Xiao Wu

Although Luo Yan had never met the little girl, the moment he saw her, a name surfaced in his mind.

Xiao Wu!

Taking her under my wing and evolving her into a true demonic beast, while also gaining a trump card for self-preservation—this seems pretty good!

And this Breath Concealment Art is perfect for hiding the aura of a demonic beast...

Looking at the system task, the corners of Luo Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

Luo Yan guessed that since soul beasts in human form still carried the aura of a soul beast, which powerful soul masters could detect, he, as a demonic beast, would certainly have a demonic beast aura as well.

If he were discovered, it might hinder his ability to collect resentment points.

This Breath Concealment Art had come at just the right time.

Putting his thoughts aside, Luo Yan quickly packed his things, then stepped out and quietly followed them.

He trailed behind Tang San and Xiao Wu for a while before arriving in front of a massive, three-story domed building.

The building was brown overall, with a golden-edged sword emblem hanging above the entrance, and the interior was spacious and bright.

The long sword indicated that this building was the Notting City Martial Soul Hall Branch.

Two gatekeepers in uniforms sat beside the main entrance.

So the little brat is coming to the Martial Soul Hall to register and fleece them. The moment he saw the Martial Soul Hall branch, Luo Yan guessed the purpose of Tang San's visit.

This time, Tang San was not blocked by the gatekeepers due to his protagonist halo and successfully entered the Martial Soul Hall.

Seeing Tang San enter the hall, Luo Yan pondered for a moment before following him inside.

It wasn't that he wanted to register as a soul master like Tang San; he wanted to take this opportunity to harvest a wave of resentment points!

After entering, Luo Yan saw that there were quite a few soul masters lingering in the hall, seemingly waiting for tasks assigned by the Martial Soul Hall.

The Martial Soul Hall would sometimes post tasks for other soul masters to help complete.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were currently having their soul power tested under the guidance of a branch deacon and did not notice Luo Yan entering at first.

Many soul masters also had their eyes fixed on them.

After all, given Tang San and Xiao Wu's young age, these soul masters were very curious about whether they had truly become soul masters.

"Thirteen!"

By the time Luo Yan arrived not far behind Tang San, Tang San had already finished his test.

"Tang San, you're amazing! You reached level thirteen so quickly!" Standing beside Tang San, Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised when she heard the test result.

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had undergone reincarnation, she really hadn't expected a human to be able to compete with her cultivation speed.

"Just luck. I reached level thirteen after absorbing my first soul ring..."

Facing Xiao Wu's praise, Tang San, who had just stepped into society, rubbed his hair in embarrassment.

After speaking, he stepped aside and gestured for Xiao Wu to come forward for the test: "Xiao Wu, it's your turn. You shouldn't be any worse!"

Tang San didn't know what level Xiao Wu's soul power had reached, but he knew she also possessed innate full soul power and had absorbed her first yellow soul ring, so her soul power shouldn't be lower than his.

"Of course, Tang San, just watch!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu gave a playful smile.

She walked up to the deacon and, like Tang San, placed her small hand on the soul power crystal.

Instantly, the soul power crystal bloomed with a dazzling light.

"Thirteen!"

"Both of you can register as soul masters in the Martial Soul Hall. Wait here for a moment while I go handle the paperwork for you!"

After the light faded, the deacon announced the result upon seeing the soul power level.

With that, he turned and walked into the depths of the hall.

Clap, clap, clap!

As soon as the deacon left, a round of applause rang out in the hall.

Luo Yan walked toward the two of them while clapping.

Stopping in front of them, before Tang San could speak, he smiled and said, "To be a soul master at such a young age, little girl, your future is truly limitless!"

At the same time, Luo Yan cast a playful glance at Tang San.

"You're courting death! I didn't expect you to dare show your face here!"

Seeing Luo Yan appear, Tang San was instantly enraged, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at him.

His right hand, tucked into his sleeve, had already gripped a set of metal equipment—the very first hidden weapon he had crafted since arriving in this world: the Sleeve Arrow.

[Tang San recalls past humiliations and harbors killing intent toward you, resentment points +1000!]

[Tang San feels jealous because you praised Xiao Wu, resentment points +800!]

[...]

Satisfying!

Listening to the system notifications constantly ringing in his mind, Luo Yan felt a wave of satisfaction.

Although he did not know why Tang San, a mere Soul Master, could provide the same amount of resentment points as a Soul Grand Master, Luo Yan did not care.

However, this also weakened Luo Yan's urge to kill Tang San directly.

Pretending not to hear Tang San's threat, Luo Yan slowly walked up to him, placed his right hand on Tang San's shoulder, and leaned in to whisper into his ear:

"Little San, did that trash Yu Xiaogang not tell you who I am?"

"You should be calling me Martial Uncle when you see me!"

"Hehehe!"

After saying this, Luo Yan even patted Tang San on the shoulder.

Hearing Luo Yan's words, Tang San's expression turned even gloomier.

His left hand instantly swatted away the hand Luo Yan had placed on his shoulder, and his right palm turned into cold jade as he struck Luo Yan's chest.

Luo Yan noticed the moment Tang San made his move.

However, he did not react at all, letting Tang San strike his body.

Bang!

Luo Yan's body did not budge an inch; instead, Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand was repelled by the recoil, causing him to stumble back two steps.

Yet, Tang San was not stunned by Luo Yan's strength; as he was forced back, he fired his Sleeve Arrow from his cuff.

Swish! Swish!

Worried that Luo Yan might dodge, Tang San fired two shots in quick succession.

Facing the Sleeve Arrow, Luo Yan was extremely cautious and did not try to tank it with his physical body alone.

He first shifted his body to the right to dodge the first shot, then gathered spiritual energy into his palm to swat the second Sleeve Arrow away.

With his spiritual defense combined with his physical toughness, the Sleeve Arrow, despite its immense piercing power, failed to break through all his defenses.

However, the Sleeve Arrow still left a slight scratch on Luo Yan's palm.

Seeing Luo Yan easily neutralize his Sleeve Arrow, Tang San felt a moment of panic.

Slap!

Before Tang San could recover, Luo Yan had already arrived in front of him and slapped him across the cheek, sending him flying.

"Bastard, how dare you hurt Tang San!"

At that moment, Xiao Wu, who had been standing beside Tang San, finally snapped out of it and shouted at Luo Yan.

As she finished speaking, her body turned into a blur, appearing to Luo Yan's right in the next second. She leaped high into the air, her right leg sweeping toward Luo Yan's neck.

Luo Yan glanced at Xiao Wu and reached out to grab her calf.

As expected of a beast undergoing reincarnation, her foot was truly tender!

Seeing her attack caught so easily, Xiao Wu was not discouraged.

Using the force from Luo Yan's hand, she vaulted over his head, her other leg nimbly locking around his neck.

Then, riding on Luo Yan's shoulders, she pulled hard on her other calf, attempting to choke him.
