Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Tang San wasn't angry; he just looked at him.

"So what if you're a Great Soul Master? Let's have a fight if you dare."

The young soul master sized him up, completely disregarding his words, and simply said:

"I, Qian Lin, do not fight against nobodies."

Tang San took another half step forward, his expression calm as he said:

"I am seven years old this year, and my soul power is the same as yours, also level twenty-one."

There was a moment of silence in the hall after these words were spoken.

The young soul master paused, his expression shifting from casual to an indescribable awkwardness.

"You're seven years old, and your soul power is only level twenty-one? If you have that kind of strength, why wouldn't you participate in the Heavenly Selection Ceremony? Who are you trying to fool?"

The people around nodded subconsciously. Seven years old, level twenty-one. If someone really has such talent, it would be unreasonable for them not to participate in the Chosen One Ceremony.

Ma Hongjun turned his head to the side and lowered his voice to Oscar:

"You were born with full soul power, and you're two years older than him, yet you don't reach this level..."

Oscar patted him, signaling him to be quiet.

At this moment, Su Yuntao stepped forward and calmly took over the conversation:

"He's right, he is indeed only seven years old this year, and his level 21 soul power is undeniable. As for why he didn't participate in the Heavenly Selection Ceremony..."

He glanced at the master, then at Tang San:

"Some people's path was never meant to be in the ring, which is not surprising. But I want to remind you that you have indeed proven your strength by fighting your way out of the preliminaries, but don't think that winning the preliminaries is anything special. There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. I hope you will always keep that in mind."

As he spoke, Tang San had already walked to a relatively open area on one side of the hall.

After Su Yuntao finished speaking, Tang San turned around and looked at the young Soul Master named Qian Lin:

"Can we have the competition now?"

Qian Lin sat silently for a moment, then finally stood up and walked to stand opposite Tang San.

The two were about seven or eight steps apart, and the others in the hall automatically stepped back to make way for them.

Qian Lin made the first move. He acquired his martial soul, exerted force with his feet, and pounced on Tang San like a shadow.

His spirit rings lit up, and his first spirit skill was activated. The iron rod in his hand suddenly extended a section the moment he swung it out, and the tip of the rod smashed into Tang San's shoulder with great force.

Tang San didn't take the blow head-on. Instead, he sidestepped the staff and flipped his right hand. Blue Silver Grass emerged from his palm, and his first soul skill, Entanglement, was activated. The Blue Silver Grass silently wrapped around Qian Lin's ankle along the ground.

Qian Lin's combat ability was quite good. He jumped aside to dodge the Blue Silver Grass, swung his iron rod horizontally, and a layer of pale yellow soul power light flashed on the rod. He activated his second soul skill, Iron Wall Sweep, which shattered all the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.

But as soon as he regained his footing, Tang San's second wave of Blue Silver Grass swept up from the side, still wrapping around his landing spot, and moving even faster than before.

After jumping away twice, Qian Lin had retreated to the edge of the hall. Although his iron rod was powerful and heavy, he could not find a suitable rhythm to deal with this kind of control-type fighting style that constantly blocked his footing.

He gritted his teeth, his second spirit ring lit up again, and he swept the iron rod, shattering the surrounding blue silver grass once more.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, he raised his staff and pressed down on Tang San from the front, intending to capture the leader of the group and take down Tang San directly.

Facing the aggressive Qian Lin, Tang San did not retreat. He released Blue Silver Grass from his palms in succession, and several strands of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Qian Lin's wrists, ankles and waist from different directions at the same time.

Qian Lin swept away the Blue Silver Grass in front of him with his iron rod, but the Blue Silver Grass on the sides and below had already stuck to his body.

The second soul skill, Parasite, was quietly activated.

The blue silver grass that seemed to be just sticking to his body suddenly tightened the moment he swung his stick, spreading rapidly from the point of contact and wrapping around his wrist and forearm.

Qian Lin's movements faltered noticeably at that moment. The iron rod was pulled off course by the Blue Silver Grass halfway through its swing, causing him to lose his balance and stagger forward two steps.

Tang San had no intention of simply letting the other party go.

Taking advantage of his weakness, the Blue Silver Grass Entanglement was fully activated, and in just a moment, Qian Lin was completely enveloped by the Blue Silver Grass.

Qian Lin struggled a few times, but the Blue Silver Grass remained motionless.

He looked down at the tightly wrapped Blue Silver Grass covering his body, then looked up at Tang San, and remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"How did you do that? I clearly snapped the Blue Silver Grass on my body just now, how did it get entangled again?"

Tang San stood a few steps away, speaking calmly:

"That was my second soul skill, Parasite. Soul skills don't exist in isolation; they can complement each other. Although you destroyed my first soul skill, those broken Blue Silver Grass pieces also became the source for me to activate my second soul skill, Parasite."

Qian Lin remained silent for a long while, replaying the entire exchange in his mind. Then, he withdrew his martial spirit and said frankly, "I lost!"

Seeing this, Tang San also withdrew his Blue Silver Grass and walked back to stand beside Grandmaster.

Qian Lin stood still, glanced at Tang San, then turned to look in the direction of Grandmaster. He remained silent for a moment before speaking again, his tone much more serious than before:

"I was rude just now, Master. I apologize. Your students are indeed very capable."

Then he turned to Tang San:

"Tang San, how did you manage to coordinate your soul skills? Those two moves you made just now were connected so quickly, I didn't even have time to react."

Tang San glanced at the master, then replied:

"These are all things my teacher taught me, not my own abilities."

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards the master completely changed.

If they could learn Tang San's methods, wouldn't they gain several times more strength out of thin air?

The master glanced at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Qian Lin:

"Can you listen to me properly now?"

Qian Lin nodded repeatedly:

"Great! Master, are you going to teach us how to combine soul skills?"

The master shook his head:

"Your most important task next is to face the Heaven Dou Imperial City's promotion tournament. Now, I'll explain the rules and precautions for the promotion tournament to you. As for the soul skill combinations, you can ask me about that in private later."

After that, no one interrupted the master's speech.

The hall fell silent instantly, with only the master's unhurried voice and the rustling of turning pages interspersed among them.

The master explained the rules of the qualifying rounds from beginning to end, from the schedule to the venue division, from the judges' criteria to the contestants' waiting process, explaining everything clearly and specifically.

He paused after he finished speaking, his gaze sweeping over the crowd:

"Both the qualifying rounds and the finals are one-on-one elimination matches. There is no second chance. What you need to do is not to defeat all your opponents, but to defeat the one in front of you. Before the match begins, the first thing you need to do is observe. Observe your opponent's martial soul type, observe your opponent's soul ring ratio, and observe your opponent's first reaction under pressure. This information is more useful than practicing ten more moves."

He finished speaking and closed the booklet:

That's all for today. If you have any questions, you can ask me separately on the way tomorrow.
