Xiao Wu will definitely cultivate hard from now on

After a long silence, Chen Xin finally retracted his Seven Kill Avatar.

He turned and walked to the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple, took Ning Rongrong from her arms, and stepped back onto his Seven Kill Sword.

Without looking back, he took off into the sky and vanished into the clouds.

Chen Xin did not want to see Luo Yan's incredibly arrogant face anymore; every time he saw the corners of Luo Yan's mouth curl up, he felt a strong urge to cut him down with a single sword strike.

It was a pity that he had just tried, and he knew he couldn't accomplish that in the short term.

Furthermore, although Ning Rongrong's bleeding had been staunched, he worried that delaying treatment might leave behind some lingering damage.

"Safe travels, Sword Douluo. We shall meet again!"

Luo Yan watched the direction in which Chen Xin had departed and smiled.

What he did not know was that Chen Xin would not be staying in Suotuo City, but would instead take Ning Rongrong directly back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This resulted in only four members of the original Shrek Seven Devils remaining, as the trajectories of the other three girls had all been altered.

It was now uncertain whether Shrek Academy would even head to Heaven Dou City.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Luo Yan spat out another mouthful of blood, and his demeanor withered significantly.

Xiao Wu transformed into a pink blur, appearing by Luo Yan's side to catch him.

"Brother Luo Yan!"

"I'm sorry, it's all Xiao Wu's fault. I shouldn't have attacked so recklessly just now; I'm the one who brought that human here!"

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Wu looked at Luo Yan with concern, her little face covered in crystalline teardrops, her eyes red.

It made Luo Yan's heart ache.

He hugged Xiao Wu dotingly and wiped the tears from her face, whispering comfortingly, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I only suffered minor injuries and my spiritual power is a bit depleted!"

"I'll be fine after a little recovery."

"Xiao Wu won't be lazy anymore; I will definitely cultivate properly from now on!"

Xiao Wu felt that it was because she had become a burden to Luo Yan that he had ended up injured.

Otherwise, if Da Ming and Er Ming had joined Luo Yan in the fight, this situation would never have happened.

At this moment, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Zhu Zhuqing also walked over.

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not act like Xiao Wu, the tension in her eyes was obvious.

Her small hands were clenched tightly, her nails nearly digging into her palms.

Since the battle began, she had been in a state of being protected; not only had she failed to help Luo Yan, but she had even required protection from Xiao Wu and the others.

"Big Brother, are you alright?" Da Ming was also quite worried about Luo Yan's condition.

They had participated in the fight at the beginning and knew the destructive power of Chen Xin's attacks. When Luo Yan was struck by that final blow, they had been terrified that he might die from it.

But at that moment, it had been too late for them to intervene.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's head back first!"

Luo Yan did not say anything more, signaling for the group to head back.

By now, a group of guards had surrounded the surrounding streets; they were the troops responsible for maintaining order in Suotuo City.

However, not a single one of them dared to stop Luo Yan and his group, instead clearing a path to let them leave.

On a tall building not far from the battlefield, a group of people had been watching Luo Yan's side the entire time.

Judging by the armor they wore, the person standing at the front was clearly a high-ranking figure in Suotuo City, while those behind him were his personal guards.

"City Lord, are we really not going to detain them?"

Sure enough, a guard stepped forward and respectfully asked the man at the front.

Hearing his words, the other guards also looked over.

Soul fighting was strictly prohibited within Suotuo City; those who needed to fight were expected to go to the Great Soul Arena or leave the city entirely.

Yet, Luo Yan and Chen Xin had engaged in a soul battle right in front of everyone.

They had completely disregarded the authority of the City Lord's Mansion.

"If you want to go throw your life away, then don't mention that you're from the City Lord's Mansion when you do!"

Zhao Yuan did not even turn his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction in which Luo Yan had left.

He did not know what Luo Yan's true identity was, but he knew Chen Xin very well—he was the pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The reason the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could rank among the top three sects, aside from their immense wealth, was the presence of Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

That was a level 96 Super Douluo, someone who had already stepped one foot into level 97.

Even if Luo Yan hadn't defeated Chen Xin, the fact that he could trade blows with him meant he possessed at least the strength of a Super Douluo.

If he were to go and look for trouble with that person again, he would have to be insane.

Hearing his words, the numerous personal guards all fell silent.

Seeing these guards acting like mutes one by one, Zhao Yuan felt a wave of annoyance.

"Use your brains more when doing things in the future! Send a few people over to restore the scene and distribute some compensation to those who were caught in the crossfire!"

After speaking, he waved his hand to signal them to withdraw.

Inside the Rose Hotel.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to mend the injuries within his body.

In truth, his injuries were not severe; he had only sustained minor wounds, and the subsequent exhaustion of his spiritual power was due to unleashing too many divine abilities.

Now, as his spiritual power continued to recover, his complexion grew increasingly ruddy.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others remained by his side the entire time, preventing anyone from disturbing Luo Yan's cultivation.

After this unexpected incident, the desire for strength in Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming had been stirred up; even while acting as guards for Luo Yan, they spent their time comprehending their own bloodline abilities.

Zhu Zhuqing had always possessed an extreme thirst for strength.

She knew she couldn't be of much help, so from the moment they returned, she had been cultivating on her own bed.

However, she would occasionally open her eyes to glance at Luo Yan, checking to see if he had finished.

After half a day, Luo Yan finally concluded his cultivation.

At this moment, the pallor on Luo Yan's face had completely vanished, and he had returned to his usual state.

At the same time, the injuries within his body had been fully repaired, and he could faintly feel that the bottleneck of his cultivation had loosened.

Of course, Luo Yan did not intend to continue cultivating to push through it right then.

"Brother Luo Yan, you're finally awake!"

Seeing that Luo Yan had fully recovered, Xiao Wu was the first to cling to him, leaning into his embrace and acting affectionate.

Luo Yan looked at the young girl in his arms with a mischievous smile and said playfully, "Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate hard? Why aren't you going?"

Xiao Wu ignored him, simply staying quietly in his arms and hugging him.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing also walked over and asked softly, "Luo Yan, are you alright?"

The question sounded casual, but the worry in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

"I'm really fine, no need to worry."

Luo Yan waved his hand; he was perfectly fine now.

"Big Brother, what exactly is the identity of that white-haired old man? We were just casually strolling through the city, and we managed to run into such a human powerhouse!"

Da Ming was extremely curious about the identity of Chen Xin.

He and Er Ming spent their years in the Star Dou Great Forest, and although they occasionally encountered humans, they did not often see powerful ones.

As soon as he finished speaking, Er Ming and Xiao Wu both turned to look at Luo Yan.

Like Da Ming, they wanted to know who Chen Xin was and what his status was in the human world.

Only Zhu Zhuqing, sitting beside Luo Yan, appeared lost in thought.

Luo Yan did not hide anything and told Da Ming and Er Ming the information he had about Chen Xin.
