Chapter 48: Beating Tang San Black and Blue; Xu Yan Prepares to Make a Getaway! [Seeking Collection, Reader Retention, and Recommendation Tickets]

Tang San let out a furious roar, and a multitude of vines whipped through the air, entangling toward his target.
Xu Yan circulated the Sacred Heart Art, filling the surrounding air with biting frost. Countless ice cones transformed into glacial blades that shot straight up into the clouds, piercing through the firmament itself.
"Ten Thousand Blades Piercing the Clouds!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As those vines closed in, they were instantly frozen solid by the icy blades, turning into rows of frosty sculptures.
When a flash of lightning surged through the air, the sculptures shattered completely into fine powder.
Employing the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San had already shifted to another position.
"Humph," he sneered, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"
The vines suddenly expanded in front of Xu Yan like sharp, thorny barbs.
However, using the Seven Absolutes Nirvana to dissolve his body into particle form, Xu Yan easily dodged the attack.
Tang San had already witnessed this particular ability of Xu Yan's, so he felt no surprise.
Activating his Purple Demon Eye, he scanned the area to predict the exact spot where Xu Yan would reappear.
Just as Xu Yan condensed back into his physical form, a massive cage materialized around him.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage!"
The moment Xu Yan's feet touched the ground, he found himself trapped.
Looking at the surrounding Blue Silver Cage, Xu Yan's expression remained calm.
However, the paralyzing poison of the Blue Silver Grass had already seeped into his body.
"It's over! Go to hell!"
Seeing Tang San hurl a hidden weapon directly at him, Xu Yan instantly unleashed his soul rings.
Ninety-nine purple soul rings flared brilliantly, illuminating the entire heaven and earth.
As Tang San threw his hidden weapon, his eyes widened in sheer astonishment.
Through the piercing light that his Purple Demon Eye could normally withstand, he clearly perceived what Xu Yan was doing.
Xu Yan cupped a purple fruit in his palm and swallowed it whole.
This purple fruit possessed powerful detoxifying properties; while not entirely absolute, it boasted a ninety percent success rate.
Combined with the sheer majesty of releasing ninety-nine soul rings simultaneously, the detoxification effect was amplified exponentially.
In the next instant, he activated the Tenseigan.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Boom!
A colossal tornado with devastating suction power erupted, violently shattering the Blue Silver Cage.
Even the hidden weapon was blown wildly off course.
With a single sweep of his hand, Xu Yan magnetically drew one of the deflected hidden weapons, suspending it right before him and aiming it squarely at Tang San.

"Insigificant tricks, playing your axe before Lu Ban!"
The hidden weapon shot back toward Tang San like a streak of light.
Moving at blinding speed, Tang San prepared to dodge, only to hear Xu Yan chuckle softly: "Heavenly Hand Power!"
With a shifting of his ocular jutsu, Xu Yan swapped positions with the hidden weapon, instantly appearing right in front of Tang San.
Even with the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San failed to track the movement in time.
"Let me teach you a proper lesson."
Just as Tang San attempted to execute a soul skill, Xu Yan unleashed a crushing wave of spiritual energy.
Thud, thud!
Tang San's mind reeled. Not only did he feel the physical impact of the mental shockwave, but despite his own spiritual counter-attack, a pair of rippling, water-patterned eyes suddenly materialized in the depths of his consciousness, fixing their gaze upon him and briefly paralyzing his very soul.
Xu Yan drove a heavy fist straight into the right side of Tang San's face.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed out, and Tang San let out a stifled grunt.
His body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ground.
Boom!
The earth caved in, and Tang San tumbled over and over across the dirt several times.
Yet, his consciousness remained clear.
Sensing Xu Yan reappearing behind him with terrifying speed, Tang San immediately reacted.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
His figure blurred, accelerating once more.
Xu Yan gestured with one hand: "Almighty Push—no, Universal Pull!"
Tang San's momentum stalled abruptly, his body losing all control as he was forcefully reeled in toward Xu Yan.
"Damn it, I can't move!" Tang San thought in panic.
Before he could devise a method to neutralize the crisis, another devastating blow struck him squarely in the back.
Bang!
With a muffled impact, Tang San absorbed the full brunt of the force, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Following that, suspended helplessly in mid-air unable to land, Tang San was batted back and forth by Xu Yan like a volleyball in a brutal onslaught.
With a final, earth-shattering blow, he was driven straight down into the earth.
Rumble!
Tang San plummeted from the sky, smashing a gargantuan crater into the ground.
As dust and smoke billowed into the air, Xu Yan utilized the Byakugan to inspect the scene, discovering that Tang San's mouth was stained with blood, his appearance thoroughly disheveled, covered in dust and grime, and completely knocked out.
Xu Yan turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu on the other side.
Seeing that Tang San was thoroughly unconscious, Xu Yan conjured another purple fruit and handed it to Xiao Wu to dispel her lingering toxins.
Xiao Wu blinked her eyes open hazily. Catching sight of Xu Yan standing before her, she hurriedly sat up and asked, "Yuhao, are you alright?"

Xu Yan replied, "I'm fine."
"Hurry up and lift the charm technique on Zhu Zhuqing," Xu Yan said, gesturing toward Zhu Zhuqing not far away.
Only then did Xiao Wu nod, walking over to release the charm technique so Zhu Zhuqing could move freely once more.
Regaining her consciousness, Zhu Zhuqing felt as though she had been in a prolonged trance. Her pretty face flushed bright crimson; when she looked at Xu Yan, her gaze darted away shyly, feeling rather embarrassed.
"What should we do with Tang San?" Xiao Wu asked, glancing toward the distant, unconscious boy. "Is he going to be alright?"
"He just tried to attack you, and you're still worried whether he lives or dies?" Xu Yan asked with a helpless sigh.
In truth, he could easily have killed Tang San right then and there, but he had no desire to end him so prematurely.
After all, killing him now would ruin all the fun.
Xiao Wu nodded tardily, remarking, "Well, just killing him outright might not be the best idea."
"Don't worry, he's not dead," Xu Yan said. "Are you really not concerned about him?"
"Why should I be concerned about him?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise. "The only person I care about right now is you, Yuhao. You have to believe me, the one I love is you."
"Alright then, let's head back and get some rest," Xu Yan said.
Both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Xu Yan used the Byakugan to thoroughly scan the surrounding perimeter.
That old fox Tang Hao might pop out at any given moment.
However, after a complete sweep yielded no suspicious presence whatsoever, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to depart.
This was Shrek Academy after all; even if Tang San slept right out in the open here, he wouldn't face any mortal danger.
Thus, Xu Yan took Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu by their delicate hands and strolled away.
This trip to Shrek Academy could be considered a complete success; every fence he had set out to tear down had been successfully dismantled.
Even if he couldn't completely dissolve the Shrek Seven Monsters, he had already won the love of Jiang Zhu, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and even the mature beauty Liu Erlong.
Especially Liu Erlong—they had already crossed that ultimate boundary.
If Yu Xiaogang were to ever find out about this, he'd probably cough up blood in rage!
"You made Bibi Dong heartbroken, so I'll make sure you end up with absolutely nothing left."
Upon returning, both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were reluctant to part with him, and Xiao Wu even tried to invite herself to share Xu Yan's bed.
She was sternly rejected by Xu Yan in the end. Having only just fought a grueling, hour-long battle with Liu Erlong, even with his exceptional stamina, a man still needed to practice moderation.
He promised her they could talk about it tomorrow night instead.
However, after savagely beating Tang San, whether he would still be breathing or even remaining at Shrek Academy tomorrow was entirely up in the air.
If that old man of his showed up, Xu Yan knew he had better make a hasty escape.
With his current strength, he still couldn't take on Tang Hao head-on.
After all, the man was Clear Sky Douro, the youngest Titled Douro in the history of the Douros Continent, a truly legendary figure.
If he couldn't beat him, he could always rely on the Somersault Cloud to make a clean getaway.
