Xiao Wu Would Definitely Train Hard from Now On

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

He turned and went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple, lifted Ning Rongrong into his arms, and stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword again.

Then, without looking back, he took off and disappeared into the clouds.

Chen Xin didn't want to see Luo Yan's unbearably smug face again. Every time he saw the corners of Luo Yan's mouth lift, he wanted to cut him down with a single sword strike.

Unfortunately, he had just tried, and there was no way he could do it anytime soon.

Besides, although Ning Rongrong's injuries had been stabilized, he was worried that delaying treatment might leave her with lasting problems.

"Safe travels, Sword Douluo. Until we meet again!"

Luo Yan smiled as he watched Chen Xin leave.

What he didn't know was that Chen Xin hadn't stayed in Suotuo City. He had taken Ning Rongrong straight back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As a result, only Tang San and three others remained among the original Shrek Seven Devils. The paths of all three girls had changed.

It was hard to say whether Shrek Academy would even go to Heaven Dou City.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Luo Yan spat out another mouthful of blood, and his expression grew noticeably wan.

Xiao Wu appeared beside him in a streak of pink, and hurriedly caught him.

"Brother Luo Yan!"

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have hit him so hard. I'm the one who brought that human here!"

"Are you all right?"

Xiao Wu looked at Luo Yan with worry. Her little face was covered in glittering tears, and her eyes were red.

It made Luo Yan's heart ache.

He pulled Xiao Wu into his arms affectionately, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her in a low voice. "Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I only suffered a minor injury. I'm just a little low on spiritual energy!"

"I'll be fine once I've recovered a bit."

"Xiao Wu won't slack off anymore. I'll definitely train hard from now on!"

Xiao Wu thought she had become a burden to Luo Yan, and that was why he had been injured.

If Da Ming and Er Ming had fought alongside Luo Yan, this wouldn't have happened.

Just then, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Zhu Zhuqing came over too.

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't reacted as strongly as Xiao Wu, but the worry in her eyes was unmistakable.

Her small hands were clenched so tightly that her nails nearly dug into her palms.

From the start of the fight, she had been the one protected. Not only had she been unable to help Luo Yan, she had needed Xiao Wu and the others to protect her.

"Big brother, are you all right?" Da Ming was worried about Luo Yan too.

They had joined the fight at the beginning and knew how powerful Chen Xin's attacks were. When Luo Yan had been struck by that attack later on, they had feared he might die.

But by then, they hadn't had time to intervene.

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

Luo Yan said no more, signaling for them to go back.

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

But not one of them dared to stop Luo Yan and the others. They made way for them, letting Luo Yan leave with Xiao Wu and the rest.

On a tall building not far from the battlefield, a group of people had been watching Luo Yan and the others.

Judging by their armor, the man at the front was clearly an important figure in Suotuo City, while the people behind him were his personal guards.

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

Sure enough, one of the guards stepped forward and asked the man at the front respectfully.

At his words, the other guards all looked over as well.

Soul duels were forbidden within Suotuo City. Anyone who wanted to fight had to go to the Great Soul Arena or leave the city. Soul duels were not allowed inside the city.

And yet Luo Yan and Chen Xin had fought right in front of everyone.

They had completely disregarded the City Lord's Mansion.

"If you want to get yourself killed, go ahead. Just don't say you're with the City Lord's Mansion!"

Zhao Yuan didn't even turn around. His gaze remained fixed on the direction Luo Yan had gone.

He didn't know who Luo Yan was, but he knew Chen Xin very well. Chen Xin was a pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had earned its place among the Upper Three Sects not only because it was wealthy beyond compare, but also because of Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

Chen Xin was a level 96 Super Douluo, already one step into level 97.

Even if Luo Yan hadn't defeated Chen Xin, the fact that he could fight him evenly meant that he had at least the strength of a Super Douluo.

If Zhao Yuan went looking for trouble with him, he'd have to be crazy.

The guards fell silent at his words.

Seeing them all standing there like a bunch of mutes, Zhao Yuan grew annoyed.

"Use your heads before you act next time! Send a few people to repair the scene and give compensation to anyone who was caught in the crossfire!"

With that, he waved them away.

At the Rose Hotel.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and began treating his injuries.

His injuries really weren't serious. He had only suffered a minor wound; afterward, he had simply depleted his spiritual energy by using too many divine abilities.

As his spiritual energy gradually recovered, color returned to his face.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others kept watch beside him, making sure no one interrupted his cultivation.

After this unexpected incident, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming had all developed a stronger desire to become powerful. Even as they kept watch over Luo Yan, they continued to comprehend their own Bloodline Divine Abilities.

Zhu Zhuqing had always been intensely eager to become stronger.

Knowing she couldn't help, she had started cultivating on her own bed as soon as they returned.

Still, every so often, she opened her eyes and glanced at Luo Yan to see if he had finished.

Half a day later, Luo Yan finally ended his cultivation.

The pallor had completely vanished from his face, and he looked like himself again.

His injuries had also healed completely, and he could vaguely feel that the bottleneck in his cultivation had begun to loosen.

Of course, Luo Yan had no intention of continuing his cultivation while the opportunity was there.

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

Seeing that Luo Yan had fully recovered, Xiao Wu immediately clung to him, nestling in his arms.

Luo Yan looked down at the girl in his arms with a mischievous grin. "Didn't you say you were going to train hard? Why aren't you doing that now?"

Xiao Wu ignored him, simply staying in his arms and holding him close.

Zhu Zhuqing came over too and asked softly, "Luo Yan, are you all right?"

She sounded casual, but the concern in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"I'm really fine. Don't worry."

Luo Yan waved a hand. He was doing just fine now.

"Big brother, who was that white-haired old man? We were just strolling around the city, and we ran into someone that powerful!"

Da Ming was very curious about Chen Xin's identity.

He and Er Ming spent most of their time in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although they occasionally encountered humans, they rarely met powerful ones.

As soon as Da Ming finished speaking, Er Ming and Xiao Wu both looked at Luo Yan.

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

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

Luo Yan didn't keep it from them. He told Da Ming, Er Ming, and the others about Chen Xin.
