Chapter 130: Su Ming Wants to Add Some Difficulty for Tang San

Chaotianxiang's expression shifted slightly. "So it's the renowned Immovable King, Zhao Wuji. I wondered how such a young Spirit Saint could be roaming the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest."

Zhao Wuji gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself that his reputation was probably more infamous than anything else.

Still cautious of the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady's reputation, Zhao Wuji said, "Snake Lady, how about we follow the rules of the Spirit Master world? Let the two juniors compete fairly, and whoever wins gets the spirit beast."

Oscar wanted to protest but was quickly silenced by Zhao Wuji, who had his own plan.

After a moment of silence, Chaotianxiang nodded in agreement. Both sides had contributed to capturing the snake, and it wasn't realistic to expect Zhao Wuji to give it up.

Zhao Wuji's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Tang San, you compete against the Snake Lady's granddaughter."

Tang San stepped forward, standing in front of Meng Yiran. The young woman looked confused, pointing at Oscar. "You're the one competing with me? I thought it was him?"

Tang San sighed and replied, "He's a food-type spirit master. How could he compete with you? I'm also at the thirtieth level without my third spirit ring, so we're more evenly matched."

Hearing this, both Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran were surprised. A fourteen-year-old food-type spirit master at the thirtieth level? What remarkable talent! And Tang San, who seemed even younger, was also at the thirtieth level. Were all these people this gifted?

Just as Tang San and Meng Yiran were about to start their spirit power duel, Oscar interrupted with a cheeky grin. "Wait a second. I feel like this competition isn't entirely fair for us."

Meng Yiran glared at him angrily. "What's unfair about it?"

Oscar, his eyes gleaming mischievously, replied, "Well, we killed the spirit beast, and if we win, we get the spirit ring. But if we lose, we have to give it to you, and we get nothing. How about this—if Tang San wins, you give him a kiss?"

"Scoundrel!" Meng Yiran's face flushed with anger as she glared at Oscar.

Though a bit tempted by the idea—Meng Yiran was a beautiful, well-developed young woman—Tang San still said, "Oscar, let's not go that far. That's a bit too much."

After saying this, Tang San stole a quick glance at Xiao Wu, but she wasn't paying attention to him.

The competition between Tang San and Meng Yiran began, with Tang San easily winning, as expected. Having accumulated his strength at the thirtieth level for a while, he defeated Meng Yiran more easily than in the original story.

Meng Yiran's combat uniform had been shredded by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass thorns, leaving her with a tattered outfit that had a certain allure. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun couldn't take their eyes off her; after all, Meng Yiran was indeed a beauty, and Ma Hongjun felt his evil fire stirring inside him.

Xiao Wu, standing next to Su Ming, quickly covered his eyes with her hand. "Brother, you can't look. There's nothing good to see."

Her voice carried a hint of jealousy. Part of it was because she hadn't fully developed yet, and her figure wasn't as impressive as Meng Yiran's.

Chaotianxiang sighed softly. "It's over. We lost this match."

Although Meng Yiran had fought with all her might and was unwilling to accept defeat, there was nothing she could do—she had lost.

Meanwhile, Oscar eagerly handed a sausage to Tang San, grinning as he said, "Brother, eat up! If I ever make it big, I won't forget your help."

Su Ming and the three girls ignored Oscar's comment. In the original story, without Tang San's assistance, Oscar would never have reached his full potential.

The Snake Lady remained calm. "I lost this bet, and I won't forget it."

Zhao Wuji didn't care about her veiled threat. The Dragon Duke and Snake Lady were known for keeping their word, and he wasn't afraid of them causing trouble.

He signaled to Oscar to quickly finish off the Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent. Oscar, still remembering the bet, looked mischievously at Meng Yiran. "A bet's a bet. Aren't you going to give Tang San a kiss?"

Meng Yiran flushed with embarrassment and turned to look at Tang San's average face. She was reluctant to give up her first kiss so easily.

Tang San's heart raced a little, but he quickly waved his hands. "No, no. That was just a joke from Oscar. You don't need to take it seriously."

Su Ming, standing nearby, said, "Oscar, stop stirring things up. You're lucky you're getting this Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent thanks to the Snake Lady's integrity. If it were someone else, they might not have been so honorable, especially with the Dragon Duke nearby. He could show up any moment."

Chaotianxiang's anger subsided slightly upon hearing Su Ming's words. At least this young man was sensible, unlike Oscar, who kept trying to push her granddaughter into kissing someone with such an average appearance, even if he had impressive talent.

Oscar chuckled awkwardly, while Zhao Wuji shot him a glare, blaming him for causing unnecessary trouble. If the Snake Lady had changed her mind, they would have been in a world of trouble. Su Ming had a point: they were fortunate the Snake Lady had integrity. Otherwise, she and the Dragon Duke could have left and returned with reinforcements, and their entire group would have been wiped out.

Meng Yiran also glanced at Su Ming, realizing she hadn't noticed how handsome he was earlier. He was much more attractive than Tang San. Feeling relieved, she was glad her first kiss wasn't taken away in such a silly bet, especially since she hadn't agreed to it in the first place.

Oscar, no longer saying anything, quickly stabbed the Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent with the short blade and began absorbing the spirit ring.

Meanwhile, Su Ming recalled that in the original story, Meng Yiran later tried to hunt a Man-Faced Demon Spider, which ultimately benefited Tang San. He decided it might be a good idea to give Tang San a bit of a challenge this time, especially since that spirit beast was beyond Meng Yiran's ability to handle. He wondered why the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady had made such a simple mistake when they were experienced spirit masters.

Su Ming casually asked the Snake Lady, "What spirit beast do you plan to hunt for your granddaughter's third spirit ring, Snake Lady?"
