Jiang Xing simply had no time to use his soul skill, and could only dodge to the side at the very last moment.
He managed to avoid Wang Sheng's strike by a hair's breadth, but Little Snake behind Jiang Xing was in for a tragedy.
Without Jiang Xing to block it, Wang Sheng's Blazing Blade slashed viciously straight across his chest.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Little Snake was sent flying by Wang Sheng, only coming to a stop after crashing into several of his companions behind him.
"So ruthless!"
Looking at the huge wound on Little Snake's chest that almost cut him in two, everyone's expression changed.
"You're courting death!"
Jiang Xing was furious, and the soul rings on his body instantly appeared.
"Shield Bash!"
Unfortunately, the moment Wang Sheng made his move, Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu had already prepared to strike.
They used their soul skills a step faster than him!
"Collapse!"
Wu Xiaodong slammed fiercely into Jiang Xing, knocking him to the ground.
However, he did not stop there, charging directly toward the rest of them like a bulldozer. In an instant, the remaining people were all sent flying.
As for Wang Sheng, he followed closely behind, the Blazing Blade in his hand flashing up and down.
Before hitting the ground, everyone was struck by him once, adding new injuries to old ones.
"Diamond Press!"
Jiang Xing, who was the last to be knocked down, finally reacted. The moment he got up from the ground, he unleashed his most powerful soul skill.
It was also his third soul skill.
An immensely huge ape appeared around him, leaping up into the air above Wang Sheng before pressing down with the momentum of a Mount Tai Press.
"Phoenix Flame Soar!"
Wang Sheng's combat reaction was matchless, and he countered with a slash upward toward Jiang Xing in the air.
Following his strike, a flame phoenix went straight to meet the descending Jiang Xing.
"Rumble!"
Jiang Xing was instantly swallowed by the flames, dropping down from the air with his body charred black. There was not a shred of his former elegance from when he first entered the door left.
"Gravity Field!"
Wu Xiao'ai made her move then, because those sent flying by Wu Xiaodong were struggling to stand up, preparing to launch an attack.
The eerie gravity field made them feel as though they were carrying a huge rock on their backs, filling them with extreme unease!
"Retreat!"
The few of them lifted the heavily injured Little Snake and Jiang Xing, and retreated from the inn together.
"Wuwu..."
Looking at the tables and chairs already destroyed to pieces, the boss began to cry. These were all money!
Yet, he did not dare ask Wang Sheng and the others for compensation. After all, in front of soul masters, an ordinary person like him was nothing more than an ant who could be easily wiped out without anyone caring.
"Swish, swish..."
Wang Sheng produced a gold soul coin, flicked it with his finger, and watched it land directly in front of the boss.
The boss, who was already weeping tears of joy, instantly beamed. This single gold soul coin far exceeded his losses—he had made a huge profit! How could he not be happy?
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Soul Master."
"Thank you, elder sister!"
At that moment, the little boy rescued by Wu Xiao'ai looked at the four of them in awe. (This little boy has strong crowd control; everyone guess what kind of powerful martial soul the super fan arranged for him!)
Right then, in his tender young heart, the four of Wang Sheng had become synonymous with being powerful. After all, four against nine, and they still won easily.
"Little fellow, why are you here alone?"
"I..." The little boy lowered his head, his face full of gloom.
The boss sighed endlessly: "Sigh, his parents were killed a year ago because they offended a soul master."
Wu Xiaodong: "Just offending someone shouldn't mean death!"
Wu Xiao'ai: "How on earth did he offend them? Wanting someone's life over it!"
Boss: "That soul master took a fancy to his mother, and she was unwilling, so she offended the soul master. His mother and father fought desperately to protect her, and in the end both were killed."
"What?"
Not to mention Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu, even Wang Sheng was completely dumbfounded.
"What the hell, they snatch someone's wife and don't even let people fight back?"
"Do they still have any shame?"
"Are they even human? Don't let me run into them, or I'll definitely make them pay!"
Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu instantly grew furious.
At the same time, the looks they directed at the little boy grew even gentler.
Boss: "Sigh, if all soul masters were as kind-hearted as you all, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in this world!"
The boss's words left the four of them in silence. In this world, the strong ruled supreme; being bullied when lacking strength was unavoidable. This was reality.
Wang Sheng: "Does he not have any other relatives?"
Boss: "None left."
Wang Sheng: "Then has it been you taking care of him all this time?"
Boss: "Care is hardly the word. I just pity him, so I let him stay here. There isn't much, but giving him a mouthful of food is manageable."
"Little fellow, how old are you this year? What's your name?"
Wu Xiao'ai rubbed the little boy's head and asked very kindly.
The little boy said weakly: "My name is Xiao Tian, and I just turned six today!"
"Just six? That means today is your birthday?"
Just then, Xue Yue walked down from upstairs. Looking at the chaotic first floor, her brow inevitably furrowed: "Did you few cause trouble again?"
"This..."
The attention of Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu was instantly drawn. They lowered their heads one by one and delayed speaking; clearly, Xue Yue held a great deal of prestige in the hearts of the three.
Wang Sheng, however, immediately retorted: "A soul master who doesn't cause trouble is not a good soul master!"
"A soul master who doesn't cause trouble is not a good soul master?" Hearing this, Xue Yue froze. She savored the words for a moment, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Because she also felt that this sentence made a lot of sense.
However, the strength of the four of Wang Sheng was still very weak, and they dared not be too reckless. After all, if they offended someone untouchable, the consequences...
Hence, she said severely: "This matter is dropped for now. Everything will be discussed after we return to the academy!"
As she spoke, she glanced over the four of them, her gaze full of imposing presence.
Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu lowered their heads even further.
Wang Sheng, however, didn't care at all. He pulled Xiao Tian in front of Xue Yue and asked, "Teacher Xue Yue, this child is already six years old. Can you awaken him?"
Wu Xiao'ai immediately shrieked: "Right! Why didn't I think of that? If Xiao Tian has soul power after awakening, then he can avenge his parents in the future."
Xiao Tian, who had previously worn a weak expression, saw a glimmer of hope flash in his eyes at those words. Revenge was something he hadn't even dared to imagine before, but now he saw a sliver of hope.
After a while, Xue Yue figured out Xiao Tian's background and felt deep sympathy and pity.
She agreed, and soon an Awakening Formation was set up.
Standing within the formation, Xiao Tian began his martial soul awakening. Very soon, a very peculiar martial soul appeared in his right hand.
This martial soul consisted of two vines, one large and one small, completely separated from each other without the slightest connection, as if they existed entirely independently!
Wu Xiao'ai had already jumped up in shock: "These are twin martial souls?!"
(Strong crowd control makes its appearance; everyone guess what kind of powerful martial soul the super fan arranged for him. Guess it right and there will be explosive updates!)
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author instead—maybe it just got a new name!
