Can't Afford to Offend a Title Douluo

Chapter 37: A Title Douluo Not to Be Trifled With

The seven members of the Royal Fighting Team walked out of the Central Douhun Arena, their spirits somewhat low.

They knew that if Long Chen hadn't intervened, they would have suffered a crushing defeat in this match.

They had underestimated the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils Team and had looked down on that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master.

Upon seeing Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng said with self-blame:

"I'm sorry, Teacher. We were overconfident. Although this Douhun match had no official result, we were the ones who lost."

"Teacher, I was also wrong. I didn't heed your instructions and used poison on them, only to have it countered," Dugu Yan added.

She hadn't expected that the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master could so easily break through her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

She knew in her heart that that person's spider venom was even more potent than her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

A sense of defeat welled up, causing her to lower her proud head.

Qin Ming comforted them:

"Alright, there's no need for you to blame yourselves. In previous Douhun matches, you won too easily and too smoothly, without encountering any setbacks. Strong opponents are the only standard to test your strength. It's good to experience a little setback. You must learn from this and never underestimate any opponent again."

"Teacher, we understand."

Although Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others were proud, they deeply respected Qin Ming.

This was because Qin Ming, at just over thirty years old, had already become a Six-Ring War Soul Emperor, the second fastest to achieve this record in the Martial Soul Hall's records.

They all saw him as a role model.

Qin Ming said:

"Dugu Senior and Long Chen should be waiting for you at the main gate. Go reunite with them and head back to the hotel first. I have something to attend to and will return later."

Dugu Yan suddenly asked:

"Teacher, are you going to find the Shrek Seven Devils?"

Qin Ming nodded.

"Paper cannot wrap fire. As long as Long Chen participates in the Soul Master Competition, he will reveal his soul skills, and they will know sooner or later. To tell the truth, I was once a member of Shrek Academy and graduated from that institution. The Owl Soul Master who stood on the Soul Fighting Platform just now is Dean Flender."

The group exchanged glances, finally understanding why Qin Ming had instructed them not to go all out against the Shrek Seven Devils before the Douhun match.

Ye Lingling said:

"Teacher, Brother Chen didn't mean any harm to them, he just didn't want to see me get hurt."

"Mmm, I know Long Chen's feelings for you. He's still young, and it's understandable that he acted impulsively in that situation. Alright, you guys go quickly, don't keep Dugu Senior and Long Chen waiting too long."

"Okay, teacher, see you later."

After a few people left, Qin Ming went to find Flender with a complicated feeling.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the Shrek Seven Devils were talking with Ao the Manager about something.

Ao the Manager called a Healer to treat Tang San.

Ma Hongjun was furious.

"If outsiders hadn't interfered in tonight's match, we would have definitely won."

"Yeah. Damn it, the duck flew right out of our grasp. I wonder which bastard did this!"

Dai Mubai was also indignant.

Ao the Manager sighed and said softly:

"I don't know who it was that made the move, but their methods were truly Weird."

Flender picked up the conversation:

"That person's attack method seems related to sound waves. They can condense illusions through Melody, confusing people's minds. They should be a powerful Control System Soul Master."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"That illusion was the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox, possessing extremely strong illusionary abilities. Their Soul Power and Mental Power should both be much higher than Xiao San's to completely control Xiao San. Ao the Manager, you should understand those nobles somewhat. Are there any suspicious people?"

Ao the Manager frowned and thought for a moment.

"A couple of days ago, a strange person did come to our Douhun Arena. He came specifically to watch the matches at the Central Douhun Arena. Originally, there were no vacant VIP Rooms left in the Central Douhun Arena, but that person was someone I couldn't afford to offend, so I had to make one for him."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Tang San's expression turned grim, and he said:

"Ao the Manager, as the supervisor of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, you have such extensive connections. Someone even you cannot afford to offend must have a special identity and noble status. May I ask who he is?"

Ao the Manager looked around and saw that no one was nearby. He then said softly:

"It's unlikely that the person who attacked you is him, because his Soul Skills are only related to poison."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly startled, thinking of something.

"Related to poison. Someone even you, Ao the Manager, cannot afford to offend... One of Xiao San's opponents tonight also has a poison Soul Master, and their martial soul is the Green Lined Serpent. Could it be him?"

"Teacher, who is he?"

Tang San asked anxiously.

Yu Xiaogang didn't rush to answer Tang San's question. He exchanged a glance with Flender beside him.

"Flender, you must have guessed it too, right?"

Flender nodded and looked at Ao the Manager, asking:

Dean, I know you have your concerns, but as the Dean of Shrek Academy, I cannot stand by and watch the children suffer injustice.

Ao the Manager shook his head helplessly and said:

"Dean Flender, since you two already know, why do you need me to point it out? You've guessed who it is, and you should also know that it couldn't have been him personally. Although the match had no result, our Soul Arena has minimized its losses to the greatest extent. I promise the Gold Soul Coins will still be delivered as agreed. Do me a favor, and let's put this matter to rest. After all, that expert is someone neither you nor I can afford to offend. Why bring trouble upon yourselves?"

"Ao the Manager..."

Flender was about to say something but was stopped by Yu Xiaogang.

"Alright, Flender, let's not cause more trouble for Ao the Manager."

Ao the Manager nodded at Yu Xiaogang and smiled, saying:

"Thank you for your understanding. Remember to go to the front desk later to collect the Gold Soul Coins I promised you."

Ao the Manager left after speaking.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and asked with concern:

"Xiao San, how are you? Does it still hurt anywhere?"

"Teacher, it still hurts a little, but it's much better. Don't worry. By the way, who exactly were you talking about? Why is Ao the Manager so afraid of him?"

Yu Xiaogang sighed.

"Because he is a Title Douluo level expert, and his poison is unrivaled in the world. His methods are ruthless, and he has killed countless people."

"Title Douluo?!"

The Shrek Seven Devils looked at each other in dismay.

They naturally knew what the words "Title Douluo" meant. No wonder Ao the Manager was so hesitant to mention that person's name.

Tang San continued to ask:

"Teacher, does that Title Douluo have any connection with the Green Lined Serpent Poison Soul Master on the field?"

"It's highly possible they are related. That Title Douluo's title is Poison, and his name is Dugu Bo. His martial soul is the Green Lined Serpent Emperor, which evolved from a Green Lined Serpent."

As they were chatting, Qin Ming walked over.

"Dean Flender, long time no see."
