Chapter 3 Tang Hao, lend me your power!
A hint of appreciation flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, but that was all.
"White Tiger, possess me."
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave."
The second spirit ring lit up, and white light condensed between the tiger's claws before exploding with a bang. A blazing white light shot out head-on, blasting all the Blue Silver Grass that had been entangled into pieces. The remaining force did not diminish and slammed solidly into Tang San's chest.
"puff--"
Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood, and like a kite with a broken string, he flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the hotel lobby before sliding to the ground.
"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
A white figure flashed by, and Ye Chen appeared beside Tang San, reaching out to help him up.
Blood trickled from the corner of Tang San's mouth, and a charred hole had been blasted through his white robe, revealing the purplish-blue skin beneath.
"Are you alright?" Ye Chen asked.
Tang San wiped his mouth and shook his head: "The bones aren't broken, they just hurt a bit." He looked up at Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with seriousness, not resentment. "His soul skill is too powerful; my Blue Silver Grass can't withstand it."
Ye Chen nodded, helped him to the side, and asked Xiao Wu to look after him.
Then, he turned to face Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai stood there with his arms crossed, looking at Ye Chen with interest: "What, you want to fight too?"
Ye Chen didn't speak, but simply flipped his right hand, and the dark golden Soul Master Enhancement Device appeared in his palm.
Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes, a hint of curiosity flashing in his heterochromatic pupils: "Oh? This is the first time I've seen this kind of martial soul."
Ye Chen still did not answer. He pulled out two cards from the card pouch at his waist, one gold and one silver.
The golden card features the silhouette of a young man dressed in blue, holding a Blue Silver Grass – it is Tang San.
The silver card features the silhouette of a young girl with flowing hair and a graceful figure—it is Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow: "Cards? You're not thinking of beating me with these two pieces of paper, are you?"
Ye Chen finally spoke, his voice not loud, but unusually firm: "You'll know once you try."
He took a deep breath, holding a card in each hand, and raised them high.
He quickly inserted the two cards into the Soul Master Ascension Device.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu!"
Lend me your power!
"Integration and sublimation!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the enchanting blue flames exploded, turning into countless specks of light that scattered.
Ye Chen's figure reappeared, and the features of Tang San and Xiao Wu appeared on him.
For the first time, a serious look appeared in Dai Mubai's heterochromatic eyes.
He could sense that although Ye Chen's soul power fluctuations were still at level twenty-nine, his aura was completely different.
"Interesting." Dai Mubai's smile faded, and he assumed a fighting stance. "Come on, let me see what you're made of."
Ye Chen didn't speak, but simply crouched down slightly, then suddenly rushed forward.
Dai Mubai's pupils contracted, and he instinctively dodged to the left.
A pale blue light swept past his right side, the force of the punch grazed his cheek, leaving a deep dent in the wall.
So fast!
Dai Mubai felt a chill run down his spine.
Ye Chen reappeared, this time attacking from the front.
His right fist, wreathed in light, aimed straight for Dai Mubai's chest.
This punch combined the skillful force of Tang Sanxuan's Jade Hand with the explosive power of Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit, making it far more powerful than a full-force attack from an ordinary Soul Master.
Dai Mubai did not dodge; he wanted to take the punch head-on and test his opponent's strength.
The tiger's claws opened, meeting Ye Chen's fist.
Their fists and claws clashed, producing a dull, loud thud.
Dai Mubai took a step back, his palms feeling slightly numb.
Ye Chen also took three steps back, leaving several shallow bloodstains on his fist.
In terms of strength, Dai Mubai still has the advantage.
But Dai Mubai's expression changed, not because of Ye Chen's power, but because he sensed it.
In the instant their fists clashed, Ye Chen's power seemed to come alive, suddenly transforming from the skillful force of the Xuan Yu Hand into the explosive power of the Soft Bone Rabbit, catching Dai Mubai completely off guard.
"Your fighting style...can switch?" Dai Mubai frowned.
Ye Chen didn't answer, and charged forward again.
The fighting style in this form is unpredictable and ever-changing. Sometimes it is as exquisite as Tang San's control, and sometimes as swift and explosive as Xiao Wu's. The two styles switch seamlessly, making it impossible to defend against.
Dai Mubai had no choice but to take it seriously.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
His third spirit ring lit up, purple light covered his entire body, his muscles swelled again, white tiger stripes appeared on his skin, and his defense increased dramatically.
Ye Chen's next few punches landed on him, producing a metallic clang, but they failed to cause any real damage.
"I admit you're strong, but you still can't break through my defenses."
"The gap between thousand-year soul rings cannot be overcome by borrowing the power of two people."
Dai Mubai shook his head and slapped Ye Chen's shoulder with one paw.
Ye Chen was sent flying backward, somersaulted in mid-air, barely managed to steady himself, and knelt on the ground.
"Brother Chen!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, trying to rush over, but Tang San held her back.
"Don't go." Tang San's voice was deep. "He hasn't admitted defeat yet."
Ye Chen raised his head, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on Dai Mubai, but a smile appeared on his lips.
"Indeed... the attack power is insufficient."
He slowly stood up, reached into his card pouch at his waist, and pulled out a third card.
The card was jet black, with the silhouette of a burly man printed on it. The man had a rugged face, piercing eyes, and held a black hammer in his right hand, exuding a terrifying aura of violence and dominance.
Just one card was enough to make Dai Mubai feel an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out in disbelief, "That's my... father?!"
Ye Chen did not answer.
He pulled Tang San's card and Xiao Wu's card out of the sublimator.
Insert the jet-black Tang Hao card into the card slot.
The sublimator emitted a piercing hum.
Tang Haoka trembled violently, as if resisting, or perhaps disdainfully.
Ye Chen pushed it in forcefully.
"Get in here!"
But it was bounced back by a powerful force.
He tried to insert it three times, and each time it bounced back, his palm even went numb from the shock.
I've tried using the Tang Hao card countless times before, and every time I failed.
Ye Chen's forehead was covered in sweat, but he did not give up.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Tang Haoka resisted him because he was unworthy?
Or is it because...some kind of "connection" is missing?
Ye Chen took a deep breath, reinserted Tang San's card into the first slot, and then aligned Tang Hao's card with the second slot.
This time, Tang Hao's trembling lessened.
It seemed to sense something—the aura of Tang San's card in the first card slot.
Ye Chen no longer hesitated and forcefully pushed Tang Hao's card into the slot.
With a soft "click," Tang Hao's card was firmly embedded in the sublimator.
Ye Chen gripped the sublimator tightly and pulled the trigger.
"Tang San, Tang Hao!"
A crimson light surged and swirled around his body.
Lend me your power!
"Integration and sublimation!"
