Chapter 103

After bidding farewell to Mu Ye, Huo Yuhao walked out of the cultivation room, and while walking in the corridor, he ran into Xie Xie coming towards him and greeted him.

"Xie Xie."

"Yuhao."

Xie Xie's eyes lit up, and he walked over, "When did you come back?"

"Mhm, just a few days ago, came back together with Sister Na."

Huo Yuhao asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why did you come to the Spirit Pagoda at this time?"

Previously, when he and Gu Yue Na went to Tian Dou City, Xie Xie and the others had already completed their own final assessments; right now it is the holiday period in Donghai City, so logically they should be resting at home.

Xie Xie scratched his head and grinned slyly, "Previously Teacher Luo had me add a senior's contact number; he taught me some knowledge about Assault-types. I plan to use the holiday to train well and give everyone a surprise. Today the training has already ended, and I'm just preparing to go back."

"What knowledge?"

Xie Xie's movement paused; thinking that the person before him was Elder Huo, he spoke: "The core of it is, for Assault-types, attack comes first, speed comes after; an Assault-type without attack power has no future. When my speed reaches a certain degree, and when my power can be condensed into a single point, then my attack power and strength can be raised to a brand-new level... rather than blindly pursuing speed and being a Scout."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow after hearing Xie Xie's words.

The assassin type pursuing high burst... is indeed a viable path in the current era.

Look at the generations of Shrek Seven Monsters and those Limit Douluo and one can discover that in this world, the status of Assault-types is actually somewhat awkward; in the end they either convert to Strong Attack, fade into obscurity, or become fusion material... mhm, no intention of naming Miss Zhu Zhuqing.

After all, the theme is competition; the venue is only so big, how can Assault-types play?

One must say, the senior who taught Xie Xie sees very thoroughly, and also didn't intend to let Xie Xie give up his future for the sake of competition; there's a bit of the Saint Demon Continent's assassin flavor to it.

Eighty percent chance he's an Assault-type powerhouse.

Huo Yuhao laughed, "Your luck's not bad, to be taken a fancy to by a senior."

"Hehe, I think so too." Xie Xie laughed, then teased, "Speaking of which, you and Gu Yue Na are progressing well, just went on a trip together and you're already calling her Sister Na?"

Huo Yuhao's smile didn't change; he looked towards the figure walking up behind Xie Xie.

"Stop teasing, otherwise if you get beaten, I might also fly into a rage out of humiliation and make you lose face."

Xie Xie vaguely guessed something; his figure suddenly tensed, and he hurriedly laughed, "Big Brother, we'll meet again tomorrow, I'm leaving first."

Finished speaking, he didn't linger, steeled himself without looking back, and hurriedly left.

"What's with him?" Gu Yue Na walked over from the front, looking doubtfully at the direction Xie Xie left, "Why did he suddenly run off?"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "Perhaps he perceived some kind of crisis. Alright, let's not talk about this. Tomorrow I might have to leave for a period of time with Teacher Mu Ye."

Gu Yue Na blinked, "Teacher Leng also plans to use this holiday to accompany me; looks like we'll have to wait until school starts to meet."

Huo Yuhao's movement paused, "Is there any place you want to go? I'll accompany you today."

"Clearly I already decided long ago not to meddle in those two's business, why do I always have to go courting death?"

Walking out of the Spirit Pagoda, Xie Xie muttered to himself, "I'm not..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly frowned, keenly perceiving fluctuations of soul power erupting not far away.

This place isn't far from the Enforcement Team's monitoring range; who is making a move here?

A fierce glint flashed in Xie Xie's eyes, and he rapidly rushed to the scene.

He is a member of the Spirit Pagoda; if someone causes trouble, he naturally has to handle it.

At a street corner, a boy and a girl around fourteen years old had a middle-aged man cornered against a wall.

That middle-aged man had a medium build, ordinary appearance, a head of short hair, eyes not large, yet looked very amiable, with a bit of a friendly neighbor uncle vibe.

He seemed to have been startled by the two suddenly blocking him, but seeing they were just two kids, he relaxed: "I'm not Spirit Pagoda work staff; I just came to buy a soul spirit, want to go to the Spirit Pagoda for soul spirit left turn."

Hearing this, Yu Longheng said impatiently, "Don't misunderstand; we just want to spar with you."

The words just fell, and a standard soul ring configuration of two yellow and one purple emerged from beneath him and Ning Yue; not giving the man a chance to speak, the first soul ring directly lit up.

Thunder Dragon Claw!

A blue dragon claw condensed from lightning, roughly one chi in diameter, shot out electrically, striking towards the opponent.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly; he was just about to make a move when he suddenly perceived something, stopping his urge to act.

Yu Longheng saw the middle-aged man showed no signs of using soul power; his brows furrowed slightly, and he reduced the force of his strike, leaving only a single bolt of lightning attacking the middle-aged man.

He was completing an assessment, and held no malice.

Whoosh!

A golden blade light flashed past; the lightning was precisely cleaved apart.

Xie Xie held up the Light Dragon Blade, two soul rings circling around his body, blocking in front of the man: "What are you doing here? Injuring people in broad daylight? Treating Federal Law as blank paper?!"

"Longheng?" Ning Yue looked at the child before her, even smaller than herself, didn't explain, just frowned and looked at Yu Longheng.

Yu Longheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Quick battle, quick decision, to avoid attracting other accidents!"

Their assessment hadn't gone smoothly; in Tianhun City, because of that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit rampage, it attracted the city-guarding Mecha Battalion, nearly got them detained, and afterwards they were pursued, delaying a lot of time.

So now they must be fast, quickly tour the major cities of the Tianhai Alliance, quickly complete the assessment.

On the other side, Xie Xie looked carefully and discovered the two before him were both high-ranking Soul Elders with not-weak auras; feeling things were very bad, but perceiving the uncle behind him's soul power, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This uncle is a Soul Ancestor; that's good.

"Uncle, self-defense, doesn't violate Federal Law, go for it."

"Good." The middle-aged man nodded solemnly, "We'll go up together."

"... You're counting on me, a Soul Elder?"

Although somewhat speechless, Xie Xie still didn't abandon him.

That girl on the other side is a support-type; he could go capture her too.

But the next moment.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunder Ten Thousand Jun!"

Countless snake-like lightning bolts magnified at the same time, transforming into lightning arrows violently flashing in the air, densely forming a thunder net enveloping the two; Xie Xie dodged relying on speed, originally thinking that Soul Ancestor uncle could also dodge, but he looked back and nearly coughed up blood in anger.

One saw that middle-aged Soul Ancestor directly enveloped by the electric net, electrocuted until his whole body was charred black, and he simply lay down.

"Fuck, you're fucking playing me!"

Xie Xie was full of black lines, deeply doubting whether he had encountered the legendary routine.

Could this uncle be in cahoots with the two people before him?

Deliberately luring someone in to act bravely for a just cause, then turning around and accusing the victim?

One can't be that insidious, right?

Xie Xie took a deep breath, forced to entangle with Yu Longheng for several seconds, electrocuted until his whole body went numb, and finally found an opportunity by a hair's breadth, borrowing force to retreat.

The only hope has fallen, could it be that he has to face two high-ranking Soul Elders alone?

He wasn't that reckless.

Xie Xie simply took out the Soul Guidance Light Screen Luo Yanglu equipped for him, about to dial the signal for help.

Within a one-kilometer radius of the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Pagoda arranges its own personnel to patrol and enforce the law; this is a privilege the Federation granted the Spirit Pagoda, but beyond one kilometer the Spirit Pagoda generally doesn't interfere — that is the duty and mission of the Federation Mecha Battalion.

However, if Spirit Pagoda personnel are attacked, it's another matter.

Yu Longheng knocked down a Soul Ancestor with one strike, likewise somewhat surprised, ultimately only regarding it as the Heavenly Sea Alliance Soul Masters being too weak; after Xie Xie retreated, he originally intended to leave, after all a Soul Elder was not the opponent he needed.

But Yu Longheng's gaze shifted, seeing the Soul Guidance Light Screen in Xie Xie's hand, his pupils contracted.

He is a Spirit Pagoda genius? He wants to call the Enforcement Team?

Can't let him call the Enforcement Team over!

Yu Longheng's face darkened, "Ning Yue!"

Ning Yue: "First, speed!"

The bottom tier of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone, a beam of light fell on Yu Longheng, making his already extraordinary speed rise further; Xie Xie only felt a blur before his eyes, a figure appeared before him, a fist wreathed in lightning filled his vision.

Rumble!

A deafening explosion rang out in the next moment.
