Three-Five Combo's Tacit Showdown

Hu Liena nodded. "Sure. How do you want to compete?"

Huo Yuhao suggested, "A two-on-two match. You and Xie Yue against Xiao Wu and Tang San."

Xiao Wu asked doubtfully, "Why aren't you and Wulin fighting us?"

Hu Liena immediately smiled at that. "Xiao Wu, I suggest you two fight my brother and me first."

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "Then I want to see whether Huo Yuhao is really as powerful as you say."

Tang Wulin watched the four people about to fight, his eyes immediately lighting up. Was the legendary scene of Charm versus Charm finally about to happen?

Xiao Wu and Hu Liena moved at the same time, shouting in unison:

"Charm!"

Their beautiful eyes each emitted a different radiance. Xiao Wu's Charm gave off a cute, gentle feeling, while Hu Liena's Charm exuded a bewitching, seductive aura.

Hu Liena's spiritual power was slightly stronger than Xiao Wu's, but Xiao Wu had ultimately succeeded in disrupting Hu Liena's plan to seize the initiative.

A Moon Blade suddenly flew toward Xiao Wu. Tang San immediately used Blue Silver Grass to wrap around Xiao Wu's waist and pull her back to his side, while countless strands of Blue Silver Grass blocked the Moon Blade's cutting edge.

Next, Tang San stepped through Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and gradually approached Hu Liena. He used Spider Web Restraint on her, intending to disrupt her movements and buy time for Xiao Wu.

The next moment, Xiao Wu used Teleportation and appeared behind Xie Yue in a flash. She immediately used her first soul skill—Waist Bow—and swiftly ambushed Xie Yue, taking him down.

Tang San and Xiao Wu each held a sleeve arrow, aiming them at Hu Liena and Xie Yue respectively to threaten their opponents.

Clearly, Tang San and Xiao Wu had won this duel.

Xie Yue smiled. "The coordination between you two is remarkably seamless. You've truly made me see you in a new light."

Xiao Wu tossed her long hair. "Of course. We're the strongest Three-Five Combo."

Hu Liena smiled faintly. "Then let us see whether the Three-Five Combo can defeat Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "You should rest first. I'll go catch some game for you to eat."

Tang Wulin chimed in, "Then I'll pick some wild fruit for everyone."

Seeing this, Hu Liena and Xie Yue said, "Then we'll gather branches for firewood."

Tang San smiled. "Xiao Wu, let's find some dry firewood and help too."

Xiao Wu nodded. Thus, everyone divided up the work and began their own tasks.

Tang San not only returned with Xiao Wu carrying some firewood, but also unexpectedly picked some wild carrots.

After Xie Yue lit all the firewood, Huo Yuhao continuously turned a barbecue rack made from branches, gradually roasting the wild boar on it. He sprinkled some salt he had brought with him over the meat.

Everyone ate the wild fruit Tang Wulin had picked while watching Huo Yuhao make carrot soup.

Huo Yuhao first peeled the carrots with a fruit knife, then sliced them. Next, he used the fire element to boil the water in everyone's cups, added the sliced carrots into each cup, and finally sprinkled a little salt into every serving of soup.

The simple, unadorned carrot soup was complete.

Finally, Huo Yuhao handed out the roasted meat. Everyone held skewers of grilled meat in one hand and ate with relish, while holding cups of steaming carrot soup in the other. They could not help praising it in unison:

"Delicious!"

Hu Liena smiled. "I never expected your cooking to be this good, Huo Yuhao. This is even tastier than what restaurant chefs make."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly in agreement. "I've never had carrot soup this good before. Today has truly opened my eyes."

Huo Yuhao laughed. "It's just a simple home-cooked meal. As long as you enjoy it."

Tang San's mouth twitched. "Xiao Wu, if you want a carrot feast, I can make it for you every day from now on."

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately sparkled. "Really? Brother, you have to keep your word."

Tang San patted his chest. "When have I ever lied to you? I'll definitely do what I say."

After Tang Wulin finished the grilled meat in his hand, he blinked his lively eyes and stared fixedly at the grilled meat in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Huo Yuhao smiled and handed his grilled meat to Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin only took one bite before returning it to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao understood that Tang Wulin was reluctant to finish it, so he took another bite himself before handing it back to Tang Wulin.

"Wulin, you take a bite, then I take a bite. We can take turns eating it, all right?"

Tang Wulin nodded. "Mm. Brother Yuhao treats me the best."

And so, they took one bite each and eventually finished the grilled meat together.

Watching Tang Wulin gulp down the carrot soup in large mouthfuls, Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.

"Wulin, drink slowly. If you drink too fast, you'll get hiccups."

Sure enough, Tang Wulin let out a full belch the next moment.

Tang Wulin immediately stuck out his tongue. "It's all because Brother Yuhao's soup was too delicious. I couldn't help myself."

Huo Yuhao wiped the soup from the corner of Tang Wulin's mouth. "All right, all right. It's all my fault."

After everyone finished lunch, they entered a state of meditation and cultivation.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Wu stood before Huo Yuhao. "Come on. Let me see just how powerful you really are."

At this moment, Tang San stood beside Xiao Wu, while Tang Wulin stood beside Huo Yuhao. A battle between the four could erupt at any moment.

Although Huo Yuhao had used his Simulation Soul Skill to conceal the true age colors of his and Tang Wulin's soul rings, Tang Wulin did not want to attack his mother. Therefore, he decided to properly honor his father with his fists in this battle.

Xiao Wu seized the initiative and used Teleportation to appear before Huo Yuhao in an instant. She immediately unleashed her first soul skill—Waist Bow—on him.

Huo Yuhao reacted with incredible speed. He grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle with one hand, promptly interrupting her soft technique, then pushed her away from himself.

"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"

Seeing that close combat had failed, Xiao Wu changed tactics and turned to long-range control.

However, Huo Yuhao directly ignored Xiao Wu's Charm and instead shifted his gaze toward Tang Wulin's battle.

"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"

When Huo Yuhao saw Tang San using Spider Web Restraint on Tang Wulin, he shook his head helplessly. "Too slow."

With the aid of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, Tang Wulin had predicted the point where Tang San's attack would land in advance. In their eyes, Tang San's attacks were like snails, slowed several times over.

Thus, Tang Wulin easily dodged the control of Spider Web Restraint. The next moment, his gaze sharpened, and his aura gradually rose.

"Golden Dragon Shakes Heaven!"

Tang Wulin's imposing punch thundered toward Tang San.

Tang San immediately used Blue Silver Grass to form a wall, trying to block the might of Golden Dragon Shakes Heaven.

However, how could the power of the Golden Dragon King be stopped by fragile Blue Silver Grass?

In the end, Tang San was forced back by the impact, his entire body sent flying.
