Xiao Xuan thought to himself, not yet having time to relax.
Then, he suddenly saw the thick smoke ahead disperse, revealing Tang San once more.
Though he was hunched over, his body convulsing, and he looked utterly wretched,
there was no sign that he was about to collapse and be unable to get back up.
Much less become unable to care for himself.
"Too... too close."
"If I hadn't arranged some Blue Silver Grass beforehand and used it to defend around my feet,"
"that shell just now might really have taken me down."
"But unfortunately, I won!"
Tang San spoke softly, looking weak and listless.
Forcing himself to stay upright, he looked toward Xiao Xuan.
He instinctively assumed that although he had been injured,
his sleeve arrows had struck his opponent, so the winner had naturally been decided.
Those Hidden Weapons might not be enough to kill someone,
but the drugs applied to their needle tips were enough to hinder the circulation through the veins.
They would leave this Three Lives Martial Soul guy, just like his brother, crippled at home for several months.
However, though the idea was good,
reality was brutally cruel. Xiao Xuan was completely unharmed.
He stood there smiling as though nothing had happened.
"So that's it."
"You arranged Blue Silver Grass in advance?"
"When the Thunder Summon came close, you immediately used Soul Power to make it grow."
"It formed a wall of grass that reduced the impact and damage from the energy."
"As it happened, when I calculated the amount to use, I wasn't aiming to kill."
"After being blocked like that, the damage naturally wasn't enough."
"But it doesn't matter. The paralysis effect of Thunder Summon can't be negated."
After hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Xuan showed a faint look of surprise.
Still, he was not worried. The outcome had already been decided.
He brushed the dust that had splashed onto him and casually walked toward Tang San.
At that moment, the thirty seconds of "protection" had not yet ended.
There was no need to worry about any reversal. He just needed to end this quickly!
"Cough, cough... How is that possible?"
"I clearly saw the Hidden Weapons strike your body."
"What happened? Why did they have no effect at all?"
If the appearance of the Three Lives Martial Soul, along with Xiao Xuan's overwhelming strength,
had not made Tang San feel alarmed or even afraid,
then watching his Hidden Weapon attack fail at that moment
instantly shattered all of his former calm confidence.
The trump card he had brought over from his previous life, the thing he had been so proud of, was actually useless against Xiao Xuan?!
What he did not know was that those poisoned needles had not even pierced flesh.
Under Sun God's Protection, they had produced only a faint sting.
They had not even broken the skin before being bounced away.
How could they possibly have worked?
"Originally, stopping when it was enough would have been fine."
"But you beat my brother into that state, so naturally I can't just let it go."
"Besides, we made a bet just now. One of us has to end up unable to care for himself."
"Go home and lie there for a few months..."
At that moment, everyone around them, regardless of whose side they were on, stood frozen in place.
None of them understood what Xiao Xuan intended to do.
They only watched as he walked up to Tang San, calculating how much remained of the thirty seconds.
Light gathered in his palm as he condensed energy once again.
What a joke!
Although Tang San looked miserable, he clearly still had the ability to move.
If he stopped now, wouldn't the system mission be wasted?
Finish him off! He had to finish him off!
In this situation, playing the good guy would be a sign of brain damage.
Not to mention that Xiao Xuan had disliked this guy long before he transmigrated!
The glowing sphere of Thunder Summon gathered right in front of Tang San's face.
If firing from afar would not do, then he would blast him point-blank!
It was about to engulf his body.
In that instant,
Xiao Xuan felt a trace of tension.
It was as though some invisible force was suppressing him.
The sensation vanished in a flash, only for him to relax again the next moment.
"Clear Sky Douluo!"
"Hmph, so he really was hiding nearby?"
"Good thing I brought old Chrysanthemum with me."
"Otherwise, that guy might not have let it go so easily just now."
Xiao Xuan reacted instantly and could not help frowning with a cold snort.
Even with such ample justification, the other party had still tried to interfere.
Clear Sky Douluo was nothing special after all.
Your son could cripple someone else, but no one else was allowed to hit him?
Although all of this had indeed been planned by Xiao Xuan,
it did not change the other man's hypocritical habit of favoring his own people over reason.
Still, since he had already decided to stop holding back,
Xiao Xuan did not care about any of that. Accompanied by Xiao Wu's startled scream,
he fired Thunder Summon, engulfing Tang San, who was still paralyzed and unable to dodge.
It was obvious that Tang San had no intention of accepting his fate.
His expression twisted as he struggled madly, trying to swing the Hidden Weapons on his arms.
But unfortunately, Thunder Summon's paralysis effect was calculated according to the difference in their levels.
Tang San's Soul Power was far too low, and he had no soul skill that granted resistance.
Naturally, he had no chance of counterattacking at that moment.
Not to mention that the thirty seconds of "invincible immunity" provided by Sun God's Protection had only just run out
when the second Thunder Summon exploded.
"Mm, that's enough."
"Now this counts as being unable to care for yourself."
"Since you and my brother have the same injuries, today's matter ends here."
"From now on, behave yourself and stop acting so full of yourself."
As the dust and smoke dispersed once more, Tang San's figure reappeared.
This time, there was no Blue Silver Grass serving as a shield.
Tang San lay on the ground, gritting his teeth with every nerve in his body taut.
He had not passed out and was still forcibly maintaining fairly clear consciousness.
But faint electrical currents covered the surface of his body.
The double paralysis left him able to do nothing but convulse instinctively.
He could not make a single movement, not even open his mouth to curse.
All he could do was stare fixedly at Xiao Xuan's face with bloodshot eyes.
It was as though he wanted to memorize that face
so that, after becoming accomplished in the future, he could return and wash away today's humiliation.
"Xiao Xuan is so... so terrifying!"
"He really did what he said and beat Tang San until he couldn't care for himself?"
"I-I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Boss Xiao, I just remembered my family called for me. I'm leaving too!"
At this sight, not only were the working students so frightened that their legs went weak,
even the young playboys on Xiao Xuan's side looked at him in terror.
After all, they were all around ten years old, children who did not know much better.
Fighting and fooling around was fine, but this was the first time they had seen things taken so far.
Xiao Xuan did not stop them when he heard this. He waved his hand and looked ahead.
Just in time, he saw the little rabbit's face filled with fury and anxiety.
She rushed to Tang San's side and carefully checked his injuries.
Only after confirming that his life was not in danger did she angrily raise her head.
Her cute rabbit ears trembled furiously, and her little pink fists looked ready to explode.
"How can you be like this?"
"Little San had clearly already lost, yet you still attacked him again!"
"No, you have to give an explanation today!"
"You wanted revenge for your brother, so now I'm going to take revenge for Little San too!"
As Xiao Wu spoke, she puffed out her cheeks in anger.
It had to be said, even while angry, she looked especially adorable.
The sight filled Xiao Xuan with guilt, as though he had done something terrible.
Well... it really was not a good thing.
A different sort of thought suddenly arose in his mind.
How could he not tease such a fun little rabbit?
