Chapter 278 Yu Tianlong Requests a Challenge.
"I want to know who in Maple Snow City is a genius who can rival this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master?" Wu Xuan repeated.
Nan Qiuqiu was immediately annoyed; it turned out he wasn't here to see her.
"Want to know that information? Hmph! Let's make it clear first, that information isn't cheap. Let's see how much you've offered!" Xiao Ye's eyes flickered as he picked up the cloth bag on the table and examined it.
Wu Xuan naturally understood what the other party meant, but money was the last thing he needed. He reached for the soul tool on his wrist, and a savings card worth one thousand gold soul coins flew out, directly embedding half of it in the solid wood table in front of Xiao Ye. This scene startled the shop assistant beside him, causing his pupils to dilate slightly.
"Hiss~!" The dozen or so young people present were also startled. Wu Xuan's method truly shocked them. A fragile gold soul coin savings card had actually driven directly into the solid wood table made of century-old birch wood without damaging the rest of the table, and the gold soul coin savings card itself was undamaged. Yu Tianlong knew he couldn't do that.
"Can you tell me now?" Wu Xuan looked at Xiao Ye, who was clutching the cloth bag.
"Yes, yes, of course I can!" Xiao Ye couldn't help but swallow, then slowly said, "The person Sister Qiuqiu mentioned earlier was actually someone I discovered. About ten days ago, I went back to Maple Snow City to visit my parents. Afterwards, because I missed the Maple Snow Junior Soul Master Academy where I studied as a child, I made a special trip there. When I arrived at the academy, my former homeroom teacher and principal warmly welcomed me."
"Who wants to hear all this? Can you get to the point?" Wu Xuan sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Okay, okay! Actually, it was because I went back to school that day that I discovered that little girl." Xiao Ye seemed to be recalling something.
"A little girl?" Wu Xuan's eyes brightened slightly. Judging by the timeline, Xue Di would be only twelve or thirteen years old now after her human transformation.
"Yes! She's truly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, even more beautiful than Sister Qiu Qiu. So I inquired about her with the principal, but he said her talent was very average, practically nonexistent. For a moment, I felt sorry for her, but then an indescribable joy welled up inside me."
"She's so beautiful. If her talent is so poor, could I protect her, and then would she fall in love with me? So that very night, I prepared to confess my feelings. But then I saw her leave with a man old enough to be her father, leaving the academy."
"I recognize that man, the head of the Wang family in Maple Snow City. I followed them all the way, and just when I felt heartbroken, thinking love was dead, an unbelievable scene unfolded—that little girl was actually a Soul King!"
"A Soul King from a beginner Soul Master Academy?" Xing Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"Continue!" Wu Xuan's eyes lit up.
"That little girl actually killed the head of the Wang family in Maple Snow City with a single palm strike! That head of the Wang family in Maple Snow City was a genuine high-level Soul King! He was killed so easily with a single palm strike! If it weren't for my special martial soul, I wouldn't have seen this at all." Xiao Ye exclaimed, slightly exaggeratedly.
"Did that little girl notice you?" Wu Xuan pressed. If Xiao Ye had been discovered, then this information would be useless. At least if Wu Xuan were the Snow Emperor, he wouldn't have stayed in the same place any longer.
"Of course not, it was nighttime then, and my martial soul is Night Dragon, a wandering knight in the dark, how could she possibly notice me? Besides, I'm also a Soul King." Xiao Ye said with a sneer.
"Did you hear that, Jade Heavenly Dragon! A Soul King from the Elementary Soul Master Academy, in another year or two, you'll be kneeling too!" Nan Qiuqiu said with ill intent.
Yu Tianlong pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, "I can understand these words individually, but put together, it's too outrageous! How could a beginner Soul Master Academy possibly lead to a Soul King level?"
"Oh! I see, Nan Qiuqiu, you and Xiao Ye are putting on an act for us!" Xingyan suddenly pointed at Xiao Ye indignantly.
"No way! I'm just telling the truth!" Xiao Ye retorted.
"Fifth grade at a beginner Soul Master Academy? May I ask, Young Master Xiao, what grade were you in back then?" Xingyan mocked.
"Uh!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately fell silent. Even Nan Qiuqiu, who was standing to the side, instantly realized.
Just as the Dragon Gate group hesitated about whether to return the money to Wu Xuan, Wu Xuan smiled at them and said, "Alright! The story is interesting, farewell!" He then turned and left.
"Waiter! Come here," Wu Xuan called to the stunned waiter.
"Sir, is there anything else you need?" the waiter quickly followed.
"Check, please. That damaged table is on me too!" Wu Xuan said casually, pointing to the table with the Gold Soul Coin savings card inserted.
"Okay, okay, sir, your total is 367 Gold Soul Coins. Five of those are for the century-old birchwood table." The waiter immediately produced the bill.
"There are 400 Gold Soul Coins left on this card, keep the change!" Wu Xuan tossed the waiter a Gold Soul Coin savings card and left the barbecue restaurant.
Having received unexpected news during his meal, Wu Xuan was in a very good mood. Heh, Snow Empress, it seems you weren't so good at hiding it after all!
"Thank you, sir! Please take care!" The waiter beamed, his earlier restraint vanishing instantly. That's the advantage of serving Soul Masters; even a scrap of food from those important figures was enough to feed ordinary people like them.
"Hey! Yu Tianlong, where are you going?" Nan Qiuqiu called out, watching Yu Tianlong suddenly leave.
"Brother Tianlong!" Xingyan called out from the side.
"I suddenly remembered something urgent. Let's meet another day." With that, Yu Tianlong had already descended the stairs.
Having received the news that it was highly likely the Snow Emperor had transformed, Wu Xuan naturally wouldn't hesitate and immediately planned to head to Maple Snow City.
If it weren't for the no-fly zone in the inner city, Wu Xuan would probably have used his flying Soul Tool.
"Wait a minute, sir!"
Just as Wu Xuan left the inner city, slung his flying Soul Tool over his shoulder, and prepared to take off, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Wu Xuan turned around and saw that it was none other than Yu Tianlong from the barbecue restaurant.
The Yu Tianlong of this moment was different from before. His short, dark blue hair, like steel needles, stood on end, and his entire body exuded a terrifyingly fierce aura.
"What can I do for you?" Wu Xuan said calmly, closing the buckle on his flying soul tool.
"I can sense you're very strong. How about we have a match in the Soul Arena?" Yu Tianlong asked, his eyes burning.
"Soul Arena? Unfortunately, I don't have time for that right now. If you really want to fight, let's do it here!" Wu Xuan said indifferently.
"Here?" Yu Tianlong looked around. The two were currently on the main road of the inner city gate, not a good place to fight.
"Here, I'll give you a two-move head start. If you can make me take a step back, I'll go with you to the Soul Arena." Wu Xuan said slowly, each word distinct. His pace was slow, but Yu Tianlong felt an aura as imposing as a mountain.
