At that thought, Yun Piaopiao immediately removed the disguise from her face.

A very taut face was revealed!

However, her features were slightly masculine, along with sword-like brows and a resolute gaze that ordinary women would not possess.

Paired with her short, choppy hair!

She looked exceptionally crisp and capable, full of vitality.

If she grew a little older.

She would definitely become a valiant "female general"!

Si Tingxuan was stunned for a moment as he looked at her. Then he muttered, "You're a woman?"

To be honest, when she had said she wanted to become his maidservant earlier, he had not considered her a woman at all.

Now, though... damn.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

As someone who cared a little about looks, Yun Piaopiao's current appearance pleased him even more.

At this moment, Yun Piaopiao took a box from her bosom and held it out before Si Tingxuan. "The soul bone is inside. Please accept it, Master!"

In her eyes, Si Tingxuan had not only avenged her brother, but also saved her life.

Becoming his maidservant was repayment for avenging her brother, while this soul bone was repayment for saving her life.

Si Tingxuan smiled faintly and accepted the soul bone. "Fine. Keeping this soul bone on you would bring disaster, not fortune."

Almost at the same time, a man's voice and a woman's voice sounded from the VIP Rooms on either side of the second floor.

"Hehe. I was wondering! Who in this world would be so kind? So you were after this soul bone too."

"Tsk, tsk, what a clever move. You got the soul bone, earned yourself a good reputation, and even received a rather pretty little maidservant as a bonus."

The corners of Si Tingxuan's lips rose slightly.

Now, the truly formidable figures had finally appeared.

After all, the crowd below had merely come to watch the excitement. Those who truly had the strength and wealth to purchase a soul bone were all in the VIP Rooms on the second floor.

Earlier, Yun Piaopiao had stolen the soul bone using some unknown method.

Thus, they had remained silent for the time being.

But now that the soul bone was right before them, how could they possibly hold back?

A soul bone was an immense temptation to every Soul Master.

After all, every Soul Master's soul skills were fixed: one soul ring, one soul skill.

To gain additional soul skills, one either had to comprehend and create one's own Self-Created Soul Skill.

Or find a way to obtain a soul bone.

Although soul bones were extraordinarily precious and rare, they were still easier to obtain than Self-Created Soul Skills.

After all, one depended entirely on talent, while the other depended only on luck, strength, or wealth.

Si Tingxuan raised the soul bone in his hand toward the VIP Rooms. "It's in my hands now. If you want it, come down and take it directly!"

The woman on the left spoke again. "This was brought here by someone else for auction. As a teacher of Odd Weapons Academy, is behavior equivalent to robbery really appropriate?"

"Robbery?"

Si Tingxuan laughed. "If we're talking about robbers, then that woman from the Fire Leopard Sect is one, and those three who came to auction it are robbers too. I'm the only one who isn't!"

"Even if I did rob it, so what?"

As he spoke, he turned to Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao and asked, "I'm taking your soul bone. Do you have any objections?"

"Damn it."

Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao nearly dropped to their knees.

This was too much bullying!

He had taken their soul bone and was even asking whether they objected!

Damn, was that something a person could do?

Besides, although the soul bone had originally belonged to Yun Piaopiao's brother, they had not stolen it directly from him!

Could something that had changed hands several times still be taken back?

But then they looked at the three members of the Fire Leopard Sect, who were even stronger than them!

"Gulp."

They swallowed hard. Better endure this grievance!

They forced smiles onto their faces and said meekly, "No objections! Not the slightest objection!"

Si Tingxuan said to Yun Piaopiao, who was still kneeling, "Get up!"

Yun Piaopiao looked at Si Tingxuan with a face full of admiration!

She felt that his domineering words and actions just now had been incredibly impressive.

Si Tingxuan continued, "Let me teach you a principle. Reason is only for those willing to reason. When dealing with people who refuse to reason, fists are the best way to reason with them."

Everyone: "..."

The man and woman on the second floor: "..."

Wu Xue, Wu Zheng, and Wu Chao wiped away cold sweat. "...Sure enough, backing down was the right choice. Otherwise, he'd probably have used his fists to reason with us."

Yun Piaopiao nodded fiercely, because she felt Si Tingxuan was absolutely right.

After a while, someone upstairs spoke again. This time, it was the man on the right. "By your logic, can I also take it from you by force?"

Si Tingxuan looked up toward that VIP Room and replied with complete confidence, "You can try!"

"Then I'll try!"

A man leaped down from that VIP Room.

However, his face was covered with a black cloth!

"A man who doesn't even dare show his face? Tsk, tsk!"

Si Tingxuan wore an expression of contempt. In his view, even robbery should be carried out openly and aboveboard.

Sneaking around like some shameful creature was not what a true man would do.

"Hmph!"

The other man snorted coldly. A staff appeared in his hand, with a golden dragon coiled around it.

Si Tingxuan narrowed his eyes at the sight.

Others might not recognize it.

But as a transmigrator, how could he possibly not know?

This martial soul was the Coiling Dragon Staff!

The martial souls of Spirit Hall's Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo were both the Coiling Dragon Staff.

On Douluo Continent, the top three Weapon Souls were the Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Kill Sword, and Soul Breaking Spear.

But personally, he felt the Coiling Dragon Staff deserved a place among them as well.

Otherwise, how could the same martial soul produce two Titled Douluo?

And both were level 96 Super Douluo.

Si Tingxuan narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, soul rings rose around this Coiling Dragon Soul Master.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings—seven in total!

This was a Soul Saint!

"Hiss!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath.

They had never expected a Soul Saint to be drawn here!

But on second thought, it made sense. Even if it was only a thousand-year soul bone, it was still a soul bone.

"Oh no."

Only now did Yun Piaopiao realize how foolish it had been to take out the soul bone before everyone and hand it to Si Tingxuan.

She could not help looking toward Si Tingxuan. In her heart, no matter how strong he was.

He was only Invincible at the Same Rank. Against a Soul Saint, his chances of winning were almost zero.

Yet what she saw was Si Tingxuan's incomparably confident gaze and a fighting spirit burning across his face.

"This..."

But in the next moment, Si Tingxuan gave a light wave of his hand, and her entire body flew away.

She landed directly inside the VIP Room that had belonged to the Coiling Dragon Soul Saint.

Clearly, he did not want the coming battle to affect her.
