What Are You Babbling About?

Chrysanthemum Du nodded, agreeing with Ghost Douluo.

"Let's observe for now."

--

Su Changqing's side.

By then, he had arrived not far from the Wolf Bandits' encirclement and was hiding in a patch of grass.

"Wolf Bandits? Are they hunting down a girl?"

Su Changqing immediately analyzed the situation.

Wolf Bandits were creatures born from the fusion of humans and Gale Demon Wolves. Violent by nature, they enjoyed abducting women to use as tools for venting their desires. Such creatures deserved to be killed by everyone!

He turned his gaze toward the girl, his eyes widening slightly.

"So seductive-looking, with a Fox Spirit... Could she be..."

He had roughly guessed her identity.

"Awoo—"

But at that very moment, the Wolf Bandits attacked!

"Seeking death!"

Hu Liena gave a coquettish cry. Two yellow and two purple soul rings rose around her as she began fighting back!

Her third and first soul rings lit up simultaneously, and the flames in Hu Liena's hand instantly tripled in power!

The fireballs shot out, their terrifying force instantly killing three Wolf Bandits.

Even while surrounded by so many Wolf Bandits, Hu Liena did not fall into a disadvantage in the short term, forcing the pack back again and again.

However, that situation did not last long. Hu Liena was already injured. Though her level gave her an advantage, she was ultimately outnumbered.

After one mistake, her chest was slashed open, exposing her snow-white skin as blood splattered out.

"Bang!"

Hu Liena was sent flying several meters by the blow. Clutching her chest, she gasped for breath.

"Damn it, this is my limit. There are too many Wolf Bandits. Teacher, I'm sorry. I've let down your expectations..."

Hu Liena muttered to herself, filled with self-reproach.

As the successor to the next Pope of Spirit Hall, she could not even complete such a simple trial. She had truly disgraced her teacher, Bibi Dong!

"Slurp~"

"Hehe, looks like she can't fight anymore."

The Wolf Bandits stopped attacking. Their gazes greedily fixated on the wound on Hu Liena's chest, their minds filled with obscene thoughts.

"They're huge. They must feel amazing. I can't wait anymore!"

Spouting filthy words, they slowly approached Hu Liena.

"You pack of beasts! Even if I die, I will never let you lay a hand on me!"

Determination flashed in Hu Liena's eyes, and the fluctuations of Soul Power around her began rising rapidly.

She was clearly about to self-destruct!

"Don't self-destruct. Close your eyes!"

At that moment, a somewhat youthful male voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

For some reason, Hu Liena's rising Soul Power instantly dispersed. She then closed her eyes.

"First Spirit Skill, Holy Light Radiance!"

"Buzz—"

"Aah!!!!!"

The moment Hu Liena closed her eyes, all sorts of screams erupted around her. She became extremely curious about what had happened.

What puzzled her even more was that her injuries had actually been treated to some extent!

She wanted to open her eyes and see what was going on, but just as she tried, a sharp pain struck her eyelids. She felt that if she opened them, she would surely pay a terrible price!

She immediately gave up on the idea.

Hu Liena thought that some senior must have happened to encounter her while taking care of business in Sunset Forest and casually saved her.

Once she could open her eyes, she would definitely thank him properly!

"All right, open your eyes."

About seven or eight seconds later, that youthful male voice rang out again.

Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes.

A child dressed in white, a full head shorter than her, stood in front of her. Beyond him lay Wolf Bandits sprawled across the ground, their bodies mangled and bloody as they continued to twitch and howl.

"A three-ringed Soul Elder, one yellow and two... two purple...?"

Hu Liena was stunned when she saw Su Changqing's soul ring configuration!

A Soul Master could only absorb a thousand-year soul ring upon reaching level thirty, with the maximum limit being seventeen hundred years. Yet this child before her possessed two thousand-year soul rings!

Hu Liena's entire worldview had been shattered!

Su Changqing turned around, and the first thing he saw was Hu Liena's snow-white exposed skin.

Hu Liena's cheeks reddened slightly, and she immediately covered her exposed chest with her hand.

"Ahem, are you all right?" Su Changqing asked.

"I'm... ahem...!"

Before Hu Liena could finish speaking, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her body lost all support.

Su Changqing hurriedly caught her and helped her sit on the ground.

After sitting down, Hu Liena no longer had the strength to cover her chest.

Su Changqing accidentally saw her chest again.

The bloody claw mark had already begun turning black and showed signs of spreading outward!

He immediately concluded that the Wolf Bandit that had wounded her had poison on its claws.

"You've been poisoned..."

"I didn't expect a mere three-ringed cultivator to possess such strength. Human brat, you're quite interesting."

Before Su Changqing could finish, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.

He focused his gaze and saw a Wolf Bandit over three meters tall, with an extremely muscular body, slowly walking toward him.

Feeling the fluctuations of its aura, Su Changqing's expression grew serious.

This Wolf Bandit was roughly level forty-seven. It was likely the leader of this pack!

Facing a full fourteen-level gap in cultivation, Su Changqing did not dare let down his guard, especially since his opponent was not human.

Nonhuman species possessed much stronger physiques, while his own physical strength had not improved much yet. He had to be careful!

"Run... run..."

Hu Liena's weak voice sounded. Her consciousness was already beginning to blur.

Su Changqing ignored her and once again stood in front of her.

Hu Liena had to be saved.

If he had guessed correctly, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo should also be nearby, secretly protecting her. Bibi Dong would never let Hu Liena enter Sunset Forest alone!

Saving her might earn him Chrysanthemum Douluo's favor. Then he could borrow his Immortal Herb Manual and perhaps scam some resources out of Spirit Hall while he was at it.

"Looks like you're the leader of these beasts. How heartless. You only showed yourself after all your underlings were dead."

"Human, you're not afraid to face me? Don't tell me you think you're invincible just because you killed a few little grunts?"

The Wolf Bandit leader's tone was filled with contempt. It did not take Su Changqing seriously at all.

With its strength, it could even kill an ordinary level fifty-one Soul King. It could not imagine how this little brat before it could possibly defeat it!

"What are you babbling about? Take this!"

"Second Spirit Ability, Rainbow Flowing Light!"

With his enhancement active, Su Changqing gathered all the Light Element into his right fist and charged straight at the Wolf Bandit's head!

PS: Let me ask everyone something. Do you want the male lead to have Twin Martial Souls? His second martial soul is Child of the Moon Kirame, Mirai's official game pairing. Leave a comment here and let me know what you think.
