Zhu Zhuqing's Crisis

"Something's wrong! Zhu Zhuqing is in the Duel Arena, and her older sister, Zhu Zhuyue, is about to beat her to death!"

The Male Student looked anxious. He was Feng Wutong's classmate and also knew Zhu Zhuqing, so he had come specifically to notify her.

But Dai Yao, Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, was nothing more than a useless coward in his eyes. There was no point telling him, so the Male Student could not even be bothered to speak with Dai Yao.

"Where are they?"

When he heard the news, Dai Yao froze. Then his expression turned cold, and he urgently asked the Male Student, "Where are they now?"

Three years had passed, yet his hatred for the Second Prince had not diminished in the slightest, even though he had not taken a single step out of this Cultivation Ground in all that time.

"What use would telling you be?" the Male Student asked contemptuously as he looked at Dai Yao.

Dai Yao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. A blazing hatred for Dai Yaming and the others erupted in his chest.

For three years, he had endured countless humiliations. Even when his own mother was insulted, he had been forced to swallow his anger.

But today, with Zhu Zhuqing in danger, he could endure no longer.

If he still talked about patience when his fiancée was in danger, he would truly become a coward who hid his head in the sand.

He knew that, in the eyes of these students, he was a weak and cowardly man.

Too lazy to explain, he directly released his Level 20 Soul Power and said coldly, "Speak! Which arena are they in?"

An incomparably powerful aura burst from Dai Yao's body. Feng Wutong was fine, but the Male Student's breathing became labored.

"What powerful Soul Power! Is this really that coward from the rumors?" Shocked as he stared at Dai Yao, who had released such powerful Soul Power, he answered in a daze, "The Academy First Arena."

After learning the location, Dai Yao instantly activated Martial Soul Possession and used Explosive Step. He leaped into the air like a white bolt of lightning, gliding toward the Academy with the aid of his wings.

The Male Student stared blankly at Dai Yao as he flew away. Dai Yao's performance had completely overturned his impression of him. Unable to resist, he asked Feng Wutong, "Is he really the coward from the rumors? I just sensed an indescribable fear from his Martial Soul."

Feng Wutong smiled lightly. "He isn't a coward. Compared with having a bad reputation, he has more important things to do."

.........

Star Luo Royal Academy.

The arena.

At that moment, the arena was packed with noise and excitement.

Countless students sat in the stands watching the match. There were Commoner Soul Masters as well as Noble Soul Masters. Everyone occasionally revealed an infatuated expression toward the two people fighting on the stage.

That was because the two girls in the arena were simply too beautiful.

The two girls differed in size.

One was as passionate as fire, while the other was as cold as ice.

The first girl was older. She had a fiery figure and a pair of Peach Blossom Eyes that could seduce the soul.

Her clothes clung tightly to her skin as well. Her black, form-fitting outfit outlined an astonishing figure, with alluring curves that made people's imaginations run wild.

Her provocative gestures frequently stirred up a chorus of wolf whistles from below the stage.

She was Zhu Zhuyue.

The other Woman was younger.

Although she was still young, the outline of her fiery figure was already apparent. In the future, she would certainly become a peerlessly beautiful woman.

Yet her face was expressionless, and an icy aura radiated from her entire body.

This ice-beauty also had quite a few supporters in the Academy. She was Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuyue's fiancé was famous far and wide, while Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé was notorious. Even so, Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for her fiancé remained unwavering, causing countless people who admired her to beat their chests in frustration.

Zhu Zhuyue flashed a seductive smile, her Peach Blossom Eyes glistening with charm. "My dear younger sister, it really isn't easy to see you. I never expected that, after three years, you would give me such a huge surprise."

Not long before, Zhu Zhuqing had broken through to Level 20 and was preparing to return to the family to obtain her Second Spirit Ring. She had therefore notified the Academy to prepare a carriage, but somehow, the news was leaked during the process.

The news that Zhu Zhuqing had broken through to Level 20 shocked her tremendously. One had to know that she was only Level 27 herself. Zhu Zhuqing was three or four years younger than her, and once she obtained her Spirit Ring, she would also become a Soul Grandmaster.

Zhu Zhuqing's talent made her jealous. Why was Heaven so unfair? Why had such excellent talent been given to Zhu Zhuqing instead of her?

If she had been given that talent, perhaps she could have helped her Dai Yaming win the struggle between the Second Prince and the First Prince.

Then she could have repaid all the humiliation Zhu Zhuyun had inflicted on her over the years.

Two yellow Spirit Rings revolved around Zhu Zhuyue. She moved with an alluring stride and lit up her First Spirit Ring. The charm vanished from her Peach Blossom Eyes, replaced by a vicious, ruthless gleam.

"First Spirit Skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws."

She transformed into a purple shadow and shot rapidly toward Zhu Zhuqing.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing was at the End of One's Strength.

The two of them had already been fighting for a long time. Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power was considerably lower than Zhu Zhuyue's to begin with, and she had not yet obtained her Second Spirit Ring. She was simply no match for Zhu Zhuyue.

She had suffered numerous injuries. Gritting her teeth, she supported her dislocated right arm. Determination shone in her beautiful eyes as she forcibly activated her First Spirit Skill and charged toward Zhu Zhuyue with only one hand.

As everyone expected, Zhu Zhuqing was sent flying. She crashed heavily onto the ground and spat blood without end.

She was like a rose shattered to pieces, possessing a kind of broken beauty. Countless people below the stage felt their hearts shatter at the sight.

Zhu Zhuyue wore a pleased smile as she slowly walked toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing endured the pain and arduously dragged herself backward inch by inch. The previous attack had inflicted tremendous damage on her body. A wound deep enough to reveal bone had appeared on her arm, but under the suppression of her Soul Power, the pain was not as severe.

"My dear younger sister, what a pity. If that cowardly fiancé of yours still doesn't come, then perhaps this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Zhu Zhuyue laughed maniacally as she looked at the suffering Zhu Zhuqing. It was as if she were seeing her former self, pained and helpless beneath Zhu Zhuyun's attacks.

She waited for a while, then said regretfully, "It seems your fiancé isn't coming back. What a coward who hides his head in the sand!"

Seeing this scene, the students watching also grew furious.

"A beautiful flower stuck in a pile of cow dung. The Fourth Prince has no sense of responsibility at all. His fiancée has been beaten like this, yet he still refuses to come out!"

"Exactly! He's disgracing all of us men!"

"It's understandable that the Fourth Prince didn't come. After all, against a Soul Grandmaster, he has no chance of winning at all."

Everyone turned to look at the man who had said this, their faces full of disdain. "This man is just like the Fourth Prince. He's another coward who hides his head in the sand."

The Older Sister lectured the Junior based on her experience. "Juniors, keep your eyes open. You must be careful around this kind of man. Even if his Martial Soul is poor, even if his level is low, he must at least have a sense of responsibility!"

The fat man said helplessly, "Imperial Concubine, that brat isn't coming. I cursed him at his Cultivation Ground for two years. Once he learned that I was a Soul Grandmaster, he neither talked back nor fought back."

"Your Soul Power Level is even higher than mine. How could he possibly come?"

Zhu Zhuyue looked at Zhu Zhuqing and smiled as if everything had gone exactly as expected. "It seems your taste in men isn't very good, little sister. Since that's the case, say your farewell to this world. In your next life, don't be reborn into the Zhu Family!"

All the buildup is over. The next chapter will be a little later.
