Chi Xiu: Tang San Lasting More Than Two Seconds Was Already Pretty Good

"Oscar! Why isn't Mubai here today?"

Zhao Wuji asked Oscar, who was watching over the sausage stall.

He rose from his stool and looked at the few new students approaching the fourth stage of the entrance test. Normally, Dai Mubai should have been the one guiding them here today. Why had the new students come by themselves instead?

"Who knows? Maybe he got drunk at some hotel and is sleeping with some babe."

Oscar complained. Just thinking about it made him insanely jealous. Unfortunately, he was neither as rich as Dai Mubai nor as bold and well-connected.

"On the day new students enroll, he shouldn't be late."

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself in confusion. Seeing that the new students had already arrived, he had no choice but to go over personally.

"This is the fourth stage. The one testing you was supposed to be a senior student, but for some reason, he can't make it. Since that's the case, I'll test you myself."

Zhao Wuji looked at the five of them, including Chi Xiu.

"I'm not a new student. I just came with her, so I don't need to take the test."

After saying that, Chi Xiu stepped aside and gave Ning Rongrong an encouraging gesture.

Then how did you get in...? Zhao Wuji gave Chi Xiu a strange look but said nothing more, continuing to explain the rules to Tang San and the others.

"Wow, so many beautiful girls."

Hearing that, Chi Xiu turned around and found Oscar staring lecherously at Ning Rongrong and the others, especially lingering for quite some time over the girls' bare thighs and cleavage.

Chi Xiu said nothing. He was lustful too; it was simply a man's nature.

"You're still staring?"

After more than ten seconds, Chi Xiu could no longer stand it and slapped Oscar's barbecue stall.

Oscar smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I've never seen so many beautiful girls before. I got a little excited."

Chi Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Now that you understand, discuss your strategy among yourselves. Once you're ready, begin!"

After saying that, Zhao Wuji returned to his chair.

Ning Rongrong glanced at Chi Xiu then. He grinned, and she snorted before joining the others to discuss their strategy.

Chi Xiu glanced over. Tang San was still the one offering ideas, but Xiao Wu occasionally spoke up to argue with him. Tang San responded eagerly, apparently trying to please Xiao Wu.

It seemed their relationship had indeed changed somewhat.

"Teacher Zhao! Teacher Zhao!"

At that moment, an anxious call came from afar and drew closer.

Chi Xiu turned to look and saw Dai Mubai staggering over, followed by a fat man in red—Ma Hongjun.

Finally here. I've been waiting for you. Chi Xiu's eyes turned cold as he stood up.

"Boss Dai! What happened to you, Boss Dai?"

Oscar hurried over and, together with Ma Hongjun, supported Dai Mubai.

"Teacher Zhao! You can't let him join Shrek Academy! He's the one who beat me into this state!"

Dai Mubai spotted Chi Xiu and quickly ran toward Zhao Wuji, pointing at Chi Xiu.

"Hmph, scum."

Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Mubai with utter disdain. What surprised Chi Xiu was that Xiao Wu was also looking at Dai Mubai with some disgust. Thinking carefully, he remembered that Xiao Wu and Tang San had apparently encountered Dai Mubai once at the Rose Hotel.

At the time, Dai Mubai had been holding a girl in each arm, leaving Xiao Wu with a terrible impression of him.

"What?! He beat you into this state? Are you joking, Mubai?"

Zhao Wuji found it hard to believe, but Dai Mubai's injuries were right before his eyes.

"Kid, is that true?"

Zhao Wuji looked at Chi Xiu.

"I did beat him. These feet of mine specialize in kicking dogs I don't like."

As Chi Xiu spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at his right foot.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji walked toward Chi Xiu. "Heh! You've got quite the mouth on you, kid. I don't care what the reason was, but you beat my student, so you need to give me an explanation. Protecting our own has always been Shrek Academy's principle."

"Now that the sides have changed, the way you describe Shrek makes me feel a little sick..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. What kind of explanation do you want? Do you want me to fight you?"

Chi Xiu showed no fear before Zhao Wuji. He even walked up to him and met the short, brawny man's gaze.

"I'm afraid I'll tear you apart. That little body of yours can't even take one punch from me!"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists as he spoke. He was genuinely angry.

But arrogance was the privilege of the victor. Only the winner had the right to be arrogant. Chi Xiu did not think he would lose; he only knew that no one here could put up a fight.

At that moment, Tang San silently studied Chi Xiu from the side.

"This boy isn't simple. Teacher Zhao is already releasing pressure, yet that masked boy's tone hasn't been affected at all."

Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San upon hearing that, then continued staring at the side of Chi Xiu's face that was not completely covered by his mask.

"I think this boy's voice sounds familiar. And that side of his face... it looks familiar too."

Hearing her mutter, Ning Rongrong warily glanced at Xiao Wu and deliberately shifted her position to stand between Xiao Wu and Chi Xiu.

"Are we taking the test or not? The grudge between you has nothing to do with me. I only came here to join the academy."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke, still cold as ever. She did not even want to look at Dai Mubai now. The only reason she had come to Shrek Academy was because that bastard was here, and she had nowhere else to go.

"Exactly!"

Xiao Wu hurriedly agreed. "That's a grudge from before, but we still need to take the test!"

Zhao Wuji loosened his fist. Secretly, he was surprised that this kid was completely unfazed by the pressure he had released.

Thinking of this, he smiled.

"Since you're in such a hurry to take the test, I'll make a change to the fourth-stage test."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji looked at Chi Xiu.

"Next, the few of you will deal with him together. Whoever performs well during the fight against him will be admitted."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "I refuse. I'm not going to fight a stranger for that piece of trash."

Ning Rongrong could not be bothered to respond. She simply walked to Chi Xiu's side and linked her arm through his, making her stance clear.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai then, disappointment appearing in her eyes.

"I also refuse this kind of test."

All three girls had made their positions clear.

Zhao Wuji then looked at Tang San. "What about you?"

"If this masked friend accepts, then I'm willing."

Chi Xiu shrugged upon hearing that. "I don't care. Whoever wants to come can come. You, and you."

He pointed at Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Because of Dai Mubai, the two were currently hostile toward Chi Xiu.

Chi Xiu turned his finger. "And you too. Come along."

This time, he pointed at Zhao Wuji.

"Beat those three first before you talk."

Zhao Wuji waved him off, too lazy to argue. He did not believe Chi Xiu had the ability to fight him.

"If the three of them can't beat me, then you'll be next. Deal?"

Chi Xiu looked at Zhao Wuji.

"Hehe, sure."

Zhao Wuji answered casually, not taking it seriously at all.

Chi Xiu walked to the center of the field, beckoning at the three opposite him as he went.

"Come at me together. Hurry up, I can't wait to punch that stupid bear's mouth crooked."

"I'll punch your mouth crooked!"

After saying that, Ma Hongjun released his martial soul. Tang San and Oscar released theirs as well.

Chi Xiu did not move.

Tang San asked in confusion, "Why aren't you releasing your martial soul?"

"Afraid I'll scare you. That's the explanation. Start already."

Tang San narrowed his eyes at those words. For the first time, he felt displeased by Chi Xiu's excessive arrogance.

"First Soul Skill, Entangling!"

Countless thick Blue Silver Vines burrowed beneath the ground. In an instant, they wrapped the spot where Chi Xiu stood into a ball.

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. A Blue Silver Grass martial soul could actually be this powerful?

Then he looked at the tightly wrapped mass of Blue Silver Grass and frowned.

Something was wrong!

There was no one inside!

Tang San was startled and turned toward Oscar beside him.

"Watch out!"

At some point, Chi Xiu had somehow bypassed Tang San and arrived directly beside Oscar!

With a curl of his lips, he grabbed Oscar and hurled him toward the Fire Phoenix in the sky.

This happened in barely a tenth of a second.

Ma Hongjun was completely caught off guard. Oscar flew at him with incredible speed and force. The two collided and clung to each other, screaming as they spun through the sky and fell toward the distant village.

Tang San was shocked.

Without releasing his martial soul, just relying on physical strength?!

If he remembered correctly, he was twelve years old too!

The only thing unknown was his Soul Power. That old man had failed to test it.

"You're next, Tang San."

"How do you know my name?"

"Ah... because you look like Tang San."

Chi Xiu reached out with one hand toward Tang San.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Tang San lowered his brows. It won't be that easy to catch me.

"First Soul Skill, Entangling!"

Chi Xiu grabbed the vines and gave them a light squeeze. The vines instantly shattered!

He swiftly caught one vine flying toward him, flicked his wrist lightly, and wrapped it around Tang San, who was fleeing with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Then he pulled, dragging Tang San back to where he had just been, his face full of surprise.

"Second Soul Skill, Parasitism!"

Tang San silently activated it.

But suddenly, the vines filling the sky did not grow from Chi Xiu's body. Instead, they burst out from Tang San's own body!

Looking at Tang San, who had trapped himself in midair, Chi Xiu clapped his hands and slowly said:

"You're too slow. I tossed every single seed you secretly scattered back onto you."

After saying that, he walked toward Zhao Wuji.

"You're next."

Zhao Wuji had yet to react, because Chi Xiu had resolved the entire fight in barely three seconds.

Tang San lasting more than two seconds by himself was already pretty good.
