Tailong Gets Beaten

"Make your move!" Relying on his age, Tailong was too embarrassed to attack first.

Ye Feng said nothing. With a spread of his wings, he charged at him, making his attitude clear through his actions.

After his martial soul evolved into a Sharp-tailed Swallow, Ye Feng's speed had reached an astonishing level. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Tailong.

Seeing how fast Ye Feng was, Tailong was startled and hurriedly raised his arms to block.

Ye Feng happened to want to test just how strong the Great Ape's power was, so he did not dodge. His bird claws spread slightly as he threw a punch at him.

Thud, thud, thud!

After that punch, Titan only felt an immense force surge toward him, forcing his body to stagger back several steps.

"How is that possible?" Tailong stared at Ye Feng in disbelief, nearly forgetting to continue fighting.

His martial soul was the Great Ape, renowned for its strength, yet he had actually lost to an Agility Attack Type Soul Master in terms of power. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought his vision was failing him.

"Are you really an Agility Attack Type Soul Master?" Tailong was full of suspicion toward Ye Feng.

Hearing that, Ye Feng hurriedly shook his head. "How could that be? I'm an Attack-type Soul Master, not an Agility Attack Type."

What a joke. Although the Sharp-tailed Swallow truly had little offensive ability, his martial soul could evolve. Who knew, perhaps it might even evolve into a phoenix someday!

If that fat guy Ma Hongjun could be an Attack-type Soul Master, why couldn't he?

"Hmph, I wasn't paying attention just now. Let's go again." Tailong did not care what type Ye Feng was. Right now, he only wanted to recover his pride.

If people learned that he had lost to an Agility Attack Type Soul Master in strength, he would never be able to face anyone again.

"Come on, then. Let me see just how strong you really are." Ye Feng bent his knees slightly and raised his hands into a stance ready to strike at any moment. Faintly, one could actually see traces of the Seven Kill Sword Style within that stance.

First Spirit Skill, Surge.

With a loud roar, Tailong's strength instantly grew.

As a pure strength-type Soul Master, all of his soul ring effects increased strength.

His first soul ring skill, Surge, could raise his strength by one-quarter.

Boom!

With the boost from his spirit skill, Tailong's strength was now on par with Ye Feng's.

"Good, then take my Second Spirit Skill, Condense."

Originally, Tailong had not planned to use his Second Spirit Skill. After all, he was a Soul Master in his twenties, and his Soul Power already surpassed Ye Feng's. If he used his Second Spirit Skill as well, it would be a little like bullying.

But at this point, he could no longer care about that. All he wanted was to surpass Ye Feng in strength.

And reclaim the pride he had lost.

The Second Spirit Skill, Condense, also enhanced strength. The First Spirit Skill increased his own strength by one-quarter, while the Second Spirit Skill further increased it by another twenty percent on that basis. Together, the two spirit skills raised his strength by a total of half.

Bang!

This time, Ye Feng was at a disadvantage before Tailong's strength.

However, strength was not all he had!

Spirit Skill, Accelerate!

In an instant, the soul ring beneath Ye Feng's feet lit up as well.

The next moment, Ye Feng became even faster. With the help of the Accelerate Spirit Skill, his body left behind streaks of afterimages as he rapidly circled Tailong, making it impossible for Tailong to even touch the corner of his clothes.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Now Tailong truly became a clumsy gorilla. Before Ye Feng's speed, he could only passively endure the blows. In just a few exchanges, Ye Feng had beaten him until his nose was bruised and his face swollen.

"Tailong, you lost." After unleashing a string of attacks, Ye Feng stopped, feeling utterly refreshed.

Beating up a free punching bag really was satisfying.

"Ding, your martial soul has experienced a passionate battle. Spirit Evolution Progress has increased. Progress: 3/10."

"Ding, your Seven Kill Sword Style has experienced actual combat. Combat experience has increased, and proficiency has greatly improved."

The pleasant System Prompt made Ye Feng look at Tailong with burning eyes.

The trip to the Speed Clan would take quite some time. He had thought it would be boring, but now it seemed this journey would not be lonely after all.

"Yay, Brother Ye Feng, we won! Hahahaha! Big gorilla, you're so stupid! You couldn't even beat Brother Ye Feng." Seeing Ye Feng win, Ning Rongrong jumped up in excitement.

She had participated in this battle too. Ye Feng defeating Tailong felt the same as if she had defeated him herself.

"Hehe, let's go. The carriage has already gone far ahead. If we wait any longer, we might not be able to catch up."

Ye Feng skillfully scooped Ning Rongrong into his arms. The silver-white wings behind him spread wide, and his body instantly soared into the air.

Leaving behind a sentence, he vanished into the distance with Ning Rongrong. "Tailong, we'll go on ahead. Catch up by yourself!"

Tailong: ...

Damn it. He had not noticed earlier, but only now did he realize that the convoy's carriage had gone far away. He could not even see its shadow anymore.

By the time Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong caught up with the group and returned to the carriage, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had already returned.

Before they could ask, Ning Rongrong had already scampered over to the two of them, eagerly boasting about the battle just now.

After listening to Ning Rongrong's account, Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Feng with satisfaction.

"Haha, Rongrong and Ye Feng both did well. This is the effect of teamwork. The Strength Clan consists of pure strength-type soul masters, and they are quite formidable. The fact that you managed to defeat Tailong already proves how outstanding you are."

Even while praising them, Ning Fengzhi did not forget his duty to teach. Whenever he had the chance, he would instill some principles in them.

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere on this side, once Tailong had exhaustedly caught up with the group and returned to his carriage, Titan grabbed him and gave him a beating.

Especially after learning that he had lost to Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong, two children, Titan showed him no mercy.

"I'll beat you to death, you worthless trash! You're already a Soul Grandmaster, yet you couldn't even defeat two soul masters who awakened not long ago. You've completely disgraced yourself!"

Titan cursed as he beat him, but inwardly, he was extremely astonished.

He knew Tailong's strength well, yet he had unexpectedly lost to two little brats.

This left him no choice but to be amazed by Ye Feng's strength.

"As expected of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. Looks like Old White Bird really found himself a treasure this time."

For a moment, Titan's face was full of smiles.

But when he looked at Tailong's bruised and swollen face, his blows only became harsher.

Soon, dusk approached. The group stopped moving and began setting up camp, preparing to rest for the night.

For this journey, both Ning Fengzhi's group and Titan's group had come thoroughly prepared.

Things like tents and food had long since been stocked up.

It was Ning Rongrong's first time camping, and she found everything fascinating. One moment, she crawled into this tent; the next, she ran into another.

"Brother Ye Feng, how about I share a tent with you tonight? We can whisper secrets!"

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong ran up to Ye Feng and whispered softly into his ear.
