A Bet? The Kind Where You Kiss Me If You Lose

Li Chang'an looked at the towering figure standing before him, a full two meters tall even without releasing his Martial Soul. First, he was startled; then, he was delighted. This guy really was a pillow delivered just when he was sleepy. In that case, he could hardly be blamed for not holding back!

"Mm, I am." Li Chang'an first gave Qian Renxue a look telling her to stay calm, then sat quietly in his seat and looked at Huyan Zhuo.

Honestly, if everyone in the Elephant Armor Sect was this simple-minded, he would not mind finding an opportunity to take complete control of the Elephant Armor Sect someday!

Huyan Zhuo glanced at Li Chang'an's slight frame and curled his lip disdainfully. "I won't release my Martial Soul. If you can break through my defense, I'll admit defeat."

"But if you can't break through my defense, you have to apologize to my little brother!"

Qian Renxue, seated before Li Chang'an, angrily slammed her hand on the table and was about to rise. The gap between Li Chang'an and his opponent was far too great. Only if she stepped in could she defeat him!

Yet before Qian Renxue could stand, she discovered that Li Chang'an had firmly grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing? I've already broken through level thirty. You don't need to worry about me." Qian Renxue no longer cared about being shy as she lowered her head and whispered softly into Li Chang'an's ear.

Level thirty at ten years old?

Li Chang'an immediately understood. Qian Renxue's Angel Martial Soul had been inherited from the Angel God and blessed by a god. It seemed that everyone in her bloodline began with Innate Soul Power in the twenties.

Compared to Qian Renxue, Tang San and the like were utterly outclassed.

But Li Chang'an was not the kind of man who let a woman stand in front of him. Besides, he had not even properly started using his abilities yet!

Like Qian Renxue, Li Chang'an brought his mouth close to her ear, deliberately taking advantage of the moment as he breathed warm air against it. Only then did he say, "Want to make a bet? If I beat the shit out of him, you kiss me once."

"You!" Qian Renxue pointed at Li Chang'an with a pale little finger, her face flushing bright red. This Womanizer—how could he say something like that?

"What, are you scared?" Li Chang'an continued teasing her, breathing warm air into her ear.

Qian Renxue was an exceptionally proud person. Besides, she knew perfectly well that Huyan Zhuo's Soul Power had already reached the thirties. It would be strange enough if Li Chang'an could break his defense, let alone beat the shit out of him.

"Fine!" Qian Renxue nodded.

Li Chang'an took the chance to stroke Qian Renxue's light golden hair and gave a chuckle. This kiss was as good as his.

With the goal of maximizing his gains, Li Chang'an calmly said to Huyan Zhuo, "How about this? When I fought your brother before, it was in front of the entire school. Let's duel at our academy's training grounds instead. It'll be more convenient that way."

Without even thinking about it, Huyan Zhuo nodded in agreement.

And so, Li Chang'an walked at the front by himself, Qian Renxue followed behind with a somewhat solemn expression, and Huyan Zhuo's hulking body brought up the rear.

Though Qian Renxue claimed not to be nervous, her heart was actually in turmoil. She had better keep an eye on things later. She could not let this guy get beaten to death by accident.

I'm not worried about him. I just don't want the ideas in his head to disappear like that. Qian Renxue reassured herself.

As soon as Li Chang'an entered the academy gates, he stopped several passing students. "Seniors, look, this is Huyan Li's older brother, Huyan Zhuo—the one who came to challenge our academy last time. He came to challenge me today. Could you call some students over to cheer me on?"

Li Chang'an was quite recognizable at the academy. After all, he possessed Twin Martial Souls, and he was so young and handsome that no one would fail to recognize him.

"Ah, all right, Junior Brother. Don't worry, we'll notify all the teachers and students right away!" A student too unimportant to deserve a name nodded solemnly, then immediately ran off with his companion.

Li Chang'an smiled in satisfaction. This time, he could harvest another one or two thousand points. Tonight, he could try to break through to level twenty!

News traveled quickly through the school. On top of that, everyone had just finished lunch and had nothing to do, so many students rushed toward the training grounds. The teachers hurried over as well to maintain order and lend support.

Muxi, who was halfway through her meal in the cafeteria, heard the news. Her delicate brows furrowed above her peach-blossom eyes as she thought of that bad guy Li Chang'an. She set her food aside and quickly ran out too.

"Another duel? Isn't this just bullying?" Hu Liena patted Xie Yue on the shoulder. "Brother, let's go together. We can't let Little Junior Brother suffer."

Although she was very dissatisfied with Li Chang'an's behavior at noon, Hu Liena still could not help worrying about him. So she urged Xie Yue to hurry over and show their support.

Xie Yue: Why do I feel like my little sister is really about to be stolen away?

Though he thought this, Xie Yue still let Hu Liena drag him along.

After Li Chang'an and Huyan Li stepped onto the training grounds, neither spoke again. Li Chang'an kept scanning the area, waiting for everyone to arrive before beginning his performance.

Today was an important day for Li Chang'an: challenging someone above his level, making a name for himself, and showing off before a crowd. He hoped every student in the academy would come watch him flex.

"Hey, are you going to fight or not?" Huyan Zhuo asked impatiently in his deep, muffled voice.

Li Chang'an waved a hand. "What are you in such a hurry for? Wait a little longer."

Every person meant points. Naturally, Li Chang'an would not give up on a single student.

About another ten minutes passed. After Li Chang'an waited for the last two distant students to run over and repeatedly confirmed that no one else was coming, he finally straightened up.

"Here I come!"

A pitch-black Pangu Axe, sharp to the extreme, slowly appeared in Li Chang'an's hand. At the same time, a purple Soul Ring slowly emerged beneath his feet.

Some observant people noticed that Li Chang'an's Soul Ring seemed more substantial and more profound than before. However, none of them voiced their doubts. The change was not particularly great, and they could not imagine that the quality of Li Chang'an's Soul Ring had improved.

"Thirty seconds. I only need thirty seconds to beat the shit out of you!" Li Chang'an raised the axe in his right hand, held up three fingers with his left, and declared arrogantly.

Huyan Zhuo sneered. "Come on, then. You can't win with just your mouth."

Li Chang'an appeared not to move at all. Only his gaze grew a touch more serious as he looked at Huyan Zhuo. Stare-and-Poop, activate!

Huyan Zhuo had just assumed a defensive stance when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and an overwhelming urge to take a shit.

But Huyan Zhuo did not care. His body was sturdy; nothing serious could possibly happen.

Meanwhile, Li Chang'an counted silently in his heart. Only after twenty seconds had passed did he begin releasing his Soul Skill!

Purple light appeared along the edge of the Pangu Axe. Li Chang'an swung the axe directly at Huyan Zhuo, whose expression had turned utterly miserable. Holding it in was becoming genuinely painful.

Just as Li Chang'an's attack was about to land, Huyan Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, and a sound echoed across the entire arena!

Pffft! Splat!
