"Yes. I call them hidden weapons..."

Tang San explained hidden weapons to him.

Mo Bai pretended to listen seriously.

"Not bad. It's a very fitting name. I didn't expect this technique wasn't actually my own creation. So it already existed long ago!"

After that, Mo Bai nodded in approval, which counted as accepting the term hidden weapons.

Mo Bai also did not ask whether Tang San had created them himself. His tone was basically treating Tang San as someone who had learned a complete set of hidden weapon skills, assuming he had learned them from someone else.

If he asked, Tang San would have a hard time answering, so he might as well not ask.

He believed Tang San would very much approve of his misunderstanding!

"...Yes, Hidden Weapon Technique has existed for a long time!"

Sure enough, Tang San nodded in agreement, while saying inwardly that it had not existed in this world long ago, but in another world.

"Sure. Through Xiao Wu, I've learned quite a bit too... yes, about using hidden weapons, and I've made some improvements myself!"

"I've also wanted to compare hidden weapons with you for a long time. Only then can I learn even more about hidden weapons!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Mo Bai decisively accepted Tang San's challenge, even showing a hint that he had been looking forward to it for ages.

"..."

Hearing Mo Bai's words, Tang San's expression shifted slightly.

Mo Bai had learned his Hidden Weapon Technique from fighting Xiao Wu and had improved it. Tang San knew all that too.

So to be honest, although he was the one who had challenged Mo Bai, deep down Tang San was not very willing to fight Mo Bai. He was worried Mo Bai would learn even more of his Hidden Weapon Technique.

Mo Bai's talent with hidden weapons shook even him.

Just from fighting Xiao Wu, he had actually managed to learn, master, and improve them.

Tang San had never even heard of such talent.

In the end, however, Tang San still did not go back on his word and went with Mo Bai to the academy training field.

At that moment, there happened to be no one else on the training field. Only Xiao Wu had followed them over.

Tang San wanted to prove to Xiao Wu that his hidden weapons were stronger, so of course he had called Xiao Wu along too!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Both of you, do your best!"

"Let's see whose hidden weapons are stronger!"

After they arrived at the training field, Xiao Wu excitedly urged the two of them on.

Mo Bai and Tang San looked at each other, then both walked onto the training field.

"Blue Silver has spirit, endless and unceasing!"

Mo Bai walked while chanting the incantation in an ethereal, magnetic voice.

The incantation was not necessary, but Mo Bai felt that chanting it gave him more style, so he used it.

As Mo Bai stepped forward, one Blue Silver Grass after another grew where his feet had passed. Their leaves spun free, finally gathering around Mo Bai and constantly rotating.

This was also an ability Mo Bai had developed after becoming more and more practiced in using Blue Silver Grass.

Mo Bai no longer needed to pluck the leaves of Blue Silver Grass one by one. He could directly control them to hover by his side, and when he needed to use them, he only had to casually pick up a leaf and throw it out as a hidden weapon.

Not only was it much more convenient, it was also much, much cooler!

This did not count as a Soul Skill. It was only a kind of control over Blue Silver Grass. Mo Bai called it Blue Silver Dance.

And this was also the first time Mo Bai had displayed it.

"So amazing..."

Seeing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she cried out in surprise again and again.

Putting aside whether it was powerful or not, she simply felt that the way Mo Bai plucked Blue Silver Grass leaves like this looked so handsome.

"Blue Silver Grass can actually be controlled like this!"

Seeing this, Tang San's expression also shifted slightly. He was somewhat surprised. He also had Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul, so Tang San knew that doing this was not that simple. It required very strong control over the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

He could not perform Mo Bai's Blue Silver Dance, but Tang San felt that if he practiced a little, he should also be able to do it. It was just that it was of no use to him.

He could even use Controlling Crane Catching Dragon to directly create this effect.

Mo Bai quickly picked up several leaves with both hands, holding them between his fingers, then said to Tang San, "Mo Bai, rank 22 Great Soul Master!"

After Mo Bai finished speaking, Tang San also slowly stepped out. He pressed both hands against the Soul Tool at his waist, and two hidden weapons forged from metal appeared in Tang San's hands. "Tang San, rank 22 Great Soul Master!"

Compared with Mo Bai's Blue Silver Dance, Tang San's was much simpler, though it did look more capable and efficient.

"Soul Tool!"

Seeing Tang San's movement, Mo Bai's eyes also changed.

Tang San actually had a Soul Tool with storage space. This was a divine storage tool. Having read so many novels and watched so many animations, the real Mo Bai was seeing one for the first time too.

To say he was not envious would really be impossible!

"Since we're comparing hidden weapons, I won't use my Martial Soul, and you can't use your Soul Ring or Soul Skills either. No problem, right?"

Tang San looked at Mo Bai and stated the rules.

"No problem!"

Mo Bai naturally had no objections.

"Stars Chase the Moon!"

As soon as the words fell, Mo Bai made the first move!

The Blue Silver Grass leaves held between the fingers of both hands were all thrown toward Tang San.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss—

One of the leaves was the fastest, rushing at the very front, while seven or eight leaves closely followed behind it at a relatively slower speed. They looked as if they were chasing the leaf in front.

This was a kind of Hidden Weapon Technique.

When the enemy first focused their attention on the fastest hidden weapon, they would be deceived.

The true killing move lay in the hidden weapons behind it. When they approached the enemy, their speed would all surpass the hidden weapon in front.

This move might be useful against others, but against Tang San, it was clearly impossible for it to work.

Clang clang clang~~~

Tang San was not deceived by the hidden weapon in front at all. Using the hidden weapons in his hands, he easily blocked all of Mo Bai's attacks.

"Sub-Mother Soul Chasing Night!"

Seeing that his attack had been blocked, Mo Bai once again used a Hidden Weapon Technique.

Originally, this technique was performed with nails and was called Sub-Mother Soul Chasing Nail. It looked like one nail, but in reality, other child nails were hidden within it, only scattering at the very end and catching the enemy off guard.

Mo Bai used leaves to perform it, so he changed its name to Sub-Mother Soul Chasing Leaf. It was just that Soul Chasing Leaf did not sound good, so Mo Bai replaced it with a homophone. Sub-Mother Soul Chasing Night was more chilling.

Clang clang clang~~~

Tang San continued to easily block Mo Bai's attack.

Watching Mo Bai attack him again and again with the Hidden Weapon Technique he had taught Xiao Wu, and use it with consummate skill, Tang San had an indescribable feeling.

This was someone openly using the Hidden Weapon Technique he had secretly learned from him to attack him!

If Tang San had not been familiar with this technique himself, he really would have been tricked.

"Next, it's my turn!"

Tang San said coldly, and his hands instantly threw out a hail of hidden weapons, attacking Mo Bai.
