Under Tang Wu's command, Gangzi hit whatever he aimed at!
Any creature that dared to block the "muzzle" was blasted away, even the strongest wolves in the pack.
Under the twin assault of stench and gale-force wind, they were all powerless to resist.
"So powerful—is this what it means to combine Soul Skills?"
Tang San stared blankly at the scene.
He couldn't help admiring Tang Wu's ingenuity. He'd figured out how to use their Soul Skills together and make one plus one equal two.
Though, admittedly, it was a little abstract.
But it was effective all the same.
"What kind of bizarre Martial Soul Fusion ability is this? Is there any hope for this world?"
Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao abruptly stopped himself from rushing to their rescue.
Especially when he saw this scene.
First, he was utterly astonished. Then, he couldn't help asking himself:
Ignite a fart with flames to increase its power, creating a world of fire and stench.
Could a human being really come up with something like that?
"Pathetic. Against my combo of farts and fire, all they can do is run with their tails between their legs,"
Tang Wu said smugly.
The power of this combo skill was already on par with an attack from a Soul Elder.
After cage-and-fire, the world of combo skills had gained another legend.
If Gangzi woke up and found out, he'd probably be thrilled, wouldn't he?!
After all,
Tang Wu had given him a taste of a Soul Elder's world.
Yu Xiaogang: I'm so grateful.
"Now's our chance. We can't stay here. Xiao Wu, we have to get out of here quickly."
Tang San's voice carried a distinct note of urgency.
"Don't rush. I just got another idea from that combo skill."
"What idea?"
Tang Wu didn't answer right away. Instead, he walked over to the unconscious Gangzi.
His first Soul Skill flashed, and another Explosive Burning Chili took shape.
But this time, the Explosive Burning Chili he conjured was as big as a watermelon.
Without a second thought, Tang Wu shoved it straight into Yu Xiaogang's body.
"Ah~~~"
Feeling the sharp pain from behind, Yu Xiaogang briefly woke from his unconsciousness.
His head lolled to the side.
Then he collapsed again.
"Guh—"
Behind him, Tang San couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
"That must hurt, right?"
The Explosive Burning Chili ignited the gas inside him. As it blasted out, something miraculous happened.
Gangzi's body slowly rose into the air, gently lifting off the ground.
"Since the stench inside Gangzi can be ignited, I'd wondered if I could use that to do something else."
Tang Wu sounded rather pleased with himself.
"And as it turns out, I was right..."
"With the thrust from the flames, as long as I control it properly, I can make him fly."
"Whoa, that's incredible!"
Tang San gave Tang Wu a thumbs-up, admiration written all over his face.
"Xiao Wu, you're always coming up with clever ideas. How did you even think of that?"
Tang Wu leaped up and landed squarely on Gangzi's back.
The moment he came down, the ground beneath him lurched.
But soon,
after a brief struggle to keep his footing, Tang Wu quickly found his balance.
Once he'd settled himself, Tang Wu called out to Tang San:
"Brother, hurry up and get on too."
"Sure, I'm coming!"
Once Tang San was aboard, Tang Wu controlled the Explosive Burning Chili's flames and continued forward.
The thrust from the burning stench wasn't fast, but it was remarkably steady.
Standing on Gangzi's back, Tang Wu steered while channeling Soul Power into him.
Riding the Gang.
"Seriously? Is this really something a Soul Master at level ten-something can do? Am I dreaming?"
Staring blankly at the scene, Tang Hao was dumbfounded.
Flight.
In this era, aside from flying-type Soul Masters, only Titled Douluo could do it.
And now, his younger son could do it with ease!!!
Certain he was dreaming, Tang Hao slapped himself.
"Guh—"
The burning sting across his face brought him instantly back to his senses.
Watching Tang Wu and Tang San fly through the sky, Tang Hao murmured to himself:
"What in the world... did I father?"
Tang Wu was only a newly risen level-fourteen Soul Master. His Soul Power reserves were limited, nowhere near enough to carry them all the way back to Notting City.
Halfway there, they plummeted from the sky.
The impact woke Yu Xiaogang, too. When he saw Tang Wu,
he let out a shrill scream:
"Don't come near me! I've got a date with Somalia in Cairo!"
In the middle of their banter, the boss died once more.
When they returned to Notting Academy, perhaps it was fate—or perhaps some unseen force (the author's hand) was at work.
The battle between Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu for the position of top dog at Notting Academy had only just begun.
After asking a student, the brothers heard what was happening and decided to go watch the fun.
The moment Tang Wu arrived,
he caught Wang Sheng losing to Chang Wei—no, wait, he caught the instant Wang Sheng was defeated.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenyu crowed:
"Hahaha! You've lost. Who's next?"
"Damn it, don't get cocky. That was only the first match."
Xiao Wu huffed angrily, flailing her arms.
But when she happened to glance back and saw Tang Wu and Tang San walking toward her, delight spread across her face.
"Xiao San, Xiao... uh, Tang Wu, you're back!"
"Perfect timing. Help me teach this guy at my feet a lesson! He actually dared to challenge Sister Xiao Wu for the top spot."
"No problem."
Tang San agreed to Xiao Wu's request without hesitation.
Next,
when Xiao Chenyu taunted him, Tang San immediately revealed his Hundred-Year Soul Ring and showed him up in front of everyone.
"But that's not all..."
As everyone watched in shock, a bright yellow Soul Ring rose beneath Tang Wu's feet as well.
"Having a Hundred-Year Soul Ring isn't something only one person can do."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang Wu and Tang San in astonishment.
"I can't believe you're both Innate Full Soul Power, too."
"Does that mean...?!"
Seeing Tang San's shocked expression, Xiao Wu gave a faint smile.
As a Soul Ring appeared, long ears sprouted from Xiao Wu's head. Her body grew more slender, and her already long legs stretched even longer.
"That's right. I'm Innate Full Soul Power, too."
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, his heart full of shock.
Tang Wu, however, remained perfectly calm. He'd known about it long ago, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Facing three geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power and Hundred-Year Soul Rings, Xiao Chenyu promptly admitted defeat.
And so, the farce ended with a whimper.
That night.
"Tang Wu, I challenge you!"
Xiao Wu suddenly ran up to Tang Wu and blurted out those words.
Tang Wu looked at her in confusion.
"Why? Give me a reason."
"Oh, do I need a reason for everything?" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and said imperiously:
"Sister Xiao Wu does what she wants. I feel like it, so are you in or not?"
In truth, she'd heard from Tang Wu that he was even stronger than his older brother.
Tang San hadn't been able to fight back at all when they battled.
After hearing that, how could the competitive Xiao Wu accept it? Naturally, she had to challenge him to a fight.
Only by doing that could she secure her position as the top dog.
