"Hehe, Brother Hao, how did you spot me?" Seeing that he had been discovered, Tang San jumped down from the tree.
Tang San had arrived a long time ago, but he hadn't expected to be found so quickly.
He had wanted to continue observing his good brother's strength, but alas, it was not to be.
With Tang San's appearance, the gazes of everyone present were instantly drawn to him.
"Huh, another nuisance." Xiao Chenyu said, looking at Tang San with displeasure. "Judging by your attire, you don't look like one of those peasants. I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business!"
This was not entirely Xiao Chenyu's fault; it was mainly because Tang San's clothes and hat were neat and tidy, and coupled with the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, he certainly didn't look like an ordinary person.
After all, as the son of the city lord, he had some discernment; he couldn't be one of those brainless, foolish sons.
That string of gems looked incredibly valuable; no matter how he looked at it, this wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
"Ah? Me?" Tang San pointed at his own face, looking at a loss. "I think you've misunderstood something, haven't you?"
"The person in front of you isn't a Work-Study Student, but I am, quite literally, a Work-Study Student." How could he lose the title of Work-Study Student the moment he appeared? Who could he even reason with about this?
"Hmph, you're even spouting such lies?" Xiao Chenyu thought Tang San was toying with him and flew into a rage, waving his hand.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll be forced to drink a forfeit! Don't blame me for being impolite! Ling Feng! Attack!" He couldn't care about anything else now; so many people were watching.
Regardless of his background, he would beat him up first and ask questions later.
"Although I don't know what you've misunderstood, I won't be holding back!" Tang San walked in front of Du Hao, his posture incredibly calm.
After all, he had already obtained his first soul ring, so he wasn't panicked at all by this bunch of nobodies.
Du Hao calmly shielded Tang San behind him, then moved to Xiao Wu's side, ready to watch the show.
Facing the rapidly attacking Ling Feng, Tang San first took a deep breath, then immediately assumed a strange stance.
He whispered, "Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds, Taiji gives birth to two forms!"
The surrounding breeze moved with Tang San's motions, slowly forming an airtight Taiji circle around him.
Ling Feng, who hadn't noticed this, still charged fiercely toward Tang San's face!
Yet Tang San remained slow and steady, standing motionless as if he hadn't reacted at all.
"Brother Hao, is Tang San reliable?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly from beside Du Hao.
She knew it wouldn't matter if Tang San lost, but if he got hurt or bruised, she, as the big sister, would still be worried.
To this, Du Hao waved his hand.
He said with a confident expression, "You can rest 100 percent assured. I know this guy Tang San too well; he's very cunning. It'll be absolutely fine!" Du Hao had complete faith in Tang San's combat prowess.
Although he didn't know why Tang San's moves were incomplete and half-baked, his little brain was incredibly sharp.
With those little moves of his, he might even be three points stronger than the Tang San in the original work.
After all, those moves had been heavily modified...
Things went exactly as Du Hao had said; the situation on the field underwent a subversive reversal almost in the next instant!
Ling Feng, who had been attacking, was slammed hard onto the ground by an Indian Flying Pancake the moment he got close to Tang San!
This silky-smooth maneuver left not only the Work-Study Students, who had just appointed a new boss, but even Xiao Chenyu's side staring in stunned silence!
"You little brat! Go polish my shoes!" Tang San, a grandmaster of his generation, gestured provocatively, not taking these people seriously at all!
"You, you!" Xiao Chenyu's fingers trembled with rage. He never expected that this kid in front of him would be even more infuriating than the last bastard!
But among his group, the strongest, Liu Long, and the fastest, Ling Feng, had both been defeated. Of those remaining, he was the only one who could be considered decent.
If he went up now, he reckoned he wouldn't be able to win either.
However, facing the crowd behind him, Xiao Chenyu finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"San, come down once you're done. Let Xiao Wu go up and play for a bit next!" Du Hao glanced at the little rabbit beside him who was eager to try; if he didn't let her go, she would probably turn the place upside down.
"Mm, alright." Tang San shrugged and agreed very readily.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the two strongest-looking people on the opposite side clearly had no intention of coming forward, so he still had a chance of winning—or at least, it wouldn't look too ugly.
It seemed they were leaving him enough face, after all. He decided he would bully the Work-Study Students a little less in the future.
Just as Xiao Chenyu was thinking this, on the other side, the eager Xiao Wu immediately dragged the slow-moving Tang San back. "Aiya, why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up!"
After pulling Tang San back into the ranks, the excited Xiao Wu immediately leaped out, which made even Tang San click his tongue.
To be honest, Tang San couldn't quite appreciate Xiao Wu's fiery personality.
"Brother Hao, is it really okay for Sister Xiao Wu to be like this?" Tang San asked in a low voice as he came to Du Hao's side.
To this, Du Hao waved his hand grandly.
"It's absolutely fine! Xiao Wu's strength is top-notch!" His words clearly showed great confidence in Xiao Wu.
"Although, but..." Tang San stopped mid-sentence, wanting to warn Du Hao but unsure of how to phrase it.
After all, he couldn't just come out and say that Xiao Wu had a problematic personality, could he?
After pondering for a long time and glancing at his good brother, Tang San decided to be honest and offer a reminder.
"Brother Hao, don't you think Xiao Wu is a bit too lively?" Tang San said tactfully.
As for what he left unsaid, he felt that Xiao Wu was a bit too sharp-tongued.
"Not at all, I think she's great." As he spoke, he wiped the corner of his mouth, "I just happen to like this type~"
Seeing this, Tang San was at a loss.
"Alright, say no more, I understand what you mean." Du Hao reached out and hooked his arm around Tang San's neck, "I have my own sense of propriety; after all, this is the only hobby I have."
"Fine then."
Seeing Tang San's expression, Du Hao laughed and patted his back, "Alright, let's watch the show."
The two sides facing off had already begun to announce their martial souls.
"Xiao Chenyu, martial soul Wolf, level 11, one-ring battle soul master!" As he spoke, a white soul ring appeared beneath his feet. He looked at Xiao Wu opposite him with a solemn expression, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
After all, the previous two had already capsized; he absolutely could not fail here!
"Xiao Wu, martial soul Soft Bone Rabbit, level 12, one-ring battle soul master." Flicking the scorpion braid swaying behind her, Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Chenyu before her, eager to give it a try.
"How is that possible?" Opposite her, Xiao Chenning looked at the cute little girl before him with a serious face.
"What's wrong? If you're scared, just call me Big Sister Xiao Wu..."
