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

Xie Xie: ...Ha—that's it! Load the cargo!

In the subsequent battles, Xie Xie overcame all obstacles and entered the finals without any problems.

Tang Wulin also made it to the finals, but compared to Xie Xie, his match was not very interesting, and the solutions were all very simple and brutal.

If one punch isn't enough, Tang Wulin still has two hammers.

The most classic example is: Tang Wulin forcefully smashed open the blue stone prison and walked out carrying a gleaming hammer.

Even Wu Changkong's eyes flashed with a strange light when he saw it.

Seeing that only Tang Wulin and Xie Xie remained, Wu Changkong nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "Fourth round, second match..."

In the blink of an eye, Wu Changkong was already right in front of Xie Xie.

"In the fourth round, the second match, Xie Xie danced with Chang Kong."

The overwhelming chill and oppressive feeling sent a shiver down Xie Xie's spine. He felt as if his soul power was frozen, and its circulation became sluggish.

Wu Changkong's gaze was cold and unwavering. "Accept the challenge, or meet the challenge head-on?"

Is there even a difference?!

Although Xie Xie had mentally prepared himself, he was clearly still not prepared enough, and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Teacher Wu, can I... choose C?"

"can."

Wu Changkong nodded.

Xie Xie's eyes lit up. Choosing C really was an option!

With a flick of his wrist, Wu Changkong produced a wooden sword in his right hand.

"Choose C, let's start fighting."

Wu Changkong took a step forward, and the wooden sword in his hand went straight for Xie Xie.

"Hold the grass!!"

Seeing the wooden sword reach him in the blink of an eye, Xie Xie quickly channeled all his soul power into his feet, his body suddenly retreating to create distance, and the two light dragon daggers were immediately crossed in front of his chest to protect him.

However, dodging is useless when facing a wooden sword that has automatically locked onto an enemy.

In desperation, Xie Xie summoned the Shadow Dragon Dagger.

With a flick of his wrist, the nearly transparent dagger blended seamlessly into its surroundings, silently piercing towards Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow slightly and gently shook the wooden sword in his hand.

"Ding--"

With a crisp clang of clashing metal, the Shadow Dragon Dagger was sent flying, spinning past Wu Changkong's side, but the wooden sword's momentum remained undiminished, still pointing straight at Xie Xie.

This time, Xie Xie stopped dodging and allowed the wooden sword to keep getting closer.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Changkong's eyes.

But in the next second, he suddenly turned around, and the wooden sword in his hand instantly changed from a thrust to a block.

The students watching from the sidelines were astonished to discover that Xie Xie, who was standing motionless, was actually just an afterimage!

The real Xie Xie appeared suddenly behind Wu Changkong amidst a surge of black mist, simultaneously unleashing two Shadow Dragon Daggers that precisely struck Wu Changkong's wooden sword as he made a timely defensive move.

Ding--!

Another crisp metallic clang rang out.

Although Xie Xie's attack forced Wu Changkong to temporarily switch from offense to defense, seemingly giving him the upper hand, only Xie Xie himself knew the true situation best.

The force of the rebound from the powerful Wu Changkong's attack was as terrifying as the force he had poured into it.

The force of the recoil was like a giant, icy wave, slamming hard into Xie Xie's arms.

He felt his arms go numb instantly, his hands feel like they were about to split open, and his blood and qi surged.

The stalemate lasted less than a second before Wu Changkong moved again.

She flicked her wrist slightly, and the wooden sword struck out with the same motion.

Xie Xie was instantly sent flying horizontally, crashing straight into a large tree beside him.

"boom--!"

With a dull thud, Xie Xie landed headfirst on the tree trunk, his limbs sprawled out and pressed against the tree. It took him a while to slid down the tree in a disheveled state, leaving a noticeable mark on the trunk.

Xie Xie slid down from the tree trunk, his face buried in the soil, his big butt sticking out, and shakily pulled out the little white flag.

K.O.!

Wu Changkong did not make another move.

"Ten-minute break, then the final." After saying that, she looked thoughtfully at the two small nicks on the wooden sword in her hand.

Tang Wulin had already successfully taken the photos.

Not only that, Xie Xie's posture of sticking out his big buttocks and holding up a small white flag was also captured on camera.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Xie Xie's disheveled and comical appearance in the camera.

It took Xie Xie a long time to get up from the ground. He quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated to recover his soul power and physical strength.

I'm so busy every day. After defeating one overpowered monster, there's another one overpowered.

Xie Xie felt wronged, but he dared not speak out...

Ten minutes passed quickly.

"In the final match of the class competition, Xie Xie will face off against Tang Wulin."

"Game start!"

Xie Xie flashed out, and with him shot out the Shadow Dragon Dagger, which blended seamlessly with the environment.

After the first two rounds of battles, Xie Xie had gradually figured out his own fighting style, and the initial awkwardness had long since disappeared.

He refused to believe that if he couldn't beat Wu Changkong, he couldn't possibly beat Tang Wulin, who wasn't protected by the Golden Dragon King.

Xie Xie: Peanuts for me!!

Chapter 8 First Battle Victory

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 about 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 kneel, 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 the agility-based style... 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.
