Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 29: Confident Yu Xiaogang

Standing in front of the office window, looking down.

Seeing that the nobles and wealthy merchants who came to buy tickets for the spectacle had actually all arrived, the dean of the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"Dean, many people outside want to climb over the walls. We can hardly stop them. What should we do now?" Principal Su rushed over from somewhere, sweating profusely.

The Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy is, after all, a small institution. Faced with a large number of people from inside and outside Nuoding City who wanted to see Grandmaster make a fool of himself, Principal Su and others couldn't stop them at all.

These people heard that if Grandmaster's disciple lost, he would publicly announce that he was not worthy of the title of Grandmaster.

So on the day of the competition, they immediately rushed to the gate of the Nuoding Academy like locusts.

They strongly demanded that the academy let them in to watch the game.

Beforehand, they had heard that Grandmaster's disciple Tang San and another child named Su Yun were both Blue Silver Grass martial souls with full innate soul power!

A showdown between two Blue Silver Grass martial souls with full innate soul power that had never been seen before!

Coupled with the acknowledged bet by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! Such fun, who wouldn't come to watch it live?

Hearing Su Principal's words, the dean could only show a helpless expression on his face and turned to his old friend on the side. "Xiaogang, what do we do now?"

"I advised you not to make such a big deal out of it in the first place. Now, so many people have come."

"I heard that even Lord Xiao Chen, Xiao City Lord, has come to our academy."

The dean shook his head slightly and said, "You were too impulsive."

As a friend, the dean does care about Yu Xiaogang.

Otherwise, the dean wouldn't have allowed Yu Xiaogang to freeload in the academy for so many years, eating and drinking for free.

In the dean's eyes, the battle between the two children, both one-ring Soul Masters, and even with Blue Silver Grass as their martial soul, posed too many variables.

If Tang San accidentally lost the competition, then the already precarious reputation of Grandmaster in the Soul Master world would truly be shattered!

Therefore, he really couldn't understand why Yu Xiaogang would publicize the competition between his disciple Tang San and Su Yun in such a grand manner.

"No problem, just let them in." Yu Xiaogang's face showed a faint smile, and his smile carried a strong sense of confidence.

Let them in? Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, the first person to be shocked was not the dean, but Principal Su.

"Grandmaster, there are more than a thousand people outside. We can't stop them. If we let them all in, won't the academy be as crowded as a dumpling shop?"

"Xiaogang, are you sure of winning?" The dean's tone sounded somewhat serious as he looked straight at Yu Xiaogang and asked.

He was really worried for Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang responded with a smile, "Of course."

"In the past year, I have provided systematic guidance to my disciple Tang San, and his physical fitness far exceeds that of other children."

"And during the usual sparring, even some high-level students with beast martial souls are not his opponents."

"Defeating Su Yun, I think it shouldn't be difficult for him."

"Oh?"

Hearing that Tang San could defeat higher-level students with Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the dean's eyes clearly sparkled with a glimmer of light.

He looked at Principal Su beside him and asked, "Principal Su, is it true?"

Principal Su, who usually oversees the sparring assessments between students, heard the dean's question and immediately nodded, "Yes, Dean, Tang San's strength is indeed very strong. Both his agility and understanding of martial souls far exceed ordinary students."

Principal Su is also responsible for the sparring assessments among students. Hearing the dean's question, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Dean, Tang San's strength is indeed formidable, both in terms of physical agility and understanding of martial souls, surpassing ordinary students."

"Some students with higher soul power levels are sometimes even defeated by him with a single well-timed strike."

The dean nodded and asked again, "And what about Su Yun?"

He wanted to know about Su Yun's strength.

"Su Yun's strength is also good. In our usual sparring sessions, there are wins and losses," Principal Su replied.

"But..."

Interrupting himself, Principal Su paused for a moment, then continued, "He never uses soul skills in public. He only competes with others using weapons."

"Not using soul skills?" The dean was puzzled, then seemed to realize something and turned to look at Yu Xiaogang beside him.

Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly and said, "Yes, that child deliberately concealed his first soul skill due to the bet between him and me."

"But rest assured, his first soul skill is undoubtedly far inferior to Tang San's first soul skill."

"Tang San's first soul ring is a four-hundred-year-old Man-faced Demon Spider soul ring that I personally selected for him."

"You've probably seen the entangling soul skill that binds Principal Su. Principal Su should be well aware of the power of entangling soul skills."

Principal Su nodded.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass not only exhibited tough vines but also carried the venom of the Man-faced Demon Spider.

Once bound by his Blue Silver Grass, students of the same soul power level could only beg for mercy.

"The last time I led Su Yun to hunt for soul rings, it should have been Teacher Xiong. His martial soul is still a beast martial soul."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Talking about research on waste martial soul Blue Silver Grass, I think you should be aware."

"Not only in the academy but perhaps on the entire continent, there is no one who has done more than I have."

"I can assure you that the best first soul ring for Blue Silver Grass is the Man-faced Demon Spider soul ring."

"In my theory of martial soul simulation, I have mentioned that a plant martial soul can also be combined with an animal soul ring."

"And Su Yun, without my guidance, probably obtained only an ordinary plant soul ring for his hunt."

Yu Xiaogang concluded with a strong and confident tone, "Therefore, I can tell you that it is impossible for Su Yun to defeat Tang San in any aspect!"

Seeing his old friend, who had been depressed for many years, suddenly become so confident, as if he had returned to his prime, the dean's lingering frustration finally dissipated.

"Good, since you have such confidence in Tang San, then I can rest assured."

The dean looked at Principal Su and instructed, "Principal Su, do as the master says, let those people in."

Following the dean's order, Principal Su didn't stay long in the office and immediately left the room.

"Let's go, Xiaogang, let me see how outstanding your disciple really is."

Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly, and then the two of them left the office together, heading towards the academy's competition venue.

...

With Principal Su releasing the people, the initially relatively empty competition venue immediately became crowded.

Of course, Principal Su didn't let people in for free.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to the nobles who had previously entered the academy by buying tickets.

For each person entering, Principal Su charged twice the previous ticket price, making a substantial profit for the academy.

It took a full half an hour for the people entering the academy to find their seats under the arrangements of Principal Su and others.

And when the scene finally quieted down, the dean stood up, announcing to the people present that this year's year-end competition was officially beginning!
