Chapter 8: Challenging the Golden Duo of Tianshui Academy!
The group arrived at an open space, attracting many students.
"Yang Teng, my younger brother!"
Shui Yunxia spoke up.
"Bing'er is a control-type Soul Master, and I will arrange for her to be paired with a power-attack type Battle Soul Venerable. All you need to do is wait for an incense stick to burn!"
However, upon hearing this, Yang Teng merely raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"A powerful offensive Soul Master? Forget it, Dean, that would be too boring to fight like that."
Shui Yunxia was slightly taken aback, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of displeasure and understanding flashed in her eyes. She thought Yang Teng was nervous, and couldn't help but lower her opinion of him a few points.
"We can't just ask for a giant soul..."
Yang Teng interrupted Shui Yunxia and said to her with a smile.
"What I mean is, if we're going to fight, we should fight something difficult, something that requires the powerful offensive abilities of a Soul Master!"
Yang Teng scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on a blue-haired girl standing quite close to Shui Bing'er.
"This lady's name is Xue Wu, right? Can we spar?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, not only was Shui Yunxia stunned, but the woman in the blue dress who had greeted the woman surnamed Yuan at the door earlier, as well as several teachers from Tianshui Academy who were watching, all showed expressions of astonishment.
Yang Teng volunteered to fight two opponents, and the opponents were two Soul Masters!
Shui Bing'er is a level 43 control-type, and Xue Wu is also a Soul Master, second only to Shui Bing'er in strength. The two work together seamlessly, far exceeding the sum of their individual abilities.

Shui Yunxia never expected Yang Teng to make such a request.
The woman surnamed Yuan at the door subconsciously looked at Gu Yuena, who had been standing quietly to the side, with a suspicious look in her eyes, as if asking a question.
"Is your companion crazy? Or does he have some powerful trump card?"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes were calm and unwavering, and her beautiful face showed no sign of worry or surprise, as if Yang Teng had only made an ordinary suggestion.
She didn't even look at Yang Teng in the arena, but only lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow. That detached indifference made the woman surnamed Yuan even more unfathomable.
Shui Yunxia suppressed her shock and looked sharply at Yang Teng to confirm it again.
"Are you sure? You want to challenge both Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu at the same time? They are both Soul Masters, and they have excellent teamwork."
Yang Teng gave a respectful affirmation.
"I'm sure, this is the best way to showcase my abilities to all the teachers!"
Shui Yunxia gave Yang Teng a deep look, then glanced at Gu Yuena who remained expressionless, her mind racing.
Whether Yang Teng is arrogant or has real backing, he chose this opportunity himself, and he must bear the consequences.
Anyway, she had already given him a chance. Yang Teng chose the most difficult mode himself. Even if he lost, Gu Yuena wouldn't be unhappy about it!
"good!"
Shui Yunxia nodded decisively without further hesitation.
"Since you insist, then so be it. Bing'er, Xuewu, get ready."
"Yes, Dean."
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu responded in unison, saying that they were the aces of Tianshui Academy and had never been looked down upon like this!
Even Feng Xiaotian wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
……
The two sides stood facing each other in the open space. On one side, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu stood side by side. Both girls were outstanding in appearance, one with a cold and aloof temperament, and the other with a gentle yet firm temperament.
On the other side, there was only Yang Teng. He still looked relaxed and casual, but his hands were not in his pockets, and he had a roguish smile on his lips.
"Shui Bing'er, a level 43 Control-type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."
"Xue Wu, a level 42 offensive-type Soul Master, please enlighten me."
The two spoke at the same time, their voices clear and crisp.
As soon as they finished speaking, dazzling spirit rings rose from beneath their feet, each one a perfect combination of two yellow and two purple.
The teachers and students of Tianshui Academy who were watching couldn't help but hold their breath. The combined aura of the two Soul Masters was enough to put pressure on most of their peers.
Yang Teng looked at the two people opposite him, and his smile widened.
He paused, and then, a scene that instantly silenced the entire room unfolded.
The appearance of the first two purple spirit rings was already unbelievable to everyone.
But when the third one lit up, many people felt fear and had difficulty breathing. It was a black ten-thousand-year soul ring!
Purple, purple, black!
Three spirit rings slowly rotated around Yang Teng, with no sign of a fourth spirit ring.
This means that he is only a Soul Master.
"No...impossible!"
The teachers at the Water Conservancy College gasped in shock.
"Purple-black... Am I seeing things?"
"Soul Master? Ten thousand years, third ring? This..."
At this moment, Shui Yunxia, who had been calm and composed all along, completely lost her composure. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was filled with shock and disbelief.
With her Soul Saint perception, she clearly sensed that Yang Teng's soul power fluctuations had reached the Soul Master level, which is why she previously judged him to be a Soul Master.
But he only has three spirit rings! And the age of these spirit rings... is simply unheard of!
When has such a monster ever appeared on the mainland?
Even Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, who is hailed as the youngest Title Douluo in history, could never have such a soul ring configuration!
Yang Teng seemed quite satisfied with the crowd's reaction. He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Yang Teng, Martial Soul: Space-Time Divine Dragon, Level 37 Battle Soul Venerable! Please give me your guidance, sisters."
He pronounced "level 37" and "battle spirit master" with exceptional clarity.
Shui Bing'er quickly recovered from her initial shock.
As the team captain, her willpower is far stronger than that of her peers. No matter how amazing her soul ring configuration is, she is still a Soul Master. The difference in soul power level and the advantage in numbers are objective realities.
She and Xue Wu beside her exchanged a quick glance. They both saw the determination in each other's eyes. They had to go all out and could not afford to be careless!
"Freeze!"
Shui Bing'er launched the first attack. This move was extremely fast and precise, and it was the instantaneous control soul skill that had caused Tang San great trouble in the original work.
Yang Teng seemed unable to react, or rather, he had no intention of dodging at all, and was instantly sealed in a huge block of solid ice.
"A great opportunity! Ice spikes!"
With perfect teamwork, Xue Wu began gathering power the instant Shui Bing'er made her move. Twenty or thirty sharp ice spikes, accompanied by a chilling whistling sound, attacked Yang Teng.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
A series of impacts rang out as the ice spikes slammed into the solid ice, sending ice shards flying. For a moment, a light mist of ice dust filled the air, obscuring part of the view.
Xue Wu stared intently at it, then spoke with a hint of disdain.
"I thought it would be that powerful, but it turns out it's just the spirit rings that are intimidating."
"Bing'er, your ice-sealing technique is becoming more and more proficient. You can control it instantly, and he doesn't even have time to react."
However, Shui Bing'er's cool face showed no sign of relaxation; instead, her brows were furrowed.
Something's not right! It's going too smoothly! Her mental power keenly sensed a slight discord.
Almost as soon as Xue Wu finished speaking, a blue light flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes, and she activated her soul skill again without hesitation.
But the target wasn't the spot where Yang Teng was originally frozen, but Xue Wu's side!
"Freeze!"
But it was still too late.
"Hmm!"
Xue Wu let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward uncontrollably, heading straight for Shui Bing'er!
Shui Bing'er hurriedly tried to catch Xue Wu, but just as Xue Wu flew to within a meter of her, the space around them seemed to freeze instantly!
The invisible spatial force, like the strongest chains, imprisoned Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu in mid-air!
As the light mist dissipated, the solid ice that had been frozen over Yang Teng shattered completely with a "crack," leaving the area empty.
Meanwhile, Yang Teng had somehow appeared seven or eight meters away from the two of them, patting off non-existent ice shards from his body, his face still bearing that infuriatingly lazy smile.
"Time Lock".
He spoke softly, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
Shui Yunxia's pupils contracted slightly, and the way she looked at Yang Teng was completely different now.
"But it won't end that easily!"
