Dugu Yan Beat Ma Hongjun Senseless

When Lin Chen found Dugu Yan, Qin Ming was leading his team in reviewing the situation in the rest area.

Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu were standing to the side. When they saw Lin Chen walk over, Xiao Wu waved excitedly and said, "Lin Chen! Sister Yan was amazing today! She crushed both matches!"

"Yes, I saw her." Lin Chen nodded with a smile, glanced around, and, noticing Ye Lingling wasn't there, asked in confusion, "Where's Lingling? Didn't she come with you?"

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "She doesn't have a match today, so I'm letting her go back to the inn to rest."

Lin Chen nodded, not thinking much of it. He led Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu out of the Soul Fighting Arena and walked along the street towards the inn.

The Suotuo City is bustling in the evening, with shops lining the streets lit up and vendors calling out their wares.

Lin Chen stopped shortly after leaving the Soul Fighting Arena.

At a street corner not far away, Ye Lingling was standing there carrying a lot of things, with a chubby little boy in Red Clothes blocking her way.

The chubby boy looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face and red hair. He was blocking Ye Lingling's way, talking to her with a self-satisfied smile on his face.

"Young lady, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I just want to get to know you."

Ma Hongjun grinned and stood in front of Ye Lingling, rubbing his greasy belly as he said in a lewd tone, "My name is Ma Hongjun, and I am a noble Lord Soul Master. How about it, are you interested in becoming friends with your brother?"

Ye Lingling frowned slightly, ignored Ma Hongjun, and took a step to the left, intending to go around him.

Ma Hongjun, shameless as ever, took a step to the left and blocked Ye Lingling's path once again.

Ye Lingling's expression grew increasingly cold, but because she was carrying things, she couldn't free her hands and could only say coldly, "Could you please move aside? I have urgent business to attend to."

"Don't be so cold," Ma Hongjun said with a grin, taking a step closer. "I just want to get to know you, I'm not going to eat you."

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned and quickly led Dugu Yan and the other person over.

Lin Chen walked up to Ye Lingling and said in a calm tone, "Who are you, harassing others in broad daylight?"

Ma Hongjun sized Lin Chen up and down, his smile fading. He was having a good time flirting with the girl when suddenly a boy more handsome than himself appeared to save the day, which naturally annoyed him.

"I should be asking you who you are!" Ma Hongjun retorted, annoyed. "I'm talking to this young lady, what's it to you?"

Lin Chen was bothered by Ma Hongjun's attitude and said coldly, "You don't need to know who I am. What I want to know now is which academy you, with no manners, belong to, so I can avoid you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's temper flared up, and two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, releasing the aura of a level 28 Soul Grandmaster.

He puffed out his chest, tilted his chin up, and looked at Lin Chen with an air of pride, saying, "I'm from the Shrek Academy, a level 28 Soul Grandmaster! Who do you think you are?"

Lin Chen glanced at his two Yellow Soul Rings, then at his arrogant demeanor, shook his head with a smile, and said somewhat sarcastically, "Level 28, that's quite impressive."

Ma Hongjun didn't understand the implication and thought Lin Chen had chickened out. His smugness grew even stronger. "Good that you know what's what. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"

Lin Chen ignored Ma Hongjun, but instead pulled Ye Lingling over and behind him.

Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, and almost dropped what she was carrying, but she did not refuse Lin Chen's actions. Instead, she quietly snuggled closer to Lin Chen's back.

Upon seeing this, Ma Hongjun's expression immediately changed, and he said with a face full of jealousy, "I thought you were some kind of upright gentleman, but it turns out you're just here to pick up girls too."

He glanced at the three girls beside Lin Chen, a faint smile appearing on his face, "Wow, three beauties around you, you sure know how to enjoy yourself."

"But let me tell you, don't be too greedy. Having two women around is enough. Don't try to take this one from me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu could no longer hold back.

In order not to cause trouble for Lin Chen, she had been suppressing her urge to beat up Ma Hongjun ever since she left the Soul Fighting Arena, and thus refrained from doing so.

But who would have thought that this lewd man not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but also went even further!

Xiao Wu took a step forward and shouted angrily, "You fatso, can't you watch your mouth? You're disgusting to your Sister Xiao Wu!"

When Ma Hongjun saw Xiao Wu step forward, he not only didn't restrain himself at all, but became even more excited.

He sized Xiao Wu up and down, his gaze lingering on her long, slender legs, and a lewd grin spread across his Xiao Wu: "Oh, this little sister has quite a temper."

"To put it bluntly, what are you three doing following a kid who hasn't even grown up yet? Why not follow your brother Ma? I guarantee I can give you ecstasy..."

Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, Xiao Wu could no longer bear it. She instantly transformed into the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit and was about to make a move when Dugu Yan beside her launched an attack first.

In an instant, the Jade Mountain Poison Dragon Martial Soul possessed him, dark green dragon scales covered his arms, and yellow and purple-black hues appeared beneath his feet. Four Soul Rings rose up, and the aura of a level 48 Soul Ancestor was fully released, pressing down on Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun's smile froze instantly. He hadn't expected that the young girl opposite him was actually a Soul Ancestor. A sudden urge to run away arose in his heart.

But Dugu Yan didn't give him time to react. She threw a punch, her fist wrapped in dark green Soul Power, which instantly slammed into Ma Hongjun's chest.

"Bang!"

Ma Hongjun was sent flying backward by the punch, rolling seven or eight times on the ground before coming to a stop.

At that moment, Xiao Wu leaped out, kicking Ma Hongjun's fat belly with both legs, slamming him against the wall like a football.

"You... you dare hit me!" Ma Hongjun scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and pointed at Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu, cursing, "You two filthy women! You're a bunch of bitches—"

Before he could finish speaking, three presences suddenly came from behind him.

"Who dares to touch my brother!"

Dai Mubai took a step forward, and the phantom of the White Tiger appeared behind him, releasing the aura of a level 37 Soul Elder.

Tang San and Oscar also walked quickly out from the street corner at that moment.

"Boss Dai, you've finally arrived!" Ma Hongjun grabbed Huabin's leg, pointing at Lin Chen and the other three with a face full of grief and indignation, "They're the ones who bullied me!"

Tang San remained silent, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen and Xiao Wu.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that the two faces looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Lin Chen released Ye Lingling's shoulder, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said to Dai Mubai and the other two, "Your brother was being a jerk, harassing my people, so what's wrong with us beating him up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen's Soul Power condensed, and a massive Soul Power pressure emanated from him, under the incredulous gazes of Dai Mubai and the others.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, red—six Soul Rings rose forth, and the unique pressure of the Soul Emperor instantly overflowed, enveloping the entire street!
