So Good His Eyes Rolled Back

Tang Wulin shouted, "Brother Luo, he's got no reason to come after us. You can't give him what he wants."

Brother Luo, I'm your best friend.

You belong only to me.

You can only satisfy me.

You can't satisfy that blond guy!

Tang Wulin declared righteously, "Brother Luo doesn't need to step in. I can beat him by myself."

Li Luo thought, Does Blue Silver Entanglement make me invincible under heaven or something?

Xie Xie was getting anxious. "Country bumpkin, my Soul Power Level is already eighteen. What about yours?"

Tang Wulin was slightly startled.

Eighteen in Soul Power Level.

He was only at level eleven.

Had he gone a little too far with the act just now?

"Without Brother Luo, I'd probably lose." Tang Wulin's face flushed slightly.

Li Luo spoke up. "Wulin, you're only at level eleven. Don't push yourself."

"I'll support you."

"You should have an easier time winning."

Tang Wulin was touched. "All right, Brother Luo. Then let's be brothers in the same fight and give this blond guy a good beating."

Xie Xie protested, "Hey, country bumpkin, aren't you a little too confident?"

"Brother Luo's Martial Soul is the Rainbow Dragon King, the best support Beast Martial Soul under heaven. Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda can't compare."

Tang Wulin brimmed with confidence. "Without Brother Luo's support, I might win by a hair."

"With Brother Luo supporting me..."

"Heh. Just don't beg me for mercy later."

Xie Xie looked down on him. "Oh, is that so?"

"Then you'd better protect your Brother Luo. After all, he's the one I'm targeting this time."

"I'll show the people of the Federation and the people of the Spirit Pagoda just how ridiculous their Young Genius Ranking is!"

"And a level-fourteen Soul Master defying a Titled Douluo with nine rings!"

"Pah!"

Li Luo said calmly, "Then let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow Soul Ring rose beneath Xie Xie's feet.

Tang Wulin was slightly surprised. Xie Xie's Soul Ring was a hundred-year one, far stronger than his own.

But just then,

a dazzling light rose up

and poured into his body.

"Awoo!"

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up with excitement, as if he'd just eaten maca.

He was getting stronger.

As he grew stronger, he also felt his body cheering with delight—a feeling of utter satisfaction.

"My movement speed has increased by twenty percent. My attack power has also increased by twenty percent."

The Blue Silver Grass had become incredibly thick,

and incredibly strong.

Even its color had turned deep blue, almost shifting toward black.

Crack!

The thick, black Blue Silver Grass lashed toward Xie Xie like a whip.

At that moment, Xie Xie felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His Martial Soul was trembling with fear.

Yes, trembling with fear.

He couldn't summon even a trace of fighting spirit.

"Ah! What the hell is this?" Xie Xie cried out in terror.

Seeing Xie Xie's condition, Li Luo knew it was the suppressive effect of their Martial Souls.

His Martial Soul was the Rainbow Dragon King.

The Wife of the Dragon God.

Against an enemy, it could suppress all dragon-type Martial Souls.

Xie Xie was getting wrecked. That was perfectly normal.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's overall strength had been boosted by more than twenty percent. His thick Blue Silver Grass lashed through the air so fast that it left afterimages.

Each strike carried tremendous force.

Crack!

Xie Xie dodged frantically.

The Blue Silver Grass struck the ground, sending dust billowing everywhere.

Cold sweat streamed down Xie Xie's body.

If he got hit by that, wouldn't he go straight to heaven?

"Damn, how are we supposed to fight like this? My Martial Soul has no fighting spirit at all."

"Not only does it have no fighting spirit, the damn thing's trying to talk me into surrendering." Xie Xie wailed inwardly.

At that moment, he no longer had any desire to knock Li Luo off the genius ranking.

The fight took less than half a quarter of an hour from start to finish.

Panting, Xie Xie braced one hand against his waist and waved the other. "I'm done, I'm done. I give up."

Tang Wulin really didn't want Xie Xie to surrender.

He wanted to keep fighting.

There was no other reason. Li Luo's support boost was just too amazing.

His whole body felt loose and refreshed.

It was as if his bones had become several pounds lighter.

Tang Wulin truly wanted Li Luo to hit him with a few more bursts of Pure Beauty Light, letting them sink deep into his body.

What a pity Xie Xie can't take a hit. Hang in there a little longer, so I can feel Brother Luo's support, Tang Wulin thought regretfully.

Seeing Tang Wulin still brandishing his thick Blue Silver Grass triumphantly, Xie Xie was practically moved to tears. He ranted inwardly,

That damn country bumpkin. If you didn't have Li Luo supporting you, you'd have no chance of beating me. Keep dreaming.

If I had Li Luo's support...

Xie Xie's heart suddenly stirred. His own Martial Soul had no fighting spirit toward Li Luo at all, only a deep sense of closeness, as if they could fuse together just by drawing near.

Could my Martial Soul fuse with Li Luo's?

Well, I've got to give it a try.

Xie Xie's eyes darted around like a sly fox, full of longing for Li Luo.

His earlier defiance and the vow he'd once made to teach Li Luo a lesson had all vanished without a trace.

Tang Wulin sensed something was wrong. Xie Xie's gaze looked dangerous.

He hurriedly planted his thick Blue Silver Grass in front of Li Luo. "Hey, what are you trying to do to Brother Luo?"

Tang Wulin was determined to protect Li Luo.

Xie Xie almost pulled off the white briefs he was wearing and used them as a surrender flag.

He put on a flattering smile. "I really won't fight anymore."

"If you've never met Li the Immortal, you can hardly call yourself a hero."

"Now that I've met him, I can see he really is extraordinary."

"As the saying goes, you don't know someone until you've fought them—and after one fight, you're brothers."

Tang Wulin sneered inwardly. You don't know someone until you've fought them, and after one fight, you're at your knees before Brother Luo. Xie Xie, can't you show even a little backbone?

Xie Xie ignored Tang Wulin's look and gazed solemnly at Li Luo. "Li, I have to call you the strongest!"

He held out his hand with a smile. "Let's get to know each other again. My name's Xie Xie..."

Li Luo nearly turned to stone. In his memory, Xie Xie from Douluo III hadn't been this chuuni!

Still, Xie Xie had admitted defeat,

and had said so many nice things.

Li Luo understood the saying that you shouldn't strike a smiling face, so he reached out to shake Xie Xie's hand.

Tang Wulin reacted in the blink of an eye. With the speed of someone who'd been single for nine years, he shot out his right hand and grabbed Xie Xie's first.

Tang Wulin gloated inwardly. My hand is on top. Xie Xie, don't even think about touching Brother Luo's hand.

Li Luo: "..."

In the end, all three hands were stacked together, but under the surface, tensions ran high.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin fiercely fought for the chance to touch the most of Li Luo's hand.

Gu Yue, who had just finished her enrollment paperwork and arrived at the dormitory, saw the whole scene.

At that very moment, Gu Yue had just completed her enrollment and made her way over to the dormitory.

At a glance, she spotted the otherworldly Li Luo. "Wow, I've barely arrived at the academy, and I've already run into my wife. This is great."

"Hm?"

"What are those two stinking men doing?"

"They're making moves on my wife!"

Gu Yue's face was full of murderous intent. "Hmph, those stinking men are making a move on my wife? I'll castrate them all!"
