Chapter 55: Surrender, you sister! (Second update seeking support!)

  After a trip out, the newborn's mood, which had been suppressed before, was relieved, and everyone's mood for practice was boosted.

  In Hei Sen's class, more than a dozen students who were originally stuck at the ninth level of the Soul Master suddenly broke through half of them, plus the original three Soul Masters. Now, there are ten Soul Masters in Hei Sen's class. Yang Jun is still the strongest, only one step away from becoming a third-level Soul Master. This made Hei Sen's dark face hang with a disgusting smile every day.

  What made Zong Yin's teeth itch was that when he asked Hei Sen about wanting "Star Burst", Hei Sen said with a serious face that he couldn't open the back door, he had already said it before, as long as anyone in his class entered the top ten of the monthly test, he would reward him with "Star Burst" and the cultivation materials together. The most excessive thing was that he even emphasized again that he would only reward "Star Burst" to the first person who got into the top ten of the monthly test!

  Zong Yin had no choice but to hide in the corner and cultivate his soul power, striving to rank among the top ten before the monthly trial. After obtaining Shui Xin Ji, as long as his luck wasn't too bad, he would soon encounter some powerful opponents and entering the top forty to get seven points was absolutely no problem. If his luck was a bit better, encountering slightly weaker opponents along the way, it was also possible to kill into the top twenty. However, wanting to enter the top ten...

  Unless he was extremely lucky, the disciples behind him were all exhausted from fighting their previous opponents, otherwise it would be impossible. After all, even with Yang Jun's strength, he could at most kill his way to the top twenty. He thought that there was still a huge gap between himself and Yang Jun, and Zong Yin had some self-awareness of his own abilities.

  In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. During this month, Zong Yin's soul power level hadn't increased, and there were only 830 strands of soul power in his body. The feeling of being able to form only one strand of soul power every day made him feel somewhat unfulfilled. However, his combat strength had greatly improved.

  First of all, he made great progress in his soul power micro-control, and at this time, he was able to skillfully control the three soul blades to perform different actions, as if he had three invisible arms.

  Secondly, his shattered heart strike has been used quite skillfully, and when combined with the stone arm of Return to Ancestors, its power is even more astonishing.

  Then, after nourishing his soul with the power of the soul, he successfully upgraded again and became a green star soul technique. However, the change was not great, only the rock covering expanded a lot, his body below the neck and above the dantian was already wrapped up, as if wearing a rock armor. Although the speed under his feet also increased a bit, the growth of the rocks was more, and on the basis of weight, it slowed down some speed instead.

  In the midst of Zhong Hui's tense anticipation, the fourth monthly trial finally arrived. As expected by Zhong Hui, his combination of Fan Zu and Cui Xin Da made it difficult for many to withstand his three punches. Many people had their hands broken by a single punch and chose to give up. Even a pure defensive-type soul master was declared victorious after five minutes of crazy attacks from him.

  All the way to the top 40, when he saw his opponent in 40th place, his face turned very colorful. The one on the field was none other than the student who used the double blue star soul technique and stopped him at the top 40 in the previous round.

  This guy defeated Yang Jun in the previous match and entered the top ten, if Zong Yin can defeat him, it means he has a chance to advance to the top ten.

  "Where you fall down, get back up there! Come on! This time I won't lose!"

  Zong Yinman stood on the martial arts stage, let out a loud roar, raised his soul power shield, and activated his Ancestral Return, Shattered Heart Strike, and Qi Pulse Stone abilities. With the wind at his feet, he charged forward fearlessly towards his opponent.

  "You're overthinking this, I'll still beat you."

  He smiled slightly, and his arms also shone brightly, a blue heavy shield and long spear appearing in his hands as he said calmly.

  A deep, dark color swirled in the depths of his eyes, and the opponent's aura was clearly visible to him. Although he had already discovered his weakness, that heavy shield that almost completely covered his body was indeed a hindrance. If he couldn't break through the defense of the heavy shield, everything else would be in vain.

  With a blue and green intertwined soul technique pattern on his stone arm, he delivered a plain but powerful punch that heavily struck the center of the heavy shield.

  "Boom!" A dull thud, a strange wave of vibration, transmitted through the heavy gauntlets into his opponent's arm.

  At that moment, the muscles of his opponent's arm holding the shield were trembling, apparently having been at a disadvantage in this blow. The originally thrust-out long spear also paused, and the power of piercing into Zonghui's stone arm was much weaker.

  The blue soul technique pattern on his left arm flickered for a moment, the blue heavy shield suddenly disappeared, and his left arm was also constantly trembling and powerless to hang down.

  Fortunately, the opponent's strength was not weak either. The long gun in his right hand stabbed towards Zong Yin's head, and when he dodged, another horizontal sweep forced Zong Yin to retreat.

  "I said how did you suddenly have confidence, it turned out that you learned the shattered mind strike, indeed it's quite restraining me, unfortunately it's not just your strength that's improving."

  The opponent suddenly put down the long gun in his right hand, rushed towards Zong Yin with a row of white teeth, smiled, and pressed it on his damaged left arm. Another blue soul technique pattern flashed, and in an instant, his left arm recovered normally, and the blue heavy shield appeared in his hand again.

  "I'm going! Blue Star Soul Technique! Has the Blue Star Soul Technique really become a mere cabbage?! Over a thousand gold!"

  Zong Yin's eyes twitched, and he was speechless towards this person. His Soul Technique and Martial Soul Technique combination had already made him nearly invincible, yet unexpectedly, he now possessed another Healing Soul Technique! Moreover, all of them were from the Blue Star! Attack, defense, healing - a complete set! Zong Yin's heart immediately felt unbalanced; after all, obtaining a Blue Star soul technique required sacrificing two sealed techniques!

  The other party actually easily used three Blue Star Soul Techniques, and at the lowest price of 1,000 gold for each Blue Star Soul Technique, the three soul techniques in his hand were enough to buy White's life back then!

  "The Blue Star Healing Technique is already my limit, that Red Star Healing Technique, I've practiced it nearly a hundred times and still haven't succeeded, can only retreat and seek secondary options. Alright, time is limited, let you witness the power of my new battle tactic, specially researched for people like you."

  The opponent seemed to be still dissatisfied with Zong Yin's lack of energy, and with a helpless sigh, he placed his right hand on his left arm, raised the heavy shield and charged towards Zong Yin.

  Upon hearing his explanation, Zong Yin almost spat out a mouthful of blood! This guy still can't get the Red Star Healing Technique's soul technique to work on the Human Soul Stone. Otherwise, he would be one of the most luxurious soul techniques that Zong Yin has ever seen. However, three Blue Star soul techniques are enough for him to have something to be proud of.

  Seeing the opponent charging with a shield, Zong Yin's anger reached its peak, and he burst out with 120% of his strength, striking the opponent's shield with all his might! Since you have healing skills! Zong Yin wanted to see who would be faster, him destroying or you healing!

  "Boom!" Another dull thud, both men took a step back at the same time. Zong Yin only felt that this punch was like hitting a mountain, with a powerful backlash force, causing his arm and body to shake off a lot of rock, and several cracks appeared on his forearm.

  However, the injury that the opponent received from this punch was obviously much more severe than Zong Yin's. His left arm was splattered with countless blood lines and numerous cracks were densely packed, but the opponent only gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his right hand, he used his healing technique to restore his left arm to its original state without any delay. Just as Zong Yin was still catching his breath, the heavy shield came crashing towards his face with a whistling wind sound.

  Zong Yin only managed to hastily raise his stone arm to protect his chest, but the heavy shield had already struck him. This impact caused Zong Yin's entire rock armor to shatter all over the ground. His throat felt sweet and he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood that had risen up, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe internal injury.

  The opponent took advantage of the situation and didn't show mercy, clearly having undergone special training. With a slight retreat, he launched multiple consecutive attacks that struck Zhong Yin's stone arm, producing a series of loud cracking sounds. In an instant, the situation reversed, and Zhong Yin was pressed down, unable to lift his head.

  Zong Yin knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose. He gritted his teeth and completely disregarded the injury to his right arm, grabbing the edge of the heavy shield with one hand and pulling it open with all his might, revealing his opponent's shocked face. Three soul power knives simultaneously attacked from three directions, forming a circular shape and stabbing into his right arm's sleeve.

  The other side let out a mournful cry, and suddenly loosened his grip on his left arm. Zong Yin's three soul power blades almost severed his arm, with three bloody mouths continuously spewing blood. This time he wanted to use the healing technique, but could only use his left hand, after all, his right hand couldn't even touch his own arm.

  As expected, the right arm was injured, and the opponent immediately retreated. The heavy shield in his left hand disappeared, replaced by the soul technique pattern of the healing technique, apparently wanting to heal the injury on his right arm before continuing to fight with Zong Yin.

  Zong Yin wasn't a fool either, if he let such an opportunity slip by, he might as well surrender. The green soul technique pattern on his arm lit up brightly, and Zong Yin accelerated his speed to the maximum. Fortunately, most of the rocks around him had already been shattered by his opponent, which reduced his burden somewhat. With a loud roar, he swung his right arm, which was now broken and battered, at his opponent's handsome face, concentrating all his strength into this one punch.

  "I surrender!"

  Feeling the horror of this punch, his opponent, who had just activated his technique, realized he was already defeated. Rather than being blown away, it would be better to surrender with a bit of flair. As Sōgen raised his fist, he loudly shouted.

  "Surrender, you scoundrel! If I don't punch you, I won't feel relieved!"

  Zong's eyes widened, his mouth twisted in anger, and he cursed loudly. Without hesitation, a fierce punch landed on the other person's handsome face. As the opponent stared in shock, Zong's body flew through the air, spinning 360 degrees before elegantly falling into the crowd, where he fainted with half of his face swollen.

  Fortunately, Zong Yin was very rational at the last moment and resolved the Heartbreak Strike with his own strength, blasting the opponent away. Otherwise, even a Soul Master's brain wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from the Heartbreak Strike.
