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

Before long, a large number of students and teachers had gathered on the training grounds.

They were all curious—why was Mo Bai going to duel Teacher Mo Na?

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and even Grandmaster had come to watch 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!"

Grandmaster came over to the Dean and pressed him for an answer.

"Just watch and you'll see, Grandmaster. Mo Bai was the one who requested the duel. I'm also curious whether he can really defeat Teacher Mo Na!"

The Dean smiled at that.

"It was Mo Bai who requested it?"

Grandmaster 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 soul 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?"

Grandmaster was surprised once more.

"Grandmaster, you also think it's impossible, don't you?"

The Dean asked again.

"Yes. If we're only considering his Blue Silver Grass spirit and the First Soul Ring he absorbed, I don't believe he can defeat Teacher Mo Na!"

After thinking for a moment, Grandmaster nodded.

However, he did not state it too absolutely, because he knew Mo Bai possessed Twin Spirits. If Mo Bai used his other spirit in battle, then he might very well defeat Teacher Mo Na!

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

Among the students, Xiao Wu also asked Tang San.

"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.

"Is that so? I also think that if Mo Bai dared to do this, he must have a way to win. But how can he beat Teacher Mo Na?"

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

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

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

Like Grandmaster, Tang San also thought Mo Bai might use his Twin Spirits.

That made Tang San feel somewhat nervous. If Mo Bai revealed his Twin Spirits, it would mean he was no longer hiding them. Would he still be willing to keep Tang San's secret?

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

His teacher had told him that his Twin Spirits would be exposed sooner or later. It was nothing if they were exposed, and even if Mo Bai told others, it would not matter. For now, he simply should not casually reveal that his second spirit was the Haotian Hammer.

Moreover, even if he revealed that his second spirit was the Haotian Hammer, his teacher had said he could protect Tang San from whatever trouble it brought.

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

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

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

Everyone stopped talking and watched the two with curiosity.

"Mo Na, level 19 Soul Master. My spirit is a short knife!"

"Mo Bai, level 20 Soul Master. My spirit is Blue Silver Grass!"

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

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, equally unremarkable.

"Student Mo Bai, be careful!"

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

"Please 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 shifted. Seeing the Blue Silver Grass leaves gathered in Mo Bai's hand, the first thing that came to his mind was hidden weapons.

"Could it be that Mo Bai also knows hidden weapons? Is he going to use the Blue Silver Grass leaves as hidden weapons?"

"How could this be possible?"

Tang San's eyes widened at once, wanting to see whether Mo Bai's next response would truly be what he had guessed!

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Mo Bai's actions, Teacher Mo Na asked in surprise.

"Please go ahead and attack, Teacher!"

Mo Bai offered no explanation, only urged Teacher Mo Na to attack.

"Alright, then be careful, Mo Bai!"

Since Mo Bai had said so, Teacher Mo Na stopped asking questions. Something unusual was bound to have a reason. He might have been simple-minded, but he was not foolish. Mo Bai's strange 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 his Short Knife in hand and charged toward Mo Bai.

Whoosh~

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

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

"Not good!"

Teacher Mo Na was startled and hurriedly raised his Short Knife to block it.

Clang~

With a crisp ring, Teacher Mo Na blocked Mo Bai's attack, but his advance was halted as well.

"What was that?"

Teacher Mo Na looked at Mo Bai in astonishment and did not continue attacking for the moment.

"Was that really a hidden weapon?"

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

It was not just him. Every teacher and student present was shocked by Mo Bai's move.

"What was that just now?"

"A Soul Skill?"

"He used a leaf as a weapon?"

"Could that even hurt someone?"

"..."

The crowd murmured among themselves.

"Teacher Mo Na, that was a Soul Skill I created myself—the Shuriken Technique!"

"After absorbing the Sword Bamboo Soul Ring, every leaf of my Blue Silver Grass became a weapon!"

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

"Be careful, Teacher!"

Mo Bai proudly explained his handiwork.

At the same time, he was explaining it for everyone else to hear, including Tang San.

For now, he did not want to reveal too much, so he might as well call it a self-created method of attack.

The Shuriken Technique lived up to its name.

The Hidden Weapon Technique Mo Bai used was also extremely basic, as though it were a method of attack 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 dodged again and again or used his Short Knife to block them.

Mo Bai's Shuriken Technique was already powerful enough to injure him, so he did not dare to simply ignore it.

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