Chapter 169: Eight Stage Drop! Yu Xiaogang Panics!

Xiao Wu, using her teleportation skill, remained airborne and kicked rapidly in all directions, this time increasing her soul power output. The air blades she generated became even more distinct. The Blue Silver Grass surrounding her was sliced apart effortlessly, like vegetables being cut.

Everyone watching, including Su Ming, was stunned by this display.

What the heck?!

Su Ming's mind raced. Since when did Xiao Wu become this powerful? Air blades at just level 40? That's not only a testament to her soul power control but also her raw leg strength. How did her strength improve so much?

This is insane!

He could only guess that it might be due to her soul rings being absorbed at higher levels and the effects of the Soul Power Body Tempering Technique enhancing her physique and power.

Tang San, however, was far from calm. His eyes widened, unable to maintain his usual composure. Did she really just break through my full-power control so easily?

If Xiao Wu had simply used teleportation to escape, Tang San could have accepted it. But this? Air blades? Could a Spirit Ancestor even use such techniques?

For an attack like that, the leg strength would have to be immense. Tang San speculated that even Flender would need to use a soul skill to produce a similar effect!

Could Xiao Wu have developed a self-created soul skill?

While Tang San was left reeling, Xiao Wu's expression remained calm, as if this was how things were meant to be. After all, if she couldn't do this, wouldn't the system's rewards be worthless?

System: "..."

Xiao Wu didn't give Tang San any time to recover. Since her test was complete, it was time to finish the battle!

Before Tang San could react, Xiao Wu teleported behind him. Tang San, sensing the danger, attempted to rely on his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade. In his mind, this footwork was unbeatable for dodging attacks.

But Xiao Wu wasn't about to let him get away. With her training in Wind God Legs, her speed had greatly improved. While she usually relied on teleportation, Xiao Wu's raw speed was now incredible, and her enhanced spiritual power allowed her to anticipate Tang San's movements even without his special eyes.

As Tang San dodged, Xiao Wu kicked toward his escape route, causing him to panic. How did she predict my movement? Was it just luck?

Tang San, thinking quickly, forced himself to halt mid-movement and veered in another direction.

Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly. Not bad, but it won't help you now. Her feet, trained in the Wind God Legs technique, were exceptionally nimble. Adjusting her stance, she kicked out at Tang San once more.

Bang!

Tang San couldn't avoid the strike, and his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which usually allowed him to dodge everything, had failed him this time.

In the past, when sparring with Su Ming, Tang San's technique had never been countered like this!

Su Ming from the sidelines: Want to try again now?

Previously, Su Ming, relying only on basic footwork and regular entanglements, had no chance against Tang San. But now? Heh, let's see you try again!

The onlookers were equally shocked. No one had expected Xiao Wu to be this strong!

They had assumed that only by repeatedly using teleportation could Xiao Wu hope to land a hit on Tang San. But for her to see through his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track? Even Zao Wuji hadn't managed that during his tests with Tang San!

Of course, Zao Wuji's attacks were much slower, and despite having a targeting soul skill, he couldn't land a hit.

After being kicked into the air by Xiao Wu, Tang San knew it was over. He couldn't fly, and while he could barely control his movements mid-air, Xiao Wu's teleportation meant she wouldn't give him a chance to recover.

Seeing that she had successfully landed a hit, Xiao Wu couldn't help but smirk. So what if you absorbed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's third spirit ring? So what if you reached level 34 or gained those Eight Spider Lances?

Having the Eight Spider Lances was impressive, but Xiao Wu knew that Su Ming must have had a reason for not stopping Tang San from obtaining them. After all, Su Ming clearly didn't like Tang San, so perhaps one day he'd remove those spider legs altogether!

Grinning mischievously, Xiao Wu thought, Let's see if they can stop me in time. I doubt Tang San's ever experienced my full Eight Stage Drop!

"Eight Stage Drop!" Xiao Wu shouted.

To prevent the teachers from interrupting her attack, Xiao Wu kicked Tang San higher into the air with each strike.

With every kick, Tang San felt immense pain, as if his bones were about to shatter. Were it not for his incredible willpower, he might have already passed out from the agony!

Seeing Xiao Wu's relentless attacks, Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked. He had heard about Xiao Wu's Eight Stage Drop from Tang San before. If Tang San endured the full force of it, he'd lose at least half his life—and that's if Xiao Wu was going easy!

In a fluster, Yu Xiaogang turned to Flender. "Flender, quickly, stop Xiao Wu's attack! If we don't, Tang San might..."

Before he could finish, Yu Xiaogang shouted toward the battlefield, "Xiao Wu! Stop right now!"

Flender also prepared to use his Owl Martial Soul to save Tang San.

At that moment, Su Ming stepped forward. Since Xiao Wu was following his unspoken directive to half-kill Tang San, he couldn't let Flender interfere. This was a necessary lesson—Tang San needed to learn that absorbing the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring didn't give him the right to act cocky in front of him!

Look at how low-key I've been, Su Ming thought. Why should Tang San be allowed to show off?

Tang San had to fully endure Xiao Wu's Eight Stage Drop to learn his place. Su Ming knew how painful it was, even for someone like him with his body enhanced by the Soul Power Body Tempering Technique. Xiao Wu was being somewhat merciful, as she could control her strikes using teleportation. She could choose where to land each blow, and she knew the most vulnerable spot for any man was...

Not even the Soul Power Body Tempering Technique could protect against that!

Su Ming recalled how Xiao Wu had annihilated Bu Le with this move. Bu Le had been utterly humiliated, and Tang San was about to experience the same fate.
