Tang San glanced at Hao Yun, thinking to himself that this bald guy was shameless, an adult actually wanting to spar with a child like him.
"don't want."
"It's not up to you anymore!"
Hao Yun chuckled and rushed up to Tang San, ready to spank him.
Tang San reacted quickly. Since he transmigrated to this world, he had been practicing martial arts without stopping.
Stepping on the Ghost Shadow's Mysterious Tracks, Tang San dodged to the side, avoiding Hao Yun. He then turned and ran into the village, refusing to believe that Hao Yun would beat up a child like himself in front of a group of people.
Upon arriving in this world, Hao Yun's magical power was suppressed, but his physical body remained unchanged.
Hao Yun, who was as fast as lightning, caught up with Tang San and grabbed him by the back of the neck. "You still want to run away? No matter how powerful you become in the future, you are still just a child now."
Clap clap clap.
After slapping Tang San's buttocks more than a dozen times, Hao Yun finally received a system notification.
[Selection 1 complete. Rewards are being sent out. Please check your account.]
Without saying a word, Hao Yun abandoned Tang San and turned to run away. If Tang Hao caught up with him, things would get interesting.
"Remember my name is Hao Yun. We'll meet again. Practice your martial arts well, and we'll have a match next time we meet."
The sound faded into the distance, and Hao Yun disappeared in a flash.
Tang San, standing there rubbing his butt, glared fiercely in the direction Hao Yun had left. Damn it! How dare he slap my butt! Next time we meet, I'll definitely get my revenge! No, I need to go back and forge hidden weapons.
Being brutally beaten by Hao Yun made Tang San realize that being backward means being vulnerable to attack. If he had hidden weapons for self-defense, he wouldn't have been captured so easily.
Hao Yun fled the scene quickly, running for more than an hour before stopping. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so exciting to beat up a protagonist who hasn't grown up yet! Hao Yun seems to have awakened some unknown attribute, and there's even a wicked smile on his lips.
Oh right, I've got the reward. Let's see what my martial soul awakened.

[Martial Soul: Chaos Demon Ape]
Chapter 47: Increased Stay Time
Is his martial soul the Chaos Demon Ape? Could it be that he awakened it because he has the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape?
Hao Yun tried using Martial Soul Possession, and a powerful force instantly boosted his body, causing his attributes to surge.
Hao Yun had already gained the power of three tigers by cultivating the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, increasing his basic attributes by 300 points. Now, with the Martial Soul attached to him, he has gained an additional dozens of points. With just his physical strength, Hao Yun can easily defeat any Soul Master below level 40.
Even among beast spirit masters, none are as monstrous as Hao Yun after their spirit is possessed. Generally, after a beast spirit master awakens their spirit, they only increase a few basic attributes.
As Soul Masters level up and acquire Soul Rings, their physical attributes will increase with the Beast Soul Possession.
Hao Yun's nearly 400 points of strength is something that even a pure strength-type beast spirit master would need to reach at level 50, because a level 50 spirit master can attach a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Without the boost from a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Hao Yun could easily defeat any soul master below level 50 with a single punch. He's an all-around power-up, a six-pointed star warrior—are you scared yet?
It is strong, has high defense and health, and runs fast; it has no weaknesses whatsoever.
However, Hao Yun now had a question in his mind: how should he attach a spirit ring to his martial soul to make it reach ten thousand years? But what do ten thousand-year spirit beasts look like? He didn't even know them.
Hao Yun had no idea where to find a soul beast. He was completely in the dark. He had just been running around aimlessly and didn't know where he had ended up.
Following the direction he remembered, Hao Xuan found himself back on the official road, and so he continued along it.
Upon arriving in Notting City, Hao Yun did some research and decided to first find the master to obtain some books about soul beasts before hunting them to acquire soul rings.
When Hao Yun arrived at Nottingham Junior College, he found that he couldn't get in, so he spoke to the gatekeeper.
"Help me call the master, and this piece of gold is yours."
Hao Yun tossed the gold in his hand, and the gatekeeper's eyes lit up. He bowed and scraped, saying no problem, and dashed into the academy.
About ten minutes later, the doorman brought the master out.
Hao Yun stared at the master for a few moments, wondering how someone with such a bitter face could win over Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
The master was also sizing up Hao Yun; he was certain he had never seen this bald young man before.
"Master, I have some questions I'd like to ask you about the theory of martial soul competition. May we talk privately for a bit?"
Hao Yun tossed the gold to the gatekeeper and looked at the master with a smile.
The master pondered for a moment, then replied coldly.
"Then come in with me."
Upon entering the campus, Hao Yun felt as if he had entered a kindergarten, with a group of little ones running around.
Following behind the master, the two arrived at his office.
"Tell me, what exactly did you call me here for?"
Over the years, the master has endured much ridicule and sarcasm, and he has a strong ability to discern people. He could sense that the strange bald boy in front of him was not looking for him because of the martial soul competition.
"Master is indeed amazing. Actually, I wanted to ask you about knowledge about soul beasts. In my understanding, you are an expert in this field, so I came to you."
Hao Yun didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
"Soul Beast knowledge? You're the first person to come to me to learn this, but why should I teach you?"
The master was indifferent, sitting in his chair with his dead fish eyes fixed on Hao Yun.
"I can grant you one request, of course, within my capabilities. It could be murder or anything else, as long as it doesn't violate my principles."
To gain knowledge, one must naturally pay a price. Hao Yun shrugged and proposed conditions that he could accept.
"No need. Since you want to learn, here are books. You can read them yourself."
The master glanced at Hao Yun, then got up to leave. In his mind, Hao Yun was a ruthless person. When he talked about killing, his tone was calm, as if he were talking about what to have for dinner.
"Alright, but what I promised you still stands. There's one condition: think it over and then you can contact me."
Hao Yun values promises; once he has made a promise, he is committed to keeping it.
Since he could only stay for thirty days, Hao Yun began to cram on his knowledge of soul beasts. These picture books were quite interesting to him.
The master has at least thirty books about soul beasts here. When Hao Yun finished reading, he felt a headache coming on. There were just too many. He thought he should take the master to hunt soul beasts himself.
Hao Yun hadn't thought of it this way before because he didn't understand spirit beasts. If he accidentally killed the master, he would inevitably feel guilty.
After some intensive study, Hao Xuan finally understood what soul beasts were. In fact, soul beasts were similar to monsters; they all cultivated, eventually transforming into human form and becoming gods at level 100.
Becoming a god is similar to becoming a saint in the primordial world. In this world, there's a fixed number of god positions available. As for forcibly becoming a god, Hao Yun just chuckled.
Do you think the Heavenly Dao is just for show? Even gods are just ants in its eyes. The Heavenly Dao represents the will of heaven and earth. What is the will of heaven and earth? It is the power formed by the combination of countless rules. Godhood is formed by rules.
Therefore, gods have no power to resist the laws of Heaven, because what you cultivate is the rule created by the laws of Heaven.
Becoming a god mainly depends on luck. If you're lucky and there's a vacancy for a godhood, you can become a god. Otherwise, you'll be stuck at level 99, and no matter how talented you are, it won't help.
"I can't possibly finish this lousy book!"
Putting down the book in his hand, Hao Yun prepared to find the master and take him to hunt soul beasts. If he delayed any longer, his thirty-day stay would be over. As for using points to exchange for more days of stay, Hao Yun was not so extravagant as to do that.
After asking around, Hao Yun learned that the master had gone out to buy things and hadn't returned yet, so Hao Yun ran to the gate to wait for the master.
As soon as Hao Yun reached the gate, he heard the gatekeeper's voice.
"Saint Soul Village? I think it's just a beggar's village!"
Hao Yun frowned slightly. This doorman really had a sharp tongue. It was a miracle he was still alive.
"What's wrong?"
When the gatekeeper saw that it was Hao Yun, he hurriedly bowed and scraped, for this was a very wealthy man.
"It's nothing, just two country bumpkins causing trouble."
"It's you!"
Tang San and the village chief were standing outside the door. Tang San's eyes turned red when he saw Hao Yun.
[Special Option: Beat Tang San up and teach him a lesson about the harsh realities of society (Reward: Stay time increased by 30 days)]
[Note: This is a long-term option and will never disappear.]
Hao Yun immediately laughed. This system must have a grudge against Tang San, but that suits me just fine.
"What a coincidence, we meet again. Shall we have a friendly spar?"
Faced with Hao Yun's smirking face, Tang San was furious. He felt a throbbing pain in his buttocks, so he shouted, "Come on!"
Hao Yun grinned, his body moving like a whirlwind as he rushed to Tang San and pinned him to his lap.
Clap clap clap.
Only after receiving the notification that the reward had been issued did Hao Yun release Tang San.
"Not quite there yet. You need to practice more. I look forward to your next challenge."
Tang San's face flushed with anger. He hadn't had a chance to make a move at all; his opponent had him completely pinned down. It was all because his body was too small, preventing him from unleashing his full strength. Next time, he should use his hidden weapon earlier. As for whether he would kill Hao Yun, that was no longer a concern for him.
Ignoring Tang San's angry gaze, Hao Yun shrugged.
"Come on, since you're here to study, come inside with me."
The village chief was dumbfounded. What was going on? Had Tang San just been beaten up?
“I’ll take Tang San in. I’m familiar with this academy. I’ll help him with the enrollment procedures in a bit.”
After exchanging a few words with the village chief, Hao Yun led Tang San into the school.
