At this moment, Chu Qing naturally understood that the people before him were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu.
He stopped in his tracks, offering no words, and instead flashed toward Xiao Wu in a blur of motion.
With a sudden boom, before Xiao Wu could even process what was happening, she felt her body go light and let out a muffled groan as she collapsed backward.
The reaction was so instantaneous that Xiao Wu had no time to employ her pride and joy, the Soft Skill. With just a single punch, she was struck as if by lightning, slumping to the ground unconscious.
"It's me, so what? Are you not convinced?" Chu Qing retracted his fist, watching Tang San with keen interest as the boy stared back at him with eyes wide enough to split, burning with malice.
The mocking laughter of the crowd ceased abruptly; the power of that single punch was plain for all to see.
Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot as he spat out, "You insulted my teacher, and now you've hurt my sister—you are courting death!"
Who didn't know that Grandmaster was the teacher he respected most, and that Xiao Wu was his reverse scale?
Now, this arrogant brat who didn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth had actually injured Xiao Wu with a single blow; it seemed he had to be taught a lesson! Tang San immediately channeled his soul power, and a pale yellow soul ring instantly manifested around his body.
Tang San! Level 13 Control System Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass!
First Soul Skill! Blue Silver Entanglement!
As Tang San channeled his soul power, blue vines rose from beneath Chu Qing's feet, rapidly coiling toward his body!
Chu Qing sneered and channeled his own soul power. Instantly, a mass of black flames enveloped his body, exuding an aura of destruction.
A yellow soul ring circled his body as well!
"What! This Chu Qing actually obtained a hundred-year soul ring too!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Chu Qing! Level 13 Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Nihility Devouring Flame!
"Nihility Devouring Flame? You're killing me—isn't that just a common fire-type martial soul? What's so impressive about that? No matter how fancy the name is, he'll still be..."
Before the man could finish his sentence, the scene before him silenced his voice.
The Blue Silver Grass rushing toward Chu Qing vanished into nothingness the moment it touched the eerie black flames! There wasn't even a sound.
The crowd held their breath. Someone couldn't help but mutter, "This... will Third Brother be his match? That fire doesn't look ordinary."
"It's fine, Third Brother is invincible! This kid will never be Third Brother's match!" someone insisted, full of confidence in Tang San.
However, the expressions of those few people grew heavy in unison as the situation on the field shifted.
The Blue Silver Grass was being gradually devoured! The black flames acted like a black hole; no matter how Tang San attacked, everything that neared the flames was reduced to nothingness.
"Damn it! How can this be? My first soul ring is from a Datura Snake! It should have a poisonous effect while controlling, so why is it useless against these flames?"
"I can't let this continue!" Tang San immediately channeled his Mysterious Heaven Skill. His hands turned a cyan hue as he surged his soul power and charged straight at Chu Qing.
He was confident that Chu Qing could never withstand his Mysterious Jade Hand; this was the exclusive secret technique of his Tang Sect! Having lived two lives, this was what he relied on most!
At the same time, he secretly triggered the mechanism of his Sleeve Arrow, aiming it at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing almost laughed out loud. Relying on his so-called Mysterious Jade Hand? Did he even understand what Nihility Devouring Flame was?
He gathered the black flames onto his fist and threw a punch of his own.
First Soul Skill! Flame Devouring Heaven Burning!
A torrent of black flames poured out with the force of his punch, heading straight for Tang San!
With a loud boom, Tang San collapsed to the ground, his entire body scorched like charcoal by the black flames. His hair was burned away, his clothes were nearly destroyed, and he was completely unable to rise again.
Even his pride and joy, the silent Sleeve Arrow, had been refined into nothingness by the terrifying might of the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Not even Chu Qing's clothes had been singed!
The crowd stared in stunned silence, shrinking back in fear. One person even went weak at the knees and knelt down—the very same person who had been shouting about Third Brother's invincibility just moments before.
Others scrambled away in a panic, running toward Grandmaster's office.
Chu Qing took in the scene, making no move to stop them, only sneering to himself.
He hadn't dealt a lethal blow, merely beating Tang San until he couldn't resist. After all, a Title Douluo was watching over Tang San from the shadows.
Tang Hao wouldn't interfere in a battle between peers, perhaps even viewing it as a "trial" for his son, but if a life were at stake, he would certainly intervene.
He was still too weak, far from being a match for a Title Douluo, so he had to leave the dog his life.
He had only used thirty percent of his strength for that strike; otherwise, how could the current Tang San have survived a single blow from him?
By now, Xiao Wu had regained consciousness. Seeing the scene before her, tears welled in her eyes as she glared at Chu Qing.
She looked at Chu Qing, who was wreathed in black flames, feeling both humiliated and enraged. She never expected that she, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, would be defeated in an instant by this handsome youth.
She waved her small pink fists, just about to channel her soul power to unleash her pride and joy, the Soft Skill, to defeat this brat who had hurt her Third Brother!
Chu Qing flashed behind Xiao Wu and whispered against her earlobe, "You wouldn't want Martial Soul Hall to know you're a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, would you?"
Xiao Wu's expression shifted from shock to terror. She stopped her movements instantly, trembling as she whispered, "How... how do you know?"
Chu Qing offered a mysterious smile, saying nothing more, but threatened, "That is not for you to worry about. Just tell your Third Brother: do not cross me!"
Xiao Wu looked at the youth before her. Though he was young, his gaze was firm, his brows sharp like swords, and his eyes bright like stars. His body was wreathed in black flames, exuding a heroic spirit.
She turned to look at Tang San, who was sprawled on the ground—well, it was a sight too painful to behold.
With a complex expression, she glanced at Chu Qing once more before dragging the half-dead Tang San away from the scene.
The bustling crowd fell silent, staring at Chu Qing in shock.
"What, do you all want to try me as well?" Chu Qing swept his sharp gaze across the crowd, and everyone fell deathly silent, not a single person daring to make a sound.
Chu Qing let out a cold snort and walked toward the cafeteria with his hands behind his back. He did not care much about today's battle, nor did he hold Tang San in his eyes.
As for Tang San's retaliation? And those sinister hidden weapon techniques of his, he did not pay them much mind.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless!
Tang San was destined to be nothing more than a stepping stone on his path to godhood.
Soon, the news reached the ears of Grandmaster, who immediately rushed to the Academic Affairs Office in a rage to find Director Su, saying resentfully, "You must give me an explanation for what happened today!"
