Tang San was stunned. He never expected to suddenly become unable to move.
The Immobilization Talisman could freeze someone for three seconds. In the blink of an eye, three seconds was enough to do many things.
Chen Qingling, with quick hands, released the Light Butterfly Blade.
Just as it was about to hit, at the critical moment, Tang San felt he could move. He only had time to turn around.
Slash.
The Light Butterfly Blade, for the second time, sliced Tang San's backside, causing the work-study students in the dormitory to burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Are you guys trying to kill me with laughter? This seems to be the second time!"
"Tang San is really unlucky. Once might be a fluke, but a second time? I doubt there'll be a third!"
"If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to show my face, wishing I could just hide under my blanket."
Tang San's face turned dark. This was the second time, for crying out loud! Did his backside have some deep-seated grudge against him?
With the situation as it was, Tang San lost the will to continue fighting. "I lost."
At the same time, he was enraged and pointed at Chen Qingling, roaring like a beast.
"You're too despicable just to win!"
"You used power that doesn't belong to you! You cheated!"
Chen Qingling shrugged, dropping the pretense and revealing the truth.
"That's true, it's not my power, but it is one of my methods."
"Just like how you used a sharp weapon to sneak attack me at the beginning of our duel."
"This is not comparable. Let's take things one by one," Tang San argued stubbornly, trying to prove that he hadn't lost, but rather that Chen Qingling had cheated to win.
"You…"
Before Chen Qingling could speak, Xiao Wu was the first to get upset. She scolded him, "Tang San, can you stop being so hypocritical?"
"You can sneak attack someone with a sharp weapon, but you won't let Sister Qingling use a method to control you?"
"Don't be too extreme. We might need to see each other again in the future."
Wang Sheng nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Exactly! Why can you do it, but Sister Qingling can't?"
"I hate it when people stand on the highest moral ground to judge others."
"Tang San, you truly disgust me. How can someone be so hypocritical?"
Seeing that the situation was turning against him, Tang San suppressed his anger and obediently shut his mouth.
He couldn't win an argument, and he couldn't win a fight either. Tang San felt incredibly frustrated.
He didn't understand how Chen Qingling had such novel methods. She was hiding her capabilities very well!
A truly qualified schemer.
Tang San gave Chen Qingling one last look and turned to go into the restroom to change his pants.
He was just a work-study student with very little money, and now he had already torn two pairs of pants. If he tore another, he'd have nothing to wear.
Thinking about it was embarrassing enough.
With that thought, Tang San couldn't help but resent Chen Qingling.
She had such a good face, yet she was so detestable!
In reality, it was entirely Tang San's own fault. What did it have to do with Chen Qingling?
He was just looking for an excuse to comfort himself.
What kind of person he was probably didn't need further description.
Outside the restroom, Chen Qingling shook her head helplessly. "We're all work-study students from the same dormitory. If I say anything too harsh, it'll be difficult to get along later."
"Sister Qingling, Tang San is a complete scoundrel. It's only because you have a good heart that you're dealing with him."
"Anyone else would have thoroughly cursed Tang San out by now. What a piece of work."
"Exactly! Exactly!"
"Sister Qingling, you say it's difficult to get along? Then there's no need to get along at all. It's no wonder Tang San is always alone; there's a reason for it."
"Right, right, right. Wang Sheng, you couldn't be more right." Xiao Wu readily agreed with Wang Sheng's statement.
Every word was directed at someone, and every word hit its mark.
Tang San, inside the restroom, heard everything clearly. A flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Wang Sheng, you are already on the path to your own demise! As for Xiao Wu…
For some reason, Tang San had a good impression of Xiao Wu and couldn't bring himself to hate her.
He had already made himself out to be a complete scoundrel in Xiao Wu's eyes.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
No!
He had to find a way to change Xiao Wu's fixed impression of him! Tang San thought to himself.
At the same time, everything that happened in the academy was observed by Tang Hao, who was hidden in the shadows.
He shook his head and sighed, "Little San, Little San, you're still too young and impetuous, unable to stay calm."
"To lose to the same person twice, and it's a woman."
"But this time she actually used a method I've never seen before, actually able to immobilize for three seconds."
"Three seconds…"
Tang Hao's expression shifted. If he had possessed such a thing back then, perhaps he could have safely taken Ah Yin away.
"Alas!"
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, Chen Qingling's Soul Power Level had progressed rapidly, and she had already become a level nineteen Soul Master.
She was only one level away from being ready to obtain her second Soul Ring.
One day, Chen Qingling was lying on the bed with Xiao Wu as usual.
Just then, Wang Sheng pushed open the dormitory door and rushed in breathlessly.
"Hoo hoo hoo…"
"Qingling… Sister Qingling, Sister Xiao Wu…" Wang Sheng gasped for air.
"Wang Sheng, slow down and tell us."
"Today… is Nuoding Academy's annual Soul Master Duel."
"Sister Qingling, Sister Xiao Wu, do you want to participate? You can't miss it!"
Xiao Wu looked at Chen Qingling, "Sister Qingling, are you going to participate?"
"It's possible. Soul Master Duels are beneficial for improving combat experience. I hope it can help me raise my Soul Power Level by another rank." Chen Qingling agreed, and Xiao Wu would naturally go with her.
"Okay, we'll participate."
Wang Sheng grinned, "I knew Sister Qingling and Sister Xiao Wu would participate, so I registered you in advance."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she patted Wang Sheng's arm, "Wang Sheng, you're really something."
"Heh, it's my honor, Wang Sheng, to be able to help Sister Qingling and Sister Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu, are you participating? Then I will too."
In the dormitory, Tang San, upon hearing that they wanted to participate in the annual Soul Master Duel, also wanted to join.
When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San was participating in the Soul Master Duel because of her, she looked disgusted, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Tang San.
"Tang San, are you ever going to stop? I've already said it, it's absolutely impossible between us, why do you insist on persisting like this."
After a month of persistent nagging, Tang San failed to change Xiao Wu's ingrained impression of him; instead, it made her dislike him even more.
Tang San gritted his teeth, he didn't know why he was so pathetic.
Despite being rejected so many times, he still shamelessly persisted, as if he wouldn't rest until he won Xiao Wu over.
"Xiao Wu, I…"
Tang San lowered his head, unsure how to speak.
Wang Sheng crossed his arms, sneering at Tang San, "Tang San, Tang San, I realize your skin is truly thick. Sister Xiao Wu has rejected you so many times, and you're still not giving up."
Tang San shot Wang Sheng a cold glance, "What business is it of yours."
"It's not your place to interrupt when I'm talking to Xiao Wu."
