Chapter 104: Soul Battle
"Hmph, are you mocking me? Your student looks to be under 15, how could he possibly have the cultivation of a Soul Venerable?"
Zhao Wuji smiled confidently and looked at Oscar beside him.
"Oscar, tell the elder your soul power level."
"Senior, I'm not much, I'm only at level 30."
Chaotianxiang was surprised but didn't plan to let the soul ring go. Meng Yiran, who was beside her, glared at the Shrek group. With a Soul Douluo grandfather by her side, she had never been afraid of anyone!
"Since that's the case, we must follow the rules of the soul master world. Let this young man fight with my granddaughter."
"Huh?"
Oscar was stunned, thinking, "I'm just a sausage seller, and now I have to fight a Soul Battle with a Battle Soul Master?"
Zhao Wuji also felt somewhat helpless.
"Sister Chaotian, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate."
"Hmph, I've already taken a step back. Do you think I'll let you bully me just because our old man isn't here?"
With that, she slammed her snake staff into the ground, sending a shockwave that forced the small creatures around them to retreat.
"Sister Chaotian, you're mistaken. My student is a Food System soul master, so—"
"Food System?"
When Chaotianxiang heard that Oscar was a Food System soul master, she was even more surprised. Auxiliary-type soul masters usually progress slower than Battle Soul Masters, but such a young Food System Soul Venerable was truly impressive.
Her mind immediately began to work faster. If she could bring him into her family, assisting Meng Yiran, it would certainly be a good choice. This soul ring could be considered an investment.
"Young man, do you belong to any sect?"
Oscar hesitated and shook his head.
"No, I don't."
"Then, would you be willing to join our Dragon-Snake family? I can arrange for Yiran to marry you."
"Grandmother!"
Meng Yiran looked at her grandmother with a flushed face, furious. How could she go so far as to offer her off just for soul hunting?
"Huh? This—"
If Ning Rongrong hadn't appeared, joining a family with a Soul Douluo would indeed seem like a good choice. But Oscar had already set his heart on the little princess, and had no intention of considering Meng Yiran at all.
The rest of the Shrek group could tell he wasn't interested, and before Zhao Wuji could step in, Tang San saw a perfect opportunity to act.
"I'll fight in Oscar's place, Senior."
Ning Rongrong, who was behind him, didn't understand his reasoning, but her opinion of him grew a little. He was quite loyal, wasn't he?
"Senior, I'm level 29, so I won't be taking advantage."
Before Chaotianxiang could respond, Meng Yiran, who had been holding back, stepped forward to accept Tang San's challenge.
"Hmph, if you come, you come. But if you lose, not only will you have to return the Phoenix Tail Rooster Crown Snake to me, but you'll also have to bow and apologize."
Ma Hongjun, who had been listening, got excited.
"Wow, you, a level 30 quasi-Soul Venerable, are bullying a great soul master and making such a demand? What if you lose?"
Meng Yiran looked at Fatty with a confident expression.
"How could I possibly lose?"
"You better be prepared to lose!"
"Hmph, whatever happens, happens."
Fatty's provocation clearly worked. Meng Yiran glared at him before turning to look at Tang San.
"Meng Yiran, level 30, two-ring Battle Soul Master, weapon: Snake Staff."
"Tang San, level 29, two-ring Battle Soul Master, weapon: Blue Silver Grass."
After hearing Tang San's self-introduction, Meng Yiran looked at him incredulously.
"Blue Silver Grass? You, with that useless weapon spirit, dare to challenge me?"
"There is no such thing as a useless weapon spirit, only useless soul masters."
As they spoke, the others cleared the area to give them space for the battle.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass glowed with both the first and second soul rings, and countless Blue Silver Grass vines rapidly grew, enveloping Meng Yiran and binding her like a rice dumpling.
Seeing this, Tang San smiled confidently. His Blue Silver Grass had barbed thorns with paralyzing poison, and this battle was already decided.
Meng Yiran, caught off guard, struggled to free herself and used her Shrinking Bone technique to escape the entanglement of the Blue Silver Grass. Tang San was slightly surprised.
"The poison didn't work?"
"Hmph, I use poison too. You think your poison can deal with me? First Soul Skill, Snake Blade."
Tang San's eyes glowed with purple intent as he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to easily avoid her attack.
Not hitting his mark, Meng Yiran intended to press her advantage. But suddenly, Fatty's lewd shout rang out from behind.
"Wow!"
It turned out that Meng Yiran's long stockings were torn by the barbed thorns of the Blue Silver Grass, exposing her fair skin, much to the delight of Dai Mubai and the others.
"Ugh."
"Hmph."
Fatty's shameless behavior caused Ning Rongrong and the others to click their tongues in disdain.
Originally, they thought that only Tang San wasn't a pervert, but now they saw he was just as bad as the rest.
Meng Yiran, following Fatty's gaze, looked down at her legs, and immediately became furious and embarrassed.
In her anger, she used her first soul skill recklessly.
Dozens of Snake Blades shot toward Tang San, who danced lightly between the giant trees, dodging every strike. He then jumped forward, reaching Meng Yiran and grabbing her snake staff.
"You're courting death! My snake staff is poisonous."
Tang San had already activated the Xuan Jade Hand before getting close, and wasn't afraid of her poison.
"Unfortunately for you, your poison won't work on me either."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran furrowed her brow deeply and began to compete with Tang San in soul power using her snake staff.
"My soul power is higher than yours by one level. Let's see what you can do."
However, she had clearly made a mistake. Tang San possessed the Xuantian Gong, and his soul power quality was unmatched by ordinary soul masters.
After a while, Meng Yiran, who had one level higher in soul power, couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the ground.
"Alright, we surrender."
Upon hearing Chaotianxiang's words, Meng Yiran felt a sense of grievance, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her grandmother.
"Grandmother..."
"Alright, child, we accept defeat."
Chaotianxiang helped Meng Yiran up and injected some soul power into her back, whispering, "We'll talk after your grandfather arrives."
Upon hearing her grandmother's words, Meng Yiran stopped arguing and decided to wait until her grandfather came, so she could make things right.
After a short recovery, the two of them prepared to leave.
At that moment, Fatty's annoying voice rang out again.
"Hey, you haven't fulfilled your bet yet!"
Hearing this, Tang San immediately blushed and waved his hand.
"That was just a joke, you two don't have to take it seriously."
But Meng Yiran was not the type to back out of a promise. Since she had agreed, she had no intention of going back on her word. She angrily walked up to Tang San and lightly kissed him on the cheek.
Tang San froze in place, wearing an expression that said, "What can I do about you?"
Ning Bei, who was hiding nearby, felt speechless. Didn't he just dodge the Snake Blades earlier? If he didn't want to, he could have avoided it, but as expected, it's me, the pure and noble Tang San, all of this was initiated by her, and had nothing to do with me.
With a parting glance, Meng Yiran didn't look back and walked away.
Chaotianxiang, seeing the situation, looked at Zhao Wuji with dissatisfaction.
"I'll remember this. Unyielding King, we'll meet again."
