Tang San's expression hardened, and the first yellow spirit ring under his feet lit up.
"First Spirit Ability, Binding!"
Whoosh!
Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass, like vines, surged forward in layers, intercepting the large fireball mid-air.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the Blue Silver Grass were all incinerated.
Tang San's face paled slightly.
He looked forward, his Zhuge Repeating Crossbow just raised in his hand.
But Ye Qiu's figure was no longer in front of him.
From the side, a afterimage threw a punch at his face.
Mysterious Jade Hand!
Tang San knelt, twisted his hips, and his jade-colored palm was as hard as iron.
He met Ye Qiu's fist.
"Heh~!"
Ye Qiu sneered, and suddenly frost formed on his right fist, covering it with a layer of ice crystals.
Tang San frowned.
He didn't understand what was going on with the Spirit Ability he was using.
His Spirit was clearly an eye!
Crack!
Their fists met, making a crisp sound.
Ye Qiu's other fist also slammed towards him.
Tang San was about to pull his left hand back, but suddenly felt a chill.
His pupils dilated violently; his left hand was actually frozen.
Their fists were connected, encased in ice.
Ye Qiu wouldn't let him easily pull away and turn into a porcupine or a projectile.
"Damn it!"
Tang San cursed, then aimed the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his other hand directly at Ye Qiu and fired.
"Hmm? Heh, you're really asking for death!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't dodge his Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
His face immediately showed a cruel expression.
In his opinion, at such close range.
Even a god couldn't dodge the arrows shot from the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!
"How is this possible! It missed!"
Tang San let out a shocked sound.
He watched with wide eyes as the arrow he shot entered Ye Qiu's body.
But the imagined blood spray didn't appear.
The arrow, as if cutting through air, embedded itself in the ground far behind Ye Qiu.
"Ah, puff!"
While he was shocked.
Ye Qiu, however, showed no mercy.
His left fist was the color of cold jade, wrapped in irregular ice.
It was like a transparent, hard gauntlet.
He punched Tang San's face, smashing half of it.
Blood gushed from his nose, his face was a bloody mess, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His eyes were a bit unfocused but quickly recovered.
Purple Demon Eye was still flickering.
'No! It definitely didn't Miss just now; he phased through my attack!'
As Ye Qiu used the connected ice to pull him back, intending to make his head collide with his fist again.
Tang San had already figured it out.
His face turned ashen, and the muscles in his chest contracted.
The Powder Shooting Shadow hidden there was immediately triggered, unleashing a dense spray of poisonous needles, along with a cloud of poisonous mist.
If he couldn't hit him, then add poison!
"Heh heh..." Ye Qiu sneered, still not dodging, and punched Tang San's face again.
"Impossible! Puff!" Tang San spat out another mouthful of blood.
The smashed part of his face, tainted by the poisonous mist, felt an agonizing, rasping pain like ants.
His entire head was knocked backward by Ye Qiu's punch.
His head was thrown back, his waist arched backward, and he even floated slightly in the air.
Unfortunately, with his hand held by Ye Qiu, he couldn't fly backward.
"How is this possible!"
Opening his already slit and bleeding eyes, his eyeballs rolled, staring intently at Ye Qiu, who had already inhaled his specially made poisonous gas.
How could he be fine?!
Punching out, Ye Qiu smiled disdainfully.
Ever since he had consumed the Fiery Apricot Passionate Consort and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, these two Immortal Herbs, he was already immune to all poisons!
Without stopping.
Ye Qiu was about to pull Tang San back again, to hit him again with that blood-and-flesh-stained ice gauntlet.
The fist magnified again in front of Tang San!
Panic and fear had already appeared in his eyes.
His Hidden Weapons and poison, which he had always been so proud of, were actually ineffective against Ye Qiu!
If this continued... he would lose!
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wu in the distance, looking over with a worried expression.
'No! I must not lose!'
Tang San's eyes widened sharply, and his right hand hid behind his back.
His body was pulled back by Ye Qiu, and he gritted his teeth, meeting Ye Qiu's iron fist.
The wind from the approaching fist blew across his wound, feeling somewhat fiery.
A triumphant smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face.
Tang San also sneered, muttering through his blood-filled mouth.
"First Spirit Ability! Binding!"
Whoosh! Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Ye Qiu's right arm.
There were also barbs extending out, imbued with a paralyzing poison.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing that both of Ye Qiu's hands were immobilized, his right hand, which was behind his back, immediately rose.
In his hand, a small black hammer had appeared at some point.
Subconsciously, Tang San even used the Chaotic Cloak's force exertion technique.
Calf, waist, arm...
Clear Sky Hammer, suddenly smashed towards Ye Qiu's face.
Crack!
A shattering sound rang out.
Thud!
A muffled thud, blood splattered.
Tang San's face was turned to the side, his eyes a bit unfocused; the side of his face that had been intact was now stained with blood.
Just now, he only felt a slight warmth in his left hand.
Immediately after, Ye Qiu's right fist donned the ice gauntlet and struck his intact left cheek.
"Hehehe."
Ye Qiu's left hand was bound by the Blue Silver Grass, and his right hand remained in a punching posture.
His face carried a hint of delight.
His Sharingan was not for show.
Every move Tang San made was seen by him.
In fact, Ye Qiu had seen through his entire being, as if he were naked!
"Ugh! Go to hell!" Tang San forcibly stopped his body, his feet sinking into the ground.
He twisted his body, using the force to his advantage!
He transferred the power of Ye Qiu's punch to his right hand, and the hammer still swung towards Ye Qiu.
At the same time, the two spirit rings under his feet lit up simultaneously.
Binding, Parasite!
Blue Silver Grass surged from the ground.
It tightly pulled Ye Qiu's right hand, and Blue Silver Grass continuously grew on his body, enveloping him.
Tang San's face showed a cruel smile, his cracked lips bloody, like a man-eating demon.
"Pfft! You really don't learn!"
Ye Qiu scoffed, and in Tang San's disbelieving eyes.
He directly phased through his Blue Silver Grass.
He instantly appeared in front of him, raising his right fist.
Bending his knees, twisting his waist, relaxing his shoulders.
Then, he suddenly exerted all his strength.
A straight punch directly hit Tang San's face.
The bone-chilling sensation crushed his nose bridge.
Snot, tears, and blood flowed down, a mixture of salty and bitter tastes.
His mind was also buzzing.
His feet left the ground, and he flew directly backward.
Blood splattered in the air, blooming into flowers of blood.
Whoosh!
"Still not giving up?"
As he flew backward, Tang San didn't forget to use his Hidden Weapon technique to throw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Unfortunately, it was still dodged by Ye Qiu using Kamui.
Tang San's attack speed was too slow, and his understanding of Ye Qiu was even still stuck in the days of Notting College.
But Ye Qiu was different; he had a sufficient understanding of the current Tang San.
The prepared against the unprepared!
Who would lose if not him!
Bang!
The Clear Sky Hammer created a basin-sized crater behind Ye Qiu.
Tang San also crashed onto the ground not far away.
His head slightly tilted back, his eyes already showing a hint of madness.
"What kind of Spirit Ability is this! Impossible! It's impossible to Miss! This is impossible..."
Muttering incoherently, Tang San struggled to get up.
Ye Qiu walked forward unhurriedly.
From the beginning until now, it had only been five punches, and Tang San was already beaten to a bloody pulp.
Tang San knelt on the ground, slowly getting up, his face covered in blood, which dripped down from his chin.
In contrast, Ye Qiu, in his white and silver trim outfit, had not a single drop of blood on him, spotless.
"It's impossible to Miss! Go to hell!"
His hands pressed on the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, his two hands became afterimages, continuously throwing Hidden Weapons at Ye Qiu's position.
Ye Qiu walked slowly, observing his Hidden Weapon throwing technique.
Then he slowly started to run, running faster and faster.
He charged towards Tang San.
Bathed in hundreds of Hidden Weapons, he still didn't dodge, and none of the Hidden Weapons could touch him.
Soon he arrived in front of Tang San.
He lightly tapped his toes, immediately appearing beside Tang San, intending to grab him by the back of his collar.
"Tch!" Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood-mixed saliva, quickly straightened up, and retreated backward.
At the same time, he slightly hunched his body, and from the back of his collar, a thicker arrow shot towards Ye Qiu's face.
Close-fitting Flower-Patterned Crossbow!
Swish!
Unfortunately, it still passed through without any suspense.
Ye Qiu continued to press forward, his brows suddenly furrowing.
Under the perception of his Sharingan, Tang San's Hidden Weapon throwing technique had changed slightly.
Tang San's face was grim as he mechanically threw his Hidden Weapons—several poison-tipped Golden Money Darts.
The Golden Money Darts streaked past Ye Qiu, who was already standing in front of Tang San.
In his scarlet eyes, a disheveled, blood-splattered figure was reflected.
"Are you done throwing?" Ye Qiu stood before him, his voice flat.
"Done." There was no longer any fear in Tang San's eyes; he was using his Purple Demon Eye with full concentration, guarding against Ye Qiu's illusions.
Mysterious Jade Hand!
He threw a punch at Ye Qiu, completely lacking in skill.
Ye Qiu sidestepped, causing his attack to Miss.
Ice condensed on his hand, ready to strike Tang San.
Tang San ignored it, seemingly intending to trade injuries, and also swung his fist at Ye Qiu.
But his speed was no match for Ye Qiu's.
"Xiao Qiu! Be careful!"
"Ye Qiu!"
Behind him, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's exclamations of surprise rang out.
Tang San finally stopped concealing it, revealing a hint of a deranged smile.
"Haha... it's too late!"
Whoosh!
Batwing Reincarnation!
The few Golden Money Darts Tang San had thrown earlier arced through the air, and as Tang San's words fell, they were already piercing towards Ye Qiu's back.
Splat!
"Cough cough...!"
A few drops of black blood were left on the ground.
Ye Qiu's smile remained.
Several Golden Money Darts were embedded in Tang San's shoulder, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"How could you... ah, pfft!"
Ye Qiu didn't give him a chance to say more; a gauntlet reappeared on his fist, and he punched Tang San in the stomach.
Tang San's feet left the ground, and when he landed again, he directly knelt on the ground.
"What a pity! Still a bit off..."
Ye Qiu chuckled softly; he had long since noticed Tang San's abnormality.
Ye Qiu also had some understanding of his underhanded tricks.
Batwing Reincarnation!
It was precisely this technique that allowed him to lead Shrek to become champions!
Tang San knelt on the ground.
Clutching his stomach, blood constantly dripped from his mouth, which tasted bitter, and he almost vomited bile.
He was breathing heavily, unable to speak, and had no strength left to fight.
Ye Qiu also stopped at the appropriate moment.
He didn't continue the beating.
It wouldn't do to delay Tang San from helping Oscar hunt for his spirit ring!
If he, as the son, didn't go, his father wouldn't come, and his play wouldn't be good!
The injuries Ye Qiu had inflicted were only superficial; as for the poison, it was his own, and he would likely recover quickly.
It wouldn't delay their subsequent journey.
"Xiao Qiu! Are you alright?" Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing ran over to him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Ye Qiu also went to meet them, holding one in each hand.
"Ye Qiu, did Rongrong go to your room?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed as she imitated Xiao Wu, hugging Ye Qiu's arm to her chest.
Her heart felt a little nervous.
"Definitely, she's there. You can smell Rongrong's scent on him."
Xiao Wu sniffed at Ye Qiu, then rolled her eyes at him.
"Uh... let's go find Rongrong and have breakfast first!"
Ye Qiu gave a dry laugh.
Even though he was no longer as he once was, his old face still flushed.
Zhu Zhuqing's presence truly felt different to him; she was very fierce!
"Alright!" Xiao Wu also noticed Ye Qiu's change, frowning as she looked at the ominous sign on Zhu Zhuqing's body.
She sighed helplessly.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her body swaying along with the movement.
Not only her, but Ye Qiu's face also felt much hotter.
The three of them paid no attention to Tang San, who was still prostrate on the ground, not even having the desire to glance at him.
They stepped over the carrots scattered on the ground and slowly walked away.
"Xiao Qiu~ will you buy me some carrots?" Xiao Wu's crimson eyes were as gentle as water as she swayed Ye Qiu's arm, coaxing him.
She was indeed a bit craving.
But she only wanted Ye Qiu's carrots.
"Of course! If we go shopping today, I'll help you stock up!"
"Thank you, Xiao Qiu, kiss~"
Xiao Wu happily nibbled on Ye Qiu's face, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Compared to carrots, she preferred Xiao Qiu's taste even more.
"Xiao Wu...!"
Tang San, like a defeated dog, lay prostrate on the ground, his head covered in blood.
He looked up, watching Xiao Wu accompany Ye Qiu, slowly walking away.
His heart was bleeding!
"Ah! Ye Qiu! Wait for me, I will definitely kill you!!"
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and blood seeped from the wounds on his face again.
He gripped the turf on the ground tightly with both hands.
"You just wait for me!"
His Tang Sect's methods were not limited to these, and his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
...
The three arrived at Ye Qiu's residence, opened the door, and entered.
"Ye Qiu, where did you go?!"
Ning Rongrong had just woken up not long ago, rubbing her eyes and sitting up, even forgetting to pull up the blanket.
"Ye Qiu, what did you and Rongrong do? She, she's not even wearing clothes?" Zhu Zhuqing was incredibly abashed, lowering her head as she questioned Ye Qiu.
"Cough cough... I, we didn't do anything! It was just like that day with you..."
Ye Qiu coughed twice, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand as he explained.
Hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing's face grew even redder.
She had made quite a sacrifice that day!
"Rongrong! Why are you only wearing a transparent outfit...?" And the rogue rabbit, Xiao Wu, had already gone forward, poking at others' consciences as she spoke.
"Ah! Xiao Wu, Zhuqing... W-why are you here?!"
Ning Rongrong, who had been attacked, cried out in surprise, quickly grabbed the blanket, and burrowed back in, her entire head turning red.
"Hmph hmph! We woke up and didn't see you, so of course we came here to catch you in the act! Ouch! Xiao Qiu~"
Xiao Wu covered her head, looking tearfully at Ye Qiu, who had given her a chestnut.
"Why say it so horribly?" Ye Qiu rubbed her head helplessly.
"Exactly! Miss was already Ye Qiu's!"
Ning Rongrong, clutching the blanket, echoed, then her smile suddenly stiffened as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was wrinkling her nose.
"I don't think Xiao Wu was wrong at all!" Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice rang out, as she picked up a blue and white striped piece of clothing in her hand.
Her gaze towards Ning Rongrong held some displeasure.
This girl was even more excessive than herself.
"By the way, did this get damp from being on the floor?"
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes, looking at Ning Rongrong teasingly.
"Th-this... Ah!!!" Ning Rongrong stammered, unable to speak, and, utterly embarrassed, she shrieked, burying her entire self in the blanket.
"Rongrong, did Rongrong take off all her equipment?" Xiao Wu also looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"What exactly were you two doing?" Zhu Zhuqing also turned her gaze to Ye Qiu.
"Ah! N-no, don't say it!" Ning Rongrong's anxious voice came from under the covers.
"Hehe... well, nothing! The weather last night was indeed a bit damp... Ahaha!"
Ye Qiu scratched his head, laughing dryly, his face full of embarrassment.
He really couldn't tell the two of them about this, otherwise Ning Rongrong would surely bite him to death.
Zhu Zhuqing merely gave him a faint glance.
She wanted to throw the item in her hand to Ye Qiu, her face reddened, then she threw it back on the ground.
Xiao Wu also stuck out her tongue at Ye Qiu, making a face.
Ye Qiu gave a sheepish smile and called out to the bundle of blankets.
"Rongrong! Come out quickly..."
"Mm, wait for me!"
Soon, the bundle of blankets wiggled a few times, and Ning Rongrong poked her head out again.
She had already changed into normal clothes.
...
Not long after, the group went to the Shrek cafeteria together.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu linked arms with Ye Qiu.
Ning Rongrong followed beside them, her face flushed and her head slightly lowered.
She would likely be unable to raise her head for a while.
Dai Mubai, feeling angry, had gone out to eat with Fatty, out of sight, out of mind.
And Oscar was likely still cultivating.
So, this time, there was no one else in the cafeteria.
Breakfast was spent with the four of them feeding each other!
Dong! Dong!
A loud bell rang out.
This was the sound for Shrek students to gather for class.
"Is class starting so soon?"
Xiao Wu bit her chopsticks, a little unhappy.
"Don't worry, at least for this period, I'll be with you all!"
"That's good!" Ning Rongrong wiped the corner of her mouth, looking happily at Ye Qiu.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also showed some joy.
Although she very much wanted to become stronger, this didn't seem to conflict with accompanying Ye Qiu.
"Alright! Let's go!"
Ye Qiu smiled; gathering at this time likely meant Oscar had already broken through.
He placed the tableware in the designated spot.
Ye Qiu led the three girls to the training ground to gather.
