Jiang Chen sneered. The fire line sprayed from Ma Hongjun's mouth could never keep up with his movement speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived right in front of Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun's second skill, Bathing in Fire Phoenix, was an all-around defensive skill that also carried an attack, but Jiang Chen's soul power was more than ten levels higher than his. By releasing his soul power outward, he could completely resist those flames.
"Fatty, be careful." Dai Mubai couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
If it were him approaching Ma Hongjun like this, he could easily take Ma Hongjun down as well, let alone this boy whose strength surpassed even his own.
Startled by the shout, Ma Hongjun panicked. Fire lines still spraying from his mouth, he whipped his head around sharply, but he only caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen's afterimage.
Jiang Chen was too fast; he was right behind him.
No matter how Ma Hongjun turned, he could never see Jiang Chen. A sudden fear rose in his heart.
All of a sudden, he felt his arm grabbed. Looking down, he saw a long, powerful hand gripping his claw.
Immediately after, a tremendous force surged through. His arm twisted several times unnaturally with continuous cracking sounds, crack, crack, crack.
A pig-slaughtering-like shriek erupted from Ma Hongjun. The intense pain nearly made him faint. Amid those cracking noises, the bones in his arm had shattered into who-knows-how-many pieces.
Next, his remaining arm was twisted as well. Crack, crack, the sounds rang out again, leaving it mangled beyond recognition under Jiang Chen's grip.
Then Jiang Chen kicked hard at his butt. Ma Hongjun shot out like a ball, flying straight toward Dai Mubai and Oscar.
The piercing, miserable scream tore through the night sky, startling awake who knows how many people.
From a windowsill on the third floor of the hotel, a burly figure nearly leaped down, but in the end, he held himself back.
"This little devil... probably only Mubai can handle him."
...
In the midst of excruciating pain, Ma Hongjun had already fainted. His martial soul automatically withdrew. Dai Mubai and Oscar hurriedly caught him.
Both his arms hung limply, with some bone fragments even protruding out.
"I've got a big sausage!" Oscar quickly chanted his incantation, producing a Recovery Sausage, but Ma Hongjun was unconscious and couldn't eat it.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun hard several times across the face, finally waking him.
"Aaah!" An inhuman scream rang out. Ma Hongjun's forehead veins bulged, his whole body convulsing nonstop.
With his arm bones completely shattered, how could he possibly endure such agony?
Oscar hurriedly stuffed his big sausage into Ma Hongjun's mouth. Moments later, the screams finally stopped.
His injuries were extremely severe. Though Oscar's sausage could heal wounds, there was a limit; it couldn't fully restore the shattered bones. Still, the pain had eased considerably.
Ma Hongjun's eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Dai Mubai and roared madly, "Boss Dai, cripple him for me! I want him to suffer the same pain as me!"
Dai Mubai set Ma Hongjun down. His expression dark and gloomy, he stood up. With his brother injured, how could he stand by and do nothing?
He stepped forward a few paces, fixing his gaze on Jiang Chen. "You're very strong, but you've hurt my brother. I'll go all out."
"White Tiger, possess!"
Intense pale white light erupted from his body. His bones crackled and popped as his frame expanded violently, muscles swelling. His clothes were stretched to the verge of tearing, and every muscle stood out sharply beneath the fabric. Even the air around him turned violent.
His golden hair turned black and white striped. A "king" character appeared on his forehead. The biggest change was in his hands, which had doubled in size, covered in white fur. Ten fingers flicked, razor-sharp claws extending and retracting, each one like a dagger, eight inches long, gleaming coldly. He looked like a killing machine incarnate.
Beneath his feet, three soul rings rose, two yellow, one purple. Surging soul power exploded outward like raging waves pressing in all directions.
"Thousand-year soul ring!" Shocked exclamations rose from the crowd. This young man was so young, yet already a Soul Elder-level powerhouse.
"Star Luo imperial family, White Tiger martial soul. I never expected to see it in the Heaven Dou Empire," Bibi Dong murmured.
"Teacher, will Xiao Chen be in danger?" Hu Liena asked.
Bibi Dong smiled. "Back at the academy, he fought a Soul Elder without even using his martial soul. Do you still need to worry about him?"
Even though Bibi Dong said this, the worry in Hu Liena's eyes did not diminish. After all, she had heard of the White Tiger martial soul's fame. What if, what if something happened to Jiang Chen...
The powerful aura erupted fully. Dai Mubai stared at Jiang Chen with burning battle intent.
"You're a strong opponent. Release your martial soul."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Against you, I don't need my martial soul."
Being looked down on like this, the already hot-tempered Dai Mubai could no longer hold back. His voice turned icy.
"Dai Mubai, White Tiger martial soul, level 32 Battle Soul Elder. Please instruct me."
The moment the words fell, he moved. His explosive, powerful body arrived in front of Jiang Chen in an instant.
The dagger-like claws on his ten fingers shot out, slashing toward Jiang Chen's body.
Jiang Chen's eyes instantly turned pitch-black as ink. Terrifying power converged into his fist as he met Dai Mubai's claw head-on with a punch.
Seeing the change in Jiang Chen, Dai Mubai's heart tightened. He poured even more force into his massive claw.
A huge metallic clang rang out. Dai Mubai was once again sent flying backward.
What shocked him even more was that his sharp claws, when they struck Jiang Chen's fist, felt as if they had hit solid metal or stone; sparks flew, yet Jiang Chen's fist only showed a few white marks, without the slightest injury.
Instead, his own claws ached from the impact, nearly on the verge of breaking.
What kind of monster was this?
"Not bad strength. Pretty strong," Jiang Chen said with a laugh.
Dai Mubai's arm trembled slightly. He finally realized just how powerful Jiang Chen was. This boy, who looked even younger than him, likely already had a cultivation surpassing his own.
"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!" His second soul ring lit up rapidly. Intense white light gathered in his mouth. With a tiger roar, a milky-white light sphere shot from his jaws toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's figure vanished like a ghost. The light sphere struck the ground behind him, boom!, blasting a crater two meters wide.
"Not bad power, but unfortunately, just like that fatty's skill—too slow."
Jiang Chen's voice came from all directions, making Dai Mubai's expression turn as heavy as iron.
This boy's speed was terrifyingly fast.
He didn't dare be careless. His third soul ring lit up directly.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai's already massive body swelled again. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, his clothes bursting apart. Black horizontal stripes appeared on his skin.
His tiger paws grew even larger, the blades extending now bright silver. His entire body was enveloped in intense golden light, blood-red eyes radiating bloodlust. The domineering aura of the king of beasts poured out.
"Lightning Fist!"
A fist crackling with electricity seemed to emerge from nowhere. Jiang Chen's body appeared along with the punch. Amid the explosive crackle of lightning, the fist smashed toward the swollen muscles of Dai Mubai's chest.
