Tang San Beaten

"Brat, I never expected you to have reached Soul Master as well. I'll give you one last chance—stay out of this, or I'll make you regret it."

Tang San's face darkened. He gripped three sleeve arrows in his palm, but concealed them well beneath his sleeve, making them impossible to notice.

He had already made up his mind. If this brat named Xiao Wu dared to oppose him, he would not mind using other methods to leave a few marks on her body.

With his current Soul Power Level, as long as he caught Xiao Wu off guard, he could use the sleeve arrows to take her life. Everything was within his calculations.

"Tch, you're just a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with a mere ten-year soul ring, yet you dare to boast like that? What a joke." Faced with Tang San's blatant threat, Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and spoke dismissively.

"Brat, you're courting death?"

Having struck a sore spot, Tang San immediately let out a furious roar. His body shot forward like a nimble monkey, lightning-fast. At the same time, the white soul ring beneath his feet lit up as he launched a direct attack at Xiao Wu.

"Entanglement."

As Tang San's furious shout fell, dozens of Blue Silver Grass stalks instantly sprang up wildly from his palm and swarmed toward Xiao Wu's body. His attack was fierce and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Tang San's intentions were clear. He only needed the Blue Silver Grass to restrain Xiao Wu for a moment. Then, he could seize the opportunity to activate the sleeve arrows hidden in his sleeves, ending the battle.

However, Tang San had ultimately underestimated Xiao Wu's strength. Although there was only a three-level difference in their Soul Power, coupled with the gap in their soul ring ages, his plan was destined to fail.

Watching Tang San charge straight at her, Xiao Wu merely smiled. Her smile was radiant, and two faint dimples appeared on her cheeks whenever she smiled, making her look even cuter and prettier.

Ordinarily, anyone who saw such a smile would feel pity for her. Combined with the fact that Xiao Wu was only a six-year-old girl, such a smile could often make others lose their will to resist. Yet Tang San remained unmoved, his face still gloomy and his eyes flashing with hatred.

Xiao Wu leaped into the air, and her body suddenly blazed with red light. The hundred-year soul ring beneath her flickered quietly. Her left foot tilted slightly before she kicked straight at Tang San's head. The sound of air tearing followed, and this strike contained the power of her soul ring.

Lone Bamboo was only a ten-year Soul Beast. Compared to the power of Xiao Wu's hundred-year soul ring, it was naturally unable to contend. Thus, just as Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was about to wrap around Xiao Wu's delicate body, the seemingly incomparably tough grass shattered apart.

The Blue Silver Grass had not even touched Xiao Wu's body before the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by her hundred-year soul ring directly shattered them.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu's body darted forward like a loach. Her hands seized Tang San's shoulders with lightning speed. Tang San panicked for a moment, and just as he intended to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill to deal with her, his body had already been firmly locked down by Xiao Wu.

With his entire body restrained, Tang San could not use the power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill at all.

Just like that, Xiao Wu first viciously kicked Tang San in the chest with the tip of her foot. Then her right leg spun slightly, and another kick landed directly on Tang San's chin. Struck heavily, Tang San's body flew away.

"Hmph, with only this much skill, you still dare to embarrass yourself?" After dealing with Tang San, Xiao Wu gave a light snort and turned away.

"Hehe, die!"

Just as Xiao Wu let her guard down, a venomous voice suddenly rang out. Tang San supported himself against the ground with one hand while his other hand shot out strangely. Three streaks of white light burst from his palm.

At that moment, Tang San could not care less about his slightly swollen body. His eyes seemed to light up as he watched the three sleeve arrows flying toward Xiao Wu with anticipation, his gaze full of smugness.

"Xiao Wu, use the sleeve arrows!" Cao Yan hurriedly warned from the side.

Tang San's Hidden Weapons possessed extremely high killing power, and he had launched them while Xiao Wu was off guard. At this moment, even if Xiao Wu used a soul skill to resist, she would likely still suffer considerable injuries.

Fortunately, ever since Cao Yan had obtained the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record manual from the system, he had forged three sleeve arrows for Xiao Wu and taught her how to use them. Now, they could properly resolve the situation.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up. Her hand swiftly felt around some part of her body, and three silver-white little swords appeared in her jade-like fair palm.

These were precisely the sleeve arrows Cao Yan had left with her last time for self-defense.

Without time to think further, Xiao Wu gathered the Soul Power within her body at her fingertips. The next instant, three streaks of white light flew from her palm. The three sleeve arrows tore through the air with sharp whistles as they fiercely collided with the three streaks of light Tang San had fired.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the two sides collided fiercely, sparks flew as expected, accompanied by crisp ringing sounds.

However, the three sleeve arrows Tang San had fired were directly knocked away by the three sleeve arrows Xiao Wu had launched. Not only that, the three sleeve arrows fired by Xiao Wu flew toward Tang San's body under his horrified gaze.

Of the three streaks of white light, two pierced Tang San's right and left shoulders. As for the remaining one, it struck his little brother beneath his crotch without missing by even an inch. A piercing agony instantly spread through his entire body.

They were both sleeve arrows, and the sleeve arrows Cao Yan had made were crafted strictly according to the manual in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record provided by the system. In terms of power, they were naturally evenly matched with the sleeve arrows in Tang San's hands.

However, the reason Tang San's sleeve arrows had fallen short was ultimately because his Soul Power was too weak. Xiao Wu possessed thirteen levels of Soul Power, so it was no surprise that Tang San had ended up like this.

Using sleeve arrows also required Soul Power for activation. The higher one's Soul Power, the stronger the force they could unleash. Clearly, Xiao Wu held the advantage in this regard. Otherwise, she would not have won so easily.

"Aaaah!"

The agonizing pain from beneath his crotch made Tang San let out a heart-rending howl.

Watching this scene, Cao Yan secretly rejoiced. Xiao Wu's move had been perfectly timed, striking Tang San right in his lifeline. Perhaps from this day onward, Tang San's little brother would no longer be usable.

At the thought of this, a wonderful smile appeared on Cao Yan's face.
