White Soul Ring

The gang of lackeys immediately split into two packs like wolfhounds.

The three strongest men at the front wore revolting grins as they moved to surround Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing first.

Seeing those three surround the two girls, the others did not dare move in for a share of the spoils. Instead, they backed away from the trio with some fear.

"Go surround that brat! Don't let him get away!" The strongest of the three pointed his iron club at Tang San and shouted.

But the rest stayed rooted to the spot, not daring to move. Tang San had already unleashed his Blue Silver Grass martial soul ahead of them, and dozens of arm-thick strands of blue silver grass were spreading out.

The Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster flew into a rage. These bastards! He had kept them fed for over half a year, yet apart from those three who had cultivated a tiny bit of soul power, the rest were all useless trash.

"Trash! You're all trash!" he roared.

The scar on his face writhed as he shouted, making him look utterly terrifying.

A dangerous aura rose from the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. As it emerged, a weapon appeared in his right hand-a long spear, its entire shaft an eerie blood-red. An inexplicable sense of danger spread from the spear.

The Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster bent his knees, and the first white soul ring on his body swiftly lit up. Pushing off the ground with his toes, he charged straight at Tang San, spear in hand.

"Mere blue silver grass, and you dare run wild? So what if you have the optimal soul ring configuration? Just watch me teach you how to behave today!" The Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster's voice was deafening.

Opposite him, Tang San's expression turned grave. This was a difficult opponent. The spear in the man's right hand seemed to have locked onto him; if he failed to dodge, he would certainly be gravely injured.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!" Tang San unleashed his signature footwork, and his figure instantly began to blur.

The Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster in midair grew furious. This brat actually dared to dodge! He was about to change the direction of his attack when he suddenly sensed intense danger behind him. Instinctively, he swung his spear backward.

A long whip had just coiled around his right foot, and a girl's sharp cry rang out from below: "First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"

Tang San was on the verge of breaking down. Xiao Wu and the Blood-Colored Long Spear were about to collide. If that spear struck her, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Xiao Wu had not expected the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster to react so quickly either. She had thought she could get her attack in first.

Danger drew ever closer to her, and the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster revealed a savage grin.

"Xiao Wu, no! Get away!"

Tang San was nearly frantic. Countless strands of blue silver grass surged upward from the ground as he tried to save his little sister before the spear struck her.

Time seemed to stop at that moment. Everyone present wore a different expression: regret, pity, delight in another's misfortune, and even despair.

"Roar!" A tiger's roar thundered through the air, frightening everyone senseless. Even the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster jolted in alarm, nearly losing his grip on his spear.

As everyone stood bewildered, the sky darkened, and even the neon lights were almost blotted out.

Suddenly, an enormous shape appeared out of thin air, giving everyone a fright. Their gazes slowly shifted upward. There, in midair, was actually a tiger soul beast.

The blood-red spear collided with the enormous tiger paw.

Bang-!

Sparks instantly flew in all directions, along with little sprays of blood that splashed onto the nearby ground.

Xiao Wu immediately snapped out of her fright. She hurriedly shifted her posture, performed several consecutive flips in midair, and landed beside Zhu Zhuqing. She looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion.

Tang San had also been startled. Seeing that Xiao Wu was safe, he hurried forward.

Several men holding iron clubs tried to stop him, only for Tang San to bind them with blue silver grass and hoist them into the air. With a few leaps using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he reached Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, are you all right? You scared me to death," Tang San asked urgently.

Had Xiao Wu not been a girl, he would have stepped forward to check exactly where she was injured.

"Brother San, I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you." Xiao Wu had long since forgotten that she was angry with Tang San. She trotted over, hugged his arm, and gently rested against his shoulder.

Out on the street, an enormous tiger soul beast was locked in fierce combat with the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. Judging by the battle, the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster actually had the upper hand.

Several bloody holes had already appeared on the tiger soul beast's body, and it roared in fury.

Zhu Zhuqing was already gritting her teeth. This Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger was far too weak. It could not even beat a Soul Grandmaster with a trash soul ring configuration. She was tempted to reveal her martial soul and join the fight herself.

Tang San looked toward the street in puzzlement. He knew the tiger soul beast was nearing its limit. Without help, its defeat was certain.

"Zhu Zhuqing, did you summon that?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Apart from himself, Xiao Wu, and the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, no one else here could possibly possess such an ability. Yet Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul was a bow. However he thought about it, it should not have a summoning skill.

That was what puzzled him. Besides, Zhu Zhuqing had not even cultivated to rank ten yet, let alone obtained her first soul ring.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. There was no hiding this; everyone would find out sooner or later anyway. When the time came, she could attribute it to martial soul mutation and say it was a soul skill that came with her awakening.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod, Tang San gave her a surprised look. He was deeply puzzled, but this clearly was not the time for so many questions. He prepared to act; the tiger out on the street was about to fall.

When Xiao Wu heard that Zhu Zhuqing had summoned it, her moist, adorable eyes immediately lit up. She studied Zhu Zhuqing closely, as though she wanted to get to know this girl all over again.

Blue silver grass emerged beneath Tang San's feet and continued growing. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he stepped across the blue silver grass and raced toward the middle of the street.

"Take care of the rest of the trash. I'm going to help the big tiger." Tang San's voice drifted back from ahead.

"Brother San..." Xiao Wu was a little worried.

Seeing Tang San step in, Zhu Zhuqing immediately relaxed. She had nearly revealed her twin martial souls just now. With Tang San helping the Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger, this battle should be in the bag.

"Sister Zhu Zhuqing, hmm?"

Xiao Wu smiled and gave Zhu Zhuqing a meaningful look.

Zhu Zhuqing understood instantly and returned the look with a smile of her own. Cold laughter escaped the two beautiful girls' lips, sounding utterly eerie.

Xiao Wu, in particular, kept clenching her fists, strange sounds coming from her little hands: "Creak, crackle."

"What are you trying to do? This shop is under the City Lord's protection! Are you courting death?"

Watching the two girls approach him, the man in gold-rimmed glasses kept retreating. Frightened, he picked up an iron club from the ground, then raised it and waved it wildly about.

A dozen or so burly men nearby, all holding iron clubs, slowly gathered around as well.

One One-Ring Soul Master and one girl without a soul ring-they figured they could easily win. Once they captured these two girls, wouldn't that brat outside meekly submit?
