My System Logged-in Too Early! (Soul Land Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Xiao Tian—"If Heaven Had Not Given Birth to Me, Xiao Tian, the Sword Path Would Have Been Forever Dark!"

Xiao Tian's aura transformed, radiating boundless sword intent. The sharpness of it pricked the skin of the onlookers, leaving faint, bloody marks on the weaker students.

Xiao Chenyu stared at his tattered clothes in shock. A sense of dread swept over him as he muttered, "I knew it... Xiao Tian really is the strongest in dorm seven."

As Xiao Tian's sword intent surged, the moment Tang San's Blue Silver Grass approached him, it was instantly shredded like brittle paper. Not even a strand managed to graze Xiao Tian.

Tang San froze in disbelief.

'This script... this has to be wrong,' he thought, his mind racing.

The battle wasn't unfolding the way Tang San had imagined. In his plan, his Blue Silver Bind would immobilize Xiao Tian effortlessly. Then, with everyone watching, Xiao Tian would have no choice but to plead for mercy.

That would serve both as payback for his earlier defeat and as a display of power to win Xiao Wu's admiration. But now? His Blue Silver Grass had been obliterated in an instant.

Nearby, Yu Xiaogang arrived just in time to witness the shocking scene. His prized disciple, even after obtaining a powerful first soul ring, was utterly suppressed.

The aura Xiao Tian exuded felt eerily familiar—reminiscent of Sword Douluo Chen Xin. Yet this was not quite the same; it was weaker, rawer... but still undeniably sword intent.

Yu Xiaogang's mind reeled. 'How could a six-year-old child exude sword intent?'

Xiao Tian leisurely dusted off a stray piece of Blue Silver Grass from his shoulder. With a faint smile, he mocked, "No way... is this really your first soul skill, Tang San?"

"Entanglement? For a plant-type martial soul, isn't that just a basic instinct? And you wasted your first soul ring on something so useless?"

Laughter rippled through the crowd as Xiao Tian's words sank in. Tang San's face flushed red with humiliation.

They also thought that, as a plant martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass itself is able to entangle. Adding such a soul ring simply means that it can have a little more control. But in their opinion, the such disadvantage could be compensated as the soul master and martial soul became stronger.

"Who said it's useless?" Tang San snapped. "My first soul skill adds paralysis toxin and enhances the toughness of my Blue Silver Grass!"

Xiao Tian casually pointed to the shredded remnants of grass scattered across the ground. "Tougher, huh? Sorry, I must've missed that part."

Tang San's lips twitched, his face turning redder. Even with decades of experience in his soul, he couldn't withstand such blatant ridicule.

Gritting his teeth, Tang San shifted tactics. His eyes narrowed as he activated his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, darting toward Xiao Tian with blinding speed.

Combined with the reinforcement of his Mysterious Jade Hand and the precision of his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San was determined to close the distance.

But Xiao Tian remained unflustered.

With a light step, he activated his Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step, effortlessly maintaining a precise distance from Tang San while simultaneously launching a flurry of sword shadows. The illusory blades rained down on Tang San, leaving him no time to breathe.

Tang San's instincts kicked in. He summoned layers of Blue Silver Grass for defense, only to watch helplessly as the sword shadows tore through them like paper.

In desperation, Tang San launched a surprise attack from behind, summoning Blue Silver Grass to bind Xiao Tian from the rear. 'Let's see how you handle this!' he thought triumphantly.

But Xiao Tian remained calm. His voice rang out, steady and unshaken.

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Xiao Tian, the sword path would have been forever dark!"

Then, a single word:

"Swords!"

Boom!

A storm of sword intent erupted from Xiao Tian, far more powerful than before. The sheer force of it created an impenetrable barrier or an absolute domain, shredding any Blue Silver Grass that dared to approach. Even Tang San's most desperate attempts to bind Xiao Tian failed miserably.

"Impossible..." Tang San muttered, his confidence crumbling.

Xiao Tian's Xuan-Yuan Sword quivered with energy, feeding off the overwhelming sword intent. Each strike he unleashed sent waves of destruction across the battlefield.

The sword intent was raging on the field. Xiao Chenyu and the others were startled. For the sake of their own lives, they ran far away or hid behind the trees, and watched carefully.

Realizing he couldn't fight head-on, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, scanning for openings among the phantoms Xiao Tian created with his Immortal Wind and Cloud Body Technique. But just as he locked onto what he believed was Xiao Tian's real body, he felt an icy chill at his neck.

Tang San froze. Cold steel rested against his skin. Xiao Tian's calm voice broke the silence.

"Looks like I win."

The crowd was deathly silent, their disbelief evident. Even Yu Xiaogang, who had witnessed countless battles, found himself unable to process what he had just seen.

Xiao Tian sheathed his sword, his demeanor as relaxed as ever. "Tang San, next time, bring something more than Blue Silver Grass. It might save you some embarrassment."

As Tang San stood frozen, Xiao Tian turned and walked away, leaving the crowd in stunned silence. Xiao Wu, watching from the sidelines, felt her heart stir. For reasons she couldn't quite explain, Xiao Tian's indomitable aura had captivated her.

In the distance, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists. His expression was grim as he whispered, "Xiao Tian... who exactly are you?"
