Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 195: Liu Ming: Su Yun, I must kill you!

The relationship between Martial Soul Hall and the rulers of the two great empires, as well as the seven major sects, was naturally very tense, with numerous hidden agendas and schemes.

But for most ordinary people, Martial Soul Hall was more attractive than the seven major sects and the empires in a sense.

As long as you had sufficient talent, the doors of Martial Soul Hall would open to you. They wouldn't reject you because you weren't nobility, nor would they exclude you because you lacked the bloodline of a family.

"Martial Soul Hall... Holy Son!"

In front of the gate of Godwind Academy, the crowd that had packed together like sardines finally boiled over like water that had just been brought to a boil.

"This young man is actually the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall?!"

"I've heard that the Pope of Martial Soul Hall once accepted a new disciple, but I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"No wonder he was able to defeat Liu Ming with just one move. His strength is probably at least at the Soul Emperor level, right?"

"Hmph, what do you know? Judging from the looks of it, the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall is at least at the level of a Soul King!"

"My goodness! A Soul King?!"

"How old is he anyway?"

In addition to the many ordinary people present, Zhang Peng and his son, who had been speculating about Su Yun's identity all along, finally learned the truth about the former's identity.

However, the truth about Su Yun's identity seemed a bit difficult for them to accept in the short term. The shocked expressions of the father and son could be said to be frozen on their faces like ice, and their mouths, big enough to fit a light bulb, only emphasized their astonishment!

They couldn't believe that the youth they had coincidentally met on the road turned out to be the second disciple personally accepted by the Pope of Martial Soul Hall.

As for Liu Ming, who was now standing behind his father Liu Xunfeng, seeing his father, who usually carried himself with dignity and seriousness, bowing to the young teenager in front of him was enough to shock him. Moreover, when the dean revealed Su Yun's identity, Liu Ming was so frightened that he fainted on the spot, collapsing to the ground like a dead dog.

Seeing Liu Ming's appearance, the people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Liu Xunfeng, upon hearing the sound, turned his head and saw the state of his son. His expression immediately turned ugly.

He, who had enjoyed fame and glory all his life, couldn't understand how he had raised such a useless son.

"Dean Feng, Lord Liu, there's no need for so much courtesy." Su Yun also bowed to the two.

Although Su Yun was from Martial Soul Hall, his status was there. Moreover, he was now a well-known young talent in the continent's soul master world, known for his incredibly fast cultivation speed.

However, what surprised him was that Su Yun, at such a young age, had already reached the level of a Soul King!

Was this kid really naturally talented, or did he use some kind of secret technique?

Feng Wuji had once thought that the talent of Feng Xiaotian, a student of the academy with full innate soul power, was already powerful enough. He had just crossed the age of twenty, and reaching the Soul Ancestor realm was just a step away.

He believed that by the time the Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament arrived, Feng Xiaotian would definitely enter the Soul Emperor realm and even go further!

However, when he saw the boundless Soul King-level soul power fluctuations emanating from Su Yun, he had to believe that there were other, even more powerful geniuses in the world.

"I wonder what brings the Holy Son Su to our Godwind Academy?" Feng Wuji smiled lightly. "If there's anything we can help with, feel free to ask."

Liu Xunfeng nodded in agreement, expressing his welcome to Su Yun.

Unlike many ordinary people, they had already learned about the news of the Chao family through other channels.

Nowadays, the Chao family not only lost its backbone—Chao Tianxing but also had its granddaughter taken to the Tian Dou Imperial City, where she would spend the next ten years as a slave.

The entire family's burden fell on one person, Chao Tianxing, who had to hand over nine-tenths of the family's profits to the royal family.

The reason for the Chao family's misfortune was simple: they had conspired with Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, to attack Su Yun, but the latter had escaped unscathed and disappeared without a trace.

Although Feng Wuji and Liu Xunfeng reasoned that these two big shots would definitely not be easily disposed of in the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yun's safe return still stirred their nerves!

You see, a Soul King, pursued by a Soul Douluo and a Titled Douluo, could return unharmed!

What did that mean?!

It meant that behind Su Yun, there were at least two Titled Douluos secretly protecting him!

Moreover, the soul power level of the two must be at least ninety-five or above!

Otherwise, how could he return unscathed from Tang Hao, who had once killed the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall?

Thinking of this, Liu Xunfeng and Feng Wujie couldn't help but feel that the strength of Martial Soul Hall was really terrifying. What made them even more fearful was the protection Martial Soul Hall provided to Su Yun!

Now that Su Yun had become the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall, they could imagine that if Su Yun did not die young, he would definitely become the next Pope of Martial Soul Hall in the future!

Regardless of how the relationship between the empire and Martial Soul Hall would develop in the future, at least for now, they absolutely could not provoke the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall standing before them.

"It's nothing major. I've recently felt a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I need to find some external force to stimulate myself. After thinking about it, I naturally thought of coming to you at the Five Elements Academy for help." Su Yun scratched his nose and said.

When the surrounding ordinary people and many soul masters heard Su Yun's words, disdainful looks involuntarily appeared on their faces.

He's only twelve years old and he's already cultivated to the Soul King realm, yet he says he's encountered a bottleneck?!

Then what about them, who are only soul masters, great soul masters, or even ordinary people who can't cultivate? Wouldn't they be looking for a tofu to kill themselves?

"Hehe, Holy Son Su is joking. With the strength of Martial Soul Hall, finding someone of equal strength to spar with should be a piece of cake, right?" Feng Wujie could tell at a glance that Su Yun wanted to improve his level through battle.

However, Feng Wujie was also puzzled. Obviously, Martial Soul Hall had the conditions to meet Su Yun's needs, so why did he come specifically to their Five Elements Academy?

Could it be to gather intelligence for the upcoming Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament?

"Those in the palace who take action against me will naturally hold back a bit. That's not what I want."

"Moreover, President Feng doesn't need to speculate that I'm here to gather intelligence. I have no intention of participating in the elite competition of the Soul Master Academy this time."

Feng Wuji was stunned when he heard this, just about to ask for the reason when he suddenly understood.

With Su Yun's current strength, joining any team would likely crush other academy students with overwhelming force, leaving no fun.

The competition between students, no matter how much is said, is just a graduation exam for them.

When it comes to wandering on the mainland, one's own strength is the most important.

"So, what does Prince Su want to do at our Godwind Academy?" Feng Wuji asked.

Su Yun twisted his wrist and smiled lightly, "I want to try how strong your Godwind Academy's team really is."

Liu Xunfeng was surprised to hear this.

Feng Wuji's expression also changed, his voice carrying a hint of doubt, "Does Holy son Su mean... you want to fight all the members of our Divine Wind Academy's team alone?"

"Exactly!"

Su Yun's answer once again raised the atmosphere in the entire venue that had already quieted down!

"What?! Prince Su wants to take on seven at once!"

"My god! One against seven?!"

"Humph, don't forget, it seems that among the Divine Wind Academy students, only the captain Feng Xiaotian is closest to level forty soul power. The others still have some distance to go."

"But Prince Su is already at the Spirit King realm now. Wanting to take on seven people alone is not impossible."

"That being said, this calculation is not as simple as adding one plus one."

"Even if all the students from the Divine Wind Academy are Soul Masters, there are still a total of twenty-one soul skills!"

"The seven of them work together as a whole!"

"But Prince Su is just one person, with only five soul skills. As they say, two fists can't beat four hands. I think Prince Su can at most tie with the Divine Wind Academy's team."

"I don't believe it. I think Prince Su can take on at least ten!"

...

The crowd below began to clamor again, each expressing their reasons, arguing with each other.

"Is Prince Su looking down on our Godwind Academy?" Feng Wuji narrowed his eyes, his long and narrow gaze falling on Su Yun's face, trying to see what the latter was thinking.

"President Feng, whether I look down on it or not, you'll find out after the fight." Su Yun bowed politely, "I can assure you that I will do my best, just hope that the students of your academy won't hold back."

"Good! Since it's Prince Su's request, our Academy naturally agrees!" Seeing Su Yun's determined gaze, Feng Wuji felt that such a genius would naturally not have too many thoughts. The former's desire to come for a test match was probably also to climb towards higher realms as a Soul Master.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Xunfeng spoke up, "Gentlemen, how about we hold the match at the Great Soul Fighting Arena in our Godwind City?"

"Shall I personally host this match?"

"Since Lord Liu has spoken, I'll just follow along. Let Lord Liu take charge." Su Yun bowed to Liu Xunfeng.

Seeing Su Yun's agreement, Liu Xunfeng immediately laughed, "Haha, I have to thank Prince Su for this opportunity."

"In that case, I'll prepare rooms for Prince Su. After your journey, take a few days to rest."

Su Yun could see Liu Xunfeng's intentions at a glance, but he didn't point it out, just nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing that Su Yun had no objections, Feng Wuji naturally agreed as well.

Immediately, led by Liu Xunfeng, Su Yun and Zhang Peng's father and son moved into the most luxurious hotel in Divine Wind City.

At the same time that night, the news of Su Yun, the Son of the Martial Soul Palace, competing with one of the Five Elements Academies, the Godwind Academy's team, spread like wildfire across the surrounding cities!

Almost by the next morning, everyone knew that the match between the two sides would take place at the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Godwind City!

For a while, everyone who received the news immediately flocked to Divine Wind City.

Even the audience in the surrounding Great Soul Fighting Arenas saw a sharp decrease in numbers these days.

However, the other Great Soul Fighting Arenas had no way to stop Godwind City's shameless behavior of "snatching people".

To say they would secretly trip them up, they didn't have the guts for that.

The name they used this time was the Son of the Martial Soul Palace versus the Godwind Academy, how could these local nobles who were used to being domineering have the courage and ability to manipulate these two sides?

In short, City Lord Liu Xunfeng made a big profit this time by seizing this opportunity.

Moreover, he also played the role of a scalper, not only selling tickets to scalpers but also demanding kickbacks from them, peeling off layer by layer.

However, even though the ticket prices were high, the speed at which tickets sold out exceeded Liu Xunfeng's imagination.

On the first day of ticket sales, the tickets for the match night were already sold out, a speed that had never been seen before in the history of the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Godwind City!

To repay Prince Su's help, Su Yun had been eating and drinking well in the hotel in Godwind City these days, along with Zhang Peng and his son, enjoying the highest level of treatment.

Many people knew about Zhang Peng and his son, secretly envying the luck of the father and son who happened to encounter the Son of the Martial Soul Palace to help them out.

To protect their lives, Zhang Peng and his son stayed in the hotel very sensibly these days, preventing themselves from being surrounded and interviewed by reporters from some newspapers when they went out.

The roads of Godwind City these days were bustling, with the flow of people almost reaching ten times that of usual days.

Especially the number of Soul Masters, it could almost be said to have skyrocketed.

Many people wanted to come and see how strong the Son of the Martial Soul Palace really was!

And to maintain order, in addition to the soldiers of Godwind City, the guards of the Martial Soul Palace in the City also came out one after another, jointly maintaining order.

After all, their prince was "traveling incognito", so naturally they had to give enough face.

Among the crowd, there was a figure wearing a hood, silently passing through the crowd while listening to the surrounding conversations.

"Tomorrow night, the match between Prince Su and the Godwind Academy is about to begin. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Who says they're not? I wonder who will win in the end."

"It's hard to say, but Prince Su's talent is undeniable, he is the most talented young person on the continent today!"

"But to have a soul power exceeding fifty levels at the age of twelve, it is said that even His Holiness, the current Pope, is not as good as him."

"..."

The praises for Su Yun kept pouring into the ears of the hooded figure. Under the veil that concealed their face, a fierce and murderous expression was hidden. It was the face of a young person.

"Su Yun, no matter how strong you are, I will definitely kill you and avenge my father!"
