Great Fierce Tiger Seeks Revenge

Soto Great Soul Arena, Soul Battle Stage Number Five.

A fierce Flame Impact struck the ice wall, instantly turning it into water vapor. Sparks mixed with mist and drifted through the air with soft sizzling sounds. The remaining flames of the impact were dispelled in a single move by the Sword Qi between Ye Buqun's two fingers.

There was almost no suspense in the rest of the match. Ye Buqun leaped forward and sent Snake Man flying off the stage with one punch.

"Nice one, Clown!"

"Clown, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Clown, keep it up! I'll be betting on you to win from now on!"

"Doudou is amazing!"

"Long live the Ye-Doudou Duo!"

After their victory, thunderous cheers erupted from below the stage.

The Ye-Doudou Duo had proven their strength through their actions and earned everyone's support and respect.

Doudou was very happy today. She had personally defeated a Soul Master, and she finally felt that she was no longer Ye Buqun's burden.

Backstage at the Soul Arena.

Ye Buqun directly gave Doudou a head pat. "You were amazing today. I told you this soul ring was powerful, but I didn't expect it to be this powerful."

Doudou poked his arm with a slender finger. "Hey, is that any way to speak to your big sister?"

Ye Buqun looked confused. "Big sister?"

Doudou raised a slender finger. "That's right. Aren't I older than you? I don't think you've ever called me that even once, have you? Come on, let me hear it."

Just as the two of them were joking around, Manager Qian from the Soul Arena rushed in with a terrified expression. His fat face twitched as though he were deeply afraid. "Bu... Buqun, Doudou, s-someone has come looking for you."

Hm? What was wrong with him? Why was he stammering so badly?

As soon as he finished speaking, a whole crowd of people surged in from outside the hall. The leader was frighteningly tall, nearly three meters in height. His body was covered in granite-like muscles that looked incomparably solid. His knotted arms and thighs thicker than an ordinary person's waist all displayed his formidable strength. Standing there, he looked like an iron tower.

More than ten people followed behind him, likely all his lackeys.

"Qian, are these the ones?" The leader pointed an iron-like finger at Ye Buqun and Doudou, asking Manager Qian in a booming voice.

Sweat had already appeared on Manager Qian's fat face. "L-Lord Great Tiger, let's talk this out. Please don't start fighting."

"Get the hell out of the way. This has nothing to do with you!" As he spoke, the leader strode forward boldly. His iron-tower-like body alone gave off immense pressure. "You're Ye Buqun?"

Ye Buqun looked at him. "And you are?"

The leader snorted. "And I am? Listen carefully, brat. I'm Fierce Tiger's older brother. How do you think we should settle the matter of you killing my little brother?"

So this guy was the eldest legitimate son of the Fierce Tiger Family's patriarch, Fierce Tiger's older brother—Great Fierce Tiger. His physique truly was impressively mighty.

Yet Ye Buqun laughed when he heard that. "First, he bullied my girlfriend first. The fact that I didn't blow his head apart on the spot was already me being polite. Second, I barely used any strength in that punch. The fact that he died only proves that he couldn't take a hit. He was like a stupid cat that was all bark and no bite."

At those words, Great Fierce Tiger's eyes widened in fury. He raised a palm as large as a cattail fan, ready to strike. "What did you say? Say that again if you've got the guts!"

Ye Buqun's expression remained unchanged, his tone calm. "A stupid cat that was all bark and no bite. His death was practically cause for universal celebration."

"Stop!"

Just as Great Fierce Tiger was about to personally kill his enemy and avenge his younger brother, an elderly voice suddenly rang out.

Another man entered from outside. He was a lean middle-aged man with a goatee, dressed in a crisp uniform suit and holding a walking stick. He walked in with an air of slight authority.

Upon seeing him, Manager Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and hurried forward respectfully. "Vice Arena Master, you've finally arrived. Look at this—"

This man was the second-in-command of Soto Great Soul Arena, and he had rushed over after hearing the news. "No need to explain. I already know the situation. Mr. Great Fierce Tiger, as far as I know, your younger brother died suddenly in the arena. He was not beaten to death by Ye Buqun."

Great Fierce Tiger remained overbearing, his voice still booming. "Hmph! This little brat naturally doesn't have that kind of ability. He was merely lucky enough to hit my little brother's fatal weakness, which caused him to die in the arena! Vice Arena Master, don't say another word. I absolutely will not let this brat off!"

Hearing that, Ye Buqun folded his arms and smiled. "I'd really like to hear just how you intend not to let me off."

Great Fierce Tiger clenched his fists. "I'll give you three choices. First, kneel right now and kowtow to me one hundred times. Then go to my brother's grave and kowtow another four hundred times. After that, become a slave to our family for the rest of your life, and I'll spare your worthless life. Second, let me punch you ten times. If you can take them, I'll let you go. Third, I'll personally send you on your way! Choose, now!"

These demands were beyond excessive. Since the Ye-Doudou Duo nominally belonged to Soto Great Soul Arena, and had always performed outstandingly, achieving fifteen consecutive victories and earning the arena quite a bit of money, the Vice Arena Master also wanted to protect them as much as possible. "Mr. Great Fierce Tiger, aren't your demands a little too much? They are, after all, members of our Soul Arena. If you do this, it would make us lose face. We all regret your younger brother's death, but you cannot prove that Ye Buqun definitely killed him with a single punch, can you?"

Great Fierce Tiger's arrogant manner did not lessen in the slightest. Instead, it grew even worse. "Old man, quit babbling nonsense here. Even if it wasn't caused by that punch, he still can't escape responsibility. Do you know Charming Cat? After she returned to the family, we beat her to death and dumped her body in the wilderness. A piece of trash who couldn't even keep watch over her own partner. Defying the Fierce Tiger Family leads to this kind of end!"

"What?" Doudou's heart tightened upon hearing this. Although Charming Cat had been strangers to them, kind-hearted Doudou felt deeply upset at the news. If they had taken her in back then, she would not have ended up like this.

Kind-hearted Doudou could no longer hold herself back. She stepped forward and said, "Y-you're going too far! Charming Cat did nothing wrong. Why did you treat her like that?"

Gentle Doudou was rarely like this. It seemed her compassion had truly been stirred.

Great Fierce Tiger said, "Little girl, stop yapping. I'll take you back too later and let you experience Charming Cat's fate."

The Vice Arena Master's face darkened. "Great Fierce Tiger, if you insist on doing this, then you are causing trouble here. I know who stands behind you, but Soto Great Soul Arena is not to be trifled with either—"
