Feifei Picks a Fight

Feifei Picks a Fight

That made Hanyu and Lüping, standing beside Snake Princess, burst into giggles.

Taishi Ming said, "My two wives!"

Hanyu said bluntly, "Little runt, I'm Hanyu. Just call me Fourth Sister!"

Lüping covered her mouth and chuckled. "I'm Lüping. You can call me Fifth Sister!"

So they were the two!

Wait, that wasn't right!

They weren't ugly at all!

Then where had the Five Poisons nickname come from?

How strange.

Still, judging by their mannerisms, Hanyu's name was elegant, but she was actually quite tomboyish.

Lüping, on the other hand, suited her name perfectly—delicate and refined.

With the two of them joining, Taishi Ming's little courtyard became even livelier.

The next day, Snake Princess and Taishi Ming headed toward the first-year and fourth-year areas respectively.

Just as Taishi Ming was about to reach the first-year grounds,

the adorable Feifei, accompanied by three little kids, blocked his way.

Taishi Ming was a little surprised.

"I can understand Si Tingxuan, Hua Qingluo, Xing Xiyang, and Feifei coming to cause trouble for me. After all, I gave her a nickname. But what do you three mean by this?"

Si Tingxuan snorted. "Fei—ptui! I mean, Yu Die is our boss. If you have a problem with her, you have a problem with us."

Hua Qingluo and Xing Xiyang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Boss?"

Taishi Ming laughed. Why did this feel like elementary school kids arranging a fight?

"Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

Si Tingxuan said, "Of course we're going to teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long staff appeared in his hand.

This was Si Tingxuan's Martial Soul, the Heaven-Soaring Staff.

It should have been a pretty good Martial Soul. Si Tingxuan's Innate Soul Power was level seven, and in the half year since his awakening, he had already cultivated to level nine Soul Power.

He was one of the most talented students in this year's first grade.

Taishi Ming grinned. So they really wanted to fight?

He beckoned with one hand. "Come on, come on! Let uncle—no, let big brother teach you a lesson."

"You!"

Si Tingxuan was enraged by Taishi Ming's arrogant attitude. "You're just a support-type Soul Master. What are you so cocky about? Today, I'll knock you flat with one swing!"

After saying that, Si Tingxuan quickly took two steps forward and thrust the Heaven-Soaring Staff at Taishi Ming like a spear.

Staff techniques generally consisted of swinging, chopping, thrusting, lifting, and flourishing.

Swinging and chopping emphasized strength, thrusting and lifting emphasized speed, while flourishing emphasized technique.

Si Tingxuan had used a thrust. His speed was fairly decent, but in the eyes of Taishi Ming, who could dodge sandbags thrown by eight people without getting hit once,

it was far too slow!

Taishi Ming stood still. Just as the Heaven-Soaring Staff was about to strike him, he swiftly shifted to the left.

He easily avoided the attack, then kicked out, landing squarely on Si Tingxuan's leg.

"Ah!"

Si Tingxuan fell straight to the ground.

Taishi Ming crooked his finger at Feifei, Hua Qingluo, and Xing Xiyang. "Next!"

"Ugh!"

Seeing Taishi Ming's cocky expression, Feifei was so furious that she puffed up like a pufferfish again.

But what could she do when her underling was so useless?

Hua Qingluo pulled Si Tingxuan away, while Xing Xiyang stepped forward. "Hmph, don't get cocky. Si Tingxuan was careless and fell for your trick. Now watch me!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

A fierce leopard with a white coat covered in black spots appeared behind Xing Xiyang.

At the same time, a yellow Soul Ring rose from his body.

That surprised Taishi Ming slightly. "Xing Xiyang, Innate Soul Power level eight, Martial Soul Gale Snow Leopard... Heh, no wonder you're one of the Four Assault Masters!"

Of course, the so-called Four Assault Masters was merely a title the four little kids had given themselves.

Xing Xiyang looked smug. "Just admit defeat. I've already obtained a Soul Ring and have a Soul Skill. You can't possibly be my match."

As he spoke, he swept Taishi Ming a contemptuous glance. "Although you got your Soul Skill early, you should understand that it's a support-type Soul Skill. It's useless in a one-on-one fight!"

Taishi Ming did not back down. Instead, he looked even more excited.

Xing Xiyang said, "You really won't give up until you hit a wall. Fine, I'll give you a proper beating today!"

As he spoke, the only Soul Ring on his body lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill, Leopard Charge!"

Xing Xiyang's speed surged. In almost a single second, he arrived in front of Taishi Ming, his right elbow driving toward Taishi Ming's chest like a spear.

Taishi Ming smiled at the sight. He steadied himself, grabbed Xing Xiyang's elbow with one hand and his belt with the other, then used his momentum against him and threw him in a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree overhead throw.

"Smack!"

Xing Xiyang hit the ground so hard that he bared his teeth in pain, unable to get back up for a while.

Feifei and Hua Qingluo looked at each other.

They had never expected even Xing Xiyang, who had become a one-ring Soul Master, to lose so easily to Taishi Ming.

For a moment, they had no idea what to do.

Of the two of them, Feifei would rather die than summon her Martial Soul. No one knew why, but she simply refused.

As for Hua Qingluo, her Martial Soul was the Sunset Bow. Once she fired, someone would either die or be injured.

After all, an arrow shot was like water spilled—it could not be taken back.

Therefore, she was forbidden from using her Martial Soul or Soul Skills without a teacher present, lest an accident occur.

"Hehe."

Taishi Ming gave a wicked grin as he walked toward Feifei and Hua Qingluo. "Honestly, I've wanted to pinch your cheeks for a long time!"

"Ah! I don't want that!"

Feifei covered her face with both hands and retreated again and again.

"Boss, something's wrong—run!"

Hua Qingluo reacted quickly, grabbing Feifei and fleeing at once.

Si Tingxuan hurried after them.

Only Xing Xiyang, who still had not gotten up, lay there pitifully. "Boss, what about me?"

However, Taishi Ming had not hit him too hard, so after a few seconds, he recovered.

He got up and chased after Feifei and the others.

"Pfft."

Watching the four of them run away, Taishi Ming could not help laughing. It felt like he had just beaten up a group of kindergarteners.

"Clap, clap, clap."

A round of applause rang out.

"Who is it?!"

Taishi Ming's expression changed, and he immediately went on full alert.

A man dressed in black robes and wearing a silver mask stepped out from a corner.

Tiger Mask!

Taishi Ming muttered inwardly. Why was he here?

However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he respectfully said, "My lord, I've been in the academy the whole time. As for Snake Manor's intelligence, I haven't—"

Before Taishi Ming could finish, Tiger Mask raised a hand to signal him to stop.

Then he said, "Your every move has been under my watch. Naturally, I understand that. I came this time because I received word that the king of the Balak Kingdom intends to move against Snake Manor. You had best resolve this crisis. Otherwise, if Snake Manor is gone, your value will be gone as well."

"A reminder: neutrality is not a problem. But you must understand that neutrality applies to the two princes, not the king. Otherwise, you'll be playing with fire and getting burned!"

"Oh, and those two fights just now—defeating two assault-type Soul Masters so easily as a support-type Soul Master was quite impressive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger Mask had already vanished from before Taishi Ming.
