At this moment, Yu Tianheng brought his group over to Lu Feng. "Brother, thank you for your help earlier."
"It was just a small effort."
Lu Feng waved his hand casually, a relaxed expression on his face, and said, "My name is Tang Si, a man who does good deeds without leaving a name."
"Hahaha, Tang Si? You don't happen to have a brother named Tang San, do you?"
Hearing this, Osler couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Osler!" Yu Tianheng immediately frowned and stopped him with dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, making a joke out of someone's name was very impolite.
Yu Tianheng had just exchanged a few blows with Dai Mubai, and he had a rough idea of Dai Mubai's strength. If it came to a real fight, none of the other members of the Imperial Fight Team were Dai Mubai's match.
This Tang Si before him was actually able to easily suppress Dai Mubai. Moreover, his age seemed to be about the same as his own.
Such a young and promising person was naturally worth befriending.
"Osler, are you not going to thank Brother Tang Si for his help?" Yu Tianheng said in a low voice.
Osler was a little reluctant, but he still cupped his hands towards Lu Feng and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang."
"It's nothing. Speaking of which, I do indeed have a brother-in-arms," Lu Feng cupped his hands back at Osler very naturally, returning the other's somewhat perfunctory thanks.
The moment he raised his hand, the soul tool on his wrist was 'inadvertently' revealed. Under the light, it faintly exuded a unique luster.
"Brother Osler's martial soul is the Ghost Leopard, known as the jungle killer. It is naturally subject to many restrictions indoors."
The corner of Lu Feng's mouth rose slightly, and with a faint smile, he said, "If it were in the wild, with a prior ambush, that Dai Mubai would have probably been taken down by you in one blow."
"Good brother, so you were thinking the same thing as me, haha!"
Hearing this, Osler burst into hearty laughter, clearly very pleased with Lu Feng's words.
Yu Tianheng glanced at the soul tool on Lu Feng's wrist, and his heart stirred slightly. He tentatively asked, "I wonder which family Brother Tang Si is from? You helped my team member today, so I will definitely pay a visit to thank you when I return."
Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng's eye for things was naturally not bad. He could tell at a glance that the soul tool on Lu Feng's wrist was no ordinary item.
From its material to its craftsmanship, it all showed its extraordinariness. It was definitely not something an ordinary commoner soul master could afford.
"I'm just an unaffiliated person with no special background," Lu Feng said with a faint smile and a relaxed tone.
"I am a soul master hunter. I usually like to go to the forest to gather herbs and practice poison-making. If the mood strikes, I might kill a person or two as well."
There was a hint of a joke in Lu Feng's words, but his life over the past year had really been like that.
The resources in the forest were very rich. While hunting soul beasts, Lu Feng had also collected many rare medicinal herbs.
"Oh? Brother Tang Si also knows how to make poison?" Dugu Yan's interest was piqued, and she asked.
At the same time, Ye Lingling also looked up, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lu Feng.
As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan had been in contact with all kinds of poisons since she was a child.
Although she wasn't particularly proficient in medical skills, she had a masterful grasp of the basic principles of how poisons and antidotes counteracted each other.
Her Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul was itself a potent poison.
If not for Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, which had the special ability to be immune to most poisons, the position of the Imperial Fight Team's captain would have probably fallen to Dugu Yan long ago.
"Haha, when it comes to the art of poison-making, I can barely be considered the third best on the continent," the corner of Lu Feng's mouth rose slightly, a proud aura in his expression.
"Oh?" Seeing Lu Feng's confident appearance, Dugu Yan's interest was immediately piqued.
She usually liked to dabble in some poisons. But in this aspect, there were really not many friends who could talk with Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling came from the Nine Heart Begonia family and liked to study medical arts, so the two had some common topics.
However, there was still a big difference between the art of poison and the art of medicine.
"Then in Brother Tang's opinion, who are the ones who can rank first and second?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
Hearing this, a cunning glint flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. "Hehe, I was just afraid you wouldn't ask!"
Although it was the first time Lu Feng had met Dugu Yan, he could already sense that she was an extremely proud person, one might even say extremely conceited.
Part of her pride came from her absolute confidence in her own strength.
The other part came from her grandfather, who had the strength of a Titled Douluo.
And what Lu Feng had to do was to break her pride.
Lu Feng cupped his hands towards the outside and said with a rather respectful expression, "Senior Dugu has the title of 'Poison'. With his venerable skills, he only needs to use one move to completely wipe out an entire city of enemies."
"Therefore, when it comes to the art of using poison, Senior Dugu can naturally be ranked second in the world."
"Oh, then who is the one ranked first?" Dugu Yan listened to Lu Feng's words, still with a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of indignation in her heart.
She was clearer than anyone about her own grandfather's abilities.
Although Lu Feng had praised her grandfather quite highly, it was obvious that there was someone even more powerful than her grandfather. How could she be convinced of that?
"As for the first..."
Lu Feng looked at Dugu Yan's slightly angry expression and said with a faint smile, "Naturally, it's my master."
"My venerable master has no name. He taught me medical skills for three days and then wandered off. However, he taught a disciple like me, who is the third best in the world. So naturally, he is the continent's number one poison master."
Lu Feng said casually, as if all of this was a matter of course.
"Hmph, what thick skin. What kind of logic is that," Dugu Yan snorted coldly, her face full of indignation.
"According to your logic, if my poison skills are better than yours, wouldn't that mean my grandfather's poison-making skills are the best in the world?"
Lu Feng smiled and did not reply.
His expression was very calm, as if he didn't take Dugu Yan seriously at all.
"Damn it!" Dugu Yan clenched her fists and looked at Lu Feng coldly.
In her eyes, Lu Feng's expression was a complete provocation.
"Brother Tang Si, to thank you for your help, let me treat you to a meal."
Seeing the two 'exchanging glances', Yu Tianheng quickly changed the subject.
Yu Tianheng had been pursuing Dugu Yan for a while, but Dugu Yan had always been lukewarm towards him.
Just now, when Lu Feng and Dugu Yan were arguing, a strong sense of crisis had suddenly risen in Yu Tianheng's heart. It felt as if his future girlfriend was about to be snatched away.
"Alright, let's eat, let's eat," Osler shouted at the top of his lungs.
Having just had a fight, Osler was actually feeling a bit hungry now.
Although he was the one who had been unilaterally beaten up.
Outside the small town.
"Come out!" Dai Mubai shouted loudly.
His voice was particularly loud in the empty wilderness, filled with an unsuppressible anger.
As his voice fell, no one appeared, and it was still silent all around.
"I know you were sent by Davis to monitor me. What, does the First Prince's word carry weight, but my word as the Third Prince doesn't?" Dai Mubai's face was full of anger as he sternly berated.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
With two slight sounds of breaking air, two figures slowly emerged from the dark corners.
"Greetings, Third Prince!" The two bowed their heads respectfully, their attitude extremely humble.
"You saw everything that happened just now, didn't you?" Dai Mubai's cold gaze seemed as if it could pierce through the two's bodies.
"Your subordinates deserve to die!" The two buried their heads, not daring to meet Dai Mubai's gaze.
"Hmph, what is this little bit of humiliation? Back when the founding emperor had yet to rise, he even had to fight with wild dogs for food."
As Dai Mubai spoke, he clenched his fists tightly. Due to the excessive force, his knuckles had turned slightly white.
A blaze of anger flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "But I absolutely cannot swallow this insult today. How can the face of the Star Luo Imperial Family be so wantonly insulted by others?"
"You two, go and investigate those few soul masters for me. If you find any of them alone, kill them directly. If you run into that lotus martial soul soul master, tie her up and bring her here."
After speaking, Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with a sinister viciousness that was chilling to the bone.
"Your Highness, your subordinate finds it hard to obey. The identities of those few are very noble, especially the Jade Phosphor Serpent and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters," the leading man in black said cautiously, mustering his courage.
"At that time, your subordinate was preparing to rescue you, but suddenly felt a powerful aura lock onto me. Your subordinate estimates that it was at least a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse."
One had to know that the two of them were only at the Soul Ancestor cultivation level.
The struggle between the Star Luo princes had clear rules that prohibited killing the other party in advance. And the highest-level resource a prince could mobilize was a Soul Ancestor expert.
"Hmph!" Dai Mubai snorted coldly.
"What about that fist martial soul soul master? You investigate his background. If there's a suitable opportunity, kill him directly!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai finally revealed his true purpose.
Dai Mubai knew very well that the identities of those few people were too special. In his current situation, he couldn't touch them at all.
A background with a Titled Douluo was something even his emperor father had to carefully consider.
Let alone a down-and-out prince like him.
However, even if he were a down-and-out prince, Dai Mubai would not allow some random cats and dogs to climb over his head.
For everything that happened today, Dai Mubai swore in his heart that he would pay it back double.
And it would start with that fist soul master.
However, mobilizing Davis's people was not an easy task.
Therefore, Dai Mubai deliberately gave the two an impossible task first. This way, they would not dare to refuse the subsequent, relatively simpler task.
Otherwise, it would be a provocation against the imperial authority.
"Your subordinate obeys."
The two replied in unison, their voices low and tinged with a hint of helplessness.
