Chapter 137: So What?

Chapter 137: So What?

Upon witnessing Tang San's initiative to unleash his second martial soul, Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes. She had been informed by her father about Tang San's dual martial souls, the other being the Haotian Hammer. However, she hadn't anticipated that Tang San would willingly expose his secret.

Tsk, the Qibao Liuli Sect had planned to use this information to extort him, but now he had chosen to reveal it himself, causing them to "lose out" on a substantial sum. Nonetheless, Ning Rongrong didn't mind this turn of events.

By Ning Rongrong's side, Zhu Wu's eyes lit up as she caught sight of the Haotian Hammer in Tang San's hand. Indeed, just as that guy had said, Tang San possessed dual martial souls, and his other martial soul was the formidable Haotian Hammer.

Nonetheless, Zhu Wu didn't agree with the notion of it being the number one weapon martial soul. In her opinion, Tang Yuehua's Seven-String Ring Blade was more deserving of that title. It was versatile, capable of both offense and defense, and could even be used for support if necessary. If not for Tang Yuehua's lack of pursuit for high combat power, Zhu Wu believed that at the same level, she wouldn't stand a chance against her.

However, looking at Tang San's two martial souls left Zhu Wu speechless. Bibi Dong's innocent martial souls complemented each other perfectly, and it made sense for her to add a martial soul ring first. But why did Tang San's dual martial souls require the addition of another martial soul ring? Wasn't he afraid of the two conflicting powers within his body leading to an explosion and his death? She had experienced the uncomfortable sensation of two forces rampaging within her, and it hadn't been pleasant.

If not for A'Lan's extensive knowledge and innate control over two elements, which allowed her to learn from and adjust, she wouldn't have been able to recover in time for the Youth Soul Master Tournament.

It was understandable that Wang Si, currently in control of Yu Xiaogang's body, wouldn't emphasize this point. After all, he had been like this before taking control of Yu Xiaogang. Nothing could be said about that.

However... since Wang Si had guessed that Tang San exposed his dual martial souls, it was time to move on to the next plan.

...

As Tang San stood on the stage with the Haotian Hammer in hand, he undoubtedly elicited cheers from the audience. However, there were also those who recognized the Haotian Hammer and wore unpleasant expressions, as it reminded them of unpleasant matters.

Nonetheless, the Haotian Hammer's appearance didn't awe the audience. In the initial few days, it had caught others off guard, but Tang San's Haotian Hammer lacked a martial soul ring, which was a significant weakness.

The one-month selection tournament was nearing its conclusion, and several academies had already secured their advancement based on their accumulated points.

However, a few academies, including Shrek Academy, still needed to compete due to insufficient points.

Even though Tang San had revealed his dual martial souls, the weakness of his Bluesilver Grass and the lack of a martial soul ring for the Haotian Hammer meant that its strength wasn't exceptionally high.

During this period, they had even lost a match to the Shenfeng Academy. Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill was slightly stronger than Tang San's Whirlwind Dance.

To advance, Shrek Academy needed to win both of their remaining matches.

However, the team they would face in their final match was the Tianwu Academy, a team that Shrek Academy had never encountered and hoped never to meet.

...

"If only I had used my second martial soul earlier. We could have advanced by winning just one of the earlier matches!" Tang San couldn't help but feel regretful at this moment.

Initially, they had been disdainful of the tournament rules because they believed that as long as they won against all the other teams, they would emerge victorious overall.

But they had miscalculated.

Losing to Shenfeng Academy put Shrek Academy in an awkward position. Now, they were just one match away from advancing successfully.

"There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. It's just the Tianwu Academy's match. I'll take care of it," Tang San said.

Hearing Tang San's words, Liu Erlong stepped forward expressionlessly.

Seeing Liu Erlong take a step forward and say such words, everyone fell silent.

Just over ten days ago, Liu Erlong had returned to Shrek Academy, limping upon her return.

Without needing to ask, they knew what had happened.

Now, she was speaking up again, undoubtedly preparing to have another "chat" with Tianwu Academy.

As for what kind of "chat" that would be, everyone knew what it implied.

The last time Liu Erlong had left without saying goodbye, and the other students hadn't said anything.

But now, after hearing her speak up in advance, the imagined "obstruction" didn't appear.

In fact, under Liu Erlong's "unintentional" gaze, some people only clenched their fists, their faces contorted in pain as they sat there.

......

The next day, Tianwu Academy withdrew from the tournament under the pretext of giving their students a rest.

Facing Liu Erlong's sacrifice of her body for their victory, the students had mixed feelings.

For those who admired their teacher, they believed that her actions were a noble sacrifice. To be honest, only the original Lan Ba Academy students felt this way!

In their eyes, the teacher was doing this for the honor of the academy, to ensure their victory over their opponents.

She was striving for the academy and the students, and they saw it as a noble act. They were grateful for her dedication and saw her as courageous and the pride of the academy.

These students believed that their teacher's actions were worthy of respect and admiration, and she was a selfless role model.

However, there were also some students who felt extremely disappointed and angry at their teacher's behavior.

They believed that Liu Erlong had completely deviated from the professional ethics and moral standards of a teacher.

The fact that a teacher would sell her body was undoubtedly a fall from grace and a betrayal. They felt that the teacher had destroyed her own reputation and dignity and brought shame upon the academy.

These students thought that the teacher should have sought victory through legitimate means instead of becoming someone else's plaything. They saw her actions as shameful and a desecration of the teaching profession.

There were also some students who didn't care about the teacher's plight and only cared about winning the competition.

As long as the academy ultimately won the tournament, nothing else mattered.

These students turned a blind eye to the teacher's sacrifice and only cared about their own interests being satisfied.

They believed that as long as they won the competition, the teacher's plight was not worth sympathizing over or even concerning themselves with. These students lacked empathy and only focused on their personal achievements, disregarding the teacher's situation.

As for who those latter students were...

......

Liu Erlong also gave up completely. After leaving Shrek Academy, she threw herself into Tianwu Academy's embrace without looking back.

As for the voices of dissent from Shrek Academy, could they be any louder than the controversy she had caused when she was left alone at the wedding venue?

She wouldn't push her luck any further, as she didn't want to be seen as shameless...
