Tang San Stared Dumbfounded

After graduating from Notting Academy, Huo Feng specially bought some things and returned to the village.

Naturally, his purpose was to visit Old Jack.

To thank him for the care and support he had given him before.

When the latter heard that Huo Feng was going to study at a more advanced Soul Master Academy, he was overjoyed, his grin nearly reaching the back of his head.

Now, which of those old geezers from the surrounding villages would dare strut around and show off in front of him?

Huo Feng only stayed home for one day.

After all, aside from Old Jack, there was nothing else in Holy Spirit Village worth remembering.

Before leaving, Huo Feng secretly slipped ten Gold Soul Coins to Old Jack.

Amid the latter's stunned gaze, he left the village.

"We've finally reached Suotuo City."

Looking at the dazzling array of shops lining both sides of the road, Xiao Wu's face was filled with curiosity.

When she learned that Huo Feng was going to an academy called "Shrek," she immediately said she wanted to come along.

Even though the academy did not even have a ranking, she did not care in the slightest.

As the second-largest city in the Balak Kingdom, Suotuo City was countless times bigger than Notting City.

Crowds bustled endlessly through the streets, patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere, and the place was exceptionally lively.

"This place looks pretty fun. Let's play around for two days?"

Pouting her red lips, Xiao Wu asked tentatively.

Huo Feng waved his hand indifferently. "Whatever."

There was still a week before Shrek Academy's entrance examination anyway.

Moreover, according to the original timeline, Tang San should have arrived in Suotuo City around noon today.

Huo Feng had arrived half a day early, naturally because he had his own plans.

Tang San would definitely clash with Dai Mubai then.

And Tang San, who was only a level twenty-five Soul Grandmaster now, was no match for the latter at all.

He would probably be beaten half to death. When the time came, Huo Feng would conveniently appear out of nowhere. As "friends" from the same village and the same academy,

Huo Feng naturally had an obligation to stand up for Tang San.

Then, he could conveniently sacrifice Dai Mubai without anyone noticing.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was the strongest.

If he took care of him before going to the academy, dealing with the remaining four would be much easier.

Meanwhile, fifty li outside Suotuo City, Tang San was riding in a carriage toward the city.

He did not quite understand why his teacher insisted on sending him to this Shrek Academy, which did not even have a ranking.

But since his teacher was so insistent, there had to be a reason.

Ever since obtaining his second Soul Ring, Tang San had become utterly obedient to Yu Xiaogang.

If Yu Xiaogang told him to go west, he would never go east.

About four hours later, Tang San finally arrived in Suotuo City.

It was just past noon, and the blazing sun hung overhead.

The sunlight shone on his face, making sweat pour nonstop from Tang San's forehead.

He ate something simple, then began looking for a place to stay.

After traveling such a long distance, he was exhausted from the journey.

When he saw a particularly unique-looking hotel, Tang San suddenly stopped.

The hotel was not very large, only three stories high.

What caught the eye was that the entire hotel was shaped like a rose, making it especially striking.

For some reason, Tang San always felt an inexplicable affinity with this hotel.

"I'm only stopping to rest anyway."

With that thought, Tang San stepped inside.

The hotel lobby was filled with the fragrant scent of roses, refreshing the senses.

Both its decorations and style exuded an intensely suggestive atmosphere.

"Hello, please get me a room."

Tang San walked up to the counter and spoke to the attendant.

"Oh, you came at just the right time!"

"We only have one room left."

As the attendant spoke to Tang San, he kept glancing outside the lobby.

Those who came to the Rose Hotel generally arrived in pairs, one man and one woman.

Guests like Tang San, staying alone, were truly rare.

"Alright, then please book that room for me."

Tang San nodded.

He guessed it was probably just the attendant's sales pitch, meant to emphasize how scarce the hotel's rooms were.

"Sure!"

The attendant readily agreed and prepared to handle the check-in.

"Hey, wait. I'd say that room should belong to me, shouldn't it?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the lobby.

Tang San turned around and saw that a man and two women had entered the hotel at some point.

The two girls were dressed extravagantly and had tall, slender figures. They were half a head taller than Tang San, and looked to be around eighteen years old.

Most astonishingly, the two women had identical faces.

They were an exquisite pair of twins! One stood on each side, linking arms with the man in the middle as they swayed forward.

The strong perfume wafting from their bodies completely overwhelmed the rose fragrance in the hotel.

Tang San could smell it from far away.

However, his attention was fixed on the man in the middle.

The man was around 1.8 meters tall and appeared to be only three or four years older than Tang San.

He was exceptionally handsome, with long golden hair draped down his back.

His gaze toward Tang San was filled with disdain.

"Double pupils."

Tang San murmured inwardly.

When he met the man's gaze just now, he inexplicably felt a bone-chilling cold.

"This person is strong."

With just a single glance, Tang San felt tremendous pressure.

By his judgment, this man's strength was no weaker than his own, perhaps even slightly stronger.

But with the Mysterious Heaven Skill having already broken through to the second level, along with the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, Tang San was confident he could fight him.

"Are you new here? Don't you know that there should always be a room reserved for me?"

Dai Mubai ignored Tang San completely and walked straight to the counter.

"Call your manager out."

Dai Mubai spoke calmly. The moment the attendant met his gaze, his hairs stood on end.

He hurried off to call the manager.

"Hello, it seems I arrived first, didn't I?"

At Notting Academy, Tang San had been suppressed by Huo Feng and Xiao Wu for a full six years.

He had been bottling up his frustration all along.

He had not expected to be treated this way just trying to book a hotel room.

He could no longer endure it.

"And? What are you trying to say?"

Dai Mubai did not even turn his head, merely responding coldly.

He had never been in the habit of explaining himself to anyone.

"I'll ** your **!"

Being ignored so completely, Tang San finally snapped and blurted out, "Nothing much. Get lost!"

"Very good!"

Upon hearing those words, Dai Mubai finally turned around.

His demonic eyes radiated a cold aura as they settled on Tang San.

"Looks like you're a Soul Master too. Make your move."

There was no unnecessary nonsense.

"White Tiger, possess!"

The instant the words fell, Dai Mubai directly released his Martial Soul.

Three shining Soul Rings rose beneath his feet in succession.

A surging pressure instantly swept toward Tang San like a tidal wave.

Tang San staggered, nearly unable to keep his footing.

Tang San stared dumbfounded. He even felt a trace of fear.

Two yellow, one purple! A Thousand Year Soul Ring!

And he was a Beast Martial Soul Battle Soul Grandmaster!
