"Black Robe, stop your noise!"
"Black Robe, shut your filthy mouth!"
"Old fool, go wherever you belong and don't disturb Brother Wei Chen's swing!"
Three loud shouts rang out simultaneously. Frenzied Blade, Execution Wolf, and Red Man all glared at the Black Robe with unfriendly expressions. Their strength surpassed that of the Black Robe, and they had spent more time at Dingsheng Trading Company, giving them the confidence to openly criticize the old man.
They were broad-minded and admired true strength. As long as Wei Chen could create miracles and forge a new path in cultivation, nothing else mattered. There was no room for the Black Robe to make a fuss here.
"Heh heh, summoning two types of Martial Souls is already pushing your luck. You need to reach the Earth Soul Realm to achieve that. But merging two types of Martial Souls? Even a Peak Soul Realm Expert can't do that; it's a consensus in the Soul World that no one can break."
The old man in the black robe chuckled coldly, looking at Wei Chen with mockery. "Kid, give it up. It's impossible. You got lucky at Last Chance and wiped out the Sand Wolf Gang; do you think you can have that kind of luck again?"
"Old bastard, shut your dog mouth! Whether I can succeed is not something an old fool like you can dictate!"
Wei Chen shouted angrily. The Black Robe gave him an uncomfortable feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Even without knowing anything about the old man, his first impression was extremely poor.
"Kid, don't just talk big. If you have the ability, merge those two Martial Souls; then I'll admit defeat," the Black Robe sneered.
"I don't need an old bastard like you to admit defeat; just stay far away from me!" Wei Chen paused and added, "However, if you're willing to bet, I can show you how I merge these two Martial Souls together right here!"
"What are we betting on?"
"If I succeed, you kneel down and call me 'Grandpa' three times. If I lose, I'll do the same. In front of so many people, I won't go back on my word. Do you dare to bet?"
A mocking smile appeared on Wei Chen's face, leaving the Black Robe somewhat bewildered. Could it be that this kid really had confidence?
“Bastard, what a bluff!”
The old man in the black robe suddenly reacted, coldly saying, “If you want to gamble, then let’s gamble. How could I, Old Man, refuse if you want to call me grandpa?”
Frenzied Blade, Zhou Wu, Execution Wolf, and Red Man all changed their expressions. Based on Wei Chen's previous performance, he was definitely not someone who acted without reason. Could it be that he really could succeed?
Pairs of expectant eyes turned toward Wei Chen.
Only the old man in the black robe wore a mocking expression.
“Do you think I would gamble without confidence? Merging Martial Souls isn’t that difficult! To fuse two different Soul Powers together, all you need is Destiny Soul Power as a medium.”
Wei Chen thought to himself, bringing his hands together forcefully. As his palms met, a strand of pure Destiny Soul Power quietly appeared, enveloping the Sword Mountain Spirit. With that Destiny Soul Power, the repulsion of Thunder Soul against Sword Soul was not as intense. Under Wei Chen's control, the mass of thunderclouds slowly wrapped around Sword Soul. The combined aura of the two Martial Souls produced effects far beyond mere addition.
A surge of Thunder Sword energy erupted suddenly, shooting straight at the old man in the black robe!
The old man stared in shock, inadvertently struck by that powerful aura. Although he wasn’t injured, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Zhou Wu, Frenzied Blade, Execution Wolf, and Red Man were all stunned on the spot.
“Is it really possible? Can two Martial Souls truly merge together?”
“How did he do it? The power of combining two Martial Souls is immense. If he were to summon them in battle, the combined effect would be comparable to top-tier Soul Techniques!”
“It’s unbelievable; if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who would believe such a thing? I’m truly impressed; this fellow has limitless potential!”
“Who isn’t amazed? Compared to him, we seem to have lived like dogs. He’s only sixteen or seventeen years old, right? Where can we find such talent?”
"Back then, I was far from being as good."
The four of them debated fervently, all wearing expressions of intoxication, their minds swirling with the astonishing aura of Sword Soul intertwined with Thunder Soul!
"Old Bastard, kneel and call me Grandpa! With so many people watching, if you try to back out, where will you put your old face?"
Wei Chen shouted coldly, a mad grin dancing between his brows.
The old man in black paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Young man, one should spare others when possible; don’t go too far."
"Sorry, I’ve never had that kind of awareness. Sparing others applies only to people; in my eyes, you are not human. If you gamble, you must accept defeat. Stop babbling." Wei Chen sneered.
"Bastard, you're dead for sure. It won’t be long before you die; Old Man never speaks without reason!"
"First kneel and call me Grandpa. Whether I live or die is one thing; whether you're a man is another. If you're a man, your word counts. Are you?"
Wei Chen looked at Frenzied Blade, Zhou Wu, and Execution Wolf, his face filled with charming amusement.
"Indeed, a man must keep his word. If you can't even do that, how can you call yourself a man?" Frenzied Blade laughed, his gaze at the old man in black filled with mockery.
"Of course! Wei Chen, my brother, my attitude was poor earlier, but your performance has earned my respect. I apologize for what happened." Red Man said sincerely.
Execution Wolf nodded in admiration and added with a smile, "Friend, keeping your word is a basic quality of a man. Don’t worry about whether the old man kneels to call you Grandpa; if he does it, he’s still a man. If he doesn’t, then he isn’t one—so why make it hard for him?"
Wei Chen grinned widely. It seemed that these few had a rather poor impression of the old man in black!
Just like Wei Chen's initial impression of him!
The figure in the black robe trembled with rage, his wrinkled face resembling that of an old chicken, deeply etched with lines. A chilling aura of death gradually emanated from him.
Wei Chen squinted, suddenly recalling that the aura was identical to that of the person he had encountered at the Cloud Spirit Sect, a member of the Soul Palace!
"You... heh... you are all something else! Just wait to die; you will all perish!"
The old man in black shouted as his figure flickered and vanished from the Martial Arts Hall.
Wei Chen summoned the wings of the Fire Phoenix and shot out in pursuit.
Zhou Wu, Frenzied Blade, Red Man, and Execution Wolf exchanged glances before following suit.
Once outside the Martial Arts Hall, they looked around but found no trace of Wei Chen or the black-robed figure.
"Where did they go?"
"That old man in black, we underestimated him before; his speed is astonishing!"
"But even faster is Wei Chen! He’s merely in the Spirit Realm, incredibly weak... Those wings behind him are quite rare; I can't tell what kind of Beast Soul they belong to. Execution Wolf, you have condensed your Beast Soul and understand it better than we do. Can you identify those wings?"
"I can't tell. Wei Chenyu's Soul Power Realm isn't strong, but his methods are astonishing. He must have discovered something while chasing the black robe."
"We're doomed because of that old man; he wasn't just trying to scare us. He seems very confident. Could it be that he has some Major Forces backing him?"
"The sect and Ancient Spirit Academy wouldn't support him; he definitely isn't one of them. The royal family would never want someone like him hiding beneath a robe, afraid to show his true self..."
At this point, fear spread across their faces as a possibility emerged in their minds—once it appeared, it could not be erased!
“Soul Palace!”
The four of them were visibly shocked, exchanging glances that conveyed a chilling sense of dread.
“No wonder he carries that nauseating aura of death; it’s actually Soul Palace!”
“It must be someone from Soul Palace who is hiding like that! We need to report this to Sister Qingya. The black-robed figure will surely not show up at Dingsheng Trading Company again.”
Moments later, Elegant hurried back from the Merchant Guild. After listening to the four of them speak in a flurry, her expression changed slightly as she exclaimed, “Are you serious?”
“It’s very likely true. Once Wei Chenyu returns, we can ask him and find out.”
“Wei Chen… Hmph, if the black-robed figure really is from Soul Palace, will Wei Chen even come back? None of you know Wei Chen’s background. He comes from the Eastern Wasteland, where Ancient Spirit Academy and Soul Palace are fighting for territory. The original Cloud Spirit Sect, where Wei Chen started, was destroyed by Soul Palace. He’s probably pursuing the black-robed figure because he sensed the same aura that annihilated his people from Cloud Spirit Sect.”
Elegant was astute and intelligent; managing such a large Merchant Guild required calculations beyond ordinary imagination. In just a few breaths, countless thoughts swirled in her mind, analyzing everything with precision.
Zhou Wu, Frenzied Blade, and the others looked horrified. If that were the case, Wei Chen wouldn’t return until he killed the black-robed figure. More likely, he had been killed by the black-robed figure! The strength of the black-robed figure was at the level of Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom!
“Sister Qingya, what should we do now?” Zhou Wu asked anxiously.
Frenzied Blade, Execution Wolf, and Red Man were also pacing nervously. They were still waiting to consult with Wei Chen on how to merge their Martial Souls!
If it turned out that Wei Chen couldn’t come back, they would have to figure out how to merge their Martial Souls on their own, which left them completely at a loss. At their level of strength, they had long since tried merging their Martial Souls. They could think of what Wei Chen might consider, but none could achieve what he could.
That was the gap.
After pondering for a moment, Elegant waved her hand and said, “Stay alert and don’t leave here easily. Work with Ding Lao to strengthen our headquarters’ defenses. Soul Palace won’t send people here to kill over this matter; they aren’t so reckless or bold. After all, we at Dingsheng Trading Company are not pushovers!”
"Go back. I'll find a way to handle the matter with Wei Chen."
After driving away Frenzied Blade Zhou Wu and the others, Elegant stood in place, hesitating for a moment before finally making up her mind and biting her teeth firmly.
"Wei Chen, oh Wei Chen, having saved you this time, I wonder if you will be loyal to our Dingsheng Trading Company. My sister Qingling has feelings for you, which has never happened before. If the time comes, whether you are willing to marry her or not, it won't be up to you anymore."
Elegant entered a secret chamber, pressed a few switches, and entered a passage. After winding through dozens of checkpoints and descending hundreds of meters underground, she arrived at an absolutely secure room located directly beneath the lake, where no one could discover it.
The room was embedded with gemstones that illuminated it brightly, making it indistinguishable from the surface world. Countless exhaust pipes exchanged the air within the room at all times, ensuring that the air remained fresh and suitable for long-term habitation.
An elderly man sat cross-legged on a mat, quietly meditating.
"Sister, what happened?"
Upon seeing Elegant arrive, the old man slightly lifted his eyelids, as if he were so old that even his eyelids struggled to move.
"Elder Di, have you broken through to Earth Soul Realm Level Four?"
Elegant felt the powerful aura emanating from the old man and was instantly filled with surprise.
