"Sound Localization, as the name suggested, meant using hearing to determine a target's position. When the lighting was poor and your eyes couldn't see the target's exact location, you could launch the Soul Breaking Needles by relying on your hearing. That way, your attacks wouldn't have any blind spots and would be even more concealed.
"And I noticed your Martial Soul is a Serpent Cane, and your Soul Power is gray. Is it poisonous?
"If you coated these crystal pellets with your snake venom, their power would be even greater. Even Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders would be injured if caught off guard!"
Tie Xiong held Meng Yiran's hand, which was smooth and delicate.
Meng Yiran considered it seriously and found that it made a lot of sense.
"Little brother, you really know a lot. I don't even know your name yet. I'm Meng Yiran, ten and a half years old, an eighteenth-level one-ring Soul Master. My Martial Soul is the Serpent Cane!"
Meng Yiran's crisp voice rang out.
"My name is Tie Xiong. I'm seven years old, my Martial Soul is the Heaven Breaking Hammer, and I just obtained my first Soul Ring!" Tie Xiong said with a grin.
Meng Yiran's expression changed, and she abruptly pulled her hand back.
Tie Xiong had kept hold of her hand all this time. Now, she was certain that he had been taking advantage of her. Though young, he was incredibly sly.
Meng Yiran said with faint anger, "Have you touched enough? If my grandfather and grandmother saw you acting like this, they'd send you flying with one strike of their Serpent Cane!"
"They're nearby too?" Tie Xiong hurriedly asked.
"There's a Golden Crocodile nearby. My grandmother has broken through to level sixty, Soul Emperor, and is hunting that soul beast for a Soul Ring!" Meng Yiran said with a smile.
"What? What a coincidence! My academy's teachers came to hunt that Golden Crocodile too!" Tie Xiong did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Shrek Academy and the Dragon and Snake of Peerless must have had a grudge in their past lives.
It was too much of a coincidence.
"Ah!" Meng Yiran's dark brown eyes widened to their limit, and her mouth fell open as well.
Then she came to her senses and said proudly, "Your teachers definitely can't beat my grandfather and grandmother. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon-Snake Combined Strike, can rival a Title Douluo!"
Tie Xiong wanted to say that she was boasting too wildly. Her grandmother did not even have her sixtieth-level Soul Ring yet, and the two of them together could fight a Title Douluo? He did not believe it.
On this side, there was the fox-cunning Flender, the notorious Zhao Wuji, as well as Lu Qibin of the control system and Shao Xin of the food system. Even if they could not win, they certainly would not suffer a loss.
Still, he did not refute Meng Yiran's words.
As Tie Xiong pondered, the Serpent Cane Martial Soul suddenly appeared in Meng Yiran's right hand, and her Soul Ring lit up.
First Soul Ring skill: Tongue Blade.
From the tip of the more-than-one-meter-long Serpent Cane, a two-foot-long snake blade shot out and attacked Tie Xiong.
Since the two were standing so close, the snake blade came at him in an instant.
But Tie Xiong's reaction speed was extremely fast. He pushed off with his feet and drifted backward several meters, while the Heaven Breaking Hammer appeared in his right hand.
"Meng Yiran, you brought this hammering on yourself!" Tie Xiong shouted.
He immediately unleashed a full-force blow against Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane.
Tie Xiong stood firm, then charged forward again.
Meng Yiran, however, retreated two steps.
In Tie Xiong's view, Meng Yiran also possessed a weapon Martial Soul. Although her first soul skill, Tongue Blade, could achieve the effect of a surprise attack,
it had no advantage at all against his Heaven Breaking Hammer, because his strength was simply too great.
Meng Yiran was shocked once again.
The reason she had suddenly attacked was because she had heard Tie Xiong say that his teachers were also hunting the Golden Crocodile. She wanted to strike first and capture Tie Xiong.
Then, once her grandfather and grandmother clashed with his teachers, they would have leverage over them.
She, Meng Yiran, had been taught by the Dragon and Snake of Peerless. If anyone thought she was truly a harmless little girl, they would be gravely mistaken.
At the very least, she was exceptionally skilled at changing her expression as quickly as turning a page.
She simply had not expected that, despite having just obtained his first Soul Ring, Tie Xiong would possess such great strength. After exchanging one blow, she had actually lost.
She was a full seven levels higher than Tie Xiong.
In truth, she did not know that the difference between their levels was not so great.
Tie Xiong's Soul Power had not yet been tested, but it was at least level twelve, perhaps even level thirteen.
Her advantage was not as great as she imagined.
Meng Yiran also had abundant combat experience.
Seeing Tie Xiong attack again, she flicked both hands slightly. Her Serpent Cane transformed into eight streaks of light that shot toward Tie Xiong.
The eight streaks of light shifted between real and illusory, and each carried domineering Soul Power.
Tie Xiong focused his spiritual power, but he still could not distinguish which attack was real and which was false.
But he had a way to deal with it.
After their earlier exchange, he had already judged that Meng Yiran's strength was far inferior to his own.
He did not need to exert much force to defeat Meng Yiran in a direct clash.
"Seal!"
Tie Xiong held the Heaven Breaking Hammer, and the speed at which he swung it increased greatly. He actually spun it around himself so tightly that not even water could pass through.
He sealed off every attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Eight collisions rang out. Relying on his rapid hammer technique, Tie Xiong broke Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane assault.
Tie Xiong would not give Meng Yiran another chance to react and use Hidden Weapons.
Pressing his advantage, he launched a rapid attack on Meng Yiran.
"Take this hammer!"
Tie Xiong gathered all his strength and, borrowing the force from the previous eight clashes, unleashed a full-power strike.
Meng Yiran also sensed the power of this hammer blow.
Somewhat panicked, gray Soul Power circulated throughout her body. Her first Soul Ring lit up again as she met the attack with Tongue Blade.
With a sharp screech, the two quickly separated.
"Wonderful! Let's see how many hammer blows you can take! I've wanted to hammer you for a long time. You actually dared to attack me first!"
Borrowing the force, Tie Xiong charged forward again.
This time, Meng Yiran could no longer withstand it.
Because the Heaven Breaking Hammer now carried over a thousand jin of force.
With a bang, Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane flew from her hand.
Her delicate body was also knocked several meters away. She crashed to the ground, and it felt as though her internal organs had been turned upside down.
Tie Xiong pounced forward and pressed Meng Yiran beneath him. He raised the Heaven Breaking Hammer high in his right hand, as though he were about to smash it down at any moment.
"How was my hammer technique, big sister?"
Feeling the softness beneath him, Tie Xiong asked with an honest-looking expression.
"You—" Meng Yiran's beautiful face looked somewhat pale, then quickly flushed red.
That position was far too suggestive.
"Curious why your snake venom didn't work?" Tie Xiong chuckled.
When their hammer and Serpent Cane collided earlier, Tie Xiong's breathing and Martial Soul hammer had inevitably come into contact with Meng Yiran's snake venom.
"One of my teachers is a food-system Soul Emperor. I ate a poison-resisting Sugar Bean earlier!" Tie Xiong said smugly to himself.
"You win, all right? Why aren't you getting off me?" Meng Yiran snapped.
"That won't do. You attacked me first!"
"Then what else do you want?" Meng Yiran demanded angrily.
After clashing with Tie Xiong so many times, her whole body still hurt.
Her eyes immediately reddened. She had never suffered such a huge loss in all her life.
