Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji

"Y-Young master, please don't be angry. I'll give you your reward right away."

The white-robed steward sensed that Ye Xuan was not someone to trifle with and quickly admitted his mistake.

Only after Ye Xuan withdrew his sword intent did the steward catch his breath.

He then quickly prepared ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for Ye Xuan and even kindly included a low-grade Space Soul Tool as a bonus.

After taking the money, Ye Xuan left at once.

Once Ye Xuan was gone, the white-robed steward quickly recorded his information.

He murmured to himself, "A level-20 Soul Master with the Hundred Beauties Scroll as his Martial Soul? But he seems to have powerful abilities beyond his Martial Soul as well. I must report this to my superiors."

After finishing the registration, he went first to see the local bishop.

Ye Xuan knew nothing about this.

Although his consciousness could blanket the entire city and reach even farther, monitoring everything, Ye Xuan wasn't a Peeping Tom. Naturally, he wouldn't keep his consciousness spread out to watch the whole city.

When he returned to his lodgings, the manager behind the counter teased him, "Young master, did you make any money on your trip?"

"I did. Have some good food and wine brought up for me." Ye Xuan said, then headed straight upstairs.

"Huh?"

The manager couldn't help but pause.

Ye Xuan had looked so serious that the manager almost believed him.

Could he really have taken on a bounty? Impossible. How could he have completed one in such a short time?

Still, the manager quickly ordered someone to prepare food and wine, then personally brought it to Ye Xuan.

After sampling the fine wine, Ye Xuan lay down to rest.

The next day.

Ye Xuan made some inquiries and learned that Suotuo City also had high-end entertainment venues, with no shortage of women skilled in singing and dancing.

So he went straight to the finest one, a place called Dream Moon Pavilion.

To enter, everyone had to pay a hundred Gold Soul Coins.

Once inside, ordinary drinks were free-flowing, but anything better cost extra.

If you wanted one of the girls to give you a private performance, you had to pay even more.

And if you wanted a girl to spend the night with you, it would cost over a thousand Gold Soul Coins.

When Ye Xuan arrived at Dream Moon Pavilion, he found it decent enough. It was more than good enough to while away his free time.

So for the next few days, he came here to listen to music.

On the fourth day.

Ye Xuan left Dream Moon Pavilion. He hadn't gone far before he noticed someone sneaking along behind him.

This kid still hasn't given up! If he wants to follow me, let him. Ye Xuan thought disdainfully, continuing on his way.

The person following him was none other than Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing and the others had now joined Shrek Academy, but after his fight with Ye Xuan that day, his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing had fallen to a freezing point.

There was neither love nor hatred in Zhu Zhuqing's gaze when she looked at him.

He understood what that meant.

It meant Zhu Zhuqing had given up on him completely.

Feeling troubled that day, he had gone out to listen to music.

To his surprise, he ran into Ye Xuan, so he decided to follow him and find out where he lived.

Once he knew where Ye Xuan was staying, he could call in some people to deal with him.

At first, he worried that Ye Xuan might notice him. But even after following Ye Xuan into his lodgings, Ye Xuan seemed not to have noticed at all.

That put Dai Mubai even more at ease.

Looks like this kid isn't much stronger than me. If I ask Teacher Zhao to step in, he'll definitely teach this kid a good lesson.

After making up his mind, Dai Mubai quickly left and returned to Shrek Academy.

The next day.

Ye Xuan was about to leave his lodgings. But as soon as he came downstairs, he found his way blocked.

The people blocking him were rather interesting. There were four of them.

Ye Xuan only knew Tang San and Dai Mubai, but he quickly guessed the identities of the other two from their builds and Soul Power.

The other two were surely Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji and that kid Ma Hongjun.

When Dai Mubai saw Ye Xuan, he said to Zhao Wuji, "Teacher, that's him."

"That kid?"

Zhao Wuji sized Ye Xuan up and found that, apart from being handsome, he seemed completely ordinary.

He even wondered whether he had been too hasty in agreeing to come.

Seeing how weak Ye Xuan looked, he almost felt embarrassed to threaten him.

Instead, he simply asked, "Are you Ye Xuan? I heard you beat up a student from my Shrek Academy."

"That's right. What about it? Are you here for revenge?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

He hadn't expected to run into the familiar scenario of beating the young and having the old show up in his place here.

"Kid, you've got guts. Aren't you afraid of me?" Zhao Wuji couldn't help admiring Ye Xuan for not being cowed by his imposing presence.

"Boss Dai, you lost to this guy? He doesn't look like much to me! How about I get revenge for you, brother?" Ma Hongjun teased.

Then he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Kid, I'll fight you."

"You? You're not qualified." Ye Xuan shook his head, then looked at Zhao Wuji. "You're Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji, right?"

"Hm? You know me?" Zhao Wuji was taken aback.

He wouldn't have found it strange if someone from the older generation recognized him.

But this boy looked even younger than Dai Mubai, and he knew who Zhao Wuji was.

"Of course. I've been keeping an eye on your Shrek Academy here in Suotuo City. You, the Immovable Wisdom King, caught my attention. I'll give you a chance: fight me with all you've got. I'll give you three moves. After that, I won't hold back." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Zhao Wuji was a good point of reference. Ye Xuan could use him to see just how powerful Soul Masters' Soul Skills were.

In fact, even if Zhao Wuji hadn't come looking for him, Ye Xuan might have spent a few more days listening to music. Once he got tired of it, he would have gone to see Zhao Wuji and Flender.

Now that Zhao Wuji had come to him, it saved him the trouble.

"You've got nerve, kid. Even the dean wouldn't dare tell me he'd give me three moves. You're even more arrogant than the dean. I'd like to see what you can do."

As Zhao Wuji spoke, he activated his Martial Soul.

As his Martial Soul surged to life and seven Soul Rings appeared, a terrifying pressure instantly filled the area.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others beside him all felt as though they couldn't breathe.

As for the weaker people nearby, they were pressed flat to the ground.

Yet Ye Xuan stood unmoved, facing Zhao Wuji like a towering mountain.

Watching Ye Xuan stand firm, Tang San couldn't help wondering, Could he really be stronger than Zhao Wuji?

Tang San had experienced Zhao Wuji's strength firsthand.

It was no exaggeration to say that Zhao Wuji was the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

If Ye Xuan was even stronger than him, what level of expert would that make him?

Seeing that Ye Xuan wasn't affected at all, Zhao Wuji put away his contempt. He gathered Soul Power into his fist and swung at Ye Xuan. The punch was only a probe.

But as his fist neared Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan's body shifted slightly, and he easily dodged the blow.

"One," Ye Xuan said leisurely, keeping count for him.
