Rakshasa and Asura!

Late at night, Yu Tianjun suddenly woke and looked out the window.

He naturally could not sleep too deeply here. At the slightest disturbance, he would wake.

Listening to the faint cries of battle and slaughter, Yu Tianjun frowned and swiftly darted outside.

"What's going on over there?"

Yu Tianjun suddenly seized someone and demanded coldly.

"Uh... uh."

The man's face reddened from suffocation, panic filling his heart as he felt the strength of Yu Tianjun's grip.

"A woman came."

Yu Tianjun loosened his grip slightly.

"Explain clearly."

"A very beautiful woman came. Everyone went to fight over her, but it seems a lot of people died."

The man in Yu Tianjun's grasp said with difficulty.

"Get lost."

With a casual toss, Yu Tianjun hurled the man against the wall.

There were neither too many nor too few people in Slaughter City. Every entry into the Hell Slaughter Arena required killing one person, so he had to conserve his kills. Otherwise, it would be hard to find people later.

"Sigh, life is hard. Even killing people has to be done sparingly."

Yu Tianjun sighed and turned back into his room.

He was not ruled by lust. He had no interest in some beautiful woman.

No matter how beautiful she was, could she be more beautiful than Bibi Dong?

Yu Tianjun turned back toward his room, but the instant he stepped through the door, he caught sight of a familiar leg from the corner of his eye.

It was a leg without the slightest aesthetic appeal, even somewhat horrifying. Yu Tianjun recognized it at once because he had seen it before.

Isn't that Bibi Dong's spider leg after Martial Soul Possession?!

Yu Tianjun rubbed his forehead. Why was she everywhere?

Having run into an acquaintance, Yu Tianjun did not go inside. He remained where he was and watched her turn the corner.

All eight spider legs were covered in blood. The longsword in her hand had already been chipped and curled, and who knew which unlucky bastard she had taken it from.

It really was Bibi Dong. However, her face no longer held the appearance of the young girl he had seen before. Instead, it was full of coldness, stripped of its former vitality.

After enduring Spirit Hall's pursuit and the disgusting scenes of Slaughter City, Bibi Dong had already hidden her true heart away.

"Hm? Yu Tianjun?"

Bibi Dong instantly broke character, her face filled with shock.

"You too? I can run into you here?"

"I'm surprised too."

Yu Tianjun shrugged.

Bibi Dong tossed away the longsword in her hand, her expression becoming somewhat warm.

Seeing an acquaintance in a hellish place like this truly felt especially comforting.

"You were right before. My master really was keeping an eye on me. He discovered my escape after only three days."

Bibi Dong spoke openly.

"You escaped Spirit Hall?"

Yu Tianjun was somewhat surprised. This had not happened in the original story, had it?

Bibi Dong admitted it without hesitation.

"That's right. Left with no choice, I could only come here. I just don't know what I'll do after getting out."

Bibi Dong looked somewhat melancholy. She had grown up in Spirit Hall, and suddenly leaving it behind was truly difficult to adjust to.

But what else could she do? If she remained in Spirit Hall, she might lose her chastity at any moment.

"Take it easy. The world is vast; where couldn't you go? Besides, once you become strong enough, you can just seize Spirit Hall for yourself. Your master is a rotten person anyway."

Yu Tianjun's words startled Bibi Dong. Although she had escaped, she had never considered killing her own master.

Though she suspected Qian Xunji's character, he had not actually done such a thing. Bibi Dong felt she could not bring herself to act against him.

Yu Tianjun said no more. "Find somewhere to rest. I hope I don't run into you in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Everyone here is crazy, and it's impossible to find anyone to talk to."

Yu Tianjun waved his hand and walked straight into his room.

Outside, Bibi Dong's expression shifted between light and dark before quickly returning to calm.

She was Bibi Dong, after all, a peerless genius of her generation. She would not remain trapped by this matter forever. If she had left Spirit Hall, then so be it. She would not regret her choice.

After killing her way into the room beside Yu Tianjun's, Bibi Dong claimed it for herself. She even found several women outside to clean it.

Bibi Dong's Martial Soul possessed venomous and sinister traits, so she was not afraid of those women trying anything.

Day after day passed, and Yu Tianjun and Bibi Dong both made names for themselves.

Yu Tianjun achieved forty-five consecutive victories and killed more than three hundred people. After every victory, he would kill several more people upon leaving. He had already entered the top twenty of the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Because his methods were ruthless and he never left corpses intact, he earned the name Asura.

Bibi Dong was no less impressive. She had achieved forty-two consecutive victories, earning the name Rakshasa because of her appearance during Martial Soul Possession.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Flender stood with his hands behind his back, looking somewhat melancholy.

"In the end, I'm still not suited to clan life."

Flender muttered to himself, then scratched his head in frustration.

"They've given me so many benefits and even helped me hunt Soul Rings. Leaving like this wouldn't be right..."

"Forget it. I'll go out and take a look first. The clan has treated me well. Even if I want to continue adventuring outside, I should repay their kindness first."

Flender made up his mind, activated Martial Soul Possession, and flew toward the mountain gate.

All young people wanted to venture out into the world, and someone as free-spirited as Flender was naturally no exception.

Now that he no longer faced the immediate concern of being unable to obtain suitable Soul Rings, the desire to adventure rose within his heart once more.

Spirit City.

Yu Xiaogang was buried in the library, and he was feeling quite pleased with himself.

After being frightened by Yu Tianjun, his emotions had fluctuated too intensely. Yet misfortune had turned into fortune, and he had met a girl with a lizard Martial Soul.

The moment they met, they felt that strange stirring between their Martial Souls.

Yu Xiaogang had read plenty of books, so he immediately guessed that it might be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Unfortunately, though there were signs of it, they simply could not successfully complete it.

Even so, they could confirm that their Martial Souls truly had the potential to unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This put Yu Xiaogang in an excellent mood, and he even took the opportunity to break through to level twenty.

"Just where are we falling short?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the book in his hand, while the girl sat on the other side.

The girl was called Bai Xiuxiu, and her Martial Soul was the Flame Spirit Lizard.

Bai Xiuxiu's talent was ordinary. She had thought her life would remain that way, but she had unexpectedly encountered an opportunity to change her fate through a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Naturally, she did not want to miss it, so she studied with Yu Xiaogang every day.

"I feel like our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is missing something."

Yu Xiaogang spoke in a low voice.

Bai Xiuxiu frowned.

"Then what do we do? Give up?"

"Of course we can't give up. But in this situation, we can only keep trying. I suspect our Soul Power isn't enough, which is why we can't release it. Let's see how we can make up for this weakness."

Bai Xiuxiu and Yu Xiaogang were both two-ringed Soul Grandmasters now. Bai Xiuxiu believed the explanation of insufficient Soul Power to some extent as well.

"Maybe we can find another person whose Martial Soul is compatible with ours. Perhaps that would immediately make up for this weakness."

Bai Xiuxiu said it casually, but Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

"That's right! We can find another person whose Martial Soul is compatible with ours!"

"Huh? No, how could someone like that be so easy to find?"

Bai Xiuxiu was helpless, but with hope now present, she did not want to give up either. The two had also reached the level to enter an advanced academy, so they simply took this gap in time to go out and train, hoping to find a suitable person.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head and looked at the dim sky, his eyes flickering.

"Heaven has treated me well. Though my talent is a little low, I now have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I still have a chance in this life to surpass Yu Tianjun."

"If Heaven truly pities me, then let me find a suitable candidate during this training trip!"
