After the battle ended, Bibi Han made two chairs. He and Na'er sat there, took out some juice, crossed their legs, and drank as they waited. They could not have been more relaxed.

The two Soul Masters who came were both dealt with, then made to withdraw.

It was almost noon. It should be about time, right? They already had one thousand Medals. That final strong team should be coming out too, shouldn't they?

Sure enough, three figures approached from afar. They were Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.

As he watched them approach, Bibi Han asked excitedly, "You should have quite a few Medals, right?"

Yan replied, "Brother Han, we only have a little over a hundred and fifty."

The moment Bibi Han heard that, his eyes lit up. "Very good. Are you handing over the Medals just like that, or do I need to use a little violence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Liena stepped forward. Her gaze at Bibi Han was icy, filled with hatred.

Bibi Han was quite satisfied with Hu Liena's look. Seeing that she stood closer to Yan than to Xie Yue, he could not help thinking, Yan, Tang San will meet you six years from now. You'd better win Hu Liena over before then.

"Bibi Han, we finally meet," Hu Liena said coldly.

"Oh, and?" Bibi Han remained seated, even swirling the juice in his hand.

Seeing that Bibi Han still did not take her seriously, Hu Liena's gaze grew even colder. "Ever since I suffered that humiliation last time, I have sworn to wash it away with blood."

"You've got determination, but with your strength, don't make me laugh. Even the three of you together aren't enough."

Half a year had passed. Xie Yue was now level 39, Yan was at the peak of level 39, Hu Liena was level 37, and Bibi Han was level 38.

"I'm indeed not enough alone, but aren't you curious how the three of us managed to obtain over a hundred and fifty Medals?" Hu Liena said again, her face brimming with pride.

The three of them had collected a total of 158 Medals, more than ten percent of all the Medals. Such a record made Hu Liena proud.

Bibi Han smiled at Hu Liena disdainfully. "What's there to be curious about? Na'er and I collected a thousand."

"Here, take a look."

Bibi Han tossed out a sack, packed full of Medals that glittered under the sunlight.

Xie Yue's mouth twitched. His little sister had been slapped in the face again. Yan, meanwhile, stared at Bibi Han with shining eyes. As expected of Brother Han.

Hu Liena's icy face immediately flushed red. Filled with hatred, she said, "Brother, let's do it."

Xie Yue and Hu Liena both released their Martial Souls. Xie Yue's body slammed into Hu Liena's. At the instant their bodies collided, Red Light appeared and enveloped them both. The Red Light flashed, and the original two became one—a long-haired figure whose gender could not be distinguished, holding a Moon Blade in each hand.

"Bibi Han, prepare to die!" a voice neither male nor female emerged from their mouth.

Seeing this, Bibi Han finished the juice in his hand and walked toward Demon Charm. Demon Charm had utterly crushed Tang San in the original story, and he wanted to see what it could do for himself.

Red Mist spread out and engulfed Bibi Han. His senses would then be reduced by forty percent, his Soul Power suppressed by forty percent, and all his movements slowed by forty percent.

Then that androgynous voice said, "It was this Martial Soul Fusion Skill that allowed us to crush those opponents. Whether top-tier Soul Ancestors or teams of more than ten, none could withstand us. Now it's your turn, Bibi Han."

Bibi Han activated the Eye of Truth and watched Demon Charm approach. Honestly, he did not take this Martial Soul Fusion Skill seriously at all. Once he activated the Blue Silver Domain, the Red Mist would be dispersed immediately. However, he did not do so. Without the Red Mist, Demon Charm would not even be a match for Qian Gu Yuntian. Demon Charm could not use Soul Skills at all, so leaving the mist intact made things more challenging.

Bibi Han stretched for a while, testing his current mobility, then crooked a finger at Demon Charm. "Come on."

"You can see me within the Red Mist!" Demon Charm said in surprise.

"Surprised? Hu Liena, your talent isn't top-tier, yet you're arrogant beyond belief. That describes you perfectly." Without his mother's full support, how strong could she possibly be now?

Hu Liena became irritated from embarrassment. Controlling Demon Charm, she pushed off with one leg and charged at Bibi Han. The Moon Blade slashed down at him from above without the slightest hint of mercy.

"Heh." Bibi Han merely sidestepped and avoided it.

After that, Bibi Han dodged every attack from the Moon Blades.

"Is dodging all you can do?" Demon Charm asked mockingly.

"No. I was only confirming something," Bibi Han replied.

"Confirming something?" Demon Charm was puzzled.

"Your combat skills aren't as good as I imagined." A knowing smile appeared at the corner of Bibi Han's mouth.

His mother had not taken Hu Liena as a disciple, so naturally she could not possess the combat skills that had beaten Tang San senseless in the original story. Na'er, on the other hand, had endless little tricks and techniques for borrowing momentum.

Bibi Han drew out the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand. This time, there was no longer any Blue Silver Grass restriction.

"Your hammer really is the Clear Sky Hammer!" Demon Charm said.

"So what?" Bibi Han pointed his hammer at Demon Charm, utterly unconcerned.

"Take this." Bibi Han raised the hammer and smashed it down.

An ordinary Clear Sky Hammer without Soul Rings at the Soul Ancestor level could still contend with a Soul King-level Moon Blade, much less Bibi Han's hammer. Moreover, Bibi Han was stronger, and Demon Charm was beaten back step by step.

Demon Charm suddenly retreated and threw a Moon Blade. Bibi Han casually knocked it away, then leaped up and brought his hammer down toward Demon Charm's head. Demon Charm blocked with one hand and was forced to his knees. Yet Demon Charm gave a wicked smile. Taking the blow head-on had been deliberate. His Left Hand moved behind him, and the Moon Blade Bibi Han had knocked away flew back, ready to sever Bibi Han's shoulder.

Bibi Han gave a wicked smile as well. He had long trained against attacks from behind. He recalled the Clear Sky Hammer, crouched down, and wrapped several layers of Blue Silver Grass around his legs. Then he braced one hand against the ground and kicked both feet at Demon Charm's stomach.

Faced with the incoming Moon Blade and Bibi Han's feet, Demon Charm caught the Moon Blade with one hand and slashed at Bibi Han's legs with the other. However, his legs had been wrapped in several layers of Blue Silver Grass, so he was not worried about the Moon Blade cutting through them.

Demon Charm was then kicked hard twice by Bibi Han, his body bending into a U-shape as he flew backward.

Bibi Han summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again and said flatly, "Is that all the strength your Martial Soul Fusion Skill has? What a disappointment."

"Don't get too smug. I still have one final move." Demon Charm wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Demon Charm did not seem hurried. He stared at Bibi Han and said, "You are the first person to experience my Self-Created Soul Skill. You should feel honored to be defeated by it."

Bibi Han showed no expression, but he was nearly laughing himself to death inside. Isn't it just the Self-Created Soul Skill Full Moon? He's acting as if it's something incredible.

"Behold, Full Moon." Demon Charm moved. His body spun like a whirlwind. In an instant, both he and the two Moon Blades nearly vanished at the same time. Before Bibi Han stood only a huge white disc.

"You should feel honored too. This is the first time I've used my Second Soul Skill. I don't know whether it will be the last. Blue Silver Shield."

Rows of Blue Silver Grass formed shields that surrounded Demon Charm. If Demon Charm wanted to attack Bibi Han, he could only cut through those shields. That would consume Soul Power and weaken Demon Charm's spinning force. The shields made with the Second Soul Skill were far sturdier than shields Bibi Han made from Blue Silver Grass alone. If he were not facing Full Moon, he might not have used them.

Bibi Han truly did not think much of Full Moon, because its principle was just like the spinning tops he played with as a child. The launch strip of Full Moon was Demon Charm's Soul Power, used to sustain it. As for the so-called lack of flaws, that was even more ridiculous. No move could possibly have no weaknesses. If someone could fly, Demon Charm's Red Mist and Full Moon would be completely useless.

As Demon Charm broke through the shields layer by layer, Bibi Han also began stacking Chaotic Wind strike after strike. He multitasked, continuously creating more shields as well. By the thirty-second hammer strike, Demon Charm finally broke through all the shields and attacked him. Naturally, Bibi Han had allowed it to happen.

Bang! The repeatedly weakened Full Moon could not possibly contend with Bibi Han's Clear Sky Divine Hammer. Demon Charm instantly came apart and flew away. The Red Mist dispersed as well. Xie Yue and Hu Liena suffered severe injuries, both spraying out mouthfuls of blood, their arms broken.

Bibi Han's arm was only slightly numb. Thus, the battle came to an end.
