Rose Hotel
Several days later—
Three figures gradually arrived outside Soto City beneath evening sunlight.
Compared to Notting City—
Soto City appeared vastly more prosperous.
Wide stone roads stretched across the city while spirit masters and merchants continuously filled the streets.
The atmosphere carried unusual vitality.
At this moment—
Xiao Wu excitedly looked around everywhere.
“So lively…”
Meanwhile—
Beside her.
Tang San calmly observed surroundings carefully.
As always—
He remained cautious in unfamiliar environments.
Meanwhile—
Lin Yuan lazily yawned behind them.
His hands rested behind head casually.
Almost like sightseeing rather than heading toward famous monster academy.
Soon—
Tang San quietly spoke:
“We should find somewhere to stay first.”
The others naturally agreed.
Not long afterward—
A luxurious hotel gradually appeared ahead.
Elegant decorations.
Rose patterns.
Romantic atmosphere.
Large golden words hung above entrance.
Rose Hotel.
Lin Yuan’s expression immediately became subtle.
The plot had officially begun.
Meanwhile—
Xiao Wu curiously blinked.
“This place looks pretty good.”
Tang San nodded slightly.
“Let’s stay here tonight.”
The three entered hotel shortly afterward.
Inside—
The atmosphere looked refined and luxurious.
Soft fragrance floated through air.
Meanwhile—
The front desk clerk smiled politely.
“Welcome.”
“Do you need rooms?”
Tang San calmly nodded.
“Three rooms.”
The clerk checked briefly before awkwardly replying:
“Sorry…”
“Only one room remains.”
Xiao Wu instantly frowned.
“One room?”
Before Tang San could answer—
A lazy arrogant voice suddenly echoed nearby.
“Then that room is mine.”
Several people subconsciously turned.
A blond-haired youth slowly walked downstairs while embracing two beautiful twin girls.
His appearance looked handsome and unruly.
Most eye-catching however—
Were his strange evil-like twin pupils.
Dai Mubai.
At this moment—
Dai Mubai casually glanced toward Tang San and the others.
Completely unconcerned.
“Give them compensation.”
“I want the room.”
The twin girls beside him giggled softly while leaning against him intimately.
Meanwhile—
Tang San frowned slightly.
Dai Mubai lazily replied:
“So?”
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Lin Yuan meanwhile quietly watched from behind.
His expression remained calm.
Yet his eyes grew slightly colder.
Especially after seeing:
Dai Mubai embracing women casually careless arrogant attitude completely indulgent behavior At that moment—
Tang San already stepped forward calmly.
“We won’t give up the room.”
Dai Mubai narrowed eyes slightly.
Then suddenly—
Boom.
A powerful spirit pressure erupted outward.
The surrounding air instantly became heavy.
Several ordinary people nearby revealed pale expressions.
Meanwhile—
Tang San remained calm.
Blue spirit power quietly circulated around him.
The pressure weakened instantly.
Dai Mubai slightly raised eyebrow.
“Oh?”
The next moment—
The two moved simultaneously.
Bang!
Their fists collided heavily midair.
Shockwaves spread throughout hotel lobby.
Several nearby tables trembled violently.
The twin girls immediately retreated backward in surprise.
Meanwhile—
Dai Mubai’s expression gradually changed.
Because— this blue-haired youth actually blocked his strength directly.
Not only that—
Tang San didn’t lose ground whatsoever.
At that moment—
Spirit rings appeared beneath Tang San.
Yellow.
Yellow.
Purple.
Three spirit rings.
Rank 30 Soul Elder.
Dai Mubai’s pupils instantly contracted sharply.
Twelve years old?
Rank 30?
Even he felt genuine shock.
After all—
He himself was already two years older than Tang San.
Yet this boy actually reached same realm already.
Before Dai Mubai could recover—
Tang San attacked once more.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated instantly.
His figure became elusive and unpredictable.
Boom!
Bang!
Boom!
The two continuously exchanged blows throughout hotel lobby.
The more Dai Mubai fought—
The more shocked he became.
Tang San possessed:
terrifying combat instincts precise control calm battle rhythm abnormal reaction speed Most importantly—
Despite seven-level difference—
Tang San still fought him evenly.
At this moment—
A black-haired girl quietly arrived beneath evening shadows.
Her figure looked slender and cold.
Tight black leather perfectly outlined graceful curves despite young age.
Sharp cat-like eyes quietly observed surroundings.
Zhu Zhuqing.
After traveling long distance from Star Luo Empire—
She had finally arrived at Soto City.
However—
The moment she entered hotel entrance—
Her body froze slightly.
Because she saw: Dai Mubai.
And not only him.
He was embracing two women casually moments earlier.
Meanwhile—
Inside lobby.
Tang San and Dai Mubai continued clashing intensely.
Zhu Zhuqing silently watched everything.
Her eyes gradually became colder.
Disappointment.
Mockery.
Bitterness.
Complex emotions quietly surged within her heart.
Meanwhile—
At that exact moment—
Tang San and Dai Mubai separated briefly after another collision.
Boom!
Cracks spread across floor beneath them.
Dai Mubai’s expression finally became serious completely.
White light erupted around him.
His White Tiger martial soul gradually emerged.
Meanwhile—
Tang San’s eyes sharpened.
Blue Silver Grass quietly spread beneath floor.
The atmosphere became increasingly dangerous.
At that moment—
A lazy voice suddenly echoed nearby.
“That’s enough.”
The next second—
Boom.
An incomparably oppressive aura descended silently throughout entire hotel.
Countless blue-golden vines erupted across lobby instantly like an ancient forest awakening.
The surrounding atmosphere froze completely.
Everyone subconsciously turned.
Then—
A black spirit ring slowly rose beneath Lin Yuan.
Black.
Ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Complete silence filled Rose Hotel instantly.
Everyone stared blankly toward the black spirit ring.
Their minds nearly stopped functioning.
Meanwhile—
Even Zhu Zhuqing’s cold eyes finally revealed shock.
Twelve years old.
Black spirit ring.
Monster.
At this moment—
Lin Yuan calmly walked forward step by step.
His expression remained relaxed.
Yet invisible pressure spread naturally from him.
Dai Mubai’s instincts instantly screamed danger.
Meanwhile—
Lin Yuan quietly looked toward him.
Then glanced briefly toward the silent Zhu Zhuqing near entrance.
His eyes narrowed faintly.
Interesting.
Looks like the future hell civet princess had arrived too.
To be continued….
