"Alright," Da Shan nodded.
"Mhm, everyone stand back a bit. I'm about to release my Martial Soul."
"Uh, okay. Sure."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao and the others were somewhat puzzled, wondering why such precautions were necessary.
In the distance, seeing the situation over there, Qi Xiang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Look, Teacher Da Shan is about to summon his Martial Soul again. I bet he's going to have a stroke of bad luck again."
"Sigh, Teacher Da Shan, I wish you luck." Looking at Da Shan, Tong Yan couldn't help but cast a look of sympathy toward him.
"Roar! Ha!"
Da Shan suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, striking a pose he considered dashingly handsome as he yelled, "Come forth, my partner—Violent Panda!"
Following a sudden surge of soul power fluctuations, a massive soul power array pattern appeared on the ground in front of him.
It looked like a polygonal light array, radiating a brilliant white light. Under the astonished gazes of Ling Xiao and the others, a giant panda appeared, standing upright just like a human.
I didn't expect Teacher Da Shan's Martial Soul to also be a Soul Pet type. But then again, considering he is Qi Xiang's teacher, it makes sense that he would possess a Soul Pet Martial Soul himself, Ling Xiao thought to himself.
However, the gazes of Ling Xiao and his companions soon turned sluggish. When they first heard the name "Violent Panda," they had assumed Teacher Da Shan's Soul Pet would be a massive, burly, muscle-bound bear-type soul beast—the "muscular powerhouse" archetype.
Yet, as they looked at the Violent Panda before them... while it was indeed a panda and stood upright at about three meters tall (making it significantly larger than Da Shan), the reality was jarring.
The Martial Soul's upper body was clad in a light brown tank top, while its lower body wore a pair of oversized striped shorts and a pair of flip-flops. Its right hand held a large cattail leaf fan, and it sported a massive beer belly.
It looked exactly like a middle-aged "fat otaku" uncle.
If Mo Mo's appearance had surprised them because they didn't know such a cute Soul Pet Martial Soul could exist, then Teacher Da Shan's Violent Panda completely shattered their imaginations.
"This is my Soul Pet Martial Soul, the Violent Panda."
After releasing his Martial Soul, Da Shan took a few steps forward to stand beside the panda, looking at Ling Xiao and the others with a deadpan, serious expression. However, the Violent Panda scanned the surroundings, and its expression instantly turned fierce.
Its eyes flashed with a menacing light as its right hand swung the large cattail fan—BAM!—slamming it right into Da Shan. The fan was clearly made of some extraordinary material; not only did it remain undamaged, but it sent Da Shan flying into the air.
"AHHH!" Da Shan's wretched scream echoed through the sky.
With a heavy THUD, Da Shan crashed back to the ground.
The sound was so loud that Ling Xiao felt a phantom pain just listening to it; the ground itself seemed to tremble.
"You bastard! Didn't I tell you not to summon me unless there's a powerful enemy? Do you have no brains, or just a bad memory? You idiot!" the Violent Panda roared angrily at Da Shan, who was sprawled on the ground.
"No way..."
Ling Xiao and the others felt as if a flock of crows was flying over their heads.
This scene left them utterly speechless.
"That... that Soul Pet Martial Soul is actually attacking its own master," Hu Liena said, her mouth hanging slightly open in shock.
Of course, the fact that the panda could speak should have been a point of astonishment in its own right. However, considering that high-level soul beasts can speak—and compared to the shock of it attacking its own master—the speaking part seemed minor.
The reason Mo Mo speaking had shocked them so much earlier was that it was the first time they had seen a Soul Pet Martial Soul, and Mo Mo could speak even while at a very weak stage of power.
This was quite different from the Violent Panda before them, which radiated an extremely powerful soul power aura.
"Brother Bear, don't be angry! Although they are weak right now, they are the top geniuses of the Academy," Da Shan pleaded as he scrambled up.
"They are heading to the Mystic Trace Canyon for a trial, and I'm responsible for training them for a month. I just wanted to ask for your help!"
"Hmph!" The Violent Panda clenched its fists, its voice coarse and thick with rage.
"I don't care if they are top geniuses or trash geniuses! You summoned me just for these few brats? Just wait, I'll settle the score with you later."
Teacher Da Shan stood up and habitually brushed the dust off his clothes. He pointed toward the group and said, "Fine, fine. Violent Panda, show them what you're made of first."
"Roar!" Although the Violent Panda had just pummeled Da Shan, it still complied with his request.
It opened its massive maw and let out a deafening roar. Even though this roar didn't utilize any soul power—relying purely on physical strength and wasn't even at full capacity—it was still earth-shattering.
It sounded like a clap of thunder exploding out of thin air.
The imposing pressure was so intense that Ling Xiao and the others couldn't help but retreat several steps. Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao looked at his companions and said, "Don't be afraid. This Violent Panda just looks a bit fierce. Let's go!"
"Mhm." Hu Liena and the other two also composed themselves, regaining their calm.
"You little rascals, be careful," Da Shan warned.
"The Violent Panda's cultivation is already above Rank 70."
"In soul beast terms, he is comparable to a fifty thousand year soul beast. Although he won't use his full strength and will suppress his soul power to around Rank 50 (Soul King), his innate physical strength won't be affected. So, watch out!"
An explosion of fire-attributed aura erupted as Ling Xiao's team of four instantly released their Martial Souls and launched a coordinated attack.
Yan's attack arrived first; a flash of dark-red fire streaked through the air as a massive lava fireball hurtled toward the Violent Panda. However, without any visible soul power fluctuation or the mobilization of heaven and earth energy, the Violent Panda simply waved its massive paw.
As it whipped up a gust of wind, it delivered a casual slap.
The Hellfire launched by Yan's Flame Lord Martial Soul was instantly swatted into sparks.
"Hey, you annoying brats! How hateful. Hurry up and use whatever moves you have so I can finish you off and go back to sleep. I hate being woken up mid-nap the most!"
What terrifying strength... a casual strike has such power, Ling Xiao and the others thought.
But they weren't intimidated.
Following Yan's opening move, the other three launched their own strikes. Xie Yue's Moon Blades danced through the air like two silver-white blade wheels, slicing toward the Violent Panda.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena's silver-white Charming Fox body erupted with fire-attributed soul power. She unleashed Fox Flame Wedges, sending a sky-covering barrage of red diamond-shaped crystals flying forward.
However, whether it was Xie Yue's sharp Moon Blades or Hu Liena's compressed fire attacks, they were completely ineffective against the Violent Panda's body. Suddenly, a powerful wave of soul power radiated from the Violent Panda.
With a violent tremor of fierce energy, the Moon Blades were instantly sent flying backward, and the fiery diamond crystals shattered one after another. Even the resulting explosion of fire energy failed to leave a single scratch on the Violent Panda.
Ling Xiao channeled his Profound Sky Axe Martial Soul and unleashed a Profound Sky Slash. The massive, black-and-red crescent-shaped axe light looked imposing and formidable, yet under a casual punch from the Violent Panda, it shattered with a thunderous bang.
