Peerless: Everyone's Transmigrated, Who's Still Going to Be Tang San's Son-in-Law?

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

After a special technique, a golden thread, thinner than a hair, slowly emerged from Xu Sanshi's body.

With a look of disgust, Beibei wiped her hands, pinched the end of the gold thread, and gently tugged. The thread popped out and quickly shrank into a tiny gold grain the size of a millet seed. With a flick of her wrist, she retracted it.

"My dear, your Xiaoya threw it in such a tricky spot! If it had been even a fraction off, I would have been in big trouble..."

Xu Sanshi let out a long sigh of relief.

"Beibei, you're taking advantage of my vulnerability. You know how precious the Mystic Water Pill is. Here's the deal: if I win this battle, you give me back the Mystic Water Pill."

Although the Xuan Shui Pill was for Huo Yuhao, they had fought more than once. Over the years, they had fought back and forth, and sooner or later Bei Bei would be able to win a Xuan Shui Pill back.

Isn't this how Tang Ya got all those Xuan Shui Dan pills over the years?

Beibei chuckled lightly, "What if you lose?"

Xu Sanshi snorted and said, "I'll give you a thousand gold soul coins."

Beibei shook her head and said, "No, the Xuan Shui Pill is worth more than a thousand gold soul coins. I won't bet with you on something that's not fair."

Xu Sanshi angrily said, "I only have this much money. If you don't agree, I'm going to turn on you."

Beibei sighed softly, "Do you think I'm short of money? Fine, I'll give you a chance. I know you still have Xuan Shui Pills, just take one out and gamble."

"Why do I have a feeling you're trying to get another Mystic Water Pill from me?"

Xu Sanshi looked at Bei Bei with suspicion. This guy seemed refined and easy-going, but he was actually quite wicked. His current behavior clearly indicated that he was digging a hole for himself.

But what makes Beibei so confident that she can beat him?

Beibei still had a gentle smile on her face. "You were the one who suggested the bet, not me. You can choose not to bet. And don't whine if you lose."

Xu Sanshi snorted.

"I'll lose? While I might not be able to beat you, it won't be easy for you to beat me either. What if we end up in a draw?"

Beibei wasn't fooled: "Let's just go home like before. Hurry up, don't dawdle like a woman."

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, "Fine, I'll bet with you. You bastard, you might not be stronger than me, but you're incredibly cunning. I guess I've fallen for your trick again. I'll just accept it. I'll just go home next time and argue with my dad."

Within the Soul Fighting Zone, more and more students gradually gathered here. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi have always been quite famous in the academy.

Moreover, one is known as the strongest offensive class in the outer academy, and the other is known as the strongest defensive class. The clash between the strongest spear and the strongest shield is also an attractive topic.

Now that the two have reappeared on the Soul Battle Stage to compete again, it has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Nearly three months have passed since their last battle. How much have their strengths improved in these three months? Will they end up evenly matched like last time?

"Teacher Xiaoya, this is my roommate Wang Dong. Wang Dong, this is Tang Ya, our senior."

In the audience, seeing that Wang Dong had also come to watch the excitement and was even sitting next to him, he could only help introduce them.

Wang Dong nodded to Tang Ya in acknowledgment, then continued to look towards the Soul Battle Arena.

Tang Ya was very enthusiastic, smiling broadly as she said, "What a handsome little boy! I like him. How about you, Xiao Yuhao, try to persuade him to join our Tang Clan?"

Upon hearing the words "Tang Clan," Wang Dong's body trembled slightly, and he asked in surprise, "You're from the Tang Clan?"

Tang Ya nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, now there are only three of us in the Tang Clan. I am the current leader of the Tang Clan. How about that? Aren't you shocked? Come on, the Tang Clan welcomes you."

She was just saying it casually. Wang Dong's essence was restrained and his soul power was solid. It was obvious that the cultivation method he practiced was extraordinary. He was obviously a member of a great family. Why would he condescend to join the declining Tang Clan?

She said this more to promote the Tang Clan among the scions of powerful families, hoping that a collaboration might be possible.

However, to Tang Ya's surprise, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang Dong actually nodded to her and said, "Alright! I've long heard of the wonders of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons. Sect Leader Tang, I wish to join the Tang Clan. Please accept me."

"Huh? You really want to join our Tang Clan? We only have three people left in the Tang Clan now." Tang Ya was taken aback, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at Wang Dong.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was mainly after Shrek Academy's admission without examination, and since he was all alone, it was normal for him to join the Tang Sect.

But Wang Dong looks like he comes from a prominent family, so why would he join the Tang Clan?

Wang Dong nodded seriously and said, "I hope to join the Tang Clan and learn hidden weapons."

Tang Ya was also unsure whether Wang Dong had ulterior motives for joining the Tang Clan, but the Tang Clan couldn't afford to offend a member of a powerful family right now. She could only stall for time and ask Bei Bei's opinion later. However, she also had to show that she valued him highly...

Tang Ya's expression turned serious: "I'll think about this and have Yuhao give you an answer later."

While they were talking, Beibei walked into the arena from the rest room. As soon as he appeared, some of the students watching from the sidelines started calling his name.

Beibei smiled and waved to the students watching from the sidelines, but her eyes were searching the stands.

Tang Ya stood up and waved to Bei Bei. Only then did Bei Bei notice where they were. Because of the distance, they couldn't hear each other talking, so he made a few hand gestures to Tang Ya.

The two had been together for quite some time, and Tang Ya immediately responded with a few hand gestures to indicate that she understood before sitting down again.

"Xiao Yuhao, what is the maximum range of your shared mental detection?" Tang Ya whispered in Huo Yuhao's ear.

Huo Yuhao really didn't know this; he'd been too busy lately and had forgotten to test it.

"It can cover a diameter of about fifty meters," Huo Yuhao said, activating his soul power to use his mental detection.

"Let me see... If we're only going in one direction, it's about eighty meters. Why are you asking this, Ms. Xiaoya?"

Strangely enough, my mental detection range seems to be farther than Huo Gua's in the original story?

If the soul power levels are the same... then the difference lies in mental power?

Is my current mental strength even stronger than Huo Gua's at this point in the original story?

Unfortunately, there isn't even an accurate classification of mental power levels yet, let alone a specific numerical level. Huo Yuhao doesn't even have the means to study it.

There seems to be so much to do, but I have to put it off until next year. This year, I must focus all my efforts on improving my soul power level.

"It's nothing. If the situation gets deadlocked later, just quietly use your soul skill to assist Beibei, understand?"

Regarding the price of the Xuan Shui Pill, the original novel doesn't provide specific figures. It only states that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi believe it's worth more than a thousand gold soul coins, though their tone suggests it's not significantly more. Wang Dong, however, describes it as worth ten thousand gold coins. The author speculates that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's price is similar to cost price or internal pricing, while Wang Dong's refers to the auction price. After all, pills that improve a soul master's cultivation aptitude are certainly in high demand outside the sect. However, forces cooperating with the Xuan Shui Sect wouldn't get a very high price directly from the source. The isolated Haotian Sect primarily obtains information about the Xuan Shui Pill from auction houses and similar venues.
