Flender said seriously, "The graduation standard for Shrek Academy is reaching level 40 in Soul Power."
"You're already level 40. I can lead the team later to help you hunt for a Soul Ring."
"What are your plans afterward?"
Tang Lan was prepared and answered fluently.
"My age is what it is, and nothing else is suitable for me right now."
"I'm also worried about Little Sanzi and Xiao Wu, so I still hope to stay at Shrek."
"As for my usual training…"
"Apart from team training, I hope you, Principal, can let me arrange my own schedule for other times."
Flender smiled.
He flicked a stick of incense, which landed and stuck into the tree trunk.
"If you want preferential treatment from me, you need to prove it with your strength."
Tang Lan wasn't in a hurry to act.
He feigned distress, saying, "Yesterday, I only managed to win by taking advantage of Teacher Zhao's underestimation and our teamwork."
"Principal Flender, your level is even higher than Teacher Zhao's, right?"
"How can I possibly win against you?"
"How about you give me a chance?"
Flender's expression remained unchanged; he was not persuaded.
"Enemies won't give you a chance."
"If you want privileges, convince me with your strength."
With that,
He directly summoned his Martial Soul, the Cat Owl, and stood with his hands behind his back.
This caused Tang Lan's brow to twitch!
Last night,
Tang Hao had assumed the same posture, challenging both Flender and Zhao Wuji.
Was this 'a son repaying his father's debt'? Fine! So that's how we're playing it?
Tang Lan summoned his Thunderflame Clear Sky Hammer with his right hand. With a flash of lightning, it transformed into a half-man-high great hammer and fell into his grasp.
The Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor appeared behind him, ready at any moment.
"Third Soul Skill: Life Burial!"
The Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor didn't need to spread out. It burst forth directly from under Flender's feet, entangling and strangling him within!
Layer upon layer, it formed a ten-meter-wide grass ball.
Waves of Soul Power fluctuations erupted from within, but they couldn't keep up with the growth speed of the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
This! This was the true terror of Life Burial—no need to charge, target locked, and inexhaustible! Tang Lan's internal energy was already ten times that of his peers, and it was constantly regenerating, recovering qi and blood extremely quickly.
The Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor itself would also devour the enemy's energy, reducing the consumption of Soul Skills.
For a time,
He actually managed to trap Flender within using this third Soul Skill!
Tang Lan wasn't idle either.
Holding the Thunderflame Clear Sky Hammer, immense internal energy continuously poured into it, his aura soaring.
This caused Dai Mubai and the others, who were passing by after completing their laps, to stop collectively.
How does this look Even stronger than yesterday? Zhao Wuji, hidden in the shadows, was even more stunned! This kid was holding back yesterday? Finally,
Flender knew he couldn't delay any longer and could only activate his Soul Skill—
"Fourth Soul Skill: Eagle Claw Cut!"
Three sharp energy blades sliced through the heavy obstacles, attacking Tang Lan.
In response,
Tang Lan ignored them, his left hand, which had already been raised, clenched heavily—
"Burst!"
"Boom boom boom—"
All the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperors self-destructed collectively! A powerful airflow swept out, pushing over all the nearby wooden houses.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others, who were further away, had their vision obscured by flying sand and stones, forcing them to raise their hands and dispel it with their Soul Power.
Looking again at the center of the arena, Flender was covered in a layer of golden armor and was not injured in this explosion.
But "That's Master's Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Cat Owl!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed. "Brother Lan can actually do this much?"
Others widened their eyes!
A rank 7 Soul Saint was forced to use his sixth Soul Skill by a rank 4 Soul Ancestor?
Are you writing a novel or something! Ning Rongrong questioned, "While the power looks great, it's not enough to warrant using the sixth Soul Skill, is it?"
"What do you know!" Xiao Wu retorted, "Brother's second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Emperor Burst, comes with barbed shots! Once it pierces the body, it can continuously devour Soul Power, mental energy, and even life force!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned by the retort! Shouldn't she listen to what was being said? Is this the effect a second Soul Skill should have? "Dean, look at the hammer!"
Tang Lan roared, drawing everyone's attention.
The long-prepared Thunderflame Clear Sky Hammer was raised high. As Tang Lan leaped into the air, he brought it crashing down towards Flender, who was about to take flight! Flender was also quite bold.
A rank 78 fighting a rank 40, and he still thought about retreating and dodging.
But Tang Lan raised his left hand again and grabbed him from a distance! "Come back here!"
"Roar—"
A golden, coiling dragon wrapped around Flender, dragging him and preventing his escape.
—Dragon Catching Hand!
Although it was quickly shattered by Flender, the timing was missed.
He could only activate his fourth Soul Ring and continuously swung his hands, creating ten sharp energy blades.
Just as they were about to clash head-on… "Bang—"
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
A large number of Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor emerged from the ground.
Tang Lan, who was advancing aggressively, turned and retreated.
—It was just a feint.
He used Lingbo Weibu, stepping on the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor to maneuver.
Like threading a needle, he narrowly passed through the ten sharp energy blades.
He swung his hammer towards Flender's shoulder.
Flender didn't have time to use another Soul Skill and could only counter with his Eagle Claw.
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
Tang Lan was sent flying.
He circled a thick Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, and like a boomerang, he returned with another hammer blow.
And during the brief interval just now, a large number of Life Soul Blue Silver Emperors formed a massive prison, locking down the sky above.
Given the toughness of the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, for Flender to escape the prison, he would have to endure Tang Lan's hammer blow head-on! If it were any other time, Flender might have chosen that.
But!
That was the Clear Sky Hammer! The number one spirit weapon in the world! And it was a mutated one! He was using the Chaotic Gale Hammer Technique, and Tang Lan had mastered Heavenly Strike, able to switch to his strongest attack at any moment.
Even as a seven-ringed Soul Saint, he wouldn't dare to take that hammer blow head-on! —The consequences could be seen from Zhao Wuji yesterday.
He could only continue to swing his Eagle Claw, sending Tang Lan flying again.
But Tang Lan used Lingbo Weibu, circling a Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, and the third hammer blow followed closely.
The time gap left was not enough for Flender to escape.
Forced to remain in place, he took Tang Lan's hammer blow after hammer blow.
As they fought, Flender realized something was wrong!
It was one thing that the Chaotic Gale Hammer Technique was getting stronger with each blow.
But how could those Life Soul Blue Silver Emperors absorb his Soul Power from such a distance? Although the absorption was less than half of direct entanglement, and his mental power and life force were unaffected.
But he couldn't withstand the sheer volume! They were blocking out the sky, and when piled together, they were draining him relentlessly! And, logically speaking,
Tang Lan, a level 40 Soul Ancestor, and himself, a level 78 Soul Saint, their direct clashes should have been enough to overwhelm him! He had already exchanged over twenty blows, and he was completely unharmed! There was something strange going on! "Third Soul Skill·Seek Weakness!"
With the Cat Owl's unique perspective, Flender discovered that during each clash, the golden light on Tang Lan's body would dissipate most of the force.
He didn't recognize the Indestructible Vajra Body, but he knew he was in trouble! And the remaining aftershocks,
given Tang Lan's physique, which could withstand a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, were not a threat.
Since physical damage wouldn't work, he'd go for magical damage! He saw…
