SoulLand:Ascending to Godhood through Science

Tang San was taken aback when he saw You Chen disregard everyone else and focus solely on him, even going so far as to use his martial spirit embodiment just to quickly break through and deal with him.

Wait, do we have such a big grudge? Weren't those senior students the ones who provoked you first!?

If You Chen knew Tang San's thoughts, he'd probably dismiss him with a flick on the forehead: "You were the one who challenged me first, remember?"

After the martial spirit embodiment, You Chen's speed dramatically increased.

According to the Douluo Continent's classifications, You Chen's martial spirit was agility-based, and its toughness was a product of high-quality martial spirits' inherent superiority.

If the speed You Chen exhibited before was enough to make Tang San wary, the speed he now displayed left him wide-eyed in disbelief.

'First Spirit Skill, Bind!'

Tang San didn't hold back, immediately using his spirit skill!

He had already noticed that even Xiao Chenyu, the supposed big shot of the sixth-grade, only had a ten-year spirit ring, highlighting how rare century spirit rings were! Their control power was unparalleled by any casual manipulation!

But Hu Liena, secretly observing the battle, frowned.

'It's just Blue Silver Grass; can its century spirit skill really bind You Xing?'

These Nordin City spirit masters generally lacked perception. Except for Xiao Chenyu, who recognized Tang San's prowess, others had no sense of the power disparity.

But Hu Liena was different, having received extremely systematic education.

She could tell that Tang San's displayed qualities were overwhelming for these Nordin City students!

If anyone had a chance of defeating You Xing, it was Tang San! But it was only a possibility.

This possibility stemmed from Hu Liena herself!

'I planned to exhaust You Xing's spirit power and energy a bit more. That way, the power needed to influence him would be negligible, even You Chen might not notice. But seeing this... if I don't act, this Blue Silver Grass spirit master named Tang San will soon be defeated! No, I can't wait any longer! If I wait until You Xing defeats a dozen people before acting, he'll lose with honor. That doesn't fit my plan!'

Hu Liena decided to act, even at the risk of exposure!

In an instant, a pink glow flickered in Hu Liena's eyes!

And then...

Splash!

Hu Liena's eyes widened as blood trickled from her eyes, nose, and mouth, and she collapsed.

In the moments before losing consciousness, she thought indignantly: 'How is his mental strength so strong!?'

The Soul Emperor secretly protecting Hu Liena watched this unfold, reminiscing about his youthful days, until he noticed his charge bleeding from her orifices and fainting.

Panicked, he rushed to her side.

Fortunately, Hu Liena had stayed on the periphery, and everyone was focused on the main battle, so no one noticed this.

Unfortunately, or perhaps not, someone else was observing everything—a Title Douluo.

Had this Title Douluo not seen his own son knocked out by You Chen at the same time, he might have pursued the unfamiliar Soul Emperor immediately.

Now, after confirming his son was merely unconscious and unharmed, he decided to follow.

He was curious and concerned about how a small place like Nordin City could harbor a Soul Emperor-level expert. But he didn't ponder his own presence there as a Title Douluo.

'That mental fluctuation just now...'

Tang Hao recalled the mental attack Hu Liena used on You Chen, deep in thought.

Back at the schoolyard brawl...

Without his martial spirit embodiment, Tang San might have stood a chance.

But with You Chen embodying his martial spirit, coupled with physical prowess akin to a Grandmaster, a swift knockout was inevitable.

Even You Chen felt a flicker of joy.

'The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, finally mine!'

With the task complete and Tang San unconscious, You Chen lost interest in further dramatic displays.

Aiming to wrap things up quickly, he scanned the crowd, focusing on the initially loud Xiao Chenyu, giving him a chill.

Seeing You Chen's swift knockout of Tang San, Xiao Chenyu calculated his chances and, realizing You Chen could easily dispatch them all, raised both hands, forcing a sycophantic smile: "Can't we resolve this peacefully?"

Thud!

"Good night."

You Chen's response was a punch that knocked Xiao Chenyu out cold.

Seeing their leader also down, students who hadn't realized the power gap when Tang San was defeated were now aware.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three fell to their knees, Xiao Chenyu's lackeys pleading: "We surrender! We surrender! You Xing, from today, you're our only sun!"

Lackeys? Boss?

What nonsense!

You Chen had no time for their pleas and dispatched them all the same.

To prevent them from thinking he was heartless, he courteously bid each a "good night."

Though it sounded eerily like sending them off, making it chilling!

For the first thirty seconds, they kept pleading.

In the next thirty, some regrouped and resisted.

By the third thirty seconds, everyone was fleeing, wailing about a "bloodless, tearless demon" and "it's the madman!"

They realized You Chen didn't care if they surrendered or admitted fault; he was even attacking spectators!

Most importantly, together they couldn't match the madman! They couldn't even make him bleed!

What else could they do but run!?

You Chen floored the last one with his back turned, then noticed dozens braving to face him, frowning as he moved to finish them off.

"Eep—! You Xing, I'm your dorm mate! I'm an ally, an ally!"

Hearing his dorm mate's cry brought You Chen back, a flash of embarrassment crossing his eyes.

Uh, got too into character... You Chen mused.

But he wouldn't explain. It wouldn't fit his persona, not for any other reason.

So, ignoring the adoring gazes of his dorm mates, he greeted Xiao Wu with her odd expression and chose to leave quietly...

"Hey, didn't You Xing reveal his spirit ring when his martial spirit was embodied?"

"Eep, that Blue Silver Grass guy had a hundred-year spirit ring; what kind does You Xing have?"

"Must be a thousand-year ring!"

"A mere thousand? How could that befit You Xing's spirit ring!? At least ten thousand!"

Thus, a ridiculous rumor soon spread in Nordin City Academy—that You Xing's first spirit ring was ten thousand years old, earning him respectful glances from teachers.

For a long, long time, it was finally confirmed... it wasn't just a rumor!

Though in the following days, some doubted how a one-ring spirit master could have a ten thousand-year ring.

But after witnessing You Chen's unfathomable prowess, such doubts became trivial.
