Hu Liena

Xiao Chenghe's eyes widened as he clenched his fists. "Do you think you can beat me, or do you think you can outrun me?"

Everyone from Shrek shut up in unison, then hid behind Zhao Wuji. They certainly did not think they could defeat Xiao Chenghe.

Even together, they could not do it—unless Zhao Wuji joined them.

After this incident, the group's relationship eased somewhat. At the very least, when Luo Yihe spoke to the Shrek group, he no longer hid bricks behind his back.

Things continued according to the original plot. They still encountered the fated Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, Meng Yiran and the Serpent Grandmother appeared, and a conflict broke out over the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Tang San showed off in front of everyone again, tying up that young girl in a rather embarrassing way. Just as Luo Yihe was staring so intently that he could not look away, Zhu Zhuqing descended from the heavens. One high-heeled kick sent Luo Yihe straight out of his bewitched state and back to his senses.

Luo Yihe shouted, "What an incredibly sophisticated bewitching technique!"

As soon as he said that, the Shrek group and Xiao Chenghe gave Luo Yihe an appreciative look and nodded in agreement.

Then Zhu Zhuqing's second kick came down. Luo Yihe jumped around in pain and finally had no chance to act up again.

Tang San truly deserved to be the protagonist. With no Titan Giant Ape involved, that fated Man Faced Demon Spider actually ran right into Tang San's face on its own.

Could Tang San refuse? He killed it outright, absorbed its Soul Ring, and obtained the Eight Spider Lances.

Luo Yihe was not jealous or anything. First, he had no use for it. Second, his relationship with Tang San was somewhat complicated, but there was no conflict between them, and Tang San had always been polite to him.

He truly did not want to offend someone for no reason. Besides, would he be inferior to Tang San? Luo Yihe did not believe a single Eight Spider Lances could widen the gap between Tang San and himself.

After the group witnessed Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, Luo Yihe stood nearby and explained them.

The Shrek group all congratulated him, while Tang San thanked Luo Yihe as well. After all, he did not recognize the thing either and had thought he had mutated.

Just as the group prepared to help Zhu Zhuqing, the last one remaining, find a Soul Ring, the Dragon Duke, Serpent Grandmother, and Meng Yiran appeared again.

Zhao Wuji revealed Tang San's identity. He had originally wanted to name Luo Yihe, but Luo Yihe's background was his Martial Soul. Who the hell would believe that if he said it aloud? If Zhao Wuji had not seen it himself, he would not have believed such a ridiculous explanation either. After thinking it over, he still gave Tang Hao's name.

The Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother had originally intended to let the matter go, but Meng Yiran disagreed. She insisted that Tang San demonstrate his throwing knives, and would not leave until Tang San received a kiss from her.

Luo Yihe was speechless. He had been pursuing Zhu Zhuqing for so long and had only kissed her a few days ago, yet Tang San and Meng Yiran had kissed after meeting just twice.

Luo Yihe immediately felt unbalanced, and his whole mood turned gloomy.

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Luo Yihe's expression and considered everything that had happened over the past few days, she found it both amusing and helpless. But who told her this was the man she had chosen?

She quietly walked over, took Luo Yihe's hand, interlaced her fingers with his, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Dai Mubai, who had been secretly watching Zhu Zhuqing from behind, saw this scene and became so furious that he nearly bit through the tree bark. His teeth ground together with loud creaks.

Finally, they helped Zhu Zhuqing obtain a Soul Ring, but Zhu Zhuqing requested a feline Soul Beast around six thousand years old.

No one present except Xiao Chenghe agreed. Luo Yihe rejected it even more sternly. He would not allow Zhu Zhuqing to take such a risk. She had not even eaten immortal herbs, so how could she possibly be that amazing?

But Zhu Zhuqing insisted. She could not say that her other self had already strengthened her, nor could she say that her other self had told her six thousand years would be safe. Her other self could not possibly want to harm her, could she?

Xiao Chenghe pulled Luo Yihe aside and explained that when he broke through, it had also driven Zhu Zhuqing's advancement. Zhu Zhuqing would have no problem choosing a six-thousand-year Soul Ring now.

After arguing for quite a while, Luo Yihe agreed to give it a try. He also declared, "If there is even the slightest sign of failure, I will choose to save Zhu Zhuqing's life, even if it means ruining her foundation."

After hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing's smile only became gentler.

When Zhu Zhuqing truly absorbed a six-thousand-seven-hundred-year Thorn-Hiding Cat Demon, Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot. He wished he could take her place, and regretted it terribly. If he had taken Zhu Zhuqing with him when he ran away, would Luo Yihe, that inhuman bastard, have gotten so lucky?

Tang San was somewhat envious as well. After all, he had only obtained a Soul Ring from a Soul Beast over three thousand years old. At that moment, Tang San suddenly remembered what Luo Yihe had told him before.

"Your teacher is nothing but useless trash. Use that pig brain of yours and think properly—could the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul he wrote possibly have been written by a human? It's complete nonsense. A piece of trash who had not even reached rank twenty-nine wrote the entire Soul Master system? If he was so damn capable, why was he still only rank twenty-nine? Where the hell was his brain?"

"Tang San, did you feed your brain to Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul? Everyone on Douluo Continent is an idiot except you? The entire continent recognizes him as trash, but you think he's some reclusive master? If you block my path again because of that trash teacher of yours, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

Tang San thought of Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe's strength, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had successfully absorbed a six-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Tang San nearly wanted to send Yu Xiaogang down the path to death. He had felt some pressure when absorbing the two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider before, but that was because it came with an External Soul Bone. The first two hundred-year Soul Rings he absorbed had been ridiculously easy, especially the second one—it had been as easy as drinking water.

Just moments ago, Luo Yihe had been gloomy and feeling unbalanced.

Now it was Tang San's turn. Yu Xiaogang had treated him very well, and Tang San could feel that, but Tang San could not accept being a useless person's test subject. He could accept even less that Yu Xiaogang had gambled with his future.

As Luo Yihe and the others celebrated Zhu Zhuqing's success, a pleasant voice rang out. "Kid! Is that you?"

Hu Liena had shoulder-length light golden hair, upturned foxlike eyes, a gorgeous and seductive face, enormous breasts, and incredibly long legs.

When she spotted Luo Yihe from a distance, she was greatly surprised. Back when she had passed through the city where Luo Yihe was selling mobile phones, she had thought he was exceptionally handsome. At such a young age, he was already out making a living through street performance, so she had placed an order with Spirit Hall for one hundred thousand mobile phones.

To thank her for completing the first major sale of his life, Luo Yihe had specially exchanged the skill [Poetry, Lyrics, Songs, and Rhapsodies] from the system shop.

That day, Hu Liena had been utterly captivated by him, with little hearts practically popping out of her eyes.

She had even wanted to take Luo Yihe to Spirit Hall, saying that he could bring all his family with him. She, Hu Liena, would cover every expense, and she would ask her teacher to help Luo Yihe awaken his Martial Soul again. Even if he had no Soul Power, she, Hu Liena, would use treasures to force-feed him into becoming a Soul Master.

Because in Hu Liena's subconscious, if someone were a Soul Master, it would be impossible for him to set up a stall and hawk goods for a living. And no matter who came to buy one of his mobile phones, Luo Yihe called every one of them family, with absolutely no sense of boundaries.
