Where Are the Cheers? Where Is the Applause?

Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao relied on the sponsorship of countless kind-hearted people as they ate, drank, and had fun along the way.

At that moment, they were in a local gang's hideout, with Uchiha Huan counting Gold Soul Coins.

"Xiao Huan, isn't what we're doing a little inappropriate?" Huo Yuhao asked somewhat guiltily.

"Look at the Tang Sect. They've been selling weapons for thousands of years, then taking out a tiny portion for charity. They've been perfectly at ease for all those millennia. Meanwhile, we rob the rich to help the poor, and you actually feel embarrassed about it? You really are too kind."

"But I haven't seen you go out and help the poor either."

"We are the poor... Enough, stop talking. Tonight, we're going out to have some fun. I'll order a few pretty young ladies for you."

"Ah... isn't that inappropriate?"

"Do you know where those young ladies come from?"

"Xiao Huan, you know?"

"A gambling father, a sick mother, a brother forced to drop out of school, and a broken girl. Are we paying for a service? We're doing good deeds. We're using money stolen from evil people to help those young ladies. Tell me, what's wrong with that?"

"Uh... all right." Huo Yuhao was left speechless.

At night, Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao walked out of a bar.

Huo Yuhao's face was covered in lipstick marks.

Suddenly, Tian Meng's voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Yuhao, danger!"

Huo Yuhao's previously bleary eyes instantly became clear.

First Soul Skill: Mental Sharing!

First Soul Skill: Spirit Detection!

Huo Yuhao immediately shared his vision with Uchiha Huan.

In truth, Uchiha Huan had already noticed the approaching people without needing Huo Yuhao's Mental Sharing.

One Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, and more than twenty Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters.

At that moment, a battered Soul Grandmaster covered in wounds limped out.

"Boss, it was these two brats! He robbed us of our money and burned down our warehouse!" The injured Soul Grandmaster pointed at Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The Soul Emperor's expression darkened. "You two destroyed my warehouse?"

Huo Yuhao's face turned solemn as he whispered, "Xiao Huan, should we run?"

"Run for what? Watch your brother put on a show."

Meanwhile, another group stood on the rooftops along both sides of the street.

They were the seven members of the Shrek Inspection Corps.

Their captain was Ma Xiaotao, and the members were Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Xi Xi, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, and Yao Haoxuan.

Ma Xiaotao was a Rank 67 Soul Emperor, while Dai Yueheng was a Rank 64 Soul Emperor.

All the other members of the Inspection Corps were Soul Kings as well.

Of course, there was also the team's accessory, the Rank 33 Bei Bei.

However, they were currently concealed beneath a Soul Tool barrier that prevented their auras from leaking out.

"Captain, should we intervene?"

"Who are those people?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"They're members of the local Wild Dog Gang. They deal in poisonous herbs. Some time ago, those two kids robbed their money and burned their poisonous herb warehouse," Chen Zifeng said.

"Then there's no need to interfere. We'll wait until the dogs finish biting each other." A vicious glint flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes. "I really don't know why Teacher sent the entire Inspection Corps out to capture two little brats."

"Treat it like a vacation." Dai Yueheng crossed his arms and looked down at the battlefield below.

Bei Bei, meanwhile, stared fixedly at Uchiha Huan.

Uchiha Huan pulled out a kunai and threw it toward the Soul Emperor.

The Soul Emperor looked at the incoming kunai and immediately laughed.

The kunai was so slow and weak that even if he stood still, it could not break through his defenses.

"What is he doing? What's the point of such a limp attack?" Ma Xiaotao frowned. "Can any of you tell?"

"How old is he? He's not even ten. It's already impressive that he didn't just run away," Dai Yueheng said dismissively.

"Don't underestimate him. He's very strong! Xiao Ya and I couldn't even withstand one move against him, and he didn't even activate his Martial Soul at the time," Bei Bei said.

The members of the Inspection Corps all gave Bei Bei meaningful looks. Though they said nothing, they seemed to have said everything.

Their meaning was simple: it wasn't that the little brat was too strong, but that Bei Bei was too weak.

Uchiha Huan suddenly vanished from where he stood. In the next instant, he appeared along the kunai's flight path, caught the kunai in one hand, and formed a Rasengan in the other. From less than half a meter away, he slammed the Rasengan directly onto the Soul Emperor's head.

Boom—

The Soul Emperor's head exploded, and his headless corpse fell stiffly to the ground.

Uchiha Huan spread his Twin Arms. "Where are the cheers? Where is the applause?"

The entire scene fell silent, every face filled with shock and disbelief.

A Soul Emperor! Instantly killed!

The Soul Emperor's subordinates were terrified.

At the same time, the members of the Shrek Inspection Corps hiding on the rooftops were equally stunned.

"Was that Teleportation?" Ma Xiaotao's expression became grave.

If she had been in his place just now, she likewise would not have escaped unscathed.

"It was that strangely shaped dagger. He can teleport to any point along its flight path." A sharp light flashed through Bei Bei's eyes.

Hearing that, everyone recalled the scene from earlier. That was indeed the case. Otherwise, there would have been no explanation for why he had thrown that strange dagger.

"Then we only need to guard against his Teleportation," Dai Yueheng said.

The Shrek Inspection Corps were not the only ones to see through it. The Wild Dog Gang's remaining two Soul Kings had figured it out as well.

"Attack together! Kill this brat! There are so many of us, why should we fear one little kid? Now that the boss is dead, we can split the local business shares between ourselves from now on!" one of the Soul Kings urged.

The thugs, who had begun to retreat, started wavering again.

The two Soul Kings exchanged glances and said quietly, "Attack together!"

At that very moment, Uchiha Huan threw another kunai.

However, this kunai was more than ten times faster than the previous one.

The kunai flew toward the Soul King on the left, who immediately retreated upon seeing it.

The Soul King on the right immediately rushed toward the one on the left. At the same time, feline traits appeared on his body. His Martial Soul was most likely tiger-type.

At that moment, another kunai appeared from Uchiha Huan's sleeve. He casually threw it, and this kunai, though thrown later, caught up to the first one.

Clang—

The two kunai collided, and their trajectories shifted at the same time.

The two Soul Kings had no time to track the kunai's altered paths.

Whoosh—

Uchiha Huan teleported again, appearing along the second kunai's flight path. He grabbed it and used Wild Goose Leaves a Trace, the kunai slicing across the right Soul King's throat.

The remaining Soul King's expression changed in shock. Uchiha Huan teleported again, appearing behind him and driving the kunai into the Soul King's back.

"Ahhh... the first, second, and third bosses are all dead... Run!"

The remaining thugs immediately scattered in all directions, while Uchiha Huan flicked the blood from his kunai.

The Shrek Inspection Corps members' expressions turned solemn.

He was strong! That youth was far too strong. In less than a minute, one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings had all been killed.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Ma Xiaotao, waiting for her command.

"We'll act tomorrow. His dagger is difficult to track at night," Ma Xiaotao said.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The youth was not very old, but his attacks were decisive and ruthless. If they acted now, they truly could not guarantee there would be no casualties.

"If necessary, when we fight tomorrow, capture Huo Yuhao first and use him as a hostage," Dai Yueheng said.
