Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Tang Wulin immediately released his Blue Silver Grass, and dense vines intertwined in front of him, resembling an impenetrable net.

Having witnessed Xie Xie's bizarre movements during his battle with Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin deliberately laid down another layer of Blue Silver Grass behind him to guard against Xie Xie's sudden teleportation attack.

It wasn't that he didn't want to directly block the Shadow Dragon Dagger, but rather that the Shadow Dragon Dagger was too unpredictable to be detected with the naked eye.

Moreover, he did not possess the same formidable mental perception as Wu Changkong.

Faced with the closing in of the Blue Silver Grass from all sides, Xie Xie's figure suddenly became illusory, his body constantly weaving nimbly through the gaps.

Tang Wulin frowned and activated his soul power.

The Blue Silver Grass contracted again, attempting to block all of Xie Xie's attack routes.

Xie Xie brandished the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand, unleashing one dazzling blade of light after another.

The blade's edge struck the Blue Silver Grass, and although it instantly dissipated into a halo of light, it successfully deflected the Blue Silver Grass.

Tang Wulin was startled because he felt his soul power drop by a third in an instant!

In that instant of distraction, Xie Xie suddenly vanished from before his eyes.

The next moment, a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck from behind.

Xie Xie braced himself with his left hand on the ground, the Shadow Dragon Dagger already in his hand, his left leg bent to gather strength, and even his blood-red right eye trailed out a sharp red light.

Even though he was prepared, Xie Xie's speed and reaction were still one step ahead of him.

Just as Xie Xie was preparing to end the match with one strike, a familiar feeling of palpitation suddenly surged into his heart.

Almost instinctively, Xie Xie abruptly changed his forward momentum into a sliding kneeling motion, his body suddenly leaning backward.

A deafening sound rang out.

A hammer, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, slashed fiercely across the tip of his nose.

Taking advantage of that brief moment of sway, Xie Xie quickly got up and abruptly created distance.

He stared at Tang Wulin, who stood not far away with his eyes closed and holding two hammers, his right fist pressed against his lips, and white smoke was almost rising from his head.

Xie Xie's CPU burned out.

No, no, no, how did this thing suddenly enter a state of ethereal tranquility?

Xie Xie had prepared two plans in order to end the match before forcing Tang Wulin into his ethereal state. After all, the original novel clearly described how difficult it was to fight Tang Wulin in his ethereal state!

Could it be that this guy will break through under pressure?

Then what the hell am I supposed to do?! Damn it!

Xie Xie gritted his teeth as he thought this, while tentatively unleashing two more blade beams.

Unfortunately, they were all blocked by Tang Wulin's Thousand Refined Silver Hammer.

Before Xie Xie could think further, Tang Wulin launched an attack, unleashing his twin hammers and raining them down on him like a storm.

Dust billowed everywhere as Xie Xie suffered a crushing defeat.

This really ignited Xie Xie's anger.

He took a deep breath, his soul power surged and boiled, and the soul power under his feet exploded, his speed increasing several times in an instant, turning into a golden afterimage that was almost impossible to catch.

The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand trembled violently and hummed incessantly.

A deep dragon roar suddenly rang in the ears of everyone present.

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Light Dragon Dagger extended autonomously once more, transforming into two Light Dragon Short Swords, each about sixty centimeters long.

On the blade, dragon-shaped light patterns subtly flowed.

Each streak of light exuded a sharp edge, and the air was cut by the blade energy, producing a piercing shriek.

Xie Xie's aura exploded completely at this moment, and he was like a dragon of light ready to pounce.

"Unlike an agility-based build... it leans more towards aggressive attacks?"

A strange light flickered in Wu Changkong's eyes as he murmured softly.

Xie Xie slashed with his two Light Dragon Blades, and two golden arcs of light tore through the air, accompanied by a roar like a dragon's cry, directly cleaving the gap between Tang Wulin's two hammers.

"clang--!"

The deafening clang of metal striking metal made the eardrums of the surrounding students ache.

Tang Wulin felt an immense force, far greater than before, coming through his twin hammers. His arms sank slightly, and his feet were shaken so badly that he slid back half an inch.

I'll let you block me, I'll let you block me!

I'll chop you to pieces!

I don't know how Tang Wulin is feeling, but Xie Xie's offensive is very fierce.

Xie Xie transformed into a golden lightning bolt, moving around Tang Wulin.

Each swing of the Light Dragon Blade was accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

The blades rained down like a storm, forcing Tang Wulin to use his hammers to protect his chest and parry continuously.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Tang Wulin, in his ethereal state, could only protect his chest with his two hammers and block with all his might, and for a moment he was overwhelmed.

Just as the incomparably sharp blade of light was about to strike Tang Wulin—

A cool and light hand suddenly gently covered Xie Xie's wrist holding the knife, and pulled it slightly to the side.

"laugh--!"

The out-of-control blade struck the ground heavily, sending rubble and debris flying everywhere, instantly carving a deep, jagged gash into the ground.

"stop!"

Wu Changkong appeared in the center of them at some unknown time and called a halt to the competition.

"No need to compete anymore, Xie Xie wins."

"...Huh?" Xie Xie froze on the spot, unable to react for a long time.

The next second, he jumped up on the spot with joy.

"Hahahaha! I won! I beat Tang Wulin!"

"Wuhu!"

"Yahoohohohaha—!"

Seeing Xie Xie so excited, like a primal creature, waving his arms and legs and making monkey noises, Wu Changkong and all the students in Class 5 slowly typed out a series of question marks.

After all, in their eyes, what's so great about Xie Xie, an eighteenth-level Great Soul Master, defeating a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?

Only Yun Xiao and Zhou Changxi were filled with tears:

It's okay, Xie Xie, we understand your difficulties!

Wu Changkong said to Xie Xie in a low voice, "You are responsible for compensating Tang Wulin with a school uniform."

One sentence caused Xie, who was still excited, to stumble on the spot.

Oh, heavens, how cruel you are to me!

Xie Xie clutched his wallet, looking distressed.

Wu Changkong put his hands in his pockets, looked around the class, and said in an icy tone, "You should have learned something from today's match."

"In actual combat, you can't rely solely on your martial spirit; a strong physique is the foundation of becoming a mechanic. A true powerhouse can defeat you without even using their soul power."

"Your physical fitness is far too weak!"

"You self-satisfied fools, take a good look at this. Tang Wulin's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but he fought to the very end."

Xie Xie pouted, unconvinced.

His fighting skills are also excellent, so why only praise Tang Wulin?

"I've also come to a conclusion from this battle..."

"You guys are truly a bunch of useless trash!"

Now, the word "useless" was written all over the faces of all the students in Class 5.

"Of course, only Xie Xie barely passes the test."

Hey?

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Xie Xie, who had just lowered his head, suddenly raised it, his tail practically wagging in the air.

"Of course, you two are just the tallest among the short."

Xie Xie automatically ignored the last sentence.

He didn't care, anyway, the dance teacher praised him, hehehe!

Wu Changkong glanced at Xie Xie indifferently, only to see him grinning foolishly with his tail wagging wildly behind him.

She silently withdrew her gaze, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Alright, dismissed."

"Starting tomorrow, we will have physical training in the morning and theory classes in the afternoon."

"Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, come to my office for a moment. I have something to say to you." After saying that, Wu Changkong strode away with his long legs.

Xie Xie quickly followed, "Coming, coming!"
