Chapter 163: Tang San Loses to Bai Chenxiang, Tang Hao Wants to Form an In-Law Relationship with Ning Fengzhi?!

"I lost?"
"I actually lost?!"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Tang San's eyes immediately revealed an expression of immense shock.

He actually lost in speed?

His Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step is the highest martial art of the Tang Sect, yet Bai Chenxiang didn't even use her soul skills.

He actually couldn't catch up to her? Why?!

Just as Tang San was bewildered and shocked, Ma Hongjun suddenly spoke up from the side, "Wait a minute, this isn't fair!"

Tang San, upon hearing this, looked somewhat dazed.

Bai Chenxiang turned to Ma Hongjun's annoying chubby face and said bluntly, "What's unfair about it?"

"Yeah, what's fair about it!"

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms, looking displeased as she also glared at Ma Hongjun. "You were the ones who suggested a speed comparison, it's not like we forced you."

"Clearly, you haven't practiced enough. Do you have to blame us for that?"

Ma Hongjun narrowed his eyes into slits and said, "You set the rules yourselves. Bai Chenxiang clearly excels in linear acceleration."

"Our Little San's agility focuses more on flexible evasion, completely different from your style."

"If it were a different kind of competition, you would undoubtedly lose!"

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Tang San's eyes lit up.

Exactly.

Ma Hongjun was right.

Compared to an ordinary person, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step was indeed much faster.

But in terms of linear acceleration, there were indeed shortcomings.

And judging by Bai Chenxiang's speed just now, she was definitely superior in linear acceleration.

If their competition area was divided into a small space, then the ultimate winner would undoubtedly be her.

So, losing to her just now was completely because the rules of the competition were flawed!

"Hmph! According to your meaning, am I intentionally biased?"

The indifferent voice of Sword Douluo suddenly descended from the sky, and his figure appeared in front of Tang San and Ma Hongjun at the same time.

He looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "Losing is losing!"

"Since the challenge was initiated by you, you should be prepared to lose."

Tang San clenched his fists and looked at Sword Douluo, saying, "Sword Douluo, I feel that the rules of the competition just now were unfair to me. If we were to..."

Before Tang San could finish speaking, Sword Douluo interrupted him, "Where in this world is there true fairness?"

Sword Douluo's sharp gaze pierced Tang San, "A few days ago, in the battle between the Spirit Hall and us, they almost emptied their forces in Tian Dou Imperial City, attempting to overwhelm you with numerical superiority."

"At that time, could you talk about fairness with the Spirit hall?"

"When your father was hunted down by numerous experts from the Hall of Souls, do you think they would talk about fairness with your father?"

Sword Douluo's words left Tang San speechless.

He didn't even have the slightest inclination to argue.

Ma Hongjun was even more intimidated by the faint sword intent emanating from Sword Douluo, so he could only keep silent.

"A real man should honor his commitments when he loses."

"Today's failure will become the wealth of your future."

Sword Douluo said, "If you're unwilling, we won't force you, it's up to you."

With that said, Sword Douluo disappeared from the scene, leaving Tang San standing there in embarrassment.

Tang San turned to look at his father, Tang Hao, and found that the latter's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"Tang Hao, although Little San lost to Chenxiang this time, it's indeed as that chubby kid said."

"The advantage on a straight line is beyond his reach, but his agility is indeed quite good."

Bai He said, "Why don't we change the compensation method? Let Little San teach Chenxiang this set of footwork, and we'll forget about the bowing, what do you think?"

Bai He had a sharp eye for Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, realizing its extraordinary nature at a glance.

This kind of footwork is most suitable for their sensitive clan members to use as scouts.

Tang Hao nodded slightly as he listened to Bai He's words.

Immediately, they called the two over and explained the situation.

"What? Grandpa Bai, aren't you favoring them too much?"

Ning Rongrong, upon hearing Tang Hao and Bai He's words, felt a little unhappy. "Just because of a scroll of martial arts, you want to withdraw the bet? I still want to see him bow to us."

Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on Tang San, making him feel extremely ashamed.

He absolutely wouldn't want to bow to Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang like this.

In Tang San's heart, only elders and those who had greatly helped him deserved his bow.

As for teaching his footwork to Bai Chenxiang, since the reward would also bring her back to Haotian Sect, she would be considered family then, and it wouldn't hurt to teach her.

Bai He stroked his beard and smiled, "You little girl, you can't see the subtleties in Tang San's footwork, that's why you said that."

"To exchange such excellent footwork for a simple bow, that's what Chenxiang gained." Ning Rongrong showed a somewhat incredulous expression. "Really? I don't believe it."

Bai He chuckled softly. "You can ask Sword Douluo about it. With his discerning eyes, he should also be able to see the extraordinary nature of Tang San's footwork."

With that, Bai He looked at Bai Chenxiang again and said, "Chenxiang, since it's like this, consider it giving your Uncle Tang Hao some face and stop making things difficult for your cousin."

Seeing her grandfather speak like this, Bai Chenxiang didn't say anything more and could only nod in agreement.

Soon after, Tang San personally copied a scroll of martial arts for Bai Chenxiang and also pointed out some essentials of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to her.

Before long, she was already able to display some essence of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step!

"Amazing!"

Ning Rongrong saw how different Bai Chenxiang's footwork was compared to before, becoming more agile and elegant, seemingly inscrutable. She immediately widened her small mouth, showing her astonishment.

Tang San was also surprised to see Bai Chenxiang quickly grasp the essence of his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step.

Back then, he had spent a lot of effort learning this technique.

Yet, Bai Chenxiang actually learned it in less than half an hour!

"Chenxiang indeed has talent." Tang Hao watched Bai Chenxiang's movements for a while and praised her.

Bai He heard her nephew's praise for her granddaughter and smiled, "To receive praise from you, a Title Douluo, it seems that my granddaughter is indeed exceptionally talented."

Before long, Bai Chenxiang had already withdrawn from the state of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step. She looked at Tang San and said, "Since you've taught me the footwork, we're even now."

Tang San nodded.

But in his eyes, there was still a flame of refusal burning.

Today, he had suffered humiliation and had to resort to Tang Sect's martial arts to regain his dignity.

This made him even more aware of the importance of improving his strength.

One day, he would personally regain his face from Bai Chenxiang!

"Wait a minute, your bet with Chenxiang is over, what about me?"

Ning Rongrong, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke up. "We agreed just now that I also have a share."

There was a hint of cunning in Ning Rongrong's eyes. "How about teaching me your footwork too?"

"That's a good idea."

Before Tang San could speak, Ning Fengzhi had already brought Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo over to everyone.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, you know, as auxiliary soul masters, what we lack most is self-defense ability."

"If you can teach my daughter Rongrong the footwork you just showed, her ability to protect herself in the face of the Hall of Souls or other enemies in the future will greatly increase."

"So, I also hope that you can teach her that mysterious footwork soul skill."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang Hao and Bai He, smiling, "Of course, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School won't take your self-created soul skill for nothing."

"In addition to canceling the previous bet, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can also give Tang San some herbs to help him improve his cultivation speed."

"Haotian Douluo, what do you think?"

During Tang San's competition with Bai Chenxiang just now, Ning Fengzhi, who had been on the attic side all the time, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, had seen the movements of the two.

Naturally, they had heard about Bai Chenxiang's martial soul and speed.

But for Tang San's footwork, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were obviously surprised.

They hadn't expected a twelve-year-old boy to have such a self-created soul skill.

Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed to take down this soul skill.

This soul skill was not only important for control and agility-type soul masters but also vital for auxiliary soul masters to save their lives.

"This..." Tang San was caught in a dilemma.

Bai Chenxiang could still become a member of his Haotian School, and even join his Tang Sect in the future.

But, Ning Rongrong was a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If Ning Rongrong were a woman married into his Haotian School, it wouldn't hurt to teach her.

However, as an outsider, Tang San was unwilling to teach her the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Tang San's thoughts were the same as Tang Hao's.

Bai Chenxiang was still half of their family.

If he taught the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to Ning Rongrong, it was difficult to guarantee that she wouldn't teach it to people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This powerful martial art, if they couldn't monopolize it in the Haotian School, wouldn't that be a loss?

However, it seemed like he suddenly thought of something.

His gaze fell on Ning Rongrong.

"Forgive me, Lord Ning, but this self-created soul technique is a secret of our Haotian Sect, and ordinary outsiders don't have the qualifications to learn our self-created soul techniques."

Tang Hao's words deeply resonated with Tang San.

Ning Fengzhi heard Tang Hao's words and sensed the refusal in them. He narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Does Haotian Douluo mean to refuse?"

Tang Hao shook his head, "No, Lord Ning, what I mean is, actually, our relationship can go further."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly blanked out, somewhat puzzled.

Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong behind him didn't understand what he meant.

Tang San was also equally puzzled by the hidden meaning in his father's words.

Tang Hao smiled and said, "I think, your daughter would be a good match for my son. How about you and I become in-laws?"
