Bibi Dong Poisons Tang San Mute, Tortures Grandmaster and Dai Mubai

"Nicely done, Xiao Wu..." Watching Xiao Wu approach with a smile, Luo Chen could not help praising her. The Black Panther Soul Master, Oslo, was practically half-dead as well.

The next moment, Luo Chen's gaze fell on Yu Tianheng's terrified face.

Behind Yu Tianheng, Ye Lingling, the anime-style girl dressed exactly as she was in the animation, had been scared into collapsing onto the ground. The Nine-Heart Begonia in her hand emitted a blue glow as it treated Oslo, but it was already proving ineffective.

Dugu Yan's delicate body trembled as she looked at Luo Chen in fear. She hurriedly took several steps back and said, "Don't... don't hurt us anymore. We surrender..."

Surrender?

Luo Chen smiled faintly. "You were the ones who tried to kill us first. You brought this upon yourselves. Now, please detoxify our teammates first. And have your little support healer treat our injured teammates as well..."

After saying that, Luo Chen teleported to Dugu Yan's side and gently wrapped an arm around her. Dugu Yan immediately felt her body go limp, her legs trembling as she stared fearfully at Luo Chen. "What are you trying to do?"

Luo Chen merely smiled and whispered, "Nothing. I told you to detoxify my teammates. Besides, I know that ordinary men do not dare get close to you because of the poison in your body. Even Yu Tianheng cannot truly be intimate with you, can he? After all these years, you probably still have not experienced what a kiss feels like..."

"Y-you... why are you saying this? Let me go. I'll detoxify them..." Dugu Yan's face instantly reddened, and she clenched her teeth. Of course she knew Luo Chen was telling the truth. Not only was her body poisonous, but even her lips carried deadly poison. How could anyone dare kiss her?

Whenever she and Yu Tianheng were together and their feelings intensified, Yu Tianheng did not dare truly touch her. It did leave her somewhat frustrated. After all, she was already over twenty years old. As a girl, she naturally had certain needs.

"Of course..." Only then did Luo Chen gently release her. He gave her cheek another kiss and pinched her soft lower abdomen before smiling. "All right, go on. I only wanted to tell you that I am not afraid of your poison. Even if you want me to fulfill something you have always wanted to do, I would be more than willing. I can even absorb your poison, making things better for both of us..."

"What? You mean that?" Dugu Yan's expression changed. Then she suddenly realized something, and her pretty face reddened. Still, she did not dare offend Luo Chen. She hurriedly turned around and went to detoxify Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Tang San.

Since Tang San had not had time to counter Dugu Yan's Azure Serpent Purple Poison, both Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had been affected. Their skin had turned green, and both were in unbearable pain.

Only then did Luo Chen turn around and look at the still trembling, terrified Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly retreated several steps, staring at Luo Chen in terror. "What are you going to do? We've already surrendered. You can't attack us anymore..."

Luo Chen smiled. "Of course not. But I touched your girlfriend. Aren't you angry?"

Yu Tianheng immediately gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Luo Chen. But the instant he met Luo Chen's blood-red eyes, his entire body went limp with fright. He hurriedly said, "N-no, I'm not. For Yan to catch the Ultimate Killing God's eye is her honor. She has Azure Serpent Poison on her body. Honestly, being with her has put me under a lot of pressure too. I'm willing. I'm willing to give her to you..."

"Tianheng, what did you say..." Yu Tianheng's words happened to reach Dugu Yan's ears. Her delicate body trembled as she turned around, staring at Yu Tianheng in disbelief.

"I..." Yu Tianheng's face flushed crimson. As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? But now, he truly feared Luo Chen. This killing god made his entire body tremble. He only wanted to escape this place as soon as possible, then return to his clan and avenge today's humiliation...

Yu Tianheng did not answer Dugu Yan. Instead, he immediately looked up at the beautiful girl Dou Dou in the air and shouted, "Our Royal Fight Team surrenders! Open the Soul Duel Channel and let us leave!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng's frightened and cowardly appearance, Dugu Yan froze. She had just detoxified Ma Hongjun, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Luo Chen smiled faintly and said nothing more. He walked over to Ye Lingling, who wore a very short pink skirt.

The anime-style girl Ye Lingling sat on the ground, her two snow-white legs curled slightly beneath her. Seeing Luo Chen approach, she cried out in fright, "Don't come any closer! We've already surrendered. What else do you want?"

Luo Chen smiled, crouching down as well. He pinched Ye Lingling's snow-white calf and said gently, "It's fine. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Your companions hurt us first, so now please treat our injured teammates. I hope we can become friends in the future."

"I... I'll treat them right away..." Ye Lingling did not dare say anything else. Her pretty face was pale as she hurriedly sat up trembling and began using the Nine-Heart Begonia's only soul skill to treat Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Tang San, whose injuries had not yet fully healed.

At that moment, the beautiful girl Dou Dou in the air also gripped her microphone with a trembling voice and announced the result of the Team Battle Soul Duel.

"Team Battle Soul Duel, victory goes to the Shrek Team..."

The next second, the nobles and spectators behind the crystal glass all around them went wild. Several staff members came up carrying stretchers and quickly removed the bodies of the Shi Brothers and Yu Feng, the Wind Chime Bird Soul Master.

As for Oslo, the Black Panther Soul Master, he had not died. Under Ye Lingling's healing, his bleeding had stopped, but his face would be difficult to restore. Two staff members carried him away from the Soul Duel Arena as well.

As the captain of the Royal Fight Team, Yu Tianheng did not even spare a glance for Ye Lingling or Dugu Yan. Once the Soul Duel Channel opened, he was the first to flee.

Only Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan remained, the two girls standing together as they watched their companions' bodies being carried away. Ye Lingling's legs went weak from fear, and she could barely stand.

Dugu Yan was much calmer now. She hurriedly grabbed Ye Lingling's hand and looked at Luo Chen with complicated emotions, her red lips trembling. After what had happened, she did not even dare face their teacher Qin Ming.

Tang San had just recovered and stood up again. Under Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia treatment, many of his wounds had healed, though the scars would still take time to vanish completely. He looked somewhat dejected. Seeing Luo Chen and Xiao Wu, he lowered his head and said, "Sorry, Chen Ge. You saved all of us again in this Team Battle Soul Duel..."

Luo Chen patted Tang San's shoulder. "No, it was my mistake. I should have cut down Yu Tianheng immediately. Then you would not have been injured."

"Luo Chen, you really are the strongest among us. I never expected you to fuse several soul skills and develop a new ultimate technique..."

A voice rang out. Luo Chen turned around and saw Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. The two had mostly recovered and were walking over together, with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing following behind them.

Luo Chen smiled faintly. "It's enough that everyone is all right. Let's leave. Grandmaster and the dean will probably blame me for being too heavy-handed."

Dai Mubai patted Luo Chen's shoulder. "It's fine. We brothers will speak up for you. If you hadn't saved Tang San, the Shi Brothers' four shields would have crushed him to death. When those five joined forces to attack you, they clearly wanted to kill you too. The fact that you did not kill all of them was already merciful."

After experiencing so many soul duels, the others from Shrek had come to understand Luo Chen's methods. They were not surprised. Tang San and Dai Mubai had both seen plenty, and it was not as though they had never witnessed such scenes before. Instead, they admired Luo Chen's decisiveness and ruthlessness even more. Nor did they doubt his relationship with them in the slightest, because Luo Chen had saved them all in the end.

Luo Chen nodded and then looked toward Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan across from him. Noticing the complicated resentment in Dugu Yan's gaze, he pretended to remain calm in front of his Shrek companions. "I'm sorry about your companions' deaths too. But you should have seen their true colors clearly now. This is the cruelty of the Great Spirit Arena. What I told you earlier was all true as well. If you need anything, you can come find me anytime..."

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others beside Luo Chen naturally did not understand his implication. They thought Luo Chen wanted to compensate this vice-captain of the Royal Fight Team somehow.

But Dugu Yan understood. Her face instantly reddened, and she gritted her teeth as she looked at Luo Chen. "You've got some nerve. Who needs you? I'll remember today's humiliation, Luo Chen..."

After saying that, Dugu Yan was no longer afraid. Holding the somewhat frightened Ye Lingling's hand, she led her slowly into the Soul Duel Channel and left.

After leaving the Soul Duel Channel, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling did not see Teacher Qin Ming.

Dugu Yan sighed softly. She knew that with three team members dead and one seriously injured, the Royal Fight Team would cease to exist. They could only form a new team.

Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the Shrek Team's lounge was oppressive, with none of the joy of victory.

The eight of them sat on the sofas. Luo Chen still leisurely held Ning Rongrong's hand, while Grandmaster and Flander wore grave expressions. After the two spoke quietly for a few moments, Grandmaster immediately looked at Luo Chen and said sternly, "Luo Chen, although your companions have all spoken for you, you were still too ruthless. You must understand that in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, killing or seriously injuring opponents is not permitted. If you continue being unable to control yourself, Shrek Academy may lose its qualification to compete..."

Luo Chen nodded as if chastened. "Grandmaster, Dean, I know I was wrong. But you both know that if I had not hit them hard, they would have continued attacking me together. That Death God Blood Moon Slash was my final trump card, created by fusing two soul skills. If I could not intimidate them, I would have had no ability to fight back..."

Ning Rongrong nodded seriously as well. "That's right. Luo Chen protected all of us. The Royal Fight Team does not deserve sympathy. When their five members joined forces to attack Luo Chen, they wanted to kill him too. Their captain even shouted twice on the Soul Duel Arena that killing him would secure their victory..."

Grandmaster and Flander exchanged glances. They naturally knew the truth of the situation. Though they felt tremendous pressure, they had no grounds to punish Luo Chen.

After a moment, Grandmaster looked solemnly at the eight of them. "You need to understand that Shrek Academy now has only the eight of you students left, along with Flander and me. Zhao Wuji and several teachers have not even been laid to rest. We do not know who killed them. The other three teachers who had not yet been harmed are now unwilling to return to the academy. Nothing must happen to any of you eight. Xiao Chen revealed his face today and killed three students from Tian Dou Royal Academy. Disaster will surely follow. For the next while, all of you are to remain properly in the hotel and go nowhere. Understood?"

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others exchanged looks and nodded seriously. Although this counted as a break, mentioning the deaths of several teachers made it impossible for anyone to feel happy.

Flander also sensed the oppressive mood. He adjusted his glasses and said, "All right, you little brats, don't overthink it. Leave everything else to the two of us. But Luo Chen, you are not allowed to rest during this period. You must participate in one 1v1 Soul Duel every day, but you are not allowed to hurt any opponent. After every duel, you must reconcile with your opponent and show goodwill. This is a test of your state of mind. If you cannot accomplish it, you will not be allowed to participate in any soul duels again. Oscar will take your place in every match..."

Grandmaster nodded as well, looking at Luo Chen. "You can create your own soul skills and combine several soul skills for use. Your combat talent and instincts have truly astonished me. But without a calm temperament, you will ultimately never achieve great things. I hope you can persist. Only then will I have the confidence to lead you into the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. By then, it will be a competition for the younger generation of Soul Masters across the entire continent..."

Luo Chen laughed inwardly. Grandmaster had put on this act for so long just because he wanted Luo Chen to become famous through the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

That was indeed Grandmaster's purpose. He was not someone who cared only for his students. If he did not care about fame and profit, he would not later accept Xue Ye's invitation and become the empire's Imperial Preceptor. This guy truly had no shame.

Naturally, Luo Chen said nothing and merely nodded. "Thank you, Grandmaster and Dean. No problem. I will definitely manage it. At the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, I definitely will not seriously injure my opponents again..."

Seeing Luo Chen's sincere attitude, Grandmaster and Flander nodded in satisfaction.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Luo Chen's lips. Of course he knew that Grandmaster and Flander would not truly punish him, much less expel him from Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy was already on the verge of collapse. Flander and Grandmaster were both trying to find a way to make one final comeback.

After a while, a male teacher arrived at the lounge entrance, his expression sorrowful and angry.

Grandmaster and Flander's expressions both changed when they saw him. Flander sighed. "Teacher Qin Ming, let's speak outside. Don't disturb the children..."

Luo Chen had no interest in hearing what Flander and Qin Ming had to say. He leaned back on the sofa, continuing to hold Ning Rongrong's soft, delicate body. Ning Rongrong's cheeks were flushed. Perhaps recalling Shrek Academy's current situation, she was somewhat frightened and pressed herself tightly against Luo Chen's chest.

Xiao Wu sat beside Tang San, secretly glancing over at them.

As Luo Chen gently squeezed Ning Rongrong's immature, soft body, he also glanced at Xiao Wu.

With Xiao Wu watching, she was naturally unhappy. Her pink rabbit ears twitched slightly, and she made a face at Luo Chen.

After quite some time, Flander and Grandmaster finally returned. They simply took the eight of them out for a meal before returning together to the hotel.

By then, it was already night. Luo Chen had paid for his own room at the hotel, so he stayed alone in a rather luxurious single room. After resting for a while, he was just about to sneak out to see Bibi Dong when he sensed that something was wrong.

Luo Chen instantly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and abruptly discovered a man in a black robe in the corridor outside his room, walking step by step toward his door.

The man kept his head lowered, his face buried within the black robe. Although Luo Chen could not see his face, this person was clearly Tang Hao.

Luo Chen was suddenly startled. Why had Tang Hao appeared at this time? Could he... be here for him?

After all these years, had Tang Hao finally discovered something...

Just as Luo Chen continued observing through his Mangekyo Sharingan, Tang Hao suddenly raised his head. His eyes filled with killing intent looked directly toward him through the wall.
