Within moments, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai had assembled.
The three of them were the openly known Soul Masters in the hotel.
As for the ordinary people, they were still cowering in the corners, trembling.
"Dai Mubai, martial soul: White Tiger. Level thirty-seven Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder. Please enlighten me."
"Tang San, martial soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level twenty-nine Control System Battle Soul Master. Please enlighten me."
"Xiao Wu, martial soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. Level twenty-nine Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please enlighten me."
The three assumed their formation and addressed Chu Sheng.
In a formal battle between Soul Masters, introducing themselves was a necessary procedure, a mark of respect for their opponents.
"Chu Sheng, martial soul: Nüba."
Introducing himself like that showed that Chu Sheng held his opponents in complete contempt.
It was utterly disrespectful!
Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu burned with fury when they heard him.
Tang San, however, stiffened and looked at Chu Sheng in disbelief.
Was this Nüba the Nüba he remembered?
His teacher was a master of martial soul theory who had studied martial souls extensively.
He had read every book on martial souls, yet he had never come across the name Nüba!
If... if this was the Nüba he remembered, this battle would be dangerous!
"Nüba?"
Ning Rongrong scratched her head, looking utterly bewildered.
She had never heard of this martial soul either. It was most likely some kind of mutated martial soul.
"I won't be releasing my martial soul."
"Go ahead."
Chu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back and spoke without expression.
"???"
Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were dumbfounded.
He wasn't releasing his martial soul?
"You rotten jerk, you're fighting Soul Masters without releasing your martial soul?"
"Is your brain broken?!"
Ning Rongrong was completely floored and cried out.
She wanted to see Chu Sheng get beaten up, but not like this!
"Wait, how are we supposed to fight if you don't release your martial soul?"
Dai Mubai spread his hands, rather speechless.
He had finally found a decent opponent, only for the other guy to turn out to be a complete idiot...
Wasn't this just a farce?
"Show-off! Even if you don't use your martial soul, Sister Xiao Wu won't go easy on you!"
Tang San was calculating the potential gap in their strength, while Dai Mubai was weighing whether this was fair. Xiao Wu was different.
She couldn't stand someone who showed off like this and attacked immediately!
Xiao Wu swept her hands behind her, bent her body like a bow, and charged toward Chu Sheng.
The lobby was small to begin with. She could cross that distance in the blink of an eye.
"You let Xiao Wu get close. You're in for it now!"
The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth lifted, and her first soul ring flashed.
"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"
She kicked toward Chu Sheng's kidney without holding back in the slightest.
Since she intended to teach Chu Sheng a lesson, why would she hold back?
As she drew closer, she could see more clearly.
Xiao Wu saw no fear on Chu Sheng's face, only the trace of a smile.
"Form Shift."
Chu Sheng quietly uttered those words, and his figure vanished.
In an instant, Tang San, who had been preparing to gain a little combat experience, appeared where Chu Sheng had been standing.
Tang San and Xiao Wu: "???"
Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong: "???"
Tang Hao: "???"
Never mind Tang San and the others-even Tang Hao, watching from the shadows, couldn't understand it!
Without releasing his martial soul or producing any soul bone fluctuations, Chu Sheng had swapped places with Tang San?
"Holy shit!"
Xiao Wu's enhanced kick landed squarely on Tang San's waist.
The blow sent Tang San flying several meters before he crashed to the floor.
"Hiss..."
Tang San couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air, his scalp tingling.
He had been careless that time and hadn't dodged!
"Third Brother!!"
Xiao Wu cried out and hurried to Tang San.
"Third Brother, are you all right?"
Tang San's face was pale. Not wanting Xiao Wu to worry, he waved a hand and said,
"Not dead!"
That had been close. He had nearly met the sect leader from his previous life!
Chu Sheng's "skill" was terrifying indeed!
"Damn it, I underestimated you!"
Dai Mubai snapped to his senses. His opponent hadn't been joking about not releasing his martial soul.
If he possessed such combat strength without releasing his martial soul, he couldn't blame Dai Mubai for going all out!
"First soul skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
"Third soul skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai had no intention of becoming a second Tang San. He would maximize his defenses first.
Tang San's original position hadn't been far from Dai Mubai.
After swapping places with Tang San, Chu Sheng stood right beside Dai Mubai.
Enhanced by two powerful soul skills, Dai Mubai's body swelled, making him look far more imposing.
Without hesitation, he struck at Chu Sheng with his palm.
Of course, to prevent Chu Sheng from using "Form Shift" again, he held back enough strength to withdraw his attack at any moment.
That previous exchange had caught them completely off guard.
They wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
"You rotten bastard! You actually used Third Brother to block an attack. You've already chosen the Way of Seeking Death!"
"???"
Tang San glanced sideways at Xiao Wu, utterly baffled. Wasn't that his line?
"It looks like I'll have to take this battle seriously."
"First soul skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Chu Sheng's lips parted slightly, but he stopped himself from speaking.
What the hell do you mean, the Way of Seeking Death?!
You're getting serious?
And you're still shouting Blue Silver Entanglement?
Nope. This exhilarating battle couldn't go on!
He wasn't afraid of Blue Silver Entanglement. His stomach was simply churning from sheer disgust...
Facing Dai Mubai's palm, Xiao Wu's leg, and Tang San's entangle... Entanglement, my ass!
With a casual wave of Chu Sheng's hand, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Tang San were gathered together in one spot.
The three floated in midair, looking utterly bewildered.
What had happened?
From everyone else's perspective, the three had appeared out of thin air in front of Chu Sheng, then hung suspended in the air.
From Chu Sheng's perspective, the space surrounding them had become rectangular boxes, each enclosing one of them.
Spatial Cage!
Unless they possessed the strength to shatter space, they couldn't get out...
Soon, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu discovered the problem.
They were floating in the air, yet they couldn't reach the outside world!
Invisible walls surrounded them!
Above, below, on every side...
Everyone looked at Tang San and the others, then at Chu Sheng.
What was going on?
Was the battle over?
But Tang San and the others were just floating there, and Chu Sheng hadn't attacked.
Could this even count as a battle?
Ning Rongrong, emboldened by her own abilities, walked up beside Chu Sheng and asked in confusion,
"What happened to them?"
"Why don't you try it and find out?"
Chu Sheng glanced sideways at Ning Rongrong and casually waved his hand.
Ning Rongrong: "..."
A short while later, she finally understood.
Just what kind of suffering Tang San and the others were enduring!
This was like being shut inside six walls that let you see the outside world. You could see everything, but you couldn't get out!
Even sound couldn't pass through...
"You rotten jerk, let me out!!"
Ning Rongrong pounded on the spatial wall, crying out in grief and indignation.
She had only asked what had happened, and the rotten jerk had made her try it herself!
Then again, was the rotten jerk really this powerful?
She had thought Chu Sheng was merely a Soul Grandmaster...
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that, without even releasing his martial soul, he could deal with two Soul Grandmasters and a Soul Elder with a casual wave of his hand.
If he released his martial soul, how powerful would he be?
