Uchiha Tang San, Part Two

Seeing Xiao Chenyu surrender after just one exchange, Boss Xiao refused to accept it. Thinking of that burning slap, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Go, go! All of you, get them! Beat them half to death! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

At Boss Xiao's command, the older formal students he had called over for help all stepped forward.

Though Tang San, the one before them, had a thousand-year soul ring, they had strength in numbers. It was not certain they would lose.

Facing the group of formal students charging at him, Tang San's expression turned grave.

Blue Silver Grass's First Soul Skill activated. Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground and swept toward the formal students.

But they were, after all, upper-year formal students. The moment they saw Tang San activate his Soul Skill, they scattered in all directions as though they had planned it beforehand.

They surrounded Tang San in the middle, and no one made a move.

"Go."

Seeing this, Boss Xiao ordered two formal students to rush in from the left and right.

Tang San immediately activated Binding.

The wildly growing Blue Silver Grass, strengthened by the feedback from the thousand-year soul ring, proved truly formidable. The formal students who charged forward did not even get the chance to approach before they were bound in place by the Blue Silver Grass, unable to move.

At the very instant Tang San activated his Soul Skill, the formal students surrounding him swarmed forward. In the blink of an eye, they had reached him.

This is bad.

Tang San inwardly cried out. He had not expected these formal students to coordinate so well, choosing the gap when he activated his Soul Skill to rush him all at once.

"Hmph! You want to hit my little brother? Did you ask me first?"

With a sharp cry, Xiao Wu, who had long been unable to hold herself back, revealed her thousand-year soul ring.

Another wave of startled cries erupted from the crowd when they saw Xiao Wu's thousand-year soul ring.

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Xiao Wu leaped forward and charged straight at the formal students.

Because Lu Chen had helped raise the age of Xiao Wu's soul ring, her Soul Power had now reached level fifteen.

With the enormous gap in Soul Power, combined with Xiao Wu activating Blade of Light to increase her attack power by fifty percent, the formal students could not withstand even a single punch from her before crashing to the ground.

The fierce Xiao Wu was like a wolf among sheep. Every time she threw a punch, another kid went down.

In only a few moments, the formal students who had surrounded Tang San were sprawled all over the ground.

Tang San stared at Xiao Wu in shock. He looked at his own soul ring, then at Xiao Wu's, and suddenly realized that Xiao Wu's soul ring was a deeper color than his.

That meant Xiao Wu's soul ring was even older than his.

"Impossible. Teacher said that even a Titled Douluo's soul ring configuration would at best begin with a hundred-year soul ring.

"No Soul Master had ever started with a thousand-year soul ring. The only reason I could absorb one was because I possessed a cultivation method this world did not have—the Tang Sect's secret Mysterious Heaven Skill. Why does Xiao Wu..."

Tang San thought this to himself. Had his teacher lied to him? Or was his teacher's theory actually flawed? It seemed he would have to tell his teacher about this tonight. He wondered what his teacher would think after learning of it.

The battle ended quickly. With Xiao Wu joining in, it had become completely one-sided.

"Y-you... don't... come any closer! My father is the City Lord of Nuoding City! If you dare hit me, I'll have my father expel all of you!"

Boss Xiao staggered back several steps, his face filled with terror. Facing Xiao Wu as she closed in step by step, her fists cracking loudly, even his voice trembled.

"From now on, I'm the boss of this academy. Whenever you formal students see me in the future, you'll call me Sister Xiao Wu. Do you understand?"

"U-understood." Their voices were as soft as mosquitoes, and their tones were clearly full of unwillingness.

"Didn't you eat? Say it louder for Sister Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu's soul ring lit up as her First Soul Skill activated, gathering a ball of explosive Soul Power in her hand.

A Soul Power Wave struck directly behind Boss Xiao.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Boss Xiao turned his head back in fear, only to discover in horror that the large tree behind him had been blasted open with a huge hole through its middle by Xiao Wu's unknown attack.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the many students, the tree, having lost the support of its trunk, crashed down right before Boss Xiao's eyes.

"Understood, understood! From now on, Sister Xiao Wu, this academy is yours to command! I'll never be Boss Xiao of Nuoding Academy again!"

Boss Xiao was terrified out of his wits. Only now did he realize that these work-study students before him were probably no ordinary work-study students. They might be the illegitimate children of some major figures from powerful sects.

The uproar soon died down. This contest between the formal students and the work-study students ended in an overwhelming victory for the work-study students.

The names Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly spread throughout Nuoding Academy, and for a time, they were the center of attention.

Inside the dormitory.

"Hahaha, Sister Xiao Wu is amazing! Those formal students weren't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. What weaklings!"

Xiao Wu stood barefoot on her bed with her hands on her hips, her grin growing increasingly wild.

"Sister Xiao Wu, why do you have a thousand-year soul ring?"

Tang San, who had been deep in thought, finally spoke.

"What do you mean? Don't you have a thousand-year soul ring too? Are you saying I don't deserve one?"

Xiao Wu jumped down from the bed, grabbed Tang San by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Uh... no, no."

Remembering Xiao Wu's violence and that fallen tree, Tang San immediately gave in. That destructive power was not something his small body could endure.

He promptly shifted his attention to Lu Chen.

"Little Chen, I challenge you now. From this moment on, you're my little brother."

Lu Chen, who was braiding Gu Yuena's hair, froze. He had not expected Little San to become impatient to challenge him so quickly.

"Being Brother Chen's little brother isn't so hard, is it? You get the best food and drink. You think that just because you have a thousand-year soul ring, you can rise up and start singing?"

"Little Chen, are you scared?" Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass martial soul in provocation.

Now that he had a soul ring while Lu Chen was still stuck at the level of a level-ten Soul Scholar, no matter how strong Lu Chen was, he could not possibly break free from his Blue Silver Grass.

"Didn't see you for one day and you're already getting cocky. You think you're something again, huh, Uchiha Tang San?"

Lu Chen stood up. This time, he did not even want to reveal his martial soul as he strode directly toward Tang San.

Seeing this, Tang San immediately activated Blue Silver Grass's First Soul Skill, Binding.

"Little Chen, you can't move now. You can only let me do as I please, so from now on, I'm your big—"

Before Tang San could finish his smug words, Lu Chen, who had been trapped, casually tugged and snapped the Blue Silver Grass apart. Then he rushed forward at an unbelievable speed.

Tang San did not even have time to activate Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track before he felt a punch land in his stomach.

"Little San, go outside and buy some fruit. While you're at it, get your Sister Xiao Wu some good carrots."
