Sasuke expressionlessly twisted the fat guy's wrist, the sound of joints dislocating continuing to crackle.
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
The fat guy endured the pain, a yellow soul ring flashing across his body, and he sprayed a terrifying line of fire straight at Sasuke's head!
"Hmph! At this range, if Fatty gets serious, that guy's head will melt clean off,"Dai Mubai said confidently. When it came to fire, Fatty Ma Hongjun had never lost.
The rest of the people in the hall had already backed off to the sides. They watched in shock as Sasuke didn't dodge or defend, just stood there letting the flames engulf him, motionless, not even blinking.
The spectators gasped in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun, who was spraying the flames, grew more and more pained!
The boy called Xiao San's eyes glowed with a faint purple-blue light. He shouted, "Not good! He's absorbing Fatty's soul power!"
Tang San, who had cultivated a technique called Purple Demon Eye, activated his vision skill to get a clearer look. What he saw shocked him — Sasuke was absorbing Ma Hongjun's soul power endlessly, even dissolving the soul energy within the soul skill itself!
On the other side, Dai Mubai realized something was very wrong. He immediately released his martial spirit, his three soul rings flashing, and charged at Sasuke.
"Attack!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai moved almost simultaneously, flanking Sasuke from left and right. Just as they were about to strike, they suddenly felt space itself freeze!
"Shinra Tensei!"
No one knew what exactly happened. That man didn't even move, didn't even reveal a soul ring — yet when Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai got within half a foot of him, a tremendous force blasted them both away, as if their muscles were about to be ripped from their bones. Their strength drained instantly!
It was the first time Sasuke had used Shinra Tensei since gaining the Rinnegan. Against the likes of Uchiha Madara, Kaguya, and Naruto, it was completely useless — but now, finally, it felt satisfying. In Sasuke's eyes, moving even a finger against these kinds of opponents was a waste.
This turn of events was beyond anything the Shrek Seven Devils could have expected. The young man who looked poor and showed no soul power aura at all had strength that seemed bottomless!
Tang San gritted his teeth hard. Even when facing the over-seventy-ranked Zhao Wuji, he had never felt such oppressive pressure! Looking at the man's cold composure, Tang San thought, Moving mountains would be easier than moving him.
"Xiao San, if this keeps up, Fatty's hand will be ruined!" cried a girl with rabbit ears, who leapt into the air and smashed a whip-like kick toward Sasuke.
"Got him!" thought the girl smugly. "I'll kick his head clean off!"
Just then, Sasuke slightly lifted his head. The girl met his eyes — and instantly felt a rush of heat. The next second, she realized she was engulfed in flames — Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line had swallowed her whole!
She screamed and plummeted from the air. Tang San rushed forward to catch her, seeing Xiao Wu's eyes shut tight, her brows furrowed in pain, and her whole body trembling violently.
At that moment, Sasuke actually showed a rare flicker of interest in the girl in Tang San's arms — this girl contained a power comparable to a Tailed Beast! This world... might be a little interesting after all, he thought.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, then locked eyes with Sasuke, a dangerous glint flashing across his gaze. His hand drifted toward his waist.
"Hurt the one I love, and you'll pay with your life!"
Tang San instinctively knew — he must strike once and win. Against this man, there would be no second chance!
Behind Sasuke, Mu Qing had already cowered next to Ling Xue, tears in her eyes. She whispered, "Was it really that hard to just apologize?"
As Tang San prepared to act, a deep, rough voice came from behind:
"Kids bickering is one thing, but you, sir, went too far, didn't you?"
A short, stocky, black-skinned man dropped from the second floor and slowly walked toward Sasuke.
"Teacher! Quick, save... Fatty..."Dai Mubai groaned out before collapsing into unconsciousness.
A wave of overwhelming pressure erupted from the short, stocky man. Even the spectators watching were struggling to stand upright.
Sasuke's cloak fluttered slightly as he said, "Kids are immature — but are adults too?"
"You were standing on the stairs just now; you saw everything clearly,"Ye Zhiqiu said, stepping forward. "It was your students who were rude. If I weren't present, maybe I could overlook it. But under these circumstances, what kind of 'rules' are you trying to teach?"
Ye Zhiqiu had been fascinated by Sasuke's techniques earlier and held back, but now that a strong new opponent appeared, he couldn't stay silent anymore. He stood firmly by Sasuke's side.
"Rules?"Zhao Wuji cracked his fists loudly. "My fists are the rules!"
Zhao Wuji flashed forward, launching a punch straight at them.
Ye Zhiqiu, alarmed, hurriedly released his martial spirit and blocked the blow — but was blasted several meters back before he could steady himself.
Ye Zhiqiu tasted blood in his throat. This guy didn't even use a soul skill — just pure strength?! Who the hell is he?
"Big Brother Sasuke, let's just leave, okay?"Mu Qing mustered her courage and tugged at Sasuke's cloak.
"Teacher Sasuke, let's just find another restaurant!"Ling Xue also stood up. No one had expected things to escalate this badly.
Sasuke hesitated. The kids around him were clearly scared of the short, burly man. Since even Ling Xue, the one most wronged, wanted to settle it peacefully, there was no point in insisting.
So, like throwing out the trash, Sasuke casually tossed Ma Hongjun aside and turned to leave.
"Hold it!" roared Zhao Wuji. "You think you can just leave after injuring my students this badly?"
Zhao Wuji was burning with rage. If he let them leave, he'd definitely get chewed out by Flender afterward — how could he hold his head up then?
Trash recognizes trash, thought Sasuke, sighing inwardly. Wrestling with these street thugs really lowers my standards. Without even looking back, he flashed his Sharingan and gifted Zhao Wuji a full "Seven-Day Mental Rehabilitation Package" before striding toward the door.
Just then, a soft girl's voice called out from behind:
"What's your name?"
Sasuke didn't even turn his head, simply walking out of the hotel.
Behind him, Ning Rongrong, who had been sitting quietly in the corner the whole time, stared blankly at his retreating figure.
Recovering from her daze, Ning Rongrong gently touched her cheek and murmured to herself, "Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, Father... I think... I've found the right one."
