There was a small incident during the rest period these past few days. One evening, Ma Hongjun returned from outside, beaten to a pulp, looking like a pig's head.
Although Yang Xiong didn't think much of Ma Hongjun, he still went with everyone to Soto City to teach that so-called Bu Le a lesson. After all, that person was truly too lewd, and beating him up was a good way to stretch their limbs.
On the sixth day of rest, Tang San gathered everyone in his room. Various Hidden Weapons were already laid out on the table.
After Tang San's introduction, these Hidden Weapons included the Silent Sleeve Arrow, Stomping Crossbow, Tight Back Low Head Crossbow, Sand-shooting Shadow, Flying Sky Divine Claw, Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and others.
Everyone was overjoyed upon seeing these Hidden Weapons. They had witnessed the power of these Hidden Weapons, especially the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which was very effective whether fighting Zhao Wuji or killing Soul Beasts.
Under Tang San's guidance, everyone quickly became familiar with how to use the Hidden Weapons and even equipped them directly.
Yang Xiong, on the other hand, played with the numerous Hidden Weapons. These were basically crossbow-type Hidden Weapons. Their craftsmanship was indeed very exquisite, and their power was also quite good. Especially the metal used to forge them was not simple, showing that Tang San had put a lot of thought into these Hidden Weapons.
After carefully observing and using them for a while, Yang Xiong put them all away.
Tang San asked with a hint of confusion, "Yang Xiong, aren't you satisfied with these Hidden Weapons? Why didn't you equip them on yourself right away?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Tang San, thank you very much. I really like these Hidden Weapons. Their attack power in all aspects is very good. However, equipping them is not very convenient for my body refining, so I'll put them away for now and use them later."
Tang San seemed to care a lot about everyone's attitude towards the Hidden Weapons and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Yang Xiong, you refine your body and take Medicinal Baths every day. These Hidden Weapons are indeed easily damaged by the effects of the poison. It's right to put them away."
...
The seven-day holiday quickly passed. Under the organization of Yu Xiaogang and Flander, the second round of training began. The training location was the Soto City Soul Duel Arena.
However, according to Yu Xiaogang's requirements, everyone needed to simultaneously obtain a single Silver Soul Duel Medal and a team Silver Soul Duel Medal.
A problem arose from this: a normal team registration was only for seven people, but now Shrek had eight people, so one person couldn't participate.
According to Yu Xiaogang, the entire team only had Tang San as a Control System Soul Master. Apart from Tang San, the other seven would take turns resting, and Tang San, the Control System Soul Master, would arrange the tactics.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but want to roll his eyes at Yu Xiaogang. From his appearance, it was clear he wanted to cultivate Tang San's position within the team.
However, Yang Xiong didn't care. Anyway, according to Yang Xiong's plan, he would definitely participate in one single Soul Duel and two double Soul Duels every day. The seven-person team Soul Duel was rather uninteresting.
Moreover, Yang Xiong didn't pay much attention to this so-called seven-person team battle. He cared more about his own improvement. Only in the Soul Master Competition would they have this kind of seven-person team battle. Once they reached the Soul King or even Soul Emperor level, where would there be so many people in a team battle? Ultimately, it was individual strength that mattered.
Yu Xiaogang seemed full of confidence, "Although the second round of training doesn't seem as strenuous, I require everyone to obtain the Silver Soul Duel Medal as quickly as possible, especially your team. This might be the most difficult part."
"Furthermore, for your safety, certain restrictions will be placed on you simultaneously. First, everyone must not reveal their true appearance and must wear masks and use codenames to participate in the competition. Second, no one is allowed to use Hidden Weapons. Third, I require you to participate in at least two Soul Duel Competitions every day."
Oscar was a little confused, "Master, Rong Rong and I are both Support System Soul Masters. It might not be that easy to obtain the Silver Soul Duel Medal."
Yu Xiaogang's face was calm, "That's also easy to handle. You can continue the first round of training until everyone obtains the Silver Soul Duel Medal. That will also count as completing your training."
Oscar and Ning Rongrong's faces immediately fell upon hearing this. It was clear they were a little afraid of the difficulty of the first round of training.
However, Oscar hooked his arm around Yang Xiong's shoulder, "Brother Xiong, I'll have to rely on you for this. I can only get points by participating in double matches and team matches."
Yang Xiong quickly pushed Oscar away, "Don't get so close to me. Don't worry about this. Helping you get the Silver Soul Duel Medal isn't that big of a problem."
"But you also have to work harder. Don't get eliminated in the first instance. You know, when I'm on the field with you, I'm fighting against two Soul Elders."
Just as Yang Xiong said, Yang Xiong didn't consider obtaining the Silver Soul Duel Medal as a difficulty.
According to the rules of the Soul Duel Arena, there are points for individual battles, and also individual points for double battles. Even in every seven-person team battle, in addition to a team point, there is also an individual point. Even a support can get points in double battles and team battles.
However, to obtain the Silver Soul Duel Medal as quickly as possible, one must participate in more competitions.
According to Yang Xiong's plan, participating in three to four Soul Duel Competitions every night was enough. Any more wouldn't be as beneficial. Of course, this included one team battle.
Dai Mubai immediately found Zhu Zhuqing, and the two formed the White Tiger Combination. However, they needed to face two Soul Elders, which was still too much pressure for Zhu Zhuqing, as she was only at level twenty-seven.
But Zhu Zhuqing was fearless and seemed to trust Dai Mubai more and more.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had long formed a two-person Soul Elder combination that no one could shake.
Ma Hongjun was quite miserable. It seemed he couldn't find a suitable two-person combination. Ning Rongrong clearly disliked him immensely. Zhu Zhuqing needed to participate in two-person battles against Soul Elders and team battles. With his strength, it was impossible for him to participate in three Soul Duel Competitions every day. The other four were all Soul Elders, making it difficult for them to team up with him, a Soul Greatmaster.
Finally, Ma Hongjun looked at Yang Xiong with pleading eyes: "Brother Xiong, how about we team up too? At most, we don't need to appear every day."
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "No problem, but if we team up, we have to participate in Soul Duel Competitions every day until this training ends."
Ma Hongjun was a little confused: "Brother Xiong, can you handle that? You know, if we do that, you'll have to participate in five Soul Duel Competitions every day, and even two Soul Elder level Soul Duel Competitions."
Yang Xiong grabbed Ma Hongjun's shoulder: "Little fatty, that's not something you need to worry about. It's just a Soul Greatmaster Soul Duel Competition. Just don't mess things up for me."
Soon, everyone started signing up. Yang Xiong signed up for four matches in one go, including one single Soul Duel Competition and three two-person Soul Duel Competitions. As for the seven-person team battle, their luck with the draw was very good, and Yang Xiong happened not to be participating today.
When everyone saw Yang Xiong's Bronze Soul Duel Medal, they were also surprised. Dai Mubai had participated in so many matches and was still only an Iron Soul Duel Medal holder. He had lost too many times when he first entered the Soul Elder realm, and at that time, no one in the academy could team up with him for two-person matches.
However, Yang Xiong was also surprised when he saw his opponent for the first Soul Duel Competition, because his first match was against Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai quickly walked towards Yang Xiong: "Brother, please go easy on her later. I'm begging you."
Yang Xiong smiled: "We're all classmates, I won't go too hard."
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes at Dai Mubai, clearly disagreeing with his words.
After the two walked onto the stage, Zhu Zhuqing appeared extremely serious and equally cold.
The usually indifferent Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke: "Yang Xiong, can you let me see your full strength?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Yang Xiong's face: "Are you sure? I might seriously injure you."
In fact, in the past three months, Yang Xiong had sparred with everyone, but every time, Yu Xiaogang basically arranged for multiple people to fight him, and it was especially impossible for him to arrange for Zhu Zhuqing to fight him alone. After all, the difference in combat power between the two was too great. This was the first time the two had fought alone.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "I'm very sure. We are the same age, and our soul power levels are almost the same. I want to know the real gap between us. Please use your full strength as much as possible."
Only then did Yang Xiong nod: "Okay, but I hope you won't be discouraged."
According to the rules of the Soul Duel Arena, the two revealed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, and the match began at the referee's command.
The two were extremely fast, rushing towards each other in an instant, like two black shadows on the stage.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare to underestimate Yang Xiong at all and directly used her Second Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws.
Zhu Zhuqing's body spun rapidly, and her claws seemed to become extremely sharp, like a Nether Cat. In an instant, she unleashed countless claw attacks, and they seemed to have extremely strong penetrating power.
But Yang Xiong's speed was not slower than hers at all, even faster. In just an instant, his hands became like silver sharp claws, directly grabbing onto the countless claw shadows attacking him.
With a burst of force from Yang Xiong, these countless shadows were instantly shattered.
Zhu Zhuqing reacted extremely quickly. Seeing Yang Xiong's pair of silver claws breaking through everything, she turned into a black shadow and tried to escape.
But Yang Xiong's speed increased again at this moment, much faster than Zhu Zhuqing's. He directly appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing and grabbed again.
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and quickly used her First Soul Skill: Nether Thrust. Her claws instantly extended, her speed doubled in an instant, and she directly grabbed towards Yang Xiong's chest, clearly trying to force Yang Xiong to retreat.
But Yang Xiong showed no fear. His claws instantly changed, as if drawing a circle, directly blocking Zhu Zhuqing's first soul skill head-on.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, she felt as if her entire body was completely weightless. Her hands were involuntarily deflected under the guidance of Yang Xiong's hands. This was precisely the Grasping Sparrow's Tail from Tai Chi Fist, a move that uses four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, capable of redirecting any attack from others.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, Yang Xiong's palms suddenly struck like lightning, hitting Zhu Zhuqing's claws head-on. Zhu Zhuqing was directly forced back.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, Yang Xiong directly closed in and threw a punch. No matter how fast Zhu Zhuqing reacted, she couldn't dodge at this moment and could only use her claws to block.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a sharp pain in her hands. Even though she gritted her teeth and wanted to continue fighting, Yang Xiong directly kicked her left shoulder with a whip kick. Especially since Yang Xiong's whip kick was full of strength, Zhu Zhuqing was directly kicked flying.
By the time she reacted again, her entire body had fallen heavily below the stage, and her hands were even trembling slightly.
The audience erupted in an uproar. This didn't look like a soul duel competition between soul masters of the same level; it was more like a one-sided crushing. Zhu Zhuqing had used two soul skills consecutively but was knocked off the stage without even blocking two of Yang Xiong's moves.
