Dodging and Toying, Xu Sanshi Flies into a Rage

"This..." Jiang Nannan covered her mouth in surprise, unable to understand how he had done it.

Quite a few people were curious, and discussions broke out all around.

"He didn't use a soul skill, and there weren't even any energy fluctuations from a soul bone. How did he manage to teleport?"

Many people could not understand how Shiyu had done it. Teleportation itself was not difficult to understand, but teleporting without releasing a soul skill was baffling.

Even Mu En, who sat there leisurely, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Clearly, even someone of his cultivation had not expected Shiyu's Teleportation to be so different.

Only an extremely exquisite level of Space Control could achieve this, Mu En murmured inwardly.

The people around them gasped in surprise. This only provoked Xu Sanshi further. The more dazzling Shiyu's performance was, the more foolish and clumsy it made him seem.

Xu Sanshi's expression darkened. Without saying a word, he charged at Shiyu again.

This time, before he even reached him, his First Soul Ring lit up, and his First Soul Skill, Mysterious Nether Shock, was unleashed.

Shiyu's attention had been fixed on Xu Sanshi, so he naturally saw him use his soul skill.

He had already been recalling what soul skills Xu Sanshi possessed, so he had a basic understanding of his First Soul Skill.

This was an area-of-effect skill. Its main effect was to knock enemies back, but it could also stun Spirit Masters whose Soul Power Level was lower than the user's.

As it happened, his Soul Power Level was lower than Xu Sanshi's. If he were stunned, the consequences would be obvious.

With a thought, the spatial Soul Power in Shiyu's body rapidly circulated and took effect. He vanished from where he stood and reappeared nearly twenty meters away, further widening the distance between himself and Xu Sanshi.

This was the maximum distance he could cover with a single Space Movement, ninety percent shorter than the distance he had traveled when going to Ten Thousand Years Ago.

He did not know why. He only knew that after returning, his control over space and time had greatly weakened.

It seemed that the Time and Space Power he possessed when he went to Ten Thousand Years Ago had been enhanced.

Otherwise, it would have been unrealistic for a Spirit Master of only a little over ten levels like him to hold out against a Spirit Saint like Zhao Wujin for so long.

Even with the power of space and time, it had not been easy.

After returning, that previously stronger power had vanished, leaving him with a slight sense of disappointment.

It was worth mentioning that Shiyu's Soul Power Level had reached fourteen after absorbing the Soul Ring.

Now, he was level sixteen. The additional two levels were related to the Nine-Heart Begonia flower he had consumed and the Human-Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone he had absorbed.

The Nine-Heart Begonia flower had mainly altered his body and provided very little Soul Power, probably only about half a level.

The remaining level and a half had all come from the Human-Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone.

Those standing close to Shiyu quickly retreated, unwilling to be caught in the attack.

Seeing Shiyu widen the distance, Xu Sanshi forcibly held back his soul skill, choosing to close in further before releasing it.

Shiyu moved continuously, left and right, his position constantly shifting and making it difficult for Xu Sanshi to lock onto him.

His soul skill had reached the point where he had no choice but to release it, so he could only fire it toward Shiyu's current position.

Boom! The Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield slammed onto the ground, sending an energy shockwave racing toward Shiyu.

Shiyu once again used Spatial Power to vanish from his original position, appearing twenty meters away.

He was still struck by the shockwave's edge, but he only staggered back several steps. He did not suffer much damage, nor was he stunned.

Some students had not retreated in time and were knocked to the ground, looking even more miserable than Shiyu, the actual target.

"Is dodging all you know how to do? Are you even a man?" Xu Sanshi picked up his shield and angrily berated Shiyu, thoroughly disgusted by him.

"In battle, you have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. My Soul Power Level is lower than yours, my attack power is lacking, and my defense is even worse than yours. It's hard for me to hurt you."

"What else am I supposed to do if I don't dodge in this situation?" Shiyu asked in return.

He did not think there was anything shameful about dodging like this. Since he had not yet mastered any powerful offensive methods, he had to evade. He could not possibly use his own shortcomings to challenge another's strengths.

That would be the behavior of a complete idiot. He might not be an exceptionally brilliant genius, but he did not want to be a foolish moron either.

Some people nodded to themselves, agreeing with Shiyu. He was two Soul Rings behind Xu Sanshi; dodging was only natural.

Even Mu En, who was lying over there, agreed with Shiyu. He even gave Shiyu a somewhat surprised glance, clearly surprised by how clear-headed he was.

Dodging was the most correct response. Moreover, he had dodged very well, fully bringing his own advantages into play. Even from Mu En's perspective, that deserved high praise.

"Coward!" Xu Sanshi cursed, trying to provoke Shiyu.

Being cursed at was naturally unpleasant, but Shiyu did not curse back. He merely said,

"You have one more chance. If you still can't knock me down, then stop pestering Nannan from now on. You're not qualified."

"If I'm not qualified, then you're even less qualified!" Xu Sanshi shouted emotionally.

Clearly, Shiyu's words hurt far more than a direct insult. They had completely broken through Xu Sanshi's defenses.

"This was supposed to be a three-move agreement, but you've kept teleporting. Shouldn't that already count as more than three moves? Both sides only get three moves. By that logic, you've already lost," a voice said.

Xu Sanshi, who had been furious and about to attack, temporarily stopped and looked toward the speaker. It was Beibei.

Shiyu looked over as well. The speaker stepped forward, unafraid of letting Shiyu know that he was the one talking. Instead, he met Shiyu's gaze directly, looking as though he intended to stand up for Xu Sanshi.

Who is this guy? Shiyu wondered. He did not know him.

"Sorry, but our agreement was that Xu Sanshi had to knock me down within three moves. We never said how many moves I could make."

"I've only been dodging. You can think of my Teleportation as taking a step. Does taking one step count as making a move?"

"If that's the case, then Xu Sanshi has taken dozens of steps, more than me. And he started walking first. By that reasoning, he already lost long ago," Shiyu retorted.

"Is Teleportation the same concept as taking a step?" Beibei challenged.

"It is the same concept," Shiyu said with a serious nod. As he spoke, he took a step forward and instantly moved five or six meters away.

Then he took another step backward and returned to his previous position.

"Isn't that just one step?" Shiyu asked Beibei again.

Surprise flickered in Beibei's eyes. It was his first time seeing someone use Teleportation so casually, and the key point was that it was being done by a Spirit Master who was only in his teens.

He fell silent as well, unable to think of how to refute that argument.

The spectators had some knowledge, and they too realized how remarkable Shiyu was.

"I think that makes sense," Jiang Nannan spoke up for Shiyu.

"I think so too," many people echoed. It was not because they wanted to give Jiang Nannan face, but because they genuinely thought so.

A three-move agreement naturally did not mean one could only take three steps.

"I refuse to believe I can't knock you down!" Xu Sanshi attacked angrily, no longer wanting to listen to any more nonsense.

His Third Soul Ring lit up, and Mysterious Nether Power was unleashed.

Water appeared around Shiyu. It was a dark, murky color, pressing in on him and interfering with the circulation of his Soul Power.
