Chapter 72: It's so cool to defeat someone without using your Spirit!
Hearing this, Tang San paused slightly, looked up at the Night Market not far away, and still kept the purpose of his trip in mind, saying softly:
"Xiao Wu, we came out tonight for business. When we have time later, I'll definitely come and play with you, okay?"
Xiao Wu immediately pouted, frowned in grievance, and complained:
"Ever since we came to Shrek Academy, we've either been studying and training or participating in soul duels. We haven't had a chance to play at all."
"Oh, Third Brother, maybe that golden-haired woman is in the Night Market."
"We've been looking for a long time, maybe she came out to go shopping? Besides... we're all girls, who doesn't like to go out and play?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San was stunned. He looked down at Xiao Wu's stubborn yet lively eyes and pondered silently.
Yes, if the golden-haired girl who injured the fatty was around Xiao Wu's age, she might also appear in such a lively place.
After all, a bustling Night Market is always irresistible to girls.
Thinking of this, Tang San reached out and scratched Xiao Wu's nose, nodded, and said:
"You have a point. Let's go take a look then."
"Yay!"
Xiao Wu immediately cheered happily and ran towards the Night Market with light steps.
Following that, Tang San and Xiao Wu entered the Night Market one after another.
The surrounding area was brightly lit, and people were bustling.
However, not long after entering the Night Market, Tang San frowned slightly, feeling that the crowd was surging everywhere, noise everywhere, and all he could see were swaying figures, making it difficult to discern anything clearly.
"Why are there so many people?"
His eyes narrowed, Tang San's mind stirred, and he immediately activated his Purple Demon Eye. A purple glow flashed in his eyes, and everything around him instantly became clear and transparent.
In just a few seconds, his gaze fixed on a pair of figures not far away.
He saw a golden-haired girl slowly moving through the crowd, her figure graceful, her demeanor cold and proud. Beside him was a young man in blue, wearing a bamboo hat.
"Xiao Wu, I found them." Tang San's expression changed, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice.
"What?" Hearing this, Xiao Wu, who was standing in front of a string of candied hawthorns, hesitating whether to buy them, immediately put her hands on her hips and said indignantly: "Where?!"
"Over there, come on, hurry! Let's go take a look!"
Tang San's eyes remained fixed, and he spoke in a low, urgent tone.
With that, he pulled Xiao Wu and quickly moved towards the east side of the Night Market.
...
A moment later, on the east side of the Night Market.
The crowd, illuminated by the lights, flowed endlessly, and the noise rose and fell.
"How about I give you this?"
In front of an exquisite stall, Xiao Ruier was choosing a crystal-clear sachet, smiling as she handed it to Tang Chuan beside her.
However, at this moment, her movements suddenly paused, her expression changed slightly, and she slowly looked up towards the other side of the crowd. She saw a pair of young people behind the crowd not far away, staring coldly at her and Tang Chuan across the bustling street, their eyes calm and sharp. It was Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"I didn't expect them to find us so quickly."
The next instant, Xiao Ruier frowned slightly, a cold smile imperceptibly curving her lips, and then she turned to Tang Chuan and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm, they came quite fast."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan's gaze darkened slightly, and he also looked towards Tang San and Xiao Wu, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.
In the crowd, Xiao Wu immediately spotted the golden-haired girl.
However, with just one glance, her face suddenly changed drastically.
"This... how... how is this possible?"
Xiao Wu, who had originally been a bit angry and arrogant, now looked as if she had seen a ghost, her face turning pale, her eyes filled with deep terror, and she quickly shrank behind Tang San, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, even her body trembling slightly.
Tang San noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality, frowned, and turned to look at her:
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu tried to compose herself, but her voice trembled slightly: "N-nothing..."
But her appearance in no way suggested that nothing was wrong.
A hint of doubt flashed in Tang San's eyes, but before he could press further, Xiao Wu had already clutched his sleeve tightly, seemingly trying her best to hide herself from the people opposite.
At the same time, on Xiao Ruier's side.
Her originally faint smile showed little change when her gaze swept over Tang San, but when her eyes slowly fell on Xiao Wu beside Tang San, they suddenly narrowed.
"Huh?"
Her eyes sharpened, Xiao Ruier leaned forward slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The next second, a ripple had already stirred in her heart.
"A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit... Hehe, you're really audacious, daring to sneak into the human world alone without even knowing how to hide your aura."
"Maybe one day, you'll become the spirit ring and Spirit Bone of the person next to you." Xiao Ruier thought to herself, looking at Xiao Wu not far away.
At the same time, her eyes suddenly became colder, and her gaze towards Xiao Wu was like a hunter staring at prey, with undisguised disdain and mockery.
Seeing Xiao Wu's frightened and retreating appearance, Tang San mistakenly thought she was afraid of the two people opposite. His eyes darkened slightly, and then he took out a flare from his arms and handed it to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, go release the flare."
"I'll go hold them off first. As long as Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Teacher Zhao arrive, with our numbers, they definitely won't be able to defeat us. Don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu bit her lip, her eyes flickered, and she finally nodded silently. Her fingers still trembled slightly as she took the flare.
Taking a deep breath, Tang San didn't hesitate at all. His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stomped on the ground, his entire body like Gui Mei, sweeping into the crowd.
With just a flash.
He had already arrived not far in front of the golden-haired girl and the blue-clothed young man.
It was then that he finally saw their faces clearly.
The girl had dazzling golden hair, like glowing amber under the bright lights.
And the blue-clothed young man beside her, wearing a bamboo hat, stood steadily, his aura restrained. Although his eyes were completely obscured by the bamboo hat, a sharp edge that was hard to ignore faintly emanated from them.
"Strange, why does this person give me such a familiar feeling?"
After a moment of silence, Tang San stopped thinking about it and then raised his hand to point at Xiao Ruier and Tang Chuan, slowly saying: "Was it you who injured someone from my Shrek Academy?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ruier glanced at Tang San with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, then her lips curved slightly, revealing a lazy smile:
"It was me who hit him, what about it?"
"But you need to first clarify whether it was those two men from your Shrek Academy who made the first move? They looked like they needed a lesson. I was just helping them learn a bit."
As soon as her words fell, a golden light flashed in Xiao Ruier's eyes, but just as she was about to take a step, a fair hand suddenly appeared in front of her, stopping her firmly.
"Leave the rest to me!" Tang Chuan stepped forward and said indifferently.
Xiao Ruier raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she just snorted and retreated to the side, yet she still stood with her arms crossed, her eyes full of Battle Intent, staring at Tang San.
Suddenly!
"Boom--"
In the night sky, a brilliantly green firework suddenly exploded.
Its form vaguely displayed the unique monster totem of Shrek Academy.
"Xiao Wu has already released the flare, I just need to hold them off." Tang San's expression shifted slightly, he looked back, and thought to himself.
At the same time, several streets away, on a dark, dilapidated eaves, a tall figure slowly stood up.
His build was astonishingly robust, his shoulders as broad as a tiger's, his muscles bulging, his thick beard trembling slightly in the night wind, and he had a pair of large eyes like bronze bells.
"Oh? Has that woman been found?"
Looking up at the fireworks exploding in the sky, Zhao Wujie's lips curled into a cold, battle-hungry smile.
"How powerful can a four-ring Soul Sect be? Hehe! But today, I can once again learn from that person how to hit people without using a Spirit... So satisfying!"
With that, he leaped from the rooftop and quickly headed towards the source of the signal.
