Bu Le

After washing up, Oscar felt refreshed all over. Once he had changed clothes, he directly took Ma Hongjun to the Cafeteria for breakfast.

Ma Hongjun was still somewhat depressed over being beaten up yesterday, but when he heard Oscar say that he would take him to get revenge after breakfast, he immediately perked up.

Moreover, Oscar now had the confidence to take Bu Le on. Even if he lost, Zhao Wuji would have his back.

So Oscar had only one thing to say: "This round, the advantage is mine!"

After eating two stewed fat chickens and three large meat buns in the Cafeteria, Oscar and Ma Hongjun headed to Suotuo City under Zhao Wuji's lead.

Zhao Wuji had already told Flender about the matter last night. Flender shared Zhao Wuji's view and praised them lavishly. "Now these are Shrek's Little Monsters!"

The three of them each rode a horse to the outskirts of Suotuo City. After stabling their horses at the Horse Shop, they entered the city directly. It was only around ten in the morning.

Yesterday, Bu Le had threatened Ma Hongjun and told him to meet at an ordinary vegetable market in West City. Though they were not certain whether Bu Le would wait for them there, there was no harm in taking a look first.

Oscar was also afraid that Bu Le might run away, so he had Zhao Wuji follow them from a distance without revealing himself.

When Oscar and Ma Hongjun arrived at the West City vegetable market, they went to the place Bu Le had named. After waiting for ten minutes without spotting Bu Le, Ma Hongjun angrily called him a coward and all sorts of other things.

Just as Oscar was beginning to think Bu Le would not show up, a sneaky figure leaned half his body out from the second floor.

Ma Hongjun noticed the figure at once. Pointing at him, he snarled, "Bu Le, you bastard! My Brother Ao is here today! If you've got the guts, come down here and see if we don't beat your ass black and blue!"

That was right. This sleazy man was Bu Le, the one who had beaten up Ma Hongjun yesterday.

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Bu Le actually flipped down from the nearly five-meter-high second floor, landing steadily before Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

As a Soul Elder, such a height was nothing to Bu Le.

The moment Bu Le appeared, the already sparse crowd scattered at once. Clearly, he did not have a good reputation around here.

Though those people had dispersed, a small number still hid in the distance and secretly watched them.

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Oscar looked up as well and found that Bu Le really was exactly as he had been described in the original story.

Bu Le was a middle-aged man in his forties, dark-skinned and just over one meter sixty tall, almost the same height as Oscar.

A satisfied, lewd grin hung on his face. He held a money pouch in his right hand—the very one he had stolen from Ma Hongjun yesterday. He wore only a pair of loose shorts with several holes in them and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

Swaying his head as he walked toward Oscar and Ma Hongjun, he hummed a little tune. "Little brats, I'm in a good mood today. Have your big brother give me a hundred Gold Soul Coins, and I won't beat you up."

Bu Le's words immediately enraged Ma Hongjun, and he was about to attack him. However, Oscar stretched out a hand to stop Ma Hongjun and calmly said to Bu Le, "You're a Soul Elder, yet you spend your days bullying children. Don't you find that shameful?"

Bu Le chuckled. "What? Judging by the look on your face, you don't intend to pay?"

Oscar ignored Bu Le's arrogance, his expression remaining calm. "You must not be an idiot if you cultivated to the Soul Elder rank. Hongjun's First Spirit Ring is already at the Hundred Year level. Do you really think he could be some ordinary family's child?"

At Oscar's words, Bu Le's smug expression instantly turned grave.

It was not as if he had never considered that question. Otherwise, he would have done far more than merely rob Ma Hongjun yesterday.

After all, he had encountered quite a few young prodigies like Ma Hongjun before, possessing a Hundred Year Spirit Ring at such a young age.

But such young prodigies cared about their pride, so Bu Le never went too far. That way, they usually would not tell their families and would instead bring a few people to come reclaim their honor.

Bu Le had used this method to beat up many geniuses like Ma Hongjun, and he had made quite a bit of profit from it as well.

While there was sometimes a risk that an adult from their family would come looking for trouble, Bu Le had secretly observed from upstairs for ten whole minutes. He had only come down after confirming that only these two children had arrived.

Besides, he had two good brothers, both Soul Ancestors. Even if someone discovered what he had done, at most he would only have to pay some money.

But Oscar's blunt words still made Bu Le somewhat uneasy.

Before Bu Le could speak, Oscar continued, "I won't make things difficult for you today. The money can be paid—but by you."

"Give me a hundred Gold Soul Coins, then apologize to my little brother. We'll let this matter go. Otherwise..."

Upon hearing Oscar's threat, Bu Le's first reaction was not to threaten him back, but to survey his surroundings. Once he confirmed there really was no one nearby, his expression relaxed somewhat.

Bu Le gave a sinister smile. "Kid, I'll admit you've got some guts, but don't forget that I'm a Soul Elder! And I have two Soul Ancestor brothers. If you really anger me, I can beat you up today and flee Suotuo City. What could you possibly do to me?"

Bu Le did not state things too absolutely. These two children truly did not look ordinary, especially Oscar. Not only did he carry himself with an air of nobility, but his entire temperament was clearly not something an ordinary family could cultivate.

Bu Le knew he might have run into trouble this time, but he was not overly worried.

Besides, he had lorded over Suotuo City for so many years. He had not been scared into submission, much less by a child.

He might be wary of the forces behind Oscar and Ma Hongjun, but he was not afraid of these two children! Oscar chuckled at his words. "In that case, I'll give you an opportunity as well. The two of us will fight you again. If you win, we'll give you a hundred Gold Soul Coins. But if you lose..."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Bu Le had thought he would need to flee early today. He had not expected this brat to be so ignorant of his own limits.

Without even thinking, Bu Le said, "Fine. You said it yourself. I trust you won't go back on your word."

Oscar nodded. "Don't worry. My teacher is a Soul Saint, after all. Naturally, I won't go back on my word."

Oscar had only said it casually, but upon hearing it, Bu Le suddenly did not dare to act rashly.

He had thought Oscar and Ma Hongjun had, at most, a Spirit King or Soul Emperor behind them. He had never expected a Soul Saint? Though it was possible that this brat was lying, Oscar's calm and composed manner made it seem like it might be true.

Oscar noticed Bu Le's subtle change and smiled faintly. "Don't worry. I can afford to lose face, but my teacher cannot. The reason we came to find you was only because my teacher wanted to give us a test."

Hearing this, Bu Le's expression shifted slightly, and he felt somewhat relieved. Even if Oscar was telling the truth, a Soul Saint truly would not go back on his word.

Even though the promise had been made by Oscar.

However, Oscar's next words made him angry. Oscar said, "But you'd better win. Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, you can forget about doing bad things ever again."

Bu Le nearly exploded on the spot. Though he did not know Oscar's exact strength, judging from Ma Hongjun's abilities, this silver-haired little brat could at most be a Soul Grandmaster.

Could a Soul Elder possibly lose to a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Master? Bu Le said directly, "Kid, I admit I can't afford to offend the forces behind you, but if you look down on me like this, I'll make you pay the price!"
