023: She Started the Provocation, but I Took the Beating?

Dugu Yan pulled Kong over to a sofa at the side and sat down, naturally resting her head against Kong's shoulder.

Kong: "..."

Dai Mubai and Tang San first exchanged a few moves with their fists and feet. Dai Mubai was outmatched.

Tang San had, after all, been born into the Tang Sect and possessed the Tang Sect's Unique Skills. If they did not use Soul Skills and merely sparred in hand-to-hand combat, opponents of the same level—or even slightly stronger—were truly no match for him.

After watching for a while, Kong immediately lost interest.

Over the past few years, he had spent almost all his time cultivating on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Back Mountain. Every day, he was either getting struck by lightning or practicing martial arts with Wife-sama Baalzebul in the Plane of Euthymia.

He mainly studied how to use the Naginata, and from time to time, he sparred with Wife-sama Raiden Shogun. Of course, he was usually the one getting beaten...

How could he possibly be a match for the Raiden Shogun after learning martial arts for only such a short time?

Dugu Yan was equally uninterested in the "farce" before her. At eighteen, she was already level fifty-three. Watching Dai Mubai fight Tang San was like watching children brawl.

After swallowing and refining the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved as well. However, it was not as powerful as Dugu Bo's martial soul.

It was merely a weakened version of the "Jade Phosphorous Dragon," but her talent had improved tremendously.

According to Dugu Bo's deductions, once Dugu Yan's Soul Power reached Soul Saint or Titled Douluo, her Jade Phosphorous Dragon martial soul should have another chance to evolve, becoming the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor!

Dugu Bo's martial soul had initially only been a Jade Phosphorous Serpent. The moment his Soul Power reached Titled Douluo, his martial soul evolved, becoming the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!

After swallowing and refining the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, it evolved once more into the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor! Of course, he had bestowed that "Dragon Emperor" title upon himself!

Just then, Dai Mubai said to Tang San, "Tang San, I admit that you have the strength to fight me, but this hand-to-hand exchange ends here!"

As soon as he said that, Dai Mubai's first soul ring flashed.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Tang San was not one to sit around and wait for death. His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had told him that Control Type Soul Masters were the strongest in one-on-one battles!

Without a second thought, his first soul ring flashed, and he directly used the Soul Skill he was most proud of!

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

The Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand surged wildly, instantly binding Dai Mubai into a dumpling.

It had to be said that the Blue Silver Grass's toughness was genuinely quite impressive.

Even Dai Mubai, a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, was restrained for a full two seconds before breaking free!

"I didn't expect you to have some skill. But if this is all you've got, then this victory will belong to me, Dai Mubai!"

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai activated his second Soul Skill, his second century-level Soul Skill. A golden beam shot from his mouth.

It was currently his only ranged attack, and its power was quite formidable.

Of course, this was merely a spar, so Dai Mubai did not use his full strength. Tang San might end up being his junior after all!

"Second Soul Skill: Parasitism!"

"When did you—?"

Dai Mubai froze slightly. He had been bound into a dumpling again!

The White Tiger Light Wave also went wide...

Seeing this, Tang San felt somewhat proud. So what if Dai Mubai was a Soul Elder? His martial soul was only the "ordinary" Blue Silver Grass, yet it had now become so powerful that he could contend with an expert at the Soul Elder level. How could he not be proud?

One had to know that Blue Silver Grass was universally acknowledged as a useless martial soul!

Using a useless martial soul to spar against a top-tier martial soul and still winning—wasn't that enough to set one's blood boiling?

Then Tang Hao told Tang San that his was not a useless martial soul at all, but the Blue Silver Emperor...

There had never been any comeback story. It had all been arranged by fate.

With a bang, Dai Mubai broke free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraints. At that moment, his third soul ring had already lit up.

"Tang San, if I were only a Soul Grandmaster, you would have won this spar."

"But I am an expert at the Soul Elder level. My thousand-year Soul Skill can greatly enhance my attributes for half a shichen. You have absolutely no chance of winning."

"You won this spar. After all, I used my Third Soul Skill—it would be dishonorable for me to claim victory..."

Kong watched everything unfolding before him and shook his head.

Perhaps Tang San and Dai Mubai simply had the same rotten temperament, or perhaps it was fate's guidance that led to this scene.

When Dai Mubai had taken the initiative to provoke trouble, he had not been nearly so "graceful"!

After all, Dai Mubai firmly believed that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocrities.

"My, my, that boring soul battle is over. Boss, one room!"

Seeing that Tang San and Dai Mubai had stopped fighting, Dugu Yan pulled Kong to the front desk and said on her own.

Tang San: "???"

Dai Mubai: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Everyone looked at Dugu Yan and Kong, exchanging puzzled glances.

This was a clash between a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Elder. What was with this beautiful woman?

Earlier, she had been sitting there with this Little Blondie without moving at all. They had assumed she was too scared to move.

But thinking it over carefully, something seemed off!

"Hey, what do you mean, woman? What do you mean, this boring soul battle?!"

"And another thing! There are no rooms left! The last one is for Xiao San and me!"

With one hand on her hip, Xiao Wu pointed at Dugu Yan with the other and shouted.

She had already been furious enough over having to fight for a room, and now there was another person trying to take it!

Of course Xiao Wu was going to blow up!

Dai Mubai, who had originally planned to leave the Rose Hotel with the twin sisters, was no longer in a hurry to go.

He had a feeling there was a good show to watch!

"Little sister, it's very rude to point at people like that!"

Dugu Yan smiled and continued, "Besides, aren't those two just playing house? It's exactly like watching three-year-olds fight."

Dai Mubai: The show had somehow ended up on his own head!

Good grief, he was a dignified Soul Elder-level powerhouse, yet his battle had been called playing house!

This woman looked a little older than him. Could she be an expert?

After thinking for a moment, Dai Mubai shook his head. He knew nearly all the well-known "experts" in Suotuo City.

There was no such person among them.

Tang San was equally irritated. His performance had actually been called playing house!

This woman truly had a death wish!

"So what if I point at you! You're trying to steal someone else's room, and you won't even let them say anything?"

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Dai Mubai said, "Beautiful, I, Dai Mubai, am someone of standing in Suotuo City. With such provocative words, aren't you afraid that the Little Blondie beside you will get beaten up?"

Kong: "..."

No, what the hell was that supposed to mean?

Kong's mouth twitched. This Dai Mubai was pretty interesting!

Get beaten up, was it?
