Chapter 1134: Who Do You Want Me to Hit?

Hall Master Xing and the others were somewhat exasperated.

We saw with our own eyes, you kicked the Green Soul Beast in the face, nearly kicking it to death... and now you say... it started it!

Can you be any more absurd?

What exactly did it do to offend you?

To be beaten like this?

"Master Sun... if the Green Soul Beast has done anything wrong, please forgive it. It was invited by the War Master Hall at great cost... if something happens to it, the Soul Hall will be hard to operate..."

Full of helplessness, Hall Master Xing explained.

You, a super genius, why bother arguing with a beast...

"Uh..."

Seeing that the other party indeed did not believe that the Green Soul Beast had struck first, Zhang Xuan knew that further explanation was useless, so he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll treat it..."

"Treat? Our War Master Hall has the best healing medicines. I can notify them to come..."

Seeing that he no longer had hostile intentions, Hall Master Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Medication is too troublesome. I'll do it myself!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm still a physician. A physician has a parent's heart!"

"Heh, I almost forgot, Master Sun is also a skilled physician..." Hall Master Xing suddenly realized, unable to suppress a smile.

This was someone who could even cure Elder Qi's deadly poison; treating the Green Soul Beast's injuries was naturally no problem.

"Yes, Master Sun's medical skills are profound. The Green Soul Beast only has physical wounds, nothing serious..." Elder Qi also nodded: "Let's all witness how Master Sun treats it..."

As he spoke, he looked over with a smile, but before he could finish, he saw the youth approach the Green Soul Beast and kick it again.

Bang!

The Green Soul Beast was sent flying by the kick, soaring straight into the air.

"..."

Elder Qi, Hall Master Xing, and Palace Master Liao.

Didn't he say a physician has a parent's heart?

Didn't he say he was a physician and could treat it faster?

Is this how you treat someone?

All three of them were on the verge of tears.

"Master Sun... what exactly are you trying to do..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Hall Master Xing hurried over, grabbed the young man who was kicking with delight, and asked directly.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was his benefactor and had made great contributions to the War Master Hall, he would have probably slapped him long ago.

Bang!

Pulled by him, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to stop. The Green Soul Beast fell to the ground and looked over angrily: "Hall Master Xing, get out of the way..."

"Ah?"

Hall Master Xing was stunned. Before he could ask what was going on, he saw the sacred beast, which they had invited at great cost, shamelessly approach Zhang Xuan: "Master Sun, Brother Sun, Grandfather Sun, can you kick me a few more times? As long as you kick me, I'll acknowledge you as my master..."

"..." Hall Master Xing, Hall Master Xing, Hall Master Liao.

They had been afraid that this sacred beast would leave the War Master Hall in a fit of rage, so they tried to dissuade it. Unexpectedly, this guy actually enjoyed being abused...

As long as you kick me... willing to acknowledge you as master...

Damn, when we invited you back then, you were as arrogant as could be. Why are you so groveling now?

Are all those skilled in souls this twisted?

By the way, if it could acknowledge me as master, the War Master Hall would no longer have to worry about it leaving at any time...

"Ahem, Green Soul Beast, how about this: you acknowledge me as master, and I'll kick you..."

After thinking it over, Hall Master Xing stepped forward and said with righteous indignation.

"..." Green Soul Beast.

"..." Zhang Xuan.

"Now confirm my identity—I'm not a Soul Witch, am I!"

Ignoring Hall Master Xing's words, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the sacred beast before him.

"Uh... no!" The Green Soul Beast twitched its mouth and said.

It felt that if it dared to call him a Soul Witch again, it would be beaten to death on the spot.

"Soul Witch? What Soul Witch?" Hearing the conversation, Hall Master Xing looked over.

"Oh, it thought my soul was powerful and believed I was a Soul Witch, so it attacked me..." Zhang Xuan said.

"Soul Witch?" Hall Master Xing shook his head and looked at the sacred beast: "It seems you really misunderstood. The reason Master Sun's soul is so powerful is because... he is a very accomplished Spirit Awakener. My primordial spirit's severe injuries were healed by him!"

"Spirit Awakener?" Stunned, the Green Soul Beast finally came to its senses, full of embarrassment.

Soul mentors are also highly skilled with souls; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to awaken weapons or stabilize cultivators' primordial spirits.

It had actually suspected that the soul mentor was a soul shaman and even made a move...

"You just said you've seen a soul shaman—hasn't that profession been extinct for a long time?" Seeing that the other party no longer suspected him, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

It had witnessed the methods of a soul shaman firsthand. Could it be that besides Mo Hunsheng, there were other soul shamans who had survived from ancient times?

"Yes, when I was wandering around back then, I encountered a soul shaman with extremely powerful techniques. He could devour others' souls to enhance his own strength—uncanny and unpredictable! My friend was devoured, and I only managed to escape thanks to my strong soul power... So whenever I see someone with powerful souls, I get a bit worked up..."

The Cyan Soul Beast said.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Soul shaman techniques were extremely complex. There were indeed methods to devour others' souls to increase one's own soul power, but such methods were very malicious, and he had never learned them.

"Where did you encounter him?" he couldn't help asking.

"The Jibei Marsh..." The Cyan Soul Beast thought for a moment and said.

"Jibei?"

Zhang Xuan was puzzled: "Could it be related to the Ruthless One?"

Earlier, Cang Xu had tried to kill him, and from his memories, Zhang Xuan learned that another clone of the Ruthless One was hiding in the Jibei Marsh. This creature said it also encountered the soul shaman there—could there be a connection?

"There's a soul shaman in the Jibei Marsh? Why have you never mentioned it?" Hall Master Xing's expression also darkened.

The duty of war masters was not only to deal with the alien race but, more importantly, to safeguard the safety of humanity.

If a soul shaman capable of devouring souls appeared, they had the obligation to eliminate it—there was no shirking that responsibility.

"I wanted to mention it, but unfortunately... the War Master Hall has no one whose soul power can contend with it. If I had spoken out, it would have cost more war masters their lives!" said the Cyan Soul Beast.

"This..." Hall Master Xing's face reddened.

Clearly, the other party didn't trust the strength of their War Master Hall.

"Hall Master, no need to feel embarrassed. The soul shaman's methods are unpredictable and not as simple as you imagine. Without precautions, not to mention ordinary war masters, even you would suffer greatly... The reason I agreed to come to your Soul Hall back then was, first, to train war masters and temper their souls, and second, to train myself, hoping that one day I could personally take revenge!"

As it said this, the Cyan Soul Beast's eyes showed intense hatred.

Seeing it like this, Hall Master Xing finally understood and nodded.

No wonder the Cyan Soul Beast had never asked for rewards all these years—it wanted to improve its own soul power to personally find the murderer of its friend.

"Could you tell me more about the situation back then? If the other party really is a soul shaman, I might be able to help!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan said. His soul shaman cultivation had now reached a point where he had no heavenly way technique to continue, so he needed to find a new method. Besides, if it was related to the Ruthless One, he had to go.

"Master Sun's soul power is so strong that even I can't withstand it. It would be best if you could help..."

Hearing this, the Cyan Soul Beast's eyes lit up.

Over the years, it had tested many war masters, but none had satisfied it. This one, though young, had such powerful soul energy that even it was no match. If he were to confront that soul shaman, there might be a chance of victory.

"My companion was a Cyan Garment Beast, with the same cultivation as me, also at the Primordial Spirit realm. We heard that in the Jibei Marsh there was a Floating Soul Flower, which could greatly enhance one's soul power after consumption, so we went together."

"We went through many trials but hadn't yet obtained the Floating Soul Flower when we encountered that soul shaman. We fought him, and he fled when he couldn't defeat us. But at midnight, he attacked us in soul form. He called out my companion's name, and his soul was pulled out of his body, then caught and devoured. I tried many methods but couldn't save him..."

"Then he came for my soul. Fortunately, I am naturally skilled in soul power, so I managed to hold on and escape... Otherwise, I would have died there and never returned!"

Recalling the scene, the Cyan Soul Beast still found it terrifying.

It was adept with souls and knew the horror of powerful souls—they could infiltrate everywhere, even stealing one's soul in sleep, making them impossible to guard against.

"Just by calling a name, the soul was pulled out of the body?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

The inheritance he had obtained from Mo Hunsheng did not include such bizarre attack methods.

"Yes, as long as the other party knows your name and calls it once, your soul is instantly extracted—resistance is useless... It's terrifying!" The Cyan Soul Beast nodded.

"Soul shamans are indeed hard to defend against..." Thinking of the many techniques he knew, Zhang Xuan nodded and was about to speak when he saw Hall Master Wei approaching hurriedly.

"Hall Master, they're here..."

"They're here?" Hall Master Xing nodded: "Master Sun, let's discuss this matter later. The big trouble I mentioned earlier has arrived..."

"I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble for the War Master Hall. I'll go now and beat him until he picks his teeth off the ground..."

Zhang Xuan nodded, knowing this was not the time for detailed inquiry, and followed him out.

Leaving the Soul Hall, they soon arrived at a large square. Before they got close, an excited shout rang out.

"Teacher, we've been looking for you everywhere... You're already here!"

Turning his head, he saw Wang Ying and Zheng Yang hurrying toward him.

Behind them, the members of the Xuanxuan Society stood in neat rows. Seeing him, they all clasped their fists in unison: "President!"

"Mm, it's good that you're here. I'm about to have a match with a strong opponent, and you can take the opportunity to observe!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He had originally thought about asking Hall Master Xing to let the Xuanxuan Society come and learn, but seeing that the other party was troubled, he hadn't brought it up.

Now that they were here, there was no need to mention it.

"A match? Teacher, who are you fighting?" Wang Ying asked in confusion.

"Fighting... wait a moment, let me ask!"

Startled, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Hall Master Xing behind him and grinned: "Hall Master, which one is the big trouble? Who do you want me to beat?"
