Tang San, I'm Going to Ruthlessly Control You

Xiao Wuji paused his update, staring at the screen with intense focus, thinking to himself once more: Tang San, I am going to manipulate you ruthlessly!

Seeing that his opponent used a staff—not unlike his own bamboo pole—Tang San let out a deep shout: "Well come!"

Mindful of his identity as a Tang Sect disciple, his ambition soared. With a resonant voice and following the Ancestor's instructions, he stepped out using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps.

So fast! Liu Long felt a jolt of alarm. In broad daylight, his opponent seemed to have transformed into a fierce ghost, with only the bamboo pole in his hand remaining clearly visible.

"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Pole Vault!" White light flickered over Tang San's body. He pushed hard against the bamboo pole, and his entire person instantly vaulted into the sky.

Although Liu Long was momentarily dazzled by the light, the glow illuminated Tang San's figure clearly.

Yet, with Tang San in the air, the staff in Liu Long's hand—though quite long—could not reach him.

Liu Long possessed a fair amount of combat experience. He shifted his stance, sprinted toward the spot where Tang San had planted his pole, and swung down viciously.

Looking down at Liu Long from high above, Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light. He activated the Purple Demon Eye, seeing Liu Long's movements with perfect clarity. He then employed the Crane-Catching Dragon-Subduing technique, using the leverage to yank the bamboo pole from the ground and slam it fiercely toward Liu Long's shoulder.

His own strength was already formidable; aided by the pole's elasticity, the strike was not only heavy and powerful but as swift as lightning.

With a loud thud, Liu Long knelt firmly on the ground. A crack echoed from his shoulder as the bone shattered, and blood instantly seeped through his clothes.

Tang San landed lightly on the ground, looking at the defeated Liu Long with great satisfaction.

The Tang Sect was world-renowned for its hidden weapons, and his perception was extraordinary. He had only used one-tenth of the Ancestor's instructions, yet the power was already beyond what a high-grade student could withstand.

"Another work-study student who has obtained a soul ring. This year's work-study students are truly interesting." Xiao Chenyu's gaze sharpened. He had only read in the book that he was supposed to subdue Xiao Wu, but the outcome had not yet been updated.

However, relying on the power of his Beast Soul and his seniority, he felt it would be a simple matter to deal with the newly enrolled work-study students.

"Boss, let me handle this!" a tall, thin noble student volunteered.

Xiao Chenyu waved his hand. "Let me do it."

He stepped forward a few paces and announced loudly, "Xiao Chenyu, sixth-grade student, Martial Soul 'Wolf', Level 11, one-ring Battle Soul Master."

Tang San had learned from his reading that announcing one's Martial Soul and level was a sign of respect toward an opponent. The Ancestor is truly omnipotent and observant, he thought.

Xiao Chenyu's body glowed with green light, his muscles expanded, his eyes gradually turned a pale green, and a white soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

Aside from the color of the soul ring, he was quite similar to Su Yuntao.

Tang San said calmly, "Tang San, first-grade work-study student, Martial Soul 'Blue Silver Grass', Level 11, one-ring Tool Soul Master."

Xiao Chenyu snorted and charged forward the moment he moved.

A beast without reason. Tang San sneered. He circled Xiao Chenyu using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, his soul ring flickering repeatedly as he drove bamboo poles into the ground around his opponent.

Missing his strike, Xiao Chenyu immediately fell into the midst of Tang San's storm-like assault.

He could never have imagined that although Tang San looked young, he had already lived for thirty-five years and possessed incredibly rich combat experience.

Now, having received the combat strategy specially developed by Xiao Wuji, even though his first soul ring was only a ten-year Lone Bamboo, its power was extraordinary.

Xiao Chenyu roared, dodging left and right, but as more bamboo poles were planted around him, his space to maneuver grew smaller and smaller. He began to lash out with his claws, trying to destroy them.

Tang San had calculated everything long ago. Seeing Xiao Chenyu struggling to move, he lunged forward, grabbed the bamboo poles stuck in the ground, and launched them at Xiao Chenyu again.

Seeing the bamboo poles whistling through the air, Xiao Chenyu was startled. Knowing he couldn't catch them, he hurriedly sidestepped.

In the blink of an eye, Tang San seized the opportunity, gathered the previously launched poles, and fired them in a barrage, surrounding Xiao Chenyu completely.

Xiao Chenyu's limbs were trapped within the bamboo cage. He exerted all his strength, but the poles possessed the tough properties of the Lone Bamboo, and with Xiao Chenyu's current power, he could not break free.

Watching Xiao Chenyu become a trapped beast, Tang San wore a look of triumph. The Ancestor's method is truly effective.

A look of satisfaction flashed across Xiao Wuji's face as he watched. Although the Mandala Snake soul ring in the original work wasn't the best choice, if he had just wrapped it around Xiao Chenyu, he would have been subdued instantly—no need for all this trouble.

The students were all left dumbfounded as they watched Tang San firing the bamboo poles like a bamboo-pole spirit.

Xiao Chenyu struggled a few times, but finding it impossible to break free, he said with a dark face, "Let me go, I admit defeat."

The countless bamboo poles vanished. Tang San said indifferently, "Since you have admitted defeat, then do as you and Xiao Wu agreed."

Xiao Wu looked quite pleased. A red light shone from her body, and under the faint red glow, her eyes began to turn red, and her ears slowly grew longer, standing up from the sides of her head covered in soft white fur.

At this moment, her figure seemed to grow taller, a gentle soul power aura fluctuated around her body, and a yellow hundred-year soul ring rose from beneath her feet.

"Xiao Wu, first-grade work-study student, Martial Soul 'Rabbit', Level 12, one-ring Battle Soul Master."

Xiao Chenyu thought to himself that since he had lost to the Level 11 Tang San, he was likely no match for this Level 12 Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wuji immediately published the drafted chapters involving Xiao Chenyu, the gatekeeper, and Tang Hao.

This was a familiar trope: after a young villain fails, they call upon their family elders—the small one is beaten, so the old one comes out.

But Tang San was a bit of a bug, having a Title Douluo like Tang Hao watching over him from the shadows.

In short, the story went that Xiao Chenyu told his father, the City Lord, about the work-study student Xiao Wu, wanting his father to step in and help him get Xiao Wu, and then subdue Tang San as his lackey.

Tang Hao was naturally displeased; Tang San was not only the awakener of the Clear Sky Hammer but also his precious son who could resurrect his wife.

The gatekeeper, as a newly recruited lackey of Xiao Chenyu, saw the disheveled Tang San and began to curse, thinking Xiao Chenyu would reward him handsomely.

But he was met with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, leaving him without a corpse to bury.

From then on, Tang San had no more troubles at Notting Academy.

Xiao Wuji felt that in this part of the content, aside from the gatekeeper exception, Xiao Chenyu should have taken action, and Tang Hao should have struck as well; otherwise, a City Lord's son simply submitting to Xiao Wu didn't quite fit Xiao Chenyu's status, so he wrote it out.

With the latest chapters for the three characters published, Xiao Wuji had finished his updates and released them to Bibi Dong.
