"Boss, are all the young Soul Masters out here this weak?"
"That black-haired little hater looks about your age. You're already a Soul King, but he hasn't even reached Soul Elder?"
"And that blond beside him hasn't even reached Soul Ancestor."
Yan spoke with a look of surprise.
As members of the former Golden Generation, and with Jiang Huai constantly pushing them over the years,
Xie Yue and Yan had now reached Soul King earlier than they had in the original story.
On top of that, Zhu Zhuyun and Dugu Yan, who had joined later, had also displayed combat prowess so terrifying.
The two had always believed that the enormous gap existed because they had not cultivated hard enough.
Now that they looked at it, once they left Spirit City, the sky was bright after all!
"Yan, what's there to make such a fuss about?"
"Looks like you'll need to settle down and temper yourself some more once we get back."
As everyone chatted and laughed, the rather dull Soul Fighting match ahead had already reached its end.
"Tang San, if I were only a Soul Grandmaster, you would have won this spar."
"But I'm already a Soul Elder now. Using a thousand-year Soul Skill against you as you are now would make this a somewhat unfair victory."
"Still, I think we'll meet again very soon."
Hearing this, Third Brother felt a little pleased with himself.
Sure enough, under his esteemed teacher's guidance, even though he was only a Soul Grandmaster now, he could still trade blows with this terrifyingly powerful Soul Elder before him.
"Brother, you're too kind."
"I, Tang San, merely got lucky this time."
Huh? You got lucky too?
According to Shrek's school motto, those who dared not stir up trouble were mediocre. Dai Mubai had even been the one to start the trouble, so logically, he should not have been behaving with such polished grace.
But Jiang Huai and the others were dressed so strikingly that Dai Mubai had locked onto Zhu Zhuyun, Hu Liena, Tianyao, and Dugu Yan at first glance.
With beauties before him, how could he remain unmoved?
And so, under the somewhat astonished gazes of Jiang Huai and the others, Dai Mubai put on what he thought was a very handsome expression, then slowly walked forward.
"Greetings, four lovely ladies. Might I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"
The four women he had addressed looked at one another, all unable to keep a straight face.
Seriously, who did he think he was, trying to hit on them?
Sure enough, aside from Jiang Huai, who was pure as ice and immaculate as jade, all the other possessors of the White Tiger Martial Soul were filthy trash like this.
"Dai Mubai, has it been so long that you've forgotten your big sister?"
Zhu Zhuyun spoke with a smile.
Huh?
What's going on?
This chick knows me?
Could she be some plaything I'd had an intimate exchange with before?
Dai Mubai lowered his head and racked his brains, but truly could not come up with anything.
That's not right!
If I'd met such an exquisite beauty before, how could I have no recollection of her?
Yet just then, the White Tiger Martial Soul within Dai Mubai inexplicably felt two stirrings.
One came from Jiang Huai's direction, while the other came from the woman speaking to him.
In a flash of lightning, Dai Mubai understood!
"You're Zhu Zhuyun?"
"Oh, to think the illustrious third prince still remembers me."
"But didn't I hear that after I went to Spirit City, you and your elder brother started fighting over my foolish little sister?"
"Why are you here in Suotuo City now?"
"Could it be that you've become a coward?"
At these words, Dai Mubai's face instantly turned livid.
Indeed, a large part of the reason she had fled here was that her foolish elder brother had kept bullying her.
But setting the facts aside, if this woman, Zhu Zhuyun, had not been abducted so easily by the people from Spirit City back then, would he have lost his fiancée?
Feeling everyone's pointing fingers and stares, Dai Mubai instantly flew into a humiliated rage.
"Zhu Zhuyun, how dare you!"
In Dai Mubai's view, so what if he was a prince who received little regard?
What right did Zhu Zhuyun, a traitor to the Zhu Family, have to speak to him like that?
Dai Mubai let his White Tiger Martial Soul possess him once more, then charged straight toward her.
"What a little tiger who doesn't know his place."
"Xie Yue, Yan, stand aside! Let your great-aunt here take him on."
As she spoke, Tianyao, who had long been rubbing her fists in anticipation, abruptly completed her Golden Crocodile King possession.
Her entire body turned a dazzling gold, her arms covered in the Crocodile King's armor,
Then, beneath her feet, her yellow, yellow, purple, black, black Soul Ring Configuration revealed itself!
"A Soul King?"
"And that Soul Ring Configuration? How is that possible?"
Dai Mubai could not believe what he was seeing, and his eyes instantly cleared.
Yet before he could react,
Tianyao's figure flashed in the next instant,
And when she appeared again, her golden crocodile claw had already slammed straight into Dai Mubai's face!
"Third Brother, shouldn't we leave first?"
Xiao Wu spoke from the side with a frown.
For some reason, ever since this group had entered, perhaps out of her instincts as a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, she had kept feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Moreover, as a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit who had taken human form, it would not have been an exaggeration to call Xiao Wu the Soft Bone Rabbit Empress.
Yet even with her top-tier bloodline, she felt a suppression originating from her bloodline when facing the Golden Crocodile King.
Add to that a ten-thousand-year fourth ring...
Was there any need to ask where these people came from?
What if their protector was a Soul Douluo expert?
Wouldn't she, Xiao Wu, be done for?
Yet Tang San had no intention of leaving.
After all, he had studied under Grandmaster Yu for six whole years, and Third Brother had a fairly thorough understanding of the distribution of the continent's major powers.
A White Tiger Martial Soul?
Was it the hereditary Martial Soul of the Dai Family's imperial clan?
Besides, this clearly had not been Dai Mubai's first visit to this hotel. Obviously, he had been living in Suotuo City for a long time.
There was a very high chance that he was a student of Shrek Academy, where Tang San was about to go.
Now that he had encountered a future companion in trouble,
There was absolutely no reason for him, Tang San, to stand by and do nothing!
Not to mention that piece of news which had spread across the continent back then,
Spirit Hall was suspected of possessing a secret method for absorbing Soul Rings beyond one's limits?
Even with some wisdom to his name, that little crew-cut teacher of his had only allowed him to barely absorb a second Soul Ring of over nine hundred years.
Tang San could not help looking toward Jiang Huai.
Could this be the Supreme Pontiff's second disciple?
If I could also master that secret method for absorbing Soul Rings beyond my limits...
