Chapter 47: Tang San’s Breakdown: I Can’t Even Force Su Ming to Use His First Soul Skill!

"Su Ming, take this! First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Bind!"

Immediately, thick Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground, surging toward Su Ming.

"Rippled Flow Step!"

Su Ming effortlessly dodged the attack, using a footwork technique he signed in for just a few days ago. He evaded the Blue Silver Grass with ease.

"What?!"

Tang San was shocked that Su Ming could avoid his Blue Silver Bind, and even more stunned by Su Ming's superior evasion technique!

That footwork seemed to surpass his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. It didn't look fast, but there was a faint afterimage, and Su Ming dodged the Blue Silver Grass with pinpoint precision.

"Heh, Tang San, I can do your Blue Silver Bind too, though my version is a bit different. But essentially, it's the same thing. And I don't even need a soul skill to pull it off. Watch closely!"

Su Ming clasped his hands together. "Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Suddenly, a massive tree branch grew from Su Ming's right hand and coiled toward Tang San.

Tang San was once again shocked. He hadn't seen Su Ming's first soul ring activate, meaning Su Ming wasn't even using his first soul skill. It was a self-created soul skill!

Though astonished, Tang San wasn't too concerned—Su Ming's attack still couldn't catch him.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Tang San used his signature movement technique, easily dodging Su Ming's attack.

The two exchanged blows, back and forth. The onlookers were stunned—no one expected Su Ming to be so strong, even overwhelming Tang San!

After all, Tang San was two levels above Su Ming!

"Tang San, you might as well admit defeat. You can't do anything to me," Su Ming said calmly.

Tang San shook his head. "Maybe I can't take you down, but you can't beat me either. If this drags on, you'll run out of energy first. Don't forget, I'm two levels higher than you. My soul power is greater!"

Su Ming chuckled. "I'm not like you. Let's end this with my next move."

With that, Su Ming clasped his hands together again, shouting, "Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison Technique!"

Out of nowhere, four square pillars sprang up around Tang San, trapping him in a cage-like prison. This technique bore a striking resemblance to the Blue Silver Prison that Tang San would later develop.

Tang San was shocked once more—Su Ming had yet another self-created soul skill! And this one was fast! Before Tang San even realized it, he was trapped.

Su Ming smirked. "Well, what do you say? Ready to give up?"

As he spoke, Su Ming slowly clenched his right hand. The space inside the Four-Pillar Prison began to shrink, leaving Tang San with less and less room to move. If this continued, Tang San would soon be unable to budge.

Su Ming was deliberately pressuring him—either surrender or be crushed by the wooden prison!

Left with no choice, Tang San reluctantly admitted defeat. "I give up. You win."

Tang San's heart was heavy with disappointment. He couldn't believe that, despite being two levels higher, he couldn't even force Su Ming to use his first soul skill.

Though bitter, he had to admit that Su Ming was incredibly talented in creating soul skills. Su Ming's martial soul had only recently awakened, yet he already had so many self-created skills. It was terrifying!

As Su Ming dispelled the Four-Pillar Prison, he felt a slight regret. If only Tang San had resisted a bit longer—Su Ming had wanted to show him what real confinement felt like. Too bad!

The surrounding spectators were left speechless. Su Ming's strength was undeniable.

His self-created control skills had utterly outclassed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. Now, everyone wondered if even Xiao Wu could match him!

Su Ming's control techniques were too formidable. Xiao Wu might not even get close to him before being subdued. Although Xiao Wu had speed and strength, Su Ming's mysterious footwork made him nearly untouchable!

Meanwhile, the girls in the live broadcast had also seen Su Ming's Wood Release technique for the first time and were impressed. For now, Su Ming seemed unbeatable against anyone of his level. In fact, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Su Ming was invincible below level 20, especially since he was a control-type soul master. Fighting higher-level opponents wasn't a problem for him.

The girls were also curious—was Su Ming's so-called Wood Release limited to control skills? Could he have other, more aggressive techniques as well?

They didn't believe Su Ming's Wood Release was that simple. Hopefully, once his level increased, he would showcase even more powerful abilities!

Xiao Wu, seeing Su Ming's victory, excitedly ran over and hugged him, her face beaming with joy. "Big Brother, you're amazing! I knew you were much stronger than me!"

Su Ming smiled back. "I need to be stronger so I can protect you, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu blushed slightly and nodded.

As they were having their moment, the audience in the live chat couldn't take it anymore. It was one thing for them to flirt, but could they at least turn off the stream first? Feeding everyone this much PDA was unbearable!

Seeing Xiao Wu happily hugging Su Ming and calling him "big brother," Tang San felt a pang in his heart. He didn't understand what this feeling was, but it left him uncomfortable.

Quietly, he walked away. He had to meet his teacher to study more theory.

At the same time, he silently vowed to train even harder and perhaps create his own soul skills too.

When Tang San arrived at Yu Xiaogang's office, he recounted his battle with Su Ming, including Su Ming's self-created soul skills. He was curious to hear his teacher's thoughts.

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Xiaogang said, "Xiao San, I don't deny that Su Ming has a talent for creating soul skills. But remember, this is only at the current stage. It's unlikely he'll be able to create high-quality soul skills at every level."

"Xiao San, keep in mind that while creating your own soul skills is great, most of your focus should be on improving your soul power level. Your cultivation speed will definitely be faster than Su Ming's. Once you reach a higher level and acquire more soul rings, Su Ming won't stand a chance against you!"

"Don't be too impressed by a few self-created skills. Many powerful soul masters also create their own techniques, but they're often weaker than the soul skills granted by soul rings. That's why most of them shift their focus to increasing their strength. Only when they reach the level of a Titled Douluo do they start thinking about creating more personalized soul skills to enhance their power."

"So, your main task now is to focus on increasing your soul power and studying theory. Understood?"

Tang San nodded firmly. "Understood, teacher!"
