Lin Fan smiled and said, "I traded 500 Villain Points for this thing at the System Mall!"
"Really? Then let's try it out!"
As soon as Xiao Wu heard they could fly, she got excited and pulled Lin Fan onto the aircraft, eager to take off!
This helicopter was a little different from the ones on Earth. Instead of oil, it ran on Soul Power!
All they had to do was pour Soul Power into a crystal disc to get it airborne. It was very easy to operate, with controls for forward, backward, up, down, left, and right, just like a video game!
"Buckle up. Woohoo, we're taking off!"
Lin Fan reminded Xiao Wu, then channeled his Soul Power and pulled the controls!
As the rotor blades spun faster and faster, the helicopter slowly rose into the air!
"Wow, Brother Lin Fan, you're amazing! You actually invented something like this. This is so much fun!"
Watching the scenery below grow smaller and smaller, Xiao Wu was thrilled. She felt as free as a bird soaring through the sky!
"This is just child's play. Stick with me, and there'll be plenty more good stuff!"
Lin Fan said smugly. The Great Villain System really knew what people wanted. It had all sorts of strange and wonderful things, not just items to boost his strength but plenty for picking up girls, too!
"Isn't that Tang San and that Grandmaster? What are they going to do?"
Xiao Wu stared down at them and asked, puzzled.
Lin Fan was taken aback. Then he leaned over to look out the window and sure enough, he saw Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
The two climbed into a carriage at the school gate and headed southeast from Nuoding City!
"That looks like the way to the Soul Hunting Forest. Is Tang San going to get his First Soul Ring?"
Lin Fan wondered to himself.
He'd guessed right. Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power. He wasn't as absurdly powerful as Lin Fan, who was already Level 30, but he could still obtain his First Soul Ring!
"Teacher, what kind of Soul Beast would be best for my First Soul Ring?"
Tang San asked from inside the carriage.
"Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is mainly suited for control. A Soul Ring from a Plant-type Soul Beast or a poisonous animal-type Soul Beast would be a good match, improving your ability to control the battlefield!"
Yu Xiaogang thought it over before answering.
"Only control..."
Tang San furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with unwillingness!
"Teacher... the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is too weak! I want to add a Soul Ring to my Second Martial Soul!"
"No. Absolutely not!"
The moment Tang San finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang flatly refused!
"But, but that Lin Fan...!"
Tang San clenched his fists, his expression full of resentment!
"Xiao San, that guy is so powerful that even calling him a genius doesn't do him justice. He's a monster!"
"If you add a Soul Ring to your Second Martial Soul now, you'll lose any chance of surpassing him in this lifetime!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was grave. Even he hadn't been able to beat Lin Fan before, let alone Tang San as he was now!
Of course, he hadn't told Tang San about what had happened. First, he was afraid it would crush Tang San's confidence. And second, who would be willing to admit that a man in his fifties had lost to a five- or six-year-old child, then knelt in public and called him Grandpa?
"I understand, Teacher."
After Tang San spoke, silence settled over the carriage. Neither of them knew that, more than a thousand meters above them, a pair of eyes was watching them.
"Heh, this kid Tang San really knows how to please me. I can use this chance to rake in some Villain Points!"
Lin Fan said with a lecherous grin.
Once he'd made up his mind, he piloted the helicopter after the carriage.
Sure enough, a few hours later, the carriage stopped at the edge of the Soul Hunting Forest.
"Xiao San, stay close to me!"
Once they entered the forest, Yu Xiaogang tensed up and moved to shield Tang San behind him!
To Yu Xiaogang, Tang San was everything. He was Yu Xiaogang's only hope of proving his theories about Soul Masters, and he couldn't let anything happen to him!
The two proceeded cautiously, one behind the other. After more than ten minutes, a rustling sound came from ahead!
"That's a Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf. It has a paralyzing neurotoxin, and it should be about three hundred years old. It would make a good First Soul Ring for you!"
In the woods up ahead, a purple-furred creature with two wolf heads was gnawing on a dead rabbit!
"Luo Sanpao!"
Yu Xiaogang summoned his Martial Soul, and Luo Sanpao quietly circled around to the other side of the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf!
At the same time, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance and charged straight at the wolf!
Awooo!
The Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf was cautious by nature. The moment it spotted the two figures, it turned and fled in the opposite direction!
"Fart like thunder, Heaven-Splitting Earth-Cracking Luo Sanpao!"
That was exactly what Yu Xiaogang had been waiting for. Luo Sanpao, who had been lying in ambush, burst from the bushes. He aimed his enormous rear at the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf, and a cloud of yellow smoke burst out, blasting into the beast!
The Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf let out a cry and collapsed to the ground, instantly losing its ability to fight back!
It wasn't that Luo Sanpao's attack was powerful. It was just so foul that the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf had been knocked unconscious by the stench!
"Xiao San, hurry and finish it off!"
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and urged Tang San on.
Though Tang San wore a mask, Luo Sanpao's stench still left him reeling. He could barely even keep his eyes open!
That fart stung his eyes!
"I know, Teacher!"
Knowing how much was at stake, Tang San held his breath, pulled a dagger from his waist, and prepared to finish off the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf!
Bang!
But before Tang San could move, a muffled sound rang out. A bloody hole appeared over the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf's heart, and the light in its eyes slowly faded. A yellow Soul Ring appeared above its body!
"Who?!"
The sudden turn of events made Tang San and Grandmaster's expressions change dramatically. They stood back to back, scanning their surroundings!
"Don't bother looking. I'm up here!"
A voice came from above. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San looked up at the same time and saw a strange flying machine slowly descending through the air, finally stopping more than a hundred meters above them!
And aboard the machine was the one person they least wanted to see!
"Lin Fan! What do you mean by this?!"
Tang San's face turned ice-cold, his gaze full of hostility!
"It doesn't mean anything. I had my eye on that Soul Beast, too. Sorry about that. You'll have to find another one!"
Lin Fan said with a grin.
"Brother Lin Fan, what is that thing? It can hit its target so accurately from so far away, and it's so powerful!"
Xiao Wu asked, looking at the strange, long weapon in Lin Fan's hands.
"This is an AWM Sniper Rifle. It's powerful and highly accurate. It even has an 8x Scope!"
### Tang San Gets Played to Pieces!
Lin Fan had spent 300 Villain Points to trade for the rifle at the System Mall, and he didn't regret it at all!
He'd just snatched Tang San's Soul Beast and earned 500 Villain Points as a reward!
He'd made back his investment instantly, and every firearm he traded for through the system came with unlimited ammunition. It was a real bargain!
After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Xiao Wu put her eye to the scope. Sure enough, the scenery in the distance appeared magnified many times, as if it were right in front of her!
"Brother Lin Fan, you're amazing!"
Xiao Wu gazed at him in admiration. Lin Fan's inventions always brought her unexpected delights!
Watching the two of them laughing and chatting aboard the helicopter, Tang San kept his expression calm, but fear had already taken root deep inside him!
The weapon in Lin Fan's hands was incredibly powerful. It had pierced the Purple Poison Two-Headed Wolf from over a thousand meters away!
It was even more powerful than most Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. With Lin Fan high above them, taking Tang San's life would be effortless if he wanted to!
"Tang San, don't be nervous. The fun is only just beginning. I'm not going to kill you."
"Go on and keep looking for Soul Beasts. Ignore me, but don't even think about running. If you get too far away and I can't see you clearly, I might mistake the two of you for Soul Beasts and shoot you. That wouldn't be very nice..."
Lin Fan folded his arms and watched Tang San with a cheerful smile.
If he wanted to get rid of Tang San and Grandmaster, it would be easier than crushing an ant!
But that would be so boring. What would be the point of being a villain if the hero died?
Lin Fan wanted to slowly torment Tang San, racking up Villain Points until he wished he were dead but couldn't die!
"You!"
Tang San was so furious he nearly spat blood. Lin Fan's voice was light and airy, but the threat behind his words was unmistakable!
"Let's go, Xiao San. Do what he says."
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood from his palms!
He hated it. If only he were strong enough, he wouldn't be bullied by a five- or six-year-old child!
But there was nothing he could do. He was just a useless man!
And so, the poor teacher and student continued their search for Soul Beasts!
Whenever Tang San and Yu Xiaogang found a suitable Soul Beast and went to all that trouble to capture it, Lin Fan would shoot it dead from the helicopter!
Since only the person who personally killed a Soul Beast could absorb its Soul Ring, Lin Fan's Soul-Beast-stealing antics earned him 3,000 Villain Points from Tang San in just a few hours!
"Brother Lin Fan, isn't this a little wrong...?"
Just as Lin Fan was having a great time, Xiao Wu spoke up beside him.
"What? Do you feel sorry for that Tang San?"
Lin Fan frowned and asked.
"No, that guy's weak but always acts so tough. I don't feel sorry for him at all! It's just that those poor Soul Beasts are dying..."
Xiao Wu hurriedly denied it.
"Oh... all right. For your sake, Xiao Wu, I'll let them off today."
Only then did Lin Fan realize that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast herself, so it was only natural she'd feel uneasy about him slaughtering all those Soul Beasts.
"You two! I'm sparing you today for Xiao Wu's sake. Get over here and thank Sister Xiao Wu!"
Lin Fan opened the helicopter door and called down to them.
By then, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were completely exhausted. They were nothing but lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
Though both of them were deeply unwilling, they still bowed respectfully toward the helicopter and called out, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Tang San was one thing, but seeing a man in his fifties call a five- or six-year-old girl "Sister" was a pretty ridiculous sight!
"Lin Fan, I'll make you pay a hundredfold for today's humiliation!"
Tang San seethed inwardly and swore to himself.
"Congratulations, Master. You have gained 2,000 Villain Points!"
At the same time, Daji's voice sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
"Heh, it looks like Tang San is determined to fight me to the death!"
