Chapter 207: Tang San Furiously Rebukes Li Yusong
The crowd revealed looks of awe one after another. After all, Soul Emperor and Soul Saint were already distant, unreachable figures to them.
But in reality, any soul master with even a bit of knowledge could see through the trick with a little thought.
Although Shrek Academy claimed to meet the standards of an advanced soul master academy, their qualification application had never actually been approved.
Shrek did not even dare to call itself an advanced academy.
Moreover, anyone with basic knowledge of the soul master world knew that in truly legitimate advanced soul master academies, the minimum cultivation level for a dean had to be Soul Saint.
As for those top-tier advanced academies, without exception, their deans were all Soul Douluo-level powerhouses!
With Shrek Academy's current shabby setup of a few poor teachers thrown together, would it even be presentable in a big city?
However, it was more than enough to fool these rural commoners who had never seen much of the world.
Facing Dai Mubai's boasting, Tang San merely let out a cold chuckle, completely unfazed.
He looked straight at Li Yusong and said without backing down, "My second soul ring configuration did indeed encounter an unavoidable accident."
"But that only means my luck was bad. On what grounds do you conclude that I have no hope of becoming a top-tier powerhouse in the future?"
Then Tang San's gaze suddenly turned sharp. "Moreover, from what I see, this teacher in charge of registration—your own first soul ring—also started from the lowest-tier ten-year white ring, didn't it?"
Earlier, when Li Yusong warned those dissatisfied applicants who wanted their fees back, he had displayed his martial soul and soul ring configuration.
Tang San's counter-question was like a blade stabbing straight into Li Yusong's heart.
"Since you yourself have a white ring, what right do you have to demand that both of my soul rings must be standard optimal configurations?"
"You keep calling yourselves a monster academy. Shouldn't every teacher in your academy also have the most top-tier standard soul ring configuration?"
"If even the teachers themselves are flawed, then what confidence and face do you have to shamelessly claim you can teach so-called monster students?"
Tang San's words struck straight to the core. Li Yusong's expression instantly changed, turning ashen.
Being challenged publicly by a mere twelve-year-old brat, Li Yusong felt utterly humiliated, his anger surging.
"Bang!"
Li Yusong slammed his Dragon Pattern Staff martial soul heavily onto the ground, producing a dull thud.
In an instant, a powerful soul power fluctuation belonging to a Soul Emperor surged out from his body like a storm.
This heavy pressure swept directly toward Tang San, instantly causing his chest to tighten as he was forced to stagger backward several steps.
Tang San's earlier words had hit precisely at Li Yusong's sore spot.
Among all the teachers in Shrek Academy, although his martial soul was decent, his soul ring configuration was indeed the worst.
After steadying himself, a flash of purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes as the Purple Demon Eye was activated.
Not only did he not retreat, but he slowly placed his left hand on the storage soul tool at his waist—the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
Tang San coldly questioned, "What? Unable to win with reason, so you, a Soul Emperor teacher, want to bully the weak in public?"
Tang San knew clearly that the old man before him was a genuine Soul Emperor.
The gap in strength was like a chasm, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
If a real conflict broke out here, then against a Soul Emperor, the only thing he could rely on to survive would be the Tang Sect's hidden weapons coated in deadly poison.
Seeing Tang San like this, Li Yusong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and sneered.
"As a teacher of the academy, I naturally wouldn't stoop so low as to bully a junior in public."
Then he turned his head and said to Dai Mubai, who had been watching the show, "Mubai, go and teach him a proper lesson!"
"Let him understand what true monster strength really is!"
Then Li Yusong looked coldly at Tang San. "Kid, I'll give you a chance today. Use whatever methods you like."
"As long as you can defeat Mubai in this match, I'll make an exception and allow you to enroll."
In truth, after suffering such unreasonable ridicule and obstruction, Tang San no longer had any intention of enrolling.
Even if this run-down Shrek Academy had been recommended by his teacher.
But as a disciple of the Tang Sect, his pride could not be trampled. Even if he did not enroll today, he had to fight for his dignity!
In the center of the field, the crowd quickly scattered, leaving a large open space.
Dai Mubai slowly walked to stand opposite Tang San and released his martial soul without hesitation.
"Dai Mubai, rank thirty-seven, Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder. Please advise!"
Seeing the massive white tiger phantom behind him, Tang San's expression turned serious.
He immediately recognized it. This was the White Tiger martial soul his teacher had mentioned—a top-tier beast martial soul!
The blonde youth before him, who did not seem much older than himself, was already a rank thirty-seven Soul Elder!
A full major realm difference. This battle was destined to be difficult.
The fight was about to erupt!
Tang San's gaze sharpened as he chose to take the initiative.
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
As the hundred-year yellow soul ring beneath Tang San lit up, dozens of thick vines burst from the ground.
A large amount of Blue Silver Grass grew wildly beneath Dai Mubai's feet at astonishing speed, tightly wrapping around his legs.
Facing this overwhelming control skill, Dai Mubai merely sneered disdainfully. "Just a pile of useless grass, and you think it can trap me?"
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Shield Body Barrier!"
A dense, dazzling white light shield instantly appeared over his body. With a surge of explosive force, it shattered the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his legs into pieces.
Watching the grass fragments scatter through the air, Tang San thought to himself, "As expected of a top-tier beast martial soul. Just the first soul skill already has such a powerful, destructive force!"
Seeing that Blue Silver Entanglement was ineffective, Tang San immediately changed tactics, his hands moving rapidly.
He controlled the remaining Blue Silver Grass like tough whips, quickly wrapping around stones and wooden debris scattered across the open ground.
"Go!" Tang San swung both hands fiercely. The heavy stones and logs, cutting through the air with sharp sounds, shot toward Dai Mubai like cannonballs.
Facing the incoming objects, Dai Mubai advanced instead of retreating, snorting coldly. "Petty tricks, and you dare show off in front of me!"
