Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Wood Release: Total Binding Technique, Su Ming’s True Power

The three girls and the other female protagonists watching the livestream were stunned by Su Ming's wood dragon. Is this Su Ming's trump card? It's so cool! Even Tang San watched the wood dragon with a serious expression, wondering if it was a soul skill or a self-created ability.

After all, Su Ming had activated all four of his soul rings earlier. Tang San knew that the first ring was for defense, and the fourth for support, but he still didn't know the second and third soul skills. This wood dragon must be his third soul skill, Tang San thought. He couldn't believe Su Ming had such talent to create something like a lifelike wood dragon from scratch.

Zhao Wuji was equally astonished. "Kid, which soul skill is this wood dragon?"

Su Ming calmly replied, "Third soul skill."

Tang San nodded, confirming his suspicions.

Meanwhile, the female protagonists struggled to hold in their laughter. Is it really okay to deceive others like this? They knew very well that this wood dragon was a self-created skill, not his third soul skill.

Zhao Wuji asked curiously, "Then, what kind of soul beast did you hunt to get this soul ring? A dragon-type?"

Su Ming smiled wryly, "Teacher Zhao, I haven't even enrolled yet. Isn't it a bit too much to ask such detailed questions?"

Of course, the wood dragon wasn't actually his third soul skill, so Su Ming had no clue what kind of beast to claim. He figured he'd just make something up when people asked later.

Zhao Wuji felt a little embarrassed but brushed it off. "Alright then, let me see what you're truly capable of!"

Su Ming nodded and commanded, "Wood Dragon, attack! Bind Teacher Zhao!"

Upon receiving the order, the wood dragon swiftly launched itself at Zhao Wuji.

This wood dragon had drained half of Su Ming's soul power to summon, and he had only managed it thanks to the simultaneous activation of four soul skills and Ning Rongrong's three soul enhancements. Its power and speed were formidable, on par with a Soul Emperor.

Zhao Wuji wasn't intimidated. He couldn't believe that a third soul skill from a forty-something-level soul master could really pose much of a threat.

"Second Soul Skill: Great Strength Vajra Palm!"

Zhao Wuji's right hand surged with power as he charged at the wood dragon's head.

Boom!

The wood dragon's head shattered halfway, sending splinters flying, but within a second, it regenerated, fully restored.

Zhao Wuji was stunned. What insane regenerative ability is this?! Could Su Ming's fourth soul skill be affecting the wood dragon?

Furious, Zhao Wuji realized he had to destroy the wood dragon completely. Otherwise, he'd lose face as a teacher at Shrek Academy.

"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

A massive pressure descended on both the wood dragon and Su Ming, as Zhao Wuji attempted to restrict their movements.

"Second Soul Skill: Great Strength Vajra Palm!"

Zhao Wuji unleashed another flurry of powerful palm strikes, determined to smash the wood dragon to pieces.

Dust filled the air, obscuring the battlefield. When it finally cleared, everyone saw broken wood and fragments of the dragon's body scattered on the ground. A heavy silence followed—had Su Ming's wood dragon been defeated by Teacher Zhao?

"Brother…" Xiao Wu called out anxiously.

But Su Ming gave her a reassuring look.

Suddenly, the wood dragon's body was whole once again!

Everyone was shocked. How was that even possible?

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened in disbelief. "What kind of monster are you?!"

Su Ming shrugged. "Teacher Zhao, just because you can't beat the wood dragon doesn't mean you can start cursing."

Xiao Wu burst into laughter, and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but giggle while Zhu Zhuqing's usually stoic expression softened into a small smile.

In reality, the wood dragon had indeed been unable to withstand Zhao Wuji's relentless attacks. But as Zhao Wuji attacked, the dragon continuously regenerated, and by the time the dust had settled, it had almost fully healed.

Zhao Wuji's face darkened. He hadn't felt this frustrated since facing the Soul Emperors of the Spirit Hall years ago. And now, he was losing face in front of a bunch of students. He briefly considered using his Martial Soul True Body, but the cost was too great. Besides, if he resorted to that, he'd really lose all his dignity, and it might scare these prodigies away from enrolling.

He sighed, realizing that he couldn't waste time fighting the wood dragon any longer. He had to go after Su Ming directly.

With a wicked grin, Zhao Wuji activated his fourth soul ring: "Fourth Soul Skill: Homing Beacon!"

As the skill activated, Su Ming detected a faint honey-like scent in the air.

Dai Mubai quickly warned, "Su Ming, be careful! This skill locks onto your position. Since Teacher Zhao can't destroy your wood dragon, he's targeting you instead!"

Zhao Wuji shot Dai Mubai an annoyed glare. Can't you keep quiet?!

Homing Beacon, huh? Su Ming smirked. Time to show you something even better.

He stomped his right foot, activating his second soul ring. "Wood Release: Total Binding Technique!"

Su Ming's second soul ring was a cover; he wouldn't normally need to activate it again after already using it. However, after the previous battle, he had recovered enough soul power to go all out again. He channeled a large amount of energy into the ground, summoning several massive wooden hands from the earth.

Tang San was astonished. Is this Su Ming's second soul skill? It looks like some kind of control skill, summoning giant wooden hands from the ground.

Zhao Wuji, too, was taken aback. What use would a control skill be at this point? He can't possibly think he can restrain me, can he?

But Su Ming's goal was exactly that—to grab Zhao Wuji. The Total Binding Technique was highly mobile, striking unpredictably from the ground.

Just as Zhao Wuji locked onto Su Ming's position and leaped into the air, one of the giant wooden hands shot up, grabbing him mid-air. More hands followed, piling on and constraining him further.

What the hell?! How are these wooden hands so fast?!

Zhao Wuji had lost count of how many times Su Ming had surprised him today. This was the first time his Homing Beacon had ever been interrupted!

Su Ming flashed a devilish smile, sending shivers down Zhao Wuji's spine. He had a bad feeling.

"Wood Dragon, attack! Bite Teacher Zhao!"

The wood dragon obeyed, coiling around Zhao Wuji, its massive jaws clamping onto his head. Terrified, Zhao Wuji instantly channeled all his soul power to protect his head.


Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Zhao Wuji Defeated, Fourth Test Passed

The girls watching were shocked by Su Ming's actions. Is he really going to crush Teacher Zhao's head with that wood dragon? At first, Zhao Wuji was only startled by the shaking, but as he reassured himself of his near-invincible defense among his peers, he grew confident that Su Ming's wood dragon couldn't hurt him, especially with most of his soul power concentrated on protecting his head.

However, just as he relaxed, he realized something was wrong. Wait... why does it feel like my soul power is draining so fast?

What the—! It wasn't that his soul power was depleting quickly; the wood dragon was actually absorbing it! Zhao Wuji began to panic. At this rate, his soul power wouldn't last long, and when it ran out, his head would be defenseless!

Zhao Wuji was in a bind. Should he use his Martial Soul True Body to break free of Su Ming's control? But if he did, his dignity as a teacher would be in tatters!

"Hey, Su Ming, let me go! If you don't, I'll stop playing fair!" Zhao Wuji called out.

Su Ming didn't respond, maintaining a steady control over the wood dragon, neither speeding up nor slowing down, allowing Zhao Wuji to experience a slow, creeping sense of danger. Zhao Wuji's body was already affected by the Dragon Beard Needle and poison that Tang San had shot into him, and now his mind was struggling with the decision of whether to use his Martial Soul True Body.

Su Ming, meanwhile, remained calm. He knew that if Zhao Wuji used his True Body, his dignity as a teacher would be shattered, and students like Ning Rongrong and the others might not want to stay at the academy. After all, who would want to enroll in a school with such undignified teachers?

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to run out of soul power, the wood dragon loosened its grip and disappeared, along with the wooden hands that had restrained him.

Su Ming smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, the incense has burned out. We've passed the test."

Zhao Wuji looked down and saw that the incense stick had indeed burned to the end.

With a sigh, he said, "You little brat, couldn't you have shown a bit of mercy?"

Then, he turned to glare at Tang San. "And you, too!"

Su Ming calmly replied, "Teacher Zhao, you're a Soul Saint, after all. Your defense is incredibly strong. We had to go all out if we wanted any chance of victory. Since we couldn't break through your defenses, the only option was to drain your soul power. Luckily, my third soul skill allows me to absorb my opponent's soul power. But to be honest, if you had used your Martial Soul True Body earlier, we would've lost."

Zhao Wuji retorted angrily, "If I had to use my True Body against a bunch of kids, I wouldn't be able to show my face in the Soul Master world anymore!"

He then waved his hand and said, "Alright, the incense has burned out, and you've passed the fourth test. You're all admitted to the academy."

Though Zhao Wuji tried to sound casual, deep down, he was frustrated. How had he, the famous Immovable King, lost to a bunch of kids? He had wanted to show off and put on a show, but instead, he'd lost face in front of everyone.

The others, now that the test was over, withdrew their martial souls. Su Ming, seeing that Ning Rongrong had kept her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda active throughout, used his third and fourth soul skills to help restore her soul power. Thanks to the wood dragon's absorption of Zhao Wuji's energy and Su Ming's natural recovery speed, his soul power was already fully replenished.

Ning Rongrong felt her soul power rapidly recovering and gave Su Ming a sweet smile in gratitude.

Tang San approached Zhao Wuji with an apologetic look and said, "Teacher Zhao, let me remove the needles from your body. It's not good for your health to leave them there."

With that, Tang San used a special technique to extract the Dragon Beard Needles, making Zhao Wuji wince in pain.

Zhao Wuji turned to Dai Mubai and barked, "What are you standing around for? Go get Oscar!"

"Oh, right! I'll go call him now," Dai Mubai said hurriedly.

He shouted, "Oscar, we've got business! Hurry up!"

"Business? Where? Where's the business?" Oscar's distinctively soft voice rang out, filled with excitement. He quickly appeared before the group.

Dai Mubai waved him over. "Little Ao, come here!"

Oscar rushed over, "Boss Dai, you called for me?"

Dai Mubai nodded. "Teacher Zhao needs you."

Oscar looked around, confused. "Where? Where is Teacher Zhao?"

Zhao Wuji's face darkened, and he slapped Oscar on the head. "Right here! Stop pretending you didn't see me!"

Oscar rubbed his head in pain and laughed awkwardly. "I was just trying to lighten the mood, Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Wuji, still in a foul mood, didn't want to waste time. "Hurry up and give me some of your big sausage and little sausage."

Dai Mubai, meanwhile, explained to the group, "Oscar's martial soul is sausage. He's a food-type soul master. His first soul skill, Big Recovery Sausage, accelerates the healing of physical injuries, and his second soul skill, Small Detoxifying Sausage, removes poison. The only downside is that the incantation is a bit… odd. You'll see what I mean."

Dai Mubai then turned to Su Ming and asked, "Wait, Su Ming, doesn't your fourth soul skill also have healing properties? Couldn't you just heal Teacher Zhao?"

Su Ming feigned innocence. "Teacher Zhao didn't ask me to heal him, and besides, after all that fighting, I don't have enough soul power left to use my fourth skill."

Dai Mubai nodded in understanding. Su Ming had used all four of his soul skills multiple times during the battle, so it made sense that his soul power would be depleted. After all, using a fourth soul skill at his level required a lot of energy.

What Dai Mubai didn't know was that Su Ming was actually fully recovered, but he had no intention of healing Zhao Wuji. Serves him right for bullying us kids. Su Ming had never particularly liked Zhao Wuji anyway.

Oscar, realizing that only Teacher Zhao needed his sausages, pouted. "Boss Dai, you tricked me! There's no real business here."

Oscar glanced around at the group, noticing that no one else was injured and seemed to be in good shape. Looks like I won't be selling many sausages today…

Zhao Wuji, irritated, flicked Oscar's head again. "Less talking, more sausages!"
