The Balak Kingdom borders the Fasinuo Province, but although it is called a kingdom, its area is only three-quarters the size of the Fasinuo Province.

The Balak Kingdom belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire and is one of the Heaven Dou Empire four vassal kingdoms. Due to its border with the Star Luo Empire, the Balak Kingdom has the most powerful standing military force and can be considered the face of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although it is nominally subordinate to the Heaven Dou Empire, apart from necessary tributes, the Balak Kingdom is completely independent. All control is in the hands of Xue Ye's cousin, King Xuehui. It has a high degree of autonomy and can be described as a country within a country.

Suotuo City is a city located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire Balak Kingdom Empire, situated in the center of the fertile Lima Plains.

Suotuo City is not just an ordinary city. Its importance to the Balak Kingdom of Suotuo City is comparable to that of the Barak Royal City. It is also known as the granary of the Balak Kingdom and is heavily guarded.

The carriage slowly entered the city gate of Suotuo City. The guards at the city gate hurriedly saluted when they saw the token in Su He's hand. This was the token of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although the Balak Kingdom is now highly autonomous, it is still in a subordinate position compared to the Heaven Dou Empire. With the token given by Qian Renxue, Su He can even walk around Suotuo City with impunity.

Upon entering the city gate, Su He was somewhat disappointed with the appearance of Suotuo City. Compared to Spirit City and Heaven Dou Imperial City, where he had always resided, this place was far inferior.

Although it is a relatively large city, the gap between it and Spirit City and Heaven Dou Imperial City is like comparing an ordinary second-tier city to Kyoto and Shanghai.

Su He shook her head, inwardly condemning herself for being too ambitious and incompetent. The scale of Suotuo City already exceeded that of at least 80% of the regions in the Douluo Continent, yet she was still complaining about how dilapidated Suotuo City was. What a sin, what a sin.

With a few days left before Shrek Academy's admissions, Su He decided to wander around Suotuo City to pass the time and experience the local customs and culture.

Patrolling soldiers are a common sight here. Su He's attire is rather unconventional, and she has been stopped by the soldiers many times, demonstrating the tight security around her.

After passing a building, Su He stopped with great interest.

Yes, it is indeed the Rose Hotel. Many interesting stories took place in this Rose Hotel in the Original Work.

Su He strode in, and immediately the unique fragrance of roses wafted into Su He nose, causing him to involuntarily take a few more breaths. The surrounding layout was also quite in line with the name of the Rose Hotel; the entrance leading to the reception desk was covered with rose petals, the fragrance of which was refreshing and delightful.

Upon arriving at the front desk, Su He took out her Black Card and gestured to book a room.

The hotel receptionist was a woman in her early thirties who looked very well-maintained, much like the female manager of the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou Imperial City; she possessed a certain charm.

Upon seeing Su He's appearance, the receptionist was stunned and couldn't look away for Jiujiu. Then, as if waking from a dream, she realized her lapse in composure and gave Su He an apologetic smile.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"Give me a single room, please." Su He smiled slightly and said to the front desk in a friendly manner, then handed over her Black Card.

Although the receptionist was surprised to receive the Black Card, she remained very professional and quickly booked a room.

Su He took the key and went inside. She was fairly satisfied with the environment and the room was relatively clean. After settling her luggage, Su He went out to Suotuo City to wander around.

At night, he would return to the hotel to rest with some kebabs. What bothered Su He that there were always some unpleasant noises in the hotel that made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

After much thought, Su He decided not to sleep and instead got up to meditate and cultivate.

After reaching the Soul Emperor level, he neglected the most basic cultivation and really should calm down and make up for it.

The first three days at the hotel were peaceful until noon on the fourth day when a loud noise from the lobby shattered the hotel's tranquility and woke Su He from her cultivation.

With her brows furrowed slightly, Su He was in a state similar to being grumpy upon waking up, extremely angry.

Su He couldn't figure out who was causing trouble downstairs. Although this was the Rose Hotel mentioned in the Original Work, that unruly old rabbit had already been killed by Xue'er and turned into Soul Ring. Tang San shouldn't have any more conflicts with Dai Mubai.

Driven by curiosity, Su He got dressed, opened the door, and went downstairs. As he expected, there was a conflict between two groups of people downstairs.

One of the groups consisted of a man and a woman. The man was about 1.75 meters tall. Although he looked mature, his face suggested he was not very old. He was dressed in a blue, fitted outfit. Around his waist was a belt inlaid with twenty-four jade stones, which was the so-called "Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight".

His female companion was quite extraordinary. She had a curvaceous figure with long, flowing brown hair and a cold expression that kept people at a distance. However, whenever her gaze fell on the man in blue beside her, that coldness would immediately vanish, replaced by a gentle and warm feeling, like the sun.

Su He was puzzled. Who was this woman? The man in blue had the iconic Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight on him; it was undoubtedly Tang San. But Su He had never heard of the woman beside him. Xiao Wu was gone. Could it be that the timeline correction had arranged another wife for Tang San?

This time, however, it wasn't an older brother and sister, but an older sister and a younger brother. The woman was clearly much older than Tang San.

The man opposite them had unruly blond hair, cold eyes, and naturally double pupils. At this moment, the blond man had a pair of beautiful twin sisters in his arms, and he was eyeing Tang San and his female companion with predatory intent.

"Young Master Dai, it's not worth getting into a fight over such a small matter..." At this moment, Manager Wang of the Rose Hotel was still trying to dissuade the two sides from fighting, looking rather overwhelmed. The blond man, however, snorted coldly, showing no respect for Manager Wang, and simply stated that he would pay for all the damaged items at their original price.

He seemed quite masculine, but to Su He, it appeared somewhat strange, like children playing house.

This is completely understandable, since even Dai Mubai, who is older, is only fourteen and a half years old, more than three years younger than Su He, while Tang San has just turned twelve. In Su He's eyes, he is just a little kid.

It's like a college student looking at a junior high school student.

While Soul Beast like lions and tigers do have a natural advantage in terms of aura, the so-called aura that Dai Mubai was releasing at this moment put immense pressure on Tang San and his female companion. In Su He's eyes, he looked as weak and frail as a kitten.

"Give up this room, and I won't hold it against you two. Go back to where you came from."

Dai Mubai, that lecherous tiger, waved his hand dismissively, looking utterly disdainful. This action thoroughly enraged the woman beside Tang San.

"What a joke, who do you think you are?" the woman said coldly, about to make a move, but Tang San raised his hand to stop her.

"Sister Xiao Yu, this is a matter between men, let me handle it!" The Little Scumbag said firmly to the woman beside him, then added a sentence that Su He would want to dig out with her toes.

"I told you, anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over my dead body!"

"Hmm!" The woman was about to say something, but after hearing Tang San's words, she nodded emphatically. Although they now addressed each other as brother and sister, there was a hint of affection in Tang San eyes that shouldn't be between siblings—admiration.

Su He sneered. The corrective power of this world line was truly powerful. With his Golden Eyes of Disillusionment, he had naturally seen through the woman's true nature.

She wasn't a human Soul Master, but rather Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human Shapeshift, like Xiao Wu. Her true form was the Purple Ghost Snake, one of the high-level Soul Beast. However, Su He was very curious as to how such Soul Beast Transformation could appear beside Tang San, since the Purple Ghost Snake was a unique Soul Beast found only in Sunset Forest and couldn't be found in Star Dou Great Forest.

The Little Scumbag and the Tang Family haven't changed a bit about their strange penchant for interracial romances; ever since Tang Ricao started, they've all fallen for Soul Beast.

However, the Little Scumbag no longer has the nickname "Tang Ritu"; instead, he has become "the snake manipulator."

The twins next to Dai Mubai, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy the spectacle and even clapped and cheered for Dai Mubai, showing no sign of worry whatsoever.

Dai Mubai leaped into the air and delivered a powerful punch to Tang San. Tang San quickly activated his Mysterious Jade Hand to defend, but he was still limited by the difference in Soul Power. In this first exchange, Dai Mubai was clearly the winner.

However, Little Scumbag's combat thinking and talent were still outstanding. Although his opponent had not yet activated his Martial Soul, he had already figured out Dai Mubai's offensive preferences in just a few exchanges.

He is a pure Assault Type Soul Master.

After a tentative exchange, Dai Mubai realized that Tang San was not someone to be trifled with, and he was now genuinely interested in sparring with him.

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 38 Assault Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

Three Soul Ring, yellow, yellow, and purple, slowly emerged from beneath Dai Mubai's feet. The aura of Soul Elder covered the entire area, causing Manager Wang of the Rose Hotel to complain bitterly.

Oh no, it's all over... Who's going to compensate the hotel for its losses?

Some might wonder, didn't Dai Mubai say he would compensate the hotel for its losses? Anyone who believed that would be truly brainless.

Given Dai Mubai's background and power, he dares to say that, but would you dare to ask him for something? Obviously, Manager Wang wouldn't dare, and even the behind-the-scenes owner of the Rose Hotel might not have the guts to ask Dai Mubai for money.

The latter came from a very powerful background, being a descendant of a high-ranking noble in the Star Luo Empire. Such rumors had long been rampant in Suotuo City, so very few people dared to make a move against this Young Master Dai.

Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and said solemnly, clearly having already acknowledged Tang San and truly regarded this seemingly naive boy as a real opponent.

"Tang San, Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, Level 33 Assault Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

The butterfly effect has once again brought up a confusing aspect. Su He thinks that Tang San was probably stimulated when he kidnapped Xiao Wu and ignored his Teacher, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's advice, and started to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. At this moment, he has made some progress.

Perhaps because Tang San no longer needs to forge iron to support Xiao Wu Tang San, he has spent much more time cultivating in recent years, which is why Tang San Soul Power has been able to make a breakthrough.

It's important to know that in the Original Work story, when Tang San brought Xiao Wu to the Shrek Academy to enroll, his Soul Power was only at level 29. He even obtained his third Soul Ring by accidentally killing the Man Faced Demon Spider while following Zhao Wuji into the Star Dou Great Forest.

This is also the origin of the Eight Spider Lances.

Now that Tang San has chosen to focus on cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the Eight Spider Lances are naturally out of his reach. However, to be fair, cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer in the early stages is definitely more beneficial than cultivating his broken Blue Silver Grass.

Before it awakens into the Blue Silver Emperor, Blue Silver Grass is just a simple roadside weed. No matter how many Soul Rings are added to it to increase its resilience, it can't compare to a single tendril of the Sky Blue Vine, which is also a control-type plant Martial Soul.

It can be said that apart from its tenacious vitality, it is a completely useless Martial Soul.

The Clear Sky Hammer, however, is completely different. It is heavy and explosive, truly deserving of the title of the number one Tool Spirit in the world.

Despite being enemies, Su He had to admit that the Clear Sky Sect fully met the standards of a powerful Martial Soul sect.

The quality of the Martial Soul is excellent, and the number of Soul Master is also up to standard, unlike the Seven Kill Sword which is passed down only by a single lineage.

After both sides released their Martial Soul and performed the salute, facing Dai Mubai's tiger claw aimed straight at Tang San's face, the Little Scumbag raised his heavy Clear Sky Hammer and slammed it down hard.

Just as the tiger claw and the Clear Sky Hammer were about to collide, a figure appeared out of thin air between Tang San and Dai Mubai, one hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, while the other hand held off Dai Mubai's menacing tiger claw.

Then, with a gentle kick to the side, Tang San and Dai Mubai were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall. Dai Mubai, in particular, broke a large beam in the process.

Seeing this, Su He looked apologetically at the manager of the Rose Hotel, then took out a large bag of Gold Soul Coin from her Soul Tool and handed it to Manager Wang.

The latter was so grateful for Su He's actions that tears streamed down his face, and he kept praising Su He's great kindness and virtue.

Dai Mubai and Tang San slowly stood up as well. The former fixed his cold eyes on Su He and asked fiercely.

"Who are you to interfere in my business!"

"Next time, stop making empty promises and take action, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!!"
