In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Ah Si, it seems you know that Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit." Ye Lingling got up and walked to Lan Si, smiling as she spoke.

"Well, I guess so. Just an annoying old rabbit. Let's go, we should head back." Lan Si shrugged slightly, turned around, took off his mask, and walked towards the exit of the Soul Arena.

Ye Lingling nodded without asking any further questions and followed Lan Si's steps, the two walking side by side.

Stepping out of the Great Soul Arena and strolling along the wide, bright streets, Ye Lingling skipped over the previous topic: "Ah Si, I noticed you didn't seem to use your Martial Soul just now. How did you defeat that Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Master? That guy seemed quite strong, especially in close combat. He was even stronger than Osro and the others. Plus, his Soul Skill that allowed him to teleport and his Charm Soul Skill were usually hard for any Soul Master of the same level to withstand."

Lan Si smiled and shook his head, explaining, "It's just some simple combat techniques. If used properly, they can often produce unexpected results. We'll be fighting here at night during this period, so we have plenty of time during the day. I'll teach you a few self-defense moves when I have some free time."

"As for that alluring soul skill, it is ultimately just a simple mental attack. Although it can temporarily confuse people's minds, as long as your mental strength is strong enough, there is nothing to fear."

Lan Si wouldn't teach, nor could she teach, the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, because these require starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, opening up the acupoints throughout the body, and cultivating layer by layer. If Ye Lingling had previously practiced a certain technique, even the lowest level, she could skip the Foundation Establishment stage after switching to this technique and then gradually advance through the levels without affecting her previous cultivation.

However, this is clearly unrealistic. Ye Lingling's soul power is the accompanying soul power generated when her martial soul awakens, and it has been improved level by level through meditation. It has already reached level thirty-five. If she were to switch cultivation, she would have to give up all of this existing soul power and start from scratch, which would be a loss.

However, some grappling-like moves and simple footwork are possible, as long as you possess soul power. With these, and Lan Si preparing a set of firearms for her, she wouldn't need to fear even encountering soul masters of the same level. In fact, she could even use the firearms to turn the tables and kill them unexpectedly.

Hearing Lan Si's words, Ye Lingling's eyes lit up noticeably, and she chuckled, "Ah Si, I feel you're amazing, you know even more than Teacher Qin Ming. But, is it really alright for you to teach me those combat techniques? Being able to defeat a Soul Master of the same level without relying on Martial Soul and Soul Ring Skills—such a technique is arguably the most top-tier self-created Soul Skill. Its value is immeasurable. Some support-type Soul Masters would treasure it, because it can give non-aggressive support-type Soul Masters combat power."

“If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t teach them, but you’re my cousin, we share the same blood, so teaching you isn’t a big deal. Besides, those moves are easy to learn but difficult to master. How far you can go in your studies depends on yourself,” Lan Si said with a light laugh.

Hearing this, Ye Lingling felt a warm current flow through her heart, and then Lan Si said, "I'll also give you a few weapons for self-defense later."

Ye Lingling's pretty face beneath the veil revealed a sweet smile, "Then I, your cousin, will be watching closely, Cousin A Si."

Lan Si nodded, then suddenly realized something was following him. It hadn't been noticeable from a distance, so he hadn't paid it any mind, since he hadn't sensed any hostility.

Just now, Lan Si sensed that the other party's soul power had obviously surged. Although it wasn't exactly hostile, he could still sense that excited anger.

Lan Si glanced at a dark corner in the distance behind him and thought to himself, "Could it be that those guys from Shrek Academy are looking for an opportunity to seek revenge?"

P.S.: Third update

Chapter Fifty-Two: Goodbye Kitten

The hotel where Huang Dou was staying was not far from the Soto City Great Soul Battle. After sending Ye Lingling back to her place, Lan Si changed his clothes and walked out of the hotel again.

Looking at the figure in the corner, although it was well hidden under the cover of night, it still did not escape Lan Si's perception.

He then turned into a deserted alley and hid in the shadows.

As the latter approached, he discovered that she appeared to be a woman. He immediately grabbed her, wrapped one arm around her delicate body, and covered her mouth with the other.

Feeling the astonishing touch from her elbow, Lan Si was horrified. This size, my goodness, could it be a kitten? She then asked in a low voice, "Are you Zhu Qing?"

"Woo woo..." The kitten's whimpering came from my arms.

"Zhuqing, what are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous that was? What if I had accidentally hurt you?" Hearing that familiar voice, Lan Si finally recognized her and released the kitten's mouth. However, she still didn't let go, maintaining the position of hugging the kitten from behind, cursing inwardly, "This damn softness, I should have rolled up my sleeves, this outfit is too good for me."

"Ah Si, let me go first." Held tightly in Lan Si's arms, with her conscience close to Lan Si's elbow, separated only by two layers of clothing, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little breathless, her pretty face almost red to the roots of her ears, and she said coquettishly.

"Ah...oh." Lan Si reluctantly let go of Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing gently covered her chest with her jade hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her anxiety. After a while, she turned around and looked at Lan Si's handsome face, which was a little more mature than a few months ago. She asked somewhat nervously, "A-Si, was that 'I love eating rabbit meat' who had a one-on-one soul battle with Xiao Wu in the Great Soul Arena just now yours?"

"Yes, I saw you too, but I didn't go up to greet them. After all, they are your classmates, and I didn't want you to be caught in the middle," Lan Si smiled and answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warm current flow through her heart. Seemingly afraid that Lan Si would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand. Although I'm classmates with them, I haven't had much contact with them... especially Dai Mubai, and Tang San and Xiao Wu as well. I hardly spoke to them at Shrek Academy..."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, who usually has a cool and aloof personality, looking like a little girl afraid her boyfriend might misunderstand, Lan Si immediately understood. He smiled and shook his head, skipping the previous topic, "Zhuqing, how have you been lately?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Yes. Although Shrek Academy doesn't have many cultivation facilities, it has several Soul Saint and Soul Emperor teachers to protect us, so we don't have to worry about being chased by my sister like before."

"That's good."

"A-Si, just now..."

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"You want to know who the girl with me is, right?" Lan Si asked back.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and lowered her head nervously, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Lan Si smiled faintly, walked closer to Zhu Zhuqing, placed one hand on her fragrant shoulder, and lifted her fragrant cheek with the other.

The two remained frozen in silence, their reflections shimmering in each other's pupils.

Zhu Zhuqing's skin was as white as winter snow, and her dark eyes, filled with a hint of worry and shyness, seemed to ripple. With each blink, her long eyelashes swayed gently. Beneath her beautiful eyes was a delicate, pointed nose and red lips that forced a smile as she exhaled.

At that moment, it was as if the world had fallen completely silent, leaving only the two of them.

Zhu Zhuqing's delicate shoulders trembled slightly, and her beautiful black hair swayed with them.

Without further hesitation, Lan Si answered with action, kissing Zhu Zhuqing's lips in her astonished gaze.

After a long while, their lips parted, both of them slightly out of breath, their eyes meeting, tears still glistening at the corners of their mouths, their gazes burning like fire.

Lan Si wiped Zhu Zhuqing's lips, licked them, and smiled, "Zhuqing, do you have any more questions now?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head shyly and slowly leaned into Lan Si's arms, everything understood without words.

............

Meanwhile, while Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing were enjoying their time together, the Shrek Six Monsters had already gathered at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena.

Upon seeing Flander waiting at the door, the Shrek Five, except for Xiao Wu, all stepped forward to greet him, "Dean."

"Is everyone here? If they are, we should head back." Flander nodded, glancing at the Shrek Six Monsters, but noticed that Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were nowhere to be seen. Moreover, Tang San was carrying a chubby girl. He frowned and asked in surprise, "What? Where are Zhuqing and Xiao Wu? Why haven't they come out yet? And Tang San, why are you carrying a chubby girl?"

Upon hearing that Flander had mistaken Xiao Wu for the fat woman, Tang San's already gloomy face darkened even more, and he said in a deep voice, "Dean, Zhu Qing has already returned. The one in my arms is Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu?" Flander's pupils suddenly contracted, his face showing disbelief. He looked Xiao Wu up and down again and found that apart from the different face, the clothes, figure and hairstyle were indeed Xiao Wu. He quickly asked, "What exactly happened? How could Xiao Wu be beaten like this? Even I almost didn't recognize her."

Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "She was beaten like this in a one-on-one soul battle by someone. That person was extremely ruthless, and every move was aimed at Xiao Wu's face. Xiao Wu was beaten like this by that bastard."

"What? Who is so ruthless? A friendly sparring match should have ended there, yet they dare to use such a vicious attack." Upon hearing this, Flander was immediately enraged. He was a very protective person, and now that he heard that someone had beaten his student like this, he wouldn't kill him, but he would definitely teach him a lesson.

Tang San shook his head: "That person, like us, used a false name and wore a mask, so we couldn't identify him."

Flander continued, "What about the spirit? Although we have no right to ask the Soul Arena to reveal that person's information, knowing the spirit will make the investigation much easier. How dare he harm my Shrek student? I think he has a death wish."

Tang San shook his head again. He couldn't bring himself to say, "I love eating rabbit meat." He had defeated Xiao Wu without using his spirit. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Dean, I'll settle this score in the Spirit Arena later. What about my teacher?"

"Well, as long as that person is still in the Soul Arena, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As for your teacher, he had to go back early because of some business," Flander said with a sigh.

The fact that Tang San could be matched with Xiao Wu in a one-on-one soul battle means that his strength must be that of a Soul Master. Tang San's strength is almost invincible among Soul Masters. Even Dai Mubai, who has the top-tier martial soul White Tiger and a soul power of level 38, is no match for Tang San. So he has nothing to worry about.

Chapter 53 Dai Mubai is cheated on.

"Dean, how is Xiao Wu?" Tang San looked anxiously at Flander, who was examining Xiao Wu.

At this moment, he had never hated his own incompetence so much, and his desire for power was stronger than ever before.

If he were strong enough, he wouldn't let Xiao Wu get hurt. He wouldn't need to worry about the power behind the Great Soul Fighter when facing the one who hurt Xiao Wu, 'I love eating rabbit meat,' and would directly kill him.

Why did they have to let Xiao Wu get injured, fall into a coma, and lose consciousness?

Flander released his grip on Xiaowu's arm, shaking his head and sighing, "Strange, really strange."

"Dean, what's wrong? Could it be Xiao Wu...?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu is not injured. I just used my soul power to check her body and found that apart from her face being swollen from the heavy blow, the rest of her body is completely intact and has not suffered any injuries. At most, it's like an ordinary person falling down, except that Xiao Wu fell a little harder."

“But…” Flander shook his head and frowned, “Logically speaking, Xiao Wu should have woken up long ago, but she is still in a coma, which is really puzzling.”

"Could it be that his spirit suffered a backlash, causing him to fall into a coma? During the Soul Battle, Xiao Wu used her 'Charm' Soul Skill on that 'I Love Rabbit Meat' guy, but it was countered," Dai Mubai said hesitantly.

Oscar chimed in, "That's not out of the question. I remember on the day of the entrance exam, Xiao Wu used her charm soul skill on Teacher Zhao Wuji, but because Teacher Zhao Wuji was too strong, she was knocked unconscious by the backlash."

“It’s probably not that likely.” Flander shook his head and said, “Xiao Wu’s charm soul skill belongs to an extremely rare mental attack. If her mental power is affected by the backlash, her face will turn very pale and her body will become weak. Xiao Wu does not show any signs of mental backlash.”

Standing to the side, Ning Rongrong listened to everyone's comments, shook her head helplessly, and sighed, "I have to say, you guys really don't understand women's hearts."

"Rongrong, Xiaowu is in such a state, and you're still making sarcastic remarks," Ma Hongjun said, somewhat displeased.

"I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, go find a healing-type Soul Master right now and heal Xiao Wu's facial injuries. I guarantee Xiao Wu will be lively and energetic again immediately." Ning Rongrong spread her hands, speechless. Compared to men, women understand women better. Putting herself in her shoes, if she were beaten into a pig's head, she would probably pretend to faint before her injuries healed.

“You mean…” The shrewd Flander quickly understood Ning Rongrong’s meaning and turned to Oscar, saying, “Little Oscar, quickly give me two healing sausages.”

"Dean, I already gave it to her, but Xiao Wu is unconscious and can't open her mouth to eat at all," Oscar said helplessly.

"This..." A hint of hesitation flashed in Flander's eyes. After a long pause, he said with a pained expression, "Tang San, take Xiao Wu and come with me somewhere. I know a decent healing-type Soul Master in Soto City. But the cost..."

"I'll pay for it, Dean. I'm willing to go bankrupt if it means giving up everything I own, as long as Xiao Wu can wake up," Tang San said firmly.

"Alright, Hongjun, Mubai, Xiao'ao, Rongrong, you guys go back to the inn first, and check if Zhuqing has returned yet." Hearing that Tang San was paying the bill, Flander immediately stopped hesitating and led the way, with Tang San carrying Xiaowu and following closely behind.

Only Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Dai Mubai walked in front, with Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun following behind.

As Oscar walked, he asked Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"What else could it mean? Xiao Wu actually woke up a long time ago, but she just didn't want to." Ning Rongrong shrugged slightly.

"So Xiao Wu was faking it?" Dai Mubai turned around and asked Ning Rongrong.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded.

"But why is she pretending! Doesn't she know how worried Third Brother is about him?" Hearing their conversation, Ma Hongjun, the phoenix of the brothel, quickly pressed for an answer.
