Puppet Pickpocket?

Wahahaha~

When the people in the stands saw that Wang Xiao had summoned a support-type Tool Spirit, they could not help bursting into laughter.

Most of it was mockery.

They had originally worried that Wang Xiao's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring might allow him to defeat Old Fire, who had won six matches in a row.

But unexpectedly, he had summoned a support-type Martial Soul.

They were immediately relieved.

They felt that Old Fire was certain to claim his seventh consecutive victory.

Under normal circumstances, support-type Martial Souls had no combat ability of their own.

Without the help of combat Spirit Masters and with no means of self-defense, they could easily be killed.

Forget fighting a Level Fifty Soul King—even against a Level Twelve Spirit Master, they might not necessarily win.

This was the pain of support Spirit Masters.

Under normal circumstances, support Spirit Masters would more or less have combat Spirit Masters accompanying them.

Yet Wang Xiao was alone, so it was inevitable that everyone mocked him.

"Is this guy taking part in a Soul Fighting Competition for the first time? Or is he just unbelievably ignorant? He doesn't even know such common knowledge, yet he calls himself a Spirit Master?"

"I think he just wants to kill himself! A support type challenging a combat type in a one-on-one fight? That's an egg smashing against a rock!"

"I rather admire the courage of this Ximen Chuiniu. He's practically challenging the impossible."

"You should know that he's using his life as an experiment."

"Two!"

"Mm, I support him, hahaha..."

The audience mocked Wang Xiao's support-type Martial Soul, the Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda, once again.

Wang Xiao merely smiled without speaking. Who said his Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda was a support-type Martial Soul?

They had simply mistaken his Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and assumed it was a support-type Martial Soul.

Hahaha~

Old Fire laughed as well. He had originally worried that his opponent's Soul Ring was stronger than his and that his Martial Soul was powerful too, making him difficult to defeat.

But now, he was completely at ease. His seventh straight victory was assured. "Kid, you've got guts!"

Wang Xiao smiled. "And you don't?"

"I mean, as a support Spirit Master, you're coming to fight a combat Spirit Master like me. Aren't you overestimating yourself and courting death?"

"You don't even understand that, yet you came to compete? You really are ignorant."

"We haven't even fought yet! Why are you babbling nonsense?"

"I don't need to fight to know that you've already lost."

"Buddy, don't talk too big. Be careful you don't embarrass yourself."

"The one who'll embarrass himself should be you."

"Fine, then let's do this." Wang Xiao could not be bothered to keep talking.

Everything would be decided by strength.

He was not afraid that Old Fire would refuse to accept it.

He could keep beating him until he did.

"First Spirit Skill, Puppet Pickpocket!" Old Fire wasted no more words and immediately unleashed his First Spirit Skill.

Wait, Puppet Pickpocket...

Why did that sound so familiar?

Wang Xiao had a bad feeling.

"Hahaha, this kid is in for it!"

"He probably doesn't even know what kind of Spirit Skill Old Fire's Puppet Pickpocket is, does he?"

"It's better if he doesn't know! It wouldn't be fun if he did."

"That's true!"

The spectators grinned, looking eager to watch a good show.

Whoosh~

Just as Wang Xiao was wondering what this Puppet Pickpocket thing was...

Old Fire's Puppet martial soul flashed behind Wang Xiao, back-to-back with him. Its right hand swiftly swung around and reached straight for his rear.

Damn, wasn't this just an altered version of his Monkey Steals the Peach move?

Damn it, Old Fire, you dared steal peaches from the Grandmaster himself!

Did he not know that this was the ultimate move Wang Xiao had invented?

Just as the puppet was about to succeed, Wang Xiao suddenly flashed away and vanished from where he stood.

Old Fire did not know that his opponent possessed lightness skills. Trying to pickpocket him was impossible unless he caught him unaware.

Using Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version, Wang Xiao finally escaped the puppet's deadly strike.

No wonder Old Fire managed six straight wins. So this was the move he used!

If my lightness skills weren't so good, it probably would have gotten me already.

"This kid isn't simple! His movement technique is actually this fast? He easily dodged the puppet's attack."

"Interesting. I was wondering how this kid, with a support-type Martial Soul, dared challenge a combat Spirit Master. Turns out his movement technique is so fast."

"That still won't help him. He can only run and can't fight. In the end, he'll still lose."

"Mm-hmm..."

Seeing Wang Xiao evade the attack, the audience began discussing it quietly.

Old Fire had not expected a support Spirit Master to possess such speed. It seemed he had to use something more powerful. "Second Spirit Skill, Rapid Sneak Attack!"

"What the hell?" When Wang Xiao heard the name of his opponent's Second Spirit Skill, it still had that peach-related meaning, and his scalp went numb.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The puppet's movement speed suddenly increased more than tenfold. It repeatedly appeared behind Wang Xiao's backside, swinging around for one grab after another.

"Holy shit..."

Only then did Wang Xiao understand that Old Fire's Second Spirit Skill, Rapid Sneak Attack, was simply an accelerated version of the First Spirit Skill, Puppet Pickpocket.

"Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version, Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version, Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version..."

His ass was practically smoking from being chased.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to repeatedly use his lightness skills to evade the puppet's pickpocket attempts trailing behind him.

"Tch, he escaped again!"

"This kid's movement technique is even faster than the Puppet martial soul. That's a skill too."

"This isn't exciting at all. One attacks while the other runs. What's there to watch?"

"This is boring to death!"

Seeing that Wang Xiao only knew how to run and had not been caught by the Puppet martial soul even once, the audience immediately became dissatisfied.

"Hahaha..." The host suddenly laughed. "It seems our challenger, Ximen Chuiniu, has a strong desire to survive!"

"Though he is only a support Spirit Master, his movement technique is so fast it's outrageous! Even the Puppet martial soul cannot catch him. That's a skill in itself."

"Skill my ass!"

"You jinx, you talk too much. Watch out, or I'll beat you until even your parents won't recognize you."

"This host is so annoying. Why haven't they replaced him? Is the Great Soul Arena deliberately trying to provoke people?"

"Exactly..."

The audience was deeply displeased with and disgusted by the host's remarks.

Yet the host did not care at all. "Wow! What is going on here? Who will be the final winner?"

"Old Fire, or Ximen Chuiniu? Let us wait and see!"

"Shut up. Isn't it obvious that Old Fire will win and Ximen Chuiniu will lose?"

"I can't even be bothered with this jinx of a host. What is he? If I were the owner of the Great Soul Arena, I'd have fired him long ago and sent him home to eat plain rice."

"He buzzes all day long like a fly. So annoying."

"I really want to swat him to death..."

The audience voiced their dissatisfaction with the host's commentary again.

This kid's movement technique is even faster than a Man Faced Demon Spider. Looks like I'll have to use my Third Spirit Skill.

"Third Spirit Skill: Three Attacks: Steal and Dig!" Old Fire shouted and immediately unleashed his Third Spirit Skill.

One puppet instantly split into three. They closed in from front and back, left and right. Six hands repeatedly appeared behind Wang Xiao's backside, swinging around for grab after grab, over and over, incredibly fierce.

Mm-hm~

Old Fire smiled faintly, a little smug. "I refuse to believe that no matter how fast your movement technique is, it can be faster than all three of them."

"My god!"

Wang Xiao was speechless. Old Fire's Spirit Skills kept coming back to this one move. He was truly Bu Yao Bi Lian. Wasn't this boring?!
