Chapter 59
Yusei VS Tang 3!
Chapter 59 Youxing VS Tang San! (Part 1)
With so many complex, even conflicting, variables, the more you try to calculate them, the less you can calculate them.
It's like how the more humans scheme and plot, the more likely they are to stumble in unexpected places.
Unable to think of anything to let bygones be bygones, You Chen decided to stop thinking about it.
Other issues can be considered later, but there is one thing that can be done right now.
That was Tang San's mission.
Even considering Tang San's temperament, there's less than a 10% chance this mission will become an irreversible "dead file," but that's still an outcome You Chen wouldn't want to accept.
In just two days, Tang San had reacted in ways that exceeded his expectations several times, which proved that he was not able to fully grasp Tang San's behavior and psychological patterns.
This so-called 10% probability could be 20%, 30%, or even more.
Like Schrödinger's cat, it is a risk that he cannot observe.
Therefore, the course of events is no longer entirely predictable, and the longer it drags on, the more control will be lost.
Once the top priority is decided, everything else becomes easier.
However, although he hadn't intended to control everything, the current situation, which was practically a complete plot twist, was still hard not to annoy him, as he preferred things to go smoothly according to his plans.
He had mentally prepared himself, and so he quickly and completely immersed himself in the role that Yusei had set up for him...
Despite being surrounded by admirers, You Chen's expression suddenly darkened. He completely ignored his roommates' questions and instead forcefully pushed the crowd aside.
He stepped forward, past Xiao Wu, the leader of Dormitory 6, and stood before the sixth-year students, his voice low and hoarse: "Why did you force me...?"
Xiao Chenyu raised an eyebrow, looking quite confused: "What did you say?"
You Chen seemed lost in his own emotions, offering no reply whatsoever. Instead, he raised his voice, glaring fiercely at the older boy who had "exposed" him, and roared, "I just want a quiet environment to cultivate without being disturbed by others! Why are you forcing me?!"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Even Xiao Wu, who was originally in a complicated mood, didn't expect that the usually taciturn Youxing would lose his temper so much.
And it seems like it's just because that older boy revealed your true strength. Does he think that "disrupted his cultivation"? How much do you dislike being in the limelight? How much do you want to focus on your cultivation?!
Xiao Wu is really having a hard time keeping up this act. Doesn't it make her seem completely clueless about becoming the school's big sister?
Xiao Wu is relatively alright.
Many people simply cannot understand You Chen's thought process.
Forced you? Who forced you? Nobody forced you or bothered you, right?
Aren't we just shocked by your hidden strength?
But at least at this moment, everyone present realized that this guy in front of them was definitely a weirdo!
Just as everyone was stunned and speechless by You Chen's "incomprehensible cultivation maniac" persona, You Chen's hunter-like gaze swept fiercely over everyone present except for Liu She.
"Weren't you all vying to be the school's top dog?! If you have that idea, then all of you better come out here today! Otherwise, I'll deal with one group, and then another new one will pop up and disrupt my cultivation plans!"
Unlike the previous ramblings of a madman that only a few could barely understand, these words were much easier to comprehend.
What did he mean by that?
"Idiot, can't you tell? He's completely disregarding us!"
"Is he trying to challenge everyone with that tone? Arrogant, utterly arrogant!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, even Xiao Wu looked at him with an expression as if she didn't recognize him.
Xiao Wu felt that Youxing had surprised her far too much today! So this was the kind of person her junior brother was all along?! So the "iceberg" persona was just too lazy to bother with them?!
"And you!"
You Chen then turned to his main target, glaring at him and saying, "I heard from Xiao Wu that you challenged me to a duel for some nonsensical reason, right? Today, I'll take care of you too! I don't have much time to deal with the weak!"
The scene was attended not only by 90% of the students from Dormitory 6 and more than 20 students from Dormitory 1, but also by numerous onlookers from other dormitories, bringing the total number of onlookers to over 100.
Given the current plot development, if we miss this opportunity, it's hard to say whether there will be any other chances in Nottingham City to meet the standard of a hundred spectators.
Tang San's expression darkened slightly when You Chen approached him. He replied, "You... what a nonsensical reason? I'm here to prove my teacher is right, not for some trivial reason! Besides, I want a fair fight, not a tag-team battle with so many people against you! Only by defeating you one-on-one can I prove... I'm superior to you! You Xing!"
"Nonsense, so fussy!"
You Chen gave a disgusted look: "You started this trouble, do you expect me to cooperate with your schedule?!"
Before the words were even finished, and before anyone else could prepare themselves for a possible tag-team battle, they pounced straight at Tang San!
"Wow, that's fast!"
Tang San narrowed his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
This speed has far exceeded the speed that Xiao Wu displayed that day!
However, he had just heard the senior student mention Yusei's extraordinary abilities, and because in his eyes, Yusei's teacher had once surpassed his own, he did not regard Yusei as an easy opponent and was already mentally prepared.
He immediately began using the Ghostly Shadow Steps and retreated at lightning speed!
At the same time, a faint light emanated from his palm, and as the dark blue Blue Silver Grass grew, a yellow soul ring also swirled and pulsed around him!
"It's a hundred-year-old spirit ring!"
Different times and spaces, the same exclamation.
When Xiao Chenyu saw Tang San's revealed century-old soul ring, he immediately gasped.
Unlike his subordinates who still looked down on Tang San because of the Blue Silver Grass in his hands, Tang San's revealed age and the background of having someone help him hunt down hundred-year-old soul beasts made Xiao Chenyu realize that he was not to be underestimated.
Then, he naturally glanced at You Chen.
So, what kind of power does this guy, who hasn't even revealed his martial spirit yet but is already recognized as having considerable strength, possess?
Just then, as You Chen rushed toward Tang San and closed the distance, the Blue Silver Grass that had been quietly extending toward the ground suddenly sprang up and quickly wrapped around You Chen's feet.
"Blue Silver Grass, Entangle."
Tang San murmured softly.
Just like in the original story when dealing with Xiao Chenyu, this was not a soul skill, but merely manipulating the Blue Silver Grass to entangle You Chen.
This was a test.
Click.
In the original story, the Blue Silver Grass that rendered Xiao Chenyu, who possessed the Wolf Martial Soul, unable to move, did not pose any effective obstacle to You Chen at all, and was torn apart like ordinary weeds.
Tang San frowned immediately.
Others may not know the current resilience of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, but Tang San himself knows it all too well.
"Isn't a single ring's amplification and enhancement enough? Perhaps only using a Soul Ring Skill can effectively control him. Fine, let's see how my Profound Heaven Technique fares after my breakthrough!"
Tang San's eyes flashed. Facing You Chen, a beast spirit master who seemed to be a "power attack type" who took the initiative to meet him, Tang San actually took the initiative to meet him after his spirit control failed to work!
Bang!
