Shuriken Technique

News that Mo Bai was going to duel Teacher Mo Na quickly spread.

Before long, the training grounds had filled with students and teachers.

They were all curious—how had Mo Bai ended up dueling Teacher Mo Na?

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and even Master had come out of curiosity.

"Dean, why are Mo Bai and Teacher Mo Na having a duel? Mo Bai is no match for Teacher Mo Na at all!"

Master came to the Dean's side and pressed for an answer.

"Master, you'll see soon enough. Mo Bai was the one who requested the duel. I'm also curious whether he can truly defeat Teacher Mo Na!"

The Dean smiled at his words.

"Mo Bai was the one who asked for it?"

Master was immediately surprised.

"That's right. Mo Bai has reached level 20 as well. This time, he said he wanted to hunt a Blade Arm Mantis Spirit Ring, but I disagreed. Then he said he wanted to prove it to me through a duel!"

The Dean briefly explained what had happened.

"If he said that, then he must be confident he can defeat Teacher Mo Na? But how is that possible?"

Master was once again astonished.

"Master thinks it's impossible too, right?"

The Dean asked again.

"Yes. If we consider only his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and the First Spirit Ring he absorbed, I don't think he can defeat Teacher Mo Na!"

After thinking it over, Master nodded.

However, he did not speak too absolutely, because he knew that Mo Bai possessed Twin Martial Souls. If Mo Bai used his other Martial Soul in battle, then it was still possible for him to defeat Teacher Mo Na!

"Tang San, do you think Mo Bai can beat Teacher Mo Na?"

Over on the students' side, Xiao Wu asked Tang San as well.

"I heard Mo Bai was the one who requested the duel, so he should be able to, right?"

Tang San thought for a moment before answering.

"Really? I think that since Mo Bai dared to do this, he must be able to win too. But how can he possibly beat Teacher Mo Na?"

"With his Martial Soul and First Spirit Skill, it's simply impossible!"

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, yet she still could not figure it out.

"Maybe Mo Bai has something else hidden up his sleeve. He might reveal it in this battle!"

Like Master, Tang San thought Mo Bai might use his Twin Martial Souls.

This made Tang San somewhat nervous. If Mo Bai revealed that he had Twin Martial Souls, it would mean he was no longer hiding them. Would he still help Tang San keep his secret?

But when he recalled what his teacher had told him, Tang San relaxed.

His teacher had told him that his Twin Martial Souls would be exposed sooner or later, and that it was nothing serious even if they were exposed. Even if Mo Bai told others, it would not matter. For now, he simply should not casually reveal that his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

Moreover, even if he did reveal that his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, his teacher had said he could protect Tang San from whatever trouble it might bring.

Although he did not know what kind of trouble revealing his second Martial Soul would cause, since his teacher had said so, Tang San chose to trust him!

Besides the Dean, Master, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, the other students were also discussing it among themselves.

At the center of the training grounds, Mo Bai and Mo Na were finally about to begin their duel.

Everyone stopped talking and watched their duel curiously.

"Mo Na, level 19 Spirit Master. Martial Soul: Short Blade!"

"Mo Bai, level 20 Spirit Master. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass!"

After both sides announced their levels and Martial Souls according to the rules, they each summoned their Martial Souls.

Teacher Mo Na's was a small knife, with nothing remarkable about it.

Although the Blue Silver Grass Mo Bai summoned had become somewhat unlike Blue Silver Grass, it was still just a blade of grass and equally unremarkable.

"Mo Bai, be careful!"

Teacher Mo Na held his short blade and gave Mo Bai a warning.

"Come at me, Teacher!"

As he spoke, Mo Bai reached out and plucked the leaves from the Blue Silver Grass in his hand one by one, gathering them in his palm.

Mo Bai's actions left everyone present stunned, unable to understand what he was doing.

Only Tang San's expression changed as he looked at the Blue Silver Grass leaves Mo Bai had gathered in his hand. The first thing that came to his mind was hidden weapons.

"Could Mo Bai know hidden weapons too? Is he going to use Blue Silver Grass leaves as hidden weapons?"

"How could this be?"

Tang San's eyes widened as he tried to see whether Mo Bai's next response would truly be what he had guessed!

"What are you doing?"

Teacher Mo Na was also surprised by Mo Bai's actions and asked aloud.

"Just attack, Teacher!"

Mo Bai offered no explanation, merely telling Teacher Mo Na to attack.

"Alright, then be careful, Mo Bai!"

Seeing Mo Bai say this, Teacher Mo Na stopped asking questions. Something strange was clearly afoot. He might be simple-minded, but he was not stupid. Mo Bai's bizarre behavior also made him take things seriously.

He had no intention of losing to a student!

Whoosh~

Without using a soul skill right away, Teacher Mo Na moved with a short blade in hand and charged at Mo Bai.

Whoosh~

The moment Teacher Mo Na moved, Mo Bai moved as well, flicking a leaf directly along Teacher Mo Na's path of advance.

The instant the leaf left Mo Bai's hand, it became a thin blue streak and arrived before Teacher Mo Na in the blink of an eye.

"Not good!"

Teacher Mo Na was startled and hurriedly raised the short blade in his hand to block it.

Clang~

A crisp sound rang out. Teacher Mo Na had blocked Mo Bai's attack, but his advance had also been halted by Mo Bai.

"What was that?"

Teacher Mo Na looked at Mo Bai in astonishment and asked, temporarily not continuing his attack.

"It really was a hidden weapon?"

In the distance, Tang San's body jolted as he stared wide-eyed at what had just happened.

Not just him—every teacher and student present had been astonished by Mo Bai's move.

"What was that just now?"

"A soul skill?"

"He threw a leaf like a weapon?"

"Could that even hurt someone?"

"..."

Everyone murmured among themselves.

"Teacher Mo Na, that was a soul skill I created myself: Shuriken Technique!"

"And after absorbing the Sword Bamboo Spirit Ring, every leaf of my Blue Silver Grass has become a weapon!"

"You attacked just now. Now it's my turn!"

"Be careful, Teacher!"

Mo Bai proudly explained his handiwork.

He was also explaining it for everyone else to hear, including Tang San.

For now, he did not want to reveal too much, so he would simply call it an attack method he had created himself.

The name Shuriken Technique was quite fitting.

The Hidden Weapon Technique Mo Bai used was also extremely rudimentary, as though it were an attack method that had only just been invented.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Bai continuously flung sword leaves at Teacher Mo Na, repeatedly using his so-called Shuriken Technique!

Faced with Mo Bai's unceasing attacks, Teacher Mo Na repeatedly dodged or blocked them with the short blade in his hand.

The power of Mo Bai's Shuriken Technique was already enough to injure him, so he did not dare fail to evade.

For a time, he was in quite a sorry state.
