Hearing Xiao Yu's disdainful sneer, Tai Long, who was standing with his arms crossed, looked visibly angry.
Although what he said was true, the existence of their Power Clan was somewhat special, and it wasn't impossible for them to defeat stronger opponents despite being weaker.
"Hmph, kid, the fact that you can say such things proves that you don't truly understand the peculiarities of the soul master world. Although my soul power is inferior to hers, in a real fight, she might not necessarily win against me! In our Power Clan, it has always been possible to defeat the strong despite being weak! My grandfather said that with my current strength, I'm not even weaker than an ordinary Soul Ancestor!"
Tai Long spoke with full confidence, his arms still crossed.
The surrounding students, upon hearing Tai Long's words, couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.
Many had heard of the peculiarities of the Power Clan, but they hadn't expected it to be this extraordinary.
A Soul Elder versus a Soul Ancestor? That's a difference of an entire soul ring!!
That's not just crossing levels; that's crossing entire tiers!
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Tai Long's expression became even more boastful.
He was already starting to look down on everyone with his nose in the air.
However, just as everyone was still in shock, Xiao Yu's sneer rang out.
"Ridiculous. If your Power Clan was really that powerful, why would you be holed up in a corner of Heaven Dou City, forging iron and barely surviving? If you were truly that strong, how could you have been ruthlessly abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect? If you were truly that powerful, how could you have become a subordinate sect of the Clear Sky Sect? If you were really that strong, logically, your clan should have a place among the Lower Four Sects! You're spouting such nonsense. Those who know, know that your clan's martial soul is the Great Strength Ape. Those who don't know might think your martial soul is the Titan Giant Ape! How can you be so confident?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tai Long's face turned extremely gloomy.
His words naturally contained exaggerations and loopholes.
Although his strength could rival a Soul Ancestor, in a real fight, he would definitely lose.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have only said half of what he did, leaving the rest for others to infer.
But he hadn't expected this guy to directly point it out.
And as Xiao Yu said, if only their martial soul was the Titan Giant Ape.
"Enough, kid. Since you dare to look down on our Power Clan's martial soul, I assume your strength must be quite impressive. How about this? If you have the ability, let's fight and see who's stronger. If you win, I'll apologize. If I win, you leave this beauty alone. How about that?"
Hearing Tai Long's words, Xiao Yu sneered.
"Ridiculous. If you win, I leave my girlfriend, but if I win, you just apologize? You really know how to play the odds, don't you?"
Hearing his plan being exposed, Tai Long felt a wave of helplessness.
"Then how about this? Whoever loses has to shout 'I am a pig' three times here. How about that?"
Tai Long quickly changed his tone.
"Fine. I'm quite looking forward to seeing you release your Great Strength Ape martial soul and shout 'I am a pig'!"
Xiao Yu sneered.
Although Xiao Yu didn't like such bets, when someone's schemes were thrown in his face, if he didn't react at all, what difference was there between him and a waste?!
Wasn't it all for the sake of his beloved?!
If his woman was being targeted by someone, shouldn't he drive that person away?
After saying this, Tai Long immediately walked outside.
Xiao Yu handed the food to Dugu Yan and then followed.
As for whether Xiao Yu could defeat Tai Long, Dugu Yan wasn't worried at all.
"Hurry back, the food is getting cold!"
"Don't worry, a mere Soul Elder is nothing. I'll finish this quickly and make sure the food is still hot when we eat!"
Xiao Yu smiled.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tai Long, who was walking ahead, clenched his fists in anger.
How much did this guy look down on him to think he could defeat him before the food got cold?
But now, words were useless. It was time to let their skills do the talking!
"Tai Long, martial soul Great Strength Ape, Level 31 Power Attack System Soul Elder!"
After shouting this, the two yellow and one purple soul rings at Tai Long's feet began to shine.
"Xiao Yu, martial soul Wo Long, Level 28 Power Attack System Soul Master!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Tai Long was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha!! What the hell?! I thought you were so amazing, but you're just a Great Soul Master!! This is hilarious..."
Before Tai Long could finish laughing, he saw two unusual purple soul rings flash at Xiao Yu's feet.
Along with the appearance of the soul rings, a massive dragon-lizard, nearly three meters long, appeared beside Xiao Yu, exuding a fierce aura.
Seeing this, Tai Long was shocked.
His previously mocking face now showed an expression of utter disbelief.
He had wanted to mock Xiao Yu for wanting to lose quickly so he could go back to eat.
But after seeing this, he couldn't utter a single mocking word.
And it wasn't just Tai Long.
The onlookers who were watching the battle also gaped at the two purple soul rings at Xiao Yu's feet.
Some even dropped their chicken legs in shock.
At this moment, the noisy cafeteria entrance fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Thousand-year soul rings weren't uncommon, but thousand-year first and second soul rings? They hadn't even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it. The soul ring age system had been deeply ingrained in people's minds for a long time.
"Come on, I'll let you make the first move!"
Xiao Yu didn't care about the gazes of the others. He simply beckoned to Tai Long with a look of disdain.
"You... I..."
Seeing this, Tai Long was furious, but he was also momentarily intimidated.
Even though his soul power was stronger than Xiao Yu's, he didn't dare to make a move.
"Roar!!"
Seeing Tai Long hesitate, Xiao Yu's Wo Long let out a disdainful roar.
Then, it turned its back to Tai Long and let out a fart.
"Pfft"
In the dead silence of the surroundings, Wo Long's fart, though not physically damaging, was extremely insulting.
The surrounding people wanted to laugh, but due to Tai Long's status as the son of the Power Clan's leader, they could only suppress their laughter, their faces turning red.
Seeing this, Tai Long's face turned a deep shade of purple.
He had actually been disrespected by a martial soul.
"Damn you! So what if your first and second rings are thousand-year ones? I don't believe you can cross tiers like our Power Clan!!"
In a fit of rage, Tai Long activated his first, second, and third soul rings and attacked with full force.
Provoked by Wo Long's fart, Tai Long had completely lost his rationality.
In response, Xiao Yu smiled indifferently.
He didn't even feel the need to use his soul skills.
"Cross-tier combat? To deal with you, I don't even need to fight you."
Without waiting for Xiao Yu's command, the Wo Long beside him stood up and stretched lazily.
Then, it let out a roar.
"Roar!!!"
