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

"What the hell are you, fatty? You really think you're something special? Believe it or not, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

"That's right. A toad that doesn't know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth! Today, I'll let you see how formidable I am!"

"Why waste words with them? Beat them up! We outnumber them—I refuse to believe we can't teach this bunch of trash a lesson!"

The Canghui Academy instructor standing before the students chuckled as he looked at the few of them and mocked, "Shrek Academy? Never heard of it. Looks like another small academy from some unknown backwater. You dare disrespect our academy? We have to teach you a lesson today!"

After saying that, the Canghui Academy instructor immediately took a step back. The students behind him charged forward like wolves and tigers.

The shop owner was so frightened by the sight that he hurriedly shouted and stepped between the two sides. "My lords, could you do me a favor? You can come in and eat after you're done fighting, but if you fight inside the shop, there won't even be a place left to rest!"

Hearing this, the people from Canghui Academy nodded. They glanced at Ye Xingchen and the others before walking out of the shop.

Ma Hongjun and the others, who had stood there with their arms crossed and never made a move from beginning to end, smiled and quickly followed them outside.

In an instant, a crowd gathered outside the shop to watch, while the people from Canghui Academy faced off against Ye Xingchen's group.

"Now this is going to be a good show. Those people are from Canghui Academy, right? Where are the people opposite them from? They actually dare oppose Canghui Academy—isn't that courting death?"

"Keep your voice down. Can't you see they aren't scared at all? They might have quite a background too. We should just watch and leave it at that..."

"That man in white is so handsome. He looks pretty formidable too. I wonder what'll happen in a moment!"

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others shook their heads with their arms crossed, then stepped forward.

Looking at the people from Canghui Academy, they mocked without hesitation, "Come on, you little brats. Let us show you what we're capable of. You really don't know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth!"

Upon hearing this, the people from Canghui Academy stopped hesitating. One after another, they unleashed their martial souls and charged forward.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Tang San immediately took the lead and rushed ahead.

Before even one exchange had passed, several Canghui Academy students had been knocked to the ground by Ma Hongjun's fists.

Tang San and Oscar worked together from the side, and almost no one could withstand a single move from them.

"The four of them are still pretty strong. If Brother Ye joined in too, this battle would probably end even faster," Zhu Zhuqing sighed as she watched the one-sided scene with her arms crossed.

"Of course. My husband hasn't even made a move. Why would he need to deal with a bunch of trash like them?" Ning Rongrong said proudly with a smile. Looking at Dai Mubai and the others cutting through their opponents like bamboo, she praised them, "The only one who might pose any difficulty is that Canghui Academy instructor. But he should be Teacher Zhao Wuji's opponent, so it has nothing much to do with us!"

Ye Xingchen smiled calmly. Looking at the Canghui Academy instructor before him, he said lightly, "That guy isn't one to settle for being ordinary. Watching his students gradually lose, he's probably unable to sit still any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, two screams rang out. Dai Mubai casually smashed two Canghui Academy students to the ground, then stood where he was with his arms crossed and said with a smile, "They're nothing but a bunch of rabble. They aren't even enough for me to warm up against. Is Canghui Academy really this pathetic? Is there no one who can fight?"

Ma Hongjun clapped from the side and smiled. He took out a chicken drumstick and ate as he spoke, "I even gave them one hand, yet these guys still couldn't take a hit. This is really too disappointing. Canghui Academy should just disband already..."

The Canghui Academy instructor's expression turned incomparably ugly upon hearing this, and his old face immediately flushed red.

Seeing how overbearing these fellows from Shrek Academy were, he realized something was wrong.

However, he had never even heard of Shrek Academy. For the sake of Canghui Academy's reputation, he had to step in and teach them a lesson today.

"You ignorant little brats! You think being a little capable makes you invincible? There is always a higher heaven beyond the heavens, and always someone stronger!"

After saying that, the Canghui Academy instructor roared, and Soul Power erupted from his body.

Visible to the naked eye, a Xuanwu quietly appeared before him.

"Let me have a go at you. You still don't seem willing to give up," Tang San said calmly, shaking his head slightly. As he looked at the Canghui Academy instructor who had unleashed his martial soul, a trace of fighting intent slowly burned in his heart.

With a slight push from his heel, he darted forward. As he raised his hand, Blue Silver Grass vines spread across the ground and swept toward his opponent.

The Canghui Academy instructor standing in the middle smiled, allowing the Blue Silver Grass vines to wrap around him.

"Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass vines have some substance to them. You trapped him in place in an instant. That guy is probably a wrapped rice dumpling now, just waiting to be eaten!" Ma Hongjun said, looking at the people from Canghui Academy with crossed arms. "Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is your instructor—so utterly vulnerable..."

Before he could finish, blue light suddenly burst from the wrapped Blue Silver Grass vines. A wave of bone-chilling cold immediately exploded outward!

The Blue Silver Grass vines covering the ground were instantly frozen solid by that frigid power. The Canghui Academy instructor in the middle roared and walked straight out.

He looked at Tang San and said with a smile, "Not bad. It wasn't easy to train a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass vines to this extent."

"But with just you, defeating me is still impossible, isn't it?"

Tang San watched this unfold with a calm expression, then shook his head slightly and instinctively moved closer.

With a lift of his hand, two Blue Silver Grass vines lashed out. But the moment they drew near, the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor moved.

A burst of frigid power erupted from his body. Before Tang San could react, he let out a muffled grunt and was knocked to the ground!

"I told you, you're no match for me. Even if all of you came at me together, you still wouldn't be my opponents!"

"Today, I'll teach you all a lesson and show you what it means to know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

The Blue Sunshine Academy instructor, having unleashed all his Soul Power, smiled and shifted his gaze toward Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

"Let's join forces. This guy's Soul Power is higher than ours, and so is his level. A one-on-one fight is definitely impossible!"

"Tang San, watch carefully. Stop acting like a lone wolf. At this rate, you won't be able to beat anyone one-on-one!"

After tossing out those words, Ma Hongjun advanced alongside Dai Mubai and Oscar.

In an instant, the three clashed with him!

The Blue Sunshine Academy students, whose faces had looked utterly grim, regained their confidence when they saw their teacher's might.

Meanwhile, atop a high platform in a nearby town, Zhao Wuji stood with his arms crossed as he watched the commotion below, a faint smile rising at the corners of his mouth.

He thought that he had merely gone out for a stroll, yet these little brats had already started fighting with the people from Blue Sunshine Academy.

Seeing how fierce they were, he could not help feeling immensely proud.

Especially since a Soul King had been unable to take down Dai Mubai and the others for so long—it was simply hilarious to him.

Zhao Wuji shook his head, took a sip of wine, then strode forward.

Within the crowd, Ye Xingchen watched Dai Mubai and the others fighting the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor and found it somewhat uninteresting.

A Soul King was indeed formidable, but against four fighters nearing level thirty, the situation was rather underwhelming.

He shook his head, glanced at Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, and said, "That guy should be a defense-type Soul Master. Let me handle him. The three of them have been fighting him for ages and still can't so much as move him. If this continues, their Soul Power will be severely drained, and they'll be the ones at a disadvantage in the end."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu nodded. Watching the scene ahead, they asked, "Do you need us to support you from the side? After all, I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which can enhance your strength and speed!"

Ye Xingchen shook his head calmly, patted Ning Rongrong on the head, and walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back.

The instant he took his first step, powerful Soul Power erupted from his body, and an overwhelming aura slowly spread outward.

"That guy in white is strong too. He's a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, right? Why do I feel like he's much stronger than an ordinary level 29 Soul Grandmaster?"

"Who knows? We'll find out once he makes a move. He should be pretty powerful, right? Just look at his aura—it's far stronger than those few!"

"No matter how strong he is, he's still only a Soul Grandmaster. How could he compare to a Soul King? Let's just watch!"

Dai Mubai, who was fiercely battling the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor, suddenly sensed a powerful wave of Soul Power behind him. Turning around, he saw that Ye Xingchen had arrived before them.

Delighted, he borrowed the momentum to retreat two steps and came to Ye Xingchen's side. "Brother Ye, are you going to make a move? Hurry and teach this guy a lesson. He's relying on his absurd defense, and we really can't do anything to him!"

Ye Xingchen nodded calmly and casually waved his hand. The Cloud Pattern Long Sword immediately appeared in his grasp.

He glanced at the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor, who was enveloped by his Xuanwu martial soul, then pressed forward.

With a raise of his hand, two Sword Qi Dragons shot forth.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had been supporting from the side, immediately made room upon seeing this and simultaneously unleashed their Soul Power in a fierce attack.

"You little brats, not even one of you is a Soul Ancestor, and you think you can fight me?"

"I'll show you what a Soul King truly is! Get lost!"

The Blue Sunshine Academy instructor looked at Ye Xingchen, who had made his move, with faint disdain.

With a casual wave, Soul Power gathered in his hand, and he hurled it straight at the incoming Sword Qi Dragons.

Yet, with a muffled grunt, the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor, who had stood as immovable as a mountain, was forced ten steps back.

Looking at the faint bloody marks on his right hand, he found it utterly unbelievable.

"You... you're clearly only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Why is your strength so tyrannical?"

Ye Xingchen did not answer the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor's question.

He shook his head slightly and took another step. As the Spiritual Power within his body continued to surge, he increasingly felt that he was on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of the Other Shore realm of the Wheel Sea.

Throughout his long cultivation at Shrek Academy, aside from cultivating Soul Power every day, he had continuously refined Spiritual Power, compressing it to its limit so that it could undergo a qualitative eruption.

With his Soul Power about to break through to the Soul Elder realm, the Spiritual Power within his body also underwent earth-shaking changes at that instant.

As a result, Ye Xingchen knew that he needed to form his third Soul Ring as soon as possible in order to advance the Heaven Shading Method to its next realm!

"You brat, aren't you being a little too arrogant? You really don't take me seriously at all!"

"I'll show you my true strength, you hateful bastard!"

Seeing that Ye Xingchen was ignoring him, the Blue Sunshine Academy instructor became thoroughly frustrated.

With a wave of his hand, a gauntlet formed from dark ice appeared over his right hand.

He glanced at Ye Xingchen, who was striding rapidly toward him, then charged forward without hesitation. Raising his hand, he smashed his fist viciously toward Ye Xingchen's chest.

But the moment he drew close, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul materialized instantly. Along with a piercing chime—

The Canghui Academy instructor, who had yet to react, was forced back ten steps in an instant!

Looking at the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul before him, his expression turned incomparably grim. In that brief moment of contact, he had clearly sensed that the cauldron martial soul's defensive power surpassed even his own.

"Judging by Brother Ye's Defense Martial Soul, that guy's Xuanwu Martial Soul is far inferior!"

Watching the scene from the side, Dai Mubai folded his arms and laughed.

"As Brother Ye grows stronger and stronger, there'll come a day when he can just stand there without moving, and we still won't be able to do anything to him. Comparing people really does drive one mad!"

Ma Hongjun, at a loss for words, sighed. He had suffered greatly at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul before.

Deeply moved, he could not help but laugh.

"Isn't that so? Its defense is already absurd enough, but its attack power is just as monstrous. At this rate, I really suspect that once Brother Ye reaches the Soul Saint level, he'll be able to take on a titled Douluo expert alone!"

Upon hearing that, Tang San, standing nearby, looked utterly grim. As he watched the white-robed figure ahead, the flames of jealousy in his heart burned ever more fiercely.

"Brat, who exactly are you? Anyone with such a powerful Defense Martial Soul can't possibly be some nobody!"

Hearing the Canghui Academy instructor's question, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly.

He shook his head and quietly raised the Cloud Pattern Long Sword in his hand. Looking at the man before him, he took another step forward.
