Just as the Bald Man was celebrating, a woman suddenly grabbed him and threw him out of the vehicle.
The Bald Man was dumbfounded. What the hell was this?
He had gone through countless tests to join this team. He had only just arrived, and they were already changing their minds?
The Bald Man angrily demanded an explanation.
The woman in the team stared at him coldly. "You know what you did. Yesterday, you provoked a young man. Do you remember?"
"What young man? I don't know him!" The Bald Man looked utterly confused.
But after thinking it over, he did recall having an unpleasant encounter with a young man yesterday.
But what did that have to do with the young man?
"Even if I offended him, so what? He's just a student. You have to give me an explanation, don't you?"
The Bald Man tried to argue.
The woman said disdainfully, "An explanation? Heh, you really are stupid. That young man is indeed a student, but he's also a Martial Soul User! If you hadn't had a grudge against him, he should have joined our team by now. You made our team lose a powerful fighter. The fact that our captain isn't demanding compensation from you is already giving you face. Get lost! Stop pestering us!"
"You're saying that young man... he's a Martial Soul User? How is that possible?" The Bald Man's face went blank, his fingers trembling.
He simply could not accept this fact.
He feared Martial Soul Users too. How could he possibly have provoked one?
But since they said so, did that mean the young man really was a Martial Soul User?
Damn it!
If the Bald Man had known that young man was a Martial Soul User, he would never have dared to offend him, even if it killed him.
"No, I want to see the captain! Captain—"
But the Bald Man did not want to leave the team. This was the most profitable team. He had spent a great deal of money improving his strength for this operation and had prepared for a long time. If he could not earn it back during this mission, all that time would have been wasted.
He chased after them.
"I told you to get lost! Can't you understand?"
The window rolled down, revealing Gong Shi's cold face. His glare made the Bald Man instinctively take a step back. He did not dare offend this captain in the slightest.
"Captain, I... my strength isn't inferior to a Martial Soul User's. I can take a smaller share this time. Please don't kick me out!"
The Bald Man gave in. He could earn less money, but he absolutely could not leave the team.
Gong Shi could not be bothered to respond as the vehicle continued onward.
The Bald Man kept chasing after it. Just then—
A wolf's howl rang out. A shadow slammed into the Bald Man's field of vision, and a sharp pain erupted in his chest as he was sent flying.
The rear window of the truck opened.
A young man stared coldly at the Bald Man lying on the ground. "You can't even withstand one move from me, and you dare compare yourself to a Martial Soul User? You overestimate yourself!"
A massive black Phantom Wolf flew back and merged into the young man's mind.
A Martial Soul?
The Bald Man cursed inwardly. He had only been bragging. Who would have thought there was a Martial Soul expert in the vehicle? The young man had not even left the vehicle, yet merely using his Martial Soul had already left him powerless to resist.
Fear filled his face. He did not dare approach.
He hurriedly scrambled away. If he did not leave now, that young man might kill him.
"Trash!"
The young man cast him a contemptuous glance.
"Heh, you've become so much stronger than before!"
Gong Shi was visibly shaken as well.
The young man neither confirmed nor denied it, merely raising his brows with an arrogant air.
His name was Guo Tao, a student of Wushen University who had worked with Gong Shi before.
"With the two of us joining forces this time, we'll definitely kill that demon beast!"
Gong Shi spoke very politely.
His tone was even somewhat flattering.
That was because Guo Tao was a student of Wushen University, someone high above them and not on the same level as them. His future prospects were limitless.
"Mm! I came here for it this time."
Guo Tao's eyes flickered. During their last collaboration, he had nearly been killed by a vicious beast. He had never forgotten that incident.
It was an Iron Bull, with a powerful body and the ability to unleash formidable sonic attacks. They had suffered greatly last time.
Now, he had returned to kill that Iron Bull.
To make up for his previous regret.
