than Wu Sidu's, more importantly, he displayed his own battle armor 。He was the first in Class One of Grade One to own a fighting suit. 。This will undoubtedly bring him huge popularity. 。Who wouldn't..."Let's go take a look." Xie Xie ignored Tang Wulin's retort and hurried towards it. Tang Wulin and Gu Yue followed behind.

"You can't do this, you can't! This is my dinner companion!" Even before they got close, the three of them could hear the cries of anguish. It was Li Shu's voice.

Xie Xie rushed to the front and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

The stove outside the Muan Can Beef Shop was overturned, clay pots scattering and shattering on the ground. Beef broth flowed across the floor, its rich aroma mingling with steam. The scene was a mess.

Li Shu lay sprawled at the shop's entrance, blood trickling from his mouth and one eye swollen shut. His face was etched with grief and fury.

Three burly men stood at the entrance of the shop. The one in front was a bald man who was bare-chested despite the cold, with dragon tattoos on his arms.

The other two were also tall and imposing, with fierce brows and piercing eyes that didn't look friendly at all.

"Someone surnamed Li, a wise person knows the times. This street dares not pay protection money yet, you are pushing three and four, do you think I'm Guanglong here to beg for food I come here specifically to ask for money from you If it wasn't because your beef stew is really good, I would have long since shut you down. Don't waste my time, if you can't pay today, your shop won't be open tomorrow." The bald man said with a cold gaze. Although there were quite a few people around him, none of them dared to speak up.

"Brother Guanglong, it's really not that I won't give protection money. It's just that my wife is seriously ill. I work from dawn till dusk to earn some money to treat her. You can't ruin my business! If you do, my wife won't survive, and neither will I."

"Haha! You threaten me with your life Do you think I care about your pathetic existence Without you, there'll be another one here to pay protection money. If you can't pay, get lost and stop taking up space." As he spoke, he took a step forward and kicked over the stove at the entrance, sending the simmering beef stew flying in all directions, turning the entire place into a mess.

Li Shu let out a sorrowful cry, "Guanglong, I'll fight you to the death!" He struggled to his feet and, head bowed, charged towards Guanglong.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Guolong let out a ferocious laugh, raising his leg and kicking the man into a headstand. "Desperate In front of me, you don't even have the qualifications to be desperate! Don't forget, I'm a Soul Master."

"Can soul masters bully people like that" A furious voice rang out from the side. The three of Tang Wulin had just squeezed into the crowd and saw this scene. Xie Xie quickly rushed to Li Shu's face, helping him up, while Tang Wulin glared angrily at the Guanglong.

Koulong was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was just a child. He burst into arrogant laughter once again, "This street is really deserted! Even a kid dares to meddle in my business, truly born a bull calf fearless of tigers. Scram, I won't hit kids."

Tang Wulin, from a humble background, hated nothing more than bullying the weak. He strode up to Guanglong, "How could you treat Uncle Li like this Do you even have any humanity"

Gu Long snorted coldly, "Can human beings be eaten as food He wants to feed his wife, so does that mean I don't need to feed my mother There are rules, you little bastard, scram and don't delay me from doing things."

As he was about to make a move, he raised his hand and pushed towards Tang Wulin's shoulder.

Tang Wulin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly punched his own palm.

With a thud, Guanglong was sent stumbling back, but Tang Wulin was also taken aback. This fellow managed to control his body even when caught off guard, and he wasn't weak either!

"Not bad, you actually have some strength," he opened his big hands, this time reaching for Tang Wulin's shoulder. His exposed arms were covered in bulging muscles, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

Tang Wulin's greatest strength wasn't his spirit ability, but his raw power. He would raise his hand and deliver a crushing punch.

With another dull thud, the tables had turned. This time it was his turn to be pushed back. He felt Gu Long's palm like hammered bronze, with incredible strength. His own invincible power seemed to falter against this force, and he staggered two steps backward.

Kōryū was also taken aback. He had used considerable force in his grasp, but the strength coming from the youth's fist shook him, preventing him from seizing it.

"Not bad, you've got some strength!" Guanglong stepped forward again, reaching out toward Tang Wulin once more.

Just then, strands of blue-silver grass surged from Tang Wulin's right hand. In the blink of an eye, they enveloped the Light Dragon. The Light Dragon's legs went weak, sinking deep into the ground, unable to exert any force. Immediately after, a figure shot up into the air, their legs hanging directly on his shoulders. A dagger was pressed against his neck.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had trained together for three months, their cooperation already seamless. Seeing that Tang Wulin was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Gu Yue and Xie Xie, who helped Li Shu up, cooperated with him to launch an offensive.

Suddenly caught off guard, Guanglong was instantly pinned by the Light Dragon dagger at his throat.

With the Blue Silver Grass retracted, Tang Wulin still had great confidence in Xie Xie.

"Apologize to Uncle Li and compensate for the losses. Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Xie Xie's voice was chillingly cold. Seeing the kind Uncle Li being bullied, he was filled with anger at this moment.

"Don't be impulsive, brother. Let's talk it out." The two burly men beside him only reacted at this moment. These gangsters had a knack for assessing situations. If it were an adult making a move, they wouldn't be too afraid, after all, not many people would dare to kill someone in broad daylight. But a child was different, because their age often led to reckless impulsiveness.

"There's nothing good about dealing with people like you," Xie Xian said in a cold voice. "Pay for Uncle Li's losses and medical expenses, or I'll kill this bald man."

"Koulong suddenly laughed, "Buddy, you're a Soul Master, right Just one ring. I, Koulong, have been on this street for so many years, without some skills, do you think I could keep collecting protection money here Go ahead and make your move, I want to see how you kill me."

Xie Xian was stunned. At his age, he still couldn't quite understand the concept of not fearing death. Back when he threatened Mu Xi, Mu Xi had quickly caved!

Koiryu pressed the dagger downwards. He was still hesitant to kill, but his hatred for Koiryu had made his head hot with rage.

However, as Guanglong pressed down with his dagger, he suddenly felt that the bald man's neck was incredibly hard and the dagger wouldn't go in.

"Heart!" Tang Wulin reminded in time, Gu Yue also released a fireball towards the light dragon's chest.

Kouryuu's right fist launched itself forward with reckless abandon, striking toward Issei.

At the same time, two circles of light rose from beneath his feet, clearly two spirit rings, one white and one yellow. The skin exposed on his body turned a steel gray, and pieces of raised, steel-gray scales grew around his neck.only felt a tremor in his heart. All the previous confusing situations finally made sense. 。And at that moment, he felt a sense in his heart that this portly old man was not lying; everything he said...
