Tang San Was Crude, Su Chen Was Gallant (Please Keep Reading)

Su Chen hurried toward the academy's back mountain.

"Su Chen—"

A crisp, sweet voice called out from near to far.

Su Chen did not even need to look to know that Xiao Wu had come looking for him again.

With a rabbit kick, Xiao Wu leaped lightly and nimbly forward, landing on Su Chen's back.

She took a deep sniff!

"Su Chen, you're finally back. Hehe..."

Su Chen kept trying to pull Xiao Wu off, but her legs were incredibly strong. She clung to him like an octopus, refusing to come down no matter how hard he tried.

"Get down already! No, I just got back to the academy. How did you find me?"

Xiao Wu half-closed her eyes, enjoying the intimate contact with Su Chen.

Whenever she drew close to Su Chen, especially in such intimate contact, her Soft Boned Enchanting Rabbit martial soul would stir, and her Soul Power circulation would increase by at least thirty percent.

This was the influence of a superior being upon an inferior one.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit could be considered the ancestor of all rabbit-type soul beasts.

"No, I'm not getting down."

"Hehe, I remembered your scent. As long as you're within a one-li radius, I can find you accurately."

A trace of attachment flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes. Ever since her mother had been killed, she had become a child with neither father nor mother.

From Su Chen, she sensed the familiar, trustworthy aura of one of her own kind.

Even the suppression of the Lunar Jade Rabbit over the Soft Boned Enchanting Rabbit—

Xiao Wu took it as a resonance between kin.

Su Chen was in a hurry, so he could only tug and struggle with Xiao Wu as they made their way to the academy's back mountain.

What he saw next made his expression darken.

Tang San wore a savage expression as he controlled Blue Silver Grass to bind Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long, and the others.

Wang Sheng led a group of work-study students, settling grudges and grievances alike as they punched and kicked the bound students.

Blue Silver Grass truly was a useless martial soul, but after absorbing a hundred-year Soul Ring, it had still gained quite a few attribute enhancements.

Xiao Chenyu's wolf martial soul had suffered because he had only absorbed a ten-year Soul Ring, leaving him completely unable to break free from the Blue Silver Grass.

Su Chen frowned, rushed over, grabbed Wang Sheng by the shoulder, and threw him away.

With one grab, he tore apart the Blue Silver Grass binding Xiao Chenyu and quickly freed him.

Excitement and exhilaration flashed across Xiao Chenyu's face.

"Boss, you're finally back. That Tang San is too powerful. We actually got beaten by a bunch of work-study students. We've embarrassed you."

Seeing how filthy he was, with rope marks still visible on his face, Su Chen said,

"Step aside. Leave the rest to me."

At the same time, Tang San saw Xiao Wu lying on Su Chen's back and felt as though his heart had shattered.

Near-mad jealousy flashed through his eyes.

Why was Su Chen so good-looking? He didn't have to do anything, and Xiao Wu just threw herself at him.

What was the use of being good-looking? It was shallow and without substance. Xiao Wu had only been deceived by that pretty face.

I believe in Teacher. Once I learn Teacher's wisdom, Xiao Wu will definitely notice me. Teacher is ugly too, yet he can still attract girls. That is the charm of wisdom.

And Father too. Father is ugly as well, with a sallow face and hair as messy as a chicken nest. He still found Mother and had me. Though my mother was probably ugly too. Father was ugly, Mother was ugly, so that was why I was born this ugly.

An ugly appearance is not shameful. It is merely the road I took to get here...

Wang Sheng and the others could barely hold themselves together as well.

They looked at Xiao Wu on Su Chen's back, wanting to speak but stopping themselves.

They had once thought Xiao Wu would be a good boss who could stand up for them, but she had turned around and become a paying student, leaving them all behind.

Luckily, Tang San was at least somewhat reliable and had actually been willing to stand up for them.

Xiao Wu voluntarily jumped down from Su Chen's back, planted her hands on her waist, and stood protectively in front of him. Her brows rose sharply, making her look like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Tang San, bullying your classmates is really too crude."

Su Chen raised a hand to press Xiao Wu's shoulder, then stepped out from behind her. Behind his handsome face was another face even more handsome.

"Tang San, you took advantage of my absence to bully my followers. This is absolutely intolerable!"

"Even if we came from the same village, I'll make you pay today!"

Stars practically sparkled in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Su Chen, standing up for your classmates is so gallant."

Tang San: ...

(╥_╥)

Xiao Wu's blatant double standard filled Tang San with sorrow.

Thinking of all the unfair treatment he had suffered since awakening his martial soul—

Tang San's rage finally erupted. His eyes turned bloodshot, his breathing grew heavy, and he glared at Su Chen as he roared,

"Su Chen, I've endured you for a long time too!"

"Why does everyone like you? Old Jack likes you, that Su Yuntao from Spirit Hall values you, and even Xiao Wu is completely infatuated with you."

"Aren't you just a little better-looking, a little smoother with words, with a slightly better awakened martial soul and slightly higher innate Soul Power? Why do you get to suppress me at every turn?"

"My teacher said that there are no useless martial souls, only Soul Masters who cannot cultivate. Under Teacher's guidance, my Blue Silver Grass has already been completely transformed."

"Look at this—Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Seven or eight stalks of Blue Silver Grass wound toward him at once.

Because Tang San had absorbed a Datura Snake Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Grass truly resembled Datura Snakes at first glance.

With a thought, Su Chen summoned his Martial Soul Possession.

Golden-red flames swept forth. Before the Blue Silver Grass could wrap around him, it was reduced to ash by the Golden Crow True Flame.

The flames even spread along the Blue Silver Grass, burning toward Tang San's true body.

Tang San stared wide-eyed in disbelief. His resilient Blue Silver Grass was actually so fragile.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."

Su Chen spread his wings and shot forward in a golden streak of light.

As Su Chen drew ever closer, Tang San hurriedly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade.

He possessed a body full of martial arts skills, yet he did not dare approach Su Chen, whose entire body was wreathed in fire.

He could only continue controlling more Blue Silver Grass to bind Su Chen.

However, it was all futile.

The Blue Silver Grass ignited the moment it met fire, and several times it nearly led the flames back onto Tang San himself.

Su Chen pursued faster and more fiercely. With the supreme speed of Golden Crow Rainbow Flight, the distance between him and Tang San rapidly closed.

He threw a punch.

The scorching wave of fire made Tang San's cheeks burn, while every breath seared his lungs.

His face twitched. Through the coordination of Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, he deflected the direction of Su Chen's punch.

Su Chen gave a cold snort and immediately threw a second punch.

Golden Crow Radiant Sun!

After being enhanced, the force of this punch was so great that even Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon could not neutralize it. Tang San gritted his teeth and met it head-on with Mysterious Jade Hand.

With a bang, Tang San was sent flying, crashing to the ground seven or eight meters away. The flesh on his palms blistered from the heat, sending waves of searing pain through him.

Damn it, could Blue Silver Grass really be a completely useless martial soul? We both have only one Soul Ring, yet even after using Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eyes, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, I still can't do anything to him.

If I had more hidden weapons on me right now, I definitely wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
