212 Stargod Sword

Purple? A thousand-year soul ring? This realization shocked Ye Xinglan. Shehadn’t seen any of Tang Wulin’s previous battles; her only impression of himwas his weak soul power fluctuations.  

She had expected that he had one ring, but never did she imagine that it wouldbe a purple ring.

Ye Xinglan instantly reassessed the situation with this new piece ofinformation.

To be able to support a thousand-year soul ring, both his body and spirit mustbe powerful! There’s no other explanation for it. Looks like he’s more talentedthan I gave him credit for!

But Ye Xinglan wasn’t worried despite this shocking revelation. Her confidenceas a student of Shrek Academy couldn’t be shaken by something as minor as this.

Two yellow soul rings rose from her feet as she reached out and grasped hercoalescing martial soul. Although her ring configuration was identical to TangWulin’s opponent from the day before, Ye Xinglan’s martial soul gave him acompletely different feeling.

A long sword materialized in her hand. Sparks of light twinkled along theslender brilliance of its yellow blade like the stars in the night sky,showcasing a splendor that was attention-grabbing even in daylight. YeXinglan’s presence faded with the appearance of the sword, her essence fusingwith it.

One with the sword!

A ten-year-old girl has reached such a realm?

Every powerful, perceptive observer in the stands was astonished.

As the two approached each other, Tang Wulin forwent his Bluesilver Grass;instead, he reached out to grab her shoulder.

Ye Xinglan made her move at the very last moment; she took a step to theright.  

This seemingly simple action had Tang Wulin’s gut twisting in alarm.

Ye Xinglan’s one step put her in the perfect position to strike his mostvulnerable weak point. However, momentum propelled him forward and he passedthrough the spot that Ye Xinglan had just moved from. It was too late for himto turn around.

Ye Xinglan slashed at Tang Wulin’s ribs. Her sword stroke was casual andsmooth, slow and steady. Unavoidable.

It was in that moment of crisis that Tang Wulin displayed his body’sflexibility. He twisted his body and his back arched like a bow—while he wasstill within striking distance, it bought him enough time for golden scales toripple across his arm and block the blade..

A metallic tink rang out. Ye Xinglan spun around, dispersing the excess energyof the clash. To her surprise, she found herself two meters from where sheoriginally stood.

Anxiety gripped Tang Wulin. A strange chill had penetrated his scales duringtheir clash and had violently rushed into his body. He summoned his bloodlinepower and soul power into action, sealing the foreign energy off. Only with thecombined power of the two could he keep it at bay.

Even then, light exploded from his right arm, sending him reeling back twosteps.

From just this brief clash, Tang Wulin was clearly the one at a disadvantage.

However, astonishment flashed in Ye Xinglan’s eyes. My Stargod Sword’s stargodenergy couldn’t invade his body? Usually even three-ringed soul masters can’tdefend against it! This guy’s body is weird. His arm has scales on it…

Despite her mind whirling with shock, Ye Xinglan did not pause. Her first soulring lit up the moment she stopped spinning, imbuing starlight into the bladeas she aimed at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin trembled in the face of this attack. Her first move had alreadydisplayed the terrifying strength of her sword; he had already beenhard-pressed to defend against her sword when she wasn’t using a soul skill, sohe could only imagine how powerful it would be when it was combined with one.

Tang Wulin could no longer afford to hold back. Strand after strand ofBluesilver Grass sprang out and wove together into a large net in front of him,intent on enveloping the stellar attack.

His martial soul has nothing to do with the scales on his arm? Does he havetwin souls?Ye Xinglan’s mind quickly processed this new knowledge.

The starlight and Bluesilver Grass collided. Nothing exploded. Instead, golden light dyed each and every strand of grass it touched, wrestling controlof the grass out of Tang Wulin’s hands.

What is that?

Tang Wulin’s shock deepened as Ye Xinglan pointed her sword at the sky,directing the gold-touched Bluesilver Grass into the air. Now, nothing stoodbetween the two.

What a strange soul skill.

Even though he was startled, Tang Wulin quickly retreated. Violet lightflickered in his eyes as he activated Purple Demon Eyes.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, he couldn’t afford not to use every trickup his sleeve.

The moment she saw the purple glint in Tang Wulin’s eyes, Ye Xinglan closedher own. She activated her second soul skill, shrouding herself in starlight.The defense was airtight, without a single gap for Tang Wulin’s Purple DemonEyes to attack.

That shield can defend against spiritual attacks?

Ye Xinglan cut through the net of Bluesilver Grass she had seized control ofand thrust her Stargod Sword at Tang Wulin; flickering duplicates charged atTang Wulin as her footwork changed into mysterious erratic steps.

Not good!

Tang Wulin had a wealth of combat experience, but even the cleverest housewifecouldn’t cook without rice! With the control of his martial soul stolen by hisopponent, what else could he do?

Tang Wulin made a surprising choice: he closed his eyes. Since he couldn’tclearly ascertain the situation, he would use his other senses.

Tang Wulin’s spiritual power exceeded two hundred points, meaning he was inthe intermediate Spirit Connection realm. Taking his constant forging intoconsideration, his perception could not be compared with that of an ordinaryperson. With his gaze still shuttered, he willed his right hand to transforminto the golden dragon claw.

Ding!

Tang Wulin brandished his claws, blocking the strike to his shoulder.

His claw blocked the stargod energy. Even when the Stargod Sword released moreenergy, it couldn’t move a single inch forward.

Tang Wulin held the sword in place, but Ye Xinglan’s responded swiftly. Shefreed her sword with a flick of her wrist and commanded the surroundingstarlight to gather around her sword.

The Stargod Sword grew with a brighter radiance. At the same time, Tang Wulinregained control over his Bluesilver Grass.

Tang Wulin clawed at her, but Ye Xinglan simply swatted his attack down. Hisability to sense Ye Xinglan’s location, on the other hand, was increasinglyaccurate.

“You’ve got some good tricks. It looks like I’ll need to take this seriously.”Ye Xinglan nimbly retreated. Her eyes brightened, then shone as if they weretwo stars. Specks of starlight converged around her and without any warning,she charged forward again, twice as fast a before. Her Stargod Sword seemed tobecome the manifestation of the myriad stars in the skies as it advanced uponTang Wulin.

Tang Wulin recalled his Bluesilver Grass to fortify his defense.

Ye Xinglan’s sword danced as she struck the thicket of grass. With each strokeof her blade, a strand of Bluesilver Grass would explode in a burst of light.

The tip of her sword fluttered about like a butterfly. Bluesilver Grass wouldscatter wherever it touched, until dozens of swords stabbed at Tang Wulinsimultaneously, completely surrounding him.

This wasn’t a soul skill—it was pure technique!
