Dugu Yan Knocks Yan Shao Zhe into Dreamland with One Punch

What?!

Dugu Yan's words crashed into everyone's ears like a thunderclap. In an instant, all eyes were drawn to her sudden declaration. They turned to look at Dugu Yan, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

The freshmen in particular were direct and undisguised in their admiration for Dugu Yan. To these boys and girls who had only just entered the academy, a Titled Douluo was a legendary existence! They had only ever heard of such figures and had never had the chance to witness one in person.

Now, a genuine Titled Douluo stood right before them. The shock was simply beyond words.

Many of the youths stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly agape as though they had witnessed the most unbelievable sight in the world.

The young female Spirit Masters were even more fervent.

Their eyes shone with excitement as they secretly dreamed of becoming as powerful and dazzling as the female Titled Douluo before them one day. To them, becoming such an outstanding female Spirit Master was undoubtedly the greatest dream of their lives.

In contrast, Dean Yan was somewhat unfamiliar to most of the freshmen.

Although he was the dean of the Outer Court, he was clearly still a step below Dugu Yan, a Titled Douluo.

After all, in the students' minds, even though the strength of a Soul Fighting Douluo was already formidable, it ultimately could not compare to a Titled Douluo. Thus, upon hearing Dugu Yan's name, everyone's attention naturally focused on her.

Yan Shao Zhe: .

Yan Shao Zhe and Du Wilun looked completely different from the freshmen. They were utterly incredulous and shocked, as though they had seen the legendary Ancestor Tang San himself.

"H-How... how is that possible?!"

Yan Shao Zhe used his Soul Power to ease Du Wilun's pressure, staring at Dugu Yan with disbelief and shock. "I remember you were only a Soul Emperor back then!"

"My, it seems Dean Yan hasn't forgotten someone abandoned by the times like me." Dugu Yan's tone remained as strange and mocking as ever, and the way she stared at Yan Shao Zhe was like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

"Heh." Yan Shao Zhe quickly composed himself. Nine spirit rings rose beneath his feet. "You cultivated so quickly—you're obviously an Evil Spirit Master. Today, I'll capture you and the two girls behind you and bring you back to Sea God Pavilion for judgment!"

That was right! Yan Shao Zhe was coveting Dugu Yan's method of raising her cultivation so quickly, and he had other ideas as well. If she had not used the cultivation methods of those Evil Spirit Masters, then she must have found the immortal herb paradise from Ancestor Tang San's era—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Although Master Yu's notes recorded that the paradise belonged to Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, only Ancestor Tang San knew how to use those immortal herbs. Therefore, that paradise should belong to Shrek Academy!

As long as he captured her and brought her back to Sea God Pavilion, he could learn the location of that paradise. Then Xiaotao's problem with her evil fire could be solved with ease, his teacher's injuries could heal, and his own strength could rise another level!

"Still that disgusting face."

Hearing Yan Shao Zhe's words, Dugu Yan felt even more sickened. She sent a Soul Power transmission to Mo Yan behind her. "Lady Mo Yan, I'm sorry for acting on my own."

Seeing Yan Shao Zhe's disgusting face, she truly could not endure it any longer.

"It's fine." Mo Yan indicated that it was nothing, but said mischievously, "Sister Yan, don't lose. If you lose, you'll have to go back and receive punishment from that person~"

"Yes."

Dugu Yan nodded, her cheeks faintly flushed. She knew exactly who Mo Yan meant by that person. At the thought of that kind of punishment, she blushed, but now was not the time to think about it.

When she looked toward Yan Shao Zhe again, her expression instantly turned cold. Nine spirit rings rose beneath her feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red. Nine spirit rings even more dazzling than Yan Shao Zhe's floated around Dugu Yan.

All the freshmen were stunned. They had not expected Dean Yan to be a Titled Douluo, much less that Dugu Yan was not only a Titled Douluo, but also possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

Yan Shao Zhe's thoughts churned as a trace of gravity flashed through his eyes.

He had originally thought Dugu Yan was merely an ordinary Titled Douluo, someone he could easily suppress with the strength of a Super Douluo.

However, when Dugu Yan's ninth spirit ring appeared, that deep crimson radiance instantly shattered all his expectations.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

Even a Super Douluo might not be able to obtain a spirit ring of that level with ease. Yan Shao Zhe knew that a Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was absolutely not comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Dugu Yan's spirit ring configuration even surpassed his own. That meant the gap between them had already been leveled, and Dugu Yan might even surpass him in certain aspects.

Yan Shao Zhe secretly pondered that if they fought one-on-one, he might not be able to guarantee victory.

Although he was a Super Douluo, victory or defeat was hard to predict against a Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. If he acted by force, he would likely only end up in a stalemate and might even be countered by his opponent.

A hint of apprehension rose in his heart.

If he called Xuan Zi over for assistance, the matter would inevitably escalate. Dugu Yan clearly had a powerful force backing her, otherwise she could not have hunted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone.

Once the forces behind both sides became involved, the situation would become exceedingly complicated and might even trigger a greater conflict.

Yan Shao Zhe took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He knew he could not act rashly at this moment. Rather than take the risk, it would be better to retreat for now and convene the Sea God Assembly to let his teacher decide.

Mu En: 6. You come to me for everything—what will you do when I'm dead?

Dugu Yan's sudden attack had completely caught Yan Shao Zhe off guard.

He had originally thought that the two sides had reached some sort of tacit understanding and would not attack lightly.

However, Dugu Yan's decisiveness and ruthlessness left him unprepared. That punch carried fierce Soul Power fluctuations and sent him flying, smashing him heavily into a distant building.

"Dean!" Du Wilun cried out in alarm and hurriedly flew over to check on Yan Shao Zhe. His expression was extremely ugly. He had clearly not expected Dugu Yan to be so forceful that even a Super Douluo like Yan Shao Zhe would be driven back by a single punch.

Dugu Yan paid no attention to Yan Shao Zhe's sorry state. Her cold gaze swept toward Shrek Academy as though she were waiting for something.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the academy, accompanied by a deafening roar:

"Bastard! Which dogshit bastard dares cause trouble at Shrek Academy?!"

The voice rolled forth like thunder, making the surrounding space tremble faintly. Then, a slovenly figure appeared before everyone. It was an elderly man who looked utterly unkempt, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, but the pressure radiating from him made no one dare underestimate him.

Taotie Douluo—Xuan Zi!

Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed as she inwardly became wary. She had long learned from Lord Holy Lord that Xuan Zi was Shrek Academy's strongest fighter on the surface, a Rank 98 Super Douluo.

Though she possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and the Dragon Transformation Technique, enough to contend with Yan Shao Zhe or even crush him, she did not dare show the slightest carelessness against an old powerhouse like Xuan Zi.

"You're the one causing trouble at Shrek Academy?"

Xuan Zi stared fixedly at Dugu Yan before him. He sensed danger. This woman was likely far more complicated than she appeared!

Seeing this, Dugu Luo cautiously asked, "Lady Mo Yan, has my mother made this matter a little too big?"

"It is indeed a little big." Mo Yan nodded in agreement, but her gaze remained fixed on the giant tree within Shrek Academy. "But that old fellow won't keep watching the show anymore."

There was quite a lot of luck this time, so she would let Sister Yan absorb some of it first.

And conveniently shift a certain person's attention~
