Chapter 25: Killing to Establish Authority, The Shocking Master!
"Tch, a grassy hut thinks it can produce a golden phoenix? I bet it's just a fake."
The doorman disdainfully tossed away the certificate; its authenticity didn't matter.
What could they do to bully such a poor country bumpkin?
They could only bow and scrape before him, this was a perfect opportunity to vent their anger.
Besides, this old man didn't even know the rules; who wouldn't give him a bribe when they came in?
"You—"
Old Jack was furious. What could he do when he encountered an unreasonable person? He was about to step forward to reason with him when Tang San held him back tightly.
At this moment, his face was expressionless, but his heart was already boiling with killing intent.
He didn't care about the Tang Sect rules; he needed to vent the humiliation of his defeat.
"Heh, innate full soul power, would such a genius come here?"
"Two at once, does the Spirit Hall even want these?"
"Trying to fool children?"
The doorman continued to court death, looking at the old man and the young man with a mocking expression.
"You're asking for death!"
Tang San finally couldn't hold back any longer. Just as he was about to activate his hidden sword, five kunai flew towards him.
With lightning speed, no ordinary person could dodge it.
Thud!
Blood splattered instantly, and the doorman was unsurprisingly pinned to the wall.
The onlookers looked on in astonishment, discovering that the doorman's limbs were nailed down, and even his head had been pierced.
He was beyond dead.
"Ah, murder!"
"Quick, call the guards!"
The crowd instantly descended into chaos, the crimson blood assaulting everyone's senses.
"Shut up! Provoking a Soul Master for no reason, destroying the Spirit Hall's credentials!"
"At the City Lord's Mansion, they'll all die."
Tang Chen angrily pushed open the door and got out of the carriage, his two Soul Rings pulsating.
He had originally wanted to see Tang San show off, but this kid was quite patient.
He really didn't know where the doorman got the courage to even damage the Spirit Hall's credentials.
"A Soul Master?"
"A Great Soul Master?"
The crowd calmed down, staring at Tang Chen in disbelief.
Even Tang Hao behind him had a burning light in his eyes.
This was his son, a Great Soul Master at only seven years old.
At his age, he was still playing in the mud.
"This is a blessing, a blessing from Ah Yin."
Tears welled up in Tang Hao's eyes. He had thought Tang San's twin martial souls were amazing.
But now he realized he was wrong.
This child, whom he hadn't even asked about martial souls, was the true peerless genius.
"Dad, what are you muttering about?"
"Go back and give the carriage to Old Jack. You've been taking his help for so many years for nothing."
"Aren't you ashamed? I am!"
Tang Chen acted as if nothing had happened, not afraid of trouble coming his way.
Let alone that he was a Great Soul Master, the fact that the doorman damaged the Spirit Hall's proof was enough to kill him several times over. Was the saying "the strong are respected" just a joke?
"Okay, no problem!"
Tang Hao quickly agreed, no longer caring about the broken carriage.
Besides talent, a Soul Master's temperament is also a very important factor.
A seven-year-old who can kill without batting an eye is destined for ruthless decisiveness. Only such a person can become a strongman.
"Alright then, take Jack back. Don't worry about this little thing."
Tang Chen waved his hand, signaling him to quickly get rid of the crippled old Jack.
"Okay, be careful next time!"
Tang Hao immediately helped pull the old Jack onto the carriage.
He wasn't worried about his safety at all; with him, a Title Douluo, protecting him, who could touch him?
Tang Chen didn't have the Clear Sky Hammer; the Spirit Hall would only try to recruit such a genius.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Just as Tang Hao started the carriage to leave, a man in a coarse cloth shirt approached.
The pungent stench of blood made people frown, especially upon seeing the brutally murdered doorman, whose expression changed slightly.
"Master, you've arrived."
The other doormen, as if they had found a backer, trembled as they recounted what had happened.
"The crime doesn't warrant death, and the methods are far too cruel!"
The master followed the doorman's gaze to Tang Chen's direction.
Then he was dumbfounded— two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, on a little brat?
He even rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had painstakingly researched for so many years to develop the ten core competitive advantages of martial souls.
And this little boy had slapped him in the face?
After years of research, he had determined that the absorption age for the second spirit ring was 764 years.
This child's spirit ring was extremely dark, possibly four or five thousand years old.
It was truly terrifying.
"Old man, what are you looking at? Want to stand up for that doorman?"
Tang Chen's tone was incredibly irritating; he knew this person was the master.
Personally, he had no prejudice; whether he was a scumbag or not was hard to say.
Not wanting to sleep with his sister was understandable, but making someone wait twenty years was unacceptable.
It's best to speak frankly; choosing to run away is truly cowardly.
I've seen comments online before, and I feel that Liu Erlong isn't the real reason readers criticize Master.
It's because Bibi Dong in the anime is prettier, and they feel that someone like Master isn't good enough for her.
In this era, looks are everything; who doesn't want an eye-catching beauty?
It's not surprising that Master is being criticized.
Tang Chen won't comment; if anyone dares to provoke him, don't blame him for being ruthless.
But he has no problem making friends; he'll treat him as an ordinary scholar.
"Old man? Me?"
Master was a little embarrassed and looked himself up and down.
To be honest, he didn't care about appearance, but being called that by this brat today felt strange.
And he was only focused on looking at the spirit rings, only then realizing that the child's appearance was simply heaven-defying!
If it were a girl, it would be fine, but for a boy to look like that, isn't it excessive?
"Ahem, I didn't mean to stand up for you. Destroying the Spirit Hall's order is indeed courting death!"
Master instantly switched sides. Offending a genius for this arrogant doorman—was he out of his mind?
Soon, a large group of city guards arrived; these people didn't have that much time for such things.
Tang Chen was instantly surrounded,but judging from the captain's expression, he was also frightened.
"A child? Why did you kill someone?"
"Investigate yourself, otherwise what are you for?"
Tang Chen rolled his eyes. Aren't you tired of explaining over and over again?
"Bring them here!"
The difference in treatment between Soul Masters and ordinary people was clearly evident here.
No city guards dared to touch Tang Chen, but they pulled over all the doormen who were watching the show.
Then, many onlookers were also called aside for questioning.
"What are you doing?"
Like a market, the incident attracted attention from many sides.
Even Su Yuntao brought his men over, but he was clearly there for Tang Chen. When he saw the pulsating Soul Rings on Tang Chen's body, his heart almost stopped.
This child had awakened three months ago, possessing innate full Soul Power.
In such a short time, he had crossed ten levels and obtained two Soul Rings.
The key was that one of them was purple, which was truly unbelievable.
Moreover, as a fellow Great Soul Master, terrifying pressure constantly assailed him, and he felt that if he made a move, he would be instantly killed.
This was the innate intuition given to him by his Animal-type Martial Soul.
For the first time, Su Yuntao realized how terrifying a genius could be.
"Captain Mike, what's there to investigate?"
"That person damaged the Spirit Hall's token, and it was only thanks to this kid's intervention."
"Otherwise, what would become of our branch's reputation?"
Su Yuntao went directly to the captain, determined to resolve the matter forcefully.
Even if it was really this doorman who caused the trouble, even if Tang Chen killed someone without cause, he would still take responsibility.
The short knife token in his pocket now carried immense weight.
The favor of a peerless genius might be more precious than life itself.
