"Hehe! Brother Luo, that move of yours really worked. It never missed."
"Of course. Who do you think invented it?"
Xiao Chenghe was overjoyed and asked, "What do we do next, Brother Luo? Are we still fighting?"
Luo Yihe replied, "Obviously. That old man outside the arena hasn't called it yet. Go! Strike while he's down and finish him!"
Luo Yihe took a folding stool from his system space and handed it to Xiao Chenghe.
Luo Yihe had obtained this folding stool from the system lottery. As long as it remained folded, it had a 100% armor-piercing rate and a 100% critical-hit rate.
Xiao Chenghe did not care about that. He grabbed the stool and charged at Mu Chenglong, who was still hopping around.
With a bang, Mu Chenglong was knocked flat by the stool. Luo Yihe showed no mercy either, grabbing a brick and rushing over to rain blows down on Mu Chenglong.
{Ding, negative emotions from Mu Chenglong +999}
{Ding, ding, ding}
The two brothers beat him for nearly five whole minutes. Mu Chenglong slapped the ground in fury, and waves of shockwaves surged up from the earth. Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe hurriedly retreated.
Mu Chenglong's once-handsome face was now bruised black and blue. His white clothes were covered in footprints, and his outfit had been beaten into tatters. The moment Mu Chenglong opened his mouth, a clinking sound rang out.
Mu Chenglong reached up to touch it... two teeth.
Mu Chenglong's pupils shook. He stared at the two teeth in his hand in disbelief, then his eyes turned red as he glared fiercely at the two people hurriedly hiding the stool and brick.
Mu Chenglong charged at them with murderous intent, moving as quickly as Teleportation itself. Luo Yihe simply Teleported away.
Xiao Chenghe knew he could not outrun him. If he got caught, he would be in for a brutal beating, so after Luo Yihe left, he immediately used Martial Soul Possession.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered within five meters of Xiao Chenghe. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as a white bear over three meters tall appeared behind him, wearing a set of rune armor and roaring toward the sky.
All the lightning in the heavens immediately struck the white bear. After being baptized by the thunderbolts, the bear's rune armor—especially the armor on its limbs and shoulders—surged with lightning. Blue lightning coiled around its front claws in particular.
Finally, the white bear stood upright and let out a furious roar at the sky.
"Roar~"
The dark clouds dispersed, and the lightning wildly attacked everything around it without distinction.
Seeing this unique Martial Soul Possession, Mu Xiangyang had activated his Martial Soul early and shielded both Zhu Zhuqing and himself within it.
Mu Chenglong, meanwhile, was directly forced back by the power.
Mu Chenglong praised, "What powerful presence... Awooo~"
Mu Chenglong clutched his head and turned to glare viciously at Luo Yihe, who had smacked him with a brick before swiftly Teleporting away.
The moment Xiao Chenghe looked toward Luo Yihe, he charged forward with the bearing of an army of ten thousand, swiping a lightning claw straight at Mu Chenglong.
Mu Chenglong dodged sideways, spun around, and kicked Xiao Chenghe flying. He crashed through several trees in a row before slamming heavily into a massive boulder.
Luo Yihe Teleported to his side and was about to speak when a huge hand grabbed at him. Luo Yihe did not dare linger and immediately Teleported away.
"Hmph! You sure run fast."
Mu Chenglong returned to his calm and composed appearance. If not for the several lumps on his head and the gaps in his teeth that made his words whistle... he would have looked even more handsome.
Luo Yihe shouted, "Big Bear, don't hit anywhere else. We can't hurt him. Use lightning to strike him! If he dares get close, even if you have to take a hit, kick him in the crotch!"
{Ding, negative emotions from Mu Chenglong +1099}
{Ding, negative emotions from Mu Xiangyang +999}
Zhu Zhuqing had already thought through every sad thing that had ever happened in her life, but she still could not hold it in. A snot bubble popped from her nose, followed by a suppressed "Heh heh heh" of laughter.
What followed was Luo Yihe harassing Mu Chenglong with his brick while blue Lightning occasionally struck down from above. It made Mu Chenglong desperately want to use Martial Soul Possession and thoroughly deal with these two inhuman bastards.
Once, Mu Chenglong's fist had already reached Xiao Chenghe's face, but the brat completely ignored it and viciously kicked him right between the legs.
Mu Chenglong cried out in pain and prepared to strike him again, only for Luo Yihe's brick to smack him directly in the face. Luo Yihe then rescued Xiao Chenghe, pulling away to give him time to recover.
And if Mu Chenglong chased Luo Yihe, Xiao Chenghe would follow Luo Yihe's commands and ensure that a bolt of lightning fell just as Mu Chenglong was about to catch Luo Yihe.
Luo Yihe had mastered kiting to perfection, torturing Mu Chenglong beyond endurance.
"Golden Lion King, possess!"
"Fuck! You have no martial virtue!"
After being tormented for half an hour, Mu Chenglong finally could not endure it anymore. Even if he had to throw away all dignity, he was going to thoroughly teach these two inhuman bastards a lesson.
They had truly disgusted him to the limit.
Ten minutes later...
Mu Chenglong appeared beside Mu Xiangyang, refreshed in body and spirit, his mood utterly delightful.
Meanwhile, Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe sat beside Zhu Zhuqing with bruised and swollen faces, listening as Mu Xiangyang explained his understanding of how higher-level Soul Masters fought lower-level ones. Afterward, they trained their Martial Souls with Mu Chenglong. Zhu Zhuqing also took part in several practical combat trials, but she was too weak. She did not even have time to react before being knocked out of the arena.
Zhu Zhuqing became depressed again. Watching them fight from outside, she had thought she could manage. They had even let her use her Martial Soul while they did not use theirs, yet she was still the first to be eliminated. More, more, more importantly, Mu Chenglong had not even been targeting her—she had merely been caught in the crossfire.
Thinking of that made Zhu Zhuqing even more depressed.
And so, day after day, seven days passed...
"Thank you, Elder Mu and Uncle Mu, for your guidance. We will remember it deeply."
Over the following days, Luo Yihe and the others also learned that Mu Chenglong was actually of their grandfathers' generation. However, with the even older Mu Xiangyang around, they still called Mu Chenglong Uncle.
Luo Yihe, Xiao Chenghe, and Zhu Zhuqing all bowed to the two elders to express their gratitude for the past few days.
Mu Xiangyang laughed. "Hahaha, go on, children. The future belongs to you. Work hard! I'll wait for you in Spirit City to receive your titles and confer your rank."
Mu Chenglong took an exquisite gift box from his robes and handed it to Xiao Chenghe. "This is a Storage Soul Tool. It has twenty cubic meters of space and is a high-quality item capable of storing living creatures. Consider it my gift to you."
Xiao Chenghe happily accepted the gift and nodded repeatedly in thanks.
Mu Chenglong said lightly, "I like you better. Stay away from your big brother. That brat is rotten to the core. If you leave your big brother, I'll ask one of Spirit Hall's super experts to accept you as a disciple and personally teach you."
Xiao Chenghe smiled. "Thank you, Senior, but there's no need. He's my big brother. We're one and the same."
Smiling, Mu Chenglong patted Xiao Chenghe on the shoulder. "Although your big brother is a bit less than human, he's loyal enough. He hasn't disgusted the people around him. He's a bastard with principles, hahaha."
After saying that, he left the place with Mu Xiangyang.
Before you continue
