29 Chapter 29: I Suggest a Fight

...

"Shut up, all of you!"

The person named Uncle Zong shouted sternly.

The few people who were arguing were immediately silenced by the sudden shout and became quiet.

It seems that this Uncle Zong has a high position among them!

Zeng Yi thought to himself upon seeing this scene.

"Uncle Zong, why don't you speak up and tell us what you think?" Ali asked Uncle Zong, showing her willingness to help this young boy.

"Well..." Uncle Zong pondered for a moment and looked at Zeng Yi.

"You can join our team, but we are not leaving Sunset Forest yet, so you will have to stay and act with us. Is that okay?" Uncle Zong said to Zeng Yi.

"But what if he drags us down?" When the skinny monkey heard Uncle Zong's words, he quickly tried to convince him. However, he was interrupted by Uncle Zong raising his hand.

"I will handle it." Uncle Zong said faintly to the skinny monkey, then looked back at Zeng Yi.

Since this young man entered his sight, he had been observing his demeanor. Facing a group of strangers without any signs of nervousness and maintaining a calm and composed state, it indicated that this young man was not afraid of them and had great confidence in his own abilities.

In Sunset Forest, the danger comes not only from soul beasts but also from people. Being able to face a group of strangers like this without a hint of nervousness shows that this young man has considerable strength. Joining their team would greatly enhance the team's overall strength. Moreover, he didn't seem like a deceitful person. His eyes were clear, and he faced them with an unyielding attitude. There should be no signs of him trying to harm them. Uncle Zong has always been good at reading people, so he trusted his instincts.

"What do you think?" Uncle Zong asked.

"What? You agreed? Thank you so much!" Zeng Yi was delighted and thanked him.

"Haha, brother, welcome to our team! Hahaha~" With Uncle Zong's agreement, Xiong Da warmly welcomed Zeng Yi and regarded him as a brother. He had a straightforward character and immediately started building camaraderie.

The others also welcomed Zeng Yi, including the skinny monkey who had been opposing him. This surprised Zeng Yi. It seems he is a good person! Just a bit cautious. However, in this team, Uncle Zong is the dominant figure, and the others are simple-minded. His character can complement the team well.

"By the way, let's introduce ourselves to each other! Get to know one another, so we can cooperate better when encountering soul beasts." The only woman in the team, Ali, suggested.

"I agree, that's a good idea!" The skinny monkey also supported this proposal and nodded.

The others also agreed.

"Then, I'll start. I'm Kali, my martial soul is the Green Jade Lantern, a level 26 auxiliary-type soul master. And you, little brother?" After introducing herself, Kali excitedly asked Zeng Yi. Her eyes were big, and she stared straight at this handsome guy.

"Hmph, women…"

Seeing Kali's actions, the skinny monkey grumbled unhappily.

Zeng Yi was taken aback when this Kali suddenly approached him. Are the women in this Douluo Continent all so forward?

Kali was indeed good-looking. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with a tall and slender figure. She had shoulder-length black, smooth hair, and was dressed in a tight white leather outfit. Her obvious wheat-colored skin was covered with a brown cloak, giving her a sexy and wild appearance.

Zeng Yi smelled a mysterious fragrance, which made his face blush, so he quickly stepped back a bit.

Mom, this bad woman is teasing me, so mean! I'm so scared!

"Hehe~ Little brother, are you blushing?" Seeing Zeng Yi's embarrassed state, Kali covered her mouth and chuckled playfully.

"Alright, stop teasing him." The skinny monkey couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Kali. This woman always had such a mischievous taste.

"I got it." Kali responded uninterestedly.

"Little brother, it's your turn to introduce yourself." Kali urged Zeng Yi.

"Uh..."

What's the matter with this little brother? Do I have no face? If it wasn't because she's a woman, I would have punched her.

Zeng Yi gritted his teeth at the nickname, but since he needed their help, he had to endure it.

"Cough cough, I'm not called little brother. My name is Zeng Yi, and my martial soul is the Ronin Sword." Zeng Yi coughed a few times and said to them, patting the wave blade hanging from his waist.

"As for soul power, I'm a level 33 Soul Elder."

"Level 33?"

"Soul Elder?"

Zeng Yi's words shocked everyone. From their perspective, they thought he was just a high-level Soul Master in his twenties at most, but they didn't expect him to be a Soul Elder. This was truly astonishing since he looked about twenty years old.

"Yes! What's wrong?" Zeng Yi was a bit puzzled by their reaction. Wasn't he just a Soul Elder? Was it really that surprising? Weren't there Soul Elders among them too?

"Um, little brother, how old are you?" Kali asked Zeng Yi.

"Me? I'm 18 years old. Why?" Zeng Yi replied, though he was actually only a little over 14 years old. But he always considered himself 18 years old.

"You're 18 and already a Soul Elder? That's incredible." Xiong Da, with his deep voice, said to Zeng Yi.

What? Why are they so surprised? Compared to those main characters, I still have a long way to go!

"You must be a talented disciple of some prestigious sect, right? Here for training?" The skinny monkey questioned with suspicion.

"What? No way! If I were from one of those rich sects, I would wake up from my dreams laughing."

"If that's the case, brother, your talent is truly amazing!" The skinny monkey exclaimed with envy.

"It's okay. Besides, aren't you also Soul Elders?" Zeng Yi casually said.

"I'm 36 years old and only level 35," the skinny monkey said.

"28 years Old, not even 30 yet," Kali added.

"32 years Old, Level 30..." replied Xiong Da.

"Possibly 31 years old, Level 30..." said someone who resembled Xiong Er.

"Level 42, 56 years old..." Uncle Zong quietly said.

Others also introduced themselves, allowing Zeng Yi to understand their situations. First, the two burly men were indeed brothers, and their martial souls were both beast martial souls. Both level 30 soul power, specializing in assault combat soul masters. They came to Sunset Forest to obtain soul rings for both of them. The big brother was Xiong Zhong, and the little brother was Xiong Yi, also known as Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

The skinny monkey's nickname was Zhang Hou. His martial soul was the Spirit Monkey, a level 35 agile assault combat soul master. The oldest among them was Uncle Zong, Zhao Li Zong, with a Black Armor Bull as his martial soul. He was a level 42 assault combat soul master.

"Oh right, it seems like you guys were arguing earlier. What happened?" Zeng Yi asked, although he already had a rough idea, he still brought up the topic to improve their relationship.

"Oh right, we haven't resolved our issue yet!" Xiong Da suddenly remembered when reminded by Zeng Yi.

"I won't let you have this soul ring, Second Brother!"

"Don't think that being the eldest can make me give up. Don't forget I also participated in the fight against this soul beast." Xiong Er refused to back down and responded.

And so, the two of them began arguing again, causing the others to sigh helplessly.

This was a thousand-year-old bear soul beast, fitting for the two of them, but there were two of them and only one soul ring. Neither of them wanted to give in.

It was rare to find such a suitable soul beast on the outer perimeter of Sunset Forest, and if they let it go, they wouldn't be able to find another one. They also wanted such a soul ring, but it would be even more dangerous if they had to go to the outer perimeter of Sunset Forest. They might encounter ten-thousand-year soul beasts, so neither of them wanted to yield the soul ring to the other.

"Since it's like this, let Zeng Yi think of a solution." When it seemed like there was no way out, Xiong Da proposed this.

"Alright!" Xiong Er, also a straightforward person, agreed to this plan.

"Then, Zeng Yi, brother, you come up with something." Xiong Da and Xiong Er turned to Zeng Yi for advice.

This caught Zeng Yi off guard. How did it end up with me?

"Uh..."

Zeng Yi lowered his head and contemplated for a moment.

"What if..."

"I suggest we settle it with a fight?"
