' Blue Silver Grass is currently too weak. It's okay against weaker Soul Master, but it's completely ineffective against genius-level Soul Master of the same rank!'
The last duel had taught Tang San this lesson. Knowing the huge difference in their Martial Soul, he did not feel slighted this time just because You Xing did not release his Martial Soul.
Because that is indeed the truth!
If he only had Blue Silver Grass, he definitely couldn't beat You Xing now!
But...
' Hidden Weapon are my true power! Last time, Hidden Weapon ran out of them because I wasn't prepared. But this time, the outcome will be different!'
The last time he suffered such a crushing defeat, it was a defeat against overwhelming odds... No matter how unwilling Tang San may be to admit it, this fact will not change.
The question is, could the proud Tang San accept being completely powerless to resist and utterly defeated by someone his own age?
That's obviously impossible!
At this moment, two extremely suitable reasons naturally emerged, becoming a stepping stone for Tang San's mind.
One factor is age.
You Xing was three years older than him after all! In the early stages of Soul Master's cultivation, the significance of three years is self-evident!
But how could Tang San possibly accept such a reason?
He had clearly seen that You Xing had only activated his Martial Soul Possession because of the large number of enemies at that time, but in reality, You Xing had already completely suppressed him without using Martial Soul Possession!
Three years of training have yielded significant improvements in physical growth, Soul Power Level, and combat skills and experience!
Physical growth... As a Beast Martial Soul Master, You Xing doesn't even need Martial Soul Possession anymore. What else is there to say about this?
In terms of Soul Power, Tang San Innate Full Soul Power! As far as he knew, You Xing's Innate Soul Power level was definitely not Innate Full Soul Power! As One-Ring Soul Master, the difference was definitely not that great.
As for combat experience? Tang San knew perfectly well that his experience from his previous life gave him an advantage in this area!
Even so, it was still a complete defeat!
Others can comfort themselves with age, but how can Tang San comfort himself with age?
Then...
'It must be because I didn't use Hidden Weapon that I lost!'
This became the best reason.
Tang San rapidly approached You Xing, closing the distance, silently adjusting the Hidden Weapon in his sleeve to a ready-to-fire state, his gaze sharp: ' You Xing, I'll show you that in front of me, you're not even qualified to hold back your Martial Soul!'
Tang San was full of fighting spirit, but under the operation of the orthodox Daoist Xuan Mysterious Heaven Skill, he was extremely calm.
He didn't immediately unleash Hidden Weapon as he had in his inner monologue. Instead, he swung his right hand, employing the technique of Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and the Blue Silver Grass was flung out at lightning speed like splitting vines.
An outsider might have commented something like, "Is this the same old trick again? Don't you know it doesn't work on me?!"
Although You Xing, or rather, the actual You Chen himself, believed this in his heart, he would not say such things that were inconsistent with his character.
His approach was simple and direct. He completely ignored the Blue Silver Grass that was covering his face, clenched his fist, and threw a punch directly at Tang San's location!
Not only did the fist move, but the legs also moved. You Xing took the initiative to meet Tang San's speed boost, making this punch both fast and ruthless!
Having already become familiar with You Xing's power, Tang San was naturally not intimidated by his might.
He manipulated the Blue Silver Grass with one hand, making it twist and turn in mid-air, avoiding a direct collision with You Xing's fist, and instead Entanglement around his arm.
Tang San's eyes flashed with a sharp light: 'Let your own power bind you, You Xing! First Soul Skill, Entanglement!'
With the enhancement of the Soul Skill, the binding force of the Blue Silver Grass increases significantly, which means that unless You Xing Martial Soul Possession, he cannot easily break free from the binding force of the Blue Silver Grass!
With Tang San's skillful technique, Tang San only needed to use his Soul Power to enhance the toughness of the Blue Silver Grass, without paying too much attention to its binding force, to turn You Xing's fist force back and pull the Blue Silver Grass, thus firmly gripping You Xing's arm!
Seeing Tang San's actions, You Xing nodded slightly. As expected of the de facto number one genius of the Tang Sect, such skill in applying force was indeed beyond the reach of a researcher specializing in theory and research.
The ability to control one's Soul Power can be developed through research and daily training without the need for combat or sparring. However, things that are more related to martial arts and techniques require real combat experience, so he never forces himself to develop this ability.
Anyway... this kind of thing doesn't touch on the essence of the power in this world, so it's enough to use it.
You Xing simply stopped struggling against the Blue Silver Grass. Seeing that the Blue Silver Grass had absorbed and neutralized almost all the force of his fist, he simply withdrew his strength and then suddenly pulled the Blue Silver Grass toward himself.
You Xing isn't good at this technique, but his fighting spirit is absolutely top-notch.
Anyone else could make the same choice if they calmed down, but it would be difficult to do it with the decisiveness and efficiency of You Xing.
Tang San was also surprised by You Xing's quick judgment. Feeling his body being pulled by a strong force, he instantly separated the part of Blue Silver Grass that had grown out.
Without Tang San's Soul Power support, the values of these Blue Silver Grass naturally dropped significantly, losing their previous resilience. You Xing casually tugged at them, and they fell to the ground.
While You Xing was dealing with the Blue Silver Grass vines in his hands, Tang San neither approached further nor retreated further.
However, it was accumulating power and released more than ten lush and well-developed Blue Silver Grass vines in one go.
Looking at the overwhelming Blue Silver Grass, and seeing Tang San was willing to do such a "useless" thing at the cost of a lot of Soul Power, You Xing instantly understood Tang San's idea.
'Right now, right now, in this place.'
You Xing pretended not to notice Tang San's thoughts and maintained the normal response of Soul Master. Faced with the choice of either dodging the Blue Silver Grass or using power to clear a path, he chose to dodge.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as You Xing took a big step to escape the Blue Silver Grass area, and his stride became too slow, Tang San, using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step, launched a triple burst of Sleeve Arrow from You Xing's blind spot, aiming for You Xing's back!
All the previous entanglements were just to confuse the public. Even the large amount of Blue Silver Grass created by consuming a lot of Soul Power was still just a smokescreen. Everything was to cover up this final, decisive Hidden Weapon attack!
However, it was as if You Xing had eyes in the back of his head. In an instant, he completed the Martial Soul Possession and put on the Holy Dragon Scale Armor with blue and white as the main colors. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and reached out to grab it!
"What!?"
Tang San's pupils contracted as he stared in astonishment at the three hidden Sleeve Arrow held between You Xing's fingers, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise!
