"Teaching" Tang Wutong a Lesson

Tang Wutong gritted her silver teeth. This bastard really did know her true gender. Shame and annoyance flooded her heart, but she could only glare fiercely at Xiao Yi like a petulant child, though the effect was no more intimidating than a pout.

Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged: "You're glaring at me, are you? Just wait, I'll make sure you have a good time later."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's begin." The atmosphere remained somewhat silent and strange. Xiao Yi smiled to break the tension, signaling that he would act as a sparring partner for the three of them, and gave Tang Ya a meaningful look.

Tang Ya understood in a second; one turn of her mind and she knew exactly what Xiao Yi was planning.

"Then, Xiao Yi, Nannan and I will head back to meditate and cultivate first." With that, Tang Ya pulled the still-bewildered Jiang Nannan away.

Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head. Tang Ya could always sync up with his wavelength, though the feeling was indeed quite comfortable.

He then turned to face the three of them. Tang Wutong had likely regained her composure. Last night, she had chatted all night in her female voice, and Xiao Yi had simply listened without exposing her, purely teasing her for fun.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao nodded slowly, their expressions solemn. Even though it was just a sparring session, they still hoped Xiao Yi would unleash some of his true strength.

Tang Wutong, however, was still gnashing her teeth as she glared at Xiao Yi, shooting him a vicious look before stomping onto the stage.

"Yutong, does Wulin actually like Big Brother Xiao Yi?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask slowly; that look of his was just...

"Pfft, hahaha, Yu Tong, just tell Xiao Xiao yourself; you've already performed a martial soul fusion with him, so I'm sure you've realized it by now." Xiao Yi finally couldn't hold it in anymore. How could this child Xiao Xiao be so adorably dense?

Huo Yutong scratched her head in embarrassment. She had assumed it was just some elaborate game between Xiao Yi and Tang Wulin, so she gave Xiao Xiao an awkward smile.

"Wulin is actually a girl. She's just cross-dressing."

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, a look of visible disappointment appeared on Xiao Xiao's face.

What exactly are you disappointed about...

Xiao Yi did not summon his Martial Soul, instead condensing soul power into a long spear in his hand and standing his ground.

The three of Tang Wutong formed a triangular formation, with Tang Wutong at the front and Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong standing behind her.

Tang Wutong's feet rose with one yellow and one purple soul ring, and a pair of gorgeous blue-gold butterfly wings manifested behind her, breathtakingly beautiful. Behind Huo Yutong, the phantom of a vertical eye appeared, golden patterns emerged on her forehead, and a white soul ring rose at her feet. Xiao Xiao held a massive golden cauldron floating in her hands that looked completely disproportionate to her size.

Tang Wutong let out a cold snort, spread her wings, and utilized her aerial advantage to launch a torrential storm of attacks at Xiao Yi, shouting as she did so.

"Xiao Xiao, Yutong, assist me in fighting him; don't make a move yet." Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, and a wave of mental energy covered the three of them as Spirit Detection Sharing was activated.

Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Shaking Cauldron split into three, circling the two people locked in combat at the center.

With the aid of Spirit Detection Sharing, Tang Wutong's strikes were incredibly ruthless, not like a sparring match at all, but more like she was venting her anger. Her razor-sharp butterfly wings danced, every strike heavy and powerful, and the angles of her attacks were extremely tricky, consistently aiming for Xiao Yi's lower body.

Xiao Yi's face turned dark from the girl's attacks. What kind of grudge did she have against him?

A cunning smile appeared on Tang Wutong's face. She was, of course, doing it on purpose. Who told this guy to watch her make a fool of herself even after finding out her gender? She spread her wings, her second soul ring flickered, and golden light blades converged into a golden orb, bombarding Xiao Yi.

Xiao Xiao also seized the moment, her Three Lives Soul-Shaking Cauldron erupting with dazzling light as a wave of soul power carrying vibrational force attacked Xiao Yi.

Facing the pincer attack, Xiao Yi remained unhurried. His figure flickered like a ghost, faint arcs of electricity dancing on his body. With a flash, even Huo Yutong's Spirit Detection failed to capture his position.

"What?"

"Such fast speed!" Everyone was shocked by the speed Xiao Yi displayed. And this was without Zi Ling possessing him; if she were, he would be even faster.

His footwork actually incorporated the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Ever since he agreed to become the Tang Sect Master, Tang Ya had handed it all over to him. Xiao Yi hadn't practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but he had already mastered the basics of the Purple Demon Eye and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

"Wulin! Watch out behind you!"

"What!?" Hearing Huo Yutong's warning from behind, Xiao Yi's figure finally appeared in the Spirit Detection Sharing.

In truth, pure speed alone couldn't evade Spirit Detection, but one shouldn't forget that Xiao Yi's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils also possessed inherent mental attributes.

Tang Wutong scrambled to turn and defend, but it was already too late. She had no choice but to curl up, using her butterfly wings to shield most of her body.

However, Xiao Yi didn't use his soul power spear to attack her. He flicked his wrist, the spear vanished, and he turned his fist into a palm, striking at the area not covered by her wings with a mischievous smirk on his face.

Tang Wutong felt a tingling sensation spread throughout her entire body. Her face flushed bright red. She stumbled in mid-air, dodging Xiao Yi's second attack, and landed beside Huo Yutong and the others, trembling all over. She covered her backside with one hand, hunched over like a cooked shrimp, and pointed a trembling finger at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi landed gracefully, looking at her with a beaming smile.

"Xiao Yi, you jerk! Yutong, use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Before Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao could recover from their brain fog, Tang Wutong let out a cry filled with shame and anger.

This bastard had actually spanked her, and the pain in her backside was accompanied by a lingering tingling sensation that washed over her whole body.

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao snapped out of the recent turn of events. The Three Lives Soul-Shaking Cauldron smashed toward Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi simply chuckled, condensed the soul power spear in his hand once more, and with a single heavy sweep, sent the cauldron flying.

"What?"

Tang Wutong and Huo Yutong clasped their hands together, their soul power intertwining and merging. The butterfly phantom and the Spirit Eye slowly drew closer, but just as they were about to succeed, the Xiao Yi before them turned into a bolt of lightning and vanished.

How stupid would he have to be to get hit by a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with such a long wind-up? Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent seemed to love taking skills head-on.

Special mention to a certain Titled Douluo who took a divine artifact with his head.

"Where is he?" Tang Wutong looked up and found Xiao Yi missing. Just as she was about to search for him, she felt a chill behind her. Then, that familiar sensation came from behind, a heavy blow landed, followed by that same tingling feeling. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was forced to interrupt, and Tang Wutong's body went limp, collapsing to the ground like a caterpillar with its rear end in the air.

These two consecutive strikes seemed to have flipped a strange switch, leaving her mind completely blank.

Xiao Xiao, who had just been preparing to counterattack, and the dazed Huo Yutong both felt their foreheads flicked, and they both cried out in pain, clutching their heads.

Huo Yutong looked at Xiao Yi with a wronged expression, while Xiao Xiao looked at him with deep resentment.

"Alright, it's over." Xiao Yi patted his slightly reddened hand and stepped forward to ruffle Huo Yutong's small head. Huo Yutong's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she instinctively rubbed against Xiao Yi's palm like a little blue kitten.

Xiao Xiao's expression grew even more resentful, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to give the little green-haired girl a few pats as well.

Glancing at Tang Wutong, who was still lying on the ground with a broken expression, Xiao Yi felt puzzled. He had been pushed to the limit by this girl, who kept aiming for his lower body; she had to be taught a lesson.

But those two taps weren't even that heavy, were they? Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

(Reached the new book list, added two extra chapters. It was supposed to be four, but the pre-review didn't pass, got sanctioned.)
