Defeating Silver Moon

Na'er was eating with great gusto when a little chubby boy not far away began sucking on his index finger, drool trailing down his hand as he stared at her with longing eyes.

No, he was staring at the Ruby Prawn in her hand, which had been peeled by A-Jiu. Any seasoned gourmet would know the moment they caught the scent of this prawn that it was a rare delicacy of the highest order!

Yet, the chubby boy had scoured every table and couldn't find the same prawns Na'er had. Watching the pile of prawns beside her dwindle, his introverted nature kept him from stepping forward to ask, making him increasingly anxious.

Just then, a little blonde girl couldn't watch any longer. Looking at the chubby boy with a gaze that screamed "I wish you were smarter," she grabbed him and dragged him over to Na'er.

"Hey! You've taken all these prawns; don't you think that's excessive? Besides, can you even finish them all by yourself? It's shameful to waste food!"

"Sister Xinglan, if you ask me, maybe we should just let it go..."

Xu Lizhi hadn't wanted to cause a conflict over such a trivial matter. If he couldn't have these prawns, there was plenty of other seafood; eating was just eating, after all.

At the same time, he was confused. What was wrong with Ye Xinglan today? Why was she being so serious about such a small thing?

"No way! I want to eat them too!"

Xu Lizhi: "..."

If you want to eat, why drag me into this?

Na'er raised her eyes to glance at them, ignored them, and continued taking large bites of the prawn meat.

A-Jiu had said that in this vast world, eating was the most important thing. She couldn't let some annoying business ruin her good mood for a meal, especially since these prawns weren't even enough for her to eat her fill!

"Hey! I'm talking to you! How can you be so rude and ignore people!"

A-Jiu was speechless, but it handed two prawn heads to them.

In its view, the Bloodline Power contained within the tomalley of the prawn heads was more than enough for the two of them.

If they ate too much and ended up exploding, it would be held responsible for their deaths.

"Here, there's no more meat, but take these two heads to get a taste."

Ye Xinglan, however, didn't appreciate the gesture at all and threw the two heads onto the ground.

A-Jiu's actions instantly ignited her temper, but Xu Lizhi stared at the two heads on the ground, feeling a deep sense of regret.

Only a true gourmet knew how precious the contents of such a large prawn head were.

Sigh, Sister Xinglan really doesn't know quality when she sees it...

"You little thing, are you trying to brush us off like beggars? Let's go to the arena. If we win, the prawn meat belongs to us. How about that?"

At the mention of a duel, a bright light ignited in Ye Xinglan's eyes. The arena was an old tradition of Shrek Academy, and in her heart, it held a status that was sacred and sublime!

It was as if only on the arena stage could she and her Star God Sword find that sense of belonging that belonged to a genius!

"Not interested. My Na'er isn't even six years old yet and hasn't even awakened her martial soul. Are you planning to bully an ordinary person with no soul power? You would truly be so glorious, oh honorable Lord Soul Master~"

Regarding A-Jiu's words, the not-so-bright Ye Xinglan felt as if she were being praised, but why did its tone sound so incredibly punchy?

"I, you... I didn't! Don't you go spouting nonsense!"

"Since you like the arena so much, how about A-Jiu gives you a suggestion? Why don't you have your father or grandfather go fight Na'er's child-husband? How about that?"

"That's right, that's right! If you want to fight, go find Leng Wuduan. He's very strong. If Na'er doesn't recognize you, they can definitely beat Na'er's child-husband!"

Na'er and A-Jiu exchanged a glance, pouring oil on the fire, both of them revealing smiles like little devils.

If you go fight him, you'll likely get the stuffing beaten out of your father or grandfather.

"Fine, you just wait!"

Without any surprise, Ye Xinglan was severely lectured by her doting father. Even someone as strong-willed as Ye Xinglan burst into tears on the spot.

She was utterly confused. Her father, a powerful Soul Saint, and her grandfather, a Titled Douluo—why had they suddenly lost their passion for the arena? Hadn't they always been the ones vigorously promoting arena culture?

Ye Xingguang: Is my little girl leaking air? You want me, a Soul Saint, to fight a Super Douluo? You're trying to get your father beaten into a pulp, aren't you?

The time shifts back to a quarter of an hour ago, at the Sea God Family's high-level arena.

The guests who had come to attend the wedding of Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue had almost all gathered around, and the spectator stands were practically packed.

"Yaozhu, aren't you worried about your husband? Cai Yue'er is a Super Douluo, after all!"

Leng Yaozhu shook her head, a confident and calm smile still gracing her face.

"Ya Li, although my husband's cultivation isn't high, it's more than enough to handle a Cai Yue'er. Just keep watching!"

Ya Li also shook her head. Although she didn't know what special method Su Jiu had used to prevent her from sensing his specific cultivation level, she didn't believe Su Jiu could defeat Cai Yue'er.

After all, not everyone was Yun Ming, who had already become a Titled Douluo in his early twenties!

Oh well, it would be good for the young man to suffer a little; grinding down his sharp edges would be beneficial for his future cultivation.

"Shrek Academy, Cai Yue'er, Silver Moon Douluo, level 96 Assault System Battle Soul Master, please offer your guidance!"

"Leng Family, Leng Wuduan, Groundless Douluo, level 96 Agility System Battle Soul Master, please offer your guidance!"

Cai Yue'er: ???

Ya Li: ???

What? Did he just say level 96? Are we sure it wasn't level 69?

At the same time, the uproar from the audience below fell into a sudden, deathly silence. They couldn't believe it; this—this had to be a lie!

Su Jiu sighed helplessly. His first soul skill was great, but it was sometimes too much of a hassle.

First Soul Skill: Fourth Wall!

Passive: A-Qi's computing power is doubled; immunity to all mental attacks; anti-detection;

Active: During the activation of the soul skill, speed increases by 100%, and strength increases by 50%;

With that, he immediately lit up his nine soul rings—three black and six red!

"I won't bully you, Cai Yue'er. To beat you, I won't even use my martial soul!"

Su Jiu's words carried a playful tone. His two Sharp Bee Hunting blades were still stuck conspicuously in the arena floor, leaving his hands completely empty.

"Who are you looking down on!"

Cai Yue'er was not intimidated by his words. Having just declared her affiliation with Shrek Academy, the nature of this match now concerned the honor of the academy; she could not retreat without a fight!

Besides, it wasn't certain who would emerge victorious!

Seventh Soul Skill: Silver Moon True Body!

The battle ignited instantly. Cai Yue'er transformed into a massive white jade disc, looming high in the firmament. Simultaneously, her three-word battle armor covered her entire body. Countless brilliant moonbeams poured down like a galaxy from the heavens, flooding the arena. The biting moonlight transformed into thousands of silver blades, slashing relentlessly at Su Jiu!

Ninth Soul Skill: Moonlight Rising·Moon Flash!

She intended to kill him in an instant!

It was not just a physical shredding, but a mental slaughter!

A cold glint flashed in Su Jiu's eyes, his expression turning completely blank. The moment the first moon blade was about to touch him, his figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he had shattered the void and landed directly upon the silver moon that Cai Yue'er had become!

The brilliant moonlight erupted, every strand of silver radiance carrying a soul-shredding mental attack.

Yet, Su Jiu didn't care in the slightest. His fist erupted with power, slamming into Cai Yue'er and blasting her toward the ground. The massive arena floor cracked instantly like a tortoise shell, and her silver moon was unable to bear the weight, shattering by more than half!

The second strike followed immediately. Su Jiu had already donned his four-word battle armor, Phantom Night Wanderer. He drew the long blade from his back, sank his hips into a stance, and gripped the slender hilt with both hands.

The next second, the blade struck like thunder crashing to earth!

The two-meter-long blade felt not the least bit cumbersome; instead, he swung it with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

The cold light arrived before the sound of the blade, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely capture the continuous arcs of red and gold. Even Su Jiu's figure was blurred by the speed of the blade, appearing like a night-wandering deity stalking through the shadows, his form impossible to discern.

The blade light flashed across Cai Yue'er's tattered lunar form. Countless shards of stone were sliced off and sent flying. She didn't even have time to let out a cry before her Silver Moon True Body and her three-word battle armor were completely shredded!

Cai Yue'er was forced out of her Silver Moon True Body state, collapsing to the ground in a wretched state, gasping for air. Yet, even covered in wounds, the look she gave Su Jiu remained fierce.

Yo~ still baring your teeth?
