Tang San kept his eyes fixed on One-Eyed, his lips barely moving as he spoke to Yu Xiaogang.
His voice was quiet, but Yu Xiaogang and One-Eyed's group were all Soul Grand Masters.
At such close range, One-Eyed and the others naturally heard him as well.

"Leopard Transformation!"
"Goat Transformation!"
After everyone released their Martial Souls, five white and five yellow Soul Rings—ten in total—floated around
