Chapter 24: Tang San Defeated

The Golden Dragon's claws were sharp and glowed with a cold aura, cutting through all the silver-blue grass around him.

The silver-blue grass, which might have been tough enough to subdue ordinary Spirit Masters, was no match for the Golden Dragon's sharp claws.

As the possessor of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, Lu Yuan's close combat ability was incredibly powerful, so even with Tang San's pride, he had to retreat and fight from a distance.

"Lu Yuan, be careful!" Tang San's eyes glowed with a purple aura as he cupped some small rocks in his hand and used his hidden weapon technique to throw them at Lu Yuan.

Looking at the approaching rocks, Lu Yuan's body was like lightning, dodging all the passing rocks.

'Such a powerful body technique!' Even Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes couldn't completely grasp his figure, and all the hidden weapons he threw fell short.

Lu Yuan's body moved extremely fast and headed straight towards Tang San.

Tang San turned into a ghostly shadow, and jumped, dodging Lu Yuan's low kick. Lu Yuan's body stopped and his right palm opened wide, slapping towards Tang San.

Tang San was startled and when he landed, he narrowly dodged using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

'Interesting, a movement skill contest?' The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth curved into a smile as his speed increased once again.

Looking at the incoming Lu Yuan, Tang San could only execute his Mysterious Heaven Technique to its full potential, using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and dodging with all his might.

In the open field, the two figures chased each other, leaving a trail of afterimages, causing Xiao Wu, who was watching from the side, to be a bit surprised.

'Hehe, it was a good choice to follow Xiao San.' Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement, she didn't think Tang San could last so long in front of Lu Yuan, but fortunately, she had come to see a good show.

It was the first time in the Douluo Continent that two different types of movement techniques were facing each other, and both parties were only six-year-olds, being the only audience no one else but her.

Although Xiao Wu could also increase her agility to a similar level for a short period of time thanks to Lu Yuan's help in improving her Soft Skills, this was still different from a movement technique as such.

'This Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track skill is quite good.' Looking at Tang San's ability to dodge his attacks one after another, Lu Yuan became interested.

This Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track of the Tang Sect didn't get its name in vain.

'Then let's see if it's more powerful your Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track or my Phoenix Dance Six Illusions!'

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track is not as fast as the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, and its advantage lies in short distances.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan increased his speed again.

'How fast!' Seeing Lu Yuan's fist pass by his nose, Tang San's heart was startled, he had already used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to the extreme, however, he still felt enormous pressure from Lu Yuan, a pressure that almost suffocated him.

In terms of Martial Soul, Tang San had no advantage, the Golden Dragon had already ripped the Blue Silver Grass a long time ago, and in terms of concealed weapons, he didn't even stand a chance with Lu Yuan's speed, so he could only passively resist.

As the saying goes, if someone fought back for too long, defeat was imminent, so the attack was the best defense!

Both the Ghost Shadow Perplexing and the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions cost soul power, and Lu Yuan's rank was higher than Tang San's, moreover, the technique he cultivated, Pure Qi Sutra, was more mysterious than the Mysterious Heaven Technique, so when all these things were added together, the gap became clear.

Bang!

A fist smashed through Tang San's defense, and after being caught off guard, Tang San's entire body flew through the air more than ten meters and he fell half-kneeling on the ground, coughing a few times.

"Xiao San, are you okay?" Xiao Wu asked from where she was watching the fight.

"Cough, I'm fine," Tang San reassured her, waving his hand to indicate that he was okay.

"I... lost." He said a moment later, a bit disappointed.

"May I ask, what is the name of the technique you used just now?" After getting back on his feet, Tang San looked at Lu Yuan and asked.

"It's called Phoenix Dance Six Illusions," Lu Yuan replied, not hiding it.

"Phoenix Dance Six Illusions?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Tang San searched his brain, he had never heard of such a body technique in his previous world, but the depth of this technique was not inferior to his Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, or even superior.

"It is a very powerful body technique." Tang San admitted.

"Your technique isn't bad either." Lu Yuan said nonchalantly as he turned to the mischievous bunny on the side.

"Have you heard of the Tang Sect?" asked Tang San suddenly with a glint in his eye.

Lu Yuan did not pause, and only turned to look at him in confusion, "I have never heard of it before, what is this Tang Sect?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's tone and sensing that he didn't seem like he was faking it, Tang San was also a bit puzzled, could it be that Lu Yuan really wasn't a reincarnator like him?

"The Tang Sect is a Clan, I've heard it's quite powerful, but I'm not too sure about the details." Tang San replied as he turned around absorbed in his thoughts, heading to Room 7.

Lu Yuan saw Tang San's back for a moment with a deep gaze, so that's what this was all about, surprisingly, Tang San had already suspected his identity. And tonight's "Exchange of Pointers" was just a test of Tang San.

It was possible that it was because of Xiao Wu, this foolish girl, who secretly followed him, that Tan San had his reservations and did not use some more direct method.

For Tang San, Lu Yuan already had defenses in his heart, ever since he decided to join the Spirit Hall. He had to maintain a certain level of vigilance towards his classmates and teachers, except for his foster father. Even from Xiao Wu, he had to keep some things hidden.

This was because Tang San had a blood feud with the Spirit Hall, and now that Lu Yuan would be joining it, it was necessary for him to be cautious. Although he didn't see people in this world as mere characters in a book, he wasn't sure if concepts like fate really existed.

Since he would be joining the Spirit Hall in a few days, then he himself would be on the opposite side of Tang San, so it was necessary for him to keep some of his cards, and naturally, during this fight, he didn't even get to use 50% of his.

Lu Yuan liked to keep his own cards hidden, instead of foolishly placing his trust in others.

As he walked towards where Xiao Wu was standing, Lu Yuan heard her muttering angrily, "Hmph! What a jerk! He didn't even wait for me to go back to Room 7 together."

Lu Yuan smiled and patted her head, "Maybe he was waiting for you to follow him, just like you did to come here in the first place."

Xiao Wu was surprised to hear Lu Yuan's voice but quickly made pitiful eyes, pretending to be fearful as she said, "Ah! Stop bringing that up! Now, you have to escort me back to Room 7, what if that Xiao Chenyu and his group corner me on the way and start thinking of doing something nasty to me?"

"Apart from the fact that they would most likely pass out at the sight of you wandering around at night, what worries me more is where you get such dirty thoughts from, Naughty Bunny." Lu Yuan replied speechlessly.

"Hmph! That's because I'm stronger than them, otherwise, even if it isn't now, Xiao Chenyu and his group would get more and more out of control in the future!".

Lu Yuan pondered over her words and realized she had a point, so he said no more and accompanied her to Room 7.

Taking Lu Yuan's hand, Xiao Wu turned her gaze to the dark corridor ahead of her, and asked, "Lu Yuan, how did you sense me before? Even Tang San didn't notice."

"Oh, that? It's just that my senses are more attuned than others, and if it's you, I'd be able to recognize you anywhere."

"R-Really?" Xiao Wu was surprised by this answer and replied with a stutter as her cheeks turned red.

"Of course, it's true. Who else but you would wear a long scorpion braid?" Lu Yuan said with a chuckle.

"You...!" Xiao Wu realized that she had been tricked and felt embarrassed. She playfully punched Lu Yuan's arm, "You're always making fun of me, aren't you?"

Lu Yuan chuckled, "Of course not, I just have a good memory for important things, like your unique hairstyle."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed by his playful attitude. So she decided to ignore him.

Although she pretended to be angry, she couldn't help but continue to hold his hand tightly as they walked to Room 7.

One had to know that what Lu Yuan said was not entirely false, his senses had been enhanced due to his Golden Dragon Martial Soul, in fact, during the first exchange of pointers he had with Xiao Wu, for a slight moment, he managed to pick up the sound of a person on top of one of the Academy's buildings, and he was pretty sure that person had been Tang San.
