To set Tang San up, Luo Chen had to seal his Soul Power or bind him in the middle of the fight, without letting Tang San know he was behind it.

For Luo Chen, that was no difficult task.

A few days ago, Luo Chen had added Earth Release. It had now reached 800 proficiency, allowing him to use some basic Earth Release techniques. It should be enough to catch Tang San off guard.

With the Infinite Ninjutsu System, Luo Chen's various releases were not restricted by ninjutsu limitations. As long as he added Earth Release or Lightning Release and raised them to a certain level of proficiency—

He could directly use every ninjutsu within that proficiency range, as well as all kinds of lightning or the various forms and nature transformations of earth.

Luo Chen's Lightning Release had already reached Level 2. He could use Small Chidori, and within the scope of Small Chidori-level Lightning Release, he could use any ninjutsu or manipulate lightning however he wished. It was merely a matter of how much Soul Power it consumed.

With the replenishment of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his Soul Power was inexhaustible. He was practically invincible.

Luo Chen was delighted. Tang San still dared compete with him for women? Let's see whether Xiao Wu would still like him after he got beaten like a dog this afternoon.

That afternoon, Tang San really had Wang Sheng send word to Xiao Laoda from six years ago. As soon as school ended, Tang San swaggered toward the woods behind the academy with Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, Luo Chen, and everyone from Dorm 7.

The fight had already been arranged. Xiao Laoda had brought his people and was waiting for them there.

Looking at Tang San, then at Xiao Wu, Xiao Laoda said disdainfully, "You poor work-study students dare challenge my people? Since you want a beating, I'll play with you. All of you can come at once. I'll only send out two people. Whoever loses has to call the other side Dad. Dare or not?"

Tang San stepped forward and said confidently, "No need. I'll handle all of you by myself."

"What? You brat, you're really arrogant." Xiao Laoda sized Tang San up, seemingly a little unsure now. He then instructed Liu Long beside him, "You go first. Teach this bastard a lesson."

"Fine! Hah!" Liu Long shouted. "Liu Long has arrived!"

Liu Long immediately summoned his martial soul—a lousy stick. Like some monkey performer, he leaped to the front, pointed his stick at Tang San, and said, "You? You want to fight all of us alone? Watch me beat you to your knees and make you call me Dad."

"Hmph, just you?" Seeing how arrogant and foolish Liu Long looked, Tang San also despised him somewhat.

Tang San took a few steps forward and looked coldly at Liu Long. "Make your move. I'll let you attack first."

Luo Chen watched from the back and could not help thinking, You're putting on airs again. Let's see if you can keep it up today.

Still, Liu Long was disgusting enough. He would deal with him later.

"You're still letting me attack first? Watch me beat you to your knees!" Liu Long swung his stick down and launched his attack on Tang San.

Tang San wanted to show off, of course, so he would not end the fight too quickly. He began dodging nimbly, flaunting his footwork.

Everyone was standing on the soil of the small forest. Luo Chen placed both hands behind his back. He did not need hand seals to perform any ninjutsu; releasing Soul Power was enough.

The next second, a stone wrapped in earth suddenly sprang up after being struck by Liu Long's stick and hit Tang San's acupoint perfectly.

Luo Chen had spent time in a martial arts world. How could he not understand the human body's acupoints and acupoint-sealing techniques?

This acupoint could restrict a person's internal energy. It was the perfect target.

Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to strike. Internal energy was naturally the same as Soul Power. Even though Tang San had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he only had Soul Power in the teens. There was no way he could break through the acupoint's restraint in such a short time.

"What? This..." Tang San's incredible speed came from Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, but Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track also consumed Soul Power. Its essence was simply attaching Soul Power to his feet.

The moment his Soul Power was restricted, Tang San's speed instantly slowed. In those few seconds, Liu Long struck him several times in a row.

"You idiot, and you were still showing off? You wanted to fight all of us? I'll beat you to death!" Liu Long's Soul Power had not yet reached Level 10, but he was still someone with Soul Power. His blows were quite painful against Tang San, whose Soul Power had been sealed.

Without Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San could not evade Liu Long's stick at all. People's reaction speeds were similar to begin with. Tang San gritted his teeth in fury and endured the pain, only to find that he still could not use the Soul Power in his body. Naturally, he knew that his acupoints had been sealed.

Poor Tang San simply could not understand why a stone casually kicked up by Liu Long's stick had managed to strike his acupoint with such pinpoint accuracy. The odds of that were less than one in ten thousand.

In truth, this kind of acupoint-sealing technique could not restrain people with high Soul Power levels at all. Once a Soul Master reached Level 30 or above, no matter which acupoint was struck, their Soul Power could not be completely sealed.

But the current Tang San, even in a martial arts world, would only be a minor nobody. Of course acupoint sealing worked on him.

After his acupoints were sealed, if Tang San wanted to use Soul Power again, along with Xuan Yu Hand and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he first had to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill to break through the sealed acupoint. But he could not focus on that at all right now, because he was getting beaten.

"Damn it, how can that idiot be so lucky? I..."

Unable to use his Soul Power, Tang San could only keep blocking and take the hits. The stick in Liu Long's hand was also a martial soul, and Liu Long had eight or nine levels of Soul Power. After enduring it for a while, Tang San was beginning to find the pain unbearable.

"Hey, Tang San seems unable to win. We're going to lose. Let Xiao Wu go up." Xiao Wu's snow-white leg had just moved forward when Luo Chen grabbed her and said, "Don't worry. How could Tang San possibly lose to a nobody like him? Maybe he just wants to play around."

Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San, who was still getting beaten, and said doubtfully, "I think so too. There's no way he should lose to Liu Long, but I don't know what's going on. He's crying out in pain. Why isn't he fighting back?"

"It's fine. Maybe he wants to practice Golden Bell Cover." Luo Chen appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was nearly laughing out loud. This was too satisfying.

That earth-wrapped stone had naturally been controlled by Luo Chen with Earth Release. He had waited for the exact moment Liu Long smashed his stick into the ground, leaving no flaw whatsoever. As a former martial arts world super expert, striking an acupoint with a pebble he could freely control was far too easy for Luo Chen.

"This is bad, Chen Ge. San Ge really looks like he can't hold on much longer. Should I go help him?" Wang Sheng looked over and prepared to intervene as well.

Luo Chen hurriedly said, "Wait a little longer. Tang San said he would handle it himself. How can we steal his spotlight?"

After saying that, Luo Chen nearly laughed again. He really was a little too wicked. The key was that Tang San would never suspect that he was the one behind it.

Tang San was still getting beaten. He tried summoning his Blue Silver Grass again. Though he could release it, he could not use any soul skills with it. It was nothing more than decoration.

Actually, if Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer right now, it would still be somewhat useful. It would be like having an extra hammer. But without Soul Power, he could not even lift the Clear Sky Hammer.

Liu Long, meanwhile, was having more and more fun. Tang San was taking hits nonstop and had no room to retaliate. Several wounds had appeared on his body. Though Tang San cared greatly about his pride, the pain was too much to bear, and he could not help crying out several times. Even so, he was still desperately using the Mysterious Heaven Skill to break through his acupoint, hoping to recover some of his dignity.

Xiao Laoda and the others across from them all burst into laughter and pointed at Tang San.

"You trash, and you were acting tough? You wanted to beat all of us by yourself?"

"Hurry up and kneel down to call us Dad, and I'll spare you..."

"Look at him getting beaten. I thought he was something impressive just now."

Tang San clenched his teeth. He was already nearing his limit, but he still did not want to admit defeat or beg for mercy. That would be far too humiliating. As a transmigrator, when had he ever been this aggrieved?

Tang San knew Xiao Wu was watching from behind him, along with all his brothers. Most importantly, he had taken the initiative to boast at the start that he alone would deal with everyone under Xiao Laoda.

Now he was only slapping himself in the face.

Tang San only wanted to break through the sealed acupoint as quickly as possible, but with merely Soul Power in the teens and while being beaten, how could that be easy?

"If you still don't kneel and call me Dad, I'm going to beat you to death..." Liu Long grew increasingly arrogant.

"This won't do. If this continues, San Ge will really be in trouble. We have to help him..."

Wang Sheng and several dormmates could no longer stand by. Just as they were about to rush forward, Luo Chen immediately stepped in front of them and said righteously, "Let me do it. I misjudged things just now. Tang San seems to have really run into some trouble. I'll go help him immediately and beat those people to a pulp."

After saying that, Luo Chen instantly used Lingbo Microstep and blocked Liu Long in front of the battered, miserable Tang San. He snatched the lousy stick from Liu Long's hand and thought with a smile, Hehe, when it comes to showing off, I should be the one doing it.
