Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 111: Tang San is Shocked

Su Mo glanced at Dai Mubai after hearing his remark, fully aware of the thoughts running through his mind.

"Hehe, you won't believe it!" Ning Rongrong spoke first before Su Mo could respond. "Su Mo and I both broke through to Soul Elder! Su Mo is already at level 42, even higher than me by one level!"

"What?"

"You two are both Soul Elders now? That's impossible…"

"…"

The news left Dai Mubai and the others wide-eyed in disbelief. Even Tang San, usually calm and composed, looked utterly stunned as he stared at Su Mo and Ning Rongrong.

No one could have imagined that the two of them had advanced their cultivation so quickly.

"You're both only 14 years old, right? And already Soul Elders, just like Tang San? That's monstrous!"

"Incredible!"

Their teammates were astonished beyond words. The new members of the Shrek team were equally shocked as they stared at Su Mo and Ning Rongrong in amazement.

"How can this be…"

Among those struggling to accept the news, Dai Mubai was hit the hardest. He had assumed that Su Mo was still nowhere near the 30th rank. Now, hearing that Su Mo was already at level 42—higher than Tang San by one level—was a bitter pill to swallow.

Dai Mubai, who had been ready to mock Su Mo, suddenly realized the joke was on him.

"How did you two do it? This is just too outrageous!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened as he blurted out the question.

"Yes… it's unbelievable!"

Oscar, equally wide-eyed, struggled to wrap his head around the situation.

Oscar had always harbored a slight resentment toward Su Mo, especially since Ning Rongrong had chosen Su Mo. He believed himself to be the more talented one, but because he wasn't a battle soul master, he didn't meet Ning Rongrong's criteria, and so he had reluctantly given up.

Oscar had always considered himself superior to Su Mo. After all, Su Mo was just someone with an innate soul power of level 2, someone who only made it into Shrek Academy through sheer luck.

But now, with Su Mo's soul power surpassing his own, Oscar felt utterly crushed.

Su Mo's progress wasn't just surpassing him—it was rubbing his face in the dirt.

"Rongrong, are you and Su Mo really Soul Elders now?"

Zhu Zhuqing, finding it hard to believe, asked Ning Rongrong directly for confirmation.

"Of course we are!"

Buzz—

Ning Rongrong's confident response was accompanied by the summoning of her martial soul. Four soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—appeared around her, shining brightly.

While everyone was fixated on her soul rings, they didn't notice the subtle change in her martial soul to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Ning Rongrong deliberately refrained from revealing that her martial soul had evolved—it didn't seem right to show off too much.

"It's true!"

Oscar and the others stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.

They knew Ning Rongrong well. When she first joined Shrek Academy, her soul power was only slightly higher than Su Mo's, while most of the others had soul power levels much higher than hers.

But now?

Ning Rongrong, as a support-type soul master, had reached level 41, on par with Tang San.

Oscar, however, was the one who suffered the greatest blow. Everyone knew that support-type soul masters generally cultivated at a slower pace, yet Ning Rongrong, who was two years younger than him, had already surpassed him to become a Soul Elder.

And him? Despite being born with full innate soul power, he was still only at level 36—five whole levels behind Ning Rongrong.

Given another year, Oscar still wouldn't be able to catch up to Ning Rongrong.

This realization was a heavy blow to Oscar, who had always prided himself on his innate full soul power. How could he possibly accept this?

"Su Mo, what about you? Don't tell me you're really a Soul Elder too?"

Unwilling to give up, Dai Mubai turned to Su Mo for confirmation.

Buzz—

Su Mo didn't waste words. If he could deliver a blow to Dai Mubai and the others, he was more than happy to do so.

With a subtle surge of soul power, without even summoning his martial soul, a series of soul rings emerged from beneath Su Mo's feet.

Yellow, purple, purple, black!

When the fourth soul ring appeared, a black, ten-thousand-year ring, marking Su Mo as a true Soul Elder, Dai Mubai and the others were completely stunned.

"A black soul ring—it's even a ten-thousand-year ring!"

Seeing the black ring, Dai Mubai and the rest sank deeper into disbelief, questioning everything they thought they knew.

Even Tang San, staring at the rings around Su Mo, felt a wave of shock ripple through him.

To be honest, seeing Su Mo's current soul power level shook Tang San deeply.

Tang San had always believed he was working harder than anyone else. At 14 years old, through his relentless efforts, he had reached level 41. Yu Xiaogang had told him repeatedly that no one before him had ever achieved the rank of Soul Elder at such a young age.

He was supposed to be the youngest Soul Elder in history.

But now, seeing Ning Rongrong and Su Mo's levels, Tang San realized he wasn't alone. Both Ning Rongrong and Su Mo had achieved the same milestone at the same age.

And Ning Rongrong wouldn't lie—Su Mo's soul power level was definitely at 42, surpassing Tang San's 41.

When Tang San recalled that Su Mo had only been at level 25 when he left Shrek Academy and now stood at level 42, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming surge of disbelief.

"Hehe, Su Mo and I just got lucky," Ning Rongrong explained with a smile, trying to ease the tension. "After a fortunate encounter, we managed to reach our current levels. Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't be ahead of you all."

"Tang San's talent is still the most impressive! He cultivated to Soul Elder entirely on his own. I was shocked when I found out!"

Ning Rongrong, sensing the blow they had dealt to their old companions, decided to reveal the truth about her and Su Mo's rapid advancement.

"So it was a lucky encounter!"

"Even so, it's still incredible!"

Ma Hongjun and the others finally understood, though the revelation didn't completely ease their feelings.

Still, deep down, they couldn't help but feel bitter. Ning Rongrong and Su Mo had left Shrek Academy, and yet they had clearly thrived.

It was human nature to wish the best for old friends while secretly hoping they wouldn't surpass you by too much. Now, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong's brilliance left the others feeling uncomfortable.

Especially Dai Mubai. He had assumed Su Mo couldn't even break through to Soul Elder. He thought Su Mo had skipped the Soul Master Tournament due to insufficient strength.

But now, it was clear Su Mo wasn't lacking in strength at all. If anything, he could likely crush Dai Mubai in a fair fight without even relying on a martial soul fusion.

Though Dai Mubai hated to admit it, he knew Su Mo's combat talent was also exceptional. Combined with the terrifying quality of his soul rings, Dai Mubai had to concede—he was no match for Su Mo.
