He Was a Twin Martial Souls User!

The leader clenched his hand, forcibly suppressing the tingling numbness in it. Gripping his curved blade, he charged at Chu Fan again.

Once, twice—although he and his brothers coordinated perfectly, every time they were about to touch Chu Fan, he evaded flawlessly. For a time, neither side gained any advantage.

"Seventh!" the leader shouted, looking toward Seventh, their Support Type member.

Seventh understood at once.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Berserk!" As a Support Type Soul Master, Seventh unleashed his strongest enhancement Soul Skill.

Berserk increased all attributes by fifteen percent, eliminated pain, and erased reason. Its drawback was that it consumed life force and carried severe side effects. After five minutes, the enhancement would vanish and all bodily functions would be lost.

In other words, each of the five of them would gain a fifteen percent increase in combat ability. Taken together, their overall strength would rise by a terrifying twenty-five percent. With such an increase, they would surely defeat Chu Fan.

"This is bad!" The moment Hu Liena heard the word Berserk, unease welled up within her. She knew that Berserk-type Soul Skills could push the body beyond its limits. Soul Masters with berserk abilities could often challenge opponents above their level.

"Big Brother, let's go all out." The other four gritted their teeth and accepted the Berserk enhancement.

At once, the muscles of those affected by Berserk swelled, and the Soul Power they had previously expended instantly returned to full.

The leader of the remnants wore a savage expression. "Kid, I admit that you're outstanding. If we let you grow, you'll surely become a Titled Douluo someday. But you don't have that chance anymore. After today, you'll cease to exist."

Berserk? Do they really think they're beasts now?

"Does this kid still have another trump card?" Hu Liena was filled with confusion when she heard his thoughts.

Chu Fan released his Soul Rings. The God Slaying Spear in his hand seemed to possess a soul of its own, its shaft trembling faintly as a dragon's roar accompanied its tip.

"Die!"

Chu Fan thrust his spear forward. In an instant, a streak of golden lightning pierced through the bodies of two Assault Type Soul Masters. Then he swept the spear sideways, and golden light spread outward like ripples across water. The Support Type Soul Master and Agile Attack Type Soul Master were hurled ten meters away, crashing viciously into the wall and smashing a gap into it. They instantly lost all signs of life.

Before anyone could react, Chu Fan raised his spear in an upward strike. The remaining men fell one after another, dropping as the spear rose. Even the leader of the remnants was sent flying several meters away, blood pouring from his mouth.

"He's too strong. I never expected Chu Fan to be this strong." Hu Liena's eyes widened as she clicked her tongue in amazement. In that moment, Chu Fan had seemed like a god descending to earth. The pressure and presence around him were unlike anything she had ever seen.

Just when Hu Liena thought it was over, the leader of the remnants crawled up from behind her and came to her back, pressing his curved blade tightly against her neck.

He knew there was only one way for him to survive: control Hu Liena and make Chu Fan hesitate out of fear of harming her, forcing him to obey. Enduring the excruciating pain, he had reached Hu Liena before Chu Fan could.

"Kid, if you don't want her to die, pick up your spear and cut off your own hands. Otherwise, you can collect her corpse," the leader of the remnants threatened.

Hu Liena knew Chu Fan had no options left. If she were not in the hands of the leader of the remnants, Chu Fan could have escaped alive with his strength. But now that he was being threatened with her life, there was nothing he could do.

If Chu Fan cuts off his hands to save me, then even if I survive, I'll spend the rest of my life drowning in guilt.

Hu Liena said anxiously, "Master, I have no regrets now that you came to save me. Promise me you won't listen to him."

The leader of the remnants covered Hu Liena's mouth, preventing her from speaking. "Kid, if you don't act now, prepare to collect her corpse."

Watching Hu Liena's anxious expression, Chu Fan slowly raised the spear in his hand. A cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh, really?"

"But the thing I hate most in this life is being threatened."

A chilling gleam burst from Chu Fan's eyes as he stared at the leader of the remnants.

Suddenly, golden light radiated from Chu Fan's body. As it flickered, the leader of the remnants felt something slice through his body. His hands went limp, and he could only watch as the curved blade slipped from his grasp. Terror filled his eyes. Before he could say anything, he collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed from his neck.

At the final moment, Chu Fan used the Soul Skill Divine Concealment and, at an astonishing speed, pierced through the leader of the remnants.

"Th-This..."

Hu Liena stared in shock. She had not seen how Chu Fan attacked at all. One second, he had been in front of her; the next, he was already behind her. She had only seen such speed from Ghost Douluo.

After untying the ropes, Hu Liena immediately threw her arms around Chu Fan, tears spilling from her eyes.

Chu Fan said nothing. He stood still and let Hu Liena hold him, gently stroking her head with both hands. He knew that after narrowly surviving such a disaster, Hu Liena was overwhelmed by fear and unease. Right now, his embrace was the best medicine.

Only after a long while did Hu Liena slowly release him. She raised her head and looked at Chu Fan with reddened eyes. "Master, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."

Before Hu Liena could finish, Chu Fan placed a hand over her soft lips and interrupted her. "Silly girl, Master knows. I don't blame you."

"Let's go. It's time to head back," Chu Fan said, then brought Hu Liena back to Spirit Hall.

Inside Spirit Hall's main hall.

Bang! A cup shattered. Bibi Dong sat atop the main seat, cold fury flashing in her eyes as she said icily, "A mere Soul Ancestor dared to cause trouble in Spirit City. Chrysanthemum Pass, wipe out those remnants completely. This must never happen again."

Bibi Dong was truly enraged this time. Without Chu Fan, Hu Liena would undoubtedly have suffered a terrible fate. Bibi Dong was deeply fond of her disciple and would not allow anyone to harm someone she cared about. That was also why, although Yu Xiaogang opposed Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had still granted him the status of an elder. Once her reverse scale had been touched, Bibi Dong's fury naturally surged to the heavens.

"This subordinate will handle it at once." After saying that, Chrysanthemum Pass promptly left the hall.

Bibi Dong put away her angry expression and looked at Chu Fan with interest. "I heard from Nana that the other side had one Soul Ancestor and six Soul Elders. How did you manage to save Nana from those desperate criminals?"

So she's digging into my background. If I don't reveal something real today, I'm afraid I won't be able to fool her.

"Digging into your background? Fool her?" Hu Liena was completely baffled, her face full of confusion.

"Reporting to Your Holiness, I am actually a Twin Martial Souls user!"

"My second Martial Soul is a spear." As he spoke, Chu Fan released his God Slaying Spear.

Chu Fan used Myriad Transformations to conceal the aura of his God Slaying Spear. At this moment, the spear in his hand looked no different from an ordinary one.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were both immediately astonished.

"Twin Martial Souls! No wonder you were able to wipe them out so easily," Bibi Dong said.

Bibi Dong knew the power of Twin Martial Souls. She herself was one of the few Twin Martial Souls users on the Douluo Continent, so no one had more authority than her when it came to evaluating their strength.

Thinking of Chu Fan wielding the God Slaying Spear with such divine might, Hu Liena was full of admiration.

So this is his Martial Soul. No wonder he's so powerful.
