The three people in the sky stared blankly at the two women below.
Tang San, who had unwavering faith in Yu Gang, couldn't make sense of it.
If Tian Yue didn't have Innate Level 20 Soul Power, how could she have cultivated so quickly?
Although he hadn't cultivated diligently back in Nuoding City, he had possessed an unparalleled technique—the Mysterious Heaven Skill!
How could a tiny native outclass him in talent?
Oscar and Xiao Wu both hesitated.
"Third Brother, what should we do now?"
"If we rely entirely on Xiao Ao's Mushroom Sausage, we'll definitely be at a disadvantage!"
Tang San suppressed his confusion and began thinking of a way to turn things around.
Oscar had no offensive abilities at all. They could only rely on him and Xiao Wu.
On the platform, Tian Yue faced Hu Liena and waved a fist.
"Big Sister Nana, just back me up for now. Let me get a taste of the action too."
Hu Liena was happy to take it easy and stepped back twice.
Seeing this, Tang San thought his chance had come.
"Xiao Wu, I'll use Hidden Weapons to make Tian Yue show an opening. Take the chance to attack!"
The two who had already been knocked off the platform, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, saw Tang San begin using his mysterious Hidden Weapons, and their eyes lit up again.
Perhaps they really had a chance to take one of them down!
Flender and Yu Gang came over to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Flender's jaw tightened, his face livid. His money!
"How can you be worse than Oscar? He managed to break through the illusion, but you two just charged straight out!"
Yu Gang began showing off his knowledge again.
He patted Flender on the back.
"Mind-based Soul Skills are inherently unpredictable. There are still three people on the field—that's already beyond what I expected."
"Just think of it as paying to teach the Little Monsters a lesson!"
Flender felt even worse.
So it wasn't your money, Yu Gang. That's why you don't feel the sting!
Yu Gang then turned to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Since he happened to see this Martial Soul, he might as well explain it to the two of them first.
"Tian Yue's Martial Soul is the Golden Crocodile King. It's stronger than both your White Tiger and Evil Fire Phoenix, and is considered a Super Martial Soul."
"Of course, that's mainly because Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix still has a flaw. Otherwise, the Phoenix Martial Soul would be at this level too."
Dai Mubai wanted to argue.
But his Martial Soul really was afraid of that crocodile.
Yu Gang put on an air of mystery.
"Keep watching. They'll be your main opponents when you compete in the Soul Master Tournament!"
Against Tang San's shower of Hidden Weapons,
Tian Yue immediately used her second Soul Skill—Golden Tyrant Body!
It made her already formidable defense even stronger.
Most of the Hidden Weapons couldn't pierce her scales. The few with penetrating effects only got stuck in them.
Hu Liena hadn't expected that
Hidden Weapons flung with bare hands could actually pierce Tian Yue's defenses.
She immediately used her first Soul Skill, hoping to stun Tang San.
But Tang San had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye.
Hu Liena's Soul Skill only made him lose focus for an instant.
Still, that was enough to stop Tang San from using his Hidden Weapons.
When Tian Yue saw Hu Liena prevent Tang San from using his Hidden Weapons, she shook her body and sent them all flying.
Seeing an opening, Xiao Wu's third Soul Ring lit up in an instant.
She appeared behind Tian Yue and used Waist Bow.
After locking Tian Yue in place, she suddenly exerted her strength and flung her into the air.
Tang San was about to use Spider Web Restraint when a sudden pain shot through his head.
Xiao Wu, who had been near Tian Yue, twisted her mouth into a smirk. She was just about to let Tian Yue taste Eight-Stage Exploding Kill Throw when her head hurt too.
Tian Yue, suspended in the air, hadn't expected she would nearly fall for it!
If Hu Liena hadn't come to her aid in time, she wouldn't have been able to hold her head up in front of Lin Huai again.
In the private room, Lin Huai had expected airheaded Tian Yue to make a mistake. Fortunately, Hu Liena had been trained well by him over the years and had reacted in time.
Tian Yue was a little angry. She grabbed Xiao Wu with both hands and activated her third Soul Skill—Death Roll!
Her Soul Skill was somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Throw.
When Tang San looked at Tian Yue again, Xiao Wu had nearly been twisted into a pretzel.
Tian Yue tossed Xiao Wu aside.
Tang San hurried over and caught her in his arms.
Completely disregarding Xiao Wu's multiple broken bones, he hugged her tightly and even forced a few tears into his eyes.
"Third Brother, it hurts—"
Then she passed out from the pain.
Tian Yue wasn't sure what to make of it. Did Tang San actually like Xiao Wu or not?
Xiao Wu had been able to withstand the Death Roll thanks to her flexibility. After that, she only needed to wait for a few bones to heal. But now that Tang San had hugged her, she wouldn't be getting out of bed for weeks.
"Xiao Ao!"
Oscar saw Tang San once again wearing that bloodshot-eyed, panting-like-a-bull expression.
He quickly descended and went over to Tang San.
Tang San handed Xiao Wu to Oscar and walked toward Tian Yue alone.
"Take Xiao Wu down. Leave what comes next to me!"
Oscar scooped Xiao Wu up and ran off the platform, joining the other four Shrek members.
As he stuffed one of his sausages into Xiao Wu's mouth, he asked Yu Gang,
"Great Master, Tian Yue doesn't have a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, so why is her Soul Ring Configuration so terrifying?"
Yu Gang repeated his earlier explanation,
then stroked the slight stubble on his chin.
"As for the Soul Ring Configuration, I think Spirit Hall has discovered some secret method."
"Let's see if we can use ordinary Soul Masters as bait to get Lin Huai to reveal this method.
I'll put myself out and promote it for free!"
Flender looked at Yu Gang as if he were an idiot.
Did Yu Gang really think Lin Huai's behavior over the past few days made him look stupid?
Or was Yu Gang actually an idiot?
Otherwise, why would he entertain the wild idea that Lin Huai would tell others about something so important?
On the platform,
Tang San was still wearing that Tang's Syndrome expression.
He roared out the famous line:
"You dared to hurt Xiao Wu. You've already chosen the Path to Death!"
He released the fully restored Eight Spider Lances and charged straight at Tian Yue.
"Lin Huai, his External Soul Bone hasn't fully fused with him yet, has it?"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing understood what Qian Renxue was implying and looked at Lin Huai, who had to make the decision.
Lin Huai took out a shielding Soul Tool and separated Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing from them.
"That's right. I was worried before that taking the External Soul Bone would draw Asura God's intervention."
As though he'd finally figured it out, Lin Huai voiced his theory.
"I don't think Asura God pays that much attention to Tang San. He wouldn't arrange everything for him like a babysitter."
"Otherwise, forget about becoming gods. We wouldn't have the slightest chance to strike back."
Then he gazed deeply at Qian Renxue.
"So, Big Sister Xiao Xue, are you willing to take a gamble with me?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, but she was still beautiful.
She walked right up to Lin Huai
and pulled him into a French kiss.
When they parted, both were panting heavily. Qian Renxue held Lin Huai's face in her hands.
She gently pressed her forehead against his, their eyes meeting.
They could both feel each other's breath.
"Got it?"
"If you ask me something like that again, a gentle headbutt won't be enough to earn your forgiveness!"
Lin Huai smiled knowingly, kissed Qian Renxue again, and put away the shielding Soul Tool.
"Don't worry. That External Soul Bone won't belong to him for much longer."
