Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

"Dai Mubai, did you know that just moments ago, I was being hunted by people sent by Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi?"

"Dai Mubai, did you know that after you fled Star Luo City, no matter what others said about you, I believed you were lying low and training diligently?"

"Dai Mubai, if you want to die, you scumbag, don't drag me down with you. I want to live."

Zhu Zhuqing did not continue. There was no need.

She only wanted to live.

But as a daughter of the Zhu Family, she had no choice.

Did she have feelings for Dai Mubai?

No.

But only by staying with this scumbag before her did she have a chance to survive.

Dai Mubai was left dumbfounded by her questions.

No one knew his own circumstances better than he did.

Dai Weisi was several years older than him.

And he himself was merely part of the traditional process Dai Weisi needed to ascend.

Once he realized he had no hope at all, he fled the Star Luo Empire alone in despair, leaving Zhu Zhuqing behind.

He came to Suotuo City, to Shrek Academy.

Had he trained? He had.

Otherwise, he would not have reached level 37 at fifteen.

But more of his time had been spent indulging in wine, women, and pleasure...

"Stop thinking about it. By common sense, this young lady is right. You really are scum."

Zhong Li spoke from the side.

Despite standing among the crowd and being the most striking one there, he had been treated like air for so long.

If he did not show off a little, everyone would forget who the protagonist was.

Dai Mubai had been questioned and insulted by Zhu Zhuqing, but having been caught red-handed, he did not dare lose his temper.

Then he suddenly heard that remark from beside him.

Without thinking, he roared toward the source of the voice:

"This is my family business! What the hell does it have to do with you?!"

Zhu Zhuqing recognized Zhong Li. If not for him, she might not have escaped.

"Slap!"

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Zhong Li raised his hand and sent Dai Mubai flying with a single slap.

Dai Mubai's body slammed into a nearby wall, where it was practically embedded.

The kind that could not be pried off.

Zhong Daoming and the Ice Fire Elders, who had been secretly protecting Zhong Li, nearly swallowed their tongues at the same time.

"Holy shit! This kid is terrifying!"

"Without using any Soul Power at all, his physical strength alone rivals a Twenty-Thousand-Year soul beast! Ancestor, the Zhong Family has produced a monster!"

All these years, Zhong Li had never had a chance to make a move!

Even when hunting soul beasts, the Zhong Family had prepared half-dead ones for him in advance.

Where would he have found an opportunity to display his strength?

As time passed, more and more of Morax's power belonged to him.

Even without using elemental power or Soul Power, Zhong Li's strength had reached a level ordinary people could never imagine!

He had held back on that slap and had not used his full strength.

Otherwise, Dai Mubai would never have had the chance to be sent flying...

Even so, his second grandfather and the two Elders were utterly shocked!

It could only be said that they had protected Zhong Li too well over the years.

Even Zhu Zhuqing's cold face showed bewilderment, her small mouth slightly open...

Tang San and the other two knew Zhong Li.

They were not particularly close, but they did attend the same academy.

Xiao Wu had just wanted to greet Zhong Li when, before she could call out to him, she saw him slap Dai Mubai—a level 37 Soul Elder—straight into the air.

The kind that could not even be pried off the wall!

Brother, you were an Innate Full Soul Power Support Type Spirit Master!

A role model for Support Type Spirit Masters!

Buffing teammates, healing teammates, removing abnormal conditions—those were the things you were supposed to do!

It was also the first time the three of them had seen Zhong Li make a move.

During sparring matches at Nuoding Academy, they had all been one-on-one duels between Spirit Masters.

Support Type Spirit Masters did not need to participate. Healing Types were Support Types as well.

At the start of school, Zhong Li's essay, "My Soul Saint Father," had made an impression. Those children had been young, but they were not stupid!

Go trouble Zhong Li?

Before his father even made a move, someone would probably rush to deal with you first.

Xiao Wu ran over at that moment.

"Zhong Li, you..."

When Zhong Li saw Xiao Wu come before him, he instinctively took two steps back.

"Only those without strength reason with others. After becoming a Spirit Master, you do not need to reason with idiots."

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded, finding it very reasonable.

Zhong Li had not coerced them!

Seeing that the hotel wall had been damaged, the manager wondered how many Gold Soul Coins it would take to repair it!

While grieving over the cost, he hurried forward to check on Dai Mubai.

Spirit Masters could fight, but no one could die in the hotel.

If someone died, the Rose Hotel's reputation would be ruined. Who would come spend money there afterward?

But as soon as he stepped forward, he noticed Zhong Li's attire. After taking a careful second look, he silently retreated behind the crowd and no longer concerned himself with whether Dai Mubai lived or died. No one knew what he was thinking.

The owner of the Rose Hotel wore clothes identical to Zhong Li's!

Dai Mubai was still conscious. The intense pain had awakened him from his stupor.

He happened to hear the conversation between Xiao Wu and Zhong Li.

Too powerful! This man was simply too powerful!

He was absolutely not someone a Spirit Master of Dai Mubai's level could contend with!

He felt even stronger than Teacher Zhao, Zhao Wuji!

Without using Martial Soul Possession, a casual strike had left him gravely wounded and on the verge of death!

Dai Mubai coughed twice, and blood flowed endlessly from his mouth as though it cost nothing.

If he was not treated soon, he might really die.

Seeing Dai Mubai in such a miserable state, Zhu Zhuqing was not saddened at all. Instead, a trace of pleasure flashed through her heart!

But Dai Mubai could not die yet. If he died...

She would have to die too!

Ignoring everyone else's opinions, Zhu Zhuqing said to Zhong Li:

"Can you save him? He can't die yet."

She could see that without Zhong Li's consent, Dai Mubai was as good as dead today!

Had they not seen how the manager took one look at Zhong Li and stopped caring about the matter?

Revival Wind

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, even Tang San was pulled from his thoughts.

He still remembered what Dai Mubai had said to him earlier.

"Does my Blue Silver Bind really carry a mental attack?"

Zhong Li had not truly intended to kill Dai Mubai either.

What kind of person Dai Mubai was had nothing to do with him.

He had merely felt sorry for Zhu Zhuqing and, unable to bear it, given Dai Mubai a slap.

"Misjudgment. Spirit Masters really are fragile when they do not use Martial Soul Possession."

Zhu Zhuqing still did not know that Zhong Li was a Support Type Spirit Master.

She only hoped he would spare Dai Mubai so she could find someone to treat him.

"Young lady, do you truly wish to save him?"

Zhong Li was now around six feet three, with the handsome appearance of a young man.

When he called Zhu Zhuqing "young lady," only Tang San and the other two found it somewhat strange.

No one else found it unusual.

Zhong Li's voice was also deeply reassuring, filling Zhu Zhuqing with a sense of security.

"Wish?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not feel that way. Seeing Dai Mubai grievously wounded and near death, she instead felt a strange thrill!

"I... I have a reason why I must save him. Can you spare him?"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke gently to Zhong Li.

Her tone was completely different from the way she had spoken to Dai Mubai.

At that moment, Dai Mubai wished he could die immediately!

His fiancée!

She was pleading with the person who had beaten him half to death!

His dignity as a man had been mercilessly trampled, leaving him humiliated and enraged to the point of wanting to die!

Gravely wounded, he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

This hurt him even more than when Dai Weisi had forced him to flee the Star Luo Empire.

"Very well! As you wish!"

Seeing Zhong Li agree to spare him, a spark of hope rose in Dai Mubai's despairing heart.

Who would be willing to die if they could live?

But why, now that Zhong Li had agreed to spare him, was he still releasing his Martial Soul?

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple—four Soul Rings slowly appeared beneath Zhong Li's feet as he released his Wind Element God's Eye Martial Soul. (His true Soul Ring colors were purple, purple, black, black, black, black.)
