Bewitching Charm VS Asura of a Thousand Hands (Part 2)

Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang San faced each other, neither making the first move. Both sides knew full well that whoever struck first would likely reveal a flaw and give the other an opening.

However, the standoff did not last long before the deadlock was broken.

A scream suddenly rang out from the Scepter Soul Master behind them. Liu Xiaoxiao turned his head and simultaneously flung two moon blades forward, guarding against a sneak attack from Tang San.

The Scepter Soul Master was suddenly bound by strands of Blue Silver Grass, then collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Parasitism... When did he..." Liu Xiaoxiao turned back, no longer paying attention to the Scepter Soul Master.

Though the two moon blades were sharp, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances blocked them, leaving him unharmed.

Liu Xiaoxiao instantly recalled the moon blades, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"If I had support, my Soul Power could gradually recover. But right now, I'm only evenly matched with Tang San at best." Liu Xiaoxiao stared at Tang San. "Using Full Moon would leave us both badly hurt. They have Bat Wing Samsara and Little Fatty, who looks like he has lost the ability to fight, while I have no support and lack the strength to continue. I'd definitely lose."

"But if I use Death's Kiss, it may not work against Tang San, a master of poison." Liu Xiaoxiao pondered. "What other methods do I have?"

The more carefully he considered it, the more helplessly Liu Xiaoxiao realized that he had no other options left.

"Fine. I'll lose either way, so I might as well gamble on it." A trace of madness appeared in Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Like a whirlwind, Liu Xiaoxiao moved. Then he and the two moon blades nearly vanished at the same time, replaced by a white millstone.

Full Moon. Liu Xiaoxiao's Self-Created Soul Skill finally erupted at this moment.

Tang San's eyes lit up. He swallowed an Excited Pink Sausage, and all eight Eight Spider Lances stretched straight out, spinning in the direction opposite to Full Moon as they charged at the enormous millstone.

The first, second, third... The eight Eight Spider Lances collided with Full Moon one after another. Full Moon's speed gradually slowed slightly, but not by much.

The eight Eight Spider Lances shattered one after another. At that moment, Tang San raised the Clear Sky Hammer and used it to block Full Moon's attack.

The collision was ear-piercing. The Clear Sky Hammer flew away, but Full Moon finally came to a stop as well.

Liu Xiaoxiao was not surprised by this outcome. With his Soul Power, he originally should not have been able to achieve such a result. Had it not been for his perfect control over his Soul Power, he would have collapsed during the collision long ago.

Seeing Tang San secretly trying to collect the fragments of the Eight Spider Lances, Liu Xiaoxiao's gaze turned cold. The moon blades flew from his hands and knocked the fragments away.

"How do you still have Soul Power?" Tang San asked.

Liu Xiaoxiao sneered. "That's right. That attack just now did use up all my Soul Power. But from the very beginning, I had stored part of my Soul Power in my External Soul Bone. Now that the two of you have exhausted your Soul Power, how can you fight me? With Bat Wing Samsara?"

Tang San's expression changed. In a low, urgent voice that only the two of them could hear, he asked, "How did you know?"

"Don't waste your effort. When the time is right, I'll naturally tell you." Liu Xiaoxiao said. "For now, you should surrender willingly."

"Not necessarily." Tang San smiled. "Look at the sky."

"What, are you trying to distract me? There's no need for such a pointless trick." As Liu Xiaoxiao spoke, he walked toward Tang San.

At that moment, Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Without a second thought, he hurled the two moon blades in his hands.

Liu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Little Fatty dodge the two moon blades and charge at him.

"I noticed you long ago." Rather than retreating, Liu Xiaoxiao advanced. At the same time, the mist of Death's Kiss spread out once more, engulfing Little Fatty.

In an instant, Little Fatty lost what little fighting strength he had left and was then thrown off the competition platform by Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Hm?" As Liu Xiaoxiao turned around, he suddenly discovered that Tang San, who had been lying on the ground, had vanished.

Looking up at the sky, he saw Tang San hovering in the air, silently watching Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Speedy Flying Mushroom Sausage!" Liu Xiaoxiao immediately understood, unable to stop himself from feeling annoyed. "I was still one move behind!"

Tang San held a fragment of an Eight Spider Lance in his hand. Once he recovered a certain amount of Soul Power, he would be able to unleash Bat Wing Samsara and defeat Liu Xiaoxiao, whose Soul Power was nearly depleted.

Hidden weapons were most effective when launched in secret, but if the enemy had no ability to resist, they could be fired head-on with equally effective results.

Liu Xiaoxiao stared at Tang San, then gave a bitter smile. "I concede."

Liu Xiaoxiao had already exhausted all his Soul Power. There was no point in persisting any longer.

With their Soul Power depleted, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Bewitching Charm could no longer be maintained, splitting back into Liu Xiaoxiao and Hu Liena.

Tang San descended from the air. Due to the Endless Vitality nature of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he had already recovered a portion of his Soul Power.

Tang San gave Liu Xiaoxiao a slight nod, then looked around with a grave expression.

Liu Xiaoxiao also noticed the changes in everyone's expressions. For a moment, an ominous premonition rose from the depths of his heart.

"What happened?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked through telepathy.

"This is bad." Qi Xiaomin said. "And this matter has something to do with you."

"This was destined to happen. Even without him, it probably would have happened anyway." He Qiang said.

"What exactly happened? You're speaking so cryptically that I'm still completely confused." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"Simply put, when you threw Xiao Wu down, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red fell out." Li Hong said.

Liu Xiaoxiao was first stunned, then embarrassed.

He had volunteered to remind Tang San not to let the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in Xiao Wu's arms fall out, yet in the end, he himself had made a mistake.

"You don't need to blame yourself for this. Since it was destined to happen and beyond our power to change, we can only watch. At least we have all achieved our goals." Chen Long said.

Liu Xiaoxiao sighed and stopped dwelling on it.

Just as Liu Xiaoxiao and the others had expected, after the award ceremony ended, Bibi Dong's calm voice rang out. "Have you finished distributing them? Since the rewards have been allocated, this tournament has successfully concluded. Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, take that girl down."

Everything proceeded smoothly, just as Liu Xiaoxiao and the others understood it would.

Xiao Wu's true identity was exposed. Tang San and Xiao Wu confessed their feelings. Clear Sky Douluo fought seven opponents alone, then departed grandly with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The various academies dispersed one after another. Before leaving, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others spoke to one another again in their hearts.

"Five years. We have five years." He Qiang said. "Five years later, we'll meet at Shrek Academy. By then, everyone must be present, including Little Fatty and Lin Bo."

"Over these five years, we must catch up to the Shrek Seven Devils, perhaps even surpass them." Chen Long said. "Our target is Tang San."

"Five years later, we will have an enormous opportunity: Sea God Island." Li Hong said. "Before then, we must raise our strength as quickly as possible to face the trials and challenges ahead."

"Godhood Inheritance, Martial Soul mutations, Spirit Bones and Spirit Rings, Immortal Grade Herbs—these are all things we need." Qi Xiaomin said. "Only through special methods and unorthodox paths can we have even a sliver of hope."

"Being content with the status quo is never good. Ordinary cultivation cannot make us advance by leaps and bounds." Fan Yihuang said. "Only through training and adventure can we grow stronger. Don't forget, our ultimate goal is to become gods."

"We only have five years. I hope that when we meet again, every one of us will have made tremendous progress." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

In the shadows, Lin Bo sneered coldly.

"Those guys may become obstacles in my path. Looks like I'll need to put in a little effort."
