Storage-type Soul Tools are quite precious on the Douluo Continent.

Poor people like him naturally couldn't afford them.

So, with the possibility of Tang San challenging him.

Su Ze naturally set his sights on the other party's Twenty-Four Bridges Soul Tool.

He would get a Soul Tool for free then.

As for losing?

Su Ze had absolute confidence.

He had the Thunder God Domain.

And Tang San's Martial Soul hadn't evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor yet.

With only Blue Silver Grass, and not daring to use the Haotian Hammer, his victory was assured.

Therefore, he had to make Tang San agree to hand over the Twenty-Four Bridges if he lost.

After confirming this goal.

Su Ze reviewed his recent goals in his mind again.

Immediately after, he remembered the matter of Martial Soul Certification.

One Gold Soul Coin was still very important at the moment.

After resting well, he would go to the Hall of Martial Souls tomorrow.

Early morning.

Nuoding City, the Branch Hall of Martial Souls appeared exceptionally quiet.

The crystal ball in Ma Xiunuo's hand was currently emitting a dazzling light.

"Level thirteen! Another genius who reached level thirteen at the age of seven."

"What's been happening these past few days? Why are there so many geniuses like this!"

Ma Xiunuo's voice carried unconcealed astonishment, and his gaze towards the youngster named Lu Yuan before him was filled with curiosity.

Su Ze's expression was calm; he wasn't surprised by this result.

What he cared more about was another matter.

"Master Ma Xiunuo, what do you mean by other geniuses besides me?"

"Oh, them." Ma Xiunuo snapped back from his shock, stroking his beard as he recalled.

"Speaking of which, they're from the same school as you. One is named Tang San, and the other is Xiao Wu. Their talents are both quite good..."

As expected!

Su Ze nodded.

Tang San and Xiao Wu completed their Soul Martial Hall registration.

This meant the plot of the Douluo Continent was officially moving forward.

He should also speed up.

After completing his certification and receiving his subsidy of Gold Soul Coins.

Su Ze walked on the road back to the academy, his mind beginning to ponder his next steps.

Given his current displayed level and age.

Even if he graduated now, apart from Tianshui Academy which only accepted female students.

He could enter any advanced Soul Master academy on the continent.

For example, Thunder Academy, or Heaven Dou Academy.

However, he had no intention of graduating yet.

He planned to continue cultivating at Nuoding Academy for another year.

Once he had mastered Sikong Zhen's Martial Soul and the ultimate move Thunderous Force.

It would be safer to go out then.

Anyway, the Protagonist Tang San would stay at Nuoding Academy for several years.

He wasn't in a hurry.

As Su Ze was thinking, walking within the academy, he noticed many students excitedly running towards the back mountain of the academy.

"Hurry, hurry! There's a show to watch in the back mountain!"

"What duel?"

"The Work-Study Student Tang San is going to duel Xiao Chenyu from the senior grades!"

Hearing that it was Tang San who was going to duel, Su Ze curiously followed.

Since I will be dueling Tang San next, it's a good time to observe.

In an open ground, students gathered to watch the excitement.

In the center were Tang San and Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu's attacks were fierce, but Tang San easily dodged them with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Immediately, the white Soul Ring under Tang San's feet lit up: "First Soul Skill, Entangle!"

Instantly, countless thick Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground, binding Xiao Chenyu like a zongzi.

The victor was decided.

"Uninteresting!"

Su Ze, who had just arrived, shook his head.

This kind of one-sided duel was not worth watching.

Just as Su Ze was about to turn and leave.

A figure descended from the stage and blocked his path.

It was Tang San, who had just won.

Tang San's eyes were fixed on Su Ze.

Su Ze stopped, already understanding what Tang San intended to do, and calmly asked, "Is something wrong?"

"You insulted my Teacher, Master Yu Xiaogang, earlier."

Tang San's tone was filled with anger: "Now I challenge you!"

Without waiting for Su Ze's reply, Tang San continued to shout loudly, ensuring everyone around could hear: "Our duel's stakes are: if you lose, you must kneel before Teacher and kowtow to apologize!"

In Tang San's heart, anyone who disrespected his teacher deserved to die.

This public challenge, demanding the opponent kneel and apologize, was, in Tang San's view, already a "generous" act considering their fellow student status.

Just then, a charming figure leaped over, her pink Scorpion Braid swaying. It was Xiao Wu.

She put her hands on her hips and said in a provocative and taunting tone: "If you're a man, don't be a coward. Let's fight!"

"If you're a coward and scared, then hurry up and kneel."

Xiao Wu's words made it seem as if Su Ze would be timid and cowardly if he didn't agree.

This unreasonable stance.

Caused Su Ze's dislike for this Rabbit to instantly surge to its peak.

"Truly an annoying pendant-rabbit." Su Ze sneered inwardly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Wu.

But Su Ze wasn't swayed by emotion. He looked at Tang San and said mockingly, "Tang San, why should I accept your challenge?"

"You're afraid?"

Tang San's tone continued to carry mockery.

He knew very well that children of this age were the most impulsive. The other party was also a Lightning Attribute Soul Master, known for his volatile personality.

As long as he provoked him a little, the other party would definitely become enraged and impulsively accept his challenge.

At that time, he would be prepared and ready.

And if the opponent fought in a hurry, fueled by anger, he was sure to win.

Just as Tang San was thinking, Su Ze's mocking voice rang out again.

"Tang San, you've already taken Yu Xiaogang as your Teacher. What do I have to be afraid of fighting you?"

"But is this bet as ridiculous as your Teacher's level?"

Su Ze paused, looked around at the eavesdropping audience, and said clearly, "Tang San only specified the punishment if I lose. So, what if you lose?"

"Your challenge, Tang San, has no punishment if you lose, but I have to kneel if I win?"

"Your shamelessness is eye-opening! Truly a Disciple of Yu Xiaogang."

As soon as Su Ze spoke, a wave of whispers erupted from the surroundings.

Everyone felt that Tang San's bet was very unfair.

Who ever heard of a one-sided bet?

Tang San frowned, his eyes filled with anger, his hands clenched.

He indeed hadn't considered that he would lose.

However, Su Ze's insult towards his Teacher made him extremely furious.

Su Ze didn't give Tang San time to think and directly stated his pre-prepared plan: "If you want me to accept the challenge, fine."

"The stakes must be equal."

"If I lose, I'll kneel and admit my mistake, just as you asked."

"But if you lose..."

His gaze fell upon the Tang Sect Belt at Tang San's waist.

"I want your Storage Soul Tool."

"What?!" Tang San's expression changed.

Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night was a gift from his Teacher upon becoming his disciple, and its value was extremely precious.

He never expected Su Ze would propose this as the stake for their bet.

"It's just a soul battle between classmates, is it necessary to demand something so valuable?" Xiao Wu immediately jumped out to speak up, trying to argue nonsensically.

Su Ze couldn't be bothered to waste more words on her. His gaze remained fixed on Tang San: "Tang San, to be able to come up with that shameless bet."

"As expected of Yu Xiaogang's disciple."

"If you insist on such a shameless bet! Then get lost!"

Hearing Su Ze's words, Tang San clenched his fists.

And at this moment, all the onlookers around were watching him.
