Rayne walked to Yu Xiaogang who had fallen to his knees and whining in pain.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the six-year white-haired boy in front of him. The boy had a cold expression, and his blue eyes were glowing with vibrant blue light, sending chills down his spine.
"Hurting my teacher! You already have a way to die!"
Tang San immediately reacted and jumped backwards a bit, then his sleeves shook as something shot out of it.
Whishh-
A small sharp object suddenly flew towards Rayne with an incredible speed and whistling sound.
Rayne didn't show any sign of dodging or blocking. He had a calm and indifferent expression on his face.
Tang San had a delightful expression as he saw Rayne making no effort to dodge.
He was rather apprehensive when he attacked Rayne. For starter, he didn't know why he was feeling a fatal threat from Rayne. And Rayne's mother is said to be a Soul Saint. Tang San didn't want to completely offend a spirit master as powerful as a Soul Saint so soon.
He himself didn't have much background, only a 'drunkard' father back at home.
So he shot his hidden weapon, aiming at Rayne's shoulder. Not a fatal injury, but enough to teach him a lesson for hurting Yu Xiaogang.
But…
Tang San's hidden weapon which he is proud of stopped just a few centimetres away from Rayne.
Ting-
The hidden weapon, silent sleeve dart, stopped in front of Rayne for a second, then fell to the ground with a clinging metallic sound.
"!!"
Tang San's expression stiffened and his mind fell into a state of sluggishness.
But, as someone formerly from an assassination organization like Tang Sect, Tang San immediately got his composure back and shot another silent sleeve dart at Rayne.
Regardless, the result was the same. The hidden weapon stopped just a few centimeter away from Rayne and then fell to the ground.
"You…! What did you do?! How did you stop my hidden weapon?!" Tang San was panicking now.
'Just what kind of technique is he using?! I didn't see any sign of him doing anything! I saw it with my purple demon eyes! When my sleeve arrows stopped in front of him, there was no sign of impact. It was as if all the speed and force in my sleeve arrows disappeared out of nowhere.'
Tang San was completely baffled and even felt a bit scared.
His previous instinct and now seeing this inexplicable phenomenon, Tang San knew that his senses weren't wrong before. This white-haired guy was very dangerous, as his intuition had told him.
Rayne, on the other hand, completely gave up on guarding against Tang Hao. The Supreme grade Soul Ascension Pill can push him to at least level 16 at worst. Then there is the 10,000-year-old Whale Glue. While it's main function is strengthening body, Rayne can also use his methods to use it to increase his soul power.
After finishing this elite mission and returning to his dorm, he intends to condense the first soul ring of Six Eyes martial soul, and continue to upgrade his soul power.
He will be able to barely activate Kāma martial soul's teleportation ability by then. He no longer has to guard against Tang Hao.
Now he has no qualms in beating up Tang San.
"A small sharp hidden weapon shot at unsuspecting targets at high speed, and it's coated with poison as well. Quite a vicious weapon for someone who is just six-years-old. I wonder what kind of heinous person you'll grow up to be, if you're already this vicious at such a young age." Rayne looked at the fallen silent sleeve darts, and said in a voice loud enough that everyone in the vicinity can hear it. There was quite a bit of hidden meaning in his words.
Sure enough, the kids who heard Rayne's words had pale and frightened expression when they looked at Tang San. Some of the teachers who were originally in the cafeteria also changed their views on Tang San.
Xiao Wu, in particular, had a disgusted look on her face. Yesterday, she had instinctively felt comfortable with Tang San. She even thought that he was a soul beast, although she knew it wasn't possible. Before, she had thought Tang San was a kind boy. Because, there was an aura around him that made her feel friendly.
But now, Tang San's behavior reminded her of a soul beast she hated. The Human-faced Demon Spider.
This top rank spider soul beast also mostly involves in sneak attacks and poisoning, and their behavior is very cruel and ruthless.
Tang San disregarded the frightened looks of the kids surrounding him.
'How could these lowly natives possibly understand the majesty and glory of my Tang Sect hidden weapons?' Tang San thought in disdain.
Rather than that, Tang San is fully on guard now, in case Rayne attacks him.
But to his surprise, Rayne just ignored him and kept looking at Yu Xiaogang.
By this time, the grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also came back to his senses, and had an angry expression when he looked at Rayne.
He was truly angry now!
Since when had he, Yu Xiaogang, being humiliated to kneel down? And that too by a mere six-year-old boy!
To make it worse, the one responsible for this humiliation was Rayne, a child who he, Yu Xiaogang, deemed to be a trash!
"You arrogant and manner-less boy! I will teach you a lesson on how to respect your elders, on behalf of your parents!"
"Luo San Pao!"
Yu Xiaogang shouted angrily, and his body shone with bright yellow light.
A pig-like creature appeared next to Yu Xiaogang.
It has an appearance much like a dog, but its bulk is more like a pig. It is more than one meter fifty in height, and its waist measurement is something similar. On top of its head is a bulging, spherical, unknown something.
Its entire body has pale purple fur, two small drooping ears, a pair of deep blue big blinking eyes, and the expression in its eyes Is very gentle. As the fat body sways, the fatty buttocks immediately sways side to side. Four stocky little legs made it hard to imagine just how slow it moved.
This is Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Luo San Pao.
At the same time, two yellow light circles also appeared under him. Two 100-year-old soul rings.
"Knock him down!" Yu Xiaogang shouted.
"Luo!" Understanding his master's words, the hog-like Luo San Pao rushed towards Rayne.
"Stop it!" The teachers present were shocked that Yu Xiaogang used his martial soul to attack, a six-year-old child, who doesn't even have a single soul ring.
The teachers panicked. Especially since they know of Rayne's great background. If something happened to Rayne, they might face the wrath of a Soul Saint.
Even if the teachers don't take Yu Xiaogang seriously, it is undoubted that he has a 29 rank soul power with two best optimal standard soul rings. Even if his martial soul is considered trash, his 29 rank soul power is somewhat genuine. Attacking a child who is said to have only half-rank soul power is quite deadly.
Although the teachers were shocked, they didn't have time to react and come to Rayne's rescue. The distance between Rayne and Yu Xiaogang was only about one and a half meters.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang isn't attacking with the intent to kill. No matter how proud he is of his 'hidden' background and his self-worth, he wouldn't dare to blatantly kill the child of a rank 79 Soul Saint.
Yu Xiaogang is fully aware that, once he kill or seriously harm Rayne, Shui Xin'er will definitely kill him without caring about the risk of offending Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect or Bibi Dong.
Yu Xiaogang might be a fraud scholar. But he's still a scholar nonetheless. He might be ignorant of his abilities, but he's not foolish.
So Yu Xiaogang only intends on physically harming Rayne, but not too seriously. At least enough to vent his anger. He is even mercifully not using his 'great' soul skills.
Although it's petty of him to seek revenge from a six-year-old child, he can't bear to let this humiliation go unavenged.
Luo San Pao rushed at Rayne with ferocious eyes and knocked into him with its head.
"Heh." Seeing the ferocious Luo San Pao so close, Rayne didn't take it seriously at all. He even smiled a little disdainfully.
However, regardless of Yu Xiaogang's so-called merciful attack, Luo San Pao couldn't touch Rayne with its rush.
Just like with Tang San's hidden weapon attack before, Luo San Pao stopped about forty centimeters away from Rayne, unable to move forward.
"What?!" Yu Xiaogang was shocked and confused at Luo San Pao's inability to hit Rayne.
This Luo San Pao is a very unique martial soul, even the only one of it's kind so far. It seems to have a consciousness of its own. If the Spirit gets damaged or poisoned it affects Yu Xiaogang as well. So it's pretty obvious that it's senses are also connected with Yu Xiaogang.
So Yu Xiaogang was able to feel the abnormal feeling when Luo San Pao stopped right in front of Rayne.
'What's going on? It doesn't feel like a defense soul skill. But my Luo San Pao's attack definitely stopped in front of that brat, and it was also unable to move forward. Just what is this odd feeling, this sense of invincibility I'm feeling front this brat?'
Yu Xiaogang thought in shock. But at the same time, he felt intrigued. If he can manage to understand this invisible defense technique of Rayne, It'll be of great help to him. It'll further solidify his title as Grandmaster.
Yu Xiaogang was about to tell Luo San Pao to attack Rayne again. But before he could do so…
Rayne's hand moved at lightning speed and got hold of Luo San Pao's neck, choking it, at the same time, immobilizing it.
"Gah…!" Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of breathlessness as his senses were linked with Luo San Pao.
At this moment, the teachers reached near Rayne and Yu Xiaogang.
But before they could take action…
Rayne glared at them with a threatening look and said, "Stand right there and don't interfere. Otherwise…"
"…." The teachers were speechless for a moment. At the same time, seeing Yu Xiaogang being utterly powerless in front of Rayne, they wished in their hearts that Rayne can beat him a little more.
No way, who made Yu Xiaogang so unlikable in this academy. Even if they want to personally teach this man a lesson, the dean of the academy will get in their way and might even fire them.
The dean of Nuoding academy is a close friend of Yu Xiaogang and respects this so-called Grandmaster a lot.
But if it's Rayne who is teaching this arrogant and freeloading grandmaster a lesson, the dean most likely won't be able to say anything. Even the dean won't be foolish enough to pick a fight with a Soul Saint.
At the same time, all the the people here in this big dining room were shocked by Rayne's strength at such a young age.
Tang San witnessed the teachers in the cafeteria not taking action against Rayne, and felt cold in his heart. In his heart, he has sentenced them to try the ways to die.
Since these 'colleagues' are heartless and are unwilling to take action to help his teacher, Tang San took action himself.
"Hey you! Let go of teacher's martial soul and apologize. Otherwise you'll bear the consequences." Tang San said to Rayne coldly.
Rayne raised his eyebrows a bit and turned to look at Tang San, who just threatened him.
"Consequences? What can the likes of you possibly do to me?" Rayne said with a disdainful smile, at the same time, choked the throat of Luo San Pao a bit more harder.
This made Yu Xiaogang hold his neck and grunt in pain.
At the same time, Rayne came in front of Yu Xiaogang instantly and slapped his face with an appropriate hard force. Receiving a hard slap, Yu Xiaogang was forced to spit out some teeth and blood. But before he could react, he received another slap to the other side of his face.
It's hard to believe that a six-year-old child can make an adult man spit out tooth by slapping his face.
"They say it's better to slap both sides of the face, than to just slap one side of the face." Rayne said.
Seeing this, Tang San was infuriated.
"Since you insist on being so unrighteous, you already have a way to die!"
"Hmph." Rayne snorted in disdain at Tang San's words.
"You sure talk a lot of nonsense for someone within my attack range."
Rayne raised his free hand and put his index finger and middle finger together to make a knife like gesture.
Srrrk- Boom-
Before Tang San could react, just a feet before him, a invisible slash struck the floor with incredible slashing and penetration force, kicking up a lot of dust as well.
"Dismantle." Rayne muttered.
Amidst the dust smoke, Tang San broke out in cold sweat, and his fear and caution towards Rayne intensified.
"Stand there quietly and observe. It's not your turn to interfere with what I do." Rayne said indifferently to Tang San, the shifted his attention back to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was also quite shocked now. He didn't even see how Rayne unleashed that attack just now.
"Now then, let's get down to the cause of starting this mess."
Rayne looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Trash. On what basis did you call my mother a crippled Soul Saint?"
"…" Yu Xiaogang was now regretting his action of provoking this boy, just because of his intense dislike of Spirit Hall.
He never imagined that this boy would be this terrifying.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang not responding to him, Rayne just continued, "Did you call my mother a crippled Soul Saint just because she is stuck at level 79, unable to advance to level 80 due to internal injuries and damage to her martial soul?"
Yu Xiaogang : "…"
"Say, you trash. Are you even aware of your own situation? You're stuck at level 29 for decades, incapable of advancing any further. Where do you get the qualification to insult my mother as a crippled Soul Saint? If my mother is a crippled spirit master, then what is a trash like you?"
Yu Xiaogang : "…"
"Say something!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang not saying anything, Rayne jumped and kicked his right hand hardly. A bone shattering sound was heard along with Yu Xiaogang's scream.
Rayne then looked at the struggling Luo San Pao in his hand. Despite the size difference between the two of them, Luo San Pao was unable to escape from his immature hand no matter how much it tried.
After all, while his soul power rank is only 10, his comprehensive stats, even without any use of skills and Kāma seal, is equal to or above a level 40 Soul Ancestor. His 9-turn quality soul power isn't just for show. This energy makes him innately the absolute strongest at the same level.
Looking at Luo San Pao, Rayne felt quite a bit of Golden Dragon blood, mixed with light attribute, within it.
Thanks to the Skill Training Simulation Card, he has attained the pinnacle of Spirit master cultivation system research. This also includes martial soul research.
Rayne is also aware of the methods to extract bloodlines or martial soul essences from other individuals. This process is very easy for him who has Kāma seal.
So, without further a due, Rayne partially activated his Kāma seal, only letting the patterns cover his wrist. He then focused the absorption solely on the Golden bloodline. The rest of Yu Xiaogang or Luo San Pao is useless to him.
"Luo!!"
As soon as the absorption started, Luo San Pao started to struggle more harder and it's eyes were filled with violence. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang only felt confused and empty in his heart. Unlike his martial soul, he couldn't understand what was happening.
In just a matter of ten seconds, all the golden bloodline with light attribute was sucked out of Luo San Pao and condensed into a nail sized gold pill. He quickly stored the pill into his storage tool. Opening his Gate of Ashburn is quite eye-catching after all.
As soon as this process was done, Rayne looked at Luo San Pao still struggling with anger towards him.
He uttered, "Cleave."
Many cut marks appeared all over Luo San Pao's body, before it was burst into light fragments, forcibly returned to Yu Xiaogang's body.
"Cough!" Yu Xiaogang fell to the ground and spat out a mouth full of blood. The backlash of having his martial soul severely damaged has caused injuries to him as well.
"You…! Cough!" Yu Xiaogang glared at Rayne with immense resentment. He has never been so humiliated his entire life.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang didn't understand the severity of his situation. The next time he summons his martial soul, it won't have a consciousness of it's own, or even a separate entity form. The dragon bloodline has been completely removed from him, so there is no possibility of evolution in the future.
In other words, his martial soul won't be able to use soul skills on his stead. He will have to let his martial soul possess him and personally use the soul skills, just like every other spirit masters.
To use his farting soul skills, Yu Xiaogang has to perform the soul skills by himself.
All of the people didn't know what Rayne did to Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, including Tang San who was using his Purple Demon Eye.
But there was one person who somewhat understood what Rayne did.
It was Xiao Wu.
She is a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Her knowledge about bloodlines and her own experience is quite vast.
She looked at Rayne with a complicated expression. She never thought he was capable of such means.
"You!!" Tang San, on the side, was angry and helpless after seeing Yu Xiaogang's suffering. At the same time, he was starting to doubt whether he made the correct decision to worship this man as his teacher.
Yu Xiaogang seems very pathetic and unreliable at the moment.
"Say, your name is Tang San, correct? Since you have acknowledged this trash as your teacher, do you know anything about him?" Rayne suddenly asked Tang San with an evil smile.
"What…?" Tang San looked at him confusedly.
Rayne continued with a smile, "Do you not want to know how your teacher compiled his Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies?"
