Little Chick, Come Beat Me Up~

Yu Xiaowei sat beside the Crimson Gold Tiger and brought himself into peak condition.

During this time, he swallowed a large amount of tiger blood. Only then did the transparent holes in his abdomen heal.

The black Soul Ring seemed to answer a summons, transforming into a stream of black energy that flowed into Yu Xiaowei's body.

One yellow and two purple Soul Rings automatically emerged, but under the suppression of the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the once-brilliant rings dimmed.

Yu Xiaowei instantly felt as though his body were expanding. As the black current continued pouring in, that sensation grew stronger and stronger.

Yet his body itself showed no change. The expansion was merely a sensation and caused no actual harm.

Roar—!

A tiger's roar rang out in Yu Xiaowei's mind.

What followed was a tsunami-like mental assault.

However, compared to Black Tiger Douluo, that senior Star Luo agent, the Crimson Gold Tiger's soul tremor was clearly nothing worth mentioning.

Godzilla did not even need to roar before the mental assault ended.

Though this Crimson Gold Tiger possessed unmatched combat strength, nearly enough to rival a high-level Soul King,

it was only fifteen thousand years old. The soul tremor and Soul Power impact it brought had their limits.

Relying on his unconventional body, Yu Xiaowei absorbed the Soul Ring without much difficulty.

The exhaustion he had felt after the battle vanished without a trace.

In its place came an unprecedented sense of power. If that Crimson Gold Tiger appeared before him again, he felt he could smash its tiger head apart with a single punch.

His Soul Power had risen to Level 42.

This time, the Dragon Transformation affected his left arm.

As for the Crimson Gold Tiger Soul Ring's fourth soul skill, Yu Xiaowei pondered it for a while before his eyes suddenly lit up.

He summoned Martial Soul Possession, and his fourth Soul Ring blazed brightly. Godzilla's body, from its dorsal fin to its tail fin, was covered in a layer of golden radiance.

When an enemy was struck by a Tail Whip or Dorsal Fin slash in this enchantment-like state, a layer of Soul Power would gather over the wound, blocking all healing-type Soul Power. As long as Yu Xiaowei did not withdraw his Soul Power, the wound could not heal.

A divine skill that could be called a healer's nemesis.

Unfortunately, he had not gained the Crimson Gold Tiger's defense-breaking ability. Otherwise, he could kill even a Soul King with one Tail Whip.

He named this soul skill Breath of Destruction.

After taking a thorough bath in the stream, he followed the marks he had left and returned the way he came.

By the time Yu Xiaowei returned to the town, night had already fallen.

Over the course of the day, he had fought two ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts in succession. In the end, all he got was a bellyful of bloody tiger blood, without even a bite of hot food.

Especially after advancing to Soul Ancestor, his stomach had been gripped by a powerful emptiness. Right now, he felt like he could eat an entire cow.

Fortunately, the greatest advantage of this town built specifically to serve Soul Masters was the abundance of food.

Everywhere sold dishes made with all kinds of Soul Beasts.

Yu Xiaowei could not be bothered to pick between this flavor and that flavor. He simply found a roadside stall and started eating.

But a small stall only had so much food. In just half an hour, he ate the owner completely out of stock, yet he was only barely half full.

Just as he grabbed a drumstick and prepared to head to the next stall for more food,

several bursts of Soul Power came from a small hotel to his left, followed by the sounds of things shattering and startled cries.

Everyone eating at the other roadside stalls or walking along the street immediately became excited.

"Some Soul Masters are fighting! Come watch!"

"Where? Where?"

"The Tulip Hotel! Hurry up, or it'll be over soon!"

In this town near the Star Dou Great Forest, all sorts of people mingled together. Soul Masters frequently started brawls over the slightest disagreement, and the people living here had long grown accustomed to it.

Unlike ordinary people elsewhere, who feared Soul Masters like tigers, the people here wished Soul Masters would fight every day.

Otherwise, if they wanted to watch Soul Masters duel, they would have to travel all the way to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City and spend a large sum of money.

How could that compare to watching a fight right here in town?

Naturally, Yu Xiaowei was different from these ordinary people. He could not be bothered to watch some commotion. He only wanted to find more food and fill his stomach.

Just then, a white figure flew out of the hotel and hurtled straight toward him.

With Yu Xiaowei's skills, there was no way he would be hit. He dodged aside in a flash.

Then another white figure flew out from inside, landing at Yu Xiaowei's feet face-first in an undignified sprawl.

Gnawing on his drumstick, Yu Xiaowei glanced at the young man at his feet. He looked rather miserable, but he was not actually hurt.

"Idiot, use your Martial Soul!"

An angry roar came from within the hotel.

"White Tiger, Possession!"

"Phoenix, Possession!"

Among the voices that followed, Yu Xiaowei heard one he recognized, and his brow rose.

Dai Mubai had recovered pretty quickly. Yu Xiaowei had beaten him into that pathetic state last time, yet he had not changed one bit. He was still as arrogant and overbearing as ever.

Who gave him the courage? Liang Jingru?

The argument inside kept escalating. As an immense wave of Soul Power rose, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression walked out of the hotel first a moment later, five Soul Rings circling him.

Behind him came seven young men and women dressed in the same moon-white robes. On the left shoulder of each robe was a blue circular emblem, with two embroidered characters inside the ring: Canghui.

Dai Mubai and a short-haired chubby youth followed close behind, walking out with grins on their faces.

Following behind them were a bearded youth, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the expressionless Zhu Zhuqing.

The Shrek Seven Devils from the original story—no, the Shrek Six Devils—were all present.

There was no sign of Dai Mubai's previous injuries on his face. Judging from his expression, he was even more arrogant than he had been at the Rose Hotel.

But when he saw Yu Xiaowei's half-smiling expression, his steps abruptly halted, and his face rapidly shifted.

It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or afraid.

The excited Xiao Wu's face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly hid behind Tang San.

The violent image of Yu Xiaowei swinging Dai Mubai around and smashing him into the ground at the Rose Hotel still lingered vividly in her mind.

Oscar, who was walking behind them, noticed everyone's change in expression and could not help feeling confused.

Especially when he saw that Zhu Zhuqing, who had been like an iceberg ever since joining the academy, had actually revealed a rare trace of fear.

He could not help secretly speculating about the identity of the youth before them.

Ma Hongjun, utterly unaware of their history, saw Dai Mubai stop and stare at a young man across from them, then asked bluntly,

"Boss, who's that?"

"He's the one responsible for all those injuries I had last time."

Dai Mubai answered through gritted teeth. The moment he saw Yu Xiaowei, his entire body began to ache faintly.

"Oh ho, so he's an enemy."

After hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ma Hongjun immediately looked at Yu Xiaowei with hostility, then chuckled.

"Now that all six of us Shrek brothers and sisters are here, Boss, it's time to let him know why flowers are so red."

Yu Xiaowei's hearing was excellent, and Ma Hongjun had not deliberately lowered his voice.

So despite the noisy crowd around them, Yu Xiaowei heard every word clearly.

"Sure. Come on."

Yu Xiaowei wore a provocative expression, raised his middle finger at Ma Hongjun, and said mockingly,

"Heh, mediocrity fears trouble, right?"

"Little chick, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you don't come beat me up today, then you're a son of a bitch."

There'll be another chapter tonight. Happy New Year, dear readers! (>_<)
