Sign In in Qian Renxue's Arms, Becoming Douluo's Great Villain Chapter 44

"How... how is this possible?!"

The moment Lin Fan released his martial soul and soul rings, the father and his two children stood frozen in place, dumbstruck!

Huo Bao, in particular, was so shocked by Lin Fan's soul ring configuration that his jaw nearly hit the floor!

His first soul ring was already at the thousand-year level, and his sixth had reached 100,000 years! This was something he hadn't even dared to dream of!

Furthermore, the moment Lin Fan's martial soul appeared, the Blazing Tiger martial soul behind Huo Bao let out a whimper of fear, its body trembling uncontrollably as it curled up in silence!

"Heh heh, my good son-in-law is truly formidable. You've passed the test!"

Just as Lin Fan stood on high alert, ready for a grand showdown with his future father-in-law, Huo Bao burst into laughter. He retracted his martial soul and walked straight over to pat Lin Fan on the shoulder. The intimacy of his attitude was a complete reversal from before, making Lin Fan wonder if he were dreaming!

"Dad, I told you my sister's judgment wouldn't be wrong, but you wouldn't listen and got me beaten up again!"

Huo Wushuang walked over with a bitter expression, rubbing his backside, which still ached from being thrown to the ground by Lin Fan earlier.

"You two... so you were setting me up!"

Huo Wu finally snapped out of her daze, ran over, and pinched Huo Bao hard on the waist!

"You silly girl, your father was only doing this for your happiness!"

Huo Bao explained with a helpless expression.

He had indeed engaged Lin Fan to test the strength of his future son-in-law and to understand what kind of charm Lin Fan possessed to make his high-standard, precious daughter fall for him in such a short time.

But the moment Lin Fan revealed his soul rings and martial soul, all of Huo Bao's doubts were shattered!

With Lin Fan's strength and cultivation talent, he was destined to become one of the top figures on the Douluo Continent. If he weren't good enough for Huo Wu, then no one in the world would be worthy of being his son-in-law!

With such a golden catch, Huo Bao would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to continue making things difficult for Lin Fan!

"Boy, although your strength is formidable, you must not bully Huo Wu. Otherwise, I'll risk this old life of mine to deal with you!"

Huo Bao's expression turned serious as he spoke to Lin Fan.

"Rest assured, Father-in-law. A girl like Huo Wu is a treasure bestowed upon me by the heavens; I couldn't possibly love her enough!"

"If I ever let her shed a single tear, I'll shed a bucket of blood!"

Lin Fan patted his chest in assurance.

"Good! Haha, I've already had the servants prepare a feast. Let's have a drink together!"

Huo Bao was in high spirits, pulling Lin Fan toward the house!

"Father-in-law, during our spar, I noticed some blockages in your soul power circulation. Do you often feel a burning sensation in your body during your daily cultivation?"

After they were seated, Lin Fan stared at Huo Bao and asked.

"You... how did you know?!"

Huo Bao's eyes widened as he looked Lin Fan up and down!

This ailment had plagued him for decades, and as his strength and age increased, the frequency of these physical issues had only grown!

Over the years, Huo Bao had sought out many physicians and taken countless medicines, but none of them had any effect!

"As I thought. While the fire-attribute martial souls inherited by your family are extremely powerful in combat, the scorching soul power also places an unbearable burden on your meridians!"

"The damage caused to your meridians over time is irreversible. If this continues, there is a risk of your body exploding from the pressure!"

Lin Fan said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Huo Bao frowned, his expression turning grave.

"Lin Fan, is there any way to heal my father's injuries?"

Huo Wu's pretty face filled with worry as she grabbed Lin Fan's arm and asked.

"Don't worry!"

Lin Fan patted Huo Wu's shoulder to comfort her, then took two pills from his Storage Soul Tool, handing one to Huo Bao and the other to Huo Wushuang.

"These are Tendon-Strengthening and Bone-Fortifying Pills that I refined. They can repair and reinforce your internal meridians, ensuring that even the most violent fire-attribute soul power won't be able to harm you in the slightest..."

It was fortunate that he had collected many immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, otherwise, his massive harem really wouldn't have been enough to go around!

Huo Bao and Huo Wushuang didn't hesitate and swallowed the pills immediately!

They could clearly feel that after the pills hit their throats, they flowed through their entire bodies like cool spring water. Their meridians felt as if a parched riverbed had been nourished by rain, and they felt an indescribable sense of relief throughout their bodies!

"Ah... that feels amazing!"

Huo Bao couldn't help but cry out; he hadn't felt this relaxed and comfortable in decades!

"What about Huo Wu? How is her physical condition?"

Seeing that Lin Fan hadn't given Huo Wu a pill, Huo Bao asked with some confusion.

"Father-in-law, there is no need to worry about that. I have a special treatment method for Huo Wu..."

Lin Fan coughed dryly. As long as Huo Wu cultivated with him, they could achieve a balance of yin and yang, and her constitution would only continue to improve!

"Oh..."

Huo Bao's expression turned to one of realization, followed by a sly smile.

"Good son-in-law, you and Huo Wu should get some good rest here tonight. Don't worry, there's no one else around, so it doesn't matter how much noise you make!"

Such a blunt remark from his father-in-law actually left Lin Fan feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Dad~!"

Huo Wu let out a coquettish cry, the crimson blush on her face spreading all the way to her earlobes.

"Alright, alright, you're old enough now, why are you still so shy? Hurry up and put in some effort; I'm still waiting to hold my grandchild!"

"And you! Your sister has already found a fine husband, yet you're still a single dog!"

Huo Bao grabbed Huo Wushuang by the ear and walked away, grumbling as he went.

The scene before him filled Lin Fan with deep emotion. In his previous life, he had lost both parents and grown up in an orphanage, never knowing what family affection tasted like.

The heartwarming scene just now actually gave him a sense of home.

With Lin Fan and Huo Wu alone in the room, a night of intimacy was inevitable. Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Huo Bao and Huo Wushuang, Lin Fan took Huo Wu and departed.

Huo Wu would be withdrawing from Blazing Academy to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team, and Huo Bao had no objections to this.

Given the strength of Blazing Academy, winning the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was practically impossible.

By joining Lin Fan's team, Huo Wu would be considered a member of the squad if they won the championship; this was a move with only benefits and no drawbacks.

"Brother Lin Fan, you're back!"

"Let's go, it just so happens we have our Soul Fighting match today!"

As soon as he returned to their lodging, he saw Xiao Wu and the others coming out to greet him.

"Oh? Which team is so eager to get beaten up!?"

Lin Fan asked. By now, his reputation was well-established; there was no way these teams in the Heaven Dou Empire could defeat him, so why bother courting humiliation?

"It's the Blue Tyrant Academy where Tang San is. I heard they originally planned to forfeit, but their Dean wouldn't allow it, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet!"

Xiao Wu explained.

"Dean? That must be Liu Erlong... Well then, I really should thank her properly!"

Lin Fan sneered inwardly. In the original story, Liu Erlong had a fiery temper and a strong, unyielding personality.

For her, voluntarily forfeiting was nothing short of a disgrace.

However, this was a massive stroke of luck for Lin Fan. He had been spending Villain Points heavily lately and was worried about not being able to find Tang San to "harvest the leeks," yet here the boy was, delivering himself right to his doorstep.

"You girls stay at the hotel, I'm going alone!"

Lin Fan left Huo Wu in Xiao Wu's care so the girls could bond, while he headed toward the Soul Fighting Arena by himself.

"Erlong, why won't you listen to me and let Little San and the others forfeit!"

In the spectator stands, Yu Xiaogang questioned the woman beside him.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a simple cyan cloth dress, her long, dark hair cascading like a waterfall down to her shapely hips.

Her features were exquisite and moving, her brows like a painting, and a brilliant luster radiated from her jet-black eyes.

Her incredibly fiery and curvaceous figure was something ordinary young girls could never hope to match.

She was the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong.

"Xiaogang, why have you become so timid? So what if that brat Lin Fan is powerful?"

"Losing isn't scary; being afraid is what's truly shameful! I absolutely will not allow my students to retreat without a fight!"

Liu Erlong's tone was resolute.

"Sigh!"

Yu Xiaogang could only sigh helplessly. He had experienced Lin Fan's strength firsthand; it was something that simply couldn't be measured by conventional logic.

Fighting other powerful peers might sharpen one's mind even in defeat, but Lin Fan was different.

For Tang San and the others to fight Lin Fan was simply asking to be abused and to have their confidence shattered.

"I hope that move can be effective. Even if it can't defeat Lin Fan, at least it shouldn't be too ugly a loss..."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the Soul Fighting Arena with a grave expression, muttering to himself.

"The next two teams to compete are Blue Tyrant Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team!"

"May both teams please take the stage!"

As the host's voice faded, Lin Fan strolled onto the Soul Fighting Arena as if he were out for a casual walk, his nonchalant expression making it seem like he was just window-shopping.

"Heh, Tang San, I didn't think you'd actually have the courage to face me!"

Lin Fan's gaze slowly swept across the field. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar—these were all old acquaintances!

"Little San? What do we do!?"

The group looked grave, huddling behind Tang San.

They had already witnessed Lin Fan's power; if they used the same tactics as before, it would only result in a miserable defeat.

"Let's use that move!"

Tang San clenched his fists, gritting his teeth after a moment.

"Right!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, then nodded heavily.

Originally, they had intended to save their ultimate trump card for the final match, but facing Lin Fan now, they could not accept the humiliating prospect of defeat and had no choice but to reveal their hand early.

Boom! Boom!

As wave after wave of powerful soul power rippled outward, all seven members of Blue Tyrant Academy unleashed their martial souls.

They lined up in a row, each person placing their hands on the back of the one in front, with Tang San leading the formation.

"Is this... a Seven-in-One Soul Fusion Skill!? How is that possible!"

An uproar erupted from the spectator stands.

In the main seat, Emperor Xue Ye's eyes widened, his gaze locked firmly on the position of Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Sect Master Ning, is that truly a Seven-in-One Soul Fusion Skill?!"

Emperor Xue Ye's voice trembled involuntarily; even a two-person soul fusion skill required perfectly matched martial souls and an incredibly high level of unspoken rapport.

It was unimaginable what level a seven-person soul fusion skill might reach.

"I don't think so. They are merely channeling their soul power into Tang San; their martial souls haven't fused. It should only be a fusion technique..."

"However, even if it is just a fusion technique, the attack power Tang San can unleash will be comparable to that of a Soul Douluo. I fear Lin Fan will find it difficult to withstand."

Ning Fengzhi's expression grew grave; he had not expected Blue Tyrant Academy to possess such a trump card.

Tang San opened his palm, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, rapidly expanding until it reached nearly twenty feet in size.

The inexhaustible vitality from the seven of them converged upon the Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to overflow with light as terrifying energy fluctuations radiated a crushing sense of oppression.
