Bad Reviews? Not Listening!

"Bad reviews? Not listening!"

Chen Lang knew at once that the Ghost Tiger had cursed him viciously.

He stopped holding back. The strongest fourth Soul Ring behind him flashed, and his fourth Soul Skill, Army Breaker Slash, was suddenly unleashed.

Fourth Soul Skill: Army Breaker Slash. Upon activating this skill, immediately enter a Super Armor state lasting 3 seconds. During this time, all control effects such as stuns, restraints, and pulls are ignored, allowing the user to launch a slash with unstoppable momentum.

The slash dealt 350% base damage and could shatter defensive skills weaker than the user's Soul Power. It also inflicted the "Army Breaker" mark upon targets it hit.

For the next 5 seconds, enemies bearing the mark took 30% more damage from the protagonist's other attacks, while their movement speed was reduced by 20%, greatly weakening their combat ability.

Chen Lang's body was covered in a layer of golden light as he entered the Super Armor state. Right afterward, his third Soul Ring also lit up, and his third Soul Skill, Void Splitting Sword Array, activated at the same time.

Third Soul Skill: Void Splitting Sword Array. Insert the Seven Kill Sword into the ground, causing a silver sword array to spread outward from the sword. Within the array's range, dozens of rotating Soul Power flying swords instantly formed.

The flying swords automatically locked onto enemies and attacked. Each flying sword dealt 150% base damage. The sword array lasted 5 seconds; during that time, enemies entering it had their movement speed reduced by 30% and suffered continuous attacks from the flying swords.

Because the Soul Rings' cultivation had increased, the damage dealt by these two skills had risen considerably as well.

Especially after the fourth Soul Skill, Army Breaker Slash, placed the "Army Breaker" effect above the Ghost Tiger's head, the flying swords formed from Chen Lang's third Soul Skill dealt even greater damage.

In an instant, the Ghost Tiger was covered in countless wounds and bloody holes pierced through by the flying swords. It was no match for Chen Lang at all, because Featherweight Fighter I had also tripled Chen Lang's Soul Skill damage!

Forget a four-thousand-year Soul Beast comparable to a Soul Ancestor—even if a Soul King came, they might not gain any advantage against Chen Lang.

Boom!

Before long, the Ghost Tiger, which had been so ferocious moments ago, crashed to the ground beneath Chen Lang's relentless assault, its eyes filled with unwillingness. At the same time, a purple Soul Ring floated out.

"Looks like my combat strength is even greater than I imagined."

Chen Lang put away the Seven Kill Sword in his hand and muttered to himself.

Dugu Yan, standing nearby, was completely stunned.

That was a four-thousand-year Soul Beast. It had died after just a few sword strikes...

Even the power of a thousand-year Soul Skill shouldn't have been this great, right?

Dugu Yan thought of her own third Soul Skill, which also came from a thousand-year Soul Ring, but its power was nowhere near his.

"Little sister, you weren't scared into tears, were you?"

Seeing Dugu Yan standing there like a wooden statue, Chen Lang teased her with a smug look.

"Get lost! You're the one who cried!"

The moment Dugu Yan saw Chen Lang's smile, she felt that this brat truly deserved a beating.

But when she recalled the immense strength he had displayed just now, she could only grit her teeth and glare at him fiercely, as though she wanted to beat him up with her eyes.

"Let's go, little sister. Don't delay my cultivation. Big brother's time is very precious, you know." Chen Lang resumed his carefree manner, calling her little sister over and over.

"You little brat, you're clearly younger than me! Who are you calling little sister? Call me big sister!" Dugu Yan's teeth itched with rage.

"In this world, the stronger one is big brother."

"Pah! The older one is big sister!"

"So you know you're old?"

"Chen Lang, I'm going to kill you!"

"..."

The two bickered with each other. Of course, it could also be said that Chen Lang was one-sidedly "bullying" Dugu Yan with his words, angering her until she ground her teeth and kept waving her fists to threaten him.

"Look at that. So youthful, so wonderful."

Sword Douluo, who had finished drinking, watched his grandson bicker with Dugu Yan from the air. His face was full of envy, along with a trace of nostalgia.

"..."

Poison Douluo's mouth twitched as he watched Dugu Yan get so angry from Chen Lang's retorts.

Wonderful my ass!

Still, the boy was excellent in every way. Why did his mouth have to be...

Soon, Dugu Yan and Chen Lang arrived at the cliff above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Before them lay an inverted-cone-shaped valley. The mountaintop where they stood was at the valley's edge, and thick heat billowed up from below, carrying a faint sulfurous smell.

"Stinky little brother, this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It's filled with deadly poison. Call me big sister, and I'll go down with you. How about it?" Dugu Yan tilted her head toward Chen Lang, mischief glinting in her bright eyes.

"No need."

Chen Lang's gaze was calm as he leaped straight down, then shouted, "Sword, come!"

"You little brat!"

Sword Douluo could not help laughing as he scolded him. His Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword, flew from his hand and steadily caught Chen Lang, then carried him down into the valley.

"..."

Poison Douluo's mouth twitched as well. So "Sword, come" meant Sword Douluo was coming.

But seeing how confident Chen Lang was, Poison Douluo could not help asking, "Can your grandson sense that you're here?"

Sword Douluo merely smiled and did not explain further.

Even he could not see through his precious grandson.

But if he said that aloud, people might think his precious grandson was too calculating.

As Dugu Yan watched that graceful figure flying on the sword, the scene of Chen Lang killing the Ghost Tiger suddenly surfaced in her mind. Her heart gave an unexpected flutter in that instant.

It seemed that this little brat's eyes were always filled with confidence and composure that did not match his age, giving him a distinctive aura.

It was precisely that distinctive aura that filled Dugu Yan with curiosity about him.

Yet she did not know that when a girl became curious about a boy, it was when she began to slowly fall for him.

"It'd be nice if this little brat were a little older..."

Dugu Yan unconsciously muttered the words, but when she came to her senses, her face immediately flushed red. "Pah, this brat isn't even nine yet. What am I thinking?"

"But as his big sister, it's only normal for me to go down and see whether he's in danger, right?"

Inside the valley.

Chen Lang looked at the blooming exotic flowers and rare herbs before him, as well as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his eyes full of excitement. "All these treasures belong to me now. Tang San probably won't be so outstanding afterward, right?"

"Achoo!"

Tang San, who had obtained his second Soul Ring and was preparing to return to the academy, suddenly sneezed. Yu Xiaogang, beside him, could not help asking, "Xiao San, don't tell me you've caught a cold?"

Tang San touched his forehead and found that it was not particularly hot, so he shook his head. "No."

"It's just that I have the same feeling Teacher had before. I feel like someone is always about to stab me in the back."

"What? You have that feeling too?"
