Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

After saying that, the three women turned their gazes toward Ye Xingchen, making him feel a little awkward.

He turned back and glanced at them. The beautiful young woman immediately smiled and said,

"Then let's call ourselves the Stunning Tang Sect Combination. There isn't any better name anyway, so we'll use this for now!"

And so, the Stunning Tang Sect Combination was officially formed. Looking at the token in his hand, Ye Xingchen sighed softly.

What would Tang San think if he saw this later?

A moment later, at the arena.

The brightly dressed Host looked at the number plate in his hand, a gleam flashing through his eyes.

He turned and glanced at the audience below, then excitedly announced,

"Dear audience members, we have especially many Soul Masters tonight, and quite a few fresh new faces as well!"

"Let's eagerly await the thrilling battles that will take place tonight! Give them a round of applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the challengers of the Soul Fighting Arena appeared one after another, including the newly registered Ye Xingchen, Tang San, and the others.

"So many new faces this year. Which academy are they from? They look so young, yet they're actually here to compete in the Soul Fighting Arena!"

"Don't look down on them. What if they're really strong? We just need to watch the show and enjoy ourselves!"

"Exactly! Those girls are so pretty. The four of them can't be a couple, can they? That boy is way too lucky! Oh my god!"

Standing on the high platform, Tang San glanced at the token in his hand and sighed inwardly.

When he turned and caught sight of Xiao Wu standing beside Ye Xingchen, the flames of jealousy in his heart grew even stronger.

"Now, please welcome Challenger Number One, the Stunning Tang Sect!"

The brightly dressed Host glanced at the number plate and announced,

"And their opponents are the Hammer Brothers, known as the Invincible Iron Fists!"

Ye Xingchen, who was standing with the others, paused in surprise. Seeing that it was already their turn, he nodded and led the three women to the center of the stage.

His flowing white robes, handsome features, and the breathtaking beauty of the three women instantly drew countless screams.

Under the lights, their team looked even more extravagantly dazzling.

"This year's competitors really are quite high-class! Every one of them is a handsome man or beautiful woman. I wonder if they can take a beating!"

The Host on the stage glanced at Ye Xingchen and the others, smiling faintly as he teased,

"Next up are the Hammer Brothers! This is truly an exciting battle!"

"With two against four, who will win and who will lose? Let's take a look at their win rates!"

As soon as he spoke, the win-rate comparison between the Stunning Tang Sect and the Hammer Brothers appeared on the public screen.

Some spectators who had been planning to bet on the Stunning Tang Sect stopped placing their chips when they saw that Ye Xingchen and the others were competing in the Soul Fighting Arena for the first time.

"They're all newcomers? They haven't won a single match! Even with four against two, they might not win. The Hammer Brothers are seasoned veterans!"

"I'd better bet on the Hammer Brothers. That's safer. If I lose to those four rookies, I'll be furious!"

"Exactly! The four of them are all so pretty. They don't look like they can fight at all, and it's three girls and one boy. Their chances are way too low!"

Amid the crowd's discussions, the Hammer Brothers slowly stepped onto the high platform. Seeing their opponents, the two looked somewhat confused.

The eldest brother smiled and patted his chest.

"Kid, you're so pretty. Are you really planning to protect those three girls all by yourself? This is the first time I've seen a team like this!"

Ye Xingchen remained calm and did not get angry at all.

He looked at the Hammer Brothers, spread his hands slightly, and teased,

"Who wins and who loses is still uncertain. Just don't beg for mercy later."

Hearing that, the Hammer Brothers found it hilarious and burst into laughter.

Ning Rongrong, standing nearby, felt a little displeased. She folded her arms, stepped forward, and mocked them,

"You two are all muscle and no brains. Just wait, you're in for a show. Keep acting arrogant while you still can!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong defend her husband like that, Xiao Wu could not help feeling a trace of envy.

She glanced back at the white-robed figure, an unusual gleam appearing in her eyes.

"Do the three of us even need to make a move? Those two look pretty weak. You should be able to handle them, right?"

With her arms folded, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Hammer Brothers before turning to ask Ye Xingchen,

"If we step in, would we only hold you back?"

Ye Xingchen nodded calmly. Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, he smiled.

"You can just lie down. Leave the damage dealing to me..."

Lie down?

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face instantly flushed. She looked at the white-robed figure before her, a trace of shyness appearing in her eyes.

"Are both sides ready? We're about to begin!"

"Whether you win or lose, I hope you'll give it your all. After all, those are the rules of the Soul Fighting Arena!"

The brightly dressed Host glanced at both sides, then soared high into the air and vacated the center of the stage.

With a wave of his hand, the duel officially began.

The Hammer Brothers smiled and charged forward without hesitation, hefting their massive hammers.

With a lift of their arms, they unleashed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer at Ye Xingchen!

"Brat, aren't you going to dodge? Do you really think you're something special? If I don't teach you a proper lesson today, you won't know your place!"

"That's right! Do you think having a pretty face makes you worthy of protecting girls? With that look of yours, you don't deserve it!"

Hearing the Hammer Brothers' mockery, Ye Xingchen, standing as still as a mountain, found it rather amusing. As the two massive hammers closed in, he slowly raised a hand, and the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul appeared above his head.

He glanced at them and said blandly,

"You two think you can break through my defense? How laughable."

Before the Hammer Brothers could react, their great hammers had barely approached Ye Xingchen when a rebounding force surged through their arms, sending them flying back dozens of meters.

The two were stunned and immediately looked up. Above Ye Xingchen's head floated a transparent cauldron.

"What terrifying defensive power. So you do have some skill after all!"

Ye Xingchen smiled faintly as he watched the Hammer Brothers climb back up from the ground, feeling slightly bored.

Their hammers had not even touched the surface of the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul. They had merely been repelled by the peculiar force formed from the Spiritual Power and Soul Power he had mobilized within his body.

This was another defensive technique he had developed through his recent research.

Below the rank of Soul Elder, almost no one could come within three feet of him.

"My husband is so handsome! Why aren't you two running your mouths now? I didn't see your hammers hit anyone!"

"Even if I just stand here, I can still beat you. Are you angry?"

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong beamed. Looking at the Hammer Brothers, she mocked them without hesitation.

The Hammer Brothers' expressions turned ugly. Having underestimated their opponent at first, they had now suffered the consequences.

Looking at the white-robed figure before them, they immediately grew serious.

As their Martial Souls slowly erupted, an extremely powerful Soul Power coated their great hammers.

"Brat, we haven't lost yet. Tell your woman to shut up!"

After saying that, the Hammer Brothers rushed in again. The Soul Power gathered around them swept toward Ye Xingchen like raging wind and crashing waves.

Under that powerful pressure, Ye Xingchen, standing unmoving in place, looked especially slender.

The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul above him also began to emit a faint glow, standing firm like a lighthouse amid a tsunami.

Outside the arena, Dai Mubai watched Ye Xingchen fight two opponents alone, a look of amazement on his face.

He had fought the Hammer Brothers before. Their strength was formidable, and even he would not have found it easy to defeat them.

Yet seeing Ye Xingchen deal with them so effortlessly, he could not help exclaiming,

"If Brother Ye obtains his third Soul Ring, he may become the strongest Soul Elder!"

"With his current strength, every time he advances a rank, he'll probably be the strongest among those of the same rank. This is simply impossible to deal with!"

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tang San, and the others, who stood with their arms folded, showed traces of admiration when they heard that.

Tang San especially understood what it meant to be heaven's chosen, as a transmigrator himself. To him, Ye Xingchen was the heaven's chosen of this Douluo Continent.

"Brother Ye is simply too strong. With strength like his, he definitely won't remain confined to some small place in the future!"

"Maybe he'll even earn a place in Spirit Hall someday. Then our Shrek Academy will truly rise to prominence!"

Ma Hongjun shook his head slightly as he looked at the white-robed figure and praised him.

"Spirit Hall? Forget it. If we're from Shrek Academy, I'm afraid Spirit Hall won't accept us."

Oscar shook his head dismissively. Knowing some of the inside details, he sighed and smiled.

At the same time, in the forest of Shrek Academy.

A Red-Robed Figure quietly arrived. Looking at the academy in the distance, a trace of gloom appeared on his face.

"So you're hiding here..."

"My son will not have died in vain. Father will avenge you..."

After muttering those words to himself, the Red-Robed Figure was about to approach Shrek Academy when a strand of Sword Qi suddenly appeared before him.

He reacted with a cold snort and immediately retreated a hundred meters. Looking at that strand of Sword Qi, he said warily,

"Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It has been a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here!"

As soon as he spoke, Chen Xin, standing atop the hilt of a sword like an immortal, slowly descended from the sky and arrived before the Red-Robed Figure.

"Ci Xue, why have you come here?"

Hearing Chen Xin's question, Blood Stab Douluo smiled. Somewhat wary, he clasped his hands behind his back and replied blandly,

"What? Since when did Spirit Hall need to explain its actions to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"There's no such rule, is there? What do you think, Sword Douluo?"

Chen Xin's expression remained calm, but his brows furrowed slightly. Seeing Ci Xue, who should have been working in Spirit Hall, suddenly appear at Shrek Academy made him feel uneasy.

He shook his head and waved a hand. A strand of Sword Qi immediately appeared in his palm.

"Since you refuse to speak, I'll beat the answer out of you!"

"I wonder if you can withstand a single strike from me!"

Seeing Sword Douluo act so unreasonably, Ci Xue could not help feeling alarmed.

He knew very well that the man before him was a powerful level ninety-seven Super Douluo. Compared to him, they were worlds apart.

Gritting his teeth, Ci Xue said,

"There's no need for this, Sword Douluo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall have had no unpleasant conflicts. I came here to carry out a mission, and I have no obligation to explain it to you!"

"If you continue like this, you may trigger a war between our two great sects. I hope you will stop interfering with my affairs in the future!"

After saying that, Ci Xue transformed into a streak of red light and vanished into the forest.

Chen Xin, with his hands behind his back, shook his head slightly as he watched the departing figure, confusion flashing in his eyes.

After all, he knew that Ci Xue's son seemed to have been killed by him personally in the Frozen Forest.

Now that Ci Xue had come to Shrek Academy, he was clearly here for revenge. As for the Spirit Hall mission he mentioned, Chen Xin considered it complete nonsense.

Chen Xin shook his head, his face frosty, then transformed into a streak of Sword Qi and left.
