Level Overtakes

Ding ding ding ding~~

The ringing clash of metal on metal went on without end!

On Notting Academy's training field, Mo Bai and Tang San traded hidden weapons back and forth.

Beside Mo Bai, a stalk of Blue Silver Grass would sprout from time to time. Then its leaves would curl and detach, flying around Mo Bai before finally being fired by him as hidden weapons.

On Tang San's side, he kept taking out hidden weapons like thousand-ben nails from his Soul Tool and shooting them at Mo Bai without pause.

In terms of power, Tang San's hidden weapons were more lethal.

The moment Mo Bai's big Blue Silver Grass leaves were touched, they would be pierced through or cut apart!

And judging by Hidden Weapon Technique, Tang San also seemed stronger.

But Mo Bai had far more hidden weapons than Tang San.

All of Mo Bai's hidden weapons were easily avoided by Tang San. For some attacks from particularly tricky angles, Tang San only had to use his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps in the end to dodge them with ease.

As for Mo Bai, he did not even need to use his Flower-Piercing Butterfly Steps, yet he still avoided all of Tang San's hidden weapons.

What he relied on was the large number of his Blue Silver Leaves, along with his prediction of the angles of Tang San's hidden weapon attacks.

"How is this possible..."

"He can actually see through the direction I'm going to attack in advance..."

The more Tang San fought, the more shaken he became. He discovered that his Hidden Weapon Technique was indeed stronger, that much was certain, but he still could not do anything to Mo Bai, who did not even have Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps.

Because Mo Bai's insight and prediction were too strong. Every time, he could predict Tang San's hidden weapon attacks, then use the numerical advantage of the Blue Silver Grass leaves to block all of them.

In the end, Tang San's hidden weapons were all used up, and he still had not defeated Mo Bai.

During this time, he had even used the Tang Sect's exclusive Hidden Weapon Techniques. Though they caused Mo Bai plenty of trouble and left him in a sorry state, in the end, his hidden weapons still failed to hit Mo Bai.

And the longer they fought, the stronger Mo Bai's Hidden Weapon Technique became.

"Stop!"

"I'm out of hidden weapons. You win!"

In the end, Tang San called a halt with an ugly expression. When his hidden weapons were about to run out, he took the initiative to admit defeat.

He still had hidden weapons, Mechanism Hidden Weapons, the Sleeve Arrow and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, but judging from Mo Bai's performance just now, he did not feel taking them out would pose much of a threat to Mo Bai.

"Haha, Tang San, you're out of hidden weapons, right?"

"Haha, I'm almost out of Soul Power too, but I still won!"

When Tang San admitted defeat, Mo Bai also collapsed onto the ground without any regard for his image.

Although he had still hidden an even stronger Hidden Weapon Technique than Tang San's and his Flower-Piercing Butterfly Steps, his Soul Power truly was almost exhausted.

Mo Bai's modern Tang Sect, after Mechanism Hidden Weapons had been eliminated by firearms and other hot weapons, had focused on Hidden Weapon Technique. In terms of Hidden Weapon Technique, it was definitely stronger than Tang San's.

However, Mo Bai felt that even if he used it, he might not necessarily be able to do much to Tang San.

The other side still had Purple Demon Eyes and Mystic Jade Hand.

If it was purely a hidden weapon offense, Mo Bai felt that if he did not hide his stronger Hidden Weapon Technique, his offense would be stronger.

It was also because his offense was stronger than Tang San's that Mo Bai could predict Tang San's hidden weapon attacks, then use the numerical advantage of Blue Silver Grass to block them.

Tang San, however, had stronger defense. With Purple Demon Eyes, Mystic Jade Hand, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, he was much stronger than Mo Bai defensively.

So if it was not a life-or-death duel, it was hard to say who would fall in the end.

"Mo Bai, Tang San!"

"Aren't you two way too amazing?"

"My eyes almost couldn't keep up!"

Seeing that the match was over, Xiao Wu walked forward with a face full of amazement.

She really had almost been stunned silly just now. Only then did she learn how thrilling it was when hidden weapons were unleashed in an overwhelming storm.

"Mo Bai, you were always going easy on me before, weren't you?"

Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu looked at Mo Bai again.

She felt that if Mo Bai had shown the strength he displayed today when he fought her before, there was no way she could have gone back and forth with Mo Bai every time and only lost at the very end.

"Mm. I wanted to watch Tang San's Hidden Weapon Technique more through you!"

Mo Bai nodded and admitted it.

"..."

"..."

Hearing Mo Bai's admission, not only did Xiao Wu feel deeply hurt.

Tang San did too. He felt that today, he had also been defeated by his own hands. But thinking about it this way, Tang San felt a lot better.

Aside from the painful feeling of losing to Mo Bai today, Tang San also began to discover that using Blue Silver Grass as hidden weapons was not without advantages.

That was the enormous number of hidden weapons!

"However, that's also because I haven't made my stronger hidden weapons yet. Otherwise, no matter how many Mo Bai had, he still wouldn't be able to block those hidden weapons of mine!"

"No, I have to hurry and make some powerful hidden weapons. Next time, I absolutely can't lose to someone else in hidden weapons again!"

After the duel with Tang San, Mo Bai's academy life returned to peace once more.

Every day, he studied, cultivated, and was occasionally pestered by Xiao Wu.

By devouring small soul beasts, the age of Mo Bai's First Soul Ring also continuously increased.

And as the soul ring's age increased, Mo Bai's Soul Power and physical constitution also rose accordingly.

Absorbing a soul ring would increase a soul master's Soul Power and physical constitution to begin with. Now that its age had increased, it was only normal for his Soul Power and physical constitution to increase along with it.

Only when Mo Bai raised the increased age of his First Soul Ring to over eight hundred years did he no longer dare continue strengthening it.

Because if he continued increasing it, Mo Bai felt that he would soon be unable to control his First Soul Ring.

After noticing this situation, Mo Bai immediately stopped.

Afterward, he tried strengthening his second soul ring.

Right after that, he discovered that the second soul ring's situation was the same. When the soul ring's age reached eight hundred years, the same situation of it about to go out of control appeared, making Mo Bai instantly afraid to continue.

Mo Bai knew this was because his physical strength could only support his control over soul rings of eight hundred years. Any higher, and it would no longer be something he could withstand.

Although it was a pity that he could not continue, relying on the roughly five hundred extra years added between his First Soul Ring and second soul ring, Mo Bai finally surpassed Tang San and Xiao Wu in Soul Power level.

He became the first to rise to level 27.

By this time, Mo Bai had already been enrolled for almost five years.

By the time he graduated from sixth grade, Mo Bai felt that he could one hundred percent charge to level 30.

As for Tang San, he would probably only be level 29 and was unlikely to break through to level 30!

But that was not certain either. After all, Tang San's talent was better than his.

As for Xiao Wu, Mo Bai would not comment. Mo Bai only knew that if Xiao Wu was willing to be a little more diligent, breaking through to level 30 by the time she graduated a year later should not be a big problem.
