The Mask Falls, Xiao Wu Sees Chi Xiu's True Face!

Chi Xiu walked toward Zhao Wuji. Dai Mubai, who had been sitting to one side resting, suddenly changed expression. Clutching his chest, he hurriedly moved away, terrified that Chi Xiu would come looking for trouble with him.

Zhao Wuji, meanwhile, watched Chi Xiu with a complicated expression. He had roamed the world for so many years and taught at Shrek Academy for just as many.

To be honest, the youth before him was the one who could truly be called a monster.

But Zhao Wuji's pride would not allow him to voice those thoughts. This youth had beaten his student and acted so arrogantly. If he did not win back his dignity today, who knew how others would talk about him once word got out.

"Which sect are you from? I don't want to injure you and bring trouble upon myself. You'd better make it clear first."

Rubbing his fists together, Zhao Wuji walked to the center of the field. He did not want to be hunted everywhere by Spirit Hall as he had been back then. This kid looked like he had some background, perhaps even a powerful faction behind him. It was best to find out first.

Chi Xiu shrugged. "Don't worry. You can't hurt me."

Zhao Wuji was momentarily speechless, then could not help clenching his fists. "What an arrogant brat. Have you never suffered a setback before?"

"I really haven't."

"..."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Wu covered her mouth and laughed at Chi Xiu's reply.

"Hey, you know him, right?"

She reached out and poked Ning Rongrong.

The latter gave her a wary look. "I do. What about it?"

"What level is his Soul Power, exactly? And why is he wearing a mask? It feels strange."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, staring at Chi Xiu with a complicated look. "No one knows his Soul Power level, and no one has ever seen what he looks like. Even his parents have forgotten what he looks like..."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu warily again and emphasized, "Chi Xiu-gege is mine. What are you trying to do?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "You're really stingy. Can't I even ask out of curiosity?"

"You can ask, but don't get any ideas about him."

"As if."

The two girls' auras were evenly matched, while Zhu Zhuqing merely watched the center of the field in silence.

She was not familiar with Chi Xiu, but she did not want Zhao Wuji to win. Because of her own experiences, Zhu Zhuqing hated people who bullied the weak with their strength. In her eyes, Zhao Wuji was exactly that kind of person.

"Still not releasing your Martial Soul?"

Zhao Wuji stared intently at Chi Xiu.

Chi Xiu replied calmly, "You are not worthy of seeing it."

"You brat, I suffered back then precisely because I was too arrogant. Everyone has been young and hot-blooded before. But that's fine. I'll teach you this lesson today."

After speaking, Zhao Wuji released his Martial Soul. He did not dare be careless. This youth's Martial Soul and Soul Power were both unknown. Perhaps he was a Soul Elder like Mubai, or even a Soul Ancestor. If he did not use his Martial Soul, the crushing effect would not be as obvious.

If he was going to win back his dignity, he had to do it in crushing fashion!

A giant bear possessed him. Zhao Wuji roared twice, then swung both hands, now transformed into bear claws, forward with force.

"Vajra Palm!"

Chi Xiu's eyes narrowed. This was his first time seeing a bear-type Martial Soul with such speed. Perhaps Sun Dabao had brainwashed him into thinking all bears were slow.

In an instant, Zhao Wuji arrived before Chi Xiu. His bear palm, carrying tremendous force, came crashing down. Chi Xiu leaned backward as crimson lightning condensed around his calves, easily evading the strike.

"Gravity Enhancement!"

"Let's see how you dodge now, brat!"

Chi Xiu curled his lips. What use was enhanced gravity against someone with sufficiently strong physical qualities?

He spun around Zhao Wuji like a top, slipping behind him. His right hand hooked around Zhao Wuji's neck from behind, then he threw him down with force!

The onlookers' eyes widened. Using his shoulder as the pivot, Chi Xiu directly gave Zhao Wuji what looked like a bone-shattering shoulder throw!

"Boom!"

A deep crater was smashed into the ground.

Zhao Wuji lay inside it blankly.

He was not injured, only somewhat dazed.

Even under the effects of gravity, the youth had thrown him over his shoulder without using Soul Power. How terrifyingly strong did his waist and forearm have to be?

As Zhao Wuji's thoughts ran wild, his eyes suddenly widened. A fist was slowly enlarging before his eyes!

"Boom!"

Chi Xiu's plain, unadorned punch came down, making even the ground tremble.

Zhao Wuji barely dodged it, his heart filled with shock.

Damn it, I'm a Soul Saint! What's with suddenly chickening out?

With that thought, he immediately slapped the ground and sprang to his feet in one motion.

Chi Xiu slowly stepped aside and looked up at Zhao Wuji's body as it rose into the air.

"Sixth Soul Skill! Vajra Roar!"

After landing, Zhao Wuji's feet sank into the ground. Opening his mouth toward Chi Xiu, he unleashed an immensely destructive sonic attack!

"Roar!"

Tang San and the others hurriedly covered their ears from outside the field.

Chi Xiu turned slightly sideways, extending his right arm toward Zhao Wuji with his fingers spread open. A faint layer of seven-colored light surfaced over the back of his hand.

What was astonishing was that when the immensely destructive sound waves reached Chi Xiu, his palm forcibly split them apart, sending them scattering to either side. Chi Xiu himself stood in the middle, completely untouched by the sound waves.

"You can do that?"

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened in utter disbelief. This was his Sixth Soul Skill!

That youth had blocked it with just one hand?

But that seven-colored light was...

Before Zhao Wuji could see clearly, Chi Xiu launched an attack this time. He closed the distance at high speed, still throwing nothing more than a plain, unadorned punch.

Zhao Wuji was greatly alarmed.

"Gravity Crush!"

It was useless.

What he crushed was Chi Xiu's afterimage left behind in place...

Chi Xiu vanished from where he stood, leaving crimson lightning drifting through the air. By the time Zhao Wuji came to his senses, that plain, unadorned fist had already appeared before him.

"Damn it, can I really lose to you in strength?!"

Zhao Wuji refused to believe it. His right hand rapidly swelled and became covered by a bear paw as it shot toward Chi Xiu as well.

Chi Xiu smiled.

Sorry, but six years ago, I could already throw a punch with ten tons of force!

The two fists collided!

"Boom!"

Zhao Wuji was sent flying, his body crashing through several trees before finally coming to a stop.

Chi Xiu performed a backflip in midair, easily dispersing the remaining force on his body. But at that moment, something black fell from him.

The shockwave knocked the people around them to the ground one after another. Only Tang San reacted in time, using Blue Silver Vines to grab Xiao Wu's arm and pull her several steps back.

After steadying herself, Xiao Wu looked down, hurriedly shook off Tang San's hand, and put some distance between them.

At that very moment, Chi Xiu happened to land in front of Xiao Wu.

He rose from one knee, shoulder-length black hair falling loose around him. There was no mask on his face, revealing features that had only ever been shown in the beds of different beauties.

Xiao Wu instinctively froze for a moment at his breathtaking appearance.

But she quickly remembered something, let out a startled cry, and immediately covered her mouth.

Chi Xiu frowned slightly and raised a hand to touch his cheek in confusion.

The mask fell off!

"You are..."

Xiao Wu pointed at Chi Xiu, too shocked to speak. Even after six years, she still remembered what Chi Xiu looked like.

This was the only person back then who knew her identity!

"You have mistaken me for someone else."

Chi Xiu spoke softly. He beckoned backward, and scales shimmering with seven-colored light emerged across his skin.

Dragon God Third Soul Skill: Earth Attribute!

The ground instantly rose into an earthen spike, pushing the mask toward Chi Xiu. He caught it in his hand and quickly put it back on his face.
