Chapter 15: War Record: Duel with Xiao Wu?

Tang San no longer had doubts.

He only thought his senior brother was too talented, being able to devise a technique similar to Swallow Parting Flight on his own, or perhaps it was the teacher's credit.

Moreover, thinking carefully, this technique is still a bit different from Swallow Parting Flight.

At least, the Tang Sect's Swallow Parting Flight does not emit that gust of wind the instant it is unleashed.

That wind seemed to emanate from his senior brother's palm and back of the hand, quite unique.

Tang San possesses the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, giving him excellent vision.

He was just too surprised earlier, his composure a bit scattered.

Now, recalling a bit, he notices the differences.

……

The two walked toward the dormitory building.

Xiao Xian planned to see the Master, lest he accidentally get really cold.

Tang San wanted to return to Qi She, to greet his roommates first.

Especially Xiao Wu.

Teacher Mo Hen said that he and Xiao Wu were responsible for cleaning the garden beside the playground.

But he forgot to tell Xiao Wu, and then vanished for no reason for so long.

So these days, naturally only Xiao Wu could have been cleaning the garden alone…

Tang San just recalled this.

His face couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

But when he and Xiao Xian pushed open the Qi She gate, they found it completely empty inside.

"Where are the people?"

Tang San was somewhat puzzled.

At this hour, the academy's morning classes had already ended.

It was still at least half an hour before the Shi Tang would serve lunch.

Logically, they should be in the dormitory…

"Forget it, senior brother, let's go see Boss…" Tang San looked a bit resigned, but before he finished speaking,

"Boss Xiao!!! You finally came back!!!"

A mournful voice came from behind the two.

Several senior students in dirty Nording Academy uniforms, their heads swollen like pigs, helped each other and stumbled forward.

"What are you…"

They had been beaten so badly, Xiao Xian was a bit surprised—who would act with such no sense of restraint.

"Boss Xiao! It's me! Xiao Chenyu!" a tallest, most swollen‑faced teen among them shouted angrily: "They! Those work‑study students are bullying us too much!"

"Especially that new boss of Qi She… turned out to be a One Ring Soul Master!"

"She relied on her Hundred-Year Soul Ring, and while you, Boss Xiao, were away… she gave us a severe beating!"

"She even boasted of challenging you! To become the new boss of our entire academy!"

Xiao Chenyu and his bunch of followers chattered, embellishing the story.

"The new boss of Qi She… isn't that Xiao Wu?"

"She is also a One Ring Soul Master?"

"She hit people and still wants to challenge the senior brother?!"

Their words left Tang San somewhat shocked.

Xiao Xian, however, remained quite calm.

He glanced at Xiao Chenyu and said calmly, "The one who beat you is a girl named Xiao Wu, right? And that day you were bullied, Xiao Chenyu—did you yourself act lowly and provoke her?"

Xiao Xian knew exactly what kind of character Xiao Chenyu was.

He liked taking on juniors and bullying work‑study students.

Xiao Wu was straightforward, and her looks were still very cute.

Given Xiao Chenyu's temperament, being able to endure ten days without provoking her was already impressive.

He probably couldn't resist seeing that he was skipping class today.

Sure enough.

The few stammered.

Clearly there was another story.

"Little San, give them a few sugarcanes."

"Yes, senior brother!" Tang San did not refuse; they had indeed been beaten badly, and he felt a bit reluctant to watch.

"Blue Silver has spirit, Blue Silver Sugarcane, now!"

A Yellow Soul Ring materialized at Tang San's feet, flickering a few times, and several Blue Silver Sugarcane appeared in his hand.

Xiao Chenyu and the others were instinctively startled upon seeing the Soul Ring and the sugarcane.

Another Soul Master, with a Hundred-Year Yellow Soul Ring! And so young!

What has happened in these two years?!

Geniuses one after another!

Xiao Chenyu felt a bit existential.

"My junior brother, Tang San, is a One Ring Food System Instrument Soul Master," Xiao Xian patted Tang San's shoulder and introduced him.

Xiao Xian divided the sugarcane in Tang San's hand among them.

"Eat it, bite open the rind, chew the sugarcane juice inside; it can heal wounds."

"Th—thank you, Boss Xiao!"

A few of them grinned with clenched teeth and finished the sugarcane.

A warm current instantly surged into their limbs and bones, and the swollen injuries on their faces quickly faded.

"Impressive, Cheng Hui, one Silver Soul Coin per stick, remember to pay." Xiao Xian said with a smile.

In the academy there are only these gullible fools; earning a little is a little.

Besides, it also keeps their injuries from being too conspicuous.

Xiao Wu's handling wasn't light nor heavy; if the academy expelled them… where would they find another Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast?

Xiao Chenyu and a few others touched their faces, looked at each other, both surprised and delighted.

They couldn't stand wandering around the academy with a pig's head on.

This sugarcane is way too strong!

Xiao Chenyu gladly paid, also covering the others' portions and even gave a bit extra.

Tang San took the Silver Soul Coin, looking bewildered.

Soul skill… can be sold for money?!

And so many!

This earns more than being a blacksmith!

Tang San couldn't help but think in their heart.

They were also scared of being poor.

"Boss Xiao! Although we provoked her first, she did send you a Challenge Letter!" Xiao Chenyu said, still a bit indignant.

Xiao Xian glanced at Xiao Chenyu again.

From Xiao Xian's perspective, Xiao Chenyu is not a fool at all; on the contrary, he's very clever.

The so-called Challenge Letter is most likely genuine.

But whether Xiao Wu decided to issue it herself, or was led by Xiao Chenyu, that's hard to say.

"Where is she?" Xiao Xian asked briskly, taking the so-called Challenge Letter.

Xiao Wu is naturally an restless thorn.

Even without Xiao Chenyu, she would eventually come knocking.

to fulfill her dream of becoming Sister Xiao Wu.

Better to resolve it early, and we could have a few years of peace.

Otherwise.

Wait until she later breaks through Level Twenty.

He might not actually be an opponent.

After all, his soul ring… is hard to put into words.

Xiao Chenyu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "She's waiting at Back Mountain! Wang Sheng and the others are also there!"

"Senior brother…" Tang San was startled; he didn't expect Xiao Xian to actually intend to take over next. In his view, Xiao Wu is very hard to deal with, her methods are also bizarre; in close combat, even he is not a match.

"Got it, you go ahead, I'll arrive shortly."

Xiao Xian waved his hand, letting Xiao Chenyu and a few others go first to deliver the news, then turned to Tang San and said, "Xiao San, are you going to see the teacher first, or come with me?"

Tang San didn't hesitate and said, "It's still early; the teacher might still be sleeping, let's go together."

He silently decided in his heart: if senior brother truly isn't Xiao Wu's opponent.

He must somehow persuade Xiao Wu to stand down.

Otherwise… in close combat he's not Xiao Wu's match, but at range, using Hidden Weapon, who knows.

Thinking of this.

Tang San suddenly felt a bit relieved.

Senior brother can also perform Swallow Parting Flight; widening the distance makes losing impossible, right?

It's just… we don't know what Xiao Wu's soul skill is.

We didn't expect she already has a soul ring…

Tang San felt a sudden curiosity; he had spent a lot of effort for this soul ring.

Xiao Xian didn't have such complicated thoughts as Tang San.

Xuan Tian Gong First Layer is active, Dark Weapon Technique Precise Close, Suction Palm Great Achievement, Blow Fire Palm Minor Achievement.

He simply went with the flow, wanting to test his own strength.

Incidentally.

Let Tang San see his Self-Created Soul Technique.

So as to avoid future misunderstandings.
