Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon Egg, Personally Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

After returning to their group, Oscar and Ma Hongjun both looked at Xiao Wu and voiced the doubts in their hearts.

"Mm, I didn't recognize him last time. He's actually from my hometown, sort of a childhood companion..." Xiao Wu nodded and casually made up an excuse.

"Xiao Wu, that guy isn't a good person. Don't ever associate with him again."

Tang San walked over with a dark expression, looking as though he were badly constipated. He was clearly feeling miserable.

"Hmph, Third Brother, you're just petty. So what if you got beaten up once? If you've got the guts, challenge him to a duel. If you win, I'll cut ties with him." Xiao Wu gave a light snort and shot Tang San a rather disdainful glance.

Tang San: ...

"Little San, what's the matter with that boy? Do you have a grudge against him?" At that moment, Yu Xiaogang walked over and asked the question on his mind.

Why did he feel that the boy had some unclear relationship with Xiao Wu? And Tang San's hostility toward that boy was immense.

Since it concerned Tang San, Yu Xiaogang naturally paid more attention to it.

"Master, Ye Feng is the boy I mentioned with the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring." Ning Rongrong stepped forward and interjected.

"What?! It's him!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with shock upon hearing that.

Deep down, he had never believed it. He had kept numbing himself and ignoring the matter, but he had not expected... to meet the real person so soon...

The other party was simply too young.

If he had been around twenty, Yu Xiaogang might have believed that he was truly the legendary possessor of Twin Martial Souls.

But he looked only thirteen or fourteen. There was no way he could be a Soul King or stronger...

If someone could already be a Soul King in their teens, then what was Yu Xiaogang, still only level 29 after several decades?

At that moment, even Yu Xiaogang's resolve was wavering, and he even felt a trace of jealousy.

"Let's go draw lots first. Maybe we'll run into Ye Feng. Then Master, you'll be able to see Ye Feng's strength for yourself." Xiao Wu smiled.

The others said nothing after hearing that, each harboring their own thoughts.

For instance, Ning Rongrong's gaze kept drifting toward Ye Feng as she quietly assessed him.

After all, she had quite a few thoughts about Ye Feng herself. Such a powerful young man was not only handsome, but also strong. He could be said to be the most perfect man in her heart, exceptionally suitable to become the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's live-in son-in-law.

It was just that Star Dou Forest had been too dangerous last time, so she had not had the chance to get to know him better.

This time, he had come directly to Suotuo City. She felt that she still had a chance.

It would be best if they could get acquainted first. As for getting to know each other more deeply, that could naturally come slowly afterward. Affection grew over time...

Her figure might not compare to Zhu Zhuqing's, and her legs might not be as long as Xiao Wu's, but her looks were absolutely top-tier. She believed she was inferior to no one.

Winning over a boy around her own age should not be too difficult...

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze also unconsciously fell on Ye Feng.

After all, Ye Feng was the only one present who was pleasing to her eyes. Everyone else was ugly trash.

Besides, she did not believe that Ye Feng possessed Twin Martial Souls. Instead, she was more inclined to believe that he had some method that allowed him to obtain Soul Rings beyond his level.

If she had the chance, she wanted to ask whether that method could be replicated for her.

After all, her purpose in coming to the Heaven Dou Empire was to grow stronger. That useless ugly piece of trash Dai Mubai could no longer be relied upon. The only person she could depend on was herself.

The combat area here was for one-on-one battles at the Soul Elder level, so only Tang San and Dai Mubai could participate.

Soon, Tang San finished drawing lots, and everyone hurriedly gathered around...

However, when they saw the opponent Tang San had drawn, every one of them wore strange expressions.

Because Tang San's opponent was Ye Feng.

"No way, what a coincidence..."

"Little San, your luck is terrible. You actually drew that monster?"

Everyone mourned silently for Tang San.

After all, Ye Feng's strength was well known. They had personally witnessed Tang San getting brutally beaten by Ye Feng last time.

Now that Tang San had drawn Ye Feng, defeat was naturally inevitable.

Well, Xiao Wu had really called it.

"Hmph, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Last time, I was only a Soul Grandmaster, but now I've advanced to Soul Elder. With Master's training on top of that, my strength is already nothing like before. Why do you all have so little faith in me?"

Tang San snorted, immediately growing somewhat dissatisfied.

He had only been careless last time. He had not even used his strongest Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

This time, he had made thorough preparations. With the poison of the Eight Spider Lances combined with his hidden weapons, there was no way he could lose!

It was the perfect chance to wash away his shame!

Godly Zhuge Crossbow Shows Its Might?

"Yes, that is the conviction a Soul Master should have."

Yu Xiaogang nodded approvingly. "Losing once isn't scary. You can always win it back. As his companions, you should have faith in Little San!"

Yu Xiaogang said this naturally because he had great confidence in his own teaching methods.

He had also heard about Tang San's previous battle. Based on his analysis, Tang San had been weaker than his opponent, but the main reason for his miserable defeat was that he had been too careless and underestimated the other party.

This time, Tang San had learned his lesson. Even if he could not win, he definitely would not lose too badly...

"For the next match, Golden Dragon Battle Soul Master Ye Feng versus Blue Silver Grass Battle Soul Master Tang San!"

Soon, the announcer's voice rang out.

Because the name Star Ancestral Dragon sounded too pretentious, and Ye Feng's martial soul was still too weak to develop into its complete Star Ancestral Dragon form, he had simply registered it as Golden Dragon.

Even so, the announcement immediately drew countless gazes.

"A Golden Dragon martial soul? A dragon-type martial soul? That's truly rare!"

"Hehe, I never thought trash like Blue Silver Grass could enter this place to fight. How strange."

"You must be new here. That Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, Tang San, has never lost a match at the Soul Grandmaster level. That kid's methods are strange. Ordinary Soul Masters really aren't his match."

"Tch, no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than a dragon-type beast martial soul?"

"That's true..."

Hardly anyone usually watched these one-on-one matches, but Ye Feng's dragon-type martial soul drew quite a few Soul Masters over.

On the Soul Fighting Platform, Ye Feng and Tang San had already stepped onto the stage.

Blue Silver Grass coiled around Tang San as fighting intent surged from him.

Ye Feng also released his martial soul and Soul Rings.

The instant his two purple and one black Soul Rings appeared, the nearly hundred Soul Masters in the spectator stands of that section fell completely silent. The entire venue seemed frozen in time, falling quiet for a brief instant.

The next moment, the whole venue erupted!

"Holy shit, what am I seeing? Thousand-Year... Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skills!"

"What kind of monster is this kid? He's only a Soul Elder, so how can he possess a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill?!"

"My first Soul Ring only gave me a ten-year Soul Skill, but his is already a thousand-year one! His second Soul Ring is too! Isn't this bullying?"

"An illusion! This must be an illusion! Maybe his Soul Skill can change the colors of his Soul Rings, and he's deliberately deceiving us!"

"Yes, that has to be it!"

The surrounding Soul Masters nearly had their convictions shattered upon seeing this. They simply could not believe their eyes.

Although Suotuo City was a major city, most Soul Masters were unaffiliated and had no backing. Only one in ten had a hundred-year first Soul Ring. Most had ten-year first Soul Rings, hundred-year second Soul Rings, and very few possessed Thousand-Year Soul Skills.

Yet now, they had not only seen a young man whose first Soul Ring gave him a Thousand-Year Soul Skill, but whose third Soul Ring was an even more terrifying Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill!

The gap was simply too great. Anyone would feel mentally unbalanced after seeing it.

"Damn it... How did he get stronger again?!"

Tang San's expression abruptly changed as he felt the terrifying pressure radiating from Ye Feng.

He had fought Ye Feng before. Compared with last time, he could clearly tell that Ye Feng had grown stronger yet again, and not by just a little!

Tang San had grown so quickly only because he had acquired an External Soul Bone, a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and undergone Yu Xiaogang's "devil training" under the world's greatest theory master.

Ye Feng was still a Soul Elder, so why did it seem as though his strength had improved even faster than Tang San's?

Still, despite his shock, Tang San had lived two lives and quickly calmed down.

This time, he had learned his lesson. He immediately took his strongest hidden weapon—the Godly Zhuge Crossbow—from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!

Last time, he had been careless and had not had the chance to use the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, which was why Ye Feng had pinned him down and brutally beaten him.

This time, he had gotten smarter. He would not hide anything. From the very beginning, he would go all out and use his ultimate move directly.

"What is that thing in that kid's hand? Isn't his martial soul Blue Silver Grass?"

"That looks like a crossbow? Is he stupid, using a crossbow against a Soul Master?"

"That crossbow looks strange. Why is it different from the ones I've seen...?"

The spectators below all wore puzzled expressions.

After all, Soul Master battles had always relied on martial souls. Ordinary weapons had truly limited lethality against Soul Masters.

Even with bows and arrows, Soul Masters' reactions were too fast for them to be hit.

To forsake one's martial soul and rely on external tools in battle was completely putting the cart before the horse in the eyes of other Soul Masters.

"Hmph! What a bunch of ignorant fools. How can Tang Sect hidden weapons be compared to ordinary weapons?" Tang San snorted disdainfully in his heart.

The next moment, he did not hesitate and pulled the trigger directly at Ye Feng.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow specialized in piercing Soul Power defenses, and Tang San had coated it with his strongest poison.

However, killing was forbidden in the combat area, so Tang San did not aim at Ye Feng's head. Instead, he aimed for his abdomen, the hardest place to evade.

As long as it so much as scratched Ye Feng's skin, Tang San was confident he could take him down.

Whoosh—

The instant Tang San pulled the trigger, the crossbow bolt shot out like a flash. Its speed was so fast that it crossed more than thirty meters in the blink of an eye and appeared before Ye Feng.

Everything had happened too quickly. Even the Soul Masters below had not reacted.

There was no way an ordinary Soul Master could dodge that speed!

However, just as everyone thought Ye Feng would be struck by the arrow, something completely unexpected happened...

The extremely fast bolt seemed to be pulled by some kind of force as it neared Ye Feng. Its trajectory shifted slightly, and it passed directly by him before stabbing fiercely into the energy barrier behind the Soul Fighting Platform.

Its tremendous force actually pierced straight through the energy barrier!

"Holy shit!"

The entire venue erupted once more.

The watching Soul Masters all sucked in sharp breaths.

Generally speaking, the barrier on every Soul Fighting Platform was one major rank stronger than the competitors. For Soul Elder-level battles, the platform's barrier had the strength of a Soul Ancestor.

The crossbow in Tang San's hand looked utterly ordinary, yet no one had expected it to unleash power comparable to a Soul Ancestor. It was simply terrifying.

And its bolts flew dozens of times faster than ordinary crossbow bolts. Even a Soul Ancestor would probably be unable to react in time!

If that had hit someone in the head...

Hiss! Terrifying indeed!

Of course, what astonished them even more was that such a terrifying crossbow bolt had somehow missed...

Not only were the spectators stunned, but Tang San himself was also dumbfounded.

He had never imagined that Ye Feng could use some unknown method to alter the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's trajectory. That was simply absurd!
