He Had Courted Death

Xiao Wu slightly adjusted her condition before activating her First Soul Skill.

"First Soul Skill—Waist Bow!"

She crouched slightly, then exerted strength through her legs.

Her entire body shot toward Chen Ping'an like a cannonball.

The instant she drew near Chen Ping'an, Xiao Wu spun around and hooked her foot around his neck.

At the same time, she gathered strength in her right foot and kicked against Chen Ping'an's solid chest.

In an instant, pink light surged forth, and two gleaming yellow rings appeared around Xiao Wu.

At that moment, she used her Soul Rings to prove to every spectator that she was a Soul Grandmaster.

In the Soul Master stands, when Tang San saw Xiao Wu's right foot accurately hook around Chen Ping'an's neck, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He softly said two words, "Goodbye."

Xiao Wu's First Soul Ring skill, Waist Bow, had been activated.

Against Soul Masters of the same rank, it could basically defeat them instantly. Even fighting above her rank would not have been a problem.

Yet Chen Ping'an remained standing in place without making a single move.

Then, just as Xiao Wu was about to throw Chen Ping'an into the air, she discovered that she could not move him at all.

The Chen Ping'an before her was as steady as a massive thousand-pound cauldron rooted to the ground, showing no sign of being shaken.

No matter how hard Xiao Wu tried, it was useless.

Sensing that something was wrong, Xiao Wu hurriedly retreated and widened the distance between herself and Chen Ping'an.

"Something's wrong. You didn't move at all!"

Xiao Wu stared at Chen Ping'an, desperately trying to think of a way to defeat him.

"Hmph."

Unable to come up with anything, Xiao Wu flashed forward and instantly arrived before Chen Ping'an, intending to win through speed.

But she was wrong. The instant she reached Chen Ping'an, he caught her again and threw her out, sending her straight off the fighting platform.

It happened so quickly that no one could see what had just occurred. They only knew that Xiao Wu had suddenly flown through the air and crashed outside the arena.

In the stands, Tang San watched Xiao Wu get thrown out, and his heart instantly clenched as he stood up.

Seeing his 100,000 Year Soul Ring being treated like that made his anger surge even more.

After a while, the spectators finally reacted and erupted into thunderous applause.

Without even revealing his Soul Rings, he had defeated a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.

Among those of the same rank, that made him practically invincible.

The host also came to his senses and hurried onto the Soul Battle Stage, loudly announcing, "Battle Soul Master Ping'an wins, with one victory and zero losses. Battle Soul Master Xiao Wu has zero victories and one loss. Master Ping'an, please register your points after stepping down."

The pace of the matches was very fast. Perhaps because the battle between Xiao Wu and Ping'an had delivered a brief but exciting spectacle, the audience in the stands had become interested.

After all, a cute young woman had participated in the fight. Battles at this level were rarely seen, and even though the beauty had lost, she had quickly ignited their enthusiasm. They wished the next match would feature another beauty.

"That guy has no idea how to treat a woman gently. I'd love to go up there and tear him apart. He went way too far."

Tang San coldly watched Chen Ping'an, his gaze making it seem as though he wanted to skin him alive and devour him whole.

He did not know why he hated the black-clad man before him so much. It was as though this person had not only beaten his fiancée, but also killed his father, leaving them with a blood feud as deep as the sea.

After Chen Ping'an had moved away from the Soul Battle Stage, the host announced the next match.

However, when he looked at the match roster, he was a little dumbfounded. It took him quite some time before he finally called it out.

"For the next match, Master Ping'an will once again take the stage, facing the newly arrived Soul Grandmaster, Tang San.

"Like Master Ping'an, this newly arrived Soul Grandmaster Tang San is also a level twenty-nine powerhouse. Which of them is stronger will soon be revealed."

Tang San had not expected that the second match would be between him and that mysterious man.

What perfect timing.

I'll beat him up properly and see what he really looks like.

Not only had Tang San not expected it, even the host had not expected it.

Under normal circumstances, no one would fight two consecutive matches.

First, it prevented the audience from growing tired of watching the same person. Second, it gave Soul Masters enough rest, making the matches more enjoyable to watch.

The moment Tang San stepped onto the stage, he revealed his two shit-yellow Soul Rings.

As a Control System Battle Soul Master, Tang San was in no hurry. Instead, he carefully sized up the black-clad man.

As a transmigrator, he was invincible among those of the same rank and feared no one.

Even if he fought above his rank, he had nothing to fear.

"You injured my Xiao Wu. Today, I'll make you pay the price."

Tang San's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.

Now they understood that the little girl who had just taken the stage was this man's lover.

That stirred their interest even more.

At that moment, the host also understood why the match had been arranged this way.

Wouldn't this perfectly stir up the audience's excitement and ignite the atmosphere, bringing the entire venue to its climax?

Chen Ping'an remained silent, making the supremely confident Tang San feel deeply humiliated.

He actually dared to ignore him. He had already courted death.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass vines steadily closed in on Chen Ping'an.

Although he was invincible within the same realm, he did not dare to be careless against the silent Chen Ping'an.

He could only probe him slowly and uncover his opponent's true capabilities.

As the Blue Silver Grass vines continuously approached him, Chen Ping'an still made no move and simply stood quietly in place.

When the vines were less than a meter from Chen Ping'an, Tang San suddenly activated his First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement.

Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Chen Ping'an.

At the same time, tiny thorns emerged from the Blue Silver Grass. Each thorn carried potent poison that could swiftly numb a Soul Master and seal their Soul Power.

"Did it work?"

Looking at Chen Ping'an wrapped in his vines, Tang San felt that something was off.

His opponent was acting far too strangely, just standing there and letting himself be attacked.

Could there be some scheme at work?

From beginning to end, Tang San had not sensed any fluctuation of Soul Power from Chen Ping'an. His opponent seemed like an ordinary person.

That made him even more cautious.

"Hmph, playing tricks. I'll take your life now."

Although Tang San had spoken harshly, he remained extremely cautious as he approached. He had also prepared Hidden Weapons. If anything unexpected happened, once the Hidden Weapons were released, they would surely take Chen Ping'an's life.

His slow advance also left the audience confused. How could someone be so cautious? Wouldn't it be enough to rush forward and kill him in one blow?

After roughly two and a half minutes, Tang San finally approached Chen Ping'an.

The two were no more than an arm's length apart.

Suddenly, a sense of danger struck. Tang San immediately realized something was wrong and tried to retreat, but it was already too late.

Chen Ping'an broke free from the restraints of Blue Silver Entanglement and drove a fist into Tang San's abdomen, sending him flying as his entire body twisted.

He crashed heavily onto the ground and completely lost consciousness.
