Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the small courtyard, Yu Cheng kicked out rapidly, sending the bucket-thick Wooden Dummy reeling back and forth.
After awakening his Soul Power, he could clearly feel that his physical abilities had improved considerably.
Strength.
Speed.
Reaction time.
On the Douluo Continent, the difference in combat strength between Soul Masters and ordinary people was worlds apart.
Even a One-ring Soul Master, even if he was just a child, could easily defeat five ordinary soldiers.
Bang!
Soul Power surged through Yu Cheng as he raised his right leg and kicked the Wooden Dummy flying.
"Phew..."
Yu Cheng wiped away his sweat and sat down on a stool.
A gentle breeze blew past, bringing a trace of coolness.
Yu Cheng's legs already felt weak and sore, yet his spiritual energy remained abundant.
With a thought, Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng floated out of the Ash Box.
"How was it? That scene at the village entrance during the day—didn't I count as living under the sunlight and receiving everyone's cheers?"
Yu Cheng said with a grin.
"Hehe, they were just commoners without Soul Power. Back in Slaughter City, those Soul Masters wouldn't even dare lift their heads to look at me."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng could not help rolling his eyes.
"Bro, you were that awesome?" Yu Cheng asked doubtfully.
"Fifty consecutive victories. Top ten in the Hell Slaughter Arena. They called me the Devil Muscle Man."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng curled his lips into a smirk.
"Then why did Tang San still kill you?"
"..."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's voice caught.
"Actually, I noticed Tang San the first time he entered a match. I knew I had to kill him. Otherwise, when Slaughter City was destroyed, I would die with it."
"I had made every possible preparation, but I was careless for a moment..."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng sighed and shook his head.
"If I get the chance, I'll beat him up for you," Yu Cheng said.
Who would have thought that despite all Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's calculations, he had still been no match for the Child of Destiny?
Yu Cheng suddenly thought of something. If I died one day, what regrets would I have? Could someone help another Yu Cheng fulfill them?
Before long, his mood settled down again.
It seemed Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng really was dead.
That was great.
Perhaps there was no need to care about any final wishes. Once Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng disappeared, he might be able to open the Ash Box as well.
"What are you smiling about?"
Seeing that Yu Cheng could not suppress the curl of his lips, Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng could not help asking.
"I thought of something happy."
"..."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng said, "Try to look more natural. Someone is watching you."
"What?!"
Yu Cheng instinctively wanted to look around, but he ultimately restrained himself.
"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Tang Hao. He has been spying on you for some time. He is probably trying to find out why you awakened Soul Power," Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng said calmly.
"Then why didn't you warn me sooner? Tang Hao is a Title Douluo. What if he discovered you?"
Yu Cheng felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"Don't be nervous. The entire Holy Spirit Village is under my surveillance."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng spoke calmly.
"In the perception of a soul body, the surroundings are grayish white, while living beings look like clusters of flame. Even a Title Douluo has nowhere to hide."
"That powerful?" Yu Cheng was somewhat surprised.
The northern and southern ends of Holy Spirit Village were several kilometers apart, yet all of it was under Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's surveillance!
Wasn't that Huo Gua's spiritual detection?
Or Thermal Imaging from his previous life?
Wouldn't that mean he had a built-in x-ray cheat for fighting enemies or running away in the future?
"If I could have obtained Soul Rings in Slaughter City, I would have at least become a Soul Saint!"
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng crossed his arms and curled his lips disdainfully.
"When you encounter powerful enemies in the future, I can possess you and fight for you. Even that trash Yu Xiaogang would be easy to deal with if I borrowed your current body."
"However, that would speed up my dissipation. It isn't worth it."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through Yu Cheng's eyes.
He could do that too?
A Soul Saint was truly terrifying!
"Since that's the case, I can't slack off either!"
With that, he resumed his training.
In the grass.
"He started training again after resting for only a moment? What incredible recovery ability. It is practically comparable to that of a teenager."
Tang Hao watched Yu Cheng's powerful split kicks, surprise flashing through his heart.
When he was in his teens, he had been like that too.
Sometimes, when one round was not satisfying enough, he would go for another.
But Yu Cheng was only a six-year-old child.
Moreover, Tang Hao had been born into the Clear Sky Sect and possessed many resources to assist his cultivation.
For example, Medicinal Baths, soul beast meat...
After every training session, he had to consume special medicines and rest properly before beginning a second round.
If Yu Cheng trained like this, he would easily end up with hidden injuries if he was not careful.
If one did not pay attention while young, one could only weep in secret when old.
"This kid's body..."
The more Tang Hao watched, the more surprised he became. He even showed a trace of admiration.
In his opinion, Yu Cheng's physical strength was absolutely among the best for his age. Even most Clear Sky Sect disciples could not compare to him.
"Could it really be a Martial Soul Mutation?"
"Ah Yin once said that although Blue Silver Grass was fragile, it had one advantage: vitality."
Tang Hao's eyes flickered as his gaze settled on Yu Cheng.
At first, he suspected that Yu Cheng had obtained some rare treasure or consumed some kind of medicine. But after observing him for a while, he abandoned that idea.
After consuming some rare treasure, abnormalities would appear in the body's energy for a short period of time.
Yet the energy within Yu Cheng's body was perfectly integrated.
His calves were planted on the ground like the roots of an ancient tree. After every punch, an endless stream of strength replenished his body.
This perfectly matched what Ah Yin had said about the traits of a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master.
Powerful vitality.
If Yu Cheng could hear Tang Hao's thoughts, he would definitely say:
You really are good at judging people!
Yu Cheng's Innate Soul Power came from Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's sacrifice.
At the same time, part of the energy in the blood of wild beasts had been filtered by Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng and absorbed by him.
There were no side effects whatsoever.
It was practically no different from his own strength!
Though they were only ordinary wild beasts, they were undoubtedly highly nourishing for a six-year-old boy.
After three months of sacrifices, even an ordinary person's vitality could not compare to his.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, another Wooden Dummy was kicked flying.
"What a pity. He is training without any method at all. What kind of leg technique keeps kicking at the groin?"
Tang Hao glanced at the Wooden Dummy and shook his head.
Yu Cheng's physical condition was excellent. His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had probably mutated.
But without any inheritance, he was just training randomly.
"It seems the tasks I assigned Xiao San are still not enough."
"Although Xiao San possesses Innate Divine Strength, his physical condition is still somewhat inferior to Yu Cheng's."
"Extra training!"
Tang Hao did not linger any longer. He turned and headed toward the Blacksmith Shop.
"Did Tang Hao leave?" Yu Cheng asked inwardly.
"He left! He also took two of your salted fish."
Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng curled his lips and teased him.
"Damn it!"
Yu Cheng glanced in the direction of the Blacksmith Shop and snorted coldly.
Once he opened the Ash Box and inherited the legacy...
Forget it.
Even if he inherited all of Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng's abilities, he apparently still would not be a match for a Title Douluo.
School would begin in a few days. He should think about how to deal with the City Lord's Mansion and Yu Xiaogang instead.
