Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Reward: Heaven Shading Method Chapter 43

As the Spiritual Power within him surged once more, a powerful force belonging to the mid-stage Other Shore of the Wheel Sea appeared in his hands.

He had broken through!

"You're not worthy of knowing my name, much less my origins. Now, you have only one choice!"

"That is to lose beneath my sword. From now on, whenever you see anyone from Shrek Academy, take a detour!"

Having thrown out those words, Ye Xingchen immediately darted forward like a flying swallow.

With a flick of his hand, an exceptionally beautiful flourish of sword light shot forth!

Terrifying Sword Qi descended toward the Canghui Academy instructor's head like snowflakes.

The pale-faced Canghui Academy instructor retreated step by step. Seeing this, he instinctively unleashed his Martial Soul.

A force of frost instantly formed a guard before him.

As shrill bursts of Sword Qi rang out, the ice shield visibly cracked inch by inch, thin fissures spreading across its surface.

"This guy is way too strong, isn't he? Our teacher isn't his match. What are we supposed to do? Who exactly are they?"

"I don't know either. I've never heard of Shrek Academy. Where did this group of powerful people come from? Even the instructor isn't their match. Is that guy really a level 29 Soul Grandmaster?"

"Who the hell knows? This is insane! Teacher is a Soul King-level powerhouse, yet under the pressure of a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, he's actually starting to lose!"

The surrounding Canghui Academy students all changed expression at the sight, breaking into discussion.

"You pieces of trash know who you offended now, right? We told you not to be so arrogant. Are you convinced now?"

Dai Mubai crossed his arms and glanced back at the people from Canghui Academy, mocking them without hesitation.

"A tiny Canghui Academy that doesn't even know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, yet you still dare wander the world? I suggest you shut down your academy early!"

Hearing this, everyone from Canghui Academy flushed red with embarrassment. An unspeakable sense of humiliation slowly spread among them.

With an explosion, Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, lightly tapped the ground and retreated.

He stopped as he looked at the Canghui Academy instructor, who had been forced back a hundred meters.

"Strong enough! You're the strongest level 29 Soul Grandmaster I've ever seen. Your strength is enough to rival a peak Soul Elder!"

Peak Soul Elder?

Hearing the Canghui Academy instructor's praise, Ye Xingchen showed no hint of a smile.

With my current mid-stage Other Shore strength, rivaling a peak Soul Ancestor should be my true limit.

Just as he was about to say something, a figure silently appeared before him.

"Bullying the young with your age and still failing to beat him? You've lived all these years like a dog. If I were you, I'd find a block of tofu and smash my head into it!"

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, glanced at the Canghui Academy instructor, and mocked him with a smile.

"From now on, you'd better properly take a detour whenever you see anyone from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, we might beat you up again, and that would be so unpleasant!"

The Canghui Academy instructor's expression turned extremely ugly. He snorted and roared angrily at Zhao Wuji.

"I've never even heard of your Shrek Academy. What are you being so arrogant for? Aren't you just relying on having two powerful people?"

Zhao Wuji smiled dismissively and unleashed his Soul Power without hesitation. The powerful might of a Soul Saint instantly pressed down on the Canghui Academy instructor.

"My god, he's a Soul Saint! So this group really does have powerful backing. No wonder they're so arrogant!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even without that Soul Saint, just that man in white alone would be enough for them to come and go as they pleased. None of these people could stop them!"

"That makes sense. I can see it too. These people are absurdly strong. The Canghui Academy lot are no match for them at all!"

Hearing these words amid the crowd, the Canghui Academy instructor's face twisted bitterly.

Faced with such a powerful Soul Saint, what could a mere Soul King like him possibly do?

He sighed and said, "It seems we failed to recognize Mount Tai. I apologize to you all for this matter. I hope we can stay out of each other's way in the future. Let us part here!"

Zhao Wuji gave no response. Looking at the Canghui Academy instructor before him, he took a step forward.

With a wave of his hand, powerful Soul Power instantly wrapped around the man.

"What the hell do you mean, staying out of each other's way? You've already attacked my disciples. As their teacher, how could I not make a move?"

"You've been out in the world for so long. Don't you know that whoever has the bigger fist gets to talk?"

Having said that, Zhao Wuji casually waved his hand and flung the Canghui Academy instructor away. He landed squarely on top of a well.

His comical appearance immediately drew a burst of laughter from Ning Rongrong and the others.

"Is this what they call a drowned dog? This is way too funny! Teacher Zhao Wuji, you came at just the right time!"

Covering her mouth, Ning Rongrong shook her head, then came to Ye Xingchen's side with a smile.

"Actually, even if you hadn't come, my Husband could have dealt with them easily. But it's much funnier when you do it!"

Zhao Wuji shook his head unconcernedly, rubbed the back of his head, and joked, "You all did very well. Don't stay here any longer. Let's go back and get some rest. We're heading to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded and returned to their respective rooms at the inn.

A short while later, in Ning Rongrong's room, Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged on the bed with a calm expression. As the Spiritual Power within him continuously roiled, his strength grew stronger and stronger.

After letting out a long breath, he slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the Spiritual Qi spinning in his palm, he silently opened the system interface.

"Host: Ye Xingchen!"

"Physique: Minor Completion Chaos Body!"

"Sky Covering Realm: Mid-stage Wheel Sea Other Shore!"

"Douluo Realm: Level 29 Soul Grandmaster!"

"Martial Soul: Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!"

"Storage: 100,000 Spiritual Qi! Martial Soul Lottery!"

"Soul Skills: Crashing Waves! Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain! Tiger Roars in the Forest!"

Mid-stage Wheel Sea Other Shore!

Comparable to a peak Soul Ancestor!

Watching his strength soar continuously, Ye Xingchen's lips curled slightly. The next thing he needed to do was form his third Soul Ring.

He sighed and put away the system interface. Just as he was about to rise and stretch—

He heard footsteps outside the door, followed by Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing returning.

"You're awake, Husband. I thought you were still cultivating. The two of us went out to get some fruit. Do you want some?"

Seeing the fruit in Rongrong's hands, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Didn't you two eat enough just now? You're still eating fruit now? Aren't you afraid of putting on weight?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth and laughed. Casually picking up a piece of fruit, she smiled and said, "It's just some fruit. There's no need to make it sound so terrifying, right? Besides, gaining a little weight isn't bad."

Ye Xingchen nodded calmly and said nothing more.

He slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and said lightly, "Are you still planning to sleep with us tonight? Isn't that a little inappropriate? You're still an unmarried young woman, after all."

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face immediately flushed red. Looking at this fellow who had eaten his fill and now refused to acknowledge it, she muttered, "That's not up to you. Rongrong and I already discussed it. The two of us will sleep on the bed, and you'll sleep on the floor. We're good sisters, after all!"

Ning Rongrong, standing beside her, nodded. She wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's and teased, "That's right. You can sleep on the floor for two days. We're good sisters, after all. You can't possibly sleep together with us, can you? That would be too inappropriate!"

Hiss...

Seeing the two of them agree so readily, Ye Xingchen could not help but suck in a cold breath. He sighed and said, "Is there no justice left in this world? No law? I'm your Husband! Why am I the one sleeping on the floor?"

Ning Rongrong smiled dismissively, then linked arms with Zhu Zhuqing and walked inside.

Zhu Zhuqing looked back at Ye Xingchen with a smug expression, not forgetting to make a playful face at him!

Feeling utterly bored, he sighed, glanced at the night outside the window, and could only curl up on the bedding laid out on the floor.

The next morning, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu calmly looked over everything in the woods. She felt as though she had returned home. Especially when she saw those weak Soul Beasts, she could not help wanting to stroke them.

Seeing this, Oscar quietly followed after her. After observing her for a few moments, he could not help but smile and say, "Xiao Wu, I never would have guessed you were such a caring girl. These little Soul Beasts are so weak, yet you seem to like them quite a bit!"

Xiao Wu smiled indifferently. Looking at Oscar, who understood nothing, she did not know what to say.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she saw Tang San, dressed in blue, walk over.

He glanced at Oscar and said coolly, "What Xiao Wu likes has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"As her brother, I know what she wants. So stop trying to curry favor here. There's no possibility between you two!"

Oscar's face instantly flushed red. Looking at Tang San, who had been so direct, he could not help feeling somewhat angry.

With a cold snort, Oscar pointed at Tang San's nose and said, "Stop pretending to be something you're not! You think I don't know what you're thinking? Let me tell you, Xiao Wu would never like someone like you!"

Tang San crossed his arms and smiled. Looking at the furious Oscar, he teased, "As if my sister would like you. Don't forget, from beginning to end, I've always been her brother. Are you sure you want to speak to me like that?"

Left speechless, Oscar snorted, glanced at Tang San, then flicked his sleeve and left.

Xiao Wu stood frozen in place, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, over the past few days with Tang San, they had barely exchanged a word.

"Xiao Wu, have you been troubled by something? I've noticed that whenever you encounter these Soul Beasts along the way, you always look at them a few extra times. Is there something wrong here?"

Hearing Tang San's question, Xiao Wu felt slightly helpless.

She had been born in this forest, so she naturally held gratitude for everything here. This was the place that had given birth to her and raised her. She turned back to look at Tang San and smiled.

"No, it's just that this place feels familiar to me. Don't think too much about it. I'm fine!"

Tang San nodded slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps from nearby.

Ye Xingchen then walked over. Dressed in white, he carried a small Soul Beast in his hands.

"Xiao Wu, do you have any way to save this Soul Beast? I saw that it was injured on the road. It's quite pitiful. If no one cares for it, it might simply die on its own."

The moment Xiao Wu saw Ye Xingchen, a smile appeared on her face. Especially after hearing him mention the injured little Soul Beast, her heart warmed even more.

She nodded, took the Soul Beast, and said, "I'll help it, Brother Ye. You really are kind-hearted. If a little Soul Beast like this gets injured and no one pays attention to it, it might really die here!"

Seeing the two chatting and laughing together, the flames of jealousy in Tang San's heart burned once more.

Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, he glanced at Ye Xingchen and said coldly, "Natural selection, survival of the fittest. These Soul Beasts were born for us humans to obtain Soul Rings from. Its injury is merely its own misfortune!"

"Even if it dies, other Soul Beasts will eat it. That can be considered nourishment as well. But even if you forcefully save it, the same thing will happen to it again in the future. Soul Beasts aren't humans, after all!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen's lips curled upward slightly.
