Chapter 213: Hello, Sister-in-law!
Oscar, being a food system soul master, has a slower cultivation speed—this is understandable.
But what about Dai Mubai?
It took Dai Mubai two whole years to break through from level 37 to level 41!
"His cultivation speed seems suspicious!"
"Wait, could it be possible that…?"
Oscar tapped his head and gave Dai Mubai a knowing wink.
That matter—Dai Mubai was aware of it—referred to the thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit's skull soul bone.
Dai Mubai thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Not enough."
"Don't forget whose son he is…"
"That's enough!"
A single thousand-year soul bone wouldn't be enough to bring about such significant improvement. But what if it wasn't just one?
Tang San was the son of a Titled Douluo. Giving Tang San a ten-thousand-year soul bone wouldn't be out of the question, would it?
"It can't just be that we're useless and he's a genius, right?"
"If it were Captain Kong, I'd accept it. But Tang San? Absolutely not!"
Oscar's lips curved into a slight smile.
They had only guessed part of the truth.
Tang San's immense progress was due to his Mysterious Heaven Technique combined with two thousand-year soul bones. This gave him such an extraordinary boost.
Oscar and the others, who had no specific cultivation methods and could only rely on meditation, naturally progressed more slowly—this was the norm.
Ma Hongjun, however, was different. His rapid breakthroughs were a result of accumulated effort and transforming the origin of his Evil Fire into soul power.
"It seems we need to work even harder!"
Ning Rongrong sighed. It was normal not to surpass Kong, but she didn't want to be overshadowed by Tang San!
Even if she was a support system soul master, and cultivation was inherently slower.
"Rongrong, you should settle down. Soul Sage is already your limit…"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced sideways, lowered her head slightly, and softly said to Ning Rongrong.
"???"
Ning Rongrong was stunned. Although Zhu Zhuqing wasn't wrong, there was something about her words that felt… off.
"Annoying Zhuqing! I'll definitely find a way to surpass Soul Sage!" Ning Rongrong shouted in mock anger once she regained her composure.
"I'm the greatest genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in a century and the most likely to break through to Soul Douluo…"
As she continued, Ning Rongrong's confidence began to waver. Deep down, she knew the truth—her abilities had limitations. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda couldn't evolve, Soul Sage would indeed be her ceiling!
So why work so hard? Achieving Soul Sage was just a matter of time anyway…
Zhu Zhuqing, noticing Ning Rongrong's relentless efforts, had offered a kind reminder. For Ning Rongrong, hard work was both useful and futile.
Soul Sage—this was her peak.
The two women fell silent. Meanwhile, on the platform, the battle hadn't started yet. Kong returned to the resting area with a figure clad in purple.
The three-pronged lightning marks on her waist were faint, and it became evident that the newcomer wasn't Ying but the Raiden Shogun.
Holding Raiden Shogun's hand, Kong led her to their original seats.
"Sister-in-law, hello!"
Ma Hongjun was the first to greet her.
"Greetings, Young Sect Mistress!"
"Sister-in-law, hello!"
Everyone followed suit, addressing Raiden Shogun. She seemed slightly unaccustomed to the situation.
"Hello."
After a brief pause, Raiden Shogun responded.
"She's Raiden Shogun, my wife," Kong declared, holding her hand with a smile.
Everyone rolled their eyes. Kong was definitely showing off, wasn't he? He had to be!
He already had a wife, so why were so many women still drawn to him?
This baffled people like Shi Mo and the others. Was it because Kong was strong, handsome, kind, and had an unrivaled background…?
Apart from those qualities, what else did Kong have?
"Hmm…"
Forget it—comparison only leads to frustration.
"Kong, why aren't they fighting yet? Isn't this a battle of souls?"
Raiden Shogun glanced at the stage, puzzled, and asked Kong.
"Uh, they're probably still building momentum," Kong replied without a trace of embarrassment.
A minute of preparation time really did feel a bit long. Even the hour-long wait earlier hadn't felt this drawn out.
"Oh, I see," Raiden Shogun nodded thoughtfully.
Just then, the referee's voice echoed across the arena.
"One minute is up. The match begins!"
"???"
Raiden Shogun turned her head to look at Kong, whose expression remained completely neutral. She found herself deep in thought once again.
"Hmph, Blazing Fire Academy? Let me test you all out first!"
As the referee's announcement ended, Tang San, standing at the back of his team, activated his first soul skill.
"Blue Silver Bind!"
With the soul rings of three Datura Snakes enhancing him, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul had already developed "scales" resembling those of the Datura Snake.
Its toughness compared to before was like the difference between heaven and earth.
With just his first soul skill, multiple Blue Silver Grass vines shot out from Tang San's hands, snaking toward the front line of Blazing Fire Academy.
The initial range of this skill was fifty meters. With Tang San's current strength, while it hadn't yet reached one hundred meters, seventy to eighty meters was no problem.
Huo Wushuang and his team had just started their charge when they were suddenly entangled by the Blue Silver Grass, leaving them utterly bewildered.
What? Who the heck starts a match by immediately using a soul skill? And calls it "just testing the waters"?
This isn't fair play!
The four front-line members were all tightly bound. They hadn't even had time to react.
"Hmph, unfair play!"
Flames erupted from Huo Wushuang's body as he forcefully broke free of the Blue Silver Grass.
The vines that had just bound him fell to the ground, snapping into charred pieces like burnt coal.
The other three Blazing Fire Academy soul masters, all at the Soul Elder level, also broke free at this moment.
"We thought your martial soul had fire resistance—what a joke!"
Initially, they had believed Tang San's martial soul had some resistance to fire attributes, which was why they dared to take the stage so confidently.
To their surprise, these "vines" didn't have any resistance at all!
Hearing this, Tang San's face darkened. Fire attributes posed a significant threat to him.
This attribute shouldn't even exist!
"Swift!"
Tang San shouted and was about to unleash his second soul skill, planning to combine it with his third or fourth skill to pummel Blazing Fire Academy's front line. However, his teammates seemed completely unresponsive to his command!
Didn't he just say "swift"?
"Vice-captain, what's so urgent?"
"…"
"Charge! Take down Blazing Fire Academy's captain first!"
Tang San gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Oh, oh!"
"Attack if you want to attack—what's all this talk of urgency?"
One of the Bear martial soul team members from the second squad grumbled as he rushed toward Huo Wushuang and his team.
Tang San: "You've got to be kidding me!"
Sigh
Taking a deep breath, Tang San calmed himself down slightly. Dealing with teammates like this, who seemed determined to get themselves killed, was just…
