While Wukong was daydreaming, a cold shout shattered his reverie, "Kid, did you see two powerful Soul Beasts fighting here just now?" The Soul King's guard asked impatiently, but he was shocked to see only the corpse of a giant ape and no other dead Soul Beasts.
A giant ape of the same level wasn't weaker than a Titan Great Ape, and there were no other Soul Beast corpses around. Therefore, a Soul King-level expert could naturally determine that the one who had fought the giant ape just now was this kid.
But this kid looked only about 10 years old. How could he possibly have fought a ten-thousand-year-old giant ape, and seemingly won?
So either this kid had amazing talent, or he had Twin Martial Souls!
"Kid, have you joined any family or sect yet?" Since this kid had amazing talent, they definitely needed to recruit him. Maybe the family head would even give a great reward. I'm such a clever little fella.
Ugh (Author)
"Nope, what's up?" Wukong replied softly.
Looking at the two Soul Kings in front of him, Wukong didn't take them seriously. After all, with all his trump cards, even a Soul Emperor might not be able to withstand him, and he could even play around with a Soul Saint, "You guys? Want me to join your family?"
"That's right! We are elite guards of the Youming Clan in the Star Luo Empire, and this is our Youming Clan's second young miss."
"Oh?" Wukong looked at the cold, iceberg-like black-clothed girl in front of him and knew she was one of the three beauties of Douluo, "Zhu Zhuqing?"
"What, you know me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the older boy in front of her with confusion.
"Wow, she should only be six years old right now, and she's already this… developed?" Wukong was very puzzled. Why would Dai Mubai, with such a beautiful fiancée, still go out and fool around?
"I don't know you, I don't know you. It's just that you're too famous. In terms of figure, it's not impossible for me to join your family, just give me a miss." Wukong's expression was lecherous as he stared at Zhu Zhuqing while also being fully on guard against the two Soul Kings.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt a sense of disgust rise from her heart, and she glared at Wukong with her beautiful eyes, "Dirty and despicable!"
"Presumptuous! Kid! How dare you disrespect our young miss!" One of the two Soul Kings suddenly attacked, wanting to teach him a lesson. Wukong smiled slightly, and two black Soul Rings slowly rose from his body.
A stick with golden silk wrapped around and a red glow appeared in his hand, and he sighed, "So, there's no room for negotiation."
"As the saying goes, 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.' I haven't even made a move, and you're already coming to beat me up. This is on you."
"A Soul King level, actually coming to bully a Soul Grand Master like me, you really have some nerve."
That Soul King powerhouse became even more certain of his decision upon seeing those two jet-black Soul Rings. He had to either bring this child into his own faction, or failing that, eliminate him on the spot; he couldn't let other forces get their hands on him!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, which had initially held only disgust, were now filled with complete astonishment. This boy was around her age, yet he possessed two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings and the cultivation of a Soul Grand Master.
What a talent!
"Are you being serious about dealing with a little brat? Aren't you afraid of scaring him to death?" another Soul King powerhouse sneered arrogantly.
"So what if he has two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings? A genius who can't grow up is still not a genius, is he?"
The Soul King powerhouse said slowly, "Boy, I'll give you one last chance. Either join our family, or die."
"What's your choice?" The Soul King powerhouse let out a low shout, and dazzling Soul Rings slowly rose from their bodies. They were all arranged in the standard configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, which was considered the best Soul Ring configuration in the eyes of ordinary people.
The aura belonging to the Soul King level spread out, pressing down on Wukong.
How could Wukong's Saiyan body possibly be affected by this pressure? He dispelled it with a burst of energy. "Is that all a Soul King has got?"
"I said, if you want me to join your family, you can. How about you give me a lady? The one in front of me seems pretty good."
If they really want to give her away, I'll just take her and run away. I'd destroy a Hell White Tiger and gain a beautiful wife. It'd be like being a hero in a wuxia novel, Wukong thought to himself.
Hearing these words, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate face flushed red. She was the second young lady of the Youming Clan, and no one had ever spoken to her like that before. Moreover, she was betrothed to the prince of the Star Luo Empire.
"You scoundrel." Zhu Zhuqing gazed at Wukong, her voice soft. "Deal with him! Bring him back to the family. My parents might look at me differently then."
Although she said that on the surface, she actually wanted to know how Wukong, at a similar age to her, had absorbed two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings.
If she could do the same, perhaps she could become stronger and have the means to stand against her sister.
"Yes, young miss." The two Soul King experts were ready to attack.
"A level 52 strong attack type Soul King, Martial Soul: Spiked Wild Boar."
"A level 53 control-type Soul King, Martial Soul: Green Spirit Vine."
The two of them revealed their Martial Souls, and their dazzling Soul Rings shone around them. Although their opponent was only a level 20 Soul Grand Master, those two black, ten-thousand-year Soul Rings were nothing to scoff at.
Moreover, to be able to absorb two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings at such a young age was likely similar to having a Twin Martial Soul.
Wukong coated his hands with Armament Haki, and his Golden Cudgel Martial Soul instantly turned black. His first Soul Ring flashed with black light.
"First Soul Skill, Hidden Flame Slash!"
Activating his first Soul Skill, Wukong quickly entered an invisible state, while the two Soul King experts attacked a decoy.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she retreated a bit, wanting to see just how strong this young man, who was about her age and already possessed two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, truly was.
"Gonna give you the 3000, smack that butt!" Wukong circled behind one of the Soul Kings and swung his staff.
That Soul King was utterly bewildered by the sudden attack. Because of the Spiked Wild Boar Martial Soul, and being in a Martial Soul Fusion state, his defense was quite high. The injury he sustained was reduced by almost a third, but his rear end was still torn open.
"Aaaah~~~"
A miserable scream pierced the sky. The three of them didn't understand what had happened until Wukong's first Soul Skill's duration expired. Then, they realized they had attacked a decoy.
"Damn it! This kid's first Soul Skill seems to allow him to become invisible, conceal his aura, and create a fake body." The control-type Soul King used his fifth Soul Skill, which was his strongest.
"Hmph! Fifth Soul Skill, Green Spirit Thorn Array!"
The fifth Soul Skill launched by the control-type Soul King created a series of thorny vines that erupted from the ground within a 5-meter radius of him. Some of them enveloped the already injured attack-type Soul King.
"Go to hell, brat!" The control-type Soul King couldn't care less anymore. A 20-level Soul Grand Master had crippled a 52-level battle-type Soul King with just one move; this kid's talent was astonishing, and he definitely couldn't be allowed to live!
Although the young lady's order was to bring him back, it seemed he was currently uncontrollable, so they could only eliminate him on the spot.
Wukong watched as the vines and thorns on the ground attacked him. He sneered, "Seriously? Is this the Soul King's fifth Soul Skill at level 50?"
He quickly took to the air, the vines and thorns unable to reach him. "You're done showing off. Now it's my turn."
With that, Wukong used his Sky Dance Technique to fly towards the control-type Soul King. Seeing this, the Soul King hurriedly used his first Soul Skill, Entangle, to try and stop him.
But could a hundred-year Soul Skill stop Wukong?
"Bold! Such petty tricks, daring to show off in front of a master."
"You don't even respect me!"
"Great Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Great Luo Mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum!"
Wukong swung his Golden Cudgel, smashing the Green Spirit Vines everywhere. In less than two seconds, he was right in front of the control-type Soul King, and with Armament Haki covering his Golden Cudgel, he slammed it into the Soul King's stomach.
Zhu Zhuqing, seeing the situation, started to panic. The two Soul King-level guards had already been knocked down. What should she do?
The person in front of her didn't seem like a good person. Although she might be able to wait for her family to save her, would her own sister really let her have her way?
She hadn't yet obtained her first Soul Ring and couldn't use Soul Skills. Her physical strength wasn't much better than an ordinary person's.
Now, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes, looking at Wukong: "Please don't kill me, okay? Can't I apologize? I can't die yet, there's still an important thing I haven't done."
This matter was, of course, defeating her sister. From a young age, she had been instilled with the cold ideology of power struggles, which led to Zhu Zhuqing being bullied since childhood, and an urge to resist arose in her heart.
Wukong smiled slightly and slowly walked towards Zhu Zhuqing.
