"Heavy?"
Xue Tianyu laughed.
"You've all killed people before, yet you have the nerve to accuse me of hitting too hard?"
"She's just a cute girl! Are you even a man?" Tang San snapped, holding Xiao Wu as he condemned Xue Tianyu.
Ridiculous.
"What a joke."
Xue Tianyu shook his head, looking at Tang San with icy eyes. "If I were weak and her sneak attack had succeeded, what would have happened to me?"
"If I were the one seriously injured, would you also accuse her of hitting too hard?"
Tang San's breathing hitched.
He knew that was impossible.
In fact, if Xiao Wu had been able to seriously injure Xue Tianyu, he would have been overjoyed.
After all, Xiao Wu's Eight-Section Fall was extremely powerful.
As long as she could get close...
Xue Tianyu knew exactly what Tang San was thinking and spat. "Hypocrite. Get lost!"
In truth, he did not care if Xiao Wu got close.
Eight-Section Fall?
Heh.
He simply did not want a rabbit messing up his clothes.
As for Tang San, he did not take him seriously at all. If Tang San wanted to defeat him, all he could do now was kneel.
Seeing Xue Tianyu look down on him like that, Tang San forcibly suppressed the rage surging within him. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.
"Hmph, you'll pay for that attitude!"
Tang San picked up Xiao Wu and turned to leave.
Treating Xiao Wu was more important now.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were nearly worried sick beneath the stage.
Oscar had long since prepared a large number of sausages.
He took them out as soon as Tang San and the others came down.
These sausages could help Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's injuries, but Xiao Wu was too badly hurt. They had to return to the hotel as quickly as possible.
Before long, Shrek Academy returned to their lodgings.
Liu Erlong had still been waiting for them to bring back good news, only to see Tang San rushing in with Xiao Wu on his back. Her face was pale from her severe injuries, and she looked extremely weak.
"What happened?!"
Liu Erlong and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang almost simultaneously rushed to Tang San's side to examine Xiao Wu's injuries.
"Tell me, who did this!"
Seeing Xiao Wu so pale, Liu Erlong flew into a rage.
"I'm going to cripple him!"
She had always been fiercely protective of her own. Now that she saw one of her people injured like this, she could not endure it.
Yu Xiaogang barely managed to stop her.
"Erlong, don't be impulsive."
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang sighed. "They were simply inferior in skill. There's nothing we can do."
"If we step in, we'll only disgrace ourselves."
Tang San knew the Grandmaster's words made sense, but he simply could not swallow this insult.
How dare he hurt Xiao Wu? That was absolutely unacceptable.
He would have his revenge.
Brutal revenge!
Xiao Wu could hurt others however she pleased, but if someone wanted to hurt Xiao Wu?
No!
Only they were allowed to bully others.
And others were not allowed to resist, or else it would be their fault!
They only needed to obediently let Xiao Wu bully them a little, and the matter would have passed. Yet they had actually dared to resist. How outrageously defiant!
Tang San calculated inwardly that during this competition, he had to find a chance to make that Xue Tianyu pay the price!
At the very least, he had to make him kneel before them and apologize!
"Cough, cough..."
At that moment, Xiao Wu coughed twice, pulling Tang San back from his thoughts.
"Xiao Wu, how are you?"
"I'm fine..." Xiao Wu was in much better condition than she had been on the stage.
"Xiao Wu, focus on recovering. I'll definitely avenge you." Tang San gently stroked Xiao Wu's cheek.
But soon, he looked up at the others from Shrek Academy.
"For now, let's gather information on Xue Tianyu. Don't provoke him on our own initiative."
"That's right. We know far too little about this Xue Tianyu right now," Ning Rongrong said.
"But no matter what, provoking us was the biggest mistake he ever made!" Dai Mubai was also deeply displeased. He and Zhu Zhuqing had yet to display many of their abilities.
Ma Hongjun also looked unwilling to accept this. "We still know too little."
Oscar patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Next time, big brother will let you eat all the sausages you want! We'll kill him together!"
Other than the Shrek Seven Devils, the remaining academy substitutes also looked unconvinced.
After all, they had not even had the chance to display their strength before being frozen by all sorts of strange abilities used by the other side.
They also wanted to teach Skywater Academy a proper lesson.
Seeing that everyone resented their loss to Skywater Academy, Zhu Zhuqing reminded them, "I think we should learn more about them first. That way, next time we won't be caught off guard and restrained because we don't understand our opponent."
"That's right." Dai Mubai immediately agreed.
"Don't worry." Ning Rongrong spoke confidently. "Next time, with a top-tier support martial soul like my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, no matter what strange moves they use, they'll be nothing but trash in front of me."
After that, they continued discussing matters for a long while.
Finally, Tang San summed up, "I feel that this person isn't simple. We need to plan carefully before we act. Understood?"
Everyone nodded.
"Understood!"
However, no one noticed Xiao Wu lowering her eyes, her gaze flickering.
Thinking back to what had happened on the arena, she felt that Xue Tianyu had taken advantage of the terrain, then ambushed her!
Xue Tianyu clearly lacked close-combat ability, which was why he needed to attack from afar!
If she were given a chance to get close, Xiao Wu believed that as long as she used Eight-Section Fall, she could definitely beat him until he wet himself on the spot and became unable to care for himself!
She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
And she had actually been bullied by a twenty-year-old brat?
No matter what, she could not swallow this anger.
As for what Tang San had said, Xiao Wu had long since thrown it to the back of her mind.
Her injuries looked quite serious, but for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she would recover before long.
When that time came... she would take revenge herself!
She would slam that human named Xue Tianyu to death!
As the competition continued, Skywater Academy won match after match in crushing fashion.
That night, Xue Tianyu sat in his room.
Snow Empress walked in.
"Oh my, our Tianyu is getting closer and closer to winning the championship."
A gentle smile appeared on Xue Tianyu's face. "Snow Aunt."
He went up and embraced Snow Empress.
The fresh fragrance on Snow Empress made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
No matter how irritated he felt inside, the instant he smelled Snow Empress's scent, all his troubles would vanish.
"Good child, you grew up in the blink of an eye, yet you still love hugs this much?" Snow Empress wrapped an arm around Xue Tianyu in return and stroked his head.
"I could never get enough of Snow Aunt's embrace." Xue Tianyu replied with a soft laugh.
"Then do you like me?" Snow Empress teased.
"I do." Xue Tianyu nodded. "It's a very special kind of liking."
