The moment their eyes met, Xu Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Su Mo's handsome face so close to hers, and a blush instantly spread across her fair cheeks.
This was the first time she had observed Su Mo at such close range; she could even feel Su Mo's breath.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's face as red as a monkey's bottom, Su Mo patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan straightened her short skirt and sat down next to Su Mo.
After Xu Xiaoyan sat down, Su Mo began to explain, "Practical training is meaningless to me."
"Moreover, if our cultivation levels were to be suppressed to the same level, Wu Changkong would not be my match."
"what?"
Upon hearing Su Mo say that Wu Changkong was no match for him at the same cultivation level, Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and her gaze subconsciously turned to the blue figure standing in the center of the playground.
In the center of the playground, Wu Changkong held the Heavenly Frost Sword, his figure nimble, moving like a ghost among Tang Wulin and his companions.
No matter how Tang Wulin and his group organized a counterattack, they couldn't even touch the hem of Wu Changkong's clothes.
Although Wu Changkong was fighting three against one, it was Tang Wulin and his companions who were covered in sweat and looked disheveled. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Tang Wulin and his group were the ones being attacked.
Even such a powerful being was no match for Su Mo.
For a moment, Xu Xiaoyan actually felt a little inferior, feeling that she was not good enough for Su Mo.
But having finally met someone like Su Mo who stirred her heart, Xu Xiaoyan wasn't about to give up so easily.
"Su Mo, can you help me become stronger?"
After taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoyan mustered her courage, stared at Su Mo with a serious expression, and said, word by word, "I don't want to be a burden in the Tianhai Grand Competition."
Looking at Xu Xiaoyan, whose eyes revealed determination, a stark contrast to her usual gentle and weak appearance, Su Mo paused for a moment, then put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "Let me make it clear beforehand, my training is very strict."
You'd better be prepared!
"Uh-huh."
Xu Xiaoyan nodded seriously. As long as she could become stronger, as long as she could keep up with Su Mo's pace.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, she can endure it.
"Okay, remember to come to my house this weekend."
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan was determined, Su Mo readily sent her his address.
After receiving Su Mo's address, Xu Xiaoyan tugged at Su Mo's sleeve and said cautiously, "Su Mo, actually, I have a secret I haven't told you yet."
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's mysterious look, Su Mo became interested and said, "Tell me more!"
"My martial spirit becomes stronger at night!"
Seemingly realizing that her statement was somewhat vague, Xu Xiaoyan quickly added, "At night, my martial spirit will transform from an ice staff into a star wheel, granting me astrological attributes."
"With the absolute validity of astrological attributes, my first soul skill can freeze anyone for at least one second."
After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan looked at Su Mo with anticipation.
Su Mo, who hadn't paid much attention to Xu Xiaoyan's words at first, immediately became interested. "Can a Limit Douluo level work too?"
"OK!"
Xu Xiaoyan answered very decisively, without any hesitation.
Now it's Su Mo's turn to be caught off guard. The thought of a level 17 Soul Master controlling a Limit Douluo for a second is enough to send chills down one's spine.
However, every technique has its drawbacks.
Xu Xiaoyan's absolute control must also have some flaws.
Just as Su Mo was about to ask Xu Xiaoyan for more information, Xie Xie rushed over.
"Su Mo, Teacher Wu is looking for you."
"Find me?"
Upon hearing Xie Xie say that Wu Changkong was looking for him, Su Mo was completely confused, wondering what Wu Changkong was up to.
"Yes!"
Xie Xie nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Su Mo got up, dusted off his backside, and slowly walked towards Wu Changkong's direction.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan quickly got up and followed.
When Su Mo arrived at the center of the playground, Wu Changkong still stood silently in place, holding the Heavenly Frost Sword in one hand.
"Ice Block Man, what do you want with me?"
Su Mo didn't bother to call Wu Changkong by his real name, so she gave him a nickname instead.
"!!!"
Tang Wulin, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass taking a break, saw that Su Mo actually dared to give Wu Changkong a nickname and even called it out in front of Wu Changkong. He immediately gave Su Mo a thumbs up in secret.
"..."
Upon hearing Su Mo address him as "Ice Man," Wu Changkong remained remarkably calm, showing no anger whatsoever.
The most important thing for a qualified swordsman is to have a calm and tranquil mind.
No matter what, you must not let external things disturb your peace of mind.
Once a swordsman's mind is in turmoil, defeat is not far off.
Wu Changkong raised his right hand, pointing the tip of the Heavenly Frost Sword at Su Mo, and said succinctly, "Come!"
Wu Changkong still harbored resentment about his previous loss to Su Mo and wanted to get revenge.
As a former disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court and a core member of the Tang Sect, the honor he carried would never allow him to lose to a greenhorn.
However, Su Mo only came to the academy twice last semester, leaving him no opportunity to redeem himself.
Now that Su Mo was right in front of him, he naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
When Tang Wulin and Gu Yue saw that Wu Changkong was going to have a one-on-one match with Su Mo, their eyes lit up.
The last time Su Mo and Wu Changkong competed, although neither of them used their martial souls, the scene was still vivid in their minds.
Now that the two are about to clash again using their martial souls, it will surely be a feast for their eyes and they will benefit greatly from it.
"can!"
Su Mo nodded.
Although I don't know what's wrong with Wu Changkong, I haven't been able to stretch my muscles in a long time, so it's good to play with Wu Changkong to kill some time.
With a slight flick of his finger, Su Mo conjured a simple, unadorned horizontal sword in his hand, its blade reflecting a cold gleam in the sunlight.
Seeing the knife in Su Mo's hand gleaming coldly in the sunlight, Wu Changkong recognized it at a glance. It was the same knife Su Mo had used to kill the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The blade that enabled Su Mo to kill that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was incredibly powerful.
"As expected... this is no ordinary sword."
Feeling the chill emanating from the horizontal blade in Su Mo's hand, Wu Changkong pondered for a moment, then silently increased the solidity of the Heavenly Frost Sword.
He certainly didn't want the Frost Sword to be broken in the upcoming competition.
As the Heavenly Frost Sword became more solid, a chilling white aura, as sharp as the cold wind of early winter, emanated from the Heavenly Frost Sword in Wu Changkong's hand.
The terrifying chill made Tang Wulin and the others watching from the sidelines instinctively shrink their necks.
Seeing this, Su Mo twirled his sword, creating a magnificent sword flourish, the sound of the blade ringing out crisply and melodiously.
"You come first, or me?"
Su Mo spoke casually.
Chapter 70 Suppression
Wu Changkong remained silent, a faint purple glint appearing in his cold eyes as he tried to find Su Mo's weakness with his Purple Demon Eye.
Seeing that Wu Changkong did not make a move, Su Mo was not in a hurry. He hugged his sword to his chest and leisurely waited with Wu Changkong.
When both sides possess strong insight, whoever strikes first will be at a disadvantage.
Who do you think will win this time, Teacher Wu or Su Mo?
Seeing Wu Changkong and Su Mo locked in a standoff without making a move, Xie Xie crossed his arms behind his head, looking like he was enjoying the show.
"It must be Teacher Wu!"
Tang Wulin said somewhat uncertainly.
He clearly remembered the shocking scene of Wu Changkong, with his Soul Emperor cultivation, battling a Soul Douluo in Tiandou City.
Moreover, although Su Mo won the last competition, neither of them used their martial souls; it was simply a contest of skills and experience.
Now that I'm using my Martial Soul, everything is different.
"Gu Yue, what do you think?"
Tang Wulin subconsciously turned around to ask Gu Yue's opinion, only to be surprised to find that Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were sitting on the other side.
For some reason, Tang Wulin felt a slight pang of bitterness after seeing Gu Yue keep a certain distance from him.
"Gu Yue wasn't like this before!"
Tang Wulin muttered something under his breath as he watched Gu Yue's gaze fixed on Su Mo and Wu Changkong.
In the past, Gu Yue would sit next to him after every training session. This was the first time she had ever kept her distance from him like this and focused all her attention on other people.
"Wu Lin, what did you say?"
Xie Xie, who hadn't heard Tang Wulin's mutterings clearly, asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin quickly concealed the bitterness on his face and shook his head, "No!"
Xie Xie wanted to say something more, but his attention was drawn away by the commotion on the field.
Moved!
Almost simultaneously, Su Mo and Wu Changkong made their moves.
