Initially, Ao Tian had planned to use a few tricks to ensure Wang Sheng's victory.
After all, he had no interest in getting involved in such a small affair, nor did he want Xiao Wu to.
Because Xiao Wu tended to get a little too close with her opponents during fights.
Since Tang San was so certain that Wang Sheng would lose, Ao Tian was amused, which was why he had exchanged a few words with Tang San.
Hearing Ao Tian's words, Tang San revealed a sliver of disdain at the corner of his mouth. Without his hidden weapons, Wang Sheng was undoubtedly going to lose. What did he have to win with?
Xiao Wu's expression was not good. She also felt that Wang Sheng was going to lose.
After all, Wang Sheng had been beaten so badly, while his opponent's momentum was growing stronger and stronger. This situation was impossible to reverse.
In the arena, Liu Long's face was full of contempt. Wang Sheng's strength was indeed greater than his, but it was just brute force, and he could only be toyed with.
"It's over," Ao Tian's eyes flashed coldly as he roared, "Kneel!"
With that, he swung his staff even more ferociously towards Wang Sheng's legs.
If that staff connected with Wang Sheng's legs, he would undoubtedly be forced to his knees.
He's lost, Tang San thought to himself.
However, at that moment, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Wang Sheng.
Liu Long's staff, which had struck Wang Sheng's leg, was actually knocked away.
"Roar!" Wang Sheng let out a deafening tiger roar, and faint stripes appeared on his skin, resembling tiger hide.
Wang Sheng was overjoyed. He felt a sudden surge of immense energy within him, coursing wildly and granting him incredible power.
If someone with strong mental power were here, they would definitely discover that the spiritual energy above Wang Sheng's head was incredibly dense, pouring in from above.
Wang Sheng constantly roared, the energy within his body increasing, giving him the feeling that he was about to burst. He just wanted to find a target to vent on.
What's going on? Everyone, except Ao Tian, was shocked.
Although they couldn't feel the massive spiritual energy entering Wang Sheng's body, they could feel his rapidly rising aura.
Tang San's eyes slowly widened, his expression gradually becoming blank. He had previously predicted that Wang Sheng would lose within five moves.
However, before five moves had passed, the situation had changed.
"Playing tricks!" Liu Long's staff was knocked away by Wang Sheng, and he immediately felt like he had lost face. This time, the staff in his hand slammed down towards Wang Sheng's head.
Wang Sheng ignored it, taking the blow head-on and successfully getting close to Liu Long.
For a Soul Master who uses a long weapon, the outcome is usually decided when a beast Martial Soul Soul Master gets close.
Wang Sheng slapped Liu Long across the face, sending him flying. He spun a few times in the air before landing, unconscious.
This…
Everyone was stunned, except Ao Tian. The situation had reversed so quickly. Wang Sheng had actually turned the tables with a single move.
"Who's next!" Wang Sheng roared at Boss Xiao, extremely excited.
Boss Xiao's expression darkened as he called another underling to the stage.
"Tang San, are you convinced?" Ao Tian said with a smile, looking at Tang San.
He felt no shame about cheating.
At his level, Ao Tian did whatever pleased him. He sought only freedom and ease.
As for fairness, that wasn't something he considered.
"How is that possible? He was clearly about to lose," Tang San muttered, his face a mask of disbelief.
He suddenly looked at Ao Tian and asked, "How did you know Wang Sheng would win?"
"Because your judgment isn't as good as mine."
Tang San felt a pang of discomfort, unable to respond.
He had just said those very words to Ao Tian moments ago, and now, they were thrown right back at him.
As they spoke, a scream erupted from the battlefield. Boss Xiao's underling, who had just entered the arena, was also knocked out by Wang Sheng with a single slap.
"Damn, what did Wang Sheng take today? He's so fierce."
Excited shouts erupted from the work-study students.
Tang San was in a foul mood, so he turned his gaze to Wang Sheng, wanting to figure out why Wang Sheng had suddenly become so strong.
A purple light flashed in his eyes, activating his Purple Demon Eye. Every movement Wang Sheng made seemed to slow down in Tang San's perception.
Meanwhile, Boss Xiao had already sent out a third person to fight, but Wang Sheng was still ferocious.
Wang Sheng felt as if he had truly transformed into a fierce tiger. The power within him was inexhaustible, and even when attacked, the pain was very faint.
This is… my soul power should have broken through to the tenth rank. As long as I absorb a soul ring, I can become a Soul Master. Wang Sheng was overjoyed.
His talent was ordinary. He had studied at Notting Academy for nearly six years, and his soul power had only reached the ninth rank.
He never expected that his soul power would break through to the tenth rank during a battle.
Not all students at Notting Academy would eventually become Soul Masters; very few managed to achieve that status after six years of study.
If Wang Sheng could break through and become a Soul Master before graduation, his future would undoubtedly be much brighter.
"Again!"
"Again!"
"…"
Everyone, except for Ao Tian, grew increasingly shocked, eventually becoming almost numb.
Wang Sheng had actually taken on the other side's ten people single-handedly and was still full of energy, without showing the slightest sign of weakness.
"How is this possible?" Tang San murmured, He had watched Wang Sheng's ten battles, but he couldn't figure out the reason for Wang Sheng's sudden strength.
Wang Sheng's fighting spirit surged, and he looked at Boss Xiao, laughing loudly, "Boss Xiao, it's your turn."
Xiao Chenyu walked out with a gloomy expression. Losing ten matches in a row, today was truly a disgrace.
Seeing this, Tang San spoke up, "Wang Sheng, Boss Xiao has already broken through to Soul Master. You're a whole realm behind him. You can't win. Let me do it."
He glanced at Ao Tian and Xiao Wu, and seeing that they didn't object, he continued, "I've also broken through to the Soul Master realm now."
Boss Xiao was startled, his gaze falling on Tang San.
He was unfamiliar with Tang San's appearance. He hadn't even noticed Tang San in the cafeteria the last time.
There was actually a Soul Master among the work-study students? How could this be possible?
Boss Xiao had studied at Notting Academy for six years and had never seen anyone among the work-study students successfully break through to the Soul Master realm.
Now that Tang San had broken through to become a Soul Master, Ao Tian immediately felt a bit of a headache.
I wonder what that kid's Martial Soul is? Boss Xiao thought to himself.
To the surprise of many, Wang Sheng actually shook his head, saying, "I can still fight."
After being bullied by Boss Xiao for so many years, Wang Sheng naturally didn't want to miss this chance to challenge him.
Even if he lost, he wouldn't regret it.
Boss Xiao retracted his gaze from Tang San and looked at Wang Sheng in front of him, a cruel smile on his face. "Wang Sheng, you've got guts."
"Wang Sheng, let me handle this. You don't have a Soul Ring, you can't beat him," Tang San said.
Xiao Wu also worriedly said, "Wang Sheng, you've done great. Leave the rest to us."
Wang Sheng's gaze remained stubborn.
"Let him come. He might not lose," Ao Tian said.
Tang San immediately wanted to object, but when he thought of Ao Tian's previous prophetic words, he fell silent.
