"Hehe! Brother Luo, this move of yours really works. It's never failed."
"Of course. Who do you think invented it?"
Xiao Chenghe was thrilled. "What do we do next, Brother Luo? Keep fighting?"
Luo Yihe replied, "Obviously. The old man outside the ring hasn't called it yet. Go! Strike while he's down and finish him off."
Luo Yihe took a folding stool from his system storage and handed it to Xiao Chenghe.
Luo Yihe had gotten 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 think much of it. He grabbed the stool and charged at Mu Chenglong, who was still hopping around.
With a loud bang, Mu Chenglong was knocked straight to the ground 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 full minutes. Mu Chenglong angrily slammed a hand against the ground, 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 originally spotless 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 and touched... two teeth.
Mu Chenglong's pupils shook. He stared in disbelief at the two teeth in his hand, then his eyes turned red as he glared fiercely at the two people hurriedly hiding the stool and brick.
Mu Chenglong charged straight at them, moving so fast it was like teleportation. Luo Yihe simply teleported away.
Xiao Chenghe knew he could not escape. If he got caught, he would be in for a brutal beating, so the moment Luo Yihe left, he immediately possessed his martial soul.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered within five meters of Xiao Chenghe. Thunder flashed and lightning roared as a white bear over three meters tall appeared behind him, dressed in a suit of rune armor and roaring at the sky.
All the lightning in the sky immediately struck the white bear. After being baptized by the thunderbolts, the white bear's rune armor, limb armor, and shoulder plates surged with lightning. Its forepaws in particular were wrapped in blue thunder.
Finally, the white bear stood upright and let out a roar toward the heavens.
"Roar~"
The dark clouds dispersed, and the lightning shot wildly in all directions without discrimination.
Seeing this unique martial soul possession, Mu Xiangyang had activated his martial soul early and shielded Zhu Zhuqing and himself within it.
Mu Chenglong, meanwhile, was directly forced back by this power.
Mu Chenglong praised, "What powerful bearing... Aow~"
Mu Chenglong clutched his head and viciously turned around to glare at Luo Yihe, who had smacked him with a brick before swiftly teleporting away.
The moment Xiao Chenghe looked at Luo Yihe, he charged forward with the aura of an army of thousands, slashing at Mu Chenglong with a lightning claw.
Mu Chenglong dodged sideways, then spun around and kicked Xiao Chenghe, sending him flying. He crashed through several trees in a row before slamming heavily into a massive rock.
Luo Yihe teleported to his side and was about to speak when a huge hand grabbed for him. Luo Yihe did not dare linger and teleported away at once.
"Hmph! You run pretty fast."
Mu Chenglong returned to his calm and composed appearance. If not for the several lumps on his head and the missing teeth that made his words leak air... he would have looked even more handsome.
Luo Yihe shouted, "Big Bear, don't hit anywhere else. We can't hurt him there. Strike him with lightning! If he dares come 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 came out of her nose, followed by muffled "hehehe" laughter.
After that, Luo Yihe harassed Mu Chenglong with the brick while blue lightning occasionally struck down from above. It made Mu Chenglong desperately want to possess his martial soul and teach these two inhuman bastards a vicious lesson.
Once, Mu Chenglong's fist had already reached Xiao Chenghe's face, but the brat completely ignored it and viciously kicked him in the crotch.
Mu Chenglong cried out in pain and was about to hit him again when Luo Yihe's brick smacked straight into his face. Luo Yihe then rescued Xiao Chenghe, pulled away, and gave him time to recover.
If Mu Chenglong chased after Luo Yihe instead, Xiao Chenghe followed Luo Yihe's commands and made sure to drop a bolt of lightning whenever Mu Chenglong was about to catch Luo Yihe.
Luo Yihe had mastered kiting to perfection, tormenting Mu Chenglong beyond endurance.
"Golden Lion King, possess."
"Fuck! You have no martial honor!"
After being tormented for half an hour, Mu Chenglong finally could not take it anymore. Even at the cost of his dignity, he had to severely teach these two inhuman bastards a lesson.
They had disgusted him beyond belief.
Ten minutes later...
Mu Chenglong appeared beside Mu Xiangyang looking refreshed and delighted.
Meanwhile, Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe sat with Zhu Zhuqing, all bruised and swollen, listening as Mu Xiangyang explained the understanding higher-level Soul Masters had of lower-level Soul Masters. Afterward, they trained their martial souls with Mu Chenglong, while Zhu Zhuqing also took part in several combat trials. However, 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 the arena, she had thought she was doing fine. They had all let her use her martial soul, while they themselves did not use theirs, yet she was still eliminated the fastest. 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 for your guidance, Elder Mu and Uncle Mu. We will remember it deeply."
Over the following days, Luo Yihe and the others learned that Mu Chenglong was actually of their grandfather's generation. However, with the even older Mu Xiangyang around, everyone still called Mu Chenglong Uncle.
Luo Yihe, Xiao Chenghe, and Zhu Zhuqing all bowed to the two elders, expressing 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 honorary names."
Mu Chenglong took an exquisitely crafted gift box from his robe 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 a gift from me."
Xiao Chenghe happily accepted the gift and repeatedly nodded in thanks.
Mu Chenglong said lightly, "I like you more. Stay away from your big brother. That brat is rotten to the core. If you leave him, I'll ask one of Spirit Hall's super experts to take you as an apprentice 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."
With a smile, Mu Chenglong patted Xiao Chenghe on the shoulder. "Although your big brother can be quite inhuman, he's loyal enough and doesn't disgust the people around him. He's a bastard with principles, hahaha."
After saying that, he left the place with Mu Xiangyang.
