Blood Sword Asura! Shocking Water

Lu Chen's fingertips gently caressed the rabbit ears on Xiao Wu's head, finding the texture even more comfortable.

Xiao Wu's pair of light pink, fluffy long ears stood straight up, the warm sensation from their tips seeping into her heart.

This comfortable feeling made Xiao Wu can't help but snuggle closer to Lu Chen's hand.

The host snapped out of his surprise and announced loudly, "Imperial Dou Team versus Ice Team! Imperial Dou Team wins!"

In Skywater Academy's spectator lounge, Leng Shuang stared at the Imperial Dou Team in shock.

She was well aware of the Ice Team's strength. With the Ice Spirit's assistance, even she might not be a match for Frost Tiger Bingchuan. Yet, that "Blood Sword Asura" was able to suppress Bingchuan steadily.

Because of Lu Chen, an Imperial Dou Team with three Soul Elders managed to defeat the Ice Team, whose members were all Soul Ancestors or above, and included two Soul Kings.

Shui Yue'er watched Lu Chen and Xiao Wu on the Douhun Platform and murmured, "So strange... I feel like I've seen these two somewhere before..."

Leng Shuang pondered, tapping her index finger lightly on the table in front of her.

Suddenly, her fingertip paused, and a vague name flashed through her mind. She spoke, "Imperial Dou? Could that 'Blood Sword Asura' be... Lu Chen!"

Hearing Leng Shuang's words, Shui Yue'er's memory of a person slowly merged with the Lu Chen below.

She grabbed Shui Bing'er's sleeve beside her and exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, that Lu Chen is the one who saved you."

Shui Bing'er gazed at Lu Chen with her blue eyes, murmuring, "Lu Chen? He's the one who saved me a few days ago... Is he really a Soul King?"

The spotlights on the Douhun Arena gradually dimmed. Lu Chen turned, pulling Xiao Wu along, and led the Imperial Dou Team members out of the main Douhun Arena back to the resting room.

After a short rest, Qin Ming began to arrange the upcoming two-on-two Soul Fighting Competition.

Xiao Wu swayed Lu Chen's hand and pouted coquettishly, "Lu Chen, I want to participate in the two-on-two Soul Fighting with you."

Lu Chen patted Xiao Wu's head and said, "I'm afraid not. Pairing you with Yan Zi will help your growth the most."

Seeing that her coaxing didn't work, Xiao Wu simply sat down on Lu Chen's lap, her eyes slightly reddening, her nose wrinkling slightly.

She said pitifully, "But... but you said... you would always be with me..."

Lu Chen looked at Xiao Wu's natural acting and patted her shoulder, saying, "For your growth, I won't agree to this!"

"Alright Xiao Wu, Lu Chen is already immune to this move of yours."

Dugu Yan couldn't stand it any longer. She reached out and pulled Xiao Wu away, speaking in a big sister tone, "Lu Chen is right. Currently, only you and I are Soul Ancestors in the Imperial Dou Team. Our combination is the best."

Seeing that Lu Chen hadn't budged, Xiao Wu leaned against Dugu Yan and said, "Then I'll team up with Yan Zi. Let's call our combination the 'Pink Green Combination', okay?"

Dugu Yan looked at the instantly lively Xiao Wu and smiled, saying, "Whatever you want."

Others in the resting room also paired up successively:

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling teamed up for the Soul Fighting, Yu Feng and Shi Mo teamed up, and Yu Tianheng and Shi Mo teamed up.

After they went to participate in the duo Soul Fighting, only Lu Chen and Osler were left in the resting room.

Lu Chen and Osler exchanged a smile and slowly said, "It seems you and I can only participate in one-on-one Soul Fighting."

Osler nodded, showing no dissatisfaction.

As Lu Chen and Osler walked out of the resting room, they saw Leng Shuang approaching with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

"Lu Chen!"

Shui Yue'er saw Lu Chen and waved enthusiastically.

Shui Bing'er, seeing her sister's enthusiastic demeanor, knew that Shui Yue'er was infatuated again.

Leng Shuang, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er arrived in front of Lu Chen.

Shui Bing'er gazed at Lu Chen and said, "That time in the forest, thank you... thank you for saving me."

Shui Bing'er had intended to say "Thank you, senior, for saving me," but she then remembered that Lu Chen was younger than her, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "It was just a small effort, no need to take it to heart."

After speaking, he took Osler to register for the solo Soul Fighting.

Leng Shuang looked in the direction Lu Chen had left and asked Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, Lu Chen is probably going to participate in the solo Soul Fighting, right?"

Shui Bing'er nodded, and as if thinking of something, she exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, you don't mean..."

A smile appeared on Leng Shuang's cold and frosty face. She didn't say anything more, just turned and left with the two of them.

At the solo Soul Fighting registration.

Lu Chen handed the "Blood Sword Asura" Soul Fighting badge to a staff member.

Osler asked curiously, "Captain, do you know people from Skywater Academy?"

Because Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were wearing Skywater Academy uniforms, Osler naturally recognized their identities.

Lu Chen nodded, then roughly told Osler about his and Xiao Wu's encounter with the Skywater Academy group.

"Captain, you're not interested in Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, are you?"

Osler raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of teasing, "Sister Xiao Wu, Yan Zi, and Zhu Zhuqing probably won't agree, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen heavily patted Osler's shoulder with his right hand and said, "Osler, I thought you were a quiet person, but I didn't expect your thoughts to be so wild!"

"Am I that kind of person, Lu Chen? I've only met them twice, do you think that's possible?"

Osler felt Lu Chen made sense. Lu Chen was indeed not that kind of "playboy."

Just as the Staff Member was about to hand the "Blood Sword Asura" soul fighting badge to Lu Chen, A middle-aged man with a full beard suddenly walked over quickly, reaching out to stop the Staff Member.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the Staff Member said respectfully, "Supervisor Bruce!"

Bruce waved his hand at the Staff Member, "You can go. I'll handle the soul fighting arrangements for these two."

After the Staff Member left, Bruce spoke to Lu Chen, "Respected Soul Master, your performance in the team soul fight just now was outstanding. According to the rules of our Soul Fighting Arena, I will assign you an opponent of comparable strength, so as to be worthy of your level."

Lu Chen took the soul fighting badge from Bruce's hand. Although he was surprised, he didn't say anything. He could feel that Bruce meant no harm.

When Lu Chen and Osler returned to the resting room, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan had already finished their pair soul fight.

Seeing Lu Chen return, Xiao Wu, like a little rabbit returning to its nest, clung to Lu Chen, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said happily, "Lu Chen, Yan Zi and I defeated two level forty-nine Soul Masters..."

Lu Chen rubbed the crown of Xiao Wu's head dotingly, "Xiao Wu, you're amazing."

Pleased with Lu Chen's praise, Xiao Wu released him and sat obediently beside him, constantly sharing details about the just-concluded soul fighting competition.
