How About This? Shall We Make a Bet?

"Wahahahaha-"

"Blondie, you really are pathetically weak."

"That's enough testing the waters. Now taste your auntie's Golden Crocodile Claw!"

Tianyao grew more excited the longer she fought, and Dai Mubai and Jiang Huai were both blond!

At that moment, she vented all the bullying she usually suffered on Dai Mubai.

In the span of just a few breaths, Dai Mubai, that peerless hero, had been beaten black and blue, unable to tell heaven from earth.

But Tianyao grew more excited the longer she fought. A full-force swipe suddenly slipped beyond her control and headed straight for Dai Mubai's crotch!

"No!"

"Witch, how dare you!"

"Stop!"

In an instant, Dai Mubai was scared out of his wits.

He had already experienced how sharp those crocodile claws were. If they dug in there, wouldn't he really have nothing left?

At that critical moment, countless strands of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground and wrapped around Dai Mubai's ankles, pulling him out of Tianyao's attack range.

A crack rang out.

The Golden Crocodile Claw smashed straight through the ground behind him, and Dai Mubai, having narrowly escaped disaster, couldn't help swallowing hard.

"Brother, thank you!"

"For this kindness, I, Dai Mubai, will surely repay you someday."

Hearing this, Tang San gave a smile he thought was very gentle.

"No need to be polite, Brother Dai."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a Shrek student too, aren't you?"

Huh?

Wait, what did he mean, "too"?

Could this little blackie be a junior who would be applying for admission this year?

Dai Mubai couldn't help looking at Tang San a little more warmly.

Just then, under the somewhat puzzled gazes of the crowd, Third Brother slowly stepped forward and spoke.

"Miss, since that was just a spar, weren't you a little too ruthless?"

"Dai Mubai here is to be my companion. Since you were in the wrong just now, I hope you can sincerely apologize to him."

Hearing this, Tianyao turned around with a frown and spoke in some displeasure.

"Little blackie, what business is it of yours if I spar with this little tiger?"

"What? Do you want to try how sharp your auntie's Golden Crocodile Claw is too?"

Huh? Little blackie?

What kind of awful name was that?

For a moment, Tang San looked at Jiang Huai and the others with some displeasure!

Sure enough, these evil people from Spirit Hall are just as my teacher said: crude to the extreme and beyond all instruction!

Especially these scaled and horned creatures, born from eggs in damp places. Now that I see them, they truly are evil by nature!

But remembering the plan he had in mind, Third Brother did not immediately lose his temper.

Instead, his usual refined and courteous expression returned to his face, and he smiled as he spoke to Jiang Huai.

"My friend, it seems you're the leader of your group."

"Since this has happened, we need to find a way to settle it."

"How about this? Shall we make a bet?"

"If you lose, you must agree to do one thing for me and apologize to this future companion of mine."

Originally, Jiang Huai had no wish to pay attention to Third Brother's little schemes.

But the moment the God King proposed a bet, he shot upright from his deathbed!

Third Brother's bets were said to have fortune on their side. No matter what, he had to test the waters.

"Oh? Interesting."

"But what if you lose?"

"This..."

For a moment, Tang San didn't know how to respond.

According to the information he had gotten from Gangzi,

Although he recognized that the blond man before him was very likely, probably, the Pope's second disciple,

The other man was about the same age as him, and even with Spirit Hall's evil secret methods, he could be no more than a peak Soul Elder at present.

Meanwhile, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and other Tang Sect Hidden Weapons in his possession were highly lethal to Soul Masters below the rank of Soul King.

From the moment he proposed the bet, he had never considered that he might lose.

"Haven't thought it through?"

"Then how about this?"

A proper smile slowly appeared at the corner of Jiang Huai's mouth.

"I'm not interested in a bet where, after I win, I make you promise to do one thing for me."

"But when you fought that stupid blond just now, I noticed your footwork was quite strange."

"If you lose, hand over the method for cultivating that footwork. How about it?"

The moment he said that, Tang San's gaze turned sharp.

Endless purple light gathered in the depths of his eyes.

This man is actually trying to pry into my Tang Sect's secret methods. He already has a way to death!

[Third principle of the Tang Sect Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's general outline: once an enemy has been confirmed as an opponent, so long as they have a way to death, strike without mercy, or you will only bring needless trouble upon yourself.]

In Third Brother's eyes, Jiang Huai now perfectly fit that principle.

But perhaps it was his desire for the secret method of absorbing Soul Rings beyond one's level, or perhaps it was his absolute confidence in the Hidden Weapons he possessed.

After a burst of anger, Third Brother slowly nodded in agreement.

"Very well, my friend. Please, let's begin."

As he spoke, Tang San's hand had already slipped quietly onto the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

"Pfft-"

"I can't take it. This little blackie is actually trying to challenge the boss."

Yan said with a laugh.

"Pfft-"

"Hahahahaha-"

"I'm dying of laughter. Xiao Jiang Huai, give this little blackie who can't tell heaven from earth a good hard elbowing."

Hu Liena, standing to the side, also spoke with a laugh.

Of everyone present, only Xiao Wu looked worried; the rest were ready to enjoy the show.

Amid the laughter, Third Brother made the first move!

Since there was a bit of a gap between his Soul Power Level and that of the evil Jiang Huai, he would first use Blue Silver Grass to block his opponent's vision, then use his Hidden Weapons to win in a single blow!

With that thought, the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand swayed in the wind, and his First Soul Ring flashed faintly beneath his feet.

"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground beneath Jiang Huai's feet, trying to bind him up like a zongzi.

Immediately afterward, dense purple light gathered madly in Tang San's eyes as he continuously analyzed the fatal openings Jiang Huai revealed.

Found it!

In an instant, Third Brother's figure moved like a ghost, deftly changing position.

Once he reached what he considered the perfect spot to attack from, the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist flashed blue.

A Zhuge Repeating Crossbow appeared in his hand!

So what if he's the Pope's disciple?

Accept the misery of having no Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to protect you!
