Chapter 13: The First Fight

Afterward, the master asked Qin Tian a few more questions, concerned that something might go wrong.

It wasn't until Qin Tian accidentally stepped on the ground beneath the cart, creating a big hole, that the carriage finally became quiet.

This kid was as healthy as Tang San had said—truly a human-shaped soul beast!

If the master hadn't heard about Qin Tian from Tang San, he might have suspected that the kid was actually a transformed soul beast.

"I know the situation of both of you. After we return to Nuoding City, go to the Spirit Hall to register officially as Spirit Masters. Then you'll be able to receive a monthly allowance. You won't need to work as a labor student anymore, wasting time that could be spent on cultivation," the master explained carefully.

So, after the carriage traveled for most of the day, they finally arrived at Nuoding City in the afternoon.

Leighton helped the master to rest at their residence, and Qin Tian and Tang San went to register at the Spirit Hall.

"Little San, let's go. We'll have a match in the small forest over there," Qin Tian said as he grabbed Tang San arm, leading him to the nearby woods.

"Gazi, didn't we agree? Don't call me Little San," Tang San replied helplessly.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. Now the others in the dorm are calling me Gazi, wasn't it your doing?" Qin Tian said with a dark face.

"Hehe, Little San, today I'll show you how powerful my soul skill is," Qin Tian said, knowing that Tang San was very strong. He knew that if he really fought with him, he wouldn't stand a chance, especially with Tang San's hidden weapons, which were difficult to defend against.

But now that he had a soul skill, he thought, "One brick to knock this kid down, let's see how arrogant he still is."

"Remember, you can't use those strange things on me," Qin Tian reminded him. He didn't have confidence in dodging Tang San hidden weapons.

"Alright, we'll have a martial soul technique duel," Tang San agreed proudly.

He couldn't use his hidden weapons to harm Qin Tian, his little brother.

Qin Tian skill, Stunning Fist, could make his opponent dizzy for three seconds, but that was enough.

The only downside was that the Stunning Fist skill wasn't related to his own strength. Otherwise, if it were, with his strength, he could just knock someone's skull open with one hit, no need for Stunning.

After walking about ten meters into the forest, Qin Tian stopped.

The two of them distanced themselves, standing facing each other.

At the same time, they both summoned their martial souls.

"Heaven and Earth Dao Stele, suppress the universe!" Qin Tian shouted loudly, and the soul ring beneath his feet immediately wrapped around his martial soul, the brick. The Azure Brick turned into a streak of cyan light and flew toward Tang San.

Almost simultaneously, Tang San Blue Silver Grass leaves, like deep blue pythons, rushed to bind him.

Shockwave Fist!

With the improvement of his physical condition, Qin Tian strength wasn't the only thing that improved—his agility, vision, and hearing also became sharper.

Although it wasn't an exaggerated improvement, it was still significant at the right moment.

At this moment, relying on his instincts and eyesight, he threw a punch and directly knocked the deep blue grass leaves out of the air.

crack!

Although his Shockwave Fist wasn't very powerful, his physical strength was great. If the punch had hit something other than the soft grass leaves, the damage would have been much higher.

But Tang San wasn't easy either. His Lightness Skill let him evade Qin Tian flying brick quickly, and his pupils turned purple. Leaves from the trees transformed into sharp blades, attacking the Azure Brick.

Also, Tang San soul power had reached level 13, but he had been suppressing it.

These years of cultivation with Qin Tian, although unable to break through due to the soul ring's restriction, had laid a solid foundation. Combined with the 400-year-old Mandala Snake soul ring, his cultivation had been pushed to level 15.

Tang San feared being considered a monster, so he used a secret technique from his sect, compressing his Mysterious Heaven Skill inner force, which dropped his cultivation back to level 13.

Buzz!

At that moment, the air around them rippled. Tang San felt his leaves go off track, and his body was pushed toward Qin Tian by a shockwave.

It was Shockwave. Qin Tian had not used Stunning but rather Shockwave.

Qin Tian stepped forward, delivering a series of blows. The Blue Silver Grass formed like a python, but it couldn't get close to him.

"Ha ha! Little San, admit defeat!" Qin Tian laughed proudly, flashing a bright smile.

Controlling Crane Catching Dragon!

Seeing no way to dodge, Tang San used his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, to attack Qin Tian while his hands transformed into jade-like white. He aimed at Qin Tian fists.

With his Mysterious Heaven Skill breakthrough, his internal power had greatly increased. Moreover, this was a fusion of soul power, which enhanced his explosive strength.

He could now unleash around 1,800 pounds of force, and with his Mysterious Jade Hands and Controlling Crane Catching Dragons, he wasn't like before. He could face Qin Tian overwhelming power head-on.

However, the next moment, Tang San face changed. Qin Tian strength was greater than before. With his Mysterious Heaven Skill breakthrough, his explosive power had increased by 400-500 pounds, while Qin Tian had increased by 1,000 pounds.

Fortunately, Tang San body had also been strengthened after the breakthrough, and although his power was not as high as Qin Tian, he still had his Clear Sky Hammer, his strongest weapon. Even without a soul ring, it had been slowly improving his physical strength.

Before awakening his martial soul, Tang San physical strength was already about 300 pounds, but with his martial soul, he could unleash over 1,000 pounds of force. After the breakthrough, his strength exceeded 2,000 pounds.

At the moment of collision, Tang San felt a shockwave hit his left hand. He quickly activated Mysterious Heaven Skill to counter it.

Qin Tian, however, smiled and punched through the Blue Silver Grass leaves wrapping around him.

He saw his Azure Brick glow faintly as the second skill, Stunning, activated and hit Tang San on the back of his head.

Tang San felt the brick coming at him but was caught by a strange shockwave that invaded his body, causing his body to stiffen. He couldn't dodge in time.

After Tang San was knocked out, his Blue Silver Grass lost control and stopped attacking.

Qin Tian stretched out his hand and lightly flicked Tang San forehead. This kid was truly troublesome!

His body was now equivalent to a 100-year-old Shock Bear, and with the two soul skills, he was able to defeat Tang San.

The most important thing was that he was human, far smarter than a Shock Bear.

Of course, it wasn't easy. Tang San had used all his tricks, except for his lethal hidden weapons.

"Gazi, you've really gotten stronger! How did you do it? How can your fists release shockwaves?" Tang San asked, rubbing the back of his head, looking at Qin Tian with suspicion after waking up from the three-second Stunning.

"Want to know? Okay, if you teach me your warm, cold-dispelling technique, I'll tell you," Qin Tian said seriously.

When Qin Tian was five, he caught a cold, and Tang San used Mysterious Heaven Skill to help him sweat it out, so he was very familiar with this technique.

Tang San froze for a moment, then realized that Qin Tian had his eyes on his Mysterious Heaven Skill.
