Suddenly, Ling Xiao noticed something not far outside his window.
On a street adjacent to the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall, two distinct fluctuations of soul power were clashing and intertwining with each other. It appeared that soul masters were engaged in combat, and one of the auras had seemingly reached the Soul Ancestor realm.
This immediately piqued his curiosity.
After all, Nuoding City was merely a small town with a scarce population of soul masters. Relatively speaking, their cultivation levels were generally not very high.
Even the Dean of the local Primary Soul Master Academy was only a high-level Soul Elder, while the city lord merely possessed a two-ring cultivation. Only the Bishop of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall had reached the four-ring realm.
Yet, the soul power aura he was currently sensing definitely did not belong to that Sub-Hall Bishop.
"Could there be another four-ring Soul Ancestor realm soul master hidden in Nuoding City? Or perhaps it's a Soul Ancestor from somewhere else? Interesting."
With his interest thoroughly aroused, Ling Xiao felt an irrepressible urge to go check it out. He called out to Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed nearby, so they could head over together to see what kind of good show was playing out.
Within Nuoding City, on a street right next to the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall, a flash of dark purple light suddenly flickered. From a somewhat secluded corner, a female figure dashed out in the blink of an eye.
If anyone were to look closely under the dim glow of the streetlamps lining the road, they would see that although her face still possessed a certain youthful innocence—making her appear no older than twelve—her features were exceptionally beautiful.
She wore a set of dark purple, form-fitting leather clothes that accentuated her tall, slender figure.
Her waist was remarkably narrow, yet her body was incredibly voluptuous; her chest was even more developed and voluptuous than that of many adult women, leaving an unforgettable impression at a single glance.
However, despite possessing a fiery figure that completely defied her age, her gaze was exceptionally cold, giving off an aura that suggested she might be difficult to get along with—a cold beauty in the making.
The soul power radiating from her body was around the Rank 20+ level. To attain such a cultivation level at such a young age was already remarkably impressive, as those with top-tier Martial Soul aptitude were a rare minority after all.
After rushing out of the alleyway corner, the young girl panted slightly. She cast a sidelong glance to check on the enemy pursuing her from behind, then without the slightest hesitation, she circulated her soul power once more.
Exuding a flash of dark purple soul power, she lightly tapped her toes against the ground and sped along the street. Her speed was incredibly fast, making her look like a dark purple shadow that moved almost too quickly for the eye to follow.
"Hehehehe! Beautiful girl, don't run away! Let's make friends, come have a drink with big brother! Big brother is a major figure, you know. In this area, if I say 'one', nobody dares say 'two'. Let big brother protect you from now on!"
Only a few seconds after the girl fled, a sickening voice echoed out.
Before the voice could even fade, a middle-aged man stepped out from the secluded alleyway. He appeared to be in his forties, with very dark skin, and wore a brown leather jacket.
A lecherous smirk plastered across his face made his entire demeanor look exceptionally wretched and greasy. However, the soul power aura radiating from his body far surpassed that of the young girl from before.
It seemed that the Soul Ancestor aura Ling Xiao had detected earlier belonged to this very man.
As a black soul power light surged violently, the wretched man released his Martial Soul.
A cluster of black mist erupted from his body and hovered above his head, nearly shrouding his entire form.
Yet, this was not the full appearance of his Martial Soul. The black mist churned violently as a pink light flashed, revealing two massive, bowl-shaped objects materializing within the mist.
They resembled two large bowls, and between them, a rope of the exact same color connected them together. It looked utterly bizarre, leaving one completely at a loss as to what kind of Martial Soul this was supposed to be.
Watching the retreating figure of the young girl, the wretched man let out a lecherous laugh as a yellow soul ring manifested around him. As he activated his second soul skill, the bizarre Martial Soul above his head underwent a slight transformation.
The black mist that originally enveloped the two large bowls churned violently, rapidly extending downward. A massive amount of black mist spread out, completely enveloping the man's entire body.
The man already looked like a wretched villain, and now, with the black mist shrouding him, he appeared even more terrifying. His eyes gleamed as if he were playing an entertaining game. Under his control, the black mist actually began to flicker repeatedly.
The man walked at a leisurely pace within the black mist; his movements seemed slow, but with the flashing relocations of the black mist driving his body forward, his speed actually surpassed that of the young girl from before.
Relying on the flashing shifts of the black mist to give chase, he quickly caught sight of the tall girl's figure.
He couldn't help but chuckle degenerately, muttering to himself, "I never expected a small place like Nuoding City to harbor such a top-tier beauty. Even after playing around so many times in Soto City, I've never encountered a beauty like this."
"That face, that figure, and at such a young age... truly extraordinary! Heaven has really treated me, Bu Le, quite well. Knowing that I haven't been in luck for days, it specially sent me a grand gift to let me enjoy myself, hahahaha!"
Spewing such filthy words from his mouth, it didn't take long before he drew incredibly close to the girl.
As the distance closed, a shameless grin plastered Bu Le's face. Pushing his second soul skill to its absolute limit, the black mist enveloping his body gave a violent flicker, bringing Bu Le directly in front of the girl and cutting off her path.
"Beautiful girl, come into my embrace!"
Bu Le pointed a finger forward as another yellow soul ring manifested.
The black mist surged, materializing into over a dozen black ropes that flew toward the girl, aiming to bind her tight. However, the young girl had no intention of surrendering without a fight. In an instant, she initiated her Martial Soul Possession.
Yet, the possession did not cause much of a change to her outward appearance; there was no materialized Martial Soul avatar enveloping her body, indicating that her Martial Soul was not a large beast Martial Soul, but belonged to a small or medium-sized classification instead.
A surge of dark purple soul power rapidly erupted from the girl's body, circulating continuously across her entire frame. Simultaneously, her eyes transformed into vertical slits, and at the tips of her fingers, a burst of dark purple energy condensed into sharp, slender talons.
They resembled a pair of claw blades, and their composition was not pure soul power, but rather the manifestation of her Martial Soul's power. Clearly, her Martial Soul was a small or medium-sized, agility-attack-system beast Martial Soul that specialized in speed and offense.
That was why after the Martial Soul Possession, there was no solid energy phantom enveloping her body, merely manifesting as a flowing light of Martial Soul energy.
The only truly obvious change to her physical appearance was concentrated on the claw blades of both hands. Of course, the change in her eyes also drastically enhanced her insight and perception to complement high-speed combat, making her movements even more agile and coordinated.
Facing the black mist ropes unleashed by Bu Le, the dark-attribute soul power within the girl's body circulated through her system. Her torso arched slightly like a coiled spring before she darted forward like lightning.
Her speed was incredibly fast without losing any agility, making her look like a ghostly shadow in the dark night as she swiftly evaded the ropes. Even though the ropes generated by the black mist were numerous, they were unable to trap her for the time being.
