Tang San walked step by step up to Xiao Chenyu. "No need to try. You can't break free. My first Soul Ring is from the Mandala Snake, so my Blue Silver Grass gained the Mandala Snake's resilience. Of course, it also gained a bit of the Mandala Snake's toxicity. If you feel you still have the strength to fight, I don't mind letting you taste the flavor of Mandala Snake venom. Oh, by the way, I can't detoxify it."
Another dozen or so blades of Blue Silver Grass sprouted behind Tang San, hovering in the air like over a dozen Mandala Snakes poised to strike.
Fear began to appear on the faces of these senior students. Xiao Chenyu's subordinates retreated quickly, almost without thinking.
Even if they hadn't seen a Mandala Snake before, they had certainly heard of it. Who would want to deal with such terrifying snake venom?
"Don't use the snake venom. I surrender." Though Xiao Chenyu was the boss among the students, he was only twelve after all, and still capable of a child's fear. For a moment, he completely lost his composure.
Actually, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass did have poison, but since it was only from his first Soul Ring, and not from a more powerful Mandala Snake, the attached toxicity only had a paralyzing effect. It wasn't a lethal poison. But how would Xiao Chenyu dare risk testing it with his own body?
The Blue Silver Grass silently vanished from beneath Xiao Chenyu's feet. Tang San's face showed the mild smile familiar to the Work-study Students. "Since you've already surrendered, then let's proceed according to the arrangement you made with Xiao Wu earlier."
Xiao Chenyu stared blankly at Tang San. "So should I acknowledge you as the boss or her?" He simply couldn't believe Xiao Wu's strength could surpass Tang San's. A six-year-old Soul Master already exceeded his understanding.
Tang San smiled. "Of course Xiao Wu is your boss. I can't beat her. Otherwise, the head of Dormitory Seven would be me, not her."
"Ah?" Xiao Chenyu's mouth formed a perfect 'O'. He thought, you're already this tough, and she's even stronger? Are you two really Work-study Students, and really only six years old?
Xiao Wu slowly walked to Tang San's side and patted his shoulder, striking the posture of a big sister. "Little San did well. Good work."
Tang San chuckled. "The Great Master still needs me to run some errands. The rest you can handle yourself. From now on, you're the big sister of the academy."
Xiao Wu laughed and punched Tang San lightly on the shoulder. "Alright, you go on. I'll take care of the rest."
After speaking, her gaze shifted to Xiao Chenyu. "What? Still not convinced? Fine. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Wu, a first-year Work-study Student. My Martial Soul is the Rabbit. I'm a twelve-level, one-ring Battle Soul Master."
Forget about Xiao Chenyu—even Tang San, who hadn't left yet, was startled. He was only now learning that Xiao Wu was also a Soul Master, and even one level higher than him. But she was about the same age as him. Could it be that she too had Innate Full Soul Power?
The light emanating from Xiao Wu's body was red. Under the faint crimson glow, her eyes began to turn red, and her ears slowly lengthened, rising from the sides of her head covered in soft white fur. Her figure seemed to grow a little taller, and a gentle aura of Soul Power rippled around her body. The Soul Ring rising from her feet was, just like Tang San's, a yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
Xiao Chenyu slapped his own forehead hard. "Sister Xiao Wu, I submit! From now on, you're the big sister of our Nuoding Elementary Soul Master Academy. Everyone, come here and pay respects to Sister Xiao Wu."
A single-ring Blue Silver Grass Tool Soul Master was already that formidable. This was a twelve-level, one-ring Battle Soul Master, and also with a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Xiao Chenyu didn't even need to fight to know he was no match for Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked with some pride at the group of senior students bowing before her. She glanced at the dazed Tang San standing there. "Didn't you have somewhere to be? Why are you still standing here? Just because you have Innate Full Soul Power doesn't mean I can't, does it?"
Tang San snapped out of his thoughts, looked carefully at Xiao Wu, reached out and touched one of her soft, long ears, and nodded. "Xiao Wu, so you really are a rabbit."
"You..." Rabbit ears were the most sensitive, and as her Martial Soul, this effect was amplified on Xiao Wu. The young girl's fair cheeks instantly gained two rosy flushes. She raised her hand to hit him, but Tang San had already fled at lightning speed.
Leaving aside how Xiao Wu settled things afterward, once Tang San ran out of the academy, his mood couldn't help but lift. Besides worrying about the Great Master's poisoned injury, everything else was better than he had imagined. The problem of cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill was finally solved, and he had even gained the Blue Silver Grass Binding skill, representing significant progress in his strength. Tang San believed that as long as he kept training diligently, his Mysterious Heaven Skill would advance rapidly. At most, within ten years, as long as he could reach the fifth realm of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he would have achieved minor success. At that point, most of the Hidden Weapons recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record would become usable.
Hadn't the Great Master said that this world had many clans and sects centered around Martial Souls? What was wrong with establishing a new Tang Sect here in this other world?
On the Soul Land, whether in the Tian Dou Empire or the Xing Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall in any city would be that city's landmark building. Tang San simply asked a passerby and quickly found the location of the Spirit Hall.
The earlier duel help for the Work-study Students had already cost some time, and he still needed to bring lunch back to the Great Master, so Tang San ran to the Spirit Hall at his fastest speed, not wanting to waste any more time.
"Stop. Little one, this is the Spirit Hall. You can't just barge in." The moment Tang San arrived at the Spirit Hall, he was stopped by a guard at the gate.
The Spirit Hall of Nuoding City was a massive domed building. The front facade alone was over a hundred meters wide and twenty meters tall, divided into three levels.
The entire structure was brown, and the Spirit Hall insignia on the main door featured only a single long sword. Through the Great Master's earlier explanation, Tang San knew that an insignia with only one design meant that the Spirit Hall of Nuoding City was the lowest grade.
