Tang San's furtive glance in his direction naturally did not escape Xiao Tian's notice. He had no doubt that Tang San might already have marked him down in his heart. He was probably already on the path to death!
Still, given Tang San's current strength, as long as Tang Hao did not suddenly strike without any sense of honor, it should not be much of a problem. He only needed to watch out for those low-level hidden weapons.
Even so, it gave Xiao Tian quite a headache.
Xiao Tian glanced at Xiao Wu, then looked at Tang San. An idea suddenly came to him. He might as well court death a little more. Heh heh.
"Tang San, why are you looking at me with such a terrifying expression? Don't tell me you're holding a grudge because I beat you once and want to get back at me in private? I'm only innately rank five, you know. It can't be that serious, right?"
As though he had only just noticed Tang San's expression, Xiao Tian spoke with a face full of shock.
Ding. Host, you really do love testing the limits at death's door. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll suddenly die in your sleep? Or suddenly be poisoned while eating?
Xiao Tian said, "What else could I do? If I expose it now, Tang San will have Xiao Wu to consider. He can't possibly resort to dirty tricks behind my back."
Xiao Tian's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Tang San. Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly buried his little thoughts away. This Xiao Tian's senses are really sharp.
He immediately put on an innocent smile. "What are you talking about? Xiao Tian, you must have seen wrong. Like you, I'm only a six-year-old child. How could I possibly retaliate against you in private? I was just thinking that I didn't use my full strength earlier. In a few days, I'd like to invite you outside for another proper match. We can spar and improve together."
Tang San's words were flawless, immediately dispelling everyone's doubts.
Wang Sheng also smiled. "Xiao Tian, you probably saw wrong. Tang San looks so honest, and we'll all be classmates from now on. Our opponents should be those nobles."
Xiao Tian laughed inwardly. Tang San, honest?
That was the funniest joke in the world!
Xiao Wu also looked thoughtfully between Xiao Tian and Tang San. But with her little head, she could not make sense of anything, so she turned to Xiao Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, then let's have a match. We can use our martial souls."
Xiao Tian nodded without saying anything. Xiao Wu's martial soul was basically just for show. She could use those moves even without it, such as Waist Bow.
Xiao Tian also steeled himself completely. He had to be careful not to let Xiao Wu's hands touch him. Otherwise, he would have no ability to resist at all. He was not like Tang San, with such powerful martial arts skills. His main means of attack was still the sword in his hand!
Seeing Xiao Tian nod, Xiao Wu revealed a sly smile and charged straight at him.
"Fifteen, retract the sharpness of the blade. This is only a spar."
Xiao Tian spoke softly to Sword Fifteen. Fifteen trembled slightly, and its blade immediately became somewhat blunter.
Xiao Tian smiled in satisfaction. His martial soul had intelligence—now that was interesting. This way, he did not need to hold back too much.
However, in that instant, Xiao Wu had already closed to within a meter of Xiao Tian. Her small fist shot directly toward his face.
"Don't you know not to hit people in the face?"
Xiao Tian grumbled as he raised his sword before him.
Boom!
In that instant, the recoil sent both him and Xiao Wu back several steps.
Xiao Tian sighed inwardly. As expected of the Power Attack System—her physical strength was truly powerful. Fortunately, his constitution had also improved considerably from practicing the sword.
Xiao Wu was slightly surprised. "Xiao Tian, are you really innately rank five? Why do I feel like you're about as strong as me?"
After that clash, Xiao Wu became intensely curious about Xiao Tian. This did not seem like the strength of someone innately rank five.
Xiao Tian: Innately rank five was real, but he had a cheat. He had already been raised to innately rank ten. Heh.
"Of course it's true. I even have the certificate issued by Lord Soul Master from Spirit Hall. I really envy you people who are innately rank ten."
By the end, Xiao Tian wore an "envious" expression and sighed softly.
But then Xiao Tian smiled. "Come on, let me see your real strength. I won't go easy on you!"
"Hmph, I don't need you to go easy on me! I'm going to be the big sister!"
Xiao Wu snorted.
Although Xiao Tian's strength had exceeded her expectations, her own strength was not weak either!
The next moment, Xiao Wu gathered her Soul Power beneath her feet and pushed off with all her strength, rushing toward Xiao Tian at her fastest speed.
Tang San was shocked inwardly. What incredible speed!
The corners of Xiao Tian's lips curled up slightly. So fast. Then he would try out the move he had just learned.
"Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step!"
Xiao Tian's body flashed. Just as Xiao Wu was about to grab him, he slipped behind her.
Seeing the opening at Xiao Wu's back, Xiao Tian chuckled wickedly to himself. "Fifteen, soften up a little."
Fifteen trembled slightly. Before everyone's astonished eyes, the entire sword blade actually drooped down.
Everyone: Holy shit, this sword was awesome! It could even be used like this?
Xiao Tian gripped the hilt with both hands, stared at the hem of Xiao Wu's skirt, and swung the sword like a bat, smacking it directly at her butt!
"Ah!"
Feeling her butt get struck, Xiao Wu could not help crying out. She instinctively covered her butt with both hands.
"X-Xiao Tian! You actually dared to hit me there!"
Xiao Wu turned around, her face flushed red.
"Ahem, ahem. We're even now. You wanted to hit me in the face just now too, didn't you? Too bad you didn't succeed, right?"
Xiao Tian said without so much as a blush or a change in expression.
"Bastard! If you've got the guts, let me touch you!"
Xiao Wu stomped her foot, her face full of unwillingness as she charged straight at Xiao Tian. She had not been able to bring her strength into play at all!
"No way!"
Xiao Tian said with a smile. Seeing Xiao Wu so flustered and furious, he found it rather amusing.
"Fifteen!"
Xiao Tian loosened his right hand and used the principles of the Sword Control Technique, having Fifteen seize the right moment and bind Xiao Wu directly.
He had only thought of this move on the spot. It reminded him of Da Ben's flexible sword in Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes. In its softened state, Fifteen could be used as a small whip, and its inherent hardness made it difficult to break free from. The only drawback was that he currently had no way to make Fifteen larger.
"Xiao Wu, just admit defeat. I know you've got moves you haven't had the chance to use, and I didn't let you go all out. But do you know that I haven't used my full strength either?"
Since Xiao Tian was half a head taller than Xiao Wu, when he moved close to her, he lowered his head slightly and spoke into her ear.
