Confrontation begins, Tang Sect musical instruments?

"Alright, time's up. Get ready to fight! There isn't any harsh punishment for the loser; just shout 'I am a pig' and that'll be it."

Hearing this bizarre penalty, Xiao Wu burst out laughing.

She knew the power of her dear brother Tang San's Hidden Weapons all too well. It looked like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were in for a rough time today.

Shen He narrowed his eyes slightly. As someone who never did anything without the prospect of profit, he naturally wouldn't help Tang San and the others train for no reason.

His goal was simple: find an opportunity to make modifications during their training and earn experience point rewards.

"Fatty, stoke that fire of yours for me. If I end up having to be the pig, I won't let you off the hook!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun stepped out first. They didn't bother with any formation, standing side by side and staring straight at Tang San and his group.

A fierce, pale-white light suddenly erupted from Dai Mubai's body. He stretched his arms and puffed out his chest. Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones, his muscles rapidly expanded, as if they were about to burst through his clothes.

His golden hair instantly shifted to a black-and-white color, and a distinct "King" character mark appeared on his forehead. His hands transformed into tiger paws covered in thick white fur, with sharp, chilling claws that could extend and retract at will.

Ma Hongjun followed closely behind. His entire body overflowed with a purplish-red light, and his short hair instantly grew longer and stood up, forming a unique mohawk.

Although he didn't manifest the wings of his avian martial soul, the heat released by that purplish-red glow was astonishing.

Two yellow soul rings rose slowly beneath his feet, long, slender feathers extended from his arms, and his hands transformed into sharp, claw-like shapes.

Although Ma Hongjun's martial soul had indeed mutated from a Grass Chicken, at its core, it was a genuine Evil Fire Phoenix, one of the top-tier beast martial souls.

Even Dai Mubai's White Tiger martial soul was inferior to it; to find something comparable, one would have to look at the level of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Tang San and the other two seemed to have deliberated on their formation. Tang San stood in the back, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood to his left and right, respectively.

And standing at the very front, facing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun head-on, was the Tang Sect expert, the Blue Silver Pig!

The Blue Silver Pig stood on its hind hooves, its two front hooves crossed over its chest, looking every bit the master.

"A lousy pig, what's there to be so smug about?!"

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

Accompanied by Dai Mubai's tiger roar, a series of milky-white light orbs were spat out from his mouth in rapid succession.

These white orbs flew toward the Blue Silver Pig from different angles and along various trajectories, sealing off all possible paths of evasion.

Dai Mubai had watched the battle between the Blue Silver Pig and Zhao Wuji earlier and knew the pig was exceptionally skilled in speed, so he intended to suppress it with sheer firepower.

However, the Blue Silver Pig danced and dodged, managing to evade every single one of Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blazing Light Waves within a tiny space.

Its mastery of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track seemed to far exceed that of Tang San.

While Dai Mubai battled the Blue Silver Pig, Ma Hongjun's targets were Tang San and the others.

Ma Hongjun raised both hands, and the yellow First Soul Ring on his body suddenly lit up.

He abruptly opened his mouth, and a thin stream of purplish-red flame spewed out toward Tang San.

The intense heat caused the air to distort. The purple flame did not look particularly violent, appearing in the air like an extended line of fire shooting forward.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Firewire!"

The purplish-red Phoenix Firewire was a full five meters long, flying straight toward Tang San's face.

"You underestimated your opponent!"

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared silently beside Ma Hongjun—it was Zhu Zhuqing.

After activating her Martial Soul Avatar, her eyes had become heterochromatic: the left eye ink-green, the right eye clear blue. Her long black hair lay flat against her back.

As she moved, she left behind a trail of afterimages, only slightly inferior to the Blue Silver Pig.

Ma Hongjun was startled and hurriedly shifted the angle of his Phoenix Firewire, trying to launch an attack at Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was extremely fast; he couldn't track her at all and could only sweep blindly, barely managing to defend himself.

Finally, Zhu Zhuqing seized an opportunity, and the two soul rings on her body lit up simultaneously.

Her body instantly soared into the air, and wrapped in soul power, she spun rapidly, then charged toward Ma Hongjun.

Hell Spirit Cat Second Soul Skill, Nether Hundred Claws.

Relying on the rapid rotation of her body and the sharp, piercing attack power of her cat claws, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed over a hundred attacks on her enemy in a very short time. Furthermore, because she struck the same spot repeatedly, the power was astonishing.

After Dai Mubai activated his Martial Soul Avatar, his fingers extended into blade-like tiger claws.

In contrast, after Zhu Zhuqing activated her Martial Soul Avatar, her cat claws were spike-shaped.

Clearly, those sharp cat claws would be agonizing if they pierced someone, and Ma Hongjun had no desire to experience it.

Therefore, he immediately activated his Second Soul Skill.

With a poof, intense purple flames suddenly ignited all over his body, erupting from within Ma Hongjun's plump frame and spreading outward instantly.

Ma Hongjun's Second Soul Skill was both offensive and defensive. The Evil Fire protecting his body forced Zhu Zhuqing to abandon her assault and retreat rapidly.

"Hehe, how about that? Can't do anything about me, can you?"

Ma Hongjun chuckled triumphantly, then spewed another Phoenix Firewire toward Xiao Wu, who was attacking him from another direction.

Once his Phoenix Evil Fire touched a target, it was difficult to extinguish unless it burned the target to ashes.

Xiao Wu had intended to close in and use her Soft Skill, but at this moment, she was forced to back away.

Both of them were somewhat at a loss with Ma Hongjun. Xiao Wu turned her head to look at Tang San in confusion, only to discover that he had actually taken a zither out of his Storage Soul Tool.

A zither?!

Seeing the stalemate in the battle, the Blue Silver Pig stepped on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and flew over, while Dai Mubai was in hot pursuit behind it.

However, when it reached the position of the Phoenix Firewire, the Blue Silver Pig's little butt suddenly stuck out, followed by a "pfft" sound.

"Whoosh!"

The Blue Silver Pig's exhaust was ignited by the Phoenix Evil Fire, turning into a wave of fire that directly engulfed Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai shuddered in fright. He knew just how troublesome Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Evil Fire was; once it touched you, it was a massive headache.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

As the Third Soul Skill was released, Dai Mubai's body instantly expanded once more. The muscles all over his body seemed to be carved by an invisible force, bulging exaggeratedly like towering mountains, tearing his upper garments to shreds.

The heart-palpitating, statue-like perfect muscle texture contained immense power in every single line.

Even more bizarrely, black horizontal stripes quietly emerged on his exposed skin, just like the markings of a real white tiger, adding a touch of wildness and unruliness to him.

His pair of tiger palms expanded a full circle under the surge of power, the blades upon them glinting and turning into bright silver edges, sharp and dazzling like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Most eye-catching of all was the brilliant golden light that enveloped his entire body, as if it had draped him in the armor of a war god, coating his whole frame in radiance.

Once Dai Mubai's Third Soul Skill was unleashed, all the Phoenix Evil Fire that had previously stained him was instantly extinguished.

Afterward, seeing that the Blue Silver Pig was a bit far away, he hurriedly dashed toward Tang San's position.

The way Zhao Wuji had won earlier gave him inspiration; although the Blue Silver Pig was tricky, he could win without a fight as long as he controlled Tang San.

Dai Mubai rushed quickly to stand in front of Tang San. At this moment, Tang San was holding the zither vertically, just as Shen He had held his guitar in his previous life.

He looked at the Dai Mubai in front of him "affectionately" and slowly opened his mouth.

"The way you walk toward me makes me so restless; I've never felt this way before."

"Cause I got a crush on you who you"

"Just because you are too beautiful, baby, just because you are too beautiful, baby."
