Sister for Brother, Brother for Brother-One Loving Family

Second Sister's combat experience was far too seasoned.

Every step, every strike was precise to the extreme.

This simply wasn't the kind of combat awareness a six-year-old could possess.

Could she have undergone some secret training at Spirit Hall?

It seems Spirit Hall's reserves truly are unfathomable. I'll have to be even more careful when I wipe out these evil soul masters in the future.

Watching the scene from the back of the crowd, Huo Yuhao inwardly grew wary.

Beside him, Qian Renchuan couldn't help grinning as he listened to Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Heh, the youngest does have a decent eye.

But the second-born is the mighty Angel God, after all. Using divine-level experience to bully a little brat—isn't that a completely one-sided beatdown?

On the field, Qian Renxue withdrew her six-winged angel martial soul, her expression cool.

"Was that enough?"

Huyan Ye looked miserable, his face flushed red.

He bitterly resented it, but he had no choice but to acknowledge Qian Renxue's strength.

All he could do was scramble to his feet and slink back into the crowd.

But the students of the Second-Level Class clearly weren't willing to let Qian Renchuan and his siblings off so easily.

Huyan Ye had lost.

They felt humiliated.

Immediately, someone turned toward Huo Yuhao, who had been hiding at the back all along.

"Heh."

"Miss Xue certainly lives up to her reputation. We're thoroughly convinced."

"But there are three of you. Surely you can't let Miss Xue do all the fighting every time?"

"Exactly. Since the Eldest Young Master won't come out, surely you don't intend to sit this out too, Third Young Master?"

"Third Young Master, come show us a few moves!"

Huo Yuhao's expression darkened.

He hadn't expected them to single him out even after he had hidden all the way back here.

But his soul power was only at rank ten, and his martial soul was the Spirit Eyes, which weren't suited to combat. He simply couldn't fight these people.

After gritting his teeth for a moment, Huo Yuhao said bluntly,

"I'm only rank ten. I'm no match for you."

Hearing Huo Yuhao openly back down, they reacted at once.

Rather than restraining themselves, the students of the Second-Level Class grew even more smug.

A round-faced boy stepped out of the crowd with a grin.

"I'll do it."

"I'm the weakest in our class—rank twenty-one, with a tool martial soul."

"Third Young Master, we'll stop before anyone gets hurt. No hard feelings, all right?"

Huo Yuhao's expression darkened further.

He knew perfectly well that they were determined to embarrass him this time, picking on the easiest target.

Unless he brought out the Level One Soul Tool he had just finished making two days earlier. With its power, he could definitely catch the round-faced boy off guard and defeat him.

But that would expose his trump card.

Once those evil soul masters in Spirit Hall discovered that he could make soul tools, they would keep him under strict surveillance.

How would he leave then?

The loss would far outweigh the gain.

Seeing Huo Yuhao hesitate, the people around him sneered even more.

"What? The Third Young Master doesn't dare fight either?"

"Well, well, the Pope's three children really are a perfect set!"

"The Eldest Young Master is a coward who does nothing but lie around sleeping, and the Third Young Master is a weakling who doesn't even dare step into the ring."

"Looks like the Qian Family has to rely on a girl to save face!"

"Exactly! What's so impressive about hiding behind a woman?"

Listening to their mockery, Huo Yuhao's face turned livid, and he clenched his fists.

I was the God of Emotion in my previous life.

How could I accept such humiliation?

Damn them!

Should I just accept?

Even if I have to expose some of my foundation in the Mysterious Heaven Skill, I'll teach these arrogant fools a lesson.

But just as he was about to speak, a lazy voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Say, you lot."

"Did you eat garlic this morning? Your mouths stink so badly, and all this racket is giving me a headache."

"My younger sister was itching for a fight just now and snatched my opponent."

"How did that turn into me hiding, according to you?"

Everyone froze.

They all turned toward the voice.

Only then did they realize that the speaker was Qian Renchuan.

It also seemed they finally remembered what had happened.

Qian Renchuan had indeed been ready to fight earlier, only for Qian Renxue to butt in.

Judging by what he was saying now,

was he planning to fight in Huo Yuhao's place?

The crowd quickly caught on and couldn't help bursting into loud jeers again.

"Eldest Young Master, you certainly picked the perfect time to wake up."

"When our class leader challenged you, you hid behind Miss Xue and played dead. Now that it's the weakest student in our class, you can't wait to come out."

"You're obviously jumping in for an easy win because you think he's easy to bully!"

"Eldest Young Master, aren't you shameless, grabbing an easy win like this? Hahahaha!"

Even Huo Yuhao couldn't help looking at Qian Renchuan with a deep frown.

Damn it, the eldest really is a complete freak!

Now that his opponent is the weakest in the class, he wants to show off? Has he even taken a good look at himself?

Still, this works out. With this idiot in front as my shield, I won't have to fight, and my trump card will stay hidden.

Let him take a beating and learn his lesson.

With that thought,

Huo Yuhao immediately took half a step back, keeping everyone else in front of him as a shield.

Watching her eldest brother step forward, however, Qian Renxue had different thoughts.

The eldest is acting like a clown, but his willingness to step forward proves he has at least a little backbone.

His opponent may be the weakest in the Second-Level Class, but he still has rank twenty-one soul power and two soul skills.

The eldest has never taken part in any training. He sleeps every day and has no combat experience. He's bound to lose this time.

But that's fine too.

Let him suffer a little and lose face in front of everyone. Perhaps it will spark some ambition and make him cultivate properly from now on.

And so, Qian Renchuan walked into the center of the field.

The round-faced boy looked at Qian Renchuan, grinning from ear to ear.

"Eldest Young Master, we'll stop before anyone gets hurt, then."

"Don't worry. I won't hit your face."

"Why do you all talk so much?"

Qian Renchuan yawned and said casually,

"Just get started. I'm sleepy."

The fight began.

Not a single person there thought Qian Renchuan could win. Everyone was waiting to watch him make a fool of himself.

"Martial soul, possess!"

The round-faced boy shouted and released his iron hammer tool martial soul. Two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

"Eldest Young Master, watch out!"

"First soul skill, Heavy Hammer Strike!"

Gripping the iron hammer with both hands, the round-faced boy swung it fiercely at Qian Renchuan.

The hammer hurtled toward him with a menacing rush of wind.

Standing where he was, Qian Renchuan didn't release his six-winged angel martial soul. He merely activated his skin martial soul.

A hum sounded.

A faint glow spread over the surface of his skin.

Qian Renchuan's gaze remained calm as he faced the incoming hammer.

The spiritual power returns he had received from Huo Yuhao's practice of Purple Demon Eyes lately had raised his spiritual strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

In his perception,

the round-faced boy's hammer swing was as slow as a snail.

He could see the hammer's trajectory and landing point with perfect clarity.

The next instant, Qian Renchuan merely shifted slightly to the side, and the hammer thundered down, brushing past his clothes.

It slammed heavily into the ground.

Bang!

The ground cracked apart.

A shallow crater formed.

The round-faced boy instantly froze.

The students around them, who had been ready to cheer, all shut their mouths, their voices cutting off abruptly.

"He... he dodged it?"

"Luck, right? It had to be luck!"

The round-faced boy gritted his teeth, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.

He immediately wrenched the hammer free and activated his second soul ring.

"Second soul skill, Wild Cloak Smash!"
