Chapter 22
A Bet on Gold Soul Coins, Ning Shu is Definitely Going to Win
Chapter 22: Ning Shu is sure to win if she bets ten gold soul coins.
"Third Brother!"
Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.
The loud slap was drowned out by the sound of the bell. Even though they didn't hear the sound, it looked painful just to see Tang San being slapped by Ning Shu!
"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu wanted to go forward to help, but was pulled back by Zhu Zhuqing.
"Xiao Wu, don't go! This is just a friendly spar; the dean and the others haven't said it's over yet!"
A friendly exchange?
Xiao Wu angrily retorted, "This isn't a friendly spar! Ning Shu is going all out!"
"Didn't Tang San use his full strength?" Dai Mubai suddenly asked.
Tang San's actions just now clearly indicated that he intended to attack Ning Shu from behind. Based on his current understanding of Tang San, Tang San's plan was no less serious than the slap Ning Shu had just delivered.
Moreover, Tang San also underestimated Ning Shu.
Ning Shu used to cultivate the path of a power-attack type Soul Master, so she was naturally not very familiar with control skills. In addition, Ning Shu's martial soul had not been evolved for long, so she might not have a clear understanding of her own soul skills. Therefore, Tang San clearly underestimated her.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to choose to attack her from behind in an instant. Ning Shu was clearly not under control just now. Her reaction speed was even faster than Tang San's attack speed. Could the evolution of a martial soul really cause a dramatic change in a person's strength?
"."
Dai Mubai's words completely shut Xiao Wu up. She wasn't blind; she had lived with Tang San for so many years. If she couldn't even see this, then all that time together would have been for nothing.
Tang San possessed hidden weapons and knew some unique martial arts techniques, so Xiao Wu never thought Tang San would lose.
But what she had just witnessed truly surprised her, giving her a rude awakening. She hadn't expected Ning Shu to react so quickly, so quickly that she hadn't even seen how the person had broken free from the restraints and paralysis.
Who exactly is Ning Shu?
After the move, Flander and Zhao Wuji did not call for a stop. Although they were surprised by Ning Shu's action, they did not say anything or step forward to stop her.
This is Tang San's own doing, so he can't blame the two of them.
Flander stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
Ning Shu is clearly far superior to Tang San in terms of strength, but she also knows that Tang San has many tricks up his sleeve, so it seems that the outcome of this competition is really hard to predict.
"Old Zhao, want to take a gamble?" He suddenly turned to Zhao Wuji beside him and asked.
Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance with him, somewhat speechless, and said, "Dean, this is a friendly sparring match between students, not a battle of spirits."
All he talks about is money; he's a real shrewd businessman, obsessed with money.
"Not gambling?" Flander pressed, completely ignoring Zhao Wuji's gaze and words.
Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment, "How much to bet?"
"Ten gold soul coins!" Flander said.
"I don't have ten gold soul coins, I can't afford to gamble." Zhao Wuji waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to give up.
Flanders sighed and suggested, "You can buy on credit first, and you're not necessarily going to lose, are you?"
"."
Zhao Wuji felt that Flander was trying to trick him again, but he had no evidence.
Flanders chuckled and asked, "Old Zhao, who do you think is the best?"
Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment, then said, "Tang San."
He had experienced Tang San's abilities firsthand. Although Tang San had been slightly outmatched earlier, the competition wasn't over yet, and no one knew who the winner would be.
"Alright, then I'll bet on Ning Shu!"
Flanders said with a smile.
Hey! Ten Gold Soul Coins in hand!
While Flander and Zhao Wuji made their bet, Ning Shu and Tang San began their second round of competition.
Tang San had just been slapped by Ning Shu, and his face was still sore. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used the Blue Silver Grass to block some of the force. Otherwise, that slap would have sent him flying, and his face wouldn't just be a little red.
Tang San flipped over and landed on the ground. He frowned as he looked at Ning Shu, wondering if the paralysis effect of the Blue Silver Grass had no effect on Ning Shu.
Why was she able to break free so quickly?
This unscientific.
Ning Shu exchanged a smug look with Tang San, then smiled and beckoned to him with her finger, clearly a provocation.
Tang San frowned, unable to understand why Ning Shu harbored such malice towards him. Could it be because he had used his Purple Demon Eye to look at her?
Isn't that an exaggeration?
"The second bell of the Nine Illusory Bells, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Sound Bell."
After Ning Shu touched the bell in her hand, a second bell split off. This second bell was seven-colored. As soon as the bell rang, three thousand sound spirits emerged from the main body. They floated around the seven-colored bell, and a powerful force emanated from it. Ning Shu shook the bell, and one sound spirit after another attacked Tang San. Tang San immediately used Blue Silver Grass to form a defensive shield in front of him. Taking advantage of Ning Shu's inattention, he quietly scattered Blue Silver Grass seeds on the ground. However, Ning Shu's attacks seemed endless. The speed of the sound spirits was getting faster and faster. Tang San's soul power was limited, and he soon felt fatigued.
At this moment, Ning Shu placed the Heaven and Earth Profound Sound Bell in the air and snapped her fingers. The surrounding air began to vibrate with the sound spirit, and sharp gusts of wind suddenly entered everyone's ears.
Tang San's mental strength was suddenly injured. He looked up in surprise and met Ning Shu's smiling eyes.
How is such mental power possible?!
Tang San was somewhat dazed, but he still tried his best to stay clear-headed.
He had to find a way to break that bell, otherwise he would definitely not be able to defeat Ning Shu!
Using soul skills consumes soul power. Ning Shu used her first soul skill so extensively that her soul power consumption must be similar to his. Perhaps the key to breaking the deadlock lies in the last weakness of her second soul skill!
However, the Nine-Bell Phantom is not an ordinary weapon spirit, and none of Tang San's guesses could be reflected in this type of spirit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Shu attacked Tang San without hesitation!
Tang San moved quickly, dodging her fist in the blink of an eye.
With his Ghostly Shadow Stalking and Mysterious Heaven Skill at his disposal, Tang San was not so easy to deal with. However, Ning Shu did not stop; instead, she charged towards him even faster. Tang San did not back down either, retreating while counterattacking. But what he didn't expect was—
The Heaven and Earth Mystic Sound Bell's attack did not stop!
While dodging Ning Shu's attacks and defending against the sound spirit, Tang San looked at Ning Shu in surprise during their exchange and couldn't help but ask, "Your soul skill is a summon?!"
