"A match?"
After considering it, Su Cheng didn't immediately refuse. Instead, he asked, "Why would I compete with you? What's in it for me?"
This question actually stumped Tang San.
In his opinion, children of this age were usually competitive, and they rarely refused a fight, let alone asked for benefits.
But Su Cheng was clearly not like other kids his age.
Tang San couldn't help but frown inwardly.
If the other party insisted on avoiding the fight, he really didn't have a good method. It wouldn't be right to forcibly attack in public.
Su Cheng now lived in a single dorm room in the academy, separate from the work-study students, making it difficult to meet him privately.
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to waste my time," Su Cheng said with a slight lift of his eyebrows.
Tang San wasn't good at using the method of provocation. Seeing that it didn't work, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
He glanced at Xiao Wu beside him, who was always lowering her head, and he said directly, "What do you want?"
"Well..."
Su Cheng stretched out a finger and scratched his chin, sizing up Tang San.
His gaze paused, looking towards his waist.
There, a very elegant belt was fastened, which didn't match his attire at all.
The belt was entirely black, with barely visible dark stripes on it.
On the outside of the entire belt, twenty-four milky-white, circular jade stones were evenly inlaid, each only the size of a grown man's thumbnail. The color was soft and moist, and it was obvious at a glance that they were rare and precious jades.
"Cough," Su Cheng was a little embarrassed. "Your belt is nice."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and then his anger surged.
How dare he! This guy actually had his eyes on the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night given to him by his teacher!
Not to mention the value of the storage soul tool itself, he couldn't use it as a bet just because it was a gift from his teacher.
Moreover, this belt was also of great practical significance to him.
The twenty-four jade stones inlaid on the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night each contained a cubic meter of storage space. For Tang San, that meant it could store twenty-four kinds of hidden weapons!
With this belt, he no longer worried about storing his hidden weapons.
"Brother, forget it."
Seeing Tang San silent, Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve and said softly.
Xiao Wu was naturally close to Tang San, and the fact that he stood up for her at the beginning of school moved her even more, even accelerating the development of their relationship.
When they returned to Holy Soul Village to confirm their relationship, Tang San had revealed the secret of his hidden weapons, so she naturally knew how important storage soul tools were to him.
She didn't want him to take any risks because of this.
At the moment, Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with water as she looked at Tang San, her gentle gaze almost melting his heart.
"Hold on tight, don't waste time."
An untimely voice suddenly interrupted the lingering gaze between the two.
However, having just been provoked by Xiao Wu, Tang San was no longer hesitant.
He looked at Su Cheng coldly, "Alright, if I lose, I'll give you this belt. But, if you lose, I want you to apologize to Xiao Wu!"
"Hehe, I haven't done anything to her, why should I apologize?" Su Cheng's tone was a bit helpless. "But since you're so sincere, I don't mind agreeing. If I lose, I'll apologize."
"Let's go, to the back mountain."
"Go? What if you go back on your word after you lose?"
Tang San frowned at the words. "I always keep my word."
"Whether you keep your word or not, I don't know. Let me think..." Su Cheng pondered for a moment, then his eyes turned to Xiao Wu. "How about this, let's use the little girl beside you to swear? If you break the agreement, you will lose her forever."
Tang San's eyes flashed with anger and killing intent, his aura instantly surging.
He could overlook anything else, but daring to curse Xiao Wu like that was truly seeking death.
"I won't swear on Xiao Wu!" Tang San said coldly.
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
Su Cheng turned as if to leave.
"Wait!" Xiao Wu suddenly called out to him.
She first glanced at Tang San and said softly, "Big brother, I will never leave you."
Then, steeling herself against the fear in her heart, she looked directly at Su Cheng. "I'll agree on behalf of my brother!"
Su Cheng looked at Tang San with a half-smile, "What do you say?"
At this point, Tang San's expression became calm.
He had already made up his mind. In this battle today, he would use hidden weapons if necessary. Even if he couldn't kill Su Cheng, he would ruin him forever, letting him know that some things couldn't be spoken carelessly.
"Let's go."
On the stone slope at the back of the mountain, Tang San took out a few items stored in the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night and gave them to Xiao Wu. Then, he stood facing Su Cheng.
Actually, this terrain wasn't advantageous for Tang San. There weren't any plants around, so his attacks would be obvious and couldn't be concealed.
But in the academy, it was obviously unrealistic to find a forest, and Su Cheng wouldn't agree either.
Moreover, in Tang San's view, with Su Cheng's innate soul power of 0.5, it would be good if he had a cultivation base of two or three levels. Even if he had some tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn't be able to surpass him, who was a soul master and taught by Yu Xiaogang.
It didn't matter where, as long as he could handle it with ease.
The key was how to give him a sufficient lesson.
"Tang San, second-year work-study student, martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. Level fourteen, one-ring tool soul master."
A faint white light shone from Tang San's body. He raised his right hand, and Blue Silver Grass grew from his palm.
Tang San raised his right hand, and a faint white light appeared on the surface of his skin. Following that, a dark blue Blue Silver Grass surged out from his palm. As he waved his right hand, the Blue Silver Grass scattered at his feet.
A bright yellow soul ring rose from his feet, circling around his body and undulating up and down.
A faint tea fragrance drifted out, and the intoxicating scent contained a toxin that could paralyze people.
"Su Cheng, second-year student. Martial soul..." Su Cheng paused, his expression strange, "I don't need to use a martial soul."
As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and held it in his hand.
He couldn't reveal his martial soul right now. A wooden stick as a sword would be enough to beat Tang San.
"Looking for death."
Seeing his actions, Tang San's anger surged.
Several deep blue grass leaves quickly detached from his palm and shot towards Su Cheng's face.
At the same time, more than ten thick Blue Silver Grass erupted from under Su Cheng's feet without warning, spiraling upwards and wrapping around his legs.
"Trash martial soul, weak attack."
Su Cheng didn't dodge. With the wooden stick in his hand, he slashed down like a sword, instantly releasing several sword shadows that severed all the Blue Silver Grass branches.
Su Cheng swayed slightly, easily dodging the Blue Silver Grass's sudden attack.
Tang San was startled.
He knew that the current Blue Silver Grass spirit was different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. After absorbing the Man-Duo-Luo Snake's spirit ring, it had already become extremely tough.
Yet, it had been destroyed by Su Cheng in a single blow, with no ability to resist.
The key was that the opponent hadn't even revealed his spirit yet, accomplishing this feat with only an ordinary wooden stick.
A faint sense of crisis arose from the depths of his heart, and he momentarily lost his previous confidence.
He activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to its fullest, and in an instant, dozens of branches and leaves shot out from the ground.
His entanglement soul skill had a paralysis effect. Unless the enemy's level was extremely high, it would be difficult to break free once controlled.
Moreover, the biggest characteristic of Blue Silver Grass's binding skill was its suddenness. Tang San had tried it; within a fifty-meter range, he could control the Blue Silver Grass to attack from any position.
"The moves are quite flexible, but it's a pity, the martial soul is no good. No matter what techniques you use, it's useless."
Seeing a new round of attacks coming, he didn't continue to stay in place this time. The wooden stick couldn't withstand the sword intent, and it was also difficult for him to cut off so much Blue Silver Grass at once.
He dodged with his feet, and the wooden stick in his hand kept slashing out.
His movements didn't seem fast, but he could always intercept the attacking Blue Silver Grass branches one step ahead of time.
Broken Vein Continuation Technique! Within the level range below a Soul King, almost no one could compete with him in terms of attack speed.
"Your abilities are mediocre, and there are no highlights. It's clearly a plant-type martial soul, but you're messing with toxins. Your thought process is quite good."
Su Cheng was handling the attacks with ease while continuing to trash-talk.
He wasn't trash-talking Tang San to win; there was no need for that.
Nor was he trying to enlighten him. Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't help. The Blue Silver Grass was a terrible spirit, and unless it awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor, its limits were obvious.
He wanted to plant a seed in Tang San's mind: the seed that the Blue Silver Grass was a useless spirit.
He'd add fuel to the fire later. If he could get Tang San to switch to the Clear Sky Hammer early, that would be even better.
Tang San wasn't a threat, but Su Cheng wanted to know the Asura God's attitude. How would this God King in the God Realm handle a dual spirit with wasted potential?
Although the gods in this world were a bit restless, the current God Realm Committee shouldn't be completely dominant. They couldn't interfere too much with the lower realms. With this in mind, Su Cheng still had a lot of room to maneuver.
As for Tang San, he was never the goal.
While Su Cheng was idly letting his thoughts wander, Tang San was already sweating, starting to get anxious.
Seeing the Blue Silver entanglement was useless, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to quickly rush towards Su Cheng. Then, he gathered his power in both palms, slowly pushing them forward in front of his chest.
Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Mysterious Jade Hand!
"Pa."
The wooden stick struck his palm first, cutting off his close-quarters attack.
This change clearly caught him off guard, and his attack was a beat slow.
"Slow reaction, ineffective attack."
Then, Su Cheng flicked his wrist upward, and the tip of the wooden stick struck Tang San's Neiguan Acupoint below his palm, instantly numbing his arm.
Following that, the wooden stick slashed up like a sword, instantly pointing at Tang San's throat.
"You lose."
"..."
Tang San's pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body froze.
How could this be? How could this possibly be!
His Mysterious Jade Hand attack had been deflected so easily? How could he keep up with my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track speed?!
My sleeve arrows, my hidden weapons, I haven't even used them yet!
"I, I..."
Su Cheng held the stick in his right hand and didn't move. He reached out with his left hand and removed Tang San's belt.
Tang San's face was pale, but he remained frozen in place, unresponsive.
It seemed this failure had hit him harder than Su Cheng had imagined.
Success and failure are difficult to discern, gains and losses are easy to come by. It's simple to say, but how many people can truly achieve it?
Su Cheng shook his head, holding the soul tool and turning to leave the place.
He really overestimated Tang San.
