Tang San heard her voice, and subconsciously turned around. But who could have expected that Huo Wu would move so suddenly, and the two almost collided.
In order to protect herself, Huo Wu subconsciously used her hands to support herself against Tang San’s chest, and Tang San also in order not to be hit grabbed Huo Wu’s shoulders. The distance between them immediately shortened to where they could hear each other breathe.
Chapter 114: Huo Wu And Xiao Wu’s Kiss
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
“Careful.”
Tang San warned Huo Wu.
Huo Wu bit her lip. Suddenly, she made an extremely shocking motion. Both arms twisting around Tang San’s neck, her red lips moving towards Tang San’s lips.
Tang San leapt with fright, but his neck was held by Huo Wu and he was unable to escape. Stunned, he could only turn his head to the side, and Huo Wu’s kiss didn’t meet his lips, but her soft and burning lips fell on Tang San’s cheek.
Their bodies separated as if by electric shock, and Tang San somewhat shocked said:
“What are you doing?”
Huo Wu’s breathing clearly became hurried, and her plump chest constantly heaved along with her breath. Using a voice only the two of them could hear she said to Tang San:
“No matter what you say, you saved my life that day. You can’t undo that. I will never owe anyone anything. This was my first kiss. From now on, neither of us owes the other anything.”
Finished speaking, Huo Wu turned and ran, gone in the blink of an eye.
Touching the place he had just been kissed, Tang San didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But Huo Wu’s straightforward nature had instilled him zero favorable impression. He laughed helplessly, one life for one kiss, it seemed a bit uneven! He hoped she wouldn’t come look for him again later.
While thinking, Tang San decided to immediately find somewhere to wash his face, he couldn’t by any means leave behind any marks.
Tang San had also left. In a corner of the resting area, another shadow walked out.
With a face so gloomy it seemed water could drip out, Feng Xiaotian looked in the direction Tang San had left. Both his fists tightened, the bones in his arms issuing a series of creaks.
He hadn’t liked Huo Wu for just a day or two, and ordinarily he would naturally also keep his attention on her, and he had noticed when Huo Wu came to find Tang San just now. Seeing the two come to the rest area alone, part curious and part jealous, he followed them quietly. But he knew that Tang San and Huo Wu were both about as strong as him, and in order not to be discovered he could only watch from a distance.
He hadn’t heard Tang San and Huo Wu’s discussion clearly, but their sudden ‘embrace’, and the sight of Huo Wu kissing Tang San, he saw only too clearly. He had chased Huo Wu for so many years, but he had never even touched her, let alone been this affectionate. The goddess of his heart so profaned, at this moment, a tide of jealousy constantly beat at Feng Xiaotian’s heart like ocean waves.
……
Tang San returned to camp without talking to anyone, everyone else had apparently already returned to camp to rest. He felt his cheek subconsciously. Even though he had already washed, there was still some awkwardness in his heart, feeling guilty like a thief.
Just as he prepared to quietly return to his room, Xiao Wu’s voice came from the side,
“Ge, you’re back.”
“Ah? I’m back.”
Seeing Xiao Wu charmingly walk out of the barracks to the side, that trace of awkwardness in Tang San’s heart immediately grew somewhat.
Xiao Wu stepped over in front of Tang San with a few steps, somewhat doubtfully saying:
“Ge. Are you alright? What are you nervous for?”
Tang San really couldn’t stand it, this kind of guilty feeling was extremely painful to him. Smiling wryly he said:
“Fine, I’ll be honest. Otherwise I’ll be choked to death by this feeling. It’s like this……”
Immediately, he feeble-mindedly spoke of what Huo Wu said to him before, as well as without reservations describing Huo Wu kissing him.
As Xiao Wu listened to his description, her big eyes opened even wider, especially hearing Huo Wu trade her first kiss for her life made her even more unable to conceal her astonishment.
“Like that. En, saying it is a load off my mind.”
Having said everything, Tang San’s expression immediately returned to normal. Seeing Xiao Wu’s astonished expression, he probingly asked:
“Xiao Wu, are you alright?”
Xiao Wu’s expression gradually returned to normal, suddenly saying:
“This Huo Wu, too spoiled.”
“Ah?”
Tang San looked at her without understanding.
A giggle escaped from Xiao Wu, and she said:
“Her life is only worth a first kiss? And she still has to devote her life to it. Ge, you really are foolish. It’s no wonder others would say you’re slow-witted.”
Xiao Wu really wanted to laugh. Not at Huo Wu, but rather at Tang San nervously recounting his previous chat with Huo Wu without holding anything back. If Tang San’s intelligence in battle counted as one hundred, then his intelligence in emotional matters was infinitely close to zero.
Looking at Tang San’s head-scratching appearance, Xiao Wu suddenly leapt up, both her legs twisting around Tang San’s waist, her arms winding tightly around his neck.
“Xiao Wu, what are you doing?”
Feeling the soft jade warm fragrance enter his embrace, especially the warm flexible pert butt sticking to his stomach, Tang San’s pulse immediately sped up.
Xiao Wu cupped Tang San’s face with a hand, suddenly looking seriously at Tang San,
“Ge, look at me.”
“What?”
Tang San stared fixedly into Xiao Wu’s eyes.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu kissed Tang San on the lips with a speed that surpassed lightning.
If Huo Wu’s previous kiss only startled Tang San, then Xiao Wu’s current kiss instantly washed everything out of his mind. At this moment, every train of thought Tang San had instantly returned to nothing. That moist, soft and warm sensation seemed to make his very soul tremble.
Leaping off Tang San, Xiao Wu’s low giggle made Tang San gradually return to his senses, hearing Xiao Wu’s soft whisper next to his ear.
“Ge, this is my first kiss. It’s also your first kiss. Hee hee, I snatched it first. It’ll save later concern by other people.”
Once Tang San had truly returned to himself, Xiao Wu was already gone.
Returning to his room with a somewhat numb feeling, Dai Mubai, Oscar and ma Hongjun immediately gathered. The male students were split over two rooms, and the four of them from the Shrek Seven Devils were naturally together, the other room held Tai Long, Huang Yuan and Jing Ling.
“Little San, what are you smirking about?”
Dai Mubai asked.
Tang San felt his face,
“I, I’m smiling?”
A giggle escaped from Oscar,
“Little San, you’re done. It seems you’ve completely become Xiao Wu’s captive. Ai, if you later say you’re not hen-pecked, I won’t believe it.”
“I…..”
Tang San looked at the teasing appearances of his three brothers in front of him, and suddenly snorted righteously and confidently,
“What about being hen-pecked? I’m very proud.”
Finished speaking, under the trio’s dumbstruck gazes, he directly leapt onto his bed, sitting crosslegged to cultivate.
Even Xiao Wu herself hadn’t expected that this simple kiss would cut open the last restraints on Tang San’s heart. The relationship between the two also finally began to promote from siblings. Because Tang San suddenly discovered, after Huo Wu kissed his face, his first thought was to wash, why was this? When Xiao Wu also kissed him he understood it clearly, it was because of Xiao Wu. Because he was afraid Xiao Wu would misunderstand. And that kiss from Xiao Wu also seemed to
open a window in Tang San’s heart, through which a wisp of tender feelings completely poured inside.
The later few days was a triumphant progress for Shrek Academy, consecutively defeating four opponents, including the other team Tang San had paid attention to. Relying on the strength of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun, in the next five matches, at most only three people appeared on stage from Shrek Academy. Dai Mubai also accomplished the feat of defeating seven by himself. So far, in the fourteen matches total, Shrek Academy had already obtained eleven successive victories. These eleven fights also included the Skywater Academy that had caused them so much trouble in the qualifiers.
In their victory against Skywater Academy, Ma Hongjun once again revealed his outstanding talent, consecutively defeating Shui Bing-Er and Xue Wu. Even though it was only two consecutive wins, he had defeated the two most crucial members. Without the advantage of the spirit fusion ability, Skywater Academy’s third member was utterly smashed in front of Dai Mubai. The Shrek Seven Devils amply revealed the power of their individual strength.
Eleven consecutive victories presently put them in first place in the Heaven Dou Empire ranking competition. However, this didn’t mean Shrek Academy would be number one in the end. Because, in in the last three rounds of the competition, they would face their most difficult test so far in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. In the space of three days, they would face two formidable opponents. The Godwind Academy and Thunderclap Academy they didn’t meet in the qualifiers.
“Teacher, let me go up today.”
Tang San looked somewhat anxiously at Grandmaster.
Their opponent today was Thunderclap Academy. So far in the competition, Thunderclap Academy had only lost one round, and that was when facing Godwind Academy. Their overall strength was a cut above Blazing Academy, and would clearly defeat Blazing Academy in circumstances where both sides attributes didn’t counter each other. And the conductivity of Skywater Academy’s water attribute spirit power made their confrontation with Thunderclap Academy completely without suspense. The destructive power of thunder and lightning was in some aspects even greater than flame, and Botanic Academy had also lost without any suspense. Thunderclap Academy’s only loss was when facing Godwind Academy.
Grandmaster looked at Tang San, saying indifferently:
“Little San, let me ask you one question. If you were to go up, how many opponents could you defeat?”
Tang San stared blankly a moment, he naturally wouldn’t dare boast in front of Grandmaster, and after hesitating a moment said:
“At least one. I don’t dare say more.”
Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
Grandmaster said indifferently:
“That’s right. Even if your Blue Silver Grass has ice and fire immunity, it’s unable to resist lightning. Your control power is restrained to a degree when facing lightning spirits. Because your Blue Silver Grass is unable to be completely nonconductive. I think you should have discovered this problem originally when you confronted my nephew. If you lost today, if you were injured, then whether your mental condition or strength, they would both be weakened. If our luck is bad tomorrow, and we continue to draw Godwind Academy, do you think we could still continue to accomplish successive victories?”
Light flashed in Tang San’s eyes,
“Teacher, you mean to have me deal with Godwind Academy.”
Grandmaster nodded, saying:
“With your strength, going all out and prevailing over Thunderclap Academy wouldn’t be difficult. The key is that there is a fifty percent chance of meeting Godwind Academy in our next match. I’ve carefully observed Godwind Academy’s strength, among the five elemental academies, they are doubtless the most powerful team. In order to deal with them, you will need your full strength. For today’s match against Thunderclap Academy, trust in your comrades. I will now declare the order of appearance. The first person to go up is, Tai Long, after followed by Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun. Any questions?”
“None.”
Everyone agreed loudly.
“Brothers, work hard.”
Tang San held out his closed fist.
Dai Mubai met his gaze, an intangible overbearing air spreading from him,
“Don’t worry, little San. Leave this match to us. As for Godwind Academy, we’ll look to you.”
“Fine.”
Raising his hand, Tang San and Dai Mubai’s bumped fists, then again held them together. The others also put up their hands one after another, everyone roaring thrice. This moment, the whole eleven Shrek Academy participating students hearts’ completely came together, they, were truly one.
The match started very quickly. Tang San calmly sat in the audience. Trusting his team, that was his only choice. Renouncing two rounds in the qualifiers had meant Shrek Academy couldn’t take the number one seat, to Tang San this was a matter for regret. Even though the ranking competition was the least important round in the tournament, Tang San had long ago resolved not to lose again.
Thunderclap Academy was very powerful, there was no need to doubt the attack power of any thunder attribute Spirit Master, especially in explosiveness. They were brimming with a ruthless aura.
Thunderclap Academy had altogether four Spirit Masters surpassing the fortieth rank, in this respect they were the same as Godwind Academy. Even though Blazing Academy had finally caught up in this respect, that was after all not the same as the contestants of these two great academies that had surpassed the fortieth rank long ago.
Thunderclap Academy clearly also regarded this match as very important, the four fortieth ranked Spirit Masters were all concentrated at the rear of their lineup. They would prefer to give up morale in order to first clearly see Shrek Academy’s battle order.
In the first match, beyond expectations, the pure strength Tai Long defeated his opponent. What he relied on wasn’t his terrifying power to attack, but rather his ability to take a beating.
Pure strength Spirit Masters didn’t just have formidable attack, but their frightening strength also made their physical defense extremely abnormal. Tai Long just relied on the mentality of an immortal cockroach to rigidly withstand round after round of attacks from his opponent, obtaining ultimate victory by exhausting his opponent’s spirit power.
Before confronting Thunderclap Academy, Grandmaster had for the first time given his students some directions in tactics. The advice he gave Tai Long was only one simple word: Stall. Stall until the opponent’s spirit power is practically exhausted.
Having researched spirits for so many years, even though Grandmaster didn’t dare say he could identify every spirit in the world, his understanding of the merits and drawbacks of all kinds of spirits was really only too clear.
The greatest characteristic of thunder attribute spirits was terrifying attack power. Their burst strength was incomparable. But everything was balanced. Under the appearance of valiant attack power, thunder attribute spirits also hid its weakness.
There was no need to doubt the formidably explosive attack power, but equally, when it erupted, the spirit power it consumed was also more than other attribute spirits. Even though Tai Long didn’t attack his opponent, that didn’t mean he couldn’t dodge. And in order to defeat him, his opponent had to practically bring out one combat spirit ability after another. Even though attacks poured down on Tai Long like a torrent, that definitely wasn’t the full story. Just like this, as the opponent several blasted Tai Long to the ground several times, so that even his hair stood upright, and his clothes were damaged, when he believed he could defeat Tai Long, he was shocked to discover that he no longer had enough spirit power.
In the team, Tai Long was an absolute meat shield, and under Grandmaster guidance, his defensive strength had advanced one step further over the past days. The outward sorry appearance and true victory made his stiff face reveal a heartfelt smile. After all, the opponent he defeated was from Thunderclap
Academy!
Tai Long’s ‘pleasant surprise’ for the Thunderclap Academy still hadn’t ended. In the second fight, with spirit power and spirit abilities completely focused on defense, he once again equally exhausted his opponent to death.
Even though thunder and lightning had powerful attack, it still fell short of that kind of focused piercing ability of the wind element. Until the third opponent, when Tai Long was finally unable to endure because of exhausted spirit power, he still exhausted a substantial part of the opponent’s spirit power before conceding.
The second person to go up, Jing Ling, provided his opponent even more of a headache. His spirit wasn’t considered too brilliant, but as an agility attack system Spirit Master, there was no need to doubt Jing Ling’s speed. His opponent was a power attack system Spirit Master. Grandmaster only gave him one word of advice: Dodge.
Even the most formidable spirit ability must still hit its target to have an effect. Jing Ling was clearly faster than his opponent, and no matter how fast thunder was, there were still signs before it was used. Jing Ling relied on his keen sense of judgement to several times one after another dodge the opponent’s attacks, forcing the opponent to use large scale attack spirit abilities to deal with him. However, when he prepared to use large scale attacks, just like the his two comrades before him, he discovered his spirit power was already in critical condition. He had still consumed too much when he defeated Tai Long.
Just like this, Jing Ling only used one spirit ability to defeat his opponent. Drawing out Thunderclap Academy’s final four.
There was a fundamental difference between Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors, and even though Jing Ling used the same tactics, Thunderclap Academy’s coaching teacher had clearly seen through his goal. The fourth student to go on stage basically didn’t give him a chance, and blasted Jing Ling out of the ring with two consecutive large scale attack spirit abilities.
A one-off consumption of spirit power was always better than mutually grinding each other down. Thunderclap Academy’s teacher immediately revealed the characteristic of fifteen tons of thunder.
