How Could Xiao Chen Be So Tough? Grandmaster Wanted to Take Him as a Disciple

"Damn it! If Sister Xiao Wu doesn't show her might, do you really think Sister Xiao Wu's legs can't kick people?"

The moment Xiao Wu heard what that student said, she flew into a rage.

She planted her right foot on the chair before her, pointed Xiao Chen's carrot at the other party, and shouted angrily.

Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly spoke again.

"Sister Xiao Wu, that person already has a Soul Ring. In a fair fight, Xiao Chen... Boss really isn't his match. Even if all three of us went together, it would still be hard to win."

"So let's just forget about this."

Although he was extremely unwilling to call Xiao Chen Boss, under Xiao Wu's threatening gaze, Tang San ultimately gritted his teeth and changed his wording.

Xiao Wu was in the middle of a rage right now. He did not want to provoke her and lose the little goodwill she had toward him.

Besides, if Xiao Chen called him over later, there was no telling whether he would also suffer from not having a Soul Ring and get humiliated by that upperclassman.

To be safe, it was better to forget this fight for now. He could find another chance later to cripple that upperclassman.

No one could provoke Tang San and remain safe and sound for the rest of their life!

Slap!

"What do you mean, forget it?"

"I'm talking to you, Tang San. Can you stop disgracing our Seventh Dormitory all the time? We've been insulted, yet you're still shrinking back here. Are you even a man? Coward!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen had already won, yet Tang San was still boosting others' morale and dampening their own spirit, Xiao Wu could no longer hold back.

She slapped Tang San on the head and scolded him.

"..."

At the same time, Xiao Chen, on the second floor of the Cafeteria, slowly extended his right hand.

Seeing this, the student felt utterly dejected.

His provocation had failed!

However, in the next moment, Xiao Chen's outstretched right hand suddenly stopped in front of him.

His five fingers curled inward slightly, full of provocation.

"Since you're that confident, then give it a try."

Xiao Chen naturally knew that the other party's words had been a provocation.

But so what?

He would never let go of an opportunity that had practically been handed to him, one that would let him raise Xiao Wu's favorability!

"You brat, you've got guts! But you'll regret this very soon."

"Watch me—Martial Soul Release!"

Seeing Xiao Chen agree to his request and even take a few steps back to give him enough space, the student immediately roared.

In an instant, fur sprouted across his body, his hands turned into beast claws, and a white Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

A Beast Martial Soul, with a white Ten-Year Soul Ring!

"First Soul Skill, Sharp Claws!"

To recover his dignity, the student went all out from the very start and charged at Xiao Chen.

As he rushed forward, the beast claws on his right hand grew even sharper and slashed directly at Xiao Chen's fist.

"Hahaha, I've received the boost of a Ten-Year Soul Skill. You're finished!"

"Wasn't your fist supposed to be tough? Make it tough again and let me see!"

"You talk too much."

Looking at the student who had already charged in front of him, Xiao Chen merely said that calmly. Then he placed his left hand behind his back and curled the fingers of his right hand into a fist.

At the moment the other party was about to strike him, he casually threw out his right fist and collided head-on with him.

Tai Chi - Force!

Break!

"You actually dare use your fist to block my claws? Hahaha, break? Isn't it your hand that's about to be ruined?"

Seeing Xiao Chen's action, the smug laughter on the student's face immediately became even more unrestrained.

"You really think your fist is tough... Urgh!"

In the next moment, the student who had just been so arrogant turned red in the face.

He felt an inexplicable force burst from Xiao Chen's fist the instant their fist and claw met, tearing through his beast claw and Soul Power all the way.

In the end, it surged into his body, causing a twisting pain in his chest that was unbearable, as though someone had gripped his heart.

Thud!

At some point, the student finally could not hold on any longer. His body went limp, and he fell to his knees before Xiao Chen.

Cold sweat poured down his back, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. He no longer even had the strength to speak.

"Well? Do you still want to test whether my fist is hard enough?"

Xiao Chen spoke calmly from above him as he withdrew Tai Chi - Force.

Only then did the student manage to recover somewhat. Looking exhausted, he asked, "Y-you, what kind of move was that?"

"Yin and yang in harmony, spiraling to break the enemy—Tai Chi - Force."

Xiao Chen expressionlessly uttered those words.

"Tai Chi - Force? I lost... Everything your Seventh Dormitory spends here today is on me."

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, no matter how unwilling he was, the student could only lower his head and admit defeat.

The entire Cafeteria immediately fell silent. One could have heard a pin drop.

Every face was filled with disbelief.

In a normal fight, a dignified upperclassman, a First Ring Soul Master, had actually lost to a work-study student with only Level Ten Soul Power?

And he had been instantly defeated with a single punch...

Could they have been putting on a fake fight?

Otherwise, how could something this absurd possibly happen!

"Xiao Chen really won! I knew it, Xiao Chen is the best!"

Seeing Xiao Chen win, Xiao Wu immediately jumped about in excitement.

Her eyes were filled with admiration as they reflected Xiao Chen's handsome figure, and she felt exceptionally at ease.

Ding! Xiao Wu's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's physical attributes have increased to 30%...

The other members of the Seventh Dormitory also shouted along with her.

"Boss—awesome!"

Only Tang San silently clenched his fists at the side, saying nothing.

Just like Teacher said, Xiao Wu liked strong people.

From now on, I must work hard and become stronger—stronger than anyone else!

"..."

While the members of the Seventh Dormitory continued cheering, Yu Xiaogang, who had originally planned to step in and stop things after Xiao Chen was crippled, had a look of profound surprise flash through his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, if a kid named Xiao Chen had not caught the attention of the academy's teachers, then his Martial Soul and Soul Power Level could not be particularly strong.

Or perhaps this kid had deliberately hidden his strength and concealed his true abilities!

After all, Xiao Chen looked only a little older than Tang San, yet he had already reached Level Ten so quickly.

Could Xiao Chen also possess Innate Full Soul Power, or Innate Level Nine Soul Power?

Such a child was more suitable than Tang San for testing his theories and was qualified to become his registered disciple.

After all, Tang San's talent and the achievements he could attain in the future were definitely far beyond Xiao Chen's!

Therefore, it was naturally best to let Xiao Chen help Tang San test for mistakes first.

When Tang San acknowledged him as his teacher, he had already revealed his second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Tang surname, the Clear Sky Sect's Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power.

Tang San was definitely a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect!

Moreover, he was very likely the child of some elder within the Clear Sky Sect, with a distinguished status!

As for why Tang San had chosen to hide his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul from the beginning?

Most likely, Tang San's parents were evading pursuit by Spirit Hall, which was why they had been forced to make Tang San conceal his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

He absolutely had to nurture a genius like Tang San, then prove to the entire continent that he was right!

As for Xiao Chen, he was merely an insignificant stepping stone on his and Tang San's path to the peak of the continent.

Tap, tap.

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and walked toward Xiao Chen.

His expression was composed, and his eyes brimmed with confidence.

Next, all he had to do was tell Xiao Chen of his great reputation across the continent, just as he had when taking Tang San as his disciple, along with his accomplishments such as the Ten Core Competitions of Martial Souls.

Then that boy Xiao Chen would definitely be won over by his profound knowledge and immediately acknowledge him as his teacher!

"Xiao Chen..."
