Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

Dai Mubai's opponent was at the same rank as him and was also a Defense Type Soul Master. He would not be able to defeat him anytime soon.

Zhu Zhuqing had just finished her match. Her opponent was a level 26 Agility Attack Type Great Soul Master.

Yet her opponent's martial soul was actually a little white mouse.

The outcome went without saying...

After Zhu Zhuqing finished her match, she dragged Zhong Li away...

They left...

The First Eunuch in Douluo History (Fifth Update)

Previously:

After Zhu Zhuqing finished her match, she invited Zhong Li out for a stroll...

The scene returned to the contestants' waiting area.

"What?! How did Tang San suffer such severe injuries?!"

After dealing with his opponent, Dai Mubai had just reached the waiting area when he saw Xiao Wu lying on a chair. There was a mark on her forehead as though she had been struck by some sharp weapon, though the rest of her body seemed fine.

Tang San, however, was actually lying in a pool of blood! There were barely any parts of his body that were uninjured!

Dai Mubai was stunned. Had Tang San run into one of those contestants who liked to cripple their opponents?

But he had entered a Gambling Fight!

"Who beat Tang San and Xiao Wu into this state? Is this still a match? He was trying to kill them!"

Dai Mubai's fury flared at the sight. He truly could not understand it. It was only a Gambling Fight—was there really any need to beat someone so badly?

Zhao Yun and Ma Hongjun also arrived at that moment. After the two of them had a pathetic little scuffle, Zhao Yun conceded.

Although Ma Hongjun was fat, he was an agile fat man. Zhao Yun could not hit him. They knew each other and attended the same academy, so a brief exchange was enough...

"Damn! How did Third Brother and Xiao Wu get beaten up like this? Third Brother's Blue Silver Bind should have worked against a Soul Elder, right?"

Zhao Yun cursed, unable to understand. He looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, then suddenly noticed something. He said in shock:

"Third Brother, h-he seems to have suffered a very serious injury down there too..."

Wait, was that something he could say in public? Couldn't he see that neither Dai Mubai nor Flender had said anything?

Ma Hongjun muttered:

"Who would've thought? Before I could use the knife, Tang San got there first..."

He had only met Tang San and Xiao Wu that day, so he did not feel particularly close to them. Still, as fellow Shrek Academy students, he felt somewhat angry.

Dai Mubai suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing. Zhong Li should have been watching the matches, so why had he not come over?

"Dean! Hurry and invite Zhong Li over! Last time, when I was... no, his healing abilities are extremely strong! They're the best among all the Healing Types I've ever seen! Get him..."

As Dai Mubai spoke, he nearly let it slip. He still had some pride! He simply could not bring himself to say that a Support Type Soul Ancestor had nearly beaten him to death.

"What?"

Flender had no idea that Zhong Li possessed a skill capable of healing injuries. Li Yusong had mentioned it to him, but he had been vague about Zhong Li's Third Spirit Skill.

Since no one had been injured during the assessment, Flender had thought Zhong Li's Third Spirit Skill treated the mental damage caused after going berserk.

"That's right, Dean! Big Brother Zhong Li's healing ability is incredibly powerful! He's in the private room..."

Zhao Yun suddenly remembered that Zhong Li really did have healing abilities.

Dai Mubai had practically been dying back then, yet Zhong Li had saved him.

It was simply that Zhong Li's support buffs were so powerful that Zhao Yun had unconsciously forgotten about his healing abilities.

"But while you were still competing, Zhu Zhuqing finished her match first and left the Soul Fighting Arena with Zhong Li!"

Flender explained why Zhong Li was not there.

Dai, Ma, and Zhao: "..."

Of all times to go on a date, why did it have to be now...

"What are you standing around for? Waiting for food to be served? Hurry up and find them! I'll stay here. I've already sent word to a Healing Type friend. He happens to be in Suotuo City and should be on his way..."

Flender roared at the three of them. Tang San was his old brother's disciple! If something happened to him, Flender would be too ashamed to face his old brother.

He had just paid for the Healing Type Spirit Masters at the Soul Fighting Arena to stabilize Tang San's injuries. Otherwise, Tang San's condition might have worsened! This had made the already impoverished Shrek Academy even worse off.

Unfortunately, the arena's Healing Type Spirit Master was only a Soul Elder. He could do nothing about Tang San's injuries beyond stabilizing them.

As for Flender's friend, he was a level 52 Healing Type Soul King. Flender had helped him back then...

"Right, right, right! Let's hurry and find Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing. Fatty and I will search Suotuo City. As for you, Zhao Yun, you haven't been here long and aren't familiar with Suotuo City, so go back to the academy and check. If they aren't at the academy, then you..."

Dai Mubai understood the severity of the situation. As the eldest brother, he hurriedly assigned everyone their tasks.

What were Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing doing at this time?

Let us split the scene in two.

"Boss, at first glance, your Grilled Fish has color, fragrance, and flavor, but according to universal reason, you've added too many peppers. It makes the fish lose its natural taste. You should do this, this, and then that, that..."

At that moment, Zhong Li was in the kitchen of a place called Li's Grilled Fish Shop, instructing the chef, who was also the owner.

The owner had initially wanted to lose his temper, but he forcibly held it in. This was a Spirit Master, sir! He was only an ordinary person—how could he dare refuse the man's "guidance"?

"Right, right, right... Everything you say is right..."

Zhu Zhuqing sat off to the side, watching Zhong Li instruct the chef in the kitchen. There was light in her eyes.

After swiftly defeating her opponent, she had returned to the private room and invited Zhong Li out for Grilled Fish.

Under Supervisor Ao's twitching expression, Zhong Li had actually agreed!

"No, any one of my meals could buy enough Grilled Fish to last a year or two, and you won't eat it! But when someone invites you for Grilled Fish, you... Could it be that he's sick of it? As expected..."

Supervisor Ao decided that the next time Zhong Li came, he would prepare some street food for him!

"Boss, how about this? I'll grill the fish myself, but I won't short you on the soul coins you're owed."

Zhong Li asked tentatively. If the owner was unwilling, he could not simply force the matter.

"Ah! You want to do it yourself, sir?"

The owner felt as though he had been slapped in the face. It was one thing for Zhong Li to come into the kitchen and point things out, but he actually wanted to do it himself. Wasn't that a slap to Li Si's face?

I run a Grilled Fish shop!

Still, he did not dare refuse and hurriedly said:

"Fine, fine, fine! Please do it yourself!"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly. A man who could cook was truly too charming. Most importantly, he could cook fish! She just did not know how it would taste. If it did not taste good later, what should she say?

As she thought about it, waves of Grilled Fish fragrance drifted from the kitchen, making her swallow.

"It smells so good. The taste shouldn't be too bad, right?"

At Suotuo Great Soul Arena, Flender's friend had arrived as well.

After examining Tang San's injuries, his expression became somewhat unsightly.

"Flender, I can treat the injuries on your student's body. But as for that two- or three-inch thing of his, this old man truly has no solution! Half of it has already been severed, and the other half... Even those two have been ruined... It can only be cut off."

"Did your student encounter an enemy at the Soul Fighting Arena? Such a vicious hand... This old man is truly powerless. Healing can only heal wounds; it cannot bring the dead back to life or regrow flesh and bones. Do you think perhaps..."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Flender's expression changed drastically...

Xiao Wu's Third Sister? (Bonus Update for Lord Never Show Mercy, Sixth Update)

Li's Grilled Fish Shop was a century-old establishment in Suotuo City.

Today, it welcomed an uninvited guest!

Standing beside Zhong Li, the owner felt as though his face had been slapped swollen by this Spirit Master and noble before him!

Was he here to eat? He was here to wreck the place!

A century-old secret recipe! The efforts of six generations!

Yet it could not compare to a casually suggested method from a pampered noble!

Ancestors! Li's Grilled Fish Shop is finished!

Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing still did not know what had happened at the Soul Fighting Arena.

Even if he knew, the corners of Zhong Li's mouth would probably rise slightly.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she might cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing. Who told Xiao Wu to speak badly of Zhong Li!

Sometimes, women were simply that unreasonable.

As time passed, the fish on the grill had cooked.

"Boss, as thanks, this fish is for you."

Zhong Li calmly pointed at one of the five fish.

"Ah! Th-this is too kind, sir! Not only did you let me see how to grill fish properly and how to make seasonings... Thank you so much!"

The owner was so "moved" that he was nearly in tears!

The fish sold at Li's Grilled Fish Shop were not very large. As Spirit Masters, they expended a considerable amount of energy, so one fish per person might not even be enough.

This was precisely the meaning of the saying that scholars could be poor, but martial artists could not.

Zhong Li placed four grilled fish on a large plate, which was just big enough to hold them.

He carried the plate over to where Zhu Zhuqing was sitting.

"Try it. It should taste good."

"Mhm!"

Zhu Zhuqing answered softly, her face slightly flushed.

She did not know where she had found the courage to invite Zhong Li out for food.

Yet Zhong Li had followed her without any hesitation.

Zhu Zhuqing was extremely nervous now, as though a little deer were wildly bumping about in her heart.

Zhong Li looked at Zhu Zhuqing, feeling baffled. What was wrong with her today?

After watching those weaklings peck at each other in the Soul Fighting Arena, Zhong Li had already wanted to leave. Just then, Zhu Zhuqing returned and invited him out for food...

Zhu Zhuqing: In the end, I gave my heart to the wrong person!

At this time, there were still two handsome young men in Suotuo City, searching for the two of them like headless flies.

Another one was still on the road back to Shrek Academy.

"Th-Third Brother! Dean, what happened to Third Brother?"

Xiao Wu, who had fainted, finally woke up.

The moment she woke, she saw an old man holding a knife and operating on that part of her Third Brother...

She was so frightened that she nearly fainted again.

"Xiao Wu, don't panic. Tang San isn't in any danger. He'll be fine after a while."

Flender did not know how to explain it. Xiao Wu was a girl, so he could not directly say: Tang San's thing was gone!

He had never expected that the knife he kept in his Storage Soul Tool for Ma Hongjun would end up being used on Tang San...

The old man suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He activated his Spirit Skill and began treating Tang San. The final purple Soul Ring among his one white, two yellow, and two purple Soul Rings lit up.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Light of Healing."

His martial soul was the Silver Scepter. After using his Fifth Spirit Skill, green light emerged from the Silver Scepter and shone onto Tang San.

Tang San's injuries slowly began to heal...

"Flender! The operation and treatment were both successful. After this, this old man will owe you nothing!"
