Han Xing, naturally, was unaware of Tang San's surprise.

Seeing that he had successfully repelled Tang San with a single punch, Han Xing immediately pressed his advantage.

Two Flame Feathers were shot out with a flap of his wings, heading straight for Tang San's face.

However, Tang San's reaction speed was clearly not bad; after all, he was someone who could dodge Tang Sect's hidden weapons.

Facing the two feathers rushing towards his face, he simply arched his back and successfully dodged them.

Yet, just as Tang San was preparing to counterattack, he discovered that Han Xing had already used the opportunity to create distance between them.

"Damn it, without any hidden weapons, I have no way to deal with Han Xing."

Tang San gritted his teeth, staring at Han Xing's retreating back, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

He was confident that his long-range attacks were no worse than the opponent's.

The problem was that his Blue Silver Grass couldn't harm the other party, and the surroundings were all bluestone bricks, not even a single stone.

No matter how skilled his hidden weapon techniques were, it was like a clever cook unable to prepare a meal without ingredients.

"It seems I can only engage in a protracted battle and prevent him from exploiting his long-range attack advantage."

Tang San's expression sharpened, and he quickly pursued Han Xing.

During the chase, he continuously used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the incoming Flame Feathers.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the richness of Han Xing's spirit power.

Before fighting him, the other party had already fought Xiao Wu.

Now, facing him, he could still continuously use spirit skills to attack.

In fact, Tang San had no idea.

As a Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul, and one who practiced the Extreme Yang Heart-Tempering Record, Han Xing...

As long as he was under the sunlight, his spirit power recovery speed was extremely fast.

This frequency of attack, using only two feathers every so often, was just barely keeping pace with his spirit power consumption.

Han Xing's current consumption was mainly from releasing his first spirit skill twice in a row, condensing the Dawn Light Fire Feather.

As the two chased and fled, several exchanges had already occurred in the blink of an eye.

Every time Tang San successfully closed the distance with Han Xing using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he would be forced back by the Heaven-Burning Fist Force combined with the Sun True Fire.

And Tang San, with the Purple Demon Eye enhancing his perception and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track improving his speed, This made Han Xing's Flame Feathers almost impossible to hit him.

For a time, neither could do anything to the other, and they could only compete in spirit power consumption.

Just as Tang San was fiercely pursuing, Han Xing suddenly shot out four Flame Feathers at once.

The sudden change in attack rhythm caught Tang San off guard, but fortunately, his reaction was timely, and he successfully dodged the attack of the four feathers.

"Stop."

"Fighting like this, you won't be able to do anything to me."

"Your speed is very fast, and you can easily dodge my attacks."

"But your martial soul is too weak. With your current means, you can't possibly injure me."

Han Xing stopped, and with a backhand punch, he repelled Tang San.

"What do you mean!" Tang San did not rush to attack this time.

Tang San's personality was a typical Shrek mentality.

An enemy whose strength was insufficient and who was afraid of causing trouble was a mediocre person.

But once he discovered that he couldn't deal with the opponent, he would immediately change his attitude.

Now that he realized he couldn't do anything to Han Xing, Tang San naturally wouldn't insist on fighting to the end as before.

"We can't do anything to each other, so this time it's a draw."

"I need to go back and cultivate; I don't have that much time to waste here with you."

"And you probably don't have that much free time either, right?" Han Xing pointed at Xiao Wu below the stage.

Hearing this, Tang San pondered for a moment and then chose to stop fighting and walk off the stage.

As a disciple who grew up in the Tang Sect, although Tang San had violated the sect's rules, he still considered himself a Tang Sect disciple.

As an assassin organization, one of its extremely important rules was:

If a strike fails, retreat immediately and wait in the shadows for a better opportunity.

This was not a rule unique to the Tang Sect but a rule for all assassin and killer organizations.

[Is it over? I didn't expect it to end in a draw. I thought Han Xing was going to be dealt with by Tang San.]

[Overall, Han Xing lost. After all, Tang San is only level thirteen, while Han Xing is level fourteen.]

[Level thirteen fighting level fourteen and ending in a draw, who is weaker and who is stronger is clear at a glance.]

"You can't really say it like that. Before Han Xing fought Tang San, he also fought Xiao Wu, so he had already consumed quite a bit of his soul power."

"At the same level, the current combat strength of Tang San and Han Xing is at most on par."

"If we look at their actual levels right now, Han Xing is still a bit stronger than Tang San."

"To the person above, don't forget that Tang San hasn't even used all of his methods yet."

"Blue Silver Grass is countered by Han Xing and can't hurt him, but it would be a different story if he switched to the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Not to mention that Tang San also has his unique hidden weapon techniques; he just hasn't crafted any hidden weapons yet."

"If you put it that way, it only proves that Han Xing is even more awesome."

"Tang San has the Tang Sect's unique skills, has practiced Tang Sect secret manuals since he was a child, and has the combat experience of his past life, yet he only managed a draw against Han Xing."

"That's true. I can only say that the Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul is truly worthy of its high status."

"A transmigrator like Tang San, who was reborn with cultivation techniques from another world, only managed a draw against Han Xing in the end."

"I have to say, the Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul is truly cool."

"Among the three soul masters with innate full soul power who have appeared so far, Han Xing's martial soul looks the coolest and most badass."

"With his martial soul possessed, he comes with Sun True Fire. Han Xing doesn't even need to deliberately defend against Tang San's Blue Silver Grass because it gets burned away before it even touches him."

"As for that trash Xiao Wu, she doesn't even have the ability to get close to Han Xing. The flames on his body alone are enough to give her a hard time."

"I just want to say, Han Xing is awesome. He's basically cosplaying the story of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the Son of Heaven, fighting against the Son of Transmigration."

"To the person above, don't go too far with the hype for Han Xing. He's just an early-game character; there's a high probability he'll be a nobody by the late game."

"To be honest, even if Tang San uses the Clear Sky Hammer, I don't think he'll have an easy time fighting Han Xing."

"Han Xing's martial soul is the Three-Legged Golden Crow. He might even be able to fly in the late game. No matter what, there's no way he'll be a nobody."

"By the way, no one has actually said that Han Xing has innate full soul power, right? Why do you all assume he has innate full soul power?"

"You idiot, Han Xing is the same age as your precious Tang San, and his soul power is one level higher than Tang San's. If he doesn't have innate full soul power, then who does?"

After leaving Notting Academy, Han Xing immediately opened the bullet screen panel.

Looking at the arguments above and then checking his own popularity points, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Your current popularity points: 851.

He was only a little over a hundred points away from one thousand popularity points.

Even without new footage, as long as he waited for the video of the recent battle to ferment, gaining another hundred or so popularity points shouldn't be a big problem.

The novice gift pack gave him the Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul.

One hundred popularity points gave him the secret manual for the Golden Crow Three Styles.

At one thousand popularity points, there was no way the reward would be weaker than the previous ones, right?
