The Gloating Crowd

Boom!

The Titled Douluo's full-force hammer blow directly shattered Zhu Zhuqing's Evil God Guardian. The remaining force made her cough up blood as she was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

Bang!

Zhu Zhuqing crashed heavily onto the ground, even smashing a huge crater into it.

Everyone in the Live Stream Room felt their hearts leap into their throats at the sight.

Was this the end?

The gap between a Soul Elder and a Titled Douluo was ultimately far too great. Even with an External Soul Bone, she could not make up for such a disparity.

That girl had already lost the ability to fight. She was probably doomed.

Damn Tang Hao! Despicable and shameless—he was simply the disgrace of all Titled Douluo!

Hadn't it been said that he would lose an arm and a leg in the end? Where were that girl's elders? Why hadn't they shown up yet?

If they did not appear soon, that girl would be killed.

Surely they would not only appear after the girl had been killed, right?

No way, right?

One comment after another flashed across the screen, and everyone in the Live Stream Room could not help worrying for the girl in the video.

In reality.

As the person involved, Zhu Zhuqing watched herself in the video get smashed to the ground, gravely wounded and unable to fight any longer. She could not help clenching her fists. Even in the future, would her fate end here?

She had not been killed by her sister, only to be killed in some ridiculous battle by a shameless Titled Douluo instead.

Heh, how ironic.

Zhu Zhuqing could not help laughing bitterly at herself, her heart inexplicably filled with desolation. Fate truly was unfair.

In the video.

Watching the black-clothed man approach step by step with the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, the severely injured Zhu Zhuqing struggled to her feet. Enduring the pain coursing through her body, she barely summoned her remaining Soul Power and revealed the cat claws on her hands.

Even knowing she would die, she would fight until the very last moment!

Her tenacity and refusal to give up deeply shook many people in the Live Stream Room!

Even Zhu Zhuqing in reality was stunned. She could not help asking herself, "Was I... really that strong? Was the person in that video truly me?"

If Ye Cheng had heard her muttering, he would certainly have told her: Don't doubt it. That is you! You are far stronger than you imagine!

Sometimes, one's environment could truly shape a person—or destroy them.

Back when she was in the perilous Star Luo Empire, her fiancé had run away, leaving Zhu Zhuqing to face the oppression of her sister and brother-in-law alone. Thus, she had no choice but to become strong! She gradually developed an independent, self-reliant, and unyielding personality. She had even dared to risk her life to leave the Star Luo Empire and set out in search of her fiancé.

But after finding Dai Mubai, although this fiancé had disappointed her greatly, Zhu Zhuqing had no choice. If she did not want to lose so miserably, she could only cooperate with him.

So she had no choice but to force herself to accept him.

Over time, under the subtle influence of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their teamwork, and, most importantly, the hope of victory Tang San gave her, Zhu Zhuqing gradually placed all her hopes on Dai Mubai. In the end, she lost herself and became merely his foil.

This showed just how enormous an impact one's environment could have on a person.

And the current Zhu Zhuqing had not yet been brainwashed. She was still that resilient young girl who had dared to cross two nations alone to find her fiancé!

Ye Cheng felt that if he did not find some way to save her, he would truly be wasting his status as a transmigrator.

In the video.

Tang Hao approached Zhu Zhuqing step by step with his massive hammer in hand. When he was only two or three steps away, he looked at the swaying girl and, out of appreciation for her talent, asked once again, "I'll give you one last chance! Serve my son as your master!"

Yet Zhu Zhuqing answered him only with her unyielding gaze!

"What a pity..."

Tang Hao shook his head regretfully, then raised his massive hammer. Just as it was about to fall and end the life of this talented young girl, he suddenly spun around and shouted toward a certain direction, "Who's there?!"

Tap, tap...

Measured footsteps sounded from the darkness.

But upon hearing those familiar footsteps, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes could not help reddening. Everyone in the Live Stream Room found this extremely strange. Even when she had been about to die, the girl had not shed a single tear. Yet now, merely hearing footsteps, she was so emotional. Had her earlier calmness merely been an act?

"Your Excellency is a dignified Titled Douluo, yet you are bullying a little girl who has not even reached Soul Ancestor. Isn't that beneath your status?" Along with a clear, bright voice, the figure gradually came into view. Judging by his build, he appeared to be a tall, slender young man dressed in white.

"And who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs!" Tang Hao gripped his massive hammer. The black cloth covering his head obscured his expression, but the chill and killing intent in his words were unmistakable!

"Heh, who am I?"

He gave a soft laugh, but even everyone in the Live Stream Room could feel the coldness in his words—the towering fury suppressed within his voice!

"Who do you think I am?"

Tang Hao abruptly turned around. The White-clothed Man, who had been standing in the distance just moments ago, had somehow appeared behind him. His hairs stood on end, and he instinctively retreated more than ten steps to open the distance.

"Does it hurt?"

The White-clothed Man now stood before Zhu Zhuqing, asking softly.

"...Teacher~"

Facing the White-clothed Man, Zhu Zhuqing had none of her earlier icy resilience left. Her eyes were red as she lightly bit her crimson lips, looking incomparably aggrieved. Like a child who had been wronged and had finally waited for a parent to uphold justice.

"Sorry, your teacher came too late."

"Bear with the pain. I'll treat you right away."

As he spoke, the White-clothed Man raised his left hand. Amid brilliant, rainbow-colored radiance, a Nine-Layered Glazed Treasure Pagoda appeared. Rings of scarlet light encircled it.

The moment that iconic martial soul appeared, the entire Live Stream Room erupted.

Th-that martial soul, those soul rings...

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda! A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

He was... Ye Cheng, the Limit Douluo with Twin Martial Souls!

My god! Zhu Zhuqing was actually his disciple?!

No wonder, no wonder! If there was anyone in this world capable of cutting off a Titled Douluo's arm and leg, it could only be this Limit Douluo!

Tang Hao had really kicked an iron plate this time!

Hahahaha, serves him right!

Every barrage comment was filled with gloating.

In reality, Tang Hao's expression completely changed when he saw who had arrived in the video. He finally understood how he had lost that arm and leg.

If he had been facing this man, he would have been lucky just to keep his life.

At the same time, he was somewhat jealous of Zhu Zhuqing's good fortune. She had actually managed to take a Limit Douluo as her teacher. If his son, who also possessed Twin Martial Souls, could become this man's disciple, then the backlash problem that had plagued Twin Martial Souls for so long would probably no longer be a problem.

After all, this man had already cultivated Twin Martial Souls to perfection and reached the pinnacle of soul masters!
