Lin Li turned around and continued wandering the streets, buying some skewers.
Hearing a commotion nearby, he quickly squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.
Surrounded by the crowd were an old man lying on the ground and a small stall selling protective talismans.
“Everyone, come look!
They’re bullying an old man!”
The old man was rolling around on the ground, throwing a tantrum, waving his hands about as if grabbing at non-existent enemies.
“You!
You clearly didn’t want to buy my things but tried to snatch them, and you even stepped on my protective talismans!”
The stall owner appeared to be an honest woman, her face currently flushed red with anger.
“That’s because your things are no good!
Otherwise, why wouldn’t you let me look?
If I don’t buy it, I can’t even hold it?”
Lin Li, watching the drama, felt his lip twitch.
He had still overestimated the reasons ordinary people had for starting conflicts.
To be able to say such words, it seemed this old man must have been quite a character in his youth.
However, the matter clearly wasn’t going to be resolved that quickly.
The old man soon voiced his demands: “I don’t care, you must compensate me.
My back is about to break, oh, my back…
at least three gold coins!
Oh, my back…”
“You old man, how unreasonable!”
At that moment, a crisp and capable female voice rang out from the crowd.
Then, a red-short-haired girl wearing the uniform of Blazing Academy stepped out from not far from Lin Li, pointing her finger at the old man and starting to scold him.
“That’s some impressive attack power!”
Lin Li couldn’t help but exclaim.
A red-haired youth beside him said somewhat awkwardly, “It certainly is.
Her attack power has been strong since she was a child.”
Lin Li turned his head and looked at the person beside him, asking, “Do you know her?”
The youth felt the gazes of the surrounding people fall on him and quickly waved his hands, saying, “I don’t!”
“Heh heh!”
Lin Li gave an awkward laugh.
These two were standing together, both wearing school uniforms and looking so much alike; saying they didn’t know each other was simply not convincing.
As if thinking of something, Lin Li asked the youth uncertainly:
“Huo Wushuang?”
“You know me?”
The two looked at each other.
If this person was Huo Wushuang, then the girl scolding the old man was Huo Wu.
Too many years had passed, and Lin Li had forgotten these side characters.
I have naturally heard of it.
I am Lin Li, honored to meet you.”
Huo Wushuang didn’t notice Lin Li’s polite formalities at all, feeling quite smug in his heart.
“Brother!”
Huo Wu’s loud voice diverted Huo Wushuang’s attention, and Lin Li also turned to look.
At this moment, something seemed to have broken out at the other end of the crowd.
Lin Li followed Huo Wushuang over there, and Huo Wu said somewhat indignantly:
“A human trafficker just took advantage of the chaos to snatch several children.
Let’s give chase!”
Lin Li scanned the surroundings and saw a familiar face in the crowd—it was the passerby he had just questioned earlier.
Seeing his grief-stricken expression, Lin Li’s heart sank as he realized something bad had happened.
“Which way did they go?”
Only then did Huo Wu notice a young boy who didn’t look very old behind her brother.
She subconsciously pointed her finger and said, “That way.”
“Good.”
Lin Li immediately ran in the direction Huo Wu pointed, his figure disappearing in an instant.
Left where she was, Huo Wu asked Huo Wushuang, “Brother, who was that?”
“Uh, a…” Huo Wushuang organized his words, “a child attracted by my strength.”
“Are you sure?”
Huo Wu didn’t believe it in her heart.
With Lin Li’s speed and age, would he be attracted by her foolish brother’s strength?
It would be more believable if it were her.
At that moment, a youth wearing a half-mask, looking very much like Lanling Wang, walked over.
He held a cup of drink in each hand and handed one to Huo Wu.
“Huo Wu, what’s going on with you guys?”
Only then did Huo Wu remember what she was supposed to do; she had just been too busy being shocked by Lin Li’s speed.
“I need to catch up quickly…”
After saying that, Huo Wu took off running, her speed not slow at all.
Feng Xiaotian withdrew the drink he had offered, already used to this.
As a standard pursuer, Feng Xiaotian had naturally heard about the festival in Blazing Fire City.
In his eyes, Huo Wu was the most beautiful and most talented girl, so he naturally had to find time to come and watch her dance…
Although Huo Wu had clearly stated she wouldn’t participate in such activities, Feng Xiaotian felt that just being able to see Huo Wu made him happy.
“…That’s roughly what happened.”
Huo Wushuang finished explaining what had just happened to Feng Xiaotian and was about to follow his sister’s footsteps when he was stopped by Feng Xiaotian.
Now that Huo Wu wasn’t there, Feng Xiaotian’s intelligence returned.
“According to what you said, those traffickers disappeared in the time it took for you to turn your head.
That means their strength is definitely not weak…
For safety’s sake, I’ll follow them, and you go back to the academy to report it.”
“How can I do that!”
“Listen to me, I’m faster.”
Feng Xiaotian said with great confidence.
Then, his Storm Wind Two-Headed Demonic Wolf possessed him, and he ran out with the wind at his feet. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Huo Wushuang hesitated for a moment but still decided to return to the academy to ask his grandfather for help.
If Feng Xiaotian’s guess was correct, those traffickers were very likely powerful Soul Masters.
Such Soul Masters were known by others as Fallen Soul Masters!
On the other side.
Lin Li chased for several minutes before he saw the traffickers running away, each holding two children in their arms; there were four of them in total.
The four of them also noticed Lin Li.
They exchanged glances, and one man threw the two children in his arms to a nearby accomplice, turning around to face Lin Li.
Seeing the four Soul Rings appearing at his feet, Lin Li’s expression became somewhat solemn.
It seemed his Soul Rings couldn’t be hidden today.
For the sake of time, he had to kill the opponent quickly!
In the next moment, the massive Mahoraga Martial Soul appeared behind Lin Li, granting him two passive Soul Skill enhancements.
“How is this possible?!”
The trafficker looked at the one yellow and one purple Soul Ring at Lin Li’s feet, feeling as if his worldview had been shattered.
How could such a person exist?
This could no longer be described as merely being a genius!
Before he could think further, he already saw Lin Li’s fist enlarging in his field of vision.
The man gripped his condensed straight sword Martial Soul, released his third attribute-boosting Soul Skill, and with muscles bulging, he slashed toward Lin Li.
Lin Li didn’t take the hit head-on.
He stopped his momentum and sidestepped to avoid the downward slash.
At the same time, recalling Tang San’s Controlling Crane Catching Dragon exertion techniques, he spun around, refocusing the power of his sprint into his fist, and after a full rotation, he slammed it fiercely into the man’s face!
“Bang!”
The body fell from the rooftop to the ground with a loud thud.
Before the man could react, Lin Li had already leapt down from above and thrown another punch!
“Agh!!”
A cry of pain rang out.
The man’s eyes turned blood-red, and a bloody aura surrounded his body.
Lin Li felt something was wrong.
This blood-colored gas was not inherent to his Martial Soul, which meant…
This person was an Evil Soul Master!
In this era, that was a Fallen Soul Master!
Immediately, Lin Li no longer hesitated.
Soul Power surged in his right hand, and a milky-white sword was summoned.
“Puchi!”
The Sword of Extermination was thrust ruthlessly into the man’s abdomen, and he was clearly shocked.
This youth’s strength was indeed great, but he could have definitely held out until he activated his secret technique, and according to his expectations, he should have been able to counter-kill…
It was just that he never would have imagined this youth was actually…
“Twin Martial Souls…
I am unwilling…”
