Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 170 Barrier
"I'm too lazy to explain to you, you don't deserve to listen."

Dai Mubai's purpose was too obvious; even if he explained, Dai Mubai wouldn't believe him.

He wanted to get revenge. If he couldn't gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight, he would use numbers to bully the few. But he needed an excuse, and Ma Hongjun's lie was exactly what he needed.

"Hmph, since you've admitted it, then pay the price for your actions!" Three beams of light, like glazed glass, fell upon Dai Mubai, amplified by the attributes of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai ate a mushroom sausage, unleashing the flight speed of a Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, with the White Tiger Martial Soul possessing him, and the best Soul Ring configuration of two yellow and two purple rings.

The first and third spirit rings lit up.

At this moment, his state reached the Soul King level.

The moment the Zhenlong Hammer martial soul appeared, the expressions of the two Wind and Thunder Sect disciples hidden in Shrek Academy froze.

They didn't know Tieli personally, but as he was a disciple of the lineage, it was impossible for them not to recognize him.

Most importantly, Tie Li possessed a top-tier lightning-attribute martial soul, the Zhenlong Hammer.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black!
The five intertwined spirit rings exerted a great sense of pressure on the Shrek Academy students.

The first spirit ring lit up, and the right hand holding the hammer handle turned, attacking Dai Mubai's side at a tricky angle.

If Dai Mubai continues his attack, there will only be one outcome: trading blows for blows.

The aura released by the Zhenlong Hammer was incredibly powerful; trading injury for injury was something Dai Mubai couldn't afford.

He immediately maneuvered his body backward, confident that he could dodge the attack given the speed provided by the mushroom sausage.

"boom"

Tie Li slammed his hammer into the void, creating invisible ripples. To the crowd, it seemed like a pointless action.

Just as Ma Hongjun was about to make a sarcastic remark, he saw Dai Mubai spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.

A deafening roar exploded in Dai Mubai's mind, like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Caught completely off guard, Dai Mubai was severely injured, with blood flowing from his eyes, ears, and nose.

"Ah, Boss Dai."

Ma Hongjun immediately ran forward to check on Dai Mubai's injuries.

"It's the Thunder Dragon Six Sounds! He actually mastered it to this extent?"

"The most difficult thing to master is sound penetration. It is easy to damage one's spiritual sea during the practice. Our teacher warned us many times not to try to practice sound penetration before mastering the three sounds of vibration, break, and collapse."

The two core disciples of the Wind and Thunder Sect had eyes full of awe and hope. They were awe that Tie Li could master the Six Sounds of the Thunder Dragon, and they saw hope for the sect's revival in Tie Li.

With their sect destroyed, the disciples who fled were like stray dogs. Even if some forces were willing to take them in, it was ultimately not their own sect.

"Brother Dali, is there something you need here?"

Tang San stood in front of Dai Mubai, ready to fight at any moment.

"I've come to find Zhu Qing."

“But Fatty said…” Xiao Wu began to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Tang San.

He had already realized that the fat man was lying, but as his brother, he certainly couldn't say it in front of everyone.

Tieli didn't have so many concerns and directly recounted what had happened.

"shush"

A murmur rippled through the room; no one expected that the somewhat sleazy-looking fat man would be so despicable in private.

Everyone subconsciously increased the distance between themselves and Ma Hongjun.

Who would have thought that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy would frequent such places? "You...you're talking nonsense."

"Do I need to lie? What good would it do me?"

Others might not know, but how could Tang San and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils not know Ma Hongjun?
The problem of the evil fire in the martial soul is one aspect, but is it really just about solving the problem of the evil fire?
Tang San and his companions simply saw through it but chose not to say anything.

Why was Ma Hongjun's problem of lustful desires suppressed for so long under the master's grueling training?
At this moment, Ma Hongjun's sophistry seemed exceptionally weak.

"Let's go," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly as she approached Tie Li.

Compared to Dai Mubai's self-degradation, Tie Li's image in Zhu Zhuqing's mind is undoubtedly better.

Or rather, it was Dai Mubai's irresponsibility and self-degradation that gave Tie Li the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Even now, Zhu Zhuqing clearly remembers the scene where Dai Mubai dared not face reality and abandoned her; in the Zhu family, she was constantly threatened by her sister's assassination plots, and the slightest carelessness could lead to her tragic death in some accident.

She lived cautiously, never daring to relax for a moment. She was only a few years old at the time, yet she had to live such a hard life.

When she needed someone to rely on, the man her family had chosen for her abandoned her and chose to wallow in self-pity. How desperate she must have felt in that situation.

When she chose to leave the Star Luo Empire and came to the Heaven Dou Empire, she encountered misfortune due to her appearance, but fortunately she met Tie Li.

At her most vulnerable moment, Tie Li's image easily entered her heart.

At the very least, during their brief time together, Tie Li became her support, and that was exactly what she needed most.

Therefore, she began to try to understand Tieli's personality and his background.

Only then did they realize that Tieli was carrying such a heavy responsibility, but he did not give up.

When the Wind and Thunder Sect was destroyed by the Spirit Hall, he, as a disciple who had fled, never gave up hope and resolutely took on the responsibility of rebuilding the Wind and Thunder Sect.

Ning Fengzhi had told the Shrek Seven Devils about Tie Li, and while he admired him, he also felt that the hope was slim.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly had a bold idea: she could stand behind him and support him.

But this thought was quickly dispelled; the fate of her family weighed on her like a huge rock, making it hard for her to breathe.

Tang San only understood his doubts after hearing Ning Fengzhi's account of Tie Li's background.

In the blacksmith shop in Notting City, Tang San wondered why Tie Li was there. He was clearly a noble Soul Master, yet he was willing to grovel and pretend to be the lowest of the low, a blacksmith.

It just so happened that the time coincided with the destruction of the Wind and Thunder Sect by the Spirit Hall. After the Wind and Thunder Sect was destroyed, Tie Li, who had escaped, could only hide and work as a blacksmith in the small city of Notting.

Tang San already understood the huge gap between the blacksmith profession and the Soul Master. Almost no Soul Master would lower their noble posture to choose the lowest blacksmith profession, which might be a good way to conceal their identity.

Watching the two figures leave together, Dai Mubai slammed his fist into the ground. His angry face, along with the bloodstains on his face, made him look even more ferocious.

"asshole."

"Boss Dai, why don't we just forget about it? You're not short of women anyway, there's no need to make a fuss over one woman..."

Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, he was slapped by Dai Mubai.

"Snapped"

Dai Mubai showed no mercy in that slap.

"Fatty, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll be very rude to you."

After being beaten, Ma Hongjun no longer dared to speak out of turn, but he still cursed inwardly.

You can't beat him, and he even stole your woman. I tried to give you some advice, and you took it out on me.
