One Against Two, Advantage Me!

Tang Wu exited his Blue Silver Grass stance, and miraculously, even his avatar behind him changed its appearance.

Armor appeared on the hands, feet, and subtle parts of the avatar's body.

Its appearance became significantly more ferocious.

"Brother Tang Wu, why does your martial soul change from time to time?!?"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu was extremely puzzled.

She had been very curious about this since their previous battles.

Everyone else's martial souls were perfectly ordinary, so how did such an outlier like him appear, and why was it so cool?

It was truly enough to make one green with envy!

"That's because my martial soul has mutated; I can obtain corresponding seeds after hunting spirit rings."

Tang Wu had no intention of hiding anything from Xiao Wu's curiosity.

Anyway.

As they spent more time together, anyone with a sharp eye could see this:

"I switch seeds, which is why the corresponding changes occur."

"So that's how it is!"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized, blurting out:

"It even produces its own seeds? Doesn't that mean you've transcended the category of humans and are essentially a vegetable person?!?"

Tang Wu: "..."

Although, well...

Xiao Wu wasn't actually wrong; wasn't the offspring of a human and a plant-type spirit beast just a vegetable person?

Off to the side.

Tang San, who had been innocently caught in the crossfire, could no longer maintain the gentle smile on his face.

He looked at Xiao Wu with black lines on his forehead:

"It's not that exaggerated; this is just an ability of his martial soul. Please don't escalate this into an insult to his personhood."

"Thank you..."

At this moment, Tang San was still a staunch humanist.

In his eyes, humans were humans and spirit beasts were spirit beasts; how could they be lumped together?

"I was just joking, Tang San, do you have to be so serious?"

Seeing the serious expression on Tang San's face, Xiao Wu shrank her neck like a startled rabbit and muttered in a low voice.

But this mood came and went even faster.

As the academy bell rang, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up; her stomach took control of her brain, and the desire for food replaced all thought:

"The cafeteria is open!"

"Tang San, Brother Tang Wu, let's go quickly! Today is Wednesday, the day with the best food."

Under her repeated urging, Tang San also decided that he needed to fill his stomach before he would have the energy to continue cultivating.

However.

Tang Wu had no intention of leaving; he lowered his head, lost in thought:

"You two go ahead. I'm thinking about something and might not have the time."

"No way, you're at a growing age; don't go hungry in the morning."

"How about this, I'll pack breakfast for you."

"Alright then, thanks, brother..."

Tang Wu did not refuse and agreed.

Just like that, Tang San and Xiao Wu left the back mountain side by side, still chatting and laughing.

"Explosive, burning, explosion—yes, explosion!"

Tang Wu suddenly had an epiphany.

His first spirit skill had always manifested the process of fire burning, but it lacked the initial spark.

If he didn't ignite the Explosive Burning Chili, but instead concentrated all the energy into a single point and triggered a concentrated burst, could he create an explosive effect?

Without hesitation, Tang Wu immediately took action.

The first spirit skill beneath his feet lit up, and a fiery red chili appeared before his face.

This time.

He did not ignite it immediately, but instead forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, attempting to concentrate all his spirit power into a single point.

Once the energy was concentrated, Tang Wu finally threw it out and activated it, and instantly—

Bang!

Following the sound of an explosion, a fist-sized crater suddenly appeared in the previously level grass.

Looking at the small hole at his feet, Tang Wu was exceptionally delighted:

"To think the first experiment was a success. Could it be that I really am a once-in-a-ten-thousand-year genius?"

"That's right, if I'm not a genius, then who is? Hehehe..."

After a brief moment of narcissism, he continued his experiments.

Next, Tang Wu molded the Explosive Burning Chili into various shapes to achieve a camouflage effect, which could be used to catch opponents off guard during a fight.

Furthermore.

In the process of this research, he combined it with the 100% accuracy effect of his first soul skill to create a homing bomb.

As the experiments reached their end, Tang Wu suddenly realized:

"Good grief, I've really become Killer Queen now!"

That afternoon.

Following a gasp of astonishment from Xiao Wu, the two-on-one soul duel began:

"What?!"

"You want to challenge both of us at the same time? Are you really sure about this, Brother Tang Wu?"

"Rest assured and attack. One against two, the advantage is mine!"

"So arrogant. You said it yourself, so don't you dare go back on your word later."

Hearing this.

Xiao Wu laughed, though there was more than a hint of malice in that smile.

After being beaten so miserably last time, she had to get her revenge no matter what.

"Tang San, cover me."

"Understood!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's request, Tang San nodded.

Several thick Blue Silver Grass vines appeared at his sides, spreading toward Tang Wu in tandem with Xiao Wu's approach.

"Got you! First soul skill, Waist Bow."

Looking at Tang Wu, who was within arm's reach, a smile of certain victory bloomed on Xiao Wu's face.

A yellow soul ring flashed, and just as the soul skill was about to activate...

"No, it's me who has caught you, Xiao Wu."

Tang Wu didn't retreat but instead advanced. As he closed in on Xiao Wu, coils of vines wrapped around him.

However.

He wasn't targeting Xiao Wu, the enemy; he was protecting himself.

If a bomb were too close, it would very likely injure him.

But if he were protected by an Explosion-Proof Shield, the outcome would be entirely different.

Tang Wu slightly raised his hand, his left hand forming a fist with his thumb pointed up, making a detonating gesture:

"First Bomb, detonate!"

"Oh no, Xiao Wu, get out of there..."

The moment he saw Tang Wu's micro-expression, Tang San instantly realized something was wrong.

Although he had discovered it very quickly.

Unfortunately.

The detonation speed of the bomb left no time for Xiao Wu to retreat.

Bang!

The bomb exploded with a roar, billowing black dust obscuring the view and choking the air.

The next second.

Xiao Wu's delicate body flew back faster than she had come.

After rolling a few times on the grass, her body was covered in grass clippings, and her clothes had slight tears, making her look quite disheveled.

However, don't let her appearance deceive you.

Tang Wu had deliberately controlled the intensity of the explosion, ensuring the force was just right—enough to stun, but not enough to cause injury.

In just one round.

Relying on his information advantage, Tang Wu had managed to knock Xiao Wu off the arena.

Xiao Wu climbed up from the ground, looking at Tang Wu with a dazed expression.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

I was already a bit slow to begin with, and after being blown up like that, my brain is even less functional.

Shaking her heavy, muddled head, Xiao Wu realized belatedly:

"Wow, that explosion just now was way too dangerous, wasn't it? To think you'd come up with a move like that without a word of warning, Brother Tang Wu, you're just too underhanded."

"What else did you expect..."

Regarding Xiao Wu's accusation, Tang Wu merely shrugged, completely unimpressed:

"If I didn't have something to rely on, do you think I'd dare to take you two on by myself?"

"I still have one more move, the Tracking Bomb. Brother, it's your turn next."

"..."

Tang San: Do I have to get blown up too?

The answer was obvious.

That is:

Yes!
