Capítulo 379: Tang San VS Huo Wu (3)
"Silly girl, don't cry! Big brother is fine."
Tang San was going to raise his hand to rub Xiao Wu's head, but discovered his arm wouldn't rise for some reason.
Actually, when he faced Huo Wu he didn't have any intention of winning this fight. In what is called 'leaving a way out', he had already defeated six people, Shrek Academy would definitely be the final victors of this ranking match, so why would he need to exterminate them to the last? It might be pleasurable to defeat seven alone, but that would also entail branding both sides with hatred. He didn't wish for that.
After all, he didn't hold any malice towards Blazing Academy.
Therefore, Tang San originally only planned to waste as much of Huo Wu's spirit power as he could, leaving the end of the match for the next person going up to handle. But who could have thought that Huo Wu would target him so fiercely, with this being the end result.
When Dai Mubai helped Tang San up, revealing his back, the Shrek Academy group drew a cold breath practically simultaneously.
The clothes on Tang San's back were already in pieces, full of badly mangled flesh and blood, in some places even the bone beneath was visible. Even his arms were already dyed red with blood, hanging limply by his sides.
What kind of pain was this? But Tang San's face still held an unperturbed smile, as if this pain was nothing to him. Only the sweat beading on his forehead told people that he was injured.
Huo Wu's white ball of light had even greater attack power than Tang San had imagined. If not for Eight Spider Lances, if not for his body being forged in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, even if he didn't die this time, he would still at least have been seriously injured.
But even though his injuries were ghastly to look at, they were nothing more than some flesh wounds. His bones and internal organs hadn't suffered too much harm.
By now the referee was a walking over, calling out for medical staff to treat Tang San while declaring Huo Wu the victor of this fight.
Before Shrek Academy's second team member appeared, Huo Wu had already declared that she conceded the next match. Whether her exhausted spirit power or the state of the heart, she no longer had neither the will nor ability to keep fighting.
Right now the Shrek Academy group couldn't spare a thought to hate Huo Wu, their only concern was Tang San's safety.
Tang San was carried out lying face down on a stretcher, this was the true end of this match. Even though Tang San hadn't made too great of a show in the last fight, his previous six fights had long ago conquered everyone.
Moreover, had he truly lost the last fight?
He could completely have used Huo Wu's body to shield himself from the attack. With his control strength, he would only have needed to infuse her body with some of his spirit power, letting that white ball of light detonate in Huo Wu. There wouldn't have been any danger to him, and it wouldn't even have been against the rules.
After all, that terrifying attack was used by Huo Wu, not Tang San.
"Will my ge really be alright?"
In the barracks, Xiao Wu looked with concern at the Heaven Dou Imperial court doctor.
The doctor was a forty something woman, and by appearances she should have been a beauty in her youth. She smiled calmly at Xiao Wu, saying:
"Little miss, this is already the seventeenth time you've asked me the same question. Don't worry. Your big brother won't have any major issues, only his skin and flesh was injured. His bones are intact and internal organs protected. Truly strange. The flexibility of his muscles is at least three times that of ordinary Spirit Masters, how did he train to become like this? Right now he's only lost a bit of blood, he needs to rest a while. He will be able to move as usual in at most five days. However. It's best if you don't let him participate in any more matches in this ranking competition. Otherwise there's a chance the wounds would be torn open."
"Thank you, auntie doctor."
The doctor smiled calmly, picking up her medical box:
"Alright, you take care of him properly, I'll leave first."
Seeing the doctor out, Xiao Wu's expression finally relaxed somewhat. Right now Tang San was already deep asleep.
Watching his still deathly pale face, bursts of heartache like daggers in her heart attacked Xiao Wu. She would prefer she was the one injured rather than seeing Tang San wounded like this!
Grandmaster waved his hand to the Shrek Academy group in the room, saying:
"Alright, the rest of you all go rest. There's still a match tomorrow. Let's leave Xiao Wu to look after Tang San here."
Everyone moved to quietly leave the room. As long as Tang San was alright, they were also at ease.
Inside the room, only Xiao Wu, Grandmaster and Tang San remained. Grandmaster looked at Tang San who lay on his stomach in the bed, deep asleep, and said with a slight smile:
"Little San really did the right thing."
Xiao Wu raised her head, puzzled looking at Grandmaster,
"Grandmaster, are you still saying he did the right thing? He could clearly have let that Huo Wu take the attack."
Grandmaster sighed, saying:
"What little San did was for the sake of the Academy's reputation, and also for your future. First of all, the five elemental academies are like siblings. If he had truly defeated seven of the Blazing Academy singlehandedly, then he would inevitably have roused the anger of the other three academies. And this hatred would also bear considerable fruit. Second, if he had really used Huo Wu's body to block that attack, Huo Wu would definitely have died. Huo Wu is the genius of a generation to Blazing Academy, if she died, first let alone any powers behind her back, the reprisals from Blazing Academy alone would have deluged us in trouble. Tang San wanted to see that even less. You're all students, there's no deep hatred or great regret, therefore he chose this conclusion. I believe that when little San used his body to block the attack he had certainly already calculated his endurance and the opponent's attack power."
Grandmaster had always regarded Tang San as his own child. Seeing Tang San injured, how couldn't he feel regretful?
But Grandmaster was always an intellectual, as soon as he knew Tang San wasn't in any grave danger, his reason immediately took the fore, and simple analysis allowed him to confirm Tang San's actions. Of course, this didn't mean he didn't care about Tang San's injuries.
Xiao Wu sighed lightly, and didn't say anything else. What she thought in her heart right now was that as long as Tang San was alright, nothing else mattered.
Just at this time, Dai Mubai's ice cold voice suddenly resounded from outside,
"What are you doing here? Get out."
"We came to see Tang San, and to express out thanks."
The voice belonged to Huo Wushuang. Hearing this voice, Xiao Wu couldn't help frowning.
Outside the barracks, not only had Huo Wushuang come, but the full seven people of Blazing Academy's main force were here, including the still pale Huo Wu.
They had calmed down after the end of the match. Huo Wushuang couldn't help a burst of lingering fear. He of course had also seen his little sister's danger in the match, and if not for Tang San being lenient, he wouldn't have a little sister.
Even though Blazing Academy had lost in disgrace, only winning one fight, not only didn't Huo Wushuang hate Tang San, but was on the contrary extremely thankful. Compared to any achievements in the tournament, his little sister's life was clearly much more important.
And Huo Wu's position in Blazing Academy was as central as the moon amidst the stars, so the other team members felt about the same. After returning to the camp, Huo Wushuang had immediately proposed they go see Tang San.
Dai Mubai's ice cold gaze swept across them,
"No need for fake grief like cats weeping over dead mice. Tang San still isn't dead."
Huo Wushuang frowned,
"Dai Mubai, don't be excessive. I came to see Tang San. To express my gratitude to him for letting off my little sister. It wasn't to see you. Get out of the way."
By now, hearing the voices, apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, the other four Shrek Seven Devils had also come over. Just like Dai Mubai, they didn't have any favorable impression of the Blazing Academy that caused Tang San such injuries. The four of them plus the four substitutes, eight people stood in a line, blocking the Blazing Academy's path.
"Get out of here immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
The double pupils in Dai Mubai's evil eyes were converging, clearly he was already almost unable to suppress his anger.
Currently, the Blazing Academy seven main force members had just participated in the ranking competition, and they had all consumed their spirit power to some extent. If it really came to a fight they wouldn't get off easy. Moreover, they originally came here to express their good will.
"I came to thank Tang San:"
The moment Huo Wushuang was about to erupt, Huo Wu suddenly stepped out, her pale charming face without any trace of irritability, instead it had become very serene. Her beautiful eyes held even more pondering and calm depth, like a changed person.
"No need. My ge is already asleep. Leave. Don't disturb his rest."
Xiao Wu stepped out of the room, staring icily at Huo Wu.
Even though Tang San's injuries had been caused by him using his body to cover for her, the originator of all evil was still Huo Wu. Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't have any good impression of this woman whose looks didn't lose to her.
Huo Wu looked at Xiao Wu moving out of the barracks, nodded and said:
"Then sorry for the disturbance. Once he's a bit better, I'll come express my gratitude again."
Xiao Wu declined without the slightest hesitation:
"No need. We're opponents in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
These words were equivalent to her pointing out that the two sides weren't friends.
Blazing Academy's people had just left when someone else came.
The arrival of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe was, on the surface, to represent the organizational committee to ask about Tang San's injuries. But in fact, Tang San wasn't the only person to be injured so far in the tournament, but only he had gotten this kind of attention.
After making certain Tang San wasn't in any grave danger, the two exchanged a few words with Grandmaster, then left. The barracks also finally quieted down.
