Relying on his mastery of Soul Power, Ye Lan closed in on Tang San, who hadn't yet found his footing, in just two rounds.
Without hesitation, his right fist struck directly at Tang San's face. Tang San had no time to counter and could only cross his arms to defend his face.
Bang!
Tang San's arms collided with his face, which was painfully jolted backward, causing him to stagger repeatedly.
Once Tang San stabilized himself, he no longer underestimated Ye Lan.
A purple glow appeared in Tang San's eyes, a white light emerged in his hands, and his feet shifted with an eerie rhythm.
These were precisely the Mystic Jade Hand for hand training, the Purple Demon Eyes for eye training, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track for agility.
By the time Tang San activated his Mystic Heaven Skill, Ye Lan had already closed in on him again.
Tang San steadied his mind, unlike the previous round; this time, he had a chance to strike. He pressed his right hand, fingers together, and launched a direct palm strike at Ye Lan's chest.
Seeing Tang San's palm strike, Ye Lan responded with a direct punch from his right hand, meeting Tang San's Mystic Jade Hand! Their punch and palm collided, and Ye Lan felt the extreme hardness of the Mystic Jade Hand through his knuckles, as if it were made of jade.
Tang San had started blacksmithing before awakening his Martial Soul, and after several months of training, his strength was already excellent, only slightly inferior to a strength-based Battle Soul Master of the same level.
During their exchange of blows, Tang San felt that Ye Lan's strength seemed endless, with no apparent limit.
Their figures constantly shifted within the Seventh Dorm, and each shift was accompanied by the sound of their fists and palms striking.
Bang! Bang! Bang bang!
Tang San now realized that no matter how much strength he exerted, Ye Lan could always receive it.
Tang San's close-combat experience was not very strong; his close combat relied entirely on the grappling technique, Crane Controlling Dragon Capturing. When Tang San tried to guide Ye Lan to exert greater punching power, so he could use the force against him.
However, no matter how Ye Lan punched, he always held back a fraction of his strength, giving Tang San no opportunity to borrow his force.
The scene became an endless exchange of evasive maneuvers and strikes between the two, and as this continued to escalate, their speed became faster and faster.
Tang San's heart grew increasingly uneasy: although Ye Lan was a few years older, his Soul Power was three levels lower than his own, yet he still couldn't defeat Ye Lan.
Since Tang San began cultivating the Mystic Heaven Skill, this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable peer.
Just as Tang San was still pondering how to find Ye Lan's weakness, Ye Lan had already fully analyzed Tang San's strength.
Tang San relied on the Tang Sect's cultivation methods: Mystic Heaven Skill for generating internal energy, Purple Demon Eyes for discerning an opponent's moves, Mystic Jade Hand for increasing hand strength and defense, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track for continuous evasion, and Crane Controlling Dragon Capturing for excellent power generation techniques.
Ye Lan marveled inwardly, Tang San was indeed the protagonist of Douluo Continent, possessing such strength right after awakening his Martial Soul.
After three years of cultivation and complete mastery of the technique of combining Soul Power with his physical body, each of Ye Lan's attacks was equivalent to a Soul Skill.
Even though Ye Lan hadn't used his full strength, Tang San was still able to hold on for so long.
Ye Lan stopped probing and decided to use a little more force to end this challenge.
Just as Tang San continued to dodge to the side, intending to maintain the status quo.
Ye Lan ignored Tang San's movements and instead directly widened the distance between them, to about five meters.
Tang San watched Ye Lan warily, unsure of what Ye Lan intended by creating distance.
On the other side, Ye Lan applied seventy to eighty percent of his Soul Power to his legs, instantly bursting forward directly at Tang San.
Tang San used his Purple Demon Eyes to discern Ye Lan's moves. Although his striking speed was not as fast as Ye Lan's, he could still parry Ye Lan's attacks every time.
His Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track continuously disrupted Ye Lan's speed, preventing Ye Lan from utilizing his speed advantage.
Therefore, Ye Lan's strategy against Tang San's fighting style was to break skill with speed and skill with power.
Ye Lan created distance to increase his space for a sprinting burst.
The blue-haired figure took a few steps instantly, and in the blink of an eye, had sprinted in front of Tang San.
Leveraging his sprinting speed, Ye Lan used the momentum to deliver a powerful punch to Tang San's shoulder.
Although Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes saw through Ye Lan's move, Ye Lan's speed was simply too fast. Tang San had no time to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and could only raise his arms, using Mystic Jade Hand to defend against Ye Lan with both palms.
However, this time the force was not something Tang San could defend against; it was Ye Lan's full-power explosive punch.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Tang San flew straight out, overturning a nearby bed frame!
Ye Lan, however, was not worried about Tang San's injuries. After so many rounds of collisions, Ye Lan was very clear about Tang San's strength and defense. When he delivered the final punch, he held back some force.
Although he fought Tang San due to the influence of an unnamed anger, ultimately, Tang San was still just a 6-year-old child at this moment, and Ye Lan would not deliver a killing blow.
Secondly, Ye Lan did not want to test Tang Hao's moral bottom line. Ye Lan was unsure if Tang Hao would attack a child, and the original text didn't specify. But Tang Hao was famously known for retaliating against those who harmed his juniors, being an extremely protective person.
On the other hand, Tang San, lying on the bed frame, began to ponder about life.
Why am I so much weaker when we both have Blue Silver Grass? No, I haven't used my full strength yet! If I use Hidden Weapons, even just one move, it would decide the outcome.
Tang San's wrist involuntarily twitched, but then he felt relieved, thinking that Ye Lan was only a few years older than him, so it wasn't necessary for him to use Hidden Weapons.
Afterward, Tang San got up and asked Ye Lan, "Why are you so much stronger than me, even though we both have Blue Silver Grass?"
"I've just cultivated for a few more years, that's all. As long as you find your own path, anyone can become a Battle Soul Master, right?" Ye Lan scratched his head, giving Tang San a perfunctory answer.
Of course, Ye Lan wouldn't tell Tang San about the Extreme Soul Ring Attachment Method; this was his foundation in Douluo Continent with his initial Soul Power at level 3.
As for the Tang Sect's cultivation methods, Ye Lan completely looked down on them. After all, in his previous life on Blue Star, anyone who had read wuxia novels would hardly favor methods of sneak attacks, right?
"You're right! Teacher also said: There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Even with Blue Silver Grass, I can cultivate to be as strong as you!" Tang San spoke of Yu Xiaogang, his face full of reverence.
Ye Lan did not refute this or cause further trouble. He only thought to himself: If you weren't a twin Martial Soul user, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have thought much of you. As for that famous saying, Yu Xiaogang himself embodies the phrase 'useless Soul Master,' doesn't he?
Wang Sheng and the others in the Seventh Dorm gathered around, excitedly surrounding Ye Lan: "Ye Lan! You and Tang San are too strong! Tang San is already strong enough; he's a Innate full soul power Soul Master! We didn't expect you to be so hidden, defeating a Innate full soul power! You're actually the strongest in the Seventh Dorm. We originally thought you were the weakest here!"
"You're the boss of the Seventh Dorm from now on!"
"Yeah, yeah, from now on, our Seventh Dorm will rely on you, Ye Lan. We'll never be bullied by the older students again!"
Ye Lan shrugged, ignoring the expectant gazes of the Seventh Dorm residents: "I don't have any interest in being the boss. Give it to Tang San! His strength is strong enough to handle the older noble students for the Seventh Dorm, no problem."
Just as the Seventh Dorm residents were disappointed, a clear voice came from outside, "Is this the Seventh Dorm? I'm Xiao Wu!"
A pretty young girl, about the same age and height as Tang San, appeared in the sight of the Seventh Dorm residents.
Her small face was fair with a rosy blush, soft and tender. A scorpion braid hung behind her, and her clothes were clean and tidy. A pair of sparkling big eyes were very cute.
Wang Sheng and the others were mesmerized, their eyes fixed. Ye Lan was not surprised by Xiao Wu's appearance, but he did not want to provoke this mischievous rabbit Spirit.
Ye Lan looked at Tang San and found that Tang San seemed a little nervous at this moment.
Ye Lan patted Tang San's shoulder and said sincerely, "Tang San, you're the boss of the Seventh Dorm now. The Seventh Dorm is yours. I'm going to eat."
Then, Ye Lan left the dormitory amidst everyone's astonished reactions.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was somewhat curious about Ye Lan's departure and secretly thought, 'How could this dark blue-haired boy completely ignore such a cute me?'
Subsequently, Tang San and Xiao Wu fought, continuing the tradition of the Seventh Dorm's boss fights.
As expected, Tang San, unwilling to strike harshly, lost to Xiao Wu.
