Chapter 68. Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre! Ma Hongjun is courting death!
Not far away.
Tang Chuan stood at the edge of the Soul Battle Arena, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if he were pondering something.
Witnessing Xiao Ruier break Yu Tianheng's arm with a single punch, even with his composure, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a hint of undisguised surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Has this guy's power... really reached this terrifying level?"
"If that punch had landed on any of the Shrek Academy students, aside from Tang San using his Clear Sky Hammer, probably no one could have withstood it, right?"
"Golden Dragon... Although it is only a martial soul that she simulated by borrowing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, its essence seems to be no different from the real Golden Dragon martial soul."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is inherently suppressed by the Golden Dragon at the bloodline level. Even if Yu Tianheng's soul power is currently higher than hers, he is probably no match for her, let alone now..."
…………
At the same time, just as Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw was unleashed and before it even got close, a deep, muffled sound suddenly rang out in the arena.
Xiao Ruier suddenly stomped her foot, and the entire Soul Arena seemed to tremble.
The next second, four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, rose rapidly from beneath her feet.
As the spirit ring appeared, an extremely dazzling golden light condensed behind her, instantly forming a majestic golden dragon shadow.
The golden dragon raised its head and roared, its eyes cold and its claws outstretched, exuding the might of a divine beast from ancient times, carrying an irresistible sense of blood pressure as it looked down from the void.
The instant the golden dragon phantom appeared, Yu Tianheng felt a sudden tightness in his mind, as if his entire body was being suppressed by some inexplicable force.
It was a powerful pressure originating from one's bloodline.
Even though he was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Even though he had already completed the Martial Soul Possession and his Soul Power was surging.
But at this moment, an almost instinctive tremor and submission arose within him!
Yu Tianheng froze on the spot, and even the lightning dragon claw he had just unleashed stopped, unable to move!
"How is that possible?!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened in shock, and he spoke in a trembling voice.
He simply couldn't understand how his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul could be suppressed to the point that he couldn't even fight!
Although he had heard legends about the Golden Dragon Martial Soul before, Yu Tianheng had never actually encountered one. Today, having met one, he clearly understood that his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was utterly insignificant compared to the Golden Dragon!
Xiao Ruier did not give Yu Tianheng any chance to catch his breath.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she moved swiftly, took a step, and amidst a flash of golden light, arrived before Yu Tianheng.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ruier kicked Yu Tianheng in the chest without any mercy!
Yu Tianheng was struck as if by a real dragon. He was thrown off the ground and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the other end of the Soul Arena, kicking up a cloud of dust and gravel, where he remained motionless for a long time.
silence.
The scene was deathly silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, whispering amongst themselves.
"Xiao Ruier's power is incredible!"
"Only two rounds? The captain lost like that?"
"Holy crap, that's so savage, she's practically a savage woman."
Seeing that the outcome was decided and Yu Tianheng's fate was rather tragic, Dugu Yan's expression changed slightly. She hurriedly rushed forward, helped Yu Tianheng up from the ground, and said with great concern.
"Tianheng, are you alright?"
"I...I'm fine, I lost..."
Looking at the scene before her, Ye Lingling did not hesitate at all.
She immediately released the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and the third soul ring on her body lit up. The pink halo brushed over Yu Tianheng's body like a spring breeze. His originally broken arm slowly healed in just a few breaths, the bones returned to their place, and the skin was restored to its original state.
The next second, Dugu Yan suddenly stood up, her face icy, and strode to Xiao Ruier, her tone filled with obvious dissatisfaction and anger:
"This was just a friendly spar, why did you hit so hard?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was sharp and incisive, almost making the surrounding air freeze.
"I haven't even exerted much effort yet."
However, when questioned, Xiao Ruier merely raised an eyebrow, glanced at her with disdain, and spoke in a cold yet arrogant voice.
These words were like oil poured on a raging fire, instantly igniting the fury in Dugu Yan's heart.
Her face darkened, and she took a sudden step forward, about to make a move, when a tall figure blocked her way.
"Yanzi, what do you want to do?"
Qin Ming's voice turned stern as he reached out and blocked Dugu Yan's path, shouting sharply.
"Injuries during competitions are common, and besides, we still have Lingling, right? Tianheng's hand has already recovered, hasn't it? What you're doing will only cause conflict within the team."
Although Qin Ming's tone was not stern, it carried an air of authority that left no room for argument.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan was still unwilling, but she forcibly suppressed her anger, glared at Xiao Ruier, and retreated back into the group.
Seeing this, Qin Ming nodded slightly, turned to look at Xiao Ruier, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Xiao Ruier, I can see your strength; you are indeed very strong. Judging from this match, you are fully capable of replacing Tianheng and becoming the team's new mainstay."
As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Chuan standing in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"With Tang Chuan added, our team now has two more top-tier fighters. As long as you cooperate with each other, we'll definitely shine in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and winning the championship is even highly possible!"
I heard that I might win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all showed expressions of agreement.
After all, no one present didn't want to win the championship and make a name for themselves and their families. Even if they were substitutes and didn't play, they were still champions!
Oslo stroked his chin and muttered, "This Xiao Ruier is simply a monster. I felt so much pain for God for that kick..."
"Her martial spirit is very special, representing the pinnacle of power. It's truly rare for our Royal Fighting Team to have such a teammate," Ye Lingling nodded gently.
Yu Tianheng's expression was still somewhat unpleasant.
But all they could do was nod silently, for the facts were undeniable, and a loss was a loss.
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually easing, Qin Ming waved his hand and said seriously:
"Alright, everyone, pack up quickly. We're about to leave Heaven Dou City and head to other cities to continue participating in Team Battle Soul. Let's not delay our progress."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"etc."
However, at this moment, Dugu Yan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at her.
Dugu Yan stepped forward and said in a clear, cold voice, "Teacher Qin, my soul power has broken through level forty. Now, I need to obtain my fourth soul ring."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward and excitedly asked, "Yanzi, what did you say? You've broken through?"
"Yes, I broke through yesterday." Dugu Yan nodded slightly.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming said, "Alright, since Yanzi has already broken through to level 40, let's postpone the matter of going to other cities to participate in team battles for the Soul Ring. The most important thing right now is to help her obtain her fourth Soul Ring. This is related to her future strength improvement and cannot be delayed."
Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, every breakthrough for a Soul Master is an extremely important moment that cannot be taken lightly.
"Teacher Qin, I have a request." Tang Chuan, who had been standing at the edge of the line, suddenly spoke up. His voice was not loud, but it drew everyone's attention.
Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Speak. What is it?"
Tang Chuan said calmly, "Since you're going to hunt soul beasts for Yanzi to obtain soul rings first, may I set off ahead of time and follow the established route to the Soul Fighting City that we originally planned to visit? I've been getting a bit bored in Heaven Dou City lately and would like to go there and have a look around beforehand."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Qin Ming pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly.
He certainly knew Tang Chuan's strength. If someone else made a similar request, he would definitely refuse decisively. But Tang Chuan... was a guy that even he couldn't see through.
In the end, Qin Ming nodded: "Okay. You've always been prudent in your actions. As long as you don't get into conflicts with others without authorization and pay attention to safety, it's up to you."
"Understood." Tang Chuan nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
His reason for wanting to leave early was simply to get to Soto City sooner.
However, shortly after Tang Chuan finished speaking, Xiao Ruier suddenly stepped forward, came to his side, and said quite firmly, "I want to be with you, is that okay?"
At this moment, the atmosphere subtly fell silent.
Tang Chuan glanced at Xiao Ruier with slight surprise, seemingly not expecting her to suggest traveling together.
Qin Ming was taken aback, and then his eyes suddenly turned strange.
As someone who had been through it all, he naturally noticed the subtle emotional shift between the two.
He didn't spell it out, nor did he hesitate for too long. Instead, he gave a rather amused smile and readily said, "Alright. You two are both quite strong, so I'm at ease knowing you can look after each other along the way. Just remember to keep in touch and don't miss the meeting time."
Seeing that Tang Chuan was going to leave early with Xiao Ruier, a hint of struggle flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. In the end, she bit her red lips and stepped forward, saying:
"Teacher Qin, may I leave with them a little earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming frowned. He did not respond immediately, but looked at Ye Lingling with a slightly puzzled expression, as if he was thinking.
"no."
After a brief silence, Qin Ming's tone turned serious, and he spoke without any mercy.
Why?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Qin Ming's tone was cold and unyielding as he explained, "You are the only healing-type Soul Master in our team. If you also leave the team, who will treat Yanzi and the others if they encounter an accident during their Soul Hunting mission? If you leave, it means everyone will be at risk. In the entire Royal Fighting Team, besides you and Tang Chuan, there is no third person with healing abilities."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my face, each one piercing my heart.
This left Ye Lingling somewhat at a loss.
"I understand." Ye Lingling nodded gently, her voice barely audible.
At this moment, her figure appeared exceptionally quiet and lonely.
…………
One month later, at dusk, the city of Soto was bathed in the slanting rays of the setting sun, and the lights in the streets and alleys began to twinkle.
The Shrek Academy dormitory area was far from peaceful; anger and arguments echoed in the air.
"You're disgusting, Dai Mubai!"
Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at the blond youth before her, and said angrily, "You think I don't know? You sneaked out last night and went to a place like that... You've wasted your time in such a filthy place, and in the end, you'll be exiled by your ambitious brother!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes darkened, his fists clenched involuntarily, and he laughed angrily, saying sarcastically, "I'm exiled? You think you're any better off? Zhu Zhuqing, don't take yourself too seriously. We're in the same boat!"
"To be associated with someone like you is the worst luck I've ever had." Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure and said slowly.
After saying that, she turned and left without any hesitation.
"Stop right there!" Dai Mubai roared.
Zhu Zhu ignored the cleaning and did not stop walking.
Instead, it accelerated the pace of progress.
"you…"
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his right hand, a strong white light emanating from his palm, but he managed to restrain himself. The white light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and he let out a roar like a tiger.
"Oh shit!"
"What's wrong with a man having multiple wives and concubines if I visit a brothel?"
He muttered a curse under his breath.
The next second, Dai Mubai slammed his fist against the wall, making a dull thud.
Then, he scanned his surroundings with a gloomy look and soon spotted Ma Hongjun sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Fatty!" Dai Mubai strode forward, his tone laced with malice, and said, "Let's go, tonight we're going out to find some girls and let loose completely! Don't come back to the academy!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up immediately. He forgot about eating the chicken leg, licked his lips, and grinned slyly:
"Oh ho, what's wrong? Did you fight with your little ice queen again? What did she say to you this time?"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go. I'm not leaving until I'm drunk tonight, let's see who can stop me!"
"Alright, Boss Dai, you pay the bill. I'll take you to a new, nice place!" Ma Hongjun grinned greasyly, his eyes gleaming with excitement and ill intent.
Half an hour later, night quietly fell.
As dusk settles in Soto, the streets are bustling with people, filled with the sounds of shouts from restaurants and gambling dens.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun walked side by side, both dressed in casual clothes, blending into the crowd.
They had just stepped through the city gates.
Ma Hongjun looked impatient, his neck darting left and right as if it were spring-loaded, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over the women on both sides of the street, his face full of lewdness.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he froze as if struck by lightning. He then nudged Dai Mubai with his elbow and whispered excitedly:
"Boss Dai! Look up there, that girl, wow, she's got a real amazing figure... blonde hair, long legs, and such a tiny waist, damn, maybe my luck won't be this good tonight?"
Looking in the direction he was pointing, we saw a blonde girl, about ten years old, strolling down the street not far ahead. She was wearing a light gold bodysuit that accentuated her graceful figure.
Her charm was evident as she walked, seemingly oblivious to the stares around her, yet she still managed to draw the attention of the men around her, who were completely captivated.
Beside him was a boy in blue wearing a straw hat.
"Boss, how about we go over and strike up a conversation? Maybe we can even..." Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming with a sly light.
Dai Mubai, who was already seething with anger, didn't even flinch when he heard this, and coldly said, "If you like it, then go for it. Stop dawdling."
Ma Hongjun shrank his neck and muttered under his breath:
"She has someone with her, but... what if she offends someone she shouldn't? This blonde girl doesn't look simple; what if she's from a noble family..."
"Hmph." Dai Mubai sneered disdainfully, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with pride and malice. He said, "Have you forgotten our Shrek Academy's motto? Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I hate your cowardly behavior the most. In the entire Soto City, who dares to disrespect our Dean Flander? He's a dignified seven-ring Soul Saint; even his farts can scare a bunch of people out of their wits."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was startled and immediately became energized. He rubbed his hands together and licked his lips: "Hehe, well said! Boss Dai, then I'll go first."
