Bai Chenxiang hated one thing most of all: scum.
And the Bu Le standing before her was the cream of the crop among scum, the dregs of lecherous villains!
The look on his face just now, the things he'd said—they were enough to get him killed a hundred times over!
"Spare you?"
"Could you spare the women you've ruined?"
Bai Chenxiang shook her head lightly.
Bang!!!
A dull impact exploded through the narrow alley!
It was followed by a pig-like squeal:
"Argh!!!"
Bu Le clamped both hands between his legs. His already lecherous face twisted beyond recognition, veins bulging as his eyes nearly popped from their sockets!
Pain!
An indescribable agony!
"My... my precious... argh!!!"
It was shattered.
Completely shattered.
Even the best healing Soul Master on the continent couldn't fix it.
Boundless despair and fear welled up in Bu Le's heart.
As a lecher who delighted in ruining women, the thing he'd been proudest of was his manhood.
But now it was gone. All gone!
This was worse than being killed!
"You filthy bitch!!" he roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with frenzied hatred. "If you've got the guts, kill me! Come on!!"
Bai Chenxiang drew back her long, slender leg and looked down at the scum writhing on the ground.
"Kill you?"
Her voice was bone-chillingly cold.
"Wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?"
Bu Le's pupils shrank sharply.
She raised her foot again. This time, her target wasn't the space between his legs, but his dantian.
Bang!!!
Bu Le's body arched violently. His eyes, which had been filled with fear, suddenly flew wide open, bulging like those of a dead fish!
He felt the core within him—the one that had stored decades' worth of Soul Power—shatter with a crash beneath that kick!
"Pfft!!!"
His aura withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He stared fixedly at Bai Chenxiang, his eyes full of disbelief and despair!
"You... you crippled my Martial Soul?"
For a Soul Master, having their Martial Soul crippled was more painful than death!
Death meant the end of everything. Having your Martial Soul crippled meant a fate worse than death!
From then on, he would be a cripple, a cripple worth less than an ordinary person!
Without Soul Power, without strength, would the enemies he'd made and the families of the women he'd ruined let him go?
Bu Le didn't dare imagine it!
Then his head lolled to one side, and he passed out.
Bai Chenxiang lowered her foot again. Looking at the lecherous man sprawled like a dead dog, she felt not the slightest pity.
"Brother Cao..."
She called softly, then flashed into the air, transforming into a streak of white light that shot skyward and vanished into the vast heavens.
That mysterious Dream Space had wondrous effects. One year inside was equivalent to one day outside.
So even though she'd been apart from him for only one day, it felt as if three autumns had passed.
She wanted to find Brother Cao and see whether things felt the same in reality as they did in the dream.
High above, the Sky Screen still shone with golden light.
Those two kicks that had left Bu Le cock and balls had filled countless lecherous scumbags with a bone-deep chill.
The girls Brother Cao had raised...
Each one was fiercer than the last!
The Speed Clan's territory.
Bai He stood at the highest point of the clan grounds, gazing up at the Sky Screen with tears streaming down his face.
"Chenxiang... Chenxiang's a Titled Douluo... The Speed Clan has finally risen!"
His voice trembling, he murmured, "Good! Good! She's surpassed this old man by far! Surpassed this old man by far!"
He watched the streak of white light disappear into the Sky Screen. His eyes were filled with reluctance, but even more with relief and pride.
"Go on, Chenxiang. Go find that Brother Cao."
"Grandpa... is happy for you."
The Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao and several elders sat around a long table.
Above them, the golden words on the Sky Screen read: "Bai Chenxiang, level 92 Titled Douluo."
They pierced every elder's heart like a thorn.
"The Speed Clan... The Speed Clan that once depended on us..."
"Old Bai He's granddaughter actually became a Titled Douluo?"
The Second Elder murmured, his voice thick with conflicting emotions.
"The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique..." The First Elder stroked his beard, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
"This technique is truly uncanny. It can turn an unknown little girl into a Titled Douluo in a single leap. If only the Clear Sky Sect could obtain it..."
If they acquired this technique, what could stop the Clear Sky Sect from returning to its peak?
What could stop them from surpassing Spirit Hall and becoming the greatest sect on the continent?
"But..." the Fourth Elder said hesitantly, "that Brother Cao is unfathomable. He killed Third Brother with a single slap. If we covet his technique..."
"Who said we were going to covet his technique?" The First Elder waved a hand. "The Speed Clan was once an appendage of the Clear Sky Sect. That old Bai He was our Clear Sky Sect's servant back in the day! Now that his granddaughter's been blessed with good fortune, we can go pay them a visit and rekindle old ties. We'll appeal to their emotions and reason, and persuade the Speed Clan to return to the Clear Sky Sect. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
The elders exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up.
Exactly!
The Speed Clan had once been an appendage of the Clear Sky Sect!
Though they'd long since gone their separate ways, that "bond between master and servant" still remained.
With that bond, as long as they could win the Speed Clan back over, wouldn't the secret of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique fall right into their hands?
The First Elder stood and stroked his beard, brimming with confidence.
"I'll handle this personally."
"She's just a little girl who's only recently reached level 92. I'm at the peak of level 94. She'll be easy to handle. If she doesn't know what's good for her, I'll show her what a true Titled Douluo is!"
Somewhere in the mountains along the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Bai Chenxiang sat cross-legged on a large stone, eyes closed as she meditated.
The fifty-thousand-year Torso Soul Bone she'd just fused with would need some time to fully adapt to her body.
Suddenly, a powerful aura descended from the sky!
Bai Chenxiang's eyes flew open. A figure streaked across the heavens and landed steadily ten zhang in front of her.
He was an old man with a full head of white hair and beard, standing straight as a pine. Nine Soul Rings revolved around him, radiating an oppressive aura.
It was the Clear Sky Sect's First Elder.
"Miss Bai." The First Elder stroked his beard, a kindly smile on his face. "I am the First Elder of the Clear Sky Sect. Forgive me for this unannounced visit."
Bai Chenxiang stood and furrowed her brow slightly. The Clear Sky Sect?
She asked coolly, "What is it?"
The First Elder's smile didn't change. "The Speed Clan and the Clear Sky Sect have quite a history together. Your grandfather, Bai He, was once—"
He paused, then changed his wording.
"—a trusted subordinate of our sect. Now that you've been blessed with good fortune and become a Titled Douluo, it brings me great comfort. I've come today to invite you and the Speed Clan to return to the Clear Sky Sect."
Bai Chenxiang's brow furrowed even deeper.
Return to the Clear Sky Sect?
She let out a cold laugh. Back then, the Speed Clan had served the Clear Sky Sect faithfully, always at its beck and call. And how had they been treated in return?
Ordered around like servants!
Then, because of the Tang Hao incident, the Clear Sky Sect had shut its gates and driven out the Four Single-Attribute Clans.
Whenever her grandfather brought up those days, his eyes filled with deep humiliation and resentment.
Now that they saw an advantage, they remembered their old bond between master and servant?
"No need."
Bai Chenxiang rejected him outright, her tone cold. "The Speed Clan has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect anymore. Please leave."
