In Douluo, All the Goddesses Have Fallen Apart

"That's impossible."

"I've lived long enough to see this—cleared off the stage in a single round?"

"It was a fixed match, definitely a fixed match! How could a mere Soul Elder send a Soul Ancestor flying without even summoning his martial soul?"

"Are you brain-dead? If it was fixed, why would someone bet a million Gold Soul Coins on the Xing Ling Combination winning?"

Many people were stunned by the result. Many gamblers refused to accept it, but all they could do was roar in impotent fury.

Only Su Ruoxi, Dugu Yan, and the rest of the team were unsurprised, as though it were only natural.

Amid the astonished cries of the spectators, Wu Xing and Ye Lingling walked off the arena hand in hand. Ye Lingling had not made a single move from beginning to end, as if she had merely come along for the ride, leaving everyone sighing...

Tang San Turns the Tables

Wu Xing's performance in the Spirit Fighting matches spread through the entire Great Soul Arena like a wildfire.

Although he had only participated in two Spirit Fighting matches—one individual match and one doubles match—he had drawn the attention of countless people.

The main reason was that he had defeated his opponents in both matches without summoning his martial soul. Especially in the doubles match, he had faced two Soul Ancestors a whole major rank above him and knocked them both off the stage with one punch each, as easily as swatting children aside.

This had never happened before at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena. It completely overturned their understanding of Spirit Fighting matches.

"Wu Xing, starting today, you'll become famous in the Great Soul Arena." Judging from the course of those two matches, Yu Feng could imagine that before long, everyone in the Spirit Fighting Arena would know Wu Xing's name. In the future, his fame might even spread across the entire continent.

Wu Xing merely smiled. He did not care whether he became famous or not.

On the contrary, Su Ruoxi, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling had stars in their eyes. The more impressive their man was, the happier they were.

When they returned to the Spirit Fighting Arena's main hall, Zhan Minghui and the others also returned one after another after completing their matches.

Unlike Wu Xing, however, they had won with some difficulty. Still, being able to claim victory showed that they were rather outstanding themselves.

Once the last team member returned, Yu Feng led everyone away from the Great Soul Arena. They first returned to the hotel where they were staying to rest and recover, then prepared for the afternoon's team match.

When they returned to the Great Soul Arena, Yu Feng registered Imperial Team Two. Then, he gathered everyone in the preparation area to discuss who would fight and what tactics they would use.

At that moment, a young team appeared outside the gates of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

The team consisted of four men and three women. They were none other than the Shrek group, led by Yu Xiaogang.

Originally, Yu Xiaogang had not planned to bring them to the Great Soul Arena. After all, the little monsters had already performed exceptionally well at the Soto Great Soul Arena. All of them had obtained Silver Spirit Master Badges, while Tang San had even earned a Gold Spirit Master Badge.

There was little to gain from training here.

But he had come because he had noticed that his precious disciple Tang San had recently been absent-minded. He often lost focus during cultivation, and after careful observation, Yu Xiaogang discovered that it seemed to be caused by some conflict between Tang San and Xiao Wu.

To resolve this conflict, he could not directly interfere as their teacher. He could only have everyone fight and cooperate together to strengthen the friendship between the two. After much consideration, he used the excuse of letting them experience the strength of Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena's spirit masters and arranged for the little monsters to train at the Spirit Fighting Arena for the next two months.

"Did you hear? A monster apparently appeared in the Spirit Fighting Arena this morning."

"You heard too? I thought I was the only one who knew."

"Yeah. A newcomer participated in an individual Spirit Fighting match and a two-on-two doubles match this morning. He defeated his opponents without even summoning his martial soul. It's simply unheard of."

"Exactly. In the two-on-two match, his two opponents were a whole major rank above him, yet he sent both flying with one punch. Terrifying."

When the Shrek group entered the Spirit Fighting Arena's main hall, they heard countless spirit masters and spectators discussing it.

Yu Xiaogang's ears twitched, and then he frowned. He defeated opponents without summoning his martial soul? He even crossed an entire major rank and sent them flying with one punch?

What a joke. He did not believe such a spirit master could exist. It was surely just a rumor that had been exaggerated with each retelling.

Yu Xiaogang did not believe it, nor did Dai Mubai and the others. Tang San especially felt that if he could not accomplish such a thing, how could anyone else?

Even without summoning his martial soul and relying on the Tang Sect Secret Manuals from his previous life, he could not defeat a spirit master a whole major rank above him. Let alone end the battle with one punch.

Therefore, when he heard the discussion, his face was full of disdain. So this was the caliber of spirit masters at Heaven Dou City's Great Soul Arena? Their ability to spread rumors was first-rate. Was this some marketing trick by the Spirit Fighting Arena?

At first, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had not taken the discussion to heart either. But when those people mentioned the name of the newcomer spirit master, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

"Do you know that newcomer spirit master's name? Does he still have any matches today? I want to watch and see whether he's really as exaggerated as you say."

"His name seems to be Wu Xing. He's a level 38 Soul Elder. As for whether he has any more matches today, I don't know."

"Wu Xing!" Upon hearing that name, the three girls exchanged glances, a trace of delight appearing in their hearts.

But when Tang San heard the words Wu Xing, his pupils contracted. His face darkened, and his gaze turned especially terrifying.

Tang San's sudden surge of hostility startled Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, who were standing beside him. They quickly asked, "What's wrong, Tang San? Do you know Wu Xing?"

They were greatly surprised by Tang San's reaction. They had never seen him look so frightening.

Yu Xiaogang was no exception. Seeing the killing intent Tang San had erupted with, he frowned even more deeply and stared intently at his disciple. "Little San, what's going on with you?"

He still needed Tang San to establish his reputation across the continent. He did not want any unstable factors to appear in him.

That was why he had even gone so far as to find an excuse to gather the little monsters and bring them to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for matches.

In his view, nothing was more important than his own reputation. As long as Tang San could be stabilized, Xiao Wu's feelings did not matter at all. They only needed to participate in more doubles matches together. He refused to believe their feelings would not warm up.

As for whether this approach violated the morals expected of a teacher, he did not care in the slightest. Morality? What a joke.

Of course, he would never show that on the surface.

It had to be said that Yu Xiaogang was extremely skilled at keeping up appearances. He always spouted lofty principles, just as when he had wanted the Shrek group to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He claimed it was for the children's benefit, but in truth, it was merely selfish desire to make his own reputation greater. He did not care at all about Flender's painstaking efforts.

Seeing the hostility Tang San had inadvertently released, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing all frowned.

"Wu Xing is the person who bullied and humiliated me at Dugu Manor last time." Tang San clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth. Murderous intent filled his eyes as though he wished he could skin Wu Xing alive and pull out his tendons.

He would never forget what had happened at Dugu Manor over a month ago. He had never suffered such humiliation before. Not only had he been thoroughly slapped in the face, but in the end, he had even been forced to apologize to that person.

"What happened?" Yu Xiaogang frowned as he suddenly recalled the scene at Dugu Manor a month ago.

At the time, Tang San had been saved, and Yu Xiaogang himself had narrowly escaped death. He had not thought much about what happened before that, nor had he asked.

But now, he realized that Tang San and that young man seemed to have a conflict he knew nothing about.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Tang San said bitterly, "That guy isn't called Ben Yuan. His real name is Wu Xing. Back when Dugu Bo captured me and took me to the manor, that petty man relied on the old fellow backing him up to humiliate me again and again..."

As Tang San explained, he did not notice the expressions of the three girls beside him gradually changing. Ning Rongrong, in particular, looked at him with utter disgust.

(The cuckolding arc begins. More comments, four updates.)

Sneaking Around

This Double Standard Tang San was truly disgusting. He could lie with his eyes wide open. If she did not have the Diary Instance and had not watched the video Wu Xing gave her, she might really have been deceived by him just as in the original story.

Wu Xing had never actively provoked any conflict from beginning to end that time. He had always treated Tang San as a guest of the Dugu Family, never targeting him or voicing any opinion.

Yet Tang San had gone out of his way to get his face slapped, and now he claimed Wu Xing had humiliated him repeatedly. Ning Rongrong finally understood just how hypocritical and double-standard he was. What an eye-opener.

Zhu Zhuqing was also thoroughly disgusted by Tang San at that moment. She had never expected him to spout nonsense and fabricate lies in front of everyone. She had once thought he was a decent person. Thinking about it now made her shudder with revulsion.

As Xiao Wu listened to Tang San continually talk about how Brother Wu Xing had humiliated and targeted him, she felt utterly disappointed. Even the gratitude she had once felt for Tang San's care was gradually disappearing.

Wu Xing had no idea that Tang San was turning the tables on him. After assigning the members for the team battle and discussing their tactics, he noticed a message coming from his Diary.

When he opened it, it was a complaint from Ning Rongrong.

"You big jerk, are you going to abandon me after bullying me? You came to Heaven Dou City and didn't even tell me."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's complaining tone, Wu Xing was somewhat puzzled. He had only arrived in Heaven Dou City that morning. How did this little witch already know?

"How could that be? I miss you too much to abandon you." Although he wondered where Ning Rongrong had heard the news, Wu Xing still sent a message to comfort her.

He still needed her as an informant. Besides, the little witch was so bold. What happened at the auction house last time had suited his tastes perfectly. Before he had had her, how could he easily give her up?

"Hmph. Then why didn't you tell me when you came to Heaven Dou City?" Ning Rongrong replied angrily, her little mouth pouting high.

"Uh, didn't I only arrive in Heaven Dou City this morning? I was planning to tell you tonight. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out." Wu Xing was already well-practiced in dealing with angry young girls.

After all, he had dated several girlfriends in his previous life and had developed quite a few tricks for coaxing girls.

"Liar." Ning Rongrong sent another message, but her pouting lips had already relaxed, replaced by a delighted expression.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?" Oscar noticed the change in Ning Rongrong's expression and approached her with a puzzled look.

Oscar's sudden voice startled Ning Rongrong. It was as if she had been caught cheating, making her heart race. Yet she also found it strangely thrilling. To avoid revealing anything, she struck first.

"Oscar, can't you stop shouting like that? You scared me!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong angry, Oscar was even more confused. But to calm her down, he could only scratch the back of his head foolishly and apologize. "Rongrong, it's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you."

"It's good that you know!" Ning Rongrong said with satisfaction, placing her hands on her hips.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was no longer angry, Oscar immediately let out a sigh of relief. Yet he was still puzzled. Recently, he had noticed that Rongrong was becoming increasingly unwilling to talk to him. Before, although she had ignored his pursuit, she had not become angry at the slightest thing.

Once Ning Rongrong relaxed and saw that no one was paying attention to her, she also let out a breath. Then she opened the Diary Friend List again and saw Wu Xing's question.

"Rongrong, how did you know I came to Heaven Dou City?"

"Of course I know. I'm at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena right now!" Ning Rongrong replied proudly.

Wu Xing was greatly surprised when he saw Ning Rongrong's message. "You came to the Spirit Fighting Arena?"

"Of course." Ning Rongrong was as proud as a white swan. Then she typed another message. "It's not just me. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing are here too, along with that double-standard king Tang San. You have no idea what bad things he just said about you. He disgusted me to death."

Upon confirming that Ning Rongrong was at the Spirit Fighting Arena, Wu Xing was startled again. What a coincidence. But when he saw that the little brat was smearing him, his mind filled with questions.

"Where are you?" Wu Xing typed.

"What do you want to do?" When Ning Rongrong saw Wu Xing asking where she was, her heart began pounding like a startled deer, and she secretly glanced at the people beside her.

"Of course I miss my Rongrong. What else could I want to do?" Wu Xing replied with a grin.

"Pah, you clearly want to bully me." Ning Rongrong spat, yet honestly added, "I'm in the Spirit Fighting Arena's main hall."

"Come to the restroom in Section Fifteen." Seeing the little witch say one thing but mean another, Wu Xing's lips curled into a smug smile.

"Pah~ You bad rogue." Ning Rongrong blushed furiously as she could imagine what would happen next.

After suppressing the strange feelings in her heart, Ning Rongrong spoke to the others. "I... I'm feeling a little unwell. I'm going to the restroom."

"Huh? Rongrong, you're not feeling well?" Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Oscar immediately transformed into a bootlicker and asked with concern.

Ning Rongrong ignored Oscar. She simply informed the others, then headed toward the restroom in Section Nine.

Originally, Oscar had wanted to accompany her, but she refused. Left with no choice, he could only abandon the idea of currying favor with her.

Yu Xiaogang did not say much either. He had brought the little monsters here only for Tang San and Xiao Wu. The other little monsters were not the priority.

When Ning Rongrong followed the signs and reached the restroom in Section Fifteen, she spotted Wu Xing waiting in the distance with a smile.

The moment Ning Rongrong arrived before him, Wu Xing wrapped an arm around her slender waist without another word and kissed her directly.

As he kissed her, his large hand did not forget to knead her soft peaks forcefully.

"Mmnh~"

Ning Rongrong let out a soft moan from the pain.

Wu Xing ignored her soft cry. His hands and mouth worked together, as though he would not stop until he had devoured the little witch before him.

There was no one in Section Fifteen to begin with. Unless the Spirit Fighting Arena was hosting some major festival, this section was unused most of the time, so Wu Xing did not need to worry about being discovered.

"Huff... huff..."

After a long while, the two finally parted. As Ning Rongrong gulped down air, she shot Wu Xing a fierce glare. "You big jerk, were you trying to suffocate me to death?"

"Who told you to be so irresistible, Rongrong? I couldn't hold myself back." Wu Xing chuckled.

"Pah, only a ghost would believe you." Ning Rongrong's face was flushed red, but her heart felt as sweet as honey.

"Tell me, what bad things did Tang San say about me just now?" Wu Xing asked curiously.

It seemed he had not seen Tang San for over a month. Why was that little brat still smearing him behind his back?

At his question, Ning Rongrong's little mouth pouted high, its moist sheen clearly visible.

She did not answer. She merely held out one small hand.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ning Rongrong's gesture, Wu Xing looked utterly confused. For a moment, he did not understand what she meant.

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong's moist red lips pouted even higher as she asked angrily, "Where's my Lollipop?"

Sure enough, men's mouths were all lying ghosts. This hateful bad guy had actually forgotten what he promised her!!!
