Back then, when Tang San went with Su Yu to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings, he had witnessed Su Yu's prowess firsthand.

At the time, Su Yu said he would find a suitable soul beast for Tang San, and Tang San let him go ahead. As a result, Su Yu stood before a group of soul beasts and shouted that same line, and then the two of them were chased all over the mountain by a large herd of soul beasts.

Inside the arena, the Succubus Duo was nearly driven mad by Su Yu. The two immediately released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Seeing this, Lin Rou also released her Martial Soul and Soul Rings. An ice flower condensed in Lin Rou's hand. Ultimate Ice had no fixed form; Lin Rou's Ultimate Ice took the shape of a flower simply because she liked flowers, so she had condensed it into that form.

The Succubus Duo's Martial Souls were identical, named Ghost Face Demon, a very eerie beast-type Martial Soul with extremely potent poison attributes.

First Soul Skill, Poison Mist!

The two released their first soul skill simultaneously. Opening their mouths, they spewed clouds of green mist that quickly engulfed the entire arena.

Lin Rou immediately lit up her first soul ring and released her first soul skill, Ice Seal.

Lin Rou was only at level twenty-eight, but the range of her Ice Seal had already reached a radius of two hundred meters. A layer of ice began to spread from beneath her feet, rapidly expanding outward.

Before long, the entire arena turned into a frozen wasteland. The Succubus Duo and their Poison Mist were both frozen solid—after all, mist was essentially water, easily sealed by ice.

The Succubus Duo's clothes were already thin, and with everything around them frozen, they immediately felt the cold. Gusts of wind blew against them, biting to the bone.

One of them rubbed her arms and said, "Sister, we need to finish this quickly. It's way too cold."

The other girl nodded. "Let's use that move directly."

They nodded at each other, then turned back-to-back, clasping their hands together. In unison, they shouted, "Two-Faced Ghost Demon!"

In an instant, their soul power blazed brightly, and their Martial Souls merged into one, forming a massive Ghost Face Demon. But this one was different—it had two faces!

The Two-Faced Ghost Demon grinned viciously at Su Yu and Lin Rou, then stuck out its tongue.

Su Yu stared at the Two-Faced Ghost Demon, clutching his chest. "Oh my god, why is this thing so ugly? I'm about to throw up."

The Two-Faced Ghost Demon froze at Su Yu's words, then flew into a rage, screeching madly at him.

Sssss—

The Two-Faced Ghost Demon charged straight at Su Yu on the ground. Su Yu, seeing it rushing toward him, yelled in fright, "Whoa there, you ugly freak, stay away from me!"

Sss!

The Two-Faced Ghost Demon was practically fuming with anger. It swung a palm directly at Su Yu, who met it with a punch.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the Two-Faced Ghost Demon was sent flying several meters. Being knocked back was one thing, but what infuriated it was seeing Su Yu hopping and skipping over to Lin Rou, shouting, "Oh no, oh no, little Rou, I touched that ugly thing! Hurry up and freeze my hand—it's disgusting!"

As he spoke, Su Yu looked at the hand that had punched the Two-Faced Ghost Demon with utter disdain.

If the Two-Faced Ghost Demon had lungs, Su Yu would have made it explode from rage. An eerie, cold aura suddenly emanated from the Ghost Face Demon as it ground its teeth and hissed, "Die!"

Su Yu blinked, then asked in confusion, "This monster can talk? Martial Souls can talk? Since when?"

"Ahhh!" The Two-Faced Ghost Demon roared and charged at Su Yu again. Su Yu laughed. "Not bad, you're twice as strong as before. But... what's the use?"

With that, Su Yu leaped up, executed a spinning kick, and struck the Two-Faced Ghost Demon square in the face. The demon was kicked apart in an instant, and the Succubus Duo's soul power was completely drained. The host stood stunned for a long moment before declaring the Yu Rou Combination the victors.

After Su Yu dragged Lin Rou away, the crowd still hadn't snapped out of it. They had witnessed a Martial Soul... speaking for the first time!

Back in the rest area, Ma Hongjun once again hugged Su Yu's leg. "Yu Ge, tell me the truth—are you a god? You can even make Martial Souls talk!"

Su Yu covered his forehead, tilting his head forty-five degrees toward the sky. "I originally wanted to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to find out. Yes, I am... a god!"

"...damn fool," Xiao Wu finished after Su Yu said "god."

"Pfft." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Dai Mubai spoke up. "Let's go. It's getting late; we should head back."

Tang San asked, "Where's the dean?"

"Who knows? He said we should go back on our own after the match. Let's head back." Dai Mubai waved his hand.

Everyone nodded and left the Great Soul Arena.

Out on the street, Ma Hongjun suddenly said, "You guys go ahead. The dean told me to stop by his shop."

As he spoke, a glint of excitement flickered in his small eyes.

Dai Mubai gave a knowing smirk. "We'll head back then. Take it easy."

Ma Hongjun nodded with a grin. Just as he was about to leave, Su Yu suddenly spoke up. "Fatty, come find me in a couple of days. I'll help you with your Martial Soul problem."

Ma Hongjun looked at Su Yu and laughed. "Yu Ge, even the dean couldn't fix my Martial Soul issue. Don't bother wasting your time. But I appreciate the thought."

Su Yu patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "If you trust me, find some time to come see me." With that, Su Yu walked off first, and the others followed.

Ma Hongjun stood there in a daze for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Might as well go. It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat..."

The next morning, Ma Hongjun arrived at Su Yu and Tang San's dorm. Tang San was already up, but Su Yu was still sound asleep—waking up early was out of the question; sleep should be until you naturally wake up.

Ma Hongjun knocked on the door. Tang San opened it and saw him. "Fatty, here to see Xiao Yu?"

Ma Hongjun nodded. "Well, letting Yu Ge take a look won't cost me anything, so I figured I'd just let him give it a shot."

Tang San smiled and patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder. "Fatty, trust me—Xiao Yu won't let you down. Go wake him up. I'll head out first."

With that, Tang San left. Over the years, though Tang San didn't know exactly who Su Yu was, he knew Su Yu was no ordinary person.

Hearing Tang San say that Su Yu might be able to solve his problem, a glimmer of hope rose in Ma Hongjun's heart.
