Here Again
Ten days passed quickly.
At the same noon, under the same bright sun, Xiao Xiao walked out of the black passage, while Xu Sanshi walked out of the red passage.
The first few rows of seats were completely full, but the betting odds had disappeared.
Many students believed that Xiao Xiao would win, and similarly, many students believed that Xu Sanshi would win quickly.
It is believed that most of the people who won by Xiao Xiao were first or second graders. They had seen Bai Cai reach the top, and they had seen Bai Cai defeat three opponents at once, suppressing Xu Sanshi Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao. Therefore, they believed that Xiao Xiao could also achieve great things.
It is believed that most of the people who won against Xu Sanshi were fourth graders or above. They were Xu Sanshi's classmates or even his seniors, and they fully understood the level of Xu Sanshi's defense.
While Xiao Xiao could defeat Dai Huabin and even Jiang Nannan, one White Tiger Soul Master on the verge of becoming a Soul Ancestor and the other an elite Soul Master who had already become a Soul Master, Xu Sanshi was different; his defense was at the Soul King level.
Xiao Xiao is clearly good at defense, as is Xu Sanshi. With one being an iron block and the other a tortoise, the battle is bound to be lengthy. However, Xu Sanshi's Soul Power is significantly higher, which basically guarantees his victory.
Xiao Xiao has currently revealed three types of Soul Skill, including two melee control types and one rebound damage type.
However, Xu Sanshi excels at defense, and his rebound damage has little effect.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi possesses a special Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Displacement, which, once Black Tortoise Displacement, can completely determine victory.
Xiao Xiao possesses the power of the cauldron, while Xu Sanshi possesses the power of the Xuanming tremor. Xiao Xiao has three cauldrons, while Xu Sanshi has the Xuanming Shield Formation. Xiao Xiao has the power of the cauldron's sway, while Xu Sanshi possesses the power of the Xuanming. Xiao Xiao has the power of the cauldron's piercing strike, while Xu Sanshi possesses the power of the Xuanming Displacement.
Complete restraint, complete crushing.
If Xu Sanshi weren't stupid, and had pressed her step by step, Xiao Xiao would definitely have failed.
Noon, 3:45 PM.
Xu Sanshi looked at Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Sanshi. Cheers erupted from the seats on both sides.
"No matter how ingenious your tactics are, no matter how quick your reactions are, no matter how strange your Soul Skill are, no matter how domineering your Soul Bone are, I am Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, and you are a three-ring Soul Elder. I am destined to win."
The young man in black glared at her with hatred. "I remember Nannan's injury!"
Xiao Xiao did not reply, her gaze fixed on the clear sky.
A voice suddenly echoed, "The battle begins!"
Xu Sanshi's muscles immediately bulged, and a giant tortoise-shell shield appeared in his hand.
Xiao Xiao summoned three giant cauldrons, which completely enveloped her.
Xu Sanshi walked out step by step, and Xiao Xiao walked out step by step as well.
"Instead of retreating to the boundary, they're going to confront us head-on?"
The young man in black quickly encountered a massive black cauldron in front of him. His First Soul Ring shone brightly, and the tortoise-shell shield immediately struck out, unleashing the "Black Tortoise Shock!"
"How can we win if we retreat to the border?"
The First Soul Ring shone brightly, and the black cauldron also slammed down, but Xiao Xiao actually suppressed it, unleashing "Cauldron Shock!"
Bang!
The shield and the cauldron clashed, Xu Sanshi did not retreat an inch, as the giant cauldron crashed back three feet.
The difference in Soul Power was already apparent, yet the two giant cauldrons slammed down simultaneously.
"The Cauldron Shock!"
The First Soul Ring shone brightly, and the two giant cauldrons trembled incessantly, almost capable of shattering the air.
"Black Tortoise Shield Formation!"
Three giant tortoise-shell shields appeared in the air, two of which held off the incoming cauldron, and one was used to defend against Xiao Xiao Sucker Punch.
However, both giant cauldrons were also smashed back three feet.
"If we engage head-on, should we press forward a bit more?"
Xu Sanshi took a step forward, and his third Soul Ring immediately shone brightly. Three giant shields, stained black, struck towards Xiao Xiao.
Three giant cauldrons met three giant shields, but the cauldrons crashed back more than two meters.
Xu Sanshi swiftly swung his shield horizontally, the giant tortoise-shell shield also stained black.
Xiao Xiao immediately kicked out to the side, her toes glinting against the rocks.
[You've been tricked!]
The purple fourth Soul Ring shone brightly, and Xu Sanshi and Xiao Xiao were simultaneously enveloped in black light, immediately switching positions.
After the exchange was complete, the black light quickly disappeared. Xiao Xiao kicked into the air, and Xu Sanshi returned with a shield bash, smashing it into Xiao Xiao's shoulder.
The giant tortoise-shell shield was wide and heavy, Xu Sanshi possessed the same divine strength. If it were to strike Xiao Xiao, his shoulder bones would at least be completely cracked.
However, the three giant cauldrons immediately merged into one and also smashed towards Xu Sanshi.
Air ←- Xiao Xiao ←- Giant Shield ←- Xu Sanshi ←- Giant Cauldron
"Too late!"
The young man in black glared with hatred. His Second Soul Ring shone brightly, and three giant shields overlapped, one on top of the other, directly blocking the giant cauldron.
Bang!
The giant cauldron smashed back the three giant shields, but the attack came to a complete halt.
Bang!
Xiao Xiao kicked back at the giant tortoise-shell shield, then leaped back four or five meters into the air.
[They reacted very quickly.]
Xu Sanshi paused for a moment, his arm muscles trembling.
[The force was very strong.]
Xu Sanshi took two steps forward, and the giant tortoise-shell shield slammed towards Xiao Xiao.
But I'm determined to win!
Just as Xiao Xiao had recovered from the shock in her right leg, the giant tortoise-shell shield came hurtling towards her.
The three giant shields halted the black cauldron, and Xiao Xiao retreated continuously as soon as the Soul Bone Soul Skill were used.
Fortunately, Xu Sanshi's speed was average, and his right leg Soul Bone slightly increased his speed, allowing Xiao Xiao to dodge out of the range of the tortoise shell shield.
However, the giant tortoise-shell shield continued to suppress the Pursuit, giving Xiao Xiao no chance to catch her breath.
Shield Bash! Shield Bash! Shield Bash!
Rewind! Rewind! Rewind!
"It's no use! It's no use! It's no use!"
Xu Sanshi pressed forward relentlessly, declaring, "My physical abilities are more than three times greater than those of others in my level! I'm guaranteed to win!"
Sweat soaked his collar as Xiao Xiao summoned back the giant cauldrons. His First Soul Ring shone brightly, and the three giant cauldrons smashed out head-on.
"Soul Suppression!"
The three giant cauldrons, surrounded by a ring of black light, merged directly into one. Xu Sanshi immediately became alert, and his fourth Soul Ring quickly shone.
Black Tortoise Displacement!
Just as Xiao Xiao appeared, a giant cauldron came crashing down on her.
Xu Sanshi's transformation was revealed, and the giant tortoise-shell shield returned to strike.
However, the giant cauldron quickly stopped and then crashed back down on Xu Sanshi.
[You've been tricked!]
Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically. His Second Soul Ring shone brightly, and three giant shields overlapped, one on top of the other, blocking the black cauldron.
The giant black cauldron immediately came to a stop.
Xiao Xiao swiftly kicked forward, her toes glinting against the rocks.
Xu Sanshi launched a shield attack head-on, but a massive black cauldron suddenly appeared before him.
Xiao Xiao summoned the giant cauldron and used her Soul Bone Soul Skill, Rock Slide, to swiftly strike the cauldron and then smash it into the tortoise-shell shield.
Having used the Black Tortoise Displacement twice, Xu Sanshi, having exhausted his Soul Power, unleashed the tortoise-shell giant shield directly.
"The Cauldron Thorn!"
"Soul Suppression!"
The giant cauldron emitted a black light, and its body rapidly flashed. Xu Sanshi's expression changed drastically, and his fourth Soul Ring quickly shone.
However, the black light had already spread, and the fourth Soul Ring immediately subsided.
[We can hold on.]
Xu Sanshi's mind was clear and empty.
Compared to Bai Cai, Xiao Xiao seemed quite ordinary. Even if she used her Self-Created Soul Skill, it was still uncertain whether she could defeat him.
Bang!
A burst of white light shot out, and the black cauldron vanished in an instant. Xiao Xiao was thrown back four or five meters into the air, his right leg tingling with numbness.
Xu Sanshi remained standing, showing no visible wounds, though his giant tortoise-shell shield was slightly missing.
Xiao Xiao immediately admitted defeat, "I..."
"My Nannan, my Nannan! Hehe, Nannan!"
Xu Sanshi moved with the speed of the wind, embracing the giant shield while tenderly kissing it.
"Again?"
Xiao Xiao glanced to the right and saw a beautiful figure with a dark aura.
