving, he simply nodded with a sour face:
"Um."
Seeing that Flanders and the others seemed to want to continue chatting, Yu Xiaogang's face immediately darkened:
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's quickly think of a way to detoxify Xiao San and the others."
