Veins bulged on Dai Mubai's forehead. He strained with every last ounce of strength he had, only to find that all his efforts were in vain.
"Damn it... you're nothing but mere Blue Silver Grass, while I'm a White Tiger..."
In his rage, he had already lost all reason. To Dai Mubai, running into Tang San's freakishly strong Blue Silver Grass had been absurd enough. How could there be a second person in this world whose Blue Silver Grass was so powerful?
Su Bai sneered. "A White Tiger? You certainly have a vivid imagination."
"You're just a little kitty, yet you dare call yourself a White Tiger. What a joke."
"Shut up!" Dai Mubai roared, finally tearing through the Blue Silver Grass binding him and taking a step forward. "Die, you bastard! Now I'll show you the true power of the White Tiger!"
His White Tiger Vajra Transformation was still active, greatly enhancing his strength.
The spectators around them widened their eyes, watching the arena closely.
None of them had imagined that Faceless would be so powerful. He had been dominating the Evil-Eyed White Tiger the entire time!
Just as everyone was wondering how fierce the rest of the battle would be.
The Blue Silver Grass Dai Mubai had torn apart suddenly surged with vitality. Both severed ends began growing, and even more Blue Silver Grass than before lunged viciously at him, binding him tight.
As the Blue Silver Grass tightened its grip, Dai Mubai was forced to his knees, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is Blue Silver Grass?! How is that possible!"
Without so much as a glance at him, Su Bai turned and left.
The outcome had been decided.
Only when the referee announced the result did the surrounding spectators snap awake as though emerging from a dream. Seemingly only then realizing what had happened, they began shouting.
"Fuck you! Give us our money back!"
"Trash Evil-Eyed White Tiger! You can't even beat Blue Silver Grass! What the hell are you good for?"
"I had so much faith in you, and this is how you fight? You useless piece of shit!"
Mockery and abuse rang out endlessly, making Dai Mubai's face alternate between livid and flushed. To him, this was worse than being killed!
Yet that was not what angered him most. Even now, he still couldn't break free of the Blue Silver Grass binding him!
"Faceless... you bastard! I'll kill you!"
Below, in the spectator stands.
As Tang San watched Faceless's figure, a name immediately surfaced in his mind.
Su Bai!
There was no mistake. Faceless had to be that bastard Su Bai!
Apart from Faceless, no one else in this world had Blue Silver Grass this powerful!
After Su Bai defeated him for the second time, Tang San had reflected painfully on that humiliation and resolved to cultivate diligently, determined to regain the face he had lost.
He had never expected Su Bai to withdraw from school outright after that day. It had nearly driven Tang San mad with anger, and he had thought he would never get a chance at revenge.
Unexpectedly, he had caught sight of Su Bai at the Great Soul Arena today. To Tang San, this was undoubtedly a welcome surprise.
Su Bai... just you wait!
Tang San gritted his teeth and unconsciously touched the Sleeve Arrow on his arm. In his eyes, Su Bai had long since earned his death, and he was now considering how to kill him with an underhanded strike.
Nearby, Xiao Wu sat beside Ning Rongrong, her expression the complete opposite of Tang San's.
Her eyes widened as she murmured, "Su Bai, I finally get to see you again..."
With that, Xiao Wu stood up and hurried straight after him.
"Xiao Wu, where are you going?"
Ning Rongrong had been watching with great interest as Ma Hongjun and Oscar tugged at the Blue Silver Grass binding Dai Mubai. Only after Xiao Wu had gone some distance did she notice that the person beside her was gone.
Xiao Wu kept running without even looking back.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and turned back to enjoy Dai Mubai's misfortune. She couldn't have been happier to see someone put him in his place.
After watching a little longer, she didn't forget to fan the flames.
"Tang San, your Xiao Wu ran off. Aren't you going to check on her?"
At her words, Tang San's brows lowered, and the murderous intent in his eyes deepened.
Over the past few years, his relationship with Xiao Wu had been neither close nor distant. They were merely ordinary friends.
Tang San had always wanted to take things further and find a true friend in this world. He had originally thought Xiao Wu would be that person, only for Su Bai to stick his foot in and ruin everything.
Xiao Wu probably went to find Su Bai. That damned bastard.
A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he walked out of the Great Soul Arena.
Backstage in the competitors' area, Su Bai removed his mask and blended into the crowd. He had just reached the lobby when he heard footsteps approaching.
Then he heard someone leap high into the air behind him.
Su Bai turned and saw that it was indeed Xiao Wu. He quickly stepped back.
The enhancements Ah Yin's Soul Spirit granted him went far beyond Soul Skills alone. She also supplied him with tremendous vitality.
Su Bai's body was already strong enough now, his five senses sharp, allowing him to dodge Xiao Wu's surprise attack with ease.
Besides, he had already guessed that Xiao Wu would come looking for him.
Su Bai knew perfectly well that the Shrek Seven Devils would appear in Suotuo City around this time.
This was precisely why he had risked coming within Haozi's sight again: to find Xiao Wu.
Seeing Su Bai dodge her, Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows.
"Well, look at you! It's been so long, and your reflexes haven't slipped. Sister Xiao Wu is very pleased."
"But it's been six whole years, and you never came looking for me. Sister Xiao Wu is very unhappy!"
Su Bai immediately laughed at that.
"Didn't I tell you ages ago that we'd see each other again?"
Xiao Wu kicked him and said resentfully, "You didn't say it would take six years!"
"I don't care. You're buying me a meal later, and you have to buy me things too. Otherwise..."
Su Bai glanced at her and raised an eyebrow.
"Otherwise what?"
Xiao Wu gave a petulant huff. "Otherwise, I'll beat you into the ground!"
Knowing her temperament, Su Bai wasn't angry. He nodded with a smile. "All right, all right. Whatever you say. Let's go."
After all, Xiao Wu had only taken human form recently and still had a child's temperament.
It immediately made Su Bai feel like some creepy older man luring away a child.
Still, that description wasn't exactly wrong.
Su Bai's ultimate goal was to form a contract with Xiao Wu and make her his Soul Spirit.
After becoming his Martial Soul, the Spirit Pagoda had also evolved. Even soul beasts that had transformed into humans could now be contracted.
Su Bai even suspected that once his Soul Power increased, he would be able to contract Soul Masters as Soul Spirits too.
With that thought, Su Bai walked out of the Soto Great Soul Arena with Xiao Wu.
In high spirits, Xiao Wu hummed a tune and skipped along, occasionally asking Su Bai where he had gone and what he had done over the past few years.
They had barely gone any distance outside when a voice suddenly came from a corner.
"Stop right there!"
The words sounded rather like a threat to wait after school. Su Bai immediately stopped and looked back.
Once he saw who had come, he was instantly amused.
It was none other than Yu Xiaogang!
