An Attempt

To Xiao Chenyu, Tang San's Hundred Year Soul Ring looked quite intimidating. After all, Xiao Chenyu's own First Soul Ring was merely a white Ten Year Soul Ring.

A Hundred Year First Soul Ring alone was enough to keep Xiao Chenyu from underestimating Tang San. Combined with Tang San's identity as a One Ring Soul Master, Xiao Chenyu's expression gradually turned serious.

As for the older students watching the spectacle, ignorant and fearless as they were, they had no qualms about making a bigger mess of things. They were all shouting enthusiastically now.

It left Xiao Chenyu, who was about to duel Tang San, utterly speechless. He could only open his mouth to rebuke his foolish lackeys.

"Make your move!" Although Tang San's strength had exceeded Xiao Chenyu's expectations somewhat, Xiao Chenyu was not afraid in the slightest.

Once he had figured out Tang San's capabilities, Xiao Chenyu took the initiative to attack.

The moment his words fell, Xiao Chenyu, transformed into a wolfman, pounced fiercely at Tang San.

Although Xiao Chenyu was a genuine Soul Master, with only one Soul Ring, his methods of attack were still rather limited.

Thus, Xiao Chenyu's attack was simple. He hurled himself at Tang San, his pair of sharp claws striking at Tang San's vital points from two different directions.

As a Beast Soul Spirit Soul Master, Xiao Chenyu naturally had to exploit his own advantages as much as possible in battle.

Therefore, Xiao Chenyu intended to fight Tang San at close range, using his physical advantage to end the fight quickly.

However, Tang San was not so easy to deal with. Facing Xiao Chenyu's pounce, Tang San neither dodged nor retreated. He gathered Soul Power in both hands and slowly pushed them forward, apparently intending to take Xiao Chenyu's attack head-on.

At this sight, everyone present, including Xiao Chenyu, revealed incredulous expressions.

In the students' understanding, the physical qualities of a Tool Soul Spirit Soul Master were far inferior to those of a Beast Soul Spirit Soul Master. Yet Tang San actually intended to clash head-on with Xiao Chenyu.

To everyone, Tang San was simply courting death.

However, Xiao Chenyu could not possibly show mercy to an opponent in battle.

In the blink of an eye, the two combatants collided fiercely.

With a muffled bang, azure and white light flared up at the same time. A burst of force erupted, and the resulting gust made the surrounding spectators stumble unsteadily.

Yet something even more unbelievable followed. In a direct clash, Tang San remained where he stood, utterly unmoved. Xiao Chenyu, the one with the Beast Soul Spirit, instead swayed and was knocked backward.

Startled and enraged, Xiao Chenyu's First Soul Ring lit up instantly. As his First Soul Skill activated, his wolf claws immediately turned black.

The next moment, two streaks of black light flashed out, striking Tang San from the left and right.

However, something even more unbelievable awaited Xiao Chenyu.

Tang San actually caught his First Soul Skill head-on. He even seized Xiao Chenyu's wrists in return. In the next instant, Tang San pulled both hands backward and stepped forward, slamming his right shoulder directly into Xiao Chenyu's abdomen and sending him flying several meters away.

Under the shocked, disbelieving gazes of the spectators, Tang San remained utterly calm as he coolly showed off. "I have things to do. I don't have time to play with you. Let's end this here. Blue Silver Grass, Entangling."

As Tang San's words fell, his yellow First Soul Ring lit up as well. More than ten thick stalks of Blue Silver Grass burst without warning from beneath the feet of the airborne Xiao Chenyu, winding upward.

Xiao Chenyu did not even have time to react before his entire body was bound by Blue Silver Grass.

After gaining its First Soul Ring, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had become exceptionally tough. At the very least, it was virtually impossible for Xiao Chenyu to break free in a short time.

Realizing that he had actually been trapped by a work-study student only six or seven years old, disbelief began to grow within Xiao Chenyu's heart, eventually transforming into extreme unwillingness.

I actually lost to a work-study student. Impossible, absolutely impossible.

No, I still have my trump card. I haven't lost yet!

Humiliated into fury, Xiao Chenyu's Aura began to change. His eyes turned blood-red, and the Soul Power within him grew unstable, like a keg of explosives that seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Tang San clearly noticed Xiao Chenyu's abnormal state. Not daring to be careless, he summoned more than a dozen stalks of Blue Silver Grass out of thin air. Under his control, they charged at Xiao Chenyu like Mandala Snakes.

At the same time, paralyzing venom was released from the Blue Silver Grass, in the hope of restraining Xiao Chenyu.

But it was already too late!

With Xiao Chenyu's furious roar, terrifying blood-red Soul Power erupted from his body. That nearly tangible blood-red Soul Power destroyed every stalk of Blue Silver Grass Tang San had released in an instant.

The next moment, Xiao Chenyu, looking like a crazed demon, pounced fiercely at Tang San.

Compared to before, Xiao Chenyu's speed and strength had risen by an unknown number of levels.

The strength and speed he unleashed at this moment had clearly reached the level of a Five Ring Soul King.

Even Tang San could not ignore the vast gap in strength between them and contend against his opponent.

Thus, as Xiao Chenyu lunged toward Tang San, Tang San was sent flying the very next instant.

He crashed heavily into a large tree behind him, breaking through several more trees before finally smashing down onto the ground.

The instant he hit the ground, Tang San's entire body was already a mangled mess of flesh and blood. Two bloody claw marks across his chest had nearly pierced through his body, almost tearing him apart down the middle.

Xiao Chenyu, who had severely wounded Tang San with that strike, was not doing much better himself. After completing that attack, he collapsed straight onto the ground.

Blood instantly seeped from his pores and seven orifices, dyeing him into a blood-soaked figure.

Amid Xiao Chenyu's terrified, agonized wails, he had exhausted all his potential and promptly fainted.

"Plot alteration progress: 1.1%. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 1000 points and acquired the skill: *Keyboard Arise* (Riding the keyboard on the wind, I go forth; demons are purged between heaven and earth)."

"Damn, it actually worked!" At the same time, Li Ang, who had been hiding in a corner and watching everything unfold, revealed a surprised expression.

To be honest, selling the Demonic Dismemberment Technique to Xiao Chenyu and using this duel as an opportunity to have Xiao Chenyu kill Tang San had merely been an attempt by Li Ang.
