author:"hey, what's up, my gahba!"
Ali :"sigh, hey. nothing. and what's with you?"
author :"oh, nothing. I'm just trying to distract myself from the fucked up unlucky week I had. I mean c'mon, I nearly crashed three times! THREE!! and on the same fucking day! while I was riding my bicycle to a store, two cars nearly hit me in the middle of the street, they were on the wrong by the way, and a kid just decided to spawn from the back of a car and didn't fucking move even though he saw me coming at the little gahba!
but anyway, fuck all of that! so here's a joke, why does batman only cover half of his face but doesn't cover his mouth?"
Ali :"wow, man. tough week, huh? well, hope your luck gets better. and no, I don't know. why does he do that?"
author :"*wheezing* So tHat cOPs KnOw thAt hE's WhIte HAHAHA!!"
Ali :"*mouth and eyes wide with shock while speechless*"

Tang San :"master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been reckless. I was attacked by Xiao Wu's second soul skill, charm, and was in a passive situation.
before I knew what her third soul skill was, I released the spider web hastily, which caused myself to be in a more passive situation."
Yu Xiaogang nodded :"it's good that you realize your mistake. your mistake is the most serious one. you need full power even if you're fighting a weak enemy."
Eve who was just beside Xiao Wu chuckled quietly :"yeah, a lion hunts the rabbit with all its strength after all."
Xiao Wu glared at him with a pout as she poked his side, making him cover it as he giggled :"you...! I will ignore you if you say that again! hmph!"
Eve just giggled at her cute antics as Altair who was just beside Zhu Zhuqing snickered at Eve's words.
they were quiet, so Yu Xiaogang didn't care about them as he continued scolding :"you even made an unforgivable mistake at the beginning.
remember, soul masters of controlling branch have to control themselves, other than controlling your enemies."
Tang San nodded with a serious face :"yes, master."
Yu Xiaogang then moved on to Xiao Wu who had calmed down but was still pouty about Eve's comment :"your third soul skill should be teleport, right?"
everyone but the two Alis gasped, but Yu Xiaogang continued :"but it's limited by distance. if I guess it right, that should be the power of lightning rabbit.
so your third soul ring is a thousand year old lightning rabbit. teleport is one of the rarest soul skills.
you've surprised me well. the combination of teleport and Arched body will increase your killing effect greatly.
but why did you assume you would win when you were chocking Xiao San's neck? if you could be more careful, when you saw Xiao San use constraint of spider web, you moved away from his attack before attacking again, you would have won, instead of being controlled again.
are you the so-called genius monsters? your performance today has disappointed me. everyone made unforgivable mistakes.
all of you must be punished. here is the punishment. there are some rocks at the entrance. carry them, run to and back from suo tuo city.
no soul power is allowed. you must do it 10 times by noon. Xiao San, your mistake is the worst. do it 12 times."
Tang San :"got it, master."
Yu Xiaogang :"remember, you're a team. if one person doesn't complete it, everyone isn't allowed to eat."
the teenagers were shocked of the punishment, but they still had to obey. but Yu Xiaogang said something that both shocked and surprised them all.
Yu Xiaogang gave a small smile as he said :"but there is a way for you to avoid this punishment. and that is: to defeat Ali. and if you are able to, he will be the only one to get punished."
everyone was surprised, even Eve and Al. Ma Hongjun said with confusion while scratching the back of his neck :"master, you mean all of us as a team or one by one?"
Yu Xiaogang :"you obviously can't defeat him in a one of one, so that leaves just the team battle. now, which one do you choose?
fighting Ali, or just going straight to the punishment? and to make it easier for you, Ali isn't allowed to use soul skills."
the teenagers looked at each other and then grinned as Ma Hongjun said excitedly :"hahaha, of course it fighting with Ali!"
Dai Mubai also added with a smile :"yeah, that's right. with all of us combined, and Ali not using his soul rings, there is a high chance that we will win."
Tang San also spoke out his analysis :"Dai Mubai is right. Xiao Ali using with his soul skill would be near impossible for us to beat.
but without them, and with all of in a team, our chances are high. specially since we have auxiliary masters such as Oscar's sausages and Ning Rongrong's Qibao Amber Pagoda."
Eve and Altair listened with twitching eyebrows and lips from the annoyance as they talked. Altair finally said with an annoyed smile while trying not to growl :"oh really now? so that's your choice?"
the boys heheed as Dai Mubai told Yu Xiaogang :"master, we choose to fight Ali."
Yu Xiaogang nodded with a serious face :"alright then. you have 15 to 30 minutes to form a tactic and formation for your fight. now begin strategizing."
they all moved to opposite sides of the field as the 7 started to strategize while Ivan and Altair just exchange a few sentences.
Altair :"since we shouldn't use soul skills, should we do "that" to let them know that we aren't just about soul skills and martial souls?"
Eve smiled, but it wasn't just a normal, sweet smile that he was famous for. no, it was the smile of a predator as he answered :"yeah, let's to "that"."
Altair had the same smile and face as him for a second before their faces returned to normal as they just sat down on the shadow chair created by Altair in silence.
they didn't need to talk about strategies or talk about tactics. the reason for that was, 1: even though Ali wasn't an intelligent genius in his past life, he was a fighting genius!
2: because of how many times he has fought in the martial soul academy, they have a great sense of battle. which is amplified because of his talent in fighting.
and 3: when the two become one, their separate memories become one as well. meaning that the different strategies that they created would become one as well and then Ali would create the best strategy for the fight.
as the time passed while the two waited, the other group finally finished talking in a voice loud enough for them to not hear and Tang San told Yu Xiaogang :"master, we are ready."
Yu Xiaogang nodded :"alright then, get in position. and you two fuse as well."
the 7 teenagers got in the formation that they talked about and waited for the other two to finish fusing.
Altair and Ivan smiled as the blue light enveloped Ivan and red light enveloped Altair. the two lights then immediately fused and with a flash of black and with some purple light, Ali appeared in their field of view!
Yu Xiaogang was shocked and surprised at how perfect his looks were, but after a few seconds and coughing with embarrassment, he said :"alright, get in position."
Ma Hongjun said cheekily with a grin :"sorry, Ali. but no way we're gonna lose. but don't worry, we will be gentle so that you can carry the stones easier."
the others but Zhu Zhuqing smiled as well, but still kept their seriousness. they released their martial souls and waited, but they were surprised when Ali started laughing loudly :"haha... hahaha... hahahaha!
you honestly think that you can defeat me just because I'm not using my soul skill! that's really cute but foolish at the same time!
well, guys, I will show you just how wrong you are. and guess what, I don't think I'm gonna be gentle about it."
suddenly, a black mark appeared on the right side of Ali's forehead and expanded to the right side of his face and then to his shoulder!
his hair turned blond as his eyes became nothing but black! a cruel smile bloomed on his face in everyone's shocked eyes as he said with a cruel tone :"I will turn that puny little hope of yours into dispair."
Tang San who had developed the sense to notice danger since he was an assassin of a kind in his past life, clearly felt how all of his senses screamed at him that Ali was very deadly right now!
so he became fully focused and serious :"Ning Rongrong, Oscar, do as we discussed. Mubai, Xiao Wu, get ready to attack."
Ali gave them the chance for Oscar to create a few sausages and for Ning Rongrong to give them a boost since it won't be of use when he start attacking.
when they finished their actions, they got serious as Ali took a step forward. but just when he was about to take his next step, he completely disappeared!
in everyone's shocked eyes, even the teacher's, he appeared beside Dai Mubai! Dai Mubai quickly activated his first soul skill as a barrier formed around him.
Ali didn't just started ahead with emotionless eyes and smile and without even looking at him, he punched Dai Mubai right in the guts!
the barrier was immediately shattered by the punch and Dai Mubai fell to his knees after being lifted off the ground a little, gasping for air as he held his stomach!
everyone was shocked by the events that took place in a single second as Ali said while looking at Tang San who was in the middle of the formation :"didn't I tell you? you have no hope when you are against me. only dispair."
he then bitch slapped Dai Mubai and sent him flying away while his other hand just dangled at his side as if he was just taking care of a bug!
they finally reacted as they moved away while Xiao Wu tried to kick him! but he just blocked it nonchalantly while still looking Tang San dead in the eye with the emotionless face and smile.
Xiao Wu then jumped and kicked him again, but was blocked by the same arm. she then acrobaticly moved and taking advantage of Ali's carelessness, performed her arched body soul skill :"not after this!"
but even though the move was performed perfectly and even hit Ali square in the chest, he didn't move a single inch!
he stood in place like an unmovable sun as she stared at him in shock! he then twisted his hand and grabbed the hand that was holding his for leverage and threw her aside as if she was nothing!
but she was way too persistent to be taken down just with that, so she used her third soul skill, teleport, and moved to his side again and attacked him along with Zhu Zhuqing who also made a move!
they both attacked him rapidly with kicks, fists and slashes, but Ali just blocked all of their attacks with just an arm for each of them without even taking his eyes off of Tang San who was feeling really endangered!
now, even though Ali is an equalist who believes that everyone, be it man, woman, child or elderly are equal and would punch and drop kick them square in the face without remorse, he wasn't going to do that to the girl who was his future love interest and the other who is his friend, sister in law, and his night time whore.
so when they attacked again, Zhu Zhuqing with slashes by her nails from the right and Xiao Wu with kicks from the left, he grabbed her wrist and then her other wrist with one hand as he grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle by the other hand!
he kicked Xiao Wu's other leg which was holding her up, making her lose balance and fall as he pushed her a little to have some impact, he then did the same with Zhu Zhuqing and then tied them to the ground using his darkness manipulation. immobilizing them.
but even though he did all of this, he never stopped looking at Tang San dead in the eyes! he then said with a cruel smile :"know this: there is no hope when you're against me, only dispair."
