Cold on the Outside, ? on the Inside: Shocking Everyone!

"Fire Burst: Burning!"

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Rumble-

In an instant, a streak of blazing red light collided violently with a flash of white, producing a tremendous crash.

Manager Wang of the Rose Hotel was nearly in tears. The hotel entrance, once neat and pristine, was now covered in cracks, and a few flames still burned on the ground.

"Lord Soul Masters, I'm begging you, please stop fighting~" Manager Wang wanted to cry, but had no tears.

Nearby, Tang San watched from a safe distance with Xiao Wu beside him, his eyes glowing faintly purple. This was the Purple Demon Eye from the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

What kind of Soul Skill is that? He didn't even use a Soul Ring!

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply. Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had felt threatened by someone his own age!

Wait, could that be a Self-Created Soul Skill?

At that moment, Tang San seemed to realize something and drew a sharp breath.

In the past, Tang San had used the Tang Sect arts he had learned in his previous life, such as Mysterious Jade Hand, the movement technique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the grappling technique Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon.

His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and even the level-forty-something Soul Ancestor at Nuoding Academy had all agreed that these must be Tang San's own Self-Created Soul Skills.

But Tang San knew perfectly well that they were all Tang Sect Secret Arts. He had never actually created a single Soul Skill of his own.

And yet, right before him...

That boy looks about the same age as Xiao Wu and me, yet he managed to create his own Soul Skill. No wonder Teacher sent Xiao Wu and me all the way to Suotuo City...

This place really is brimming with talent! Tang San's eyes lit up. He felt that a certain Grandmaster was growing ever more brilliant, and the image of his teacher grew ever more imposing.

If Tianyu had known Tang San's inner thoughts, he would probably have been speechless and retorted on the spot:

Where did this Gangzi come from? Don't drag him into this!

"How is that possible? You didn't even use a Soul Skill, yet the damage from those flames just now was comparable to my second Soul Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. What was more, after their clash just now, Tianyu had grown even more brazen, right there in front of him...

"Zhu Zhuqing, are you all right?" Tianyu asked, gently comforting her as he held her by her slender waist. The feeling of doing this in front of her fiancé made his blood boil.

"Mas... Tianyu, I'm fine. Thank you!"

Under her master's orders, Zhu Zhuqing corrected herself in time, a gentle smile appearing on her normally cold face.

He watched his fiancée being intimate with another man, when she had been so cold to him, looking aloof and utterly uninterested in men.

Yet in front of that man, she was so delicate and tender, smiling sweetly. Dai Mubai even kept getting the impression that his aloof fiancée was actually at her sweetest behind closed doors!

Tianyu: "Good, so you know. Slurp~"

"I wonder whether this brother's sudden sneak attack, which nearly hurt my girlfriend, was deliberate or an accident?"

Tianyu asked with a perfectly serious expression. At those words, Dai Mubai finally lost his patience. His face was red, veins bulged, and he was panting like a bull.

"Your girlfriend? She's my fiancée!"

In an instant, Dai Mubai's presence surged. Just then, at Manager Wang's urging, the twin sisters who had been about to get a room with Dai Mubai hurried forward to calm him down.

"Young Master Dai, please stop fighting, all right?"

"That's right! We can just give up the room. Later, the two of us sisters will get on top of you together and take very good care of you!"

The sisters stepped forward and grabbed Dai Mubai's arms, displaying their shapely figures as they coaxed him in sweet voices.

At those words, Dai Mubai, who had been standing on the moral high ground, could no longer keep a straight face.

After all, as a seven-spotted ladybug himself, he was no good bird either.

He then looked up and saw that Zhu Zhuqing's expression seemed unchanged, though her beautiful eyes had grown colder.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I..." Dai Mubai still wanted to explain, but the sisters beside him had already begun reaching for his crotch with practiced ease.

Seeing this, he hurriedly shook the twins off and snarled, "You two used-up flowers and broken willows, stay away from me!"

"What do I have to do with either of you?" With that, three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, shone in succession and hovered beneath Dai Mubai's feet, radiating Soul Power fluctuations.

"Bastard, get away from my fiancée!"

"I am Dai Mubai. My Martial Soul is the Evil Eye White Tiger, and I'm a level 37 assault-type Battle Soul Elder. If you don't want to die, take your hand off her!"

At those words, everyone present gave up hope for Tianyu. After all, he was so young; even if he had some talent and had created a Soul Skill of his own,

he probably still wouldn't be a match for Dai Mubai. Even Tang San shook his head slightly, thinking that Tianyu's Soul Power was probably about the same as his own, making him just a Soul Grandmaster!

"Level 37 Soul Elder?

"Interesting, but you're not qualified to threaten me!" Tianyu sneered, then walked straight up to a spot five paces from Dai Mubai.

Although Tianyu was younger, he hadn't eaten all that Whale Rubber over the years for nothing. As a result, his build was about the same as Dai Mubai's.

"My name is Tianyu. My Martial Soul is the Scarlet Flame Lion, and I'm a level 33 assault-type Battle Soul Elder. Please enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little Scarlet Flame Lion let out a roar and bounced out from Zhu Zhuqing's chest. It landed on Tianyu's shoulder with a smack and hissed furiously.

At the same time, inside the Rose Hotel, three Soul Rings slowly appeared beneath Tianyu's feet as well. They, too, were two yellow and one purple, but the pressure of their Soul Power

was far greater than Dai Mubai's. Of course it was-Tianyu hadn't endured the pain of absorbing Soul Rings beyond his level for nothing!

"A Soul Elder? You're a Soul Elder too!"

Dai Mubai was utterly dumbfounded. Even Tang San's pupils shrank, and he stared open-mouthed in shock. Then, unconsciously, he clenched his fists.

I have the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and I'm twelve years old. After years of painstaking cultivation, with the talent of Innate Full Soul Power and all the effort I could muster, my Soul Power has only just broken through to level 29!

I originally thought that even after leaving Nuoding City, my talent wouldn't fall too far behind others my age.

But I've only just arrived in the big city of Suotuo, and already someone's talent far surpasses mine. His Soul Power Level has even broken through to level 33, making him a Soul Elder.

The heroes of the world really are as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river! Tang San couldn't help marveling inwardly, and his gaze grew increasingly profound as he looked at Tianyu.

To this, Tianyu only wanted to say, "We're the same age. I didn't originally intend to crush you from a higher dimension!"

Unlike everyone else present, who was focused on Tianyu's Soul Power Level, Xiao Wu had her eyes fixed on the Scarlet Flame Lion that had bounced out of Zhu Zhuqing's cleavage.

"Wow, what a cute Martial Soul! It's so much cuter than Grandmaster's Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, and it's an External Martial Soul too!"

"Hey, wait, where did that little lion bounce out from?"

"An External Martial Soul? Like Teacher's?" Tang San's attention was diverted as well, though he paid little mind to where the Scarlet Flame Lion had come from.

But while others didn't care, Dai Mubai had noticed, and he cared very much.

Dai Mubai: "?"

"Wait... what just bounced out of her cleavage?!" Dai Mubai belatedly realized.

"Aaaah! I'm going to kill you!!!"
