Chapter 10, One Punch, and the Master's Theory Collapses!
"What...what did I just see? Ling Chen actually severed Jiang Chao's martial spirit with a single sword strike?!"
"Is that a soul skill? But he only has level one soul power, he couldn't possibly be absorbing a soul ring!"
"I know! There must be something strange about his broken sword. Ling Chen cheated!"
"Impossible! His broken sword is just a piece of ordinary scrap metal! We were in the same work-study dormitory as him, we've all seen it, it's still rusted on..."
"But Jiang Chao's stick... it really is broken!"
……
No wonder everyone reacted so strongly! Who would have thought that this usually taciturn good-for-nothing would possess such strength! Could it be that the academy has recently started to popularize the "good-for-nothing" cultivation path?
First, Lin Mu severely injured a Great Soul Master with a slap, and now Ling Chen severed his opponent's Martial Soul with a single sword strike! What about Shi Tie, who is also considered a waste? Will he bring us a different kind of surprise?
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly began to look forward to the upcoming competition! So far, among the sixth-grade students, only Xiao Chenyu and Shi Tie have not yet stepped onto the arena!
On the high platform, Yu Xiaogang's face was a mixture of pale and ashen. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and then explained to Tang San and Xiao Wu in his somewhat hoarse voice:
"His move should be a... self-created power generation technique, or a mutation of the broken sword spirit that we don't know about. But this is ultimately just a special case, and it still cannot change the fundamental laws of soul master cultivation. Soul power level and spirit quality still play a decisive role."
However, his explanation sounded so weak and powerless at this moment.
Even Tang San couldn't help but frown slightly, looking thoughtful.
Is that really the case? Tang San couldn't help but start to doubt!
All methods in the world lead to the same goal. Since I can cultivate without relying on my martial spirit, why can't others?
As an "outsider" who had also transmigrated here, he could clearly sense that the young man in front of him was walking a different path to becoming stronger, a cultivation system far more powerful than the martial spirit cultivation system of this world!
Below the arena, Lin Mu watched with great interest the direction Ling Chen had left, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"The Immaculate Sword Body... the sharpness of Geng Metal... interesting." He muttered to himself, then closed his eyes again, as if the stunning sword strike that had amazed everyone was just a wisp of smoke.
"Next match!" The host teacher steadied himself and continued shouting, "Xiao Chenyu from Class 1, Grade 6, versus Shi Tie from Class 2, Grade 6!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the commotion caused by Ling Chen had subsided, another uproar erupted from the audience. This time, the uproar was tinged with anticipation and a desire to see a good show.
"Shi Tie? Is that the same guy as Ling Chen, a piece of trash with only level one soul power and a stone martial soul?"
"I heard he recently became the apprentice of Lin Mu, the gatekeeper. I wonder if he's another hidden master! To be honest, apart from myself, every one of you seems like a master pretending to be unassuming..."
"Haha, don't worry. The last match could be considered an accident, but this one is absolutely impossible! Boss Xiao is a level 15 Battle Soul Master, dealing with him will be a piece of cake!"
"That's right, this Shi Tie is a genuine piece of trash. I even beat him up with Boss Xiao the night before last, and he couldn't even put up a fight! Let's take a gamble and see how many moves it takes Boss Xiao to cripple him!"
"Ha ha……"
Surrounded by his underlings, Xiao Chenyu strode confidently onto the stage, a smug and arrogant grin on his face.
Ever since Lin Mu humiliated him in public on the back mountain last time, he had been holding back his anger, waiting to get back at him in front of everyone today! And Shi Tie was the perfect punching bag!
"Shi Tie, get the hell up here!" Xiao Chenyu shouted loudly to the crowd below the arena, showing no regard for the match at all!
Then, amidst countless gazes that were either mocking, sympathetic, or gloating, Shi Tie also stepped onto the arena.
He didn't release his martial spirit, but just stood there quietly, looking at Xiao Chenyu opposite him with a gloomy gaze!
"The competition begins!" the host announced without hesitation.
Xiao Chenyu, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer. Today, he was going to cripple Shi Tie in the most violent and humiliating way and vent his anger!
"First Soul Skill, Wolf Pounce!"
A white spirit ring lit up beneath his feet, and then he suddenly darted out, heading straight for Shi Tie!
He used all his strength in this attack, determined to cripple Shi Tie in one blow, so as to show off in front of so many people!
On the high platform, Yu Xiaogang, seemingly to ease the embarrassment of being slapped in the face by Ling Chen, once again analyzed the situation for Tang San and Xiao Wu behind him:
"Look, this student named Shi Tie, like the boy with the broken sword, has innate level one soul power, but his ceiling is clearly lower! Whether in terms of talent, martial soul quality, or soul power level, he is incomparable to this student named Xiao Chenyu! This competition shouldn't have another accident like the last one!"
Tang San nodded perfunctorily, but a faint purple light flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying to glean something from Shi Tie.
A strong person's intuition told him that this student named Shi Tie was definitely not simple!
He sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the other party, suggesting that their strength was likely no less than his own!
……
On the arena, facing Xiao Chenyu's fierce attack, Shi Tie remained standing still, showing no intention of dodging, letting the attack land on him!
As two wolf claw phantoms appeared on Shi Tie's body with a "whoosh," some of the timid first-year female students even covered their eyes!
However, the expected scene did not occur. Shi Tie remained calmly standing in the same spot, without moving an inch!
"This, how is this possible?!" Xiao Chenyu stared at the scene before him in horror. He simply couldn't believe that his full-force claw strike hadn't even left a scratch on the opponent. This was simply illogical!
"Still not enough! That's barely enough attack power; it's more like a tickle! You're truly useless!"
Shi Tie mocked Xiao Chenyu without any politeness, mimicking the tone Xiao Chenyu had used to treat him before.
"Since we're both trash, you'd better take one of my moves!"
Without any complicated steps or fancy movements, Shi Tie simply swung his arm, clenched his fist, and swung it straight at Xiao Chenyu!
But the moment he threw the punch, his entire aura suddenly changed!
Xiao Chenyu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and even breathing became difficult!
"Bang!"
The sound of fists colliding with flesh rang out, and what happened next made everyone present's pupils shrink and their scalps tingle!
Xiao Chenyu, who had been so aggressive, was sent flying backward by Shi Tie’s seemingly weak punch. He flew through the air in an arc and crashed heavily off the stage!
