Tang Hao Battles Ye Zifeng; Tang Chen Intervenes to Steal a Soul Skill

The dawn of Tian Dou City.

Outside Forget Worries Pavilion.

Many people had gathered early outside the pavilion's entrance. They were all members of the royal family or high-level Soul Masters, yet they had set aside their pride and were waiting quietly for Forget Worries Pavilion to open.

Forget Worries Pavilion had three floors. The eldest, Ye Zifeng, and the second, Ye Hanxue, were calculating fortunes and treating patients on the first floor, while the eldest sister, Ye Hanxue, played the piano on the second floor.

Inside Forget Worries Pavilion.

Ye Zifeng glanced at the time and headed towards the entrance without rushing. Simultaneously, Ye Hanxue returned to her station, carefully selecting and combining medicinal ingredients, while Ye Han Yue returned to hers, tuning her strings.

After opening the door, Ye Zifeng returned to his position without looking back, a sight the people outside had grown accustomed to.

On the first floor, three royal officials approached the green-robed woman to seek treatment, elaborating on their ailments: "Soul Master Ye Hanxue, a few months ago, I was struck in the arm by an Evil Soul Master, and I've lost all sensation since then. The palace physicians are helpless."

"I was poisoned by someone."

"I was seriously injured while hunting Soul Beasts and my time is short."

Ye Hanxue simply glanced at the three royal officials and said, "It's a minor matter." as she began treatment.

A Soul Ancestor arrived on the other side of the first floor, where he saw a man sitting lazily at a table: "Soul Master Ye Zifeng, please calculate my fortune."

Ye Zifeng opened his eyes lazily, glanced at the man, and swirling patterns of the Eight Trigrams appeared in his mind. After a moment, he casually said, "Avoid hammers today." Then he closed his eyes to cultivate.

The Soul Ancestor nodded respectfully and proceeded to the second floor.

On the second floor of Forget Worries Pavilion, the woman in white (Ye Han Yue) played a soothing melody, and a dozen Soul Masters sat on cushions below.

The morning time quietly passed, and the guests inside the pavilion gradually dispersed as the three siblings sat together.

"Big sister, second sister, how long has it been since the Master came?" Ye Zifeng said with sudden, inexplicable pride: "I just broke through to level ten! You know, I'm only ten years old, and I'm already level ten!"

"Hmph! Without the techniques and resources taught by the Master, how could you have cultivated so quickly? Besides, you're comparing yourself to others. Compare yourself to Big Sister?" Ye Hanxue said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Ye Zifeng chuckled, "I said it was the Master, why are you avoiding the point? Besides, when we met the Master, our first and second Soul Rings were just taking shape. Only Big Sister, who happened to encounter the Master while hunting for her Soul Ring, obtained a second Soul Ring with over 900 rings. Our first and second Soul Rings combined don't even exceed 1000! But we both did gain some inheritance from the Master regarding fortune-telling and medical skills. It's not easy to cultivate to this level, considering I need to cultivate both my Soul Power and my esoteric techniques."

Second sister Ye Hanxue was about to retort, but Big Sister Ye Han Yue suddenly spoke up: "Enough, you two are a match for each other. We've cultivated so quickly not because of innate talent, but because the Master's methods are powerful. The Master also said you two must break through to level 70 before you turn twenty, or you'll never be able to become registered disciples of the Master! From now on, Forget Worries Pavilion will open only once a week instead of three times a day. You both need to cultivate diligently." Without waiting for a response from the two, she turned and left.

"No!"

Just then, the door was violently kicked open, accompanied by a sound of Soul Power: "You damned fools at Forget Worries Pavilion, come out and die! You dare to mistreat my Tang Hao's sister? Today, you will pay the price!"

The three siblings heard the commotion and went outside Forget Worries Pavilion, where they saw a burly, azure wolf man and several Soul Masters dressed in the same attire standing at the entrance.

Hearing what the azure wolf man said, Ye Zifeng immediately understood that this man was Tang Hao's brother, who had come to seek tutelage yesterday. Thinking about it, he calmly said, "Esteemed brother, your sister came to Forget Worries Pavilion yesterday to seek tutelage, but we refused. We didn't mistreat her, so how could refusing to accept her be considered mistreatment?"

"I don't care what you say. Since she wants it, you must give it to her." Tang Hao said matter-of-factly.

Ye Zifeng was about to object when Ye Hanxue angrily interjected, "What are you arguing with him about? He's obviously just bored and looking for trouble. A beating would solve this problem."

Tang Hao, hearing this, immediately flew into a rage, summoning his Clear Sky Hammer and charging towards the three of them: "You bastards, witness my Chaotic Wind Hammer!"

In an instant, the air was compressed, emitting bursts of sonic booms.

"Earthly Element, Earth River Cart"

Ye Zifeng's Spirit Soul Eyes flared to life, and a diagram appeared in his eyes, with four Soul Rings rising around him: yellow, yellow, purple, purple. A large amount of soil and gravel surged from the ground in front of him, forming an earth dragon in the air, which charged towards Tang Hao with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Tang Hao thought to himself, "A mere four-ring Soul Master dares to act recklessly in front of me." He increased his Soul Power output, trying to cripple him with a single blow.

"Boom!"

The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the earth dragon, and both of them retreated.

Then, seeing that he was not satisfied, he directly unleashed the Hao Tian Nine Slashes.

"Thunderous Decree"

"Departure - Meteor Shower"

"Surge Technique"

"Stillness - Earth Dragon Formation"

The two sides exchanged blows, evenly matched for a time. Eventually, Ye Zifeng, with the weaker Soul Power, faltered, revealing a weakness.

Tang Hao seized the opportunity and launched a full-power attack, just as he was about to strike Ye Zifeng.

"Chaotic Gold Bell"

Time seemed to stop suddenly. Ye Zifeng saw this and immediately knocked Tang Hao away, and then everything around him returned to normal.

The surrounding crowd was amazed, witnessing how Ye Zifeng had narrowly escaped defeat from Tang Hao just a second ago, only to see Tang Hao lying on the ground the next.

Tang Hao slowly stood up and angrily said, "You're cheating! You always retreat into the ground to evade my attacks. Fight me a fair fight!"

"Are you crazy? I'm a spirit-type controller Soul Master. Are you asking me, a spirit-type controller Soul Master, to go head-to-head with a battle Soul Master? And you have a higher Soul Power Level than me."

"A fight should be fair."

"But is it fair to only use our bodies to meet your Clear Sky Hammer? Shouldn't there be distinctions between agile Soul Masters and controller Soul Masters?"

"You!"

"What do you want? You're simple-minded and strong-armed. Let me call you something other than Tang Hao, how about 'little mouse'?"

Some people in the crowd laughed, while others pointed and whispered.

Tang Hao's heart lurched at the sight, and he spat up blood, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Zifeng.

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect surrounding them sensed the precarious situation and rushed forward, intending to teach this ignorant youth a lesson.

Suddenly, Ye Hanxue, his elder sister, scattered some powder. A thick, green mist immediately filled the area, enveloping the Clear Sky Sect disciples. Once the mist dissipated, all the disciples lay on the ground, completely drained of strength.

Everyone present was terrified by this display—such potent poison.

Ye Zifeng offered no further explanation, simply following his elder sister.

Suddenly, a massive wave of Soul Power erupted, surging towards Ye Zifeng. Faced with this sudden surge of Soul Power pressure, he was sent flying backward. Ye Hanxue and Ye Han Yue quickly moved to assist, but they too were suppressed.

His elder sister, Ye Hanxue, called out into the air, "Senior, if you're here, please reveal yourself."

"Hand over the self-created Soul Skill you just used, and you two sisters as well." A voice echoed from the surroundings.

"Is it not shameful to bully the young?" Ye Zifeng calmly replied, observing the scene.

"Refuse, and you will die." The voice boomed again.

Seeing this, Ye Zifeng could only shout, "Sir, I know you're here. If you don't come out soon, my sister and I will be in serious trouble!"

Couldn't find the book title, try searching for the author instead; perhaps it was just renamed!
