Chapter 136: The Second Martial Soul

Chapter 136: The Second Martial Soul

Ning Rongrong didn't make a fuss; she quietly brought Xiao Wu to the Shrek Academy.

Seeing Xiao Wu, Tang San was naturally the most excited.

Before Xiao Wu could even sit down, he reached out to grab her, but Xiao Wu nimbly dodged his movement.

"Xiao Wu, how have you been at Tianwu Academy these days?"

Tang San scratched his nose awkwardly but still asked curiously.

Xiao Wu ignored him, and Ning Rongrong pulled her away to the other side.

Seeing that Xiao Wu still didn't want to pay attention to him, Tang San's expression turned gloomy. What did those people from Tianwu Academy say to Xiao Wu, and why was she now ignoring him?

He wanted to go and ask the people from Tianwu Academy for an explanation, but the current relationship between Tianwu and Shrek Academies was... complicated, to say the least.

"Next, Shrek Academy versus Blazing Fire Academy!"

Just as Tang San was deep in thought with a gloomy expression, the referee called out their team.

Although he had anticipated this, when he heard 'Blazing Fire Academy,' his temples twitched involuntarily.

Blazing Fire Academy, an academy of the fire element. This meant that his Bluesilver Grass would be unable to participate in the battle.

This left Tang San feeling a bit disappointed.

There weren't many outstanding students in Shrek Academy to begin with, and he was so easily countered.

Advancing to the next round wouldn't be easy.

Seeing Dai Mubai and Oscar leading a group of novices onto the stage, Tang San couldn't help but feel helpless.

Lowering his head, he looked at his left hand, his expression turning somber.

"Teacher, today's competition isn't very helpful for me. I'll go back to the rest area first."

Tang San looked at his teacher and made his request.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was a little distracted, and he nodded blankly.

"Go ahead. Today's competition indeed doesn't require you to participate."

............

Back in the rest area, Tang San stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He was well aware of his current condition—his limbs were injured, and he couldn't use his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track or his Jade Phosphor Hand.

With the current strength of his Bluesilver Grass, there was no doubt that he would only be a burden to the team in a fight.

He could only sigh and extend his left hand. A hammer, completely dark blue in color, appeared in his palm.

The moment the hammer appeared, Tang San instantly felt his body filled with power, and there were even signs of his injured bones healing.

This was the boost that a powerful martial soul could provide!

Did he really need to pursue the ultimate effect of having his second martial soul be all-millennium?

Actually, the first soul ring of his second martial soul being a thousand-year one wasn't bad at all.

But thinking of his teacher and his father, Tang San shook his head helplessly. They both desperately hoped that his second martial soul would be all-black.

Forget it, he'd hold off on adding soul rings for now.

Holding the Haotian Hammer, Tang San went to the training area in the rest room.

Gripping the Haotian Hammer and feeling the enhanced strength of his body, Tang San began to try using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step.

With the Haotian Hammer in hand, his physical strength was greatly enhanced, and the hidden injuries in his legs didn't matter much.

To his surprise, he successfully performed a set of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, although the Haotian Hammer was too heavy, making it a bit difficult to maintain his balance during the technique.

Almost subconsciously, Tang San swung out with the Chaos Hammer Technique to maintain his balance.

Incredibly, he succeeded! Realizing his incredible action, Tang San was shocked. It seemed like the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track could be combined with the Chaos Hammer Technique!

This way, he could release a soul skill without needing to add soul rings to his second martial soul!

In the evening, Tang San, drenched in sweat, saw the dejected members of Team Shrek returning.

Undoubtedly, they had lost today's match.

They had witnessed the might of the Blazing Fire Academy before, and apart from the Tianwu Academy, they had crushed all their opponents.

Tang San pulled Yu Xiaogang aside and spoke in a solemn tone, "Teacher, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Sensing the unusual seriousness in Tang San's attitude, Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brows slightly.

"What is it? Why so secretive?"

Tang San took a deep breath and looked directly into Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"I want to use my second martial soul in the upcoming matches."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, not expecting such a request from Tang San, and then he frowned, "But your second martial soul is too important to us. If others find out, it might bring us trouble. Moreover, it's just a match. Are you sure you want to reveal your second martial soul for a single match?"

"I understand your concerns," Tang San nodded. "But the outcome of this competition is crucial to our advancement. Now is a critical moment. If we can gain an advantage in the upcoming matches by using my second martial soul, won't that bring us one step closer to the championship? As for whether it's worth using my second martial soul for a single match..."

Tang San paused, exhaling heavily, and then continued with a helpless tone.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan already knows about my second martial soul. Since they know, it's only a matter of time before other forces find out as well. There's no point in keeping it hidden anymore!"

Yu Xiaogang fell silent for a moment, clearly weighing the pros and cons. He knew Tang San made sense, but Tang San's second martial soul was incredibly valuable, and if their enemies learned of it, they might face even greater threats in the future.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang didn't respond immediately, Tang San added, "You know I'm usually cautious. But this time, I truly feel it's necessary. Not only can it help us win, but it will also draw attention. With the entire continent aware of my dual martial souls, there will undoubtedly be more eyes on me, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan won't dare to target me so openly."

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a long while before finally nodding in agreement. "Alright, I trust you have your reasons. But before we reveal it, let's discuss countermeasures to minimize the risks."

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with the others thoroughly," Tang San assured him.

"With our seamless coordination, we'll definitely achieve victory in the upcoming matches," he added with a smile.

The two returned to the rest area, and Tang San immediately gathered all the team members.

"Everyone, I have something to discuss with you," he began, pausing briefly as his gaze swept across the group before extending his left hand.

A small blue hammer appeared before them, and the team members were all stunned, their faces filled with confusion. This was... a dual martial soul! Their eyes widened in astonishment as they looked at Tang San, finding it hard to believe.

Especially Dai Mubai, who recognized the hammer the instant he saw it.

"Haotian Hammer!" he exclaimed.
