Troublemakers, Had Enough Yet? One Punch per Brat!

Mu Xi looked at Bai Yuan in front of her, her eyes narrowing slightly.

A blazing fireball hovered above her head, and three Soul Ring— two yellow and one purple—slowly rotated around her.

It exudes a formidable aura.

She raised her chin slightly, her gaze looking down at him, her tone icy.

"I'll say it again: leave your spiritual energy behind and leave the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Otherwise--"

She didn't finish speaking, but the temperature of the fireball above her head rose even higher, and the air began to buzz.

The expressions of the boys behind him changed, and one of them cautiously approached, lowering his voice.

"Sister Mu Xi, is this alright?"

"They look..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xi slapped him on the head, making a crisp sound.

"What's wrong with it?"

Mu Xi withdrew her hand, her tone full of impatience.

"The Spirit Ascension Platform Riot Period is essentially a battle and a test of endurance, where those who enter face both Soul Beast and Soul Master simultaneously."

"They won't survive the Riot Period. Rather than wasting their Soul Power by dying in the mouths of Soul Beast, they'd better lend us a hand."

The boy covered the back of his head where he had been hit and dared not say another word.

Bai Yuan stood still, tilting his head to look at Mu Xi, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Two yellow rings, one purple ring, three rings.

This girl's cultivation level is indeed top-notch among children her age in Eastsea City.

But he's not qualified enough!

Gu Yuena stood beside him, her long silver hair swaying gently in the breeze, her purple eyes calmly looking at Mu Xi, her face expressionless.

But Bai Yuan noticed that there was a faint Elemental Light flowing around her fingertips.

This girl is ready to make her move at any moment.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly.

Fine, since this girl is so eager to be an obstacle, I'll play along.

Bai Yuan tilted his head, the curve of his lips remaining unchanged.

"Oh? What if I don't give it to you?"

Mu Xi's face instantly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in her golden eyes.

"Then don't blame me for taking action!"

She turned to the boys next to her, raised her chin, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Kill them, Soul Power!"

"Yes, Sister Mu Xi!"

Several boys responded in unison. Although they still hesitated for a moment, they revealed their Martial Soul under Mu Xi's pressure.

The Soul Ring flickered in the forest, their various colors intertwining, creating quite a lively scene.

Mu Xi snorted coldly, and the blazing fireball above her head suddenly expanded, with three Soul Ring— two yellow and one purple—lighting up simultaneously, the First Soul Ring shining particularly brightly.

She raised her right hand, gently rubbed her thumb and middle finger together, and bursts of fist-sized fireballs condensed from her palm, carrying scorching heat waves as they hurtled straight toward Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena.

"Then let you leave in agony!"

Mu Xi's voice was clear and resonant, echoing through the dense forest.

Bai Yuan stared at the fireballs flying towards him, standing motionless without even blinking.

Gu Yuena stood beside him, equally expressionless, and even looked like she was about to yawn.

"This little girl is quite fierce."

Bai Yuan muttered something, raised his hand, and lightly flicked the fireball that was about to explode in his face with his fingertips.

"Snap--"

The fireball was slapped away as if by an invisible hand, deflected, and crashed into a nearby tree trunk, exploding into a shower of sparks.

Bai Yuan barely changed his posture, lazily swatting at the ground with his other hand, as if shooing away flies.

Gu Yuena was even more decisive; she didn't even move.

The fireballs that flew towards her were blocked by an invisible wind barrier half a meter in front of her.

One by one, they exploded, turning into a sky full of sparks, without even touching the hem of her clothes.

Mu Xi's pupils dilated slightly.

She had seen people who could block her fireballs, but she had never seen anyone block her fireballs so easily.

Moreover, neither of these two people had their Soul Ring lit up!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Mu Xi said, "I underestimated you."

Then the blazing sun overhead began to gather!

Third Soul Skill: Three Suns Shining Bright!

Several fireballs resembling small suns appeared in front of them, attacking forward with significantly greater power than before!

"Sister Mu Xi! Let me help you!"

Seeing that Mu Xi had used her third Soul Skill, the few boys who had been silent behind her could no longer contain themselves.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of a skinny boy, and he suddenly pushed off with his feet.

Using the flames and smoke from the exploding fireball, he moved like a black Gui Mei, swiftly attacking Bai Yuan from the flank.

"Once someone gets close, very few can withstand my punches!"

A triumphant smile curled at the corner of his lips, and his body suddenly expanded in mid-air!

His thin body seemed to inflate rapidly like a balloon, bursting through his coat and revealing muscles as hard as rock.

The four-meter-tall, muscular figure landed with a thud, shaking the ground three times.

Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet, and he let out a low growl like a wild beast.

"Third Soul Skill - Heavenly Ape Transformation!"

I'm so sorry!

The boy swung his thick arm high, his fist accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it slammed down towards Bai Yuan.

"Your Soul Power is mine now!"

Almost simultaneously, Mu Xi's fireball provided cover while the Heavenly Ape Transformation launched a powerful attack, drawing everyone's attention.

A subtle yet powerful spiritual force silently pierced towards Gu Yuena, who was standing beside Bai Yuan, from another direction.

A boy standing behind Mu Xi, his figure hidden in the shade of a tree, slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils had an empty, pale gray color.

Beneath his feet, three yellow Soul Ring were silently swirling.

The Martial Soul – Dark Demon Whip – uses the spirit as its blade to seize souls and devour spirits!

"Third Soul Skill - Nether Whip!"

The young man uttered the name of the Soul Skill in a low voice, in the void.

An invisible whip, as heavy as Mount Tai, lashed down fiercely at Gu Yuena's soul!

Once hit head-on by this attack, the person will be disoriented and stand frozen in place; within seconds, they will instantly lose all ability to resist.

Fireballs and the Heaven Ape will arrive immediately!

Mu Xi and he were perfectly in sync; she used a barrage of fireballs to force their opponent to take the hits head-on, giving him no room to dodge.

But the real killer move is this mind control, meticulously calculated by his comrade!

The triple killing move, like shackles, tightly bound Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena.

In an instant, a mental attack was directed at the young man who possessed the Dark Demon Whip Martial Soul, whose face turned deathly pale due to the backlash of mental energy.

He tried to retreat, but found that his consciousness had been dragged into an endless abyss.

A hellish scene flashed through his mind.

The earth cracked open, and the entire sky was burning and collapsing.

Everything, everything is being Destruction!

And he stood in the very center of this Destruction, as insignificant as a speck of dust.

"Puff!"

He finally couldn't hold on any longer, and a mouthful of bright red blood gushed from his mouth, staining the ground in front of him.

The "Hell Slash" that had already crumbled under Gu Yuena's mental barrier.

Its remaining spiritual power completely spiraled out of control under the impact of the Destruction scene, turning into nothingness.

The light of the Soul Ring also dimmed.

"Lao Liu!"

His companions rushed over with cries of alarm and supported his swaying body.

"How are you? Are you alright?!"

"Mental backlash..."

The boy managed to utter a few words, his face as white as paper, his pupils still etched with deep fear.

"The opponent's... mental power..."

It's so high it's almost despairing.

Those around him couldn't understand what he meant at all; they just felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at his exhausted state.

Mu Xi's third Soul Skill, Bombardment, had not yet had any effect.

The Lao Liu's mind control has also failed; now only one last card remains.

Can I defeat him in close combat?

All eyes turned to the Heavenly Ape Transformation a muscular man.

He is not human, he is Soul Beast, Raging Heaven-Shaking Ape!

His body, which had swelled to nearly four meters, resembled a small mountain. His skin had turned a bluish-gray like granite, his muscles were bulging, and his veins were bulging.

The heavy steps of the Heaven Ape made the earth rumble.

A fist larger than a normal person's head was raised high, accompanied by a sharp, tearing sound as it ripped through the air.

"Ha!"

He let out a loud shout, the sound booming, as if trying to dispel the unease he had ignored deep inside.

The enormous fist, like a falling meteor, slammed down towards Bai Yuan's head!

However, Bai Yuan didn't even look at him.

He simply raised his hand, casually clenched his fist, and retaliated with a punch, striking the giant ape's fist without any fancy moves.

There was no loud crash, only a dull thud.

On the rock-like fist of the Heavenly Ape Transformation Strongman, spiderweb-like cracks appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force that was impossible to resist surged from his fist.

The sensation spread along his arm and throughout his body, making him feel as if he had been struck head-on by an invisible mountain.

"Ah--!"

He let out a horrified roar, his massive body flying backwards in a pathetic manner, like a ball kicked away.

His body traced a long parabola through the air before crashing heavily into a huge rock dozens of meters away.

Boom!

The rocks shattered instantly, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

The burly man was embedded in the crater in the rock, uttering incoherent groans of pain, too weak to get up.

All of this happened so fast that Mu Xi's fireball hadn't even reached Bai Yuan yet.

Bai Yuan didn't even glance at the half-dead Heaven Ape. He reached out and casually crushed the few fireballs that were no longer a threat.

Then, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Mu Xi's pupils dilated violently.

A chill ran down her spine from behind.

Before she could even turn around, a cold greatsword was already gently placed against her fair neck.

A chill ran through the blade, colder than ten-thousand-year-old ice.

She froze, too terrified to move an inch.

"Don't move."

Bai Yuan's voice came from behind her.

At this moment, he finally stopped hiding.

Rings of Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

It is a pure, extreme, and seemingly all-consuming force.

Pitch black.

Two jet-black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Surrounding his body were two black suns.

It exuded a terrifying pressure that froze everyone present.

Pitch black, pitch black!

The boys who had initially wanted to help were now all staring wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word.

The boy, suffering from a mental backlash, pointed at the two pitch-black Soul Ring, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a sound.

Mu Xi was completely stunned.

Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? Two rings?

This boy, who looked about the same age as her, wore two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

You opened it???

She finally understood what had happened earlier—the so-called close-range attack by the Heaven Ape, mind control, and fireball bombardment.

How naive and laughable it is in the face of absolute power.

How can we fight like this?

"You... you..."

Mu Xi's voice was hoarse, completely lacking the arrogance she had just displayed.

Her golden eyes were filled with resentment, shock, and a hint of fear that she herself was unaware of.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

"It's time to end this!"
