Chương 62: Chapter 62: Is This Venomous?
Evil-Eyed White Tiger
Staring at those iconic dual pupils, Tang San's eyes flashed with a strange sense of déjà vu rising in his heart.
The world is really small.
Compared to Dai Mubai, however, the young man in front of him gave Tang San a much darker feeling. There was a conspicuous scar on the boy's right hand, running from the palm to the back of the hand, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon.
If Huo Yuhao were here, he would have recognized the boy at a glance.
Wasn't this Dai Huabin, the one he crippled at the Duke's mansion a few years ago?
While Tang San was quietly observing the other party, Dai Huabin didn't even spare him a glance. He walked straight to the counter and repeated himself to the attendant.
"I'll take this room."
"Uh, well..." The attendant instinctively glanced at Tang San with a hesitant expression.
He really didn't want to get involved in this matter.
While his boss definitely had some backing to open such a large hotel in Shrek City, that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of trouble!
These two young men were clearly talented individuals applying to Shrek Academy, and he was just an ordinary person. If he offended either one, his boss might not be able to protect him in time, though perhaps he could seek revenge afterward.
But with only a few silver soul coins a month, who would be dumb enough to risk their life?
"I'm sorry."
At this moment, Tang San, who had been ignored, spoke with a cold expression, reminding, "I was here first."
Hearing this, Dai Huabin glanced at Tang San from head to toe, his eyes full of disdain.
"So what? You think you have the qualifications to talk to me about 'first come, first served'?"
As soon as he said this, the two middle-aged men standing behind him frowned slightly. One of them lowered his voice and said:
"Young master, this is Shrek City. We can't be too reckless. If a conflict breaks out and the enforcement team is alerted, we won't have a good explanation for the madam."
Hearing this, Dai Huabin's face showed a trace of impatience. But before he could speak, Tang San's gloomy voice interrupted.
"So what?"
Being treated with such contempt by a descendant of his former brother's lineage, Tang San's eyes turned cold.
After all, even your ancestors wouldn't dare speak to me like this!
"Is it that I don't have the qualifications, or..."
Tang San smirked coldly and retorted, "Were you just never taught proper manners by your parents?"
The moment he said this, Dai Huabin's eyes turned red, and he unconsciously recalled the nightmare-like experience he endured when he was six years old.
Even now, he occasionally dreamt of those cold, indifferent blue eyes when he slept.
"The first lesson... your mother taught you."
Those cold words echoed in his ears again, making Dai Huabin's expression twisted with rage. Forgetting everything else, he roared.
"You're dead!"
With a loud roar, white fur began growing wildly from Dai Huabin's arms. Two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared consecutively. In an instant, his martial spirit had possessed him.
But that wasn't all. His third purple soul ring suddenly lit up.
His third soul skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
The youth's already massive palm swelled even further, and his sharp tiger claws gleamed like metal, slashing mercilessly toward Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San's pupils shrank. He hadn't expected the other party to go berserk over just a few words, immediately attacking with the intent to kill.
Where did this lunatic come from!?
Fortunately, his rich combat experience kept him from panicking. As he activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his palms glowed with a milky white sheen. In his haste, he didn't even have time to release his martial spirit, relying solely on his Jade Hands to block the tiger claws.
Boom!
A tremendous force surged through his arms. Tang San felt a numbing sensation, and his body was forced backward uncontrollably. Having prioritized cultivating his Blue Silver Grass, he was already at a disadvantage in strength compared to Dai Huabin, who possessed the White Tiger martial spirit. Now, with the sudden attack, he didn't even have a chance to release his martial spirit and was immediately placed on the defensive.
I have to create some distance!
Gritting his teeth, Tang San planned to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, hoping that with a moment to circulate his Mysterious Heaven Skill and restore feeling to his arms, he could win with hidden weapons.
However, Dai Huabin didn't give him the chance. Seeing his first attack blocked, his eyes gleamed with vicious intent. His second yellow soul ring lit up.
His second soul skill—White Tiger Light Wave.
A white energy ball shot from Dai Huabin's mouth, flying straight toward Tang San.
Facing Dai Huabin's relentless attack, Tang San snorted coldly and finally released his martial spirit.
As the three soul rings beneath his feet—identical to Dai Huabin's—rose from the ground, the young man and the two middle-aged men beside him were stunned.
This plain-dressed boy was also a three-ring Soul Elder?
In the next second, dozens of Blue Silver Grass vines shot from Tang San's hands, colliding with the white energy ball.
With another loud explosion, the shattered vines and the powerful shockwave tore through the hotel lobby, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
But it wasn't over yet. As the explosion cleared, a miserable scream rang out. The two middle-aged men didn't even have time to react before they saw Dai Huabin collapse to the ground, his face darkened, with two bone-piercing needles lodged in his shoulder.
"Poison!?"
One of the middle-aged men's faces changed. He angrily looked at Tang San and shouted, "What a venomous trick!"
Hearing this, Tang San sneered coldly. "You think that's venomous?"
With two lifetimes of experience in using hidden weapons, Tang San's skill in such techniques had long reached mastery. These were but minor tricks, barely one-tenth of his true ability.
Had he not been worried about drawing too much attention, those two needles would have been aimed much lower.
"I suggest you take him for treatment quickly. If you wait too long, you won't want to see what happens next."
Judging by the aura of these two men, they were both around the level of Soul Kings. At present, Tang San didn't have the confidence to defeat them in a short time.
If they continued to fight and attracted the city's enforcement team, things would become troublesome, even if he was in the right. That's why he chose to use this method to drive them away.
If they were in a more isolated area, he would have killed them without hesitation.
The moment Dai Huabin showed him such contempt, Tang San had already decided his fate.
Besides, if he had the Eight Spider Lances, it wouldn't be so troublesome to deal with two Soul Kings.
Feeling slightly irritated, Tang San thought back to the powerful external spirit bone he once had in his previous life. Not only had it greatly enhanced his mobility, but it also carried a potent toxin.
In his quest to regain the Eight Spider Lances, he had ventured deep into the Star Dou Forest when obtaining his third soul ring. After a long search, he finally found a 2,500-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider.
As this species was known for its evil nature, Tang San hadn't hesitated to act. With his past life's experience, he successfully defeated the creature and obtained his third soul ring, though this time, he hadn't been lucky enough to receive the external spirit bone.
He could only hope to return to the Star Dou Forest later and search for another one.
The two middle-aged men exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.
Even if they attacked Tang San now, they couldn't kill him with the city's enforcement team nearby. And if they delayed treating Dai Huabin, the consequences would be even worse. While Tang San's fate was uncertain, their deaths were guaranteed.
One of them lifted Dai Huabin and walked out, while still shouting a threat over his shoulder.
"Kid, I'll remember this. You've crossed the Duke's Mansion—don't regret it!"
Tang San was unfazed by the threat. This was Shrek City. Just as he didn't dare kill Dai Huabin, the Duke's Mansion would have to think twice before making a move against him here.
And with a Soul King leading the charge, killing him was nearly impossible. By the time they brought reinforcements, he'd already be safely enrolled at Shrek Academy.
"Um..."
At this moment, the attendant, who had been hiding behind the counter during the fight, cautiously emerged and addressed Tang San.
"Could you please pay for the damages to the hotel?"
"..."
