Luo Chen vs. Tang Hao, Taking Ning Rongrong to Meet Sister Dong'er

" What, I've been discovered?"

Luo Chen's expression changed drastically. His blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan immediately began to spin, and a blood-red Peach Blossom Fan appeared in his hand. He retreated to the seventh-floor window.

It was spiritual power. Luo Chen knew Tang Hao had not actually seen him; he had merely sensed him with his spiritual power.

The Pupil Power released by the Mangekyo Sharingan could be detected by spiritual power. Luo Chen had already confirmed this with Bibi Dong before. The essence of illusion techniques was spiritual control, so illusion techniques were useless against those with exceptionally powerful spiritual strength.

Luo Chen immediately withdrew the Pupil Power of his Mangekyo Sharingan, yet he could clearly sense Tang Hao getting closer and closer to the door. He stood before the window, but did not rush to flee.

As an Ultimate Hunter, Luo Chen's calmness and focus in the face of danger were far beyond ordinary people. He knew that if Tang Hao truly intended to kill him, he would not choose this time. Grandmaster and Flander had not gone to bed yet. Would midnight not be a better time?

Luo Chen believed he had not exposed anything in front of Tang Hao before. Tang Hao's spiritual detection range was nowhere near comparable to his Mangekyo Sharingan. Perhaps Tang Hao merely wanted to test him...

When he sensed Tang Hao's footsteps stop outside his door, Luo Chen became even more certain of his guess.

Luo Chen gripped the Peach Blossom Fan and watched the door with a serious expression, though he was not particularly nervous inside. He could not possibly defeat Tang Hao, but it was basically impossible for Tang Hao to kill him instantly. Unless Tang Hao summoned his Avatar of the Weapon Soul from the start, Luo Chen would naturally have a way to escape during that process.

It would not be easy for Tang Hao to restrain Luo Chen with Soul Power either. The reason Luo Chen had not resisted after being restrained by Bibi Dong before was because he wanted Bibi Dong to toy with him. If he truly wanted to break free, he only needed to open the Eight Gates Formation to the Sixth Gate, or use part of Susanoo's power, to instantly break the Soul Power restraint. Then he could flee with the Body Flicker Technique.

Sure enough, the room door opened by itself the next second.

Luo Chen looked at Tang Hao, who stood in the doorway wrapped in a Black Cloak with an unkempt beard, and asked seriously, "Senior, who are you?"

Tang Hao raised those weathered yet domineering eyes and stared coldly at Luo Chen. In a deep voice, he said, "You don't know me, but I know you. Back at Notting City Junior Academy, you were already by Xiao San's side. I always thought Xiao San was special enough, yet I never expected you to be even more special than him..."

As he spoke, a powerful killing intent suddenly erupted from Tang Hao the next second. The killing intent instantly condensed into red Blood Mist and swept toward Luo Chen.

"God of Slaughter Domain..." Luo Chen was instantly alarmed. He quickly pressed himself tightly against the window as the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill burst forth from within him, resisting the killing intent rushing in from all around.

Killing intent had taken physical form. It could actually turn killing intent into something like internal energy, equivalent to gaining another kind of power. This God of Slaughter Domain truly was powerful.

Bang...

The internal energy released by Luo Chen's Nine Yang Divine Skill was instantly scattered by the red killing intent. The killing intent entered his body, and Luo Chen suddenly felt weak all over. His blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan immediately spun as he looked at Tang Hao and said, "Senior's Soul Power far surpasses mine. Killing me would be effortless. But I truly do not know who you are. I killed quite a few opponents at Suotuo City's Great Spirit Arena. Could Senior be seeking revenge for them?"

Tang Hao looked at Luo Chen with some surprise. After a moment, he said, "Good kid. You can actually remain calm in the face of my killing intent. It should be thanks to those eyes of yours, shouldn't it? Your eyes possess spiritual power, somewhat similar to the Purple Eyes Xiao San has cultivated since childhood. Even now, I still don't know what that is..."

Only then did Luo Chen pretend to be somewhat shocked. "Could Senior be Tang San's..."

Before Luo Chen could finish, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Clear Sky Crown, you truly came..." It was Flander's voice.

Luo Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Another reason he had not fled just now was because he knew Flander and Grandmaster were in nearby rooms. If necessary, he could pretend to call for help. Even if Grandmaster did not know, Flander would certainly notice something.

If he ran now, it would be equivalent to exposing himself. Luo Chen still planned to slowly torture these people to death. How could he leave now?

Upon hearing that voice, Tang Hao cast a cold glance toward the corridor, then immediately withdrew the powerful killing intent he had released.

The red Blood Mist in the air vanished instantly the next second. Luo Chen pretended to collapse weakly to the floor, panting heavily as he secretly observed everything through his eyes.

In truth, Luo Chen had not been greatly affected. Although the God of Slaughter Domain was formidable, its main purpose was not attack, but destroying an opponent's fighting spirit, drastically weakening the strength they could display while allowing its owner to unleash greater power. It was essentially a control domain.

However, Luo Chen possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, which could resist the fear brought to his heart by the killing intent. Moreover, Luo Chen cultivated the Yi Jin Jing. With its freedom from all taboos, he was immune to all negative bodily conditions.

"Clear Sky Crown, this child is Tang San's best brother. It would be better not to let him know for now..." After walking over, Flander gave Luo Chen a complicated look before respectfully speaking to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao remained expressionless as he said deeply, "This child is indeed special. I heard he even saved Xiao San before, is that right?"

Flander nodded. "That's right. At the academy, Luo Chen, Tang San, and Xiao Wu are the closest of friends. I heard the three of them grew up together..."

At this point, Flander looked at Luo Chen again and said, "Luo Chen, do not ask anything. Go rest. Clear Sky Crown bears no ill will; he has come to save our Shrek Academy..."

Luo Chen pretended to nod seriously. "I understand. Don't worry, Dean..."

Flander nodded and shut the door. Then Luo Chen heard Flander speak again.

"Although this child is powerful now, his Martial Soul is ultimately just a fan. His future achievements definitely cannot compare to Tang San, who has inherited Your Excellency's legacy. Twin Martial Souls are rarely seen even once in a century. Ever since Tang San entered the academy, he has never used his second Martial Soul..."

"Mm. Xiao San has been obedient enough..." Tang Hao nodded and said in a deep voice, "I heard Zhao Wuji is dead. Who did it? What exactly happened to Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Flander's expression changed as well. He sighed and said, "Perhaps only Your Excellency can find that person. Clear Sky Crown, come with me. Xiao Gang and I are responsible for Tang San falling into danger. We should both apologize to Your Excellency..."

After that, Luo Chen could no longer hear any sounds. He guessed Tang Hao and Flander had gone to Grandmaster's room.

Since that was the case, it was time to consider when to have Bibi Dong make her move.

Luo Chen knew that although Bibi Dong could defeat Tang Hao now, she could not completely crush him. Tang Hao's combat ability was unquestionably powerful. He possessed the No. 1 Attack System Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, as well as the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and Haotian Nine Perfections. He also had a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.

There was also the divine skill Ring Detonation, and the Great Sumeru Hammer...

If Bibi Dong had not already become a Limit Douluo and cultivated the Nine Yin Manual, she might not have been able to reliably defeat Tang Hao.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao was currently Level 95. The gap between him and Level 99 was simply too great. Even with Ring Detonation, he could no longer defeat Bibi Dong.

Among Title Douluo, the gap between Level 91 and Level 95 was not especially large. But from Level 96 onward, the difference in Soul Power at every level became enormous. Under normal circumstances, a Level 99 Limit Douluo could take on more than a dozen Level 95 Title Douluo without any issue.

Even among Level 99 Limit Douluo, there were tremendous differences: those who had just entered Level 99, demigods, and quasi-gods...

Bibi Dong had only just entered Level 99, but with the Nine Yin Manual, her Soul Power was several times that of an ordinary Level 99. Her application of Soul Power had already approached, or even surpassed, that of a demigod. Yet even so, if they truly fought, she might not necessarily defeat Qian Daoliu. After all, Qian Daoliu could use part of the Angel God's power and possessed the divine artifact Measuring Heaven Sword. Those were not things that could be compensated for by Soul Power alone.

Luo Chen was not considering those matters now. Qian Daoliu had absolutely nothing to do with him. Once Bibi Dong reached the later stages of her divine trial, she would naturally crush Qian Daoliu with ease. For now, as long as she could kill Tang Hao, that was enough.

Bibi Dong killing Tang Hao would certainly be a fine show, but it could not happen in Suotuo City. Otherwise, more than half the city would be destroyed.

Tang San and Grandmaster could not be allowed to miss that fine show either...

As he listened to the sounds in the corridor, Luo Chen sat on the bed and plotted silently. After a long while, a smile appeared on his lips.

Luo Chen's plan was as perfect as ever. Not only could he utterly break Tang San's heart and awaken Tang San's potential and hatred, he could also remain by Tang San's side, pretending to be Tang San's brother and helping him seek revenge...

Then, bit by bit, he would have Grandmaster, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun die one after another to the Ultimate Hunt...

Luo Chen knew Bibi Dong was ruthless, no less so than himself. Perhaps after Tang Hao's limbs were crippled, she would publicly announce it to the world and humiliate the reclusive Clear Sky Sect. Or perhaps she would force the Clear Sky Sect out of hiding, then destroy it as well...

With his involvement, the future Soul Hunting Operation would be far more brutal than in the original story...

Thinking of this, Luo Chen became even more excited. After Tang Hao left the hotel, he took out the sixty-thousand-year leg Soul Bone Bibi Dong had given him earlier and began absorbing it earnestly.

After absorbing the Soul Bone, Luo Chen's Soul Power had risen to Level 36. The skill granted by this Soul Bone delighted him greatly.

This Soul Bone had dropped after a sixty-thousand-year Wind Flame Demon Dragon was slain. Its Soul Bone skill was Wind God Slash...

Upon activation, it allowed the leg to instantly unleash an extraordinarily powerful wind-attribute force, coursing through the entire body, as though he himself had become a sharp blade. The burst of power in that instant was enough to cut through every obstacle.

Even more terrifying was that its speed in that instant was ninety-nine times the speed of sound...

In other words, once someone was locked onto by Wind God Slash, they could only defend themselves. Dodging was fundamentally impossible. Even opponents with teleportation-type Soul Skills might not react in time.

The power of Wind God Slash existed only for an instant. Unlike Blood Moon Slash, it could not deal multiple stages of damage.

That instantaneous burst and speed were both far beyond what Blood Moon Slash could compare to...

"So powerful..." Luo Chen felt the power in his right leg, and excitement surged within him again.

While using Wind God Slash, he could also use Blood Moon Slash. If he added the Flying Thunder God Technique, Eight Gates Formation, Lightning Release, and all those powers, stacking them together in that instant...

That night, Luo Chen was so excited that he could barely sleep. The next day, following Grandmaster's request, he participated in a 1v1 Soul Duel. On the Soul Duel Arena, he kicked a Level 39 Soul Elder on the other side flat onto the ground with one kick.

After obtaining the Soul Bone, the strength and toughness of Luo Chen's right leg had improved significantly.

Afterward, Luo Chen politely helped the terrified Soul Elder to his feet, shook hands with him to make peace, and left the Soul Duel Channel after successfully completing his task. There, he discovered Grandmaster waiting for him, while Tang San and the others had also arrived.

Today was the day to settle their points. Grandmaster brought Luo Chen and the other eight, and after their points were calculated, the Shrek Team had become a Gold Soul Duel Team. Of the Shrek Team's eight members, everyone except Ning Rongrong and Oscar had also received Silver Soul Badges for their individual Soul Duels.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar had both received Silver Soul Badges through two-person Soul Duels.

Grandmaster's second stage of special training had been successfully completed.

However, during this period, Grandmaster and Flander still had everyone staying at the hotel. Aside from Luo Chen, no one else knew Tang Hao had come yesterday.

After leaving the Great Spirit Arena, everyone was free to do as they pleased. Xiao Wu suddenly skipped over to Luo Chen, secretly reached out, touched his abdominal muscles, and happily said, "Chen Ge, come play with Xiao Wu today. Tonight, Xiao Wu will take you back to Rongrong's and my room..."

"Uh, this..." Luo Chen thought about it. He had been planning to see Bibi Dong. He had originally wanted to sneak out last night, but that bastard Tang Hao had shown up. He could not keep putting it off today, or he feared Bibi Dong might come find him herself. If that happened, Xiao Wu and Grandmaster would both run into her.

At that moment, Tang San and Dai Mubai also walked out of the Great Spirit Arena. Tang San still had gauze stuck to his face, his scars not yet healed, yet he shamelessly said to Xiao Wu, "Little Wu, come with me to the Blacksmith Shop. I want to buy some things to make new hidden weapons..."

"Ah, this..." Xiao Wu looked a little troubled. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked at Luo Chen. "Little Chen, come too..."

Luo Chen smiled. "I won't go. You and Xiao San go first."

At that moment, he saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing emerge. Luo Chen hurried over, took Ning Rongrong's hand, and said, "Rongrong, this commercial street around the Great Spirit Arena is lively. I'll go buy you a new set of underwear..."

"Sure, ah..." Ning Rongrong looked at Luo Chen in surprise, then suddenly blushed and pinched him. "What underwear? Why would you say that in front of so many people? You're awful..."

Luo Chen smiled without saying anything else. He stroked Ning Rongrong's long hair, only to see Zhu Zhuqing beside them glaring at him with a faint blush on her face.

Luo Chen found Zhu Zhuqing's look somewhat strange and worried he might be exposed, so he quickly took the initiative to say, "Zhuqing, don't envy us. Look, Boss Dai is waiting for you over there. We'll be leaving first."

Sure enough, after Luo Chen said that, Dai Mubai walked over somewhat awkwardly. Dai Mubai truly acted like a simp in front of Zhu Zhuqing now.

"Bastard..." Zhu Zhuqing watched Luo Chen's retreating figure and could not help gritting her teeth.

"Zhuqing, look, Tang San and Xiao Wu have left. Luo Chen and Rongrong have gone to have fun too. We..." Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing expectantly.

Zhu Zhuqing cast Dai Mubai a cold glance, then turned and left.

Dai Mubai did not give up either, following after her with the look of a simp.

Luo Chen glanced at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, but did not worry about anything. Zhu Zhuqing naturally had to string Dai Mubai along. She could not be too cold to him, or how would she keep Dai Mubai liking her and acting as her simp?

Seeing that Xiao Wu and Tang San had left as well, Luo Chen did not think much of it. The two had never even held hands. He was absolutely at ease about Xiao Wu. They had been flirting ambiguously for more than six years, so naturally he should give her enough trust.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Luo Chen was also certain that she liked him now. As for whether she had done anything else, he would naturally be able to tell when he slept with her later.

Thinking this, Luo Chen took Ning Rongrong to the commercial street and showed her some new styles of underwear.

The clothes in the Douluo Continent anime world were actually very similar to modern clothing. Those undergarments were also quite sexy, with flesh-colored, pink, white, and all kinds of patterned designs.

The Dou Dou he had seen before seemed rather girlish. Pink patterns, Mickey Mouse...

"This one... Rongrong, buy it and wear it for me to see..." After picking out a piece of erotic lingerie, Luo Chen handed it to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong looked at it, then suddenly blushed. "This... we're really buying it? This is a little too..."

Luo Chen smiled. "Of course we're buying it. Put it on later, then come meet my sister with me..."

"Ah, your sister?" Ning Rongrong looked at Luo Chen with a blush and whispered, "Why are you suddenly making me meet... You haven't even come with me to meet my father yet..."

Only then did Luo Chen realize something was off. He quickly smiled and stroked her cheek. "Sure. Whenever you want me to meet your father, I can go with you. She isn't my biological sister; you'll just be getting to know her. When it comes time for a real meeting, I'll take you to Spirit City to meet my mother..."

"Really? Then I'll definitely have to prepare properly..." Ning Rongrong suddenly looked somewhat moved as she gazed at Luo Chen seriously.

Luo Chen nodded with a smile. "Mm, be good. Buy this first..."

Only then did Ning Rongrong take it. Looking down at it, she said with a blush, "Mm... I've never worn anything like this before, but since Chen Ge likes it, I'll try wearing it..."

"Mm, that's more like it..." Luo Chen contentedly held Ning Rongrong's hand. After paying, he led her away from the commercial street and to the hotel south of the Great Spirit Arena.

Only two days had passed. Luo Chen thought Bibi Dong probably had not left yet.

Although Ning Rongrong's identity somewhat conflicted with Bibi Dong's, Luo Chen did not care. Ning Rongrong naturally did not know Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong probably did not know her either.

Luo Chen had already slept with Bibi Dong. This time, he could bring Ning Rongrong along too...

Of course, they would only have a simple chat, then discuss the plan with Dong'er. To kill Tang Hao while making Tang San and Grandmaster witness it with their own eyes, then torment Grandmaster some more, the best opportunity would naturally be on the road after the Shrek Team left Suotuo City and headed for Heaven Dou City...

In Heaven Dou City, they would meet Sister Liu Erlong. At that time, that Grandmaster who had always acted so smug should finally experience what it felt like to be cuckolded until he doubted his life.

As he thought about it, Luo Chen grew increasingly expectant. Holding the somewhat nervous Ning Rongrong's hand, he went upstairs with her.
