There were nine copies in total. Aside from the five that primarily cultivated the Blue Silver Emperor, the remaining four all used the Clear Sky Hammer.
After all, these were all strong-attack Martial Souls, and any one of them was more powerful than the previous five. However, Tang San only glanced at them briefly before losing interest.
Not everything Yu Xiao Gang taught was wrong.
For example, the advice to wait until after breaking through to Title Douluo before obtaining Soul Rings for his second Martial Soul. This would not only allow him to attach only top-grade skills from Soul Rings of 50,000 years or more but also accelerate the progress of the most difficult cultivation realm, above the Title Douluo level. This advice made a lot of sense.
The Blue Silver Emperor was already useless, and he had no intention of wasting the Clear Sky Hammer's potential.
He wasn't going to be a fool.
After pondering for a moment, Tang San turned his gaze back to the number one copy.
He felt that his life-based auxiliary attributes probably wouldn't make him very strong in combat, but perhaps he could still pass.
If he cleared it instantly on his first try, the rewards should be very generous, according to the rules.
Thinking of those amazing exchange materials, Tang San's mind stirred slightly. His mind's hand clicked on the challenge button below the blue-robed youth.
The next moment, he found himself in an octagonal arena. Its design was very similar to the final trial of the Flying Immortal Trial, but it was larger.
He moved around a little. All his senses were exactly the same as in reality.
Whether it was controlling his body, the feedback from interacting with the outside world, or the performance of his Martial Soul abilities, everything felt incredibly smooth.
Across from him, a copy of himself had also appeared, standing proudly at the other end of the arena.
His light purple eyes emitted faint, eerie light, giving off an incredibly intimidating feeling.
In the palm of his right hand, seven or eight noble Blue Silver Emperor plants with golden patterns were constantly circling in the air like cobras. Even though they exuded a gentle aura, they were chilling.
Adding to that was the upright, tight-fitting blue outfit, making the three-dimensional image even more handsome and imposing than in the previous picture.
Seeing this, Tang San's heart skipped a beat. The strength of this replica might not be as weak as he had imagined.
At this moment, a serious voice sounded in the air,
"Attention, Trial Takers, the battle will officially begin in five seconds. Five, Four…"
"Begin."
The instant the last two words fell, the replica had already moved.
It was seamless, with almost no gap in between.
Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass shot through the air, covering the left and right sides of the stage and the sky above.
The Martial Soul primarily develops life attributes, but that doesn't mean abilities related to plants can't be used.
On the contrary, the powerful recovery effects inherent in the life system can unleash endless Blue Silver Grass with just a bit of soul power, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Just this one move caused Tang San's expression to change drastically, his small eyes filled with great confusion.
The diameter of the arena was over two hundred meters; could the opponent's Martial Soul really extend that far?
Also, could he effectively command his Martial Soul and react correctly at such a distance? If he was dodged, wouldn't it be a waste of soul power, a pointless effort? If it were him, even if he were to adopt a similar tactic, he would first come to the center of the arena.
Tang San planted his legs into a horse stance, his right hand holding his Martial Soul in front of him, shoulders slightly lowered, ready to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to perform a dance about basketball and chickens at any moment.
But the blue-robed youth didn't seem to care, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted as he uttered a few words that utterly devastated Tang San.
"You have already chosen the path of death!"
As soon as the words fell, a brilliant light flashed from his third purple Soul Ring.
The ability to control life had already been activated.
At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass flying in the air rapidly enveloped the three opponents from the left, right, and above.
But before they could use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge these piercing attacks,
When the distance was still four or five meters, the tips of all the vines suddenly exploded.
One became three, three became nine, nine became twenty-seven,
Each end of the Blue Silver Grass grew a tight net, and the different nets were interwoven with each other, immediately covering him completely.
The change was too sudden, and when the three opponents reacted, all escape routes had been blocked.
Under the effect of the ability to infinitely stimulate the life attribute, there was almost Blue Silver Grass everywhere in the surrounding space.
Don't panic, at such a long distance, his control will definitely not be timely.
Tang San thought to himself, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his left hand, intending to break a hole and escape.
Then, there was nothing left to do.
Before the Clear Sky Hammer could even be used, a Blue Silver Grass suddenly snaked around his ankle from behind.
The instant the vine made contact, the soul power and life energy within him began to drain rapidly.
In just a moment, he felt as if he had been hollowed out, collapsing weakly onto the ground and being engulfed by countless Blue Silver Grass.
Then, in a matter of seconds, his body became incredibly gaunt. His eyes sunk into his head, and his skin clung to his bones, transforming from a muscle-bound brute into a frail figure.
Tang San had never felt so weak. His soul power was completely depleted, and he couldn't muster even a shred of strength from his muscles.
It was like a raging inferno that suddenly became a flickering candle, ready to be extinguished at any moment. The huge disparity left him shocked and terrified.
Half a second later,
In the dormitory bed, Bing Qing Yujie reopened her eyes.
As if she had been frightened by something extremely terrifying, her whole body shuddered violently, followed by intense trembling.
Her eyes became filled with suspicion and fear, and cold sweat poured down her back.
That's terrifying. The feeling of having your life energy drained was truly terrifying.
Even my internal organs were withering, and the strength of my bones was rapidly weakening. One second a Soul Elder, the next a Soul Master, and the next, a pile of bones in a tomb.
How the hell am I supposed to play this game?
After a full half hour, Tang San gradually calmed down.
Looking back at the previous battle, he secretly became excited:
"Is this the ability of the Creation branch, praised as one of the Ten Strongest of All Worlds? It's actually so terrifying. The number one copy only has four Soul Rings now. If it cultivates to Title Douluo, possessing a Martial Soul True Body and nine Soul Rings, what kind of power would that be?"
But in the next instant, that excitement quietly transformed into dejection and anger.
Dejection, because with an opponent of such strength, how could he possibly pass the assessment within a year?
And anger, because his life attribute seemed to be almost ruined by Yu Xiao Gang.
He once again opened the copy's introduction, looking at certain descriptions:
"All Heavens cultivators, if they want to become supreme, the Ten Strongest is the necessary entry ticket."
"As a major branch ability of the Creation Great Dao, its potential and prospects are almost immeasurable."
"Even in Flying Immortal City, which includes geniuses from all worlds, his aptitude is enough to rank in the top one percent."
Tang San couldn't help but curse Yu Xiao Gang countless times in his heart, vowing and swearing, practically wishing he could be cut into a thousand pieces.
But in his eyes, there wasn't a trace of resentment, only tears of regret that made his intestines turn green.
How could he have believed such a waste of space back then?
