One Ring vs. Two Rings? He's Winning With His Head?

Mu En looked at Gu An.

The expression in his cloudy, aged eyes, which had just relaxed slightly now that the matter had come to a temporary close, tightened once more.

The corners of his mouth lost all trace of a curve, and the wrinkles on his brow deepened.

His voice turned cold.

"So, what else do you want?!"

Gu An paid no mind to the unsightly expressions on the faces of the Shrek Academy crowd.

He simply smiled casually, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Nothing much."

"I just want them to have a match with me, that is all."

"To vent some frustration for my younger sister."

After saying this, Gu An felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

If he didn't want to attract the premature attention of God King Tang, he would have had Leng Yaozhu tear Shrek Academy apart right then and there.

Unfortunately.

He still had too few bodyguards.

The entire Spirit Transmission Academy had only Leng Yaozhu as a Limit Douluo; adding himself and Mother Gu, they had only three core members at most.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect was wealthy, they could not be relied upon for combat power at all.

Moreover, no one knew how much strength the Blue Silver Empress A Yin, residing within the Golden Ancient Tree of Shrek Academy, still retained.

Or whether she would step in to help at a critical moment.

There was also an even greater variable.

Tang Hao and the world consciousness of this realm.

Gu An could not figure out at all who held the upper hand between the world consciousness of Douluo Continent and Tang Hao.

He had to play it safe.

He absolutely had to play it safe.

The enemy was never Huo Yuhao, nor Wang Dong, nor Zhou Yi, and not even Mu En.

It was the person standing behind them.

The Asura God, Tang San.

In the third installment of Douluo Continent, Title Douluos and Limit Douluos were indeed strong; Leng Yaozhu alone could suppress five elders of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek.

But that was only compared to mortals.

Compared to the Asura God, they were not even in the same dimension.

Jokes were jokes, but he couldn't gamble with his own life; having transmigrated here, he had no intention of courting death.

Once the world's origin awakened, he wouldn't have to be so restricted.

However, he wouldn't remain entirely passive; he would look for an opportunity during his duel with Huo Yuhao to see if he could kill him!

The Shrek Academy side fell into a silence after hearing Gu An's words.

Everyone's gaze landed on Gu An, sizing him up from head to toe.

Because the pressure Leng Yaozhu exerted on them was so intense, it had forced them into a pattern of habitual thinking.

They guessed that the young boy she brought must also be a genius.

They just didn't know exactly how strong his current power was.

Gu An watched their silent reaction, the corners of his mouth curling slightly as he realized what they were thinking.

"Let me introduce myself."

"Gu An, a one-ring all-rounder Spirit Master."

The people on the Shrek side were all stunned; they looked at one another, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

They hadn't expected this, truly not expected this!

Because they had the Limit Douluo Leng Yaozhu—with her six black and three red spirit rings—standing before them, their expectations for Gu An—or rather, their vigilance and the importance they placed on him—had been raised to an extremely high level.

They had assumed this young boy was at least a two-ring, perhaps even a three-ring or four-ring Spirit Master.

But as it turned out...

One ring! A mere one-ring Spirit Master!! And some unheard-of "all-rounder" type at that.

Wasn't this just a free gift? Did he come here just to get beaten up?

Xuanzi, who had finally been healed awake by Zhuang Yusen, was the first who couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

His face still bore the pallor and bloodstains from the torture of Phoenix Cry in the Nine Heavens.

Even though he was still in pain, Xuanzi laughed heartily nonetheless.

"One ring? A mere one-ring Spirit Master wants to avenge a two-ring Spirit Master who has already lost the match?"

"Are you joking?"

The others were slightly more composed and didn't laugh out loud, but the expressions on their faces relaxed significantly.

They didn't even think twice before intending to agree.

A one-ring fighting a two-ring—no matter how talented that little boy was, it was impossible for him to win.

Huo Yuhao was only one-ring, but he wasn't the point; the point was that Wang Dong was already a two-ring Great Spirit Master.

Two against one, how could they lose? It was impossible!

Gu An was a genius, but who in Shrek Academy wasn't?

They didn't believe in the possibility of someone crossing a ring level to defeat a superior.

Only Mu En wasn't so impulsive; he played it safe.

His cloudy eyes stared at Gu An, sizing him up and down several times.

Then, he asked, "Little child, how old are you now?"

Gu An blinked.

An innocent, guileless smile appeared on his face, his eyes curving into crescents, looking exceptionally handsome.

Even the old women, young wives, and maidens on the opposing side felt the urge to pull him into their arms and cuddle him.

"I'm only six years old~~"

This expression lasted for less than three seconds.

The corners of Gu An's mouth began to twitch, his brows furrowed, and a dry retch escaped his throat.

The look of disgust on his face was undisguised.

He had successfully disgusted himself.

The people from Shrek Academy breathed a sigh of relief; six years old with one ring, it was just innate full spirit power.

However, innate full spirit power was not rare at Shrek Academy.

Every incoming class produced a few seedlings with innate full spirit power; it was nothing special.

Yet, while they breathed a sigh of relief, their faces looked as if they had swallowed dead flies.

Because they thought of something else.

How the hell could a six-year-old be the older brother of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl?

When he was deceiving them just now, he had put on a show, saying "This is my little sister," acting as if it were true.

And now?

He wasn't even bothering to pretend anymore, was he?

A six-year-old brother and an eleven-year-old sister.

How could he have said such nonsense with a straight face?

It was simply too shameless!

Xuanzi's face flushed red again, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, and the veins on his forehead throbbed incessantly.

It could only be said that he was worthy of being a Super Douluo; his body recovered quickly.

However, the listless look on his face showed that he was merely putting on a brave front.

When had his Shrek Academy ever been played by a brat so many times?!

This was intolerable!

Xuanzi took half a step forward.

Then, his gaze involuntarily swept over Leng Yaozhu, who was standing behind Gu An.

Leng Yaozhu was crossing her arms, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, a faint, elusive smile hanging on her lips.

Xuanzi retracted his foot, shut his mouth, and chose to yield.

Zhuang Yusen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing Xuanzi wasn't impulsive; otherwise, if it happened again, I wouldn't be able to save him."

Seeing this, a flash of disappointment crossed the depths of Gu An's eyes.

What a pity.

If Xuanzi had been a bit more brainless, a bit more impulsive, and actually dared to make a move, he could have let Sister Yaozhu strike again and give this old thing an even harsher beating.

Although there was no chance, Gu An wasn't too disappointed.

It was fine for Xuanzi to keep living.

His life was something he would take with his own hands in the future.

There was no rush.

Over at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance.

A flash of light crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes.

His gaze landed on Gu An, scanning him up and down.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, this woman and this brat had suddenly appeared and attacked him without a word.

To save him, Brother Sky Dream had been wounded by that woman's Sky Phoenix True Fire and remained in a deep slumber to this day.

He himself had nearly died there as well.

Now, this brat had delivered himself to his doorstep, demanding a fight.

What grade were his spirit rings? Did he really think they were worthy of comparison to his million-year spirit ring?

Although he was only a one-ring Spirit Master, every one of the four spirit skills Brother Sky Dream had given him was far superior to anything at his level.

Was he supposed to be afraid of a six-year-old brat?

Even if he couldn't truly do anything to the boy, he would trample this guy underfoot and make him understand the consequences of provoking him.

Wang Dong stood beside Huo Yuhao, hands on her hips, chin tilted upward.

Her reasoning was much simpler.

There was no deep-seated hatred; she was just purely annoyed.

Xiao Xiao was supposed to be their teammate, yet she had somehow been bewitched by this brat named Gu An and was now siding with an outsider.

And now, this brat wanted to vent his frustrations on her behalf.

Let's see who ends up being the punching bag...

Wang Dong's eyes were filled with nothing but disdain.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong raised their heads in unison, looking at Gu An.

Their voices rang out almost simultaneously.

"We accept."
