Chapter 32: Pretending to be weak while actually being strong, the master's mentality explodes!
However, Tang Chuan remained standing still, his expression calm, his eyes slightly cold, without releasing any soul skills, seemingly not taking Tang San's entanglement seriously at all.
After all, none of you here are afraid of being entangled in blue silver!
"boom!"
Just as the Blue Silver Grass was about to wrap around Tang Chuan's waist, his figure suddenly swayed, and he lightly stepped on the ground. His whole body seemed to drift away like a gentle breeze, instantly deviating from Tang San's attack trajectory and just avoiding the attack of the Blue Silver Grass.
The movements were simple, clean, and efficient.
"How is this possible? How can my brother be so fast? Even Xiao Wu, who is an agility-based attacker, couldn't dodge my attack so easily!"
Tang San was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise.
The master standing to the side frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Tang Chuan, and blurted out, "How can a Soul Master with ten years of Soul Rings be so fast?"
Unbeknownst to them, after absorbing the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Chuan's speed, physique, vitality, and soul power had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
Tang Chuan remained expressionless, a faint smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
Although Tang Chuan had been hiding his strength, in the current situation, he could easily reveal even a little bit of it.
These people in front of him posed no threat whatsoever to Tang Chuan.
Even if the master sensed something amiss, so what? The master knew that Tang Chuan was Tang Hao's son. What could he do? Besides talking, what else could he dare to do?
Even if he is truly "exceptionally intelligent," and deduces that Tang Chuan may have absorbed a soul bone, or that the Blue Silver Grass may have mutated during its cultivation.
Huh?! What could he do? Kill him and take his bones? Stifle a genius? Would he dare? At most, he'd be filled with impotent rage, or perhaps put pressure on Tang San to force the latter to cultivate desperately!
As for Tang San, he was extremely loyal to his parents. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Even if he sensed something was wrong, he would never do anything out of line.
Moreover, Tang San had long noticed Tang Chuan's unusual behavior. After all, the two had lived together for so many years. But Tang San also had his own secret—the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques.
Even in several Soul Master team battles in the original work, when Tang San used the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, Dugu Yan, Ning Fengzhi, and others thought they were Soul Bone skills!
After all this time, Tang San still hasn't told his brother about the Tang Sect's secret techniques.
In the original story, Tang Hao also asked Tang San about the Tang Sect's secret techniques, and Tang San explained that he learned them from a book he found. If his older brother was also a transmigrator with his own secrets, wouldn't he be just like him?
If the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, or other forces were present, Tang Chuan would not be able to display anything inconsistent with his own strength.
He wants to conceal his talents, but he also needs to be mindful of the occasion.
Just like in the original novel, Tang San hid the Clear Sky Hammer in the early stages and did not use it, but he still used the Clear Sky Hammer when he encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider and when he fought Zhao Wuji.
As for why we had to hide our soul power before?
If he weren't hiding it, Tang Chuan's soul power level would already be close to level 30.
If word gets out from the academy that a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with only level one innate soul power has cultivated so quickly, the entire continent will be shaken!
Once the Spirit Hall learns of this, an investigation is inevitable.
Only a handful of people know about their private sparring matches!
Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes.
A slight smile played on his lips, a meaningful curve appearing as he whispered, "Mistress, your attack is too slow."
The next second, his figure suddenly burst forth, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Tang San.
"What?"
Before Tang San could react, Tang Chuan's fist had already pierced through the air and arrived!
The fist's force was like thunder, its power like a mountain collapsing!
Tang San's expression changed, and in the critical moment, he suddenly raised his hand, turning his palm into a shield, and met the attack head-on with a loud bang!
As their fists and palms collided, Tang San felt an incredible surge of brute force rushing through his arm bones. His tiger's mouth trembled violently, and he was almost knocked back several steps, his face turning pale.
"Such terrifying power, how... is this possible?!"
He stared at Tang Chuan in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
The power of this punch is definitely not something a Soul Master who has just broken through to level 10 should possess; it is even comparable to a power-attack type Soul Master around level 30!
At the critical moment, Tang San hurriedly circulated his soul power, and his palms glowed with a pale blue light, which was none other than the Xuan Yu Hand, one of the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques!
Hard as iron and jade, strong and earthquake-resistant.
With this move, he managed to barely regain his balance.
But the battle is far from over.
The moment Tang San steadied himself, the yellow ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, activating his first soul skill, Entanglement. Countless blue silver vines burst forth from the ground like living creatures, intertwining and entwining like dancing chains and snakes, heading straight for Tang Chuan's feet.
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
"Let's see where you hide this time!"
Tang San let out a low shout, and the Blue Silver Grass seemed to form a giant net, tightly sealing off Tang Chuan's lower body, with an aura that seemed to want to bind him into a dumpling.
However, at that moment, a strange, cold light flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes.
"Blue Silver Clone!" he uttered in a low voice.
The next instant, a white spirit ring around Tang Chuan's feet suddenly lit up, and with a flash of white light, his body trembled slightly.
Then--
From his body, another identical Tang Chuan slowly split off!
The transformation of this clone, without any warning or fluctuation of soul power, was like a reflection in a mirror stepping out of reality!
"How...how is this possible? This is a clone?"
When Tang San saw the figure that looked exactly like Tang Chuan split off from his body, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Xiao Wu, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief, "A clone?! Tang Chuan can actually create clones?"
"Master... what... what kind of soul skill is this?" Wang Sheng looked at the master beside him in astonishment.
The master's expression was extremely solemn as he slowly spoke, "This is not an ordinary illusion, nor a mirror projection... This is a real clone with flesh and blood! Even some powerful soul beasts might not be able to do this. What kind of soul beast possessed this soul skill?"
"To achieve this, a tremendous amount of vitality would be required. After all, without vitality, how could a living organism be created?"
While everyone was still in shock
Tang Chuan had already activated his mental power, controlling his clone to rush towards Tang San.
Tang San dared not be careless and immediately retrieved the Blue Silver Grass that was wrapping around Tang Chuan. Then, the Blue Silver Grass under Tang Chuan's feet changed direction and suddenly swept towards the clone!
"Entangle!" Tang San shouted in a low voice.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Chuan's clone was tightly bound by the Blue Silver Grass and could not move.
But at that very moment, Tang Chuan's true form moved!
Taking advantage of Tang San's focus on his clone, he suddenly stomped his foot and shot out like an arrow, his figure as fast as a ghost!
The next moment, Tang Chuan was already in front of Tang San, his right fist striking straight at his face without any mercy!
"Ghostly Shadows!" Upon seeing this, Tang San was horrified. Without thinking, he almost instinctively activated the Tang Sect's ultimate technique and let out a low shout.
The next second, he shifted his feet and barely dodged Tang Chuan's unstoppable punch.
boom!!
Tang Chuan's punch missed its mark, landing on the spot where Tang San had just stood. The hard ground cracked, leaving a fist-sized calf-deep imprint, and debris flew everywhere.
Tang San broke out in a cold sweat:
"It's too fast. His speed and strength are nothing like those of a Soul Master with ten-year Soul Rings."
At this moment, Tang San's first soul skill, Entanglement, had already bound Tang Chuan's clone, thus rendering it temporarily ineffective. His eyes began to grow cautious; he could no longer use his soul skills, and his soul power was constantly being depleted. The situation on the field seemed to be beginning to tilt.
But Tang Chuan didn't give him any chance to breathe!
"drink!"
With a soft shout, Tang Chuan lunged forward again, his fist flying like the wind, aiming straight for Tang San's chest.
Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, his mind racing, and a solution flashed through his mind:
"If I were to take this punch head-on, I would definitely be at a disadvantage. But as long as I use the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique to neutralize its force, I can take him down with a counterattack!"
The next second, Tang San activated his Xuan Yu Hand, his palm slightly rotating, concealing his inner energy.
Immediately afterwards, he was full of confidence, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his movements were as swift as the wind, accurately meeting Tang Chuan's incoming fist.
The two men's fists collided with a loud crash.
"Hmph, brother, you lost." Tang San suddenly revealed a cold smile.
"What?" Tang San hadn't even reacted when he felt his opponent's fist suddenly change, turning into a palm the instant they made contact.
The next instant.
"hiss--"
Suddenly, a blue-gold light burst forth from Tang Chuan's right palm, and countless vine-like blue silver grasses, like venomous snakes, swept out from his palm!
"This...this is?!" Tang San's eyes widened in shock. He tried to pull away, but it was too late.
The blue silver grass coiled around him at extremely tricky angles, almost instantly bypassing his joints, like a venomous snake coiling around his body, tightening inch by inch.
"Bang!"
Tang San's body was wrapped up like a dumpling, his hands and feet were all fixed in place, and he couldn't move. He fell heavily to the ground.
"The mistress!!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide as she watched the changes unfold, momentarily stunned.
The master's brows furrowed instantly, his face filled with barely concealed shock: "Didn't he already use a soul skill? How can he still use Entanglement?"
At this moment, the field was deathly silent.
"Tang San lost??" Wang Sheng and the others stared blankly at Tang Chuan, who stood upright in the center of the arena, calmly withdrawing his palm. Despite his white ten-year spirit ring, he now resembled a majestic war god, a sight that defied belief.
On the ground, Tang San stared in disbelief at the Blue Silver Grass that was wrapped around his limbs.
These blue-gold vines were more resilient and powerful than any plant he had ever seen, locking his joints like steel cables. Even when he used the Mysterious Heaven Skill to enhance his strength, he could not break free in the slightest.
He tried to use his soul power to break free, but the more he struggled, the tighter the grip became.
Even her breathing became rapid.
"How is this possible?!" Tang San was filled with doubt, panting heavily. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Chuan, saying, "Didn't you just use your soul skill? How can you still use Entanglement? You have two soul skills?"
Hearing this, Tang Chuan looked at Tang San with a disappointed expression, a cold smile appearing on his face, and said:
"You mistress, you've really disappointed me."
Did you see any sign that I was using a soul skill just now?
Upon hearing this, Tang San was taken aback. He recalled the brief exchange just now and his heart trembled.
"I told you long ago that the Blue Silver Grass spirit inherently possesses the ability to entangle. Blue Silver Grass has an innate instinct to grow, entangle, and control. Don't you think it's superfluous and redundant to add a spirit skill to achieve the entanglement effect?"
Tang Chuan nodded slightly and asked in a low voice.
Tang San was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Tang Chuan continued, "I didn't use any soul skills. This was just a normal attack I performed after infusing my soul power and life force into the Blue Silver Grass, utilizing its original binding attribute."
"This... but why is your Blue Silver Grass so resilient?" Tang San was dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and he was caught in an unprecedented cognitive shock.
"Logically speaking, even if Blue Silver Grass has a built-in binding ability, it shouldn't be this strong, right?"
"You want to know the reason?" Tang Chuan glanced at Tang San, then said calmly, "It's very simple. My first spirit ring is a life-type plant spirit beast with ninety-nine years of cultivation."
"This plant-type spirit beast not only has extremely vigorous vitality, but also possesses extremely strong regenerative and splitting abilities. Its spirit rings not only granted me the ability to create clones, but also greatly enhanced the original vitality of my martial spirit. Blue Silver Grass is a plant, and the stronger its vitality, the faster its growth rate and the stronger its resilience will be."
He paused here, then chuckled softly:
"It's not like what some people say, that you have to absorb animal spirit rings to enhance control. My Blue Silver Grass can entangle you tightly even without animal spirit rings."
On the sidelines, the many work-study students who had been watching with great interest were now dumbfounded.
"That's impossible! Tang San's spirit ring is a yellow, hundred-year spirit ring, how could he lose to Tang Chuan, who only has a ten-year spirit ring?"
"That's right, and wasn't Tang San's Blue Silver Grass personally instructed by Grandmaster? Logically speaking, it should be stronger than Tang Chuan's..."
"But didn't you see? Tang Chuan didn't even use any soul skills. His martial soul itself could bind Tang San and even create clones. It's simply outrageous."
"Could it be...could it really be that Tang San's cultivation path is flawed?"
"But didn't Tang San have a master guiding his cultivation? Could it be that the master was wrong?"
A murmur arose, and the crowd's eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Xiao Wu stared at Tang San, who was tightly bound by Blue Silver Grass, and was speechless for a moment. Just now she was laughing at Tang Chuan's low-level spirit rings, but now she was being slapped in the face by reality.
The master standing at the front, seeing everyone discussing him, had a face so dark it seemed like it could drip water. He stared intently at Tang Chuan, a hint of anger and embarrassment in his eyes.
"He... he actually won against the mistress with a ten-year spirit ring?"
"This...this can't be! He definitely cheated!"
The master was panting heavily, his fists slowly clenching. The next moment, he finally couldn't hold back his anger and walked angrily toward Tang Chuan, looking like he was there to demand an explanation.
