Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

The environment of the Great Soul Arena was inherently unfavorable to agility-type Soul Masters, and given that Tang San's strength was far superior to Zhu Zhuqing's, Tang San was the natural winner.

After Xiao Wu also took to the stage, only Xiao Yan and Dai Mubai remained among the Shrek Academy students who had not yet engaged in solo spirit battles.

"It's normal that it hasn't been our turn for a long time, why don't you go first..."

Before Dai Mubai could even voice his idea of ​​having the group pair up for a two-person battle, the host on stage announced his name.

"...Facing the newly arrived Battle Soul Master, Yan Xiao, who possesses a flame weapon martial soul!"

Following Dai Mubai's name was Xiao Yan, leaving the Shrek Academy students looking at each other in surprise.

“This time, I won’t hold back!” Dai Mubai stood up and said to Xiao Yan.

"Keep it up!"

Although he was completely unmotivated, Xiao Yan didn't want to dampen Dai Mubai's spirits, so he encouraged Dai Mubai in a rather provocative manner.

The emotional exchange ended there, and the two left the lounge one after the other, heading towards the stands.

It was another new face, and he looked even younger than the previous new faces. Considering the Soul Master's strength announced by the host, cheers and applause had already erupted in the stands before the battle even began.

The host briefly introduced the names and martial spirits of both sides, then signaled that their spirit battle could begin.

"please."

Xiao Yan politely gestured to Dai Mubai in a gesture of deference.

Dai Mubai didn't hold back either. The moment his martial soul was attached to his body, his first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and he gained an additional barrier while undergoing his second transformation.

Immediately afterwards, his body sprang up, rushing towards Xiao Yan with a series of light and shadow, seemingly knowing that Xiao Yan was not good at close combat and wanting to get close to Xiao Yan in the shortest possible time.

Seeing Dai Mubai rushing towards him, Xiao Yan thought for a moment and lit up his first spirit ring.

A colossal fiery beast silently appeared before Xiao Yan—

The moment he saw the fiery behemoth, Dai Mubai's gaze locked onto its body, as if trying to determine the direction of its charge immediately.

Then, a second giant beast appeared, its body even larger than the first. Upon seeing it, Dai Mubai stopped in his tracks.

The third head, the fourth head, the fifth head...

In the end, a total of twenty-three giant beasts surrounded Xiao Yan.

Looking at Xiao Yan surrounded by twenty-three giant beasts, Dai Mubai fell silent, as did the audience in the stands.

Even Flander, who had predicted Xiao Yan's victory from the start and had placed a large bet, fell silent.

Tang San licked his dry lips on the stands, and the next moment, a faint purple light emanated from his eyes.

The moment the purple light appeared, Tang San's eyes widened slightly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

'Is that... Tang San over there?'

Sensing an overly obvious gaze, Xiao Yan subtly glanced in the direction from which it came.

After confirming that the gaze belonged to Tang San, Xiao Yan didn't find it strange. This fiery behemoth was magnificent, but anyone with a little experience could sense that something was amiss.

"rush……"

I surrender!

However, Dai Mubai, who simply raised his hands in surrender before Xiao Yan could even finish saying "charge," should not be included in this category.

Why are you surrendering?!

"Yeah, let's charge in and take him down!"

"Exactly, what's there to be afraid of? It's just the first soul skill."

"Are your three spirit rings just for show?!"

……

Dai Mubai's surrender without a fight aroused dissatisfaction among many spectators in the stands. Apart from gamblers, many people wanted to see the power of the more than twenty giant beasts charging.

You're not the ones who got hurt, so of course you're not afraid!

As Dai Mubai stepped off the arena, he cursed under his breath. One giant fire beast could send him flying; if these twenty-odd ones charged at him, they would surely take half his life.

If your feet get frozen halfway through, it's like being trampled by a giant beast!

At this point, everyone except the two support-type Soul Masters had completed a Soul Battle.

"What's going on? Boss Yan, is your first soul skill that strong?" Back in the lounge, Oscar went straight up to Xiao Yan and asked in shock.

Upon hearing Oscar's question, both Dai Mubai, who had just lost a match, and the other participants in the Soul Battle in the lounge quietly pricked up their ears.

"Tang San should understand it. You can ask Tang San."

Xiao Yan smiled and shifted the topic to Tang San.

"Let's talk about it when we get back; there are too many people around here."

Tang San wasn't someone without a sense of propriety. After noticing the surrounding environment, he shook his head and said, "The Dean also instructed us that we can go straight back after the Soul Battle."

The group had no objections, packed their things, and left the lounge together.

Even after they left the Soul Arena, cheers could still be heard. Today's battle was meaningless for Xiao Yan, but it was quite rewarding for Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Of course, the same was true for Ma Hongjun, who was also beaten and sent flying.

"Oh right, you guys go back first. The dean just asked me to go to his shop."

After taking a few steps, Ma Hongjun suddenly spoke, a hint of excitement flashing in his small eyes.

Of the people present, only Dai Mubai and Oscar understood the meaning of his words.

"Then we'll head back first. Take it easy." At Dai Mubai's prompting, Oscar said this with a strange expression.

"Boss Dai, are you going or not?"

Ma Hongjun ignored Oscar and instead looked at Dai Mubai, who had a serious expression on his face.

"I'm not going. Stop talking nonsense and just go!" Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and said irritably, while glancing at Zhu Zhuqing out of the corner of his eye.

However, Ma Hongjun was clearly bewitched by something at this moment and did not understand Dai Mubai's meaning at all. Instead, he continued, "Let's go, let's go together. Didn't you say that women are not considered part of the population, but rather resources?"

'Goodness, they have a whole host of embarrassing pasts!'

Xiao Yan glanced at Dai Mubai, whose face had darkened.

"Get out of here! I don't have as bad taste as you!" Dai Mubai roared at Ma Hongjun, his face darkening.

'Are you really that hard on yourself?'

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Xiao Yan's face twitched violently. Was this something a normal person would say?

Ma Hongjun snorted in dissatisfaction, but when he met the fierce glint in Dai Mubai's eyes, he opened his mouth but ultimately didn't dare to directly confront Dai Mubai, and turned to leave.

"Boss Dai, where's Fatty going?" Xiao Wu asked.

"It's nothing, just dealing with the aftereffects of my martial soul." Dai Mubai shrugged, trying to end the conversation.

"What kind of aftereffects?" Xiao Wu continued to press for an answer.

"Well... if you're interested, why don't you ask Oscar?"

Their relationship wasn't close enough for them to know each other's private matters. Although Dai Mubai felt that given Ma Hongjun's personality, it wouldn't be a problem if he just said it directly, Dai Mubai still had some self-respect and certainly wouldn't speak up for Ma Hongjun about such things.

Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing was also there!

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything!" Oscar hurriedly shook his head, his movements so exaggerated that his beard floated onto his face.

"What's with all this mystery... Little San, do you know about the aftereffects of Fatty's martial soul?" Xiao Wu pouted, then turned to look at Tang San.

"The aftereffects of a martial spirit..." Tang San thought for a moment.

"The teacher didn't mention this, and I'm not really sure either."

"Where is Rock Owl?"

"Ask me?" Xiao Yan tilted his head, looking incredulous.

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled. "Besides you, is there anyone else named Yan Xiao? And isn't your martial soul a flame? Fatty's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix. If Fatty has any aftereffects, you should be more aware of that, right?"

"There are plenty of martial souls with fire attributes. How could I possibly know the unique features of each one?"

Xiao Wu's words were so convincing that Xiao Yan almost felt he should know about Ma Hongjun's situation.

Although Xiao Yan could roughly guess what was going on from Ma Hongjun's expression and what he said, was it appropriate to say such things in this situation?

"Your taste is better than his?"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice.

Looking up, he realized that Zhu Zhuqing had walked up to Dai Mubai at some point and was looking at him with an icy expression.

“Zhu Qing, I…” Dai Mubai was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, he finally realized that his conversation with Ma Hongjun had actually revealed a lot.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly filled with disdain and contempt: "You're fifteen? You disgust me!" After saying that, she turned and left.

"Stop right there!" Dai Mubai roared.

Zhu Zhu ignored everything and instead of stopping, quickened her pace.

"You!" Dai Mubai suddenly raised his right hand, and a strong white light emanated from his palm.

He was never good-tempered; in fact, he was more irritable than anyone else.

However, he ultimately restrained himself. A flash of white light appeared on his palm and disappeared. He let out a roar like a tiger before following Zhu Zhuqing toward the academy.

The others were stunned by the spectacular performance.

Chapter 39 Are they really just two idiots?

After Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's farce, Xiao Wu, this rabbit spirit of unknown age, finally understood what the aftereffects of Ma Hongjun were.

However, now is not the time to lament Ma Hongjun's bizarre aftereffects—

"What happened to them?" Xiao Wu blinked and asked.

"I don't know. Judging from the situation when they enrolled, Dai Mubai shouldn't know Zhu Zhuqing. But he seems to treat her differently. Could it really be just because their martial souls have the potential to activate a fusion skill together?"

"Forget it, it's best if we don't meddle in other people's private affairs."
