Flash Of Understanding (2)

The arrival was Xiao Wu. She placed the lunch box she carried on the table and looked somewhat worriedly at Tang San, but didn't ask anything.

Even though nobody else knew Tang San's condition in these two days, she had brought food to him every day, and the corners of her eyes revealed her concern.

After asking Grandmaster several times, Grandmaster had only told her that Tang San would have to sort out his problems on his own.

Even Grandmaster hadn't expected Tang San to be in even more danger than he had expected.

Under the lamplight, Xiao Wu's charming countenance seemed even more beautiful, a pair of black big eyes, long scorpion braid, and still those somewhat exaggeratedly long legs. Even though she only wore the simple school uniform, the air around her was still pervaded with a fresh and clean air.

"Ge, eat something first."

Xiao Wu opened the lunch box, taking out the dishes inside one by one, four dishes and one soup, as well as several steamed buns. Extremely sumptuous, and right now still piping hot.

This was also an important reason why Xiao Wu had rushed over, she was afraid the food would go cold.

Rubbing Xiao Wu's head, Tang San pulled out a chair and, without any trace of politeness, quickly ate in big bites. He had gone two days without tasting what he ate, and now that his issues had been resolved, his appetite naturally returned. He swept clean the dishes in front of him like wind scattering clouds.

Watching Tang San eating heartily, Xiao Wu first looked distracted a moment, then very quickly had a somewhat smiling expression. The two had been together for so many years, how couldn't she spot the changes in Tang San's mood? Seeing that Tang San had already passed the danger zone, Xiao Wu's taut heartstrings relaxed automatically.

"Ge, I'll tell you something good. My spirit power is already thirty ninth rank."

Tang San somewhat astonished raised his head. While chewing a mouthful of food, he said with delighted surprise:

"So quickly, then perhaps by the finals you'll also have broken through to the fortieth rank. Even if you haven't, just breaking through one rank of spirit power will boost strength somewhat."

Xiao Wu smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Fortieth rank might be impossible in time for this tournament. That's after all a bottleneck to break through. But it shouldn't be too far away. I'll try as hard as I can, so you have to try hard too! That match couldn't be blamed on you. After all, our cooperation with Tai Long and the others really was a bit lacking. Once we reach the finals, our Shrek Seven Devils can go up together. The result will definitely be different then. All of us will support you. Everyone's been together for so long, experienced so much, the final champions will definitely be us."

In a short while of work, Tang San had swept the plates clean. When he smiling looked at Xiao Wu quietly clear the bowls and chopsticks, for some reason he unexpectedly didn't feel like thinking about cultivating.

"Ge, we haven't exchanged pointers in quite a while. You rest a bit first, then how about we compare notes later? No spirit abilities and hidden weapons."

Seeing Xiao Wu's as if smiling without smiling appearance, Tang San said:

"Aren't you looking to bully me? Truly well said. Only, even without spirit abilities, right now you still might not beat me."

If it was without using spirit abilities and hidden weapons, before when Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged pointers he would frequently be beaten by her. Her flawless Soft Skill really was too overbearing.

If caught, let alone equal level, even opponents one level higher than her wouldn't stand a chance. In terms of physical fighting capability, among the Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Wu absolutely wasn't inferior to Tang San, even above Dai Mubai.

Xiao Wu pouted, saying:

"No way. My Soft Skill has improved again recently. We haven't had this kind of physical fight in more than half a year?"

Tang San nodded, saying:

"More or less. In this half year everyone's been constantly drilling tactics."

The advantages of Xiao Wu's Soft Skill were clear, and the flaws were equally clear.

That was the need to get close, and when confronting some formidable Spirit Masters, once spirit abilities were released, getting close would be extremely difficult. Even when teleporting.

Like against Huo Wu's Defying Flame Ring that could push away the opponent at any time, Xiao Wu's Soft Skill would naturally be unable to show effect.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had also once carefully researched this bit, but so far they hadn't found a perfect solution. Even though they could resolve it by cooperating, Xiao Wu's lone combat capability still couldn't effectively improve.

"Come, we'll try it now. Let me see to what degree your close combat ability has reached."

Tang San smiling said to Xiao Wu. He wasn't an ordinary person, and even though he had just eaten a lot, it still wouldn't influence a bit of exercise.

The two went outside, facing each other under light of the the seemingly smiling moon.

"Ge, then I'll start."

"Come."

Tang San smiling crooked a finger at Xiao Wu.

Everyone's strength had improved, and Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track had gradually reached a degree of perfection along with the progress of his Mysterious Heaven Skill. Even though Xiao Wu's close combat ability was very strong, as long as he didn't let her get close enough to use force, what was the use of even more power? Therefore, Tang San basically didn't believe he could lose.

Xiao Wu moved. She really was very fast, before he even saw her legs bend, she had already appeared in front of Tang San in a flash. The long scorpion braid behind her whipped out, covering a large area, and she simultaneously stretched out her hands, hugging towards Tang San's neck.

Tang San swiftly took three steps, his body flickering successively as if illusory, his upper body simultaneously bending backwards, extremely ingeniously breaking out of Xiao Wu's attack range. He didn't attack, but swiftly retreated using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't leave it at that. Upper body suddenly leaning over, her pace swiftly accelerating, and with a slight swaying of her upper body, Tang San only felt something blossom before his eyes. In that instant, Xiao Wu's body seemed to become illusory, as if three of her appeared simultaneously.

If he wasn't exceedingly familiar with Xiao Wu's spirit abilities, Tang San would have believed she had used her abilities. But reason told him that it wasn't any kind of spirit ability. The reason why three silhouettes suddenly appeared was her speed.

At the same time as the three silhouettes emerged, Xiao Wu's speed had reached a terrifying degree. Even though it couldn't compare to teleport, she had pulled close the distance to Tang San in just a split second, three silhouettes, two empty and one real, surrounded Tang San all at once.

The scorpion braid whipped out once again.

"So fast!"

Tang San gasped in admiration, but his feet didn't pause. If Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track could be broken so easily, then it wouldn't be Tan Sect's secret lore. As a support skill for hidden weapons, lightness skill had always been extremely important at Tang Sect.

Seeing Tang San's body also becoming illusory, truly like a shadow flickering several times, he was obviously escaping to the left, but in fact his body had already moved to the right. Xiao Wu, determined to win, still only pounced at empty air.

Pausing, Xiao Wu fuming looked at Tang San,

"What are you doing running away so quickly, I'm not going to eat you."

Tang San grinned, saying:

"What's wrong in running when I can't win? If you have the skill, catch me."

Xiao Wu snorted,

"Then I'll use my true strength."

While speaking, her right hand pulled at her scorpion braid.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Tang San teased her.

"Come."

Xiao Wu's one hand held her braid, upper body swaying once again, she charged directly at Tang San. Just when Tang San prepared the same old trick, once again using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge, Xiao Wu suddenly moved.

The scorpion braid flung out, suddenly coming undone. The originally long braid suddenly became like a black cloud that enveloped Tang San completely. Even though Tang San was fast, all this was really too sudden. He only saw his vision go black, and he subconsciously retreated.

The scorpion braid itself could be called Xiao Wu's tool to extend her attack distance. When it was a braid, it was more than one meter sixty long, but now that it suddenly opened, the braid's length abruptly shot up to two meters and change, making Tang San misjudge the distance. Even more importantly, the braid was originally like a whip, and its attack range was after all limited.

But now that the hair dispersed, not only did the area it covered turn from a string to a surface, at the same time it also instantly covered Tang San's field of vision.

Xiao Wu was even faster than Tang San imagined. If Tang San could see the expression in Xiao Wu's eyes right now, he would definitely see a crafty glint within. In that attack before, she basically hadn't used her speed to its full limit. But now, if Zhu Zhuqing was here, she would definitely discover that Xiao Wu's speed unexpectedly wasn't inferior to hers, at most Xiao Wu was only a bit less agile than her.

The braid suddenly separated into five parts, separately binding Tang San's neck, arms and legs. Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track also only let him dodge the two parts below, his arms and neck tightening simultaneously.

Tang San secretly cursed, both arms immediately turning in reverse to grab and remove Xiao Wu's braid. Simultaneously he immediately leapt up, just managing to get away from Xiao Wu's twisting long legs.

Grabbing Xiao Wu's hair, Tang San suddenly had a strange feeling. That hair had a faint delicate fragrance, supple where he grabbed, slipping out of his hands, and basically couldn't be grabbed firmly. Moreover, the hair had an indistinct tenacity, agile as if it was alive.

Suddenly, the hair wound around Tang San's neck and arms released, slipping through the cracks between his fingers. No matter how much strength Tang San used, he was still unable to hold back the smooth black hair.

Xiao Wu's lovable laughter also echoed at this time,

"Ge, this time I want to see how you'll still run."
