"Then this counts as my private challenge to you, do you dare to accept?" Shi Yu insisted.
He looked at Xu Sanshi with a provocative gaze. This person needed to be provoked with some goading.
"What's there to be afraid of, but if you have the ability, fight me based on strength," Xu Sanshi responded with a tough attitude.
Shi Yu: "You mean you won't suppress your strength?"
"My Soul Power was cultivated through my own ability, why should I suppress it to the same level as yours to fight you?" Xu Sanshi said as a matter of course.
Senior knew that Shi Yu's Space methods were troublesome. If it were the same Soul Power level, Senior really wouldn't have much of an advantage.
Senior wasn't stupid and wouldn't easily fall into a trap.
"That makes some sense. Then we'll each rely on our own abilities in this fight, until someone says they are a turtle bastard," Shi Yu thought for a moment and agreed to Xu Sanshi's suggestion.
"You really want to fight me based on our own abilities?" Xu Sanshi confirmed, somewhat disbelievingly.
Senior was a four-ring Soul Grandmaster, while this person was only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. There was a difference of two Soul Rings, nearly twenty levels of Soul Power. With such a large gap, Senior actually dared to fight him?
Xu Sanshi felt that the other party had a problem with his brain and was also a bit angry. This feeling of being underestimated was truly uncomfortable.
It made Senior want to press Shi Yu to the ground and give him a good beating right now.
"You don't dare?" Shi Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You're spouting nonsense. You dare, what do I have to be afraid of? It's still the same saying, you'd better not keep running away in a sorry state, otherwise there's no need for us to spar," Xu Sanshi said angrily.
"It's good that you dare. Let's go find a place to fight now," Shi Yu was a bit impatient.
"Do you guys think I don't exist?" Yan Shaozhe's angry voice sounded, sternly reprimanding them.
Senior revealed some of his aura, causing Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi to immediately become solemn, and they instantly wilted, not daring to speak further.
"What do you mean by this? Are you disregarding school rules?" Yan Shaozhe was very strict and was indeed a little angry.
Senior had the intention of mediating the conflict between the two, but these two kept escalating it.
Their fight was completely aimed at making the other lose face completely. This hatred could easily escalate to a point of no return. Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi both remained silent.
"I think this method of resolution is not bad," Yan Shaozhe was about to give them a lecture but was interrupted by a lazy voice.
Everyone looked towards the direction the voice came from, which was outside the office.
An Old man dressed casually, even a bit sloppily, appeared in their line of sight, eating a chicken leg.
"Xuan Lao?" Shi Yu's first reaction upon seeing this Old man was to think of this name.
Someone dressed sloppily and fond of eating chicken legs, the only one who fit this description seemed to be the Gluttonous Douluo, Xuan Lao.
Yan Shaozhe's reaction also proved his guess was correct.
Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Outer Courtyard, who had been interrupted while speaking, not only didn't get angry but instead bowed respectfully to Xuan Lao: "Xuan Lao."
Director Du and Zhang Lexuan also followed suit and bowed in greeting.
Shi Yu naturally didn't hold back either and bowed to Xuan Lao.
"Mm," Xuan Lao nodded casually, finished eating the chicken leg, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then looked at Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi with a smile.
Being looked at by his smiling eyes made Shi Yu feel uncomfortable all over.
"Your suggestion is very good. This Old man can personally seal Xu Sanshi's Soul Power to the same level as yours so you can have a fight."
"But after the fight, your grievances must also end here. From now on, you are not allowed to dwell on past grievances. Can you do that?" Xuan Lao said casually.
Xu Sanshi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything. Senior still knew how terrifying Xuan Lao was.
Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything either. Since it was Xuan Lao speaking, Senior naturally couldn't refuse him.
Shi Yu didn't answer immediately but thought for a moment before saying: "Okay, but I hope we fight until the other person admits they are a turtle bastard."
It would naturally be best if Xu Sanshi's Soul Power could be sealed to the same level as his before fighting. This way, he could basically abuse Senior as he pleased.
This should be more satisfying than fighting normally. Today, he absolutely had to give Xu Sanshi a good beating to vent his anger.
"You kid sure hold a grudge," Xuan Lao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shi Yu's request.
"If Senior had really killed that Soul Beast at the time, I might never have found a suitable Soul Beast for my second Soul Ring again. Xuan Lao should be clearer than me about the rarity of Space attribute Soul Beasts."
"And also clearer about how big the difference in amplification for a Soul Master is between Soul Rings that don't match the attribute and those that do."
"I have never actively provoked Senior, yet I have been treated like this by Senior. It's hard for me not to hold a grudge," Shi Yu said frankly, not hiding his dislike for Xu Sanshi.
"Isn't your constant pestering of Nannan actively provoking me?" Xu Sanshi said angrily.
"My interactions with Jiang Nan Nan are our own business. She has the right to say I'm pestering her, but you don't."
"Her attitude towards me is that of a friend, her attitude towards you is that of someone being pestered. What face do you have to say I'm pestering her, and what face do you have to chase me away for her?" Shi Yu looked directly at Xu Sanshi, speaking with a tough attitude.
"Jiang Nannan's attitude towards Shi Yu is indeed that of a good friend, while she is relatively cold towards Xu Sanshi, even quite repulsed," Zhang Lexuan spoke up at the right time, testifying for Shi Yu.
This wasn't her being biased towards Shi Yu, but an objective fact. Anyone who spent a few days with them could come to this conclusion.
"That's not pestering, Nannan is my future wife, what's wrong with me sticking to her?" Xu Sanshi said stubbornly.
"So the conflict arose because of a girl," Xuan Lao had the expression of a spectator watching a show.
"Regardless of what caused your conflict, resolve it with a fight."
"You guys have a spar. Regardless of who wins or loses, after the spar, let the grievances disappear and don't dwell on them anymore, how about it?" Xuan Lao said.
"I have no problem," Shi Yu said.
"I have a problem, can I just fight Shi Yu normally?" Xu Sanshi said.
"Are you even serious saying that?" Xuan Lao was a bit disdainful of Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi was quite thick-skinned: "My strength was cultivated through normal training. There's nothing to be embarrassed about using my real strength."
"If my Soul Power level is suppressed, that would be unfair to me."
"Your skin is really thick," Xuan Lao was amused by Xu Sanshi.
"Since Senior doesn't want his Soul Power to be suppressed, then don't suppress it. We'll have a fair fight, and at that time, each will rely on their own abilities," Shi Yu was also too lazy to argue with Xu Sanshi.
"Are you sure?" Xuan Lao confirmed with Shi Yu.
"Sure," Shi Yu nodded.
Xuan Lao couldn't help but look forward to it and nodded, saying: "In that case, you two will fight normally, until someone says they are a turtle bastard."
Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi had no objections. Their eyes met, and there seemed to be lightning flashing between their gazes.
Half an hour later, in the arena within the school specifically for students to spar.
After the news of the spar between Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi spread, many Outer Courtyard students rushed over upon hearing the news to watch the excitement.
These two could both be considered well-known figures in the Outer Courtyard.
Xu Sanshi goes without saying, one of the top geniuses of the Outer Courtyard, known as the Twin Stars of the Outer Courtyard along with Bei Bei, showing how high his strength and talent were.
Shi Yu became famous entirely because of Xu Sanshi, playing with a Soul Grandmaster at only level ten-something, which made him famous in one battle.
Coupled with the display of his Soul Bone, this gained him a lot of attention in the Outer Courtyard. Even older students knew his name.
"How did this Xu Sanshi get into another challenge with that Shi Yu?" Tang Ya, with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, found Bei Bei and asked curiously as soon as they met.
Bei Bei was helpless and explained the further grievances between Shi Yu and Xu Sanshi.
