Helping Ning Rongrong Vent Her Anger, Plan to Save Gu Yuena

Luo Chen smiled lightly. "Yeah, I want to take the punishment for you. I'm not afraid. Rongrong, let's go together."

Ning Rongrong looked at Luo Chen curiously again, then burst into laughter. "You're quite an interesting boy. I rather like your personality, Miss Ning does. Fine, let's go together. If he punishes you, I'll speak up for you."

Luo Chen nodded and glanced back. His eyes immediately transformed into the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

The next moment, Luo Chen turned back around and left Shrek Village with Ning Rongrong.

Luo Chen had already noticed that Flander was watching them from behind, but it did not matter. At a time like this, Luo Chen could not use the Body Flicker Technique to escape again, or he would expose his abilities.

Following Ning Rongrong, Luo Chen arrived at a top-class restaurant and ate with her. Ning Rongrong took the initiative to pay for him—three Gold Soul Coins. Damn, one meal had cost the equivalent of three years' income for an ordinary civilian.

"Alright, let's go stroll around some more. When the time's about right, I'll go back. Hehe." After leaving the restaurant, Ning Rongrong smiled happily and led Luo Chen to the commercial street.

During this time, the system in Luo Chen's mind received some more experience points from Ning Rongrong. It was neither much nor little. It seemed he still had to do something else.

Luo Chen lightly brushed Ning Rongrong's hand. As though she had expected it, Ning Rongrong immediately slipped her hand into her pocket. She stared at Luo Chen with a mischievous gaze. "What are you doing? I'm not your anything. If you dare get handsy with me again, I'll have my Sword Grandpa chop you up. He's a Title Douluo, you know."

Damn. Luo Chen immediately withdrew his hand obediently. This girl was a little hard to figure out. Sure enough, the livelier a girl was, the harder she was to handle. She seemed quite clever and had seen through his intentions.

Even as an Ultimate Hunter, he could not be reckless. If he really got himself killed, that would be too embarrassing. With female characters like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Liu Erlong, he could not forcefully flirt with them before he was certain. He had to take things slowly. It would be bad if he flirted himself to death.

"Hehe, look how scared you are. Alright, let's head back. Carry this for me..." Ning Rongrong looked at Luo Chen's expression and laughed, handing him a large plush toy she had just bought. The two began walking back.

After returning, Ning Rongrong went to the training ground first. She had no idea Flander had discovered her long ago, and she even pretended to finish the final lap.

Luo Chen also returned to his dormitory.

The experience points from this round were not much. Ning Rongrong's favorability toward him had increased quite a bit, but it did not seem to have reached the heart-fluttering stage of love yet. Eight hundred experience points in total—not bad.

After allocating them, Luo Chen began to think. He actually quite liked the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena. After all, she was beautiful. She should have been the strongest female character in Douluo.

Gu Yuena should currently be sleeping beneath the lake in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian and those powerful soul beasts were absorbing Tian Meng and were basically all asleep as well.

Luo Chen thought that once he reached the later stages of cultivation, he should have the ability to awaken her. But if he did that, then when he went to the timelines of Douluo Two and Three, ruled by God King Tang San, another Gu Yuena would still appear.

Still, two Gu Yuena were actually fine. One would be the Silver Dragon King awakened by him, while the other would be the Gu Yuena who entered human society in Tang Wulin's era. He could take both away in the end.

After thinking about it, he decided to wait until later. The current Luo Chen did not have the ability to enter that place. Waking Gu Yuena would inevitably awaken the Ten Ferocious Beasts, and they were far more terrifying than the Sky Azure Bull Python.

After Luo Chen reversed the situation and changed history during the era of Douluo One, he could turn everything afterward into new history, transforming the erroneous history originally ruled by Tang San into a new spacetime and completely splitting it off.

This was an ability possessed only by enforcers of the hypermultiverse. At present, Douluo Continent did not have multiple spacetimes. The entire Douluo universe had only one timeline, the history ruled by Tang San.

Once Luo Chen changed the history of Douluo One, that line would split into two spacetimes from the moment of his arrival onward, becoming two parallel universes. Like a branching tree limb, one would be the timeline changed by Luo Chen, and the other would be the timeline ruled by Tang San.

A new timeline could only appear if someone traveled through time and changed history. But no one in the Douluo universe had ever traveled through time before, so naturally, no new timeline had ever appeared.

In the Douluo universe, traveling through true time was impossible. True time was the time of the entire Douluo universe, including the Divine Realm. Neither God King Tang San nor the Dragon God could do it. Otherwise, the Divine Realm would have been swept away by the turbulent currents of spacetime.

Of course, Luo Chen could travel through true time. After successfully changing history, he could make the later history of Douluo Continent follow the correct path, splitting off the erroneous history ruled by Tang San and turning it into another parallel-universe branch.

That branch was destined to disappear as well. Therefore, when Luo Chen went to Douluo Two and Three, he would slowly pull that branch back onto the right track and bring it to the same ending—or destroy it outright.

Only after Luo Chen successfully completed the mission in Douluo One could the timeline truly become two separate lines. Right now, it was still one. This timeline, already ruled by Tang San, was still invisibly preventing Luo Chen from changing history. Many things were proceeding according to the plot.

After completing the Ultimate Hunt in Douluo One, Luo Chen would go to the other timeline that had split off. There would still be a Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Dai Mubai there. In that spacetime, the Shrek Seven Devils had all become gods and lived in the Divine Realm. Tang Wulin and Tang Wutong were there as well.

That Xiao Wu, who had already married Tang San, had nothing to do with the current Xiao Wu. Their experiences were different.

That Xiao Wu's memories contained no trace of Luo Chen whatsoever. This Xiao Wu, however, had already fallen for him and would ultimately be taken away by him.

Luo Chen could also snatch Xiao Wu from the Divine Realm and merge their souls into one. But they were actually two different people. After their souls merged, she would instead have two sets of memories. That would not be good.

As for Tang San, who had become a God King, he would definitely have to die once more. Whether his wife Xiao Wu, the god Oscar, and the others should be killed later would depend on the missions in Douluo Two and Three. For now, it was better to first change the history of Douluo One.

After recovering his divine power, Ultimate Hunter Luo Chen could also use the Ultimate Hunt skill bestowed by the Supreme Temple: Chaos Annihilation...

This move could completely erase Tang San's soul. In that case, Tang San's soul would be thoroughly purified, and every Tang San across all spacetimes would vanish instantly. Even if someone traveled here again, they would never see Tang San be born again. This was eternal death, total destruction.

But completely erasing Tang San in Douluo One would affect the development of Douluo Two and Three and might even split off new spacetimes. It would be best to wait until he killed God King Tang San before using that move. In Douluo One, he only needed to carry out the Ultimate Hunt on Tang San and make him, his brothers, and his relatives die in unbearable agony.

As for God King Tang San, Luo Chen would completely annihilate him later. San Ge would suffer even more after dying twice, and Tang Wutong still had to be taken away.

As he thought, Luo Chen suddenly felt that he might have been thinking too far ahead. If he kept going, he would be naming the children he and Gu Yuena would have. Feeling a little sleepy, he lay down and slept for a while.

When he woke up, it was already evening. Luo Chen arrived at the large training ground with a confident expression.

The other seven were there as well. Luo Chen was the last to arrive. The moment he walked in, he saw Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, the three beautiful girls, all turn to look at him.

Luo Chen looked back at them one by one. The three girls all shyly withdrew their gazes. That feeling was simply indescribable.

After Luo Chen stood beside Xiao Wu, he saw that bastard Flander staring fixedly at him. Something was off. Flander's expression was dark, as if Luo Chen had stolen his wife.

Luo Chen thought, Liu Erlong isn't even your wife. You're just a simp, an old bachelor already.

Flander withdrew his gaze and looked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong. "Did you finish running?"

Just like in the plot, Oscar stepped forward and said that he and Ning Rongrong had both finished. Yet Flander still punished them by making them run twenty laps.

Flander then looked at Ning Rongrong and asked whether she had actually finished running.

Perhaps influenced by Luo Chen, Ning Rongrong was not afraid at all this time. She stepped forward proudly. "I didn't finish. I didn't even eat breakfast. The cafeteria food is awful, and I can't stand eating it. There were so many laps too. How could I possibly finish?"

Flander said coldly, "So you went to Suotuo City with another male student, ate at the finest restaurant, and bought many things. Is that right?"

"What? Flander, you dared to follow us?" Ning Rongrong suddenly widened her eyes. This girl had become even more arrogant, directly calling the headmaster by name.

Flander did not get angry. He gave some speech about the battlefield, then scrutinized Luo Chen's side and said sternly, "The other male student, although I did not make you run, you left the academy without permission, disobeyed the rules, and even helped a female student leave. Step forward and accept your punishment."

The other students were still looking at one another. Xiao Wu suddenly seemed to think of something and gave Luo Chen a strange look before pinching his arm.

Luo Chen had not cared at first, but Xiao Wu's pinch hurt. He stepped forward, saw Flander staring at him, and honestly said, "It was me, Headmaster. Sorry, we both just arrived and didn't really understand. I'll run fifty laps for her. You don't need to punish her..."

"Fifty laps?" Flander looked at Luo Chen strangely, then nodded. "Very good. Then let me seal your Soul Power and see whether you can finish those fifty laps first..."

Flander immediately walked over to Luo Chen, grabbed his arm, and suppressed his Soul Power. For the next two hours, if Luo Chen used Soul Power, he would suffer intense pain in his chest.

"Alright, go run." Flander stared at Luo Chen. He did not believe Luo Chen could complete fifty laps with his Soul Power suppressed.

Luo Chen smiled faintly inwardly. As if you can seal your father's Soul Power. The Nine Yang Divine Skill can break through these acupoint-sealing and Soul Power-suppressing methods. Besides, even if I truly didn't use Soul Power, this wouldn't be difficult for me.

Just as Luo Chen was about to run, Ning Rongrong, wearing a green gauze skirt with her long hair flowing behind her, immediately grabbed him. Looking at him with her beautiful eyes, she said, "Are you stupid? Without Soul Power, even twenty laps would exhaust you to the point of collapse. If you run fifty laps, won't you just die from exhaustion? We're not running."

Ning Rongrong looked at Flander again and said disdainfully, "Flander, you dare control me? You're only a mere Soul Sage. I'll leave whenever I want. Can you stop me?"

Just like in the plot, Flander began boasting, saying that he feared no one here. He then told Dai Mubai to help Ning Rongrong pack her things and leave.

That blond-haired Dai Mubai immediately jumped out, looking at Ning Rongrong in surprise.

Next, Flander began belittling Ning Rongrong. He mentioned everyone present, saying that every single one of them was stronger than her and making her sound utterly worthless.

Luo Chen stood behind Ning Rongrong at this moment. Seeing that she was nearly crying, he gently patted her shoulder from behind. Her left hand happened to be resting behind her, so Luo Chen naturally took it in his hand and whispered into her ear, "It's okay, Rongrong. I support you. From now on, you only need to be my little support..."

"Luo Chen!" Flander suddenly shouted, startling Luo Chen. He immediately pulled back his hand and put on a serious, obedient expression.

That bastard Flander stared at Luo Chen and continued showing off. "I know your background. Although it is indeed not easy for you to cultivate the Peach Blossom Clan's martial soul, the Peach Blossom Fan, to level twenty-eight and obtain both lightning and fire soul skills, it still cannot change the fact that your future potential is far below everyone present. Every one of them has a martial soul with a clear classification: control, assault, support, food. But your martial soul fits none of them. In other words, your martial soul cannot even be classified into a proper type..."

Damn. Luo Chen's expression suddenly changed. Why are you mocking your father now? But what exactly is my martial soul's classification?

It really did seem impossible to classify. It could not control others, was not an assault type, and was not an agility-attack type either...

Flander continued showing off. "Tell me, what direction can your martial soul cultivate in? Moreover, your soul skills are poorly matched. Your First Soul Skill is fire, yet your Second Soul Skill is lightning. Your martial soul itself belongs neither to the assault system nor the control system, yet you refuse to develop one attribute to its utmost limit. Do you think your future achievements can surpass those of your good friends Tang San and Xiao Wu?"

Damn, this bastard was courting death. He did not understand a thing, yet he was still acting like he could lecture the world.

Luo Chen's two soul skills basically crushed Tang San's two trash soul skills. His First Soul Skill was Purple Flame Fire Poison, allowing him to release poisonous purple flames. Combined with Fire Release's Great Fireball, he could unleash a huge area of purple poisonous fire, far more powerful than using Fire Release alone.

His Second Soul Skill was also from a soul ring Xiao Wu had helped him obtain. It came from a nine-hundred-year-old Dragon Bloodline Soul Beast and could release black lightning. This lightning was likewise superior to the ordinary lightning of his Lightning Release.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Chen calmly said, "My martial soul can cultivate everything. It's omnipotent and doesn't need a fixed direction. I'll cultivate every attribute and find the strongest element of each one."

Flander smiled faintly. "Ignorant. With a martial soul that cannot even be properly classified, you won't even find an appropriate position on the battlefield. There has never been an all-attribute martial soul in history. A true genius should..."

Luo Chen was getting a little impatient. This bastard really could ramble. Doesn't your father know whether he's strong or not? One of his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

The Sharingan could not hypnotize Flander. At most, it could control him for less than a second, which was useless.

Luo Chen looked overhead. Perfect. Two crows were flying above them.

Douluo Continent did not only have soul beasts. Only creatures capable of cultivation were soul beasts; those incapable of cultivation were merely ordinary animals.

Luo Chen released a thread of spiritual power and immediately made both crows look into his eyes. The next moment, he controlled them.

"You two are..." Before Flander could finish, the two crows flew over his head. A stream of liquid and bird droppings fell down, splattering all over Flander's old face.

Because Flander was still droning on, a lump even flew into his mouth.

"What is this..." Flander had not reacted yet. He tasted it, then suddenly looked up before immediately dropping to the ground with a retch and vomiting.

"Hahahaha, that's too funny! Haha, serves you right for talking nonstop..." Ning Rongrong burst into laughter. All her previous sadness vanished completely.
