Gu Yi Plays Dirty

"No!"

Before Gu Yi could refuse, two voices rang out at once—it was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beside him.

"Why not? Setting everything else aside, is my granddaughter Meng Yiran not beautiful enough?" Snake Woman asked in a deep voice.

The moment those words left her mouth, Meng Yiran's cheeks flushed red. Her eyes carried a trace of shyness as she looked at Gu Yi.

She had always liked the strong. Gu Yi was handsome and powerful, and his talent was terrifyingly extraordinary. He had struck straight into her heart.

"Hmph! Beautiful? Is any one of us here inferior to her?" Ning Rongrong shot back disdainfully.

She stepped out from the crowd, as though displaying her beauty.

Snake Woman glanced at her, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Heh. Just a little girl who hasn't even developed yet."

The moment those words came out, Ning Rongrong was enraged!

Wasn't she just one half of the so-called Peerless Dragon Snake? What was she putting on airs for in front of her? She wanted to compare figures, did she?

Ning Rongrong looked around, then fixed her gaze on Zhu Zhuqing nearby. She strode over and pulled her out.

"You want to compare? Come on, then. Compare!" Ning Rongrong challenged.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat embarrassed, at the thought of Gu Yi, she did not step away. Her proud figure completely eclipsed Meng Yiran's.

Snake Woman paid no attention to that. She looked at Ning Rongrong again and sneered once more.

"Heh!"

It was as though she were lamenting Ning Rongrong's "misery"—having nothing herself and needing to seek help from someone else.

"You!" Ning Rongrong felt utterly insulted. She pointed at Snake Woman with her index finger, but could only endure it.

Watching them from the side, Gu Yi was truly speechless. Good heavens, was there not a single person who thought he would win?

Without further thought, he replied to Snake Woman, "Fine, I accept."

The moment he said this, the expressions on Zhao Wuji and the others' faces changed instantly. They all looked at Gu Yi in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Snake Woman burst into laughter, the joy in her heart impossible to conceal.

In her eyes, so long as Gu Yi did not die young, his chances of becoming a Titled Douluo were practically one hundred percent!

And what did a Titled Douluo represent? It meant her clan would directly stand shoulder to shoulder with the Upper Three Sects, just like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Good! Good boy, then let's begin!" Snake Woman said excitedly.

Before this battle had even begun, Snake Woman was certain she would win, just as Zhao Wuji and the others were certain Gu Yi would lose.

"Fine." Gu Yi answered and slowly walked forward, stopping around ten meters away from Snake Woman.

"Boy, in order to make you join my clan, this old woman won't hold back. Take this!"

"Third Soul Skill! Bone-Melting Serpent Spirit!"

As Snake Woman's voice fell, a dark-purple serpent flew from her Serpent Cane, its scarlet eyes locking onto Gu Yi at once.

The next moment, the serpent shot toward Gu Yi with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached him!

But in the very next second, Gu Yi vanished, and the serpent soul skill struck empty air.

"Hm? What's going on? Where is he?" Snake Woman stared wide-eyed in disbelief, hurriedly scanning the surroundings.

"Uh... are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, Gu Yi's voice sounded beside her.

Snake Woman hurriedly turned around, only to see that Gu Yi had somehow returned to his original spot.

"That shouldn't be possible. Something's wrong. Boy, what did you do just now?"

"My Third Soul Skill is a locking skill. Unless you die, once it locks onto you, it should definitely hit."

Snake Woman was deeply perplexed. For the sake of certainty and safety, she had used the soul skill she believed could never miss right from the start, but... why had it turned out like this?

Gu Yi did not answer, merely smiling without a word. This was his secret—how could he casually tell it to others?

"Haha! So that's what this kid was planning. Haha! You really are something, kid."

Zhao Wuji threw back his head and laughed.

Zhao Wuji had understood Gu Yi's move just now. No wonder Gu Yi had been so fearless—the opponent's soul skills simply could not hit him.

As soon as the opponent used a soul skill, Gu Yi would immediately deploy his domain and make himself disappear from this space.

As long as he kept repeating this method, even if the heavens themselves came, they would have no way to deal with Gu Yi!

The others also smiled at this point. They had all seen Gu Yi use his domain before. Unless Gu Yi dispelled it himself, they could not find him at all.

"Damn it. Judging by their expressions, this brat must have played me."

Snake Woman's expression was extremely ugly. She racked her brains for a way to attack Gu Yi, but even a locking skill had failed. What could she do now?

"Forget it! Boy, I refuse to believe I can't hit you today!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Serpent Transformation into Thousands!"

Snake Woman slammed her Serpent Cane fiercely into the ground. In an instant, thousands upon thousands of little purple snakes burst out from the earth, every pair of scarlet eyes locked onto Gu Yi.

The next moment, they all lunged at Gu Yi at the same time, falling madly like a sudden downpour.

They crashed into the ground where Gu Yi had once stood and exploded with a boom. Every little snake was like a poisonous gas bomb; the instant they exploded, toxic mist blanketed the entire area.

However, it did not spread under Snake Woman's control, so it did not affect anyone else.

Snake Woman's plan was simple. Since she could not hit him, she would use the poisonous mist to corrode him when he returned.

You may have your clever schemes, but I have my own way around them.

Today, she would make Gu Yi understand that experience trumped youth!

Yet when the toxic mist dispersed, Gu Yi was still standing in his original spot, completely unharmed. He wore a smile, as though he had not been affected in the slightest.

But faintly, it seemed as though he was chewing something in his mouth.

"Only one move remains. Come on, Senior Snake Woman," Gu Yi said calmly, standing where he was.

Snake Woman's face turned livid. She clenched the Serpent Cane in both hands, yet she had no idea what she could do. Now, she truly had no way whatsoever to deal with Gu Yi.

"Sigh! Let's leave it at that. You can have this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. This old woman has lost this match," Snake Woman said helplessly with a sigh.

She patted Meng Yiran on the shoulder, gave Gu Yi another deep look, then left with Meng Yiran.

Though reluctant, a loss was a loss. Snake Woman was not so shameless that she would break her word.

"Come on, let's find your grandfather. This boy absolutely must join our clan!"

"Wah! Gu Yi! My good brother!"

Just as the two turned to leave, Oscar hurried over to Gu Yi and cheered.

Gu Yi smiled helplessly.

"You should hurry up and absorb the soul ring. Don't let any more trouble arise."

Hearing that, Oscar did not hesitate. He had no intention of handing such a fine soul ring over to someone else.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji walked over to Gu Yi again and patted him on the back.

"Kid Gu, your martial soul is a Bone Dragon, and this is your fourth soul ring. What kind of soul beast do you want?"
