"That place is already in the outskirts, so the cost shouldn't be this high, right?

"Besides, I'll still need your living services in the future. The cost of living services in the outskirts must be even higher, right?"

Qian Tong thought it over with some difficulty.

"I'm only giving you this deal because you're so young. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't budge.

"How about this—seven Gold Soul Coins.

"As for the living services, delivering meals and water, I'll give you a discount if you pay for a full year. Ten Gold Soul Coins."

Su Yu's face turned green.

He felt that Qian Tong might have added the reduced rent to the service fee.

Ten Gold Soul Coins!

Delivering a meal and water every day—aside from labor, the cost would be at most three Gold Soul Coins!

What a robbery!

"I'll look at the house first. As for the service fee, I'll think about it."

Qian Tong did not press him.

"Fine."

Led by Qian Tong, Su Yu inspected the house and found it quite satisfactory. He immediately decided to rent the place.

"I'll think about the service fee."

"No problem. You can sign up whenever you come around, but I should remind you—the others probably can't wait much longer."

Su Yu smiled and thanked him for the reminder.

A six-year-old child discussed matters with Qian Tong like a little adult.

However, anyone who could sense the Soul Power Fluctuation constantly emanating from Su Yu would not dare underestimate him.

After all, ordinary people still made up the majority on Douluo Continent. Many people awakened Martial Souls without possessing any soul power.

Constantly releasing his Soul Power Fluctuation served one purpose of avoiding trouble, and another of misleading outsiders.

Ordinary people would keep their distance out of respect, while Soul Masters would be able to tell that Su Yu only possessed level four soul power.

After Qian Tong left, Su Yu went out to search the surrounding area for possible shops.

"Heh, kid, no matter how cautious you are, you still had to come out!"

Halfway there, Su Yu was stopped by a man with an ugly scar across his right cheek.

"Wang Meng!"

The fluctuation coming from the other man was far stronger than his own, though only to a limited extent. It had not reached the terrifying level of that Evil Soul Master from before.

Su Yu had seen this man's portrait at Qian Tong's place.

Wang Meng.

An eleventh-level Soul Master, with an Iron Rod Martial Soul.

In Wang Meng's eyes, Su Yu had been scared stupid, intimidated by his powerful soul power.

Hmph. A mere Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with only level four soul power—how could he not be scared stiff?

Soul power surged around Wang Meng, and a black iron rod appeared in his hand, marked with sparse white patterns.

A white soul ring floated around Wang Meng's body.

"Hmph, kid. Hand over your money if you know what's good for you, or don't blame me for getting rough!" Wang Meng threatened viciously.

"I'm out of money. Do you believe me?"

Su Yu shrugged. He really was out of money.

He looked around, checking whether Wang Meng had any other accomplices.

Three thin men in hemp clothes emerged from the other three directions, surrounding Su Yu. Su Yu recognized them as the peddlers who had stood outside his door earlier.

"Looks like everyone's here."

Wang Meng and the others had no idea what Su Yu meant, but with four people surrounding a six-year-old child, could they possibly let him escape?

"Hmph, hand over the Gold Soul Coins on you. Out here in the wilderness, no one would know if someone went missing."

Killing intent seeped from Wang Meng. He had truly killed people before.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes.

You were the one who said you'd kill me first.

He quickly put on a shocked expression, his eyes darting about as he shouted.

"Don't come any closer!"

Su Yu summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. The fluctuation of level four soul power spread out, as though he intended to use it to intimidate Wang Meng.

During the process, a large amount of soul power leaked out.

Wang Meng laughed in anger.

"Kid, you can't even control your soul power properly. Are you here to make a fool of yourself?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Wang Meng and his lackeys mocked him wildly.

Su Yu controlled the leaking soul power, sending it into the ground and into the Blue Silver Grass growing around them.

This was the outskirts, and the road was secluded. Blue Silver Grass grew thickly here.

Su Yu's soul power merged into it.

In an instant, the Blue Silver Grass around Wang Meng and his lackeys grew frantically, wrapping around them.

Blue Silver Grass had poor toughness and could be snapped easily.

But with enough of it, it could still restrain an eleventh-level Soul Master for one or two seconds.

Wang Meng struggled and roared in fury.

He saw this as Su Yu provoking him.

A tiny Soul Scholar with level four soul power dared attack a Soul Master with level eleven soul power. What else could that be if not provocation?

Su Yu used the same trick again.

As the four of them opened their mouths to laugh, Blue Silver Grass coiled around them, while branches of it surged into their mouths.

"Grafting Technique!"

Driven by Su Yu's soul power, the Blue Silver Grass grew instantly. Under Su Yu's control, however, the newly grown parts were extremely thin and sharp.

Its rapid growth, combined with those pointed tips, directly pierced the mouths of the three lackeys.

The Grafting Technique activated.

In an instant, the three lackeys' eyes widened. They died with their eyes open.

As for Wang Meng, he was not pierced by the sharp Blue Silver Grass.

Su Yu had to deal with all four people at once, so the force of the piercing attack was weaker. Even though he gave Wang Meng extra attention, this was still the result.

Wang Meng let out a roar.

The white soul ring around his body appeared and emitted white light.

"First Soul Skill, Sweep the Four Directions!"

Soul power flowed out from the long rod in his hand, transforming into countless rod shadows that swept through and broke the Blue Silver Grass.

The rod shadows then merged back into the iron rod. Wang Meng's gaze turned vicious as he leaped into the air, raising the iron rod to smash it down.

Su Yu remained calm and charged forward.

Everything was going according to plan!

A handle appeared in his hand.

Soul power flowed into it, and a somewhat solid phantom condensed above the handle.

"A Soul Tool!"

Wang Meng's heart jolted.

This kid actually had a Soul Tool.

Soul Tools were precious items. Any Soul Tool capable of being used in combat was at least a Level Two Soul Tool.

Even a Level Two Soul Tool, as long as it could be used in battle, was worth dozens of Gold Soul Coins!

How much money had this six-year-old child brought with him when he went out alone?

Wang Meng clearly was not some genius, and he did not even have much combat experience. Normally, he probably only relied on his soul skill to bully ordinary people or Soul Scholars below level ten.

Yet at a moment like this, that was what he was thinking about.

The dagger in Su Yu's hand had not fully condensed, but it was already lethal.

Whoosh!

He threw the dagger.

Who said a dagger had to be used in close combat?

Wang Meng was in midair and had no way to dodge.

Though the dagger had not fully condensed, it was still incomparably sharp and pierced straight through his chest.

Bang!

Wang Meng hit the ground. The iron rod in his hand dissipated. After struggling a few times, he only managed to turn onto his back, looking at Su Yu with a trace of pleading in his eyes.
