Chapter 19 Conflict
"Wait a minute, that should be my room, right?"
A tall, imposing man with blond hair and bright eyes, dressed in a white robe, walked arrogantly through the door with his arm around two twins.
Tang San was secretly alarmed when he saw the newcomer. Although the other person was tall and imposing, Tang San knew that the other person was not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but the soul power on him seemed unfathomable compared to his own.
"Are you new here? Don't you know that room has always been reserved for me, Young Master Dai? Call your manager out."
The waiter was about to hand the key to Tang San when Dai Mubai interrupted him. He hesitated, looking back and forth between Tang San and Dai Mubai, unsure of what to do. But after hearing Dai Mubai's words, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon and had found his anchor, so he dashed inside.
"Don't you think you're being a bit too domineering?"
Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help but stand up and speak out. The situation was clearly not right now, and if he didn't speak up, he might not have another chance.
Moreover, although Dai Mubai was strong, he did not exert an overwhelming pressure on Tang San. Tang San was confident that he could contend with him to some extent by relying on the various secret manuals in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu from his previous life.
"What, kid, you're not convinced?"
Dai Mubai was immediately displeased upon hearing this. He had finally managed to snag a pair of exceptional twin sisters today and was planning to come to the Rose Hotel to discuss with them the differences between twins.
Now, to make matters worse, I ran into a hothead. My good deed was ruined, and I was so annoyed that my tone turned cold.
"Hotel rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. You didn't book in advance, and now you're trying to snatch a room. Don't you think you're being too domineering?"
"Heh, who in Soto doesn't know that the last room at the Rose Hotel has always been reserved for me?"
"Besides, since you're also a Soul Master, if you're still dissatisfied, let's settle this using Soul Master methods!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the twins beside him couldn't help but chuckle, showing no sign of worry. They obediently released Dai Mubai's hands and stepped aside to give them room to move around.
Tang San frowned upon seeing this, feeling dissatisfied. However, he knew that the matter was unlikely to be resolved peacefully for the time being, so he immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"Young Master Dai, Young Master Dai, this is absolutely forbidden..."
A middle-aged man rushed over from the back, led by a waiter. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Dai Mubai and Tang San looking like they were about to fight, and he panicked.
"Manager Wang, you guys are getting better and better at doing business, aren't you?"
Seeing the middle-aged man arrive late, Dai Mubai gave him a disapproving look before speaking.
"Young Master Dai, this kid is new here from the day before yesterday and doesn't know the rules. Let's let it go this time. I'll have him get you a room right away."
He turned to look at Tang San again, his face full of apology.
"Excuse me, sir, that room was booked by Young Master Dai. Please choose another hotel."
If it were just Tang San alone, it wouldn't be a problem, but Luo Hao and Xiao Wu both live here. If something were to happen between a lone man and a lone woman, he would be devastated.
Although he hadn't yet explicitly expressed his desire for Xiao Wu, Tang San, as Xiao Wu's brother and considering himself her family, naturally didn't want Luo Hao and Xiao Wu to grow closer while he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Do you think I'm too young to be bullied? I'll show you today!"
Tang San's eyes turned cold, and he said sternly.
"Very well, I was planning to test your skills anyway, and now that you want to fight, that suits me just fine."
Looking at Tang San, whose whole body was radiating soul power, Dai Mubai's mood, which had been somewhat annoyed by the interruption of their good deed, instantly improved.
Looking at the hall where tensions had already risen, Manager Wang looked at Dai Mubai with a pleading expression.
"Young Master Dai, Young Master Dai..."
"Enough with the nonsense, I'll cover all the losses today."
Dai Mubai's face showed displeasure, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Since you're young, I'll let you go first."
Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately calmed down and calmly summoned his martial soul.
"Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 29 Great Soul Master, please enlighten me!"
A crystalline green light emerged from Tang San's palm, and stalks of Blue Silver Grass, winding like mandrakes with dark green leaves and thorns, appeared. Two bright orange spirit rings slowly floated up from below.
"Blue Silver Grass? I never imagined that Blue Silver Grass could be cultivated to this level."
Dai Mubai was immediately surprised when he saw Tang San's martial soul. Although he knew that there would usually be a few monsters coming to Soto City at this time, he never expected that there would be such an oddball as Tang San.
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
Tang San was not surprised by Dai Mubai's surprised expression, as he had seen this expression countless times over the past six years. Instead, he was mentally prepared and seized the opportunity to launch a decisive attack.
"White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
The enormous White Tiger Martial Soul stood upright, and three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from beneath Dai Mubai's feet.
Under the influence of his first soul skill and the spirit possession, Dai Mubai's already taller stature than Tang San instantly increased by another notch.
Tang San's eyes narrowed as he saw the spirit ring rising beneath Dai Mubai's feet. The thousand-year spirit ring, which he had never fought before, instantly brought him immense pressure.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Although Tang San was prepared to catch Dai Mubai off guard, Dai Mubai, as a Soul Master who had been in the Soul Arena for a long time, had rich combat experience among his peers. How could he be fooled by such a trick?
They had already reacted when Tang San launched his attack.
At this moment, Tang San was enveloped by a huge clump of Blue Silver Grass thorns. The shield formed by the 50% increase in attack, defense, and strength brought by his first soul skill and the outward release of soul power perfectly blocked Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
Seeing that Dai Mubai was restrained, Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light, and he rushed towards Dai Mubai with ghostly steps.
The ghostly figure's footsteps, shifting left and right, instantly circled around to Dai Mubai's side right before his eyes. With the help of the Xuan Yu Hand, both hands transformed into stubborn rocks and struck towards Dai Mubai's side.
"roar!"
A tremendous tiger's roar erupted from the ground. Dai Mubai exerted all his strength, instantly severing the Blue Silver Grass on his body. Seeing the attack that was already close in front of him and impossible to dodge, he forcibly twisted half of his body, and his powerful right fist rushed straight towards Tang San's hands.
Peng——
With a muffled thud, Tang San and Dai Mubai both took three steps back, and immediately looked at each other in surprise.
"If you can withstand one punch from me, you're qualified to be my opponent."
Looking at Tang San, who had just exchanged a punch with him without being at a disadvantage, Dai Mubai gave a faint word of praise.
"Same to you!"
