Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle of fists and feet, Tang San's figure suddenly shifted. Countless Blue Silver Grass flew up from the ground, basically wrapping around Yang Xiong from all directions. This was Tang San's First Soul Skill: Entanglement.
Clearly, after fighting for so long, Tang San knew he probably couldn't win by relying on skill alone and began to use his soul skills to attack.
The onlookers, however, were a bit strange. Why hadn't Tang San used his soul skills after fighting Yang Xiong for so long? Was he holding back? Or did he have other plans?
Even though Yang Xiong's reaction speed was extremely fast, his feet seemed to be completely wrapped by the Blue Silver Grass in that instant. Especially since the Blue Silver Grass was like a venomous snake, its toughness had actually increased significantly, and it even possessed a very strong binding force.
Moreover, the Blue Silver Grass seemed to have grown some tentacle-like things that directly pricked Yang Xiong's skin. Unfortunately, they were blocked by Yang Xiong's entire body's Silver skin, unable to pierce through as if hitting Gold and iron.
Yang Xiong roared in anger, and the Silver aura on his body instantly erupted. His entire body exploded like a bomb, especially with the boundless Strength bursting forth from his body, directly shattering the Blue Silver Grass that had wrapped around him.
But unexpectedly, after the Blue Silver Grass that had wrapped around him was shattered, it seemed to release some kind of Poison, as if causing a momentary dizzying sensation.
Tang San was overjoyed and quickly attacked again. Clearly, in his eyes, Yang Xiong was probably poisoned this time.
But Tang San was clearly happy too soon. This little bit of Poison from the Blue Silver Grass had absolutely no effect on Yang Xiong. One must know that he had undergone Ice Fire Body Tempering.
The moment Tang San approached, Yang Xiong attacked unexpectedly, directly hitting Tang San heavily in the chest with a punch. Tang San was sent flying over ten meters, and a small pit about a meter wide was directly smashed into the ground.
After a few seconds, Tang San quickly climbed up from the ground, a trace of blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Tang San was a little confused: "Yang Xiong, my Blue Silver Grass is poisonous. I didn't expect you to not be poisoned. How is this possible?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "Sorry, Tang San, I've been tempering my body since I was young and have experienced all sorts of toxins. This little bit of Poison from the Blue Silver Grass still can't do anything to me."
Tang San suddenly smiled: "Yang Xiong, your combat power is even stronger than I imagined, especially your physical fitness. I admit I'm not as good as you in this regard, but unfortunately, you also miscalculated a bit."
Yang Xiong was a little confused when suddenly, in that instant, he felt soul power fluctuations all around him. Countless Blue Silver Grass quickly grew around his body, instantly wrapping his entire body.
This was Tang San's Second Soul Skill: Parasitism. Tang San's First Soul Skill just now wasn't meant to defeat him; it was more about releasing parasitic spores. He had waited this long to activate it, clearly wanting to defeat Yang Xiong in one go.
Countless Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around Yang Xiong. His entire body was like being in an ocean of Blue Silver Grass, and even all the Blue Silver Grass grew sharp thorns, as if trying to pierce Yang Xiong's skin.
Especially since Tang San himself increased the input of soul power, the Blue Silver Grass was dense, like a giant sphere.
Tang San smiled: "Yang Xiong, you've been wrapped by my Blue Silver Grass. Just admit defeat."
But in that instant, Yang Xiong's entire figure directly disappeared from the Blue Silver Grass, instantly appearing in front of Tang San, and directly struck Tang San with a full-force punch.
Even though Tang San reacted extremely quickly and used Mystic Jade Hand to block Yang Xiong's attack, Yang Xiong's strike had immense Strength, sending Tang San flying again.
Yang Xiong looked at Tang San, who had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Tang San, the reason you haven't been using soul skills to attack me is because you know I have the ability to Teleport, right? If you had kept wearing me down with your body and combat skills, I wouldn't have injured you so easily. Unfortunately, you used two soul skills consecutively, consuming too much soul power and stamina. Your body can't keep up with my Speed."
Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "That's right, it's precisely because I knew you could Teleport that I didn't use soul skills. I didn't expect that even when I released spores to trap your entire body, you could still Teleport out in this situation. It seems I miscalculated."
"However, what I didn't expect even more is that your skin and defense are even stronger than I imagined. I originally wanted to use the Blue Silver Grass to pierce your skin. Even if your defense is strong, the Poison of the Blue Silver Grass could still consume your soul power."
Yang Xiong smiled: "I remember telling you that I can be a power attack type and agility attack type Soul Master, and also a defense type Soul Master. For a defense type Soul Master, this little bit of Poison can't do anything to me."
"Now that you've used two soul skills consecutively, I'm afraid the remaining soul power on you isn't much."
A hint of determination appeared on Tang San's face: "Although my soul power consumption is much more than yours, don't forget I still have my Third Soul Skill."
Just as he spoke, Tang San's Third Soul Ring flashed. Countless Blue Silver Grass instantly appeared within a radius of tens of meters, covering roughly the entire area of the Soul Duel Arena stage. Even he himself was within the attack range of the Blue Silver Grass.
This was Tang San's Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Hurricane Array.
Tang San's meaning was clear. He was clearly trying to use up all his soul power to decide the outcome in one move. If Yang Xiong teleported out of this range, it would be equivalent to teleporting off the stage, which would mean admitting defeat.
Countless Blue Silver Grass attacked Yang Xiong. The speed of the Blue Silver Grass was much faster than before, especially the tips of each blade, which appeared extremely sharp, like the forelegs of a Hurricane Mantis, resembling sickles.
Especially around Tang San, there was even more Blue Silver Grass, all in an attacking posture.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth. His entire body instantly turned silver, even his skin and muscles. He continuously threw punches at the incoming Blue Silver Grass.
Countless Blue Silver Grass were shattered by Yang Xiong, but more Blue Silver Grass surged forward. Clearly, this move was even more powerful than Yang Xiong had imagined. There were even faint bloodstains on his silver fists. The Hurricane Mantis indeed made the Blue Silver Grass extremely sharp.
This Third Soul Skill of the Blue Silver Grass was truly powerful in attack. One had to know that Dai Mubai had simultaneously used both the White Tiger Body Shield and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, yet he still couldn't block Tang San's attack.
But at this instant, Yang Xiong's figure suddenly vanished, and he appeared right in front of Tang San.
However, Tang San seemed to have been prepared. All the Blue Silver Grass around him quickly attacked, and there was even a tearing sound in the air.
But Yang Xiong was not afraid at all. This time, he didn't use his fierce fists. Countless soul power instantly condensed in his hands, forming a blue sphere. It was the Rasengan.
However, compared to previous uses of the Rasengan, this one was relatively large. If previous Rasengans were small spheres about fifteen centimeters in diameter, this one was the size of a basketball.
The Rasengan and the Blue Silver Hurricane Array immediately collided. Countless Blue Silver Grass were instantly shattered. Even though Tang San desperately resisted with his Mystic Jade Hand, even the Mystic Jade Hand was shattered. Tang San himself was heavily struck by Yang Xiong's Rasengan and directly fell to the ground, spitting blood.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass, which had been under control, gradually disappeared, as Tang San, the user of the soul skill, was injured and almost fainted.
Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu quickly rushed to Tang San's side, especially Yu Xiaogang, who had a hint of anger on his face.
"Yang Xiong, why did you use such a heavy hand when sparring with a classmate?"
Yang Xiong glanced at Yu Xiaogang: "Master, I held back at the end just now, otherwise Tang San wouldn't have only suffered these injuries."
Yu Xiaogang seemed a bit unwilling: "Did you forget that Tang San still has an External Soul Bone he hasn't used? Otherwise, you wouldn't have injured him so easily, nor would you have won against him so easily."
Yang Xiong said: "Master, I advise you not to say such things. Tang San's External Soul Bone hasn't fully fused yet. Using it rashly might attract the covetousness of others, and then it would truly be dangerous. You should know the value of an External Soul Bone."
Before Yu Xiaogang could say anything more, Tang San had already gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Teacher, there's no need to say anymore. I lost this time, Yang Xiong. Although I lost to you this time, I definitely won't lose so easily next time."
Yang Xiong said: "I look forward to fighting you again. Actually, with your strength, if you hadn't completely exhausted your soul power, you should have been able to block my last move just now."
Tang San seemed to think of something: "So you've been wearing me down, not using any Self-Created Soul Skills from beginning to end, and only using this move after I used my Third Soul Skill, just to see if I could take this move at my peak?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "In terms of combat technique, you are clearly stronger than me, especially with your various Self-Created Soul Skills. It wouldn't be difficult to block my move. If you hadn't used your soul skill rashly, we would have just kept wearing each other down, and the outcome would have been hard to predict. But once you used your soul skill, even if you were one major realm higher than me, your soul power consumption would be much greater than mine."
Tang San then gave a wry smile: "I understand. So you calculated from the start that my soul power would be insufficient, which is why you only fought me with your body."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "That's not the case. In terms of attack methods, I am still ultimately inferior to you. Fighting with my body is my combat ability, while you, besides your Self-Created Soul Skills, are probably more familiar with Blue Silver Grass combat."
"Furthermore, the gap in soul power between us is ultimately unbridgeable, and the differences between soul skills are not small. No matter what method you use, you will ultimately fall into my combat rhythm, especially since your Blue Silver Grass cannot break through my defense."
Although Tang San's face showed unwillingness, the outcome of the battle was already a loss, and he didn't argue any further.
After Yang Xiong returned to the team, Yu Xiaogang quickly asked Tang San: "Xiao San, how are your injuries? Are they serious? I'll take you to get treated first."
Tang San shook his head: "Teacher, I'm fine. Yang Xiong should have held back on his last move, otherwise I wouldn't have only injured my hands. Although I look quite disheveled, I'm not seriously injured."
After some rest and recovery, Tang San returned to the team.
Everyone looked at Yang Xiong, who seemed completely unfazed, with strange expressions.
After such an intense battle, and even being knocked down several times by Tang San during the process, he didn't seem injured at all, nor did he seem to have consumed too much soul power. It felt as if the battle just now was nothing to Yang Xiong.
Especially Yang Xiong's exaggerated combat power, it was simply a bit terrifying. One had to know that Tang San had defeated Dai Mubai and was definitely among the strongest Soul Elders.
Dai Mubai's face was extremely solemn. He knew Tang San's combat power better than anyone else, but Yang Xiong had defeated Tang San so easily. Didn't that mean Yang Xiong's combat power was far above his own? One had to know that he was level thirty-seven, a full ten levels higher than Yang Xiong.
Even more exaggerated was that Yang Xiong hadn't released a single soul skill from beginning to end. So what kind of powerful strength would he have if he released his soul skills?
