Ring Detonation Damages the Mind; Ye Xishui Plans to Turn Tang Hao into a Brainwashed Puppet

The battle between Ye Xishui and Tang Hao was so terrifying that it left everyone feeling exceptionally peaceful afterward.

When Meng Chen finally realized how peaceful and idyllic life had become, he knew that the person who had been bearing the burden for him had been taken care of.

When Meng Chen felt a blur before his eyes, Ye Xishui appeared in front of him carrying Tang Hao, Ning Rongrong was still in shock.

Although her Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather sometimes sparred within the sect, it would never have caused such widespread damage.

Is this the true strength of Titled Douluo?!

Ning Rongrong reached out to straighten her clothes, which were now dirty and disheveled from her hasty escape, her fingers still trembling slightly.

She almost died in Soto City last night, and experiencing so many events in one night was something even she, the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, couldn't quite process.

In situations like these, it's essential to use small actions to calm your mind and avoid making irrational decisions in a panic.

After a short while, Ning Rongrong finally felt her mood calm down a bit.

She said to Ye Xishui, "Thank you both for saving my life. May I ask your honorable names, senior?"

Zhu Zhuqing also bowed to Meng Chen and Ye Xishui to express her gratitude.

She was already tall, so the visual impact of her bowing was even more striking.

Ye Xishui waved her hand. "You don't need to thank me. Although I sensed the thief's movements early on, I wouldn't have gotten involved if my disciple Meng Chen hadn't pleaded with me."

Ye Xishui's words left Meng Chen completely bewildered. When did I beg and plead?

"Little guy, you're getting your chance, make the most of it!"

Hearing Ye Xishui's telepathic message, Meng Chen was speechless.

Good grief, what do they take me for? Do you think I'd demand their bodies in return for their kindness? Putting aside Giant God Peak, do you think I'm that kind of person?

Meng Chen looked at Zhu Zhuqing with utter disdain.

Okay, I can't get rid of it.

After hearing Ye Xishui's words, Ning Rongrong looked at Meng Chen and said sincerely with gratitude, "Meng Chen, thank you. If it weren't for you, Zhu Zhuqing and I would probably... I, Ning Rongrong, will remember this favor. In the future, if there's anything the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can do to help, just let me know."

Meng Chen felt a little strange after hearing Ning Rongrong's words.

Is it possible that we've actually been family for a long time?

However, such things are better left unsaid, so Meng Chen casually smiled and said, "It was nothing, besides, I've been annoyed with Tang San for a long time."

"He always pretends to be very righteous and awe-inspiring. Even though he does the same things, he accuses others of courting death. He is the pure and innocent Tang San Shao, who packages his own interests under the cloak of morality to judge everyone."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both agreed with Meng Chen's words.

"Alright, what are you planning to do next? Spend the night here?"

Meng Chen said half-jokingly.

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "We need to hurry back to Heaven Dou City. Last night, Uncle Zhang... I need to go back and report to my father. Zhu Zhuqing is coming with me; she can't stay at Shrek any longer."

Meng Chen was somewhat surprised to hear this. Zhu Zhuqing and Shrek had fallen out?

He originally thought that the pursuit of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing was only the work of Tang San.

Meng Chen glanced at Zhu Zhuqing: "Have you thought it through?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and said without hesitation, "There's no point in staying in a place like Shrek to study. They just tame geniuses into obedient geniuses."

At this point, Zhu Zhuqing paused, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping across Meng Chen's face. "If we have the chance to meet again in the future... I will repay this favor today."

Meng Chen waved his hand. "We'll talk about the future later. My master and I have things to do. You guys go ahead and be careful on the road."

Ning Rongrong nodded, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and left.

After walking a distance, Zhu Zhuqing turned around unintentionally and found Meng Chen watching her. She immediately blushed and quickly turned her head back, never looking back again.

Only the tips of her bright red ears could reveal a glimpse into a young girl's inner thoughts.

"Little guy, you're really amazing..."

Ye Xishui smiled meaningfully.

"..."

Meng Chen was speechless. He turned around and looked at Tang Hao, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

The once mighty Clear Sky Douluo now lies in the dust, his tattered robe covered in dirt, his disheveled hair obscuring most of his face, and his breathing weak and disordered.

It's as if he'll start singing lotus flower ballad as soon as he wakes up.

Meng Chen couldn't help but sigh, realizing that even the mighty Clear Sky Douluo was no different from a beggar after being knocked unconscious.

Seeing Meng Chen staring at Tang Hao, Ye Xishui asked, "Little guy, your opponent got away. Should I chase after him? At his speed, he can catch him in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Meng Chen shook his head. "No need. It's too boring to kill him so quickly. Letting him run around outside and give me some fun from time to time will keep my days from getting too boring."

Ye Xishui glanced at Meng Chen in surprise, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

What a bold and confident little guy!

However, Meng Chen was now thinking that keeping Tang San around might bring him even more surprises.

Look, Tang San has now helped him boost the favorability of the three beauties again, so the Douluo Continent 9-out-of-4 selection has been rounded up to 9-out-of-5.

"There's no need to worry about Tang San," Meng Chen said, squatting down beside Tang Hao and checking his pulse. Even with his serious injuries, Tang Hao's pulse was strong, befitting Titled Douluo. "But this one..."

How should this be handled?

Kill him outright? He's a Titled Douluo, it seems like a waste.

Seeing Meng Chen's conflicted expression, Ye Xishui suggested, "His mind is extremely weakened after the backlash from the Ring Detonation, and his Divine Power defenses are almost completely gone. Combining this with the secret techniques of my Holy Spirit Cult, we should be able to train him into an absolutely obedient slave."

She paused, a deep light flashing in her eyes. "Although this person's level is a bit low, his Martial Soul quality and talent are quite good. If we train him, he would be a great help."

The level is a bit too low...

Meng Chen's lips twitched, but Ye Xishui could actually say that.

"If that's the case, then this is troublesome."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Meng Chen nodded.

The two then carried the unconscious Tang Hao back to the hotel.

The door was slammed open with a "bang!" and Tang San practically tumbled and crawled into the room, then hid under the bed.

His face was as pale as paper, and his body was covered in mud, filthy and smelly, as if he had just been pulled out of a mud pit.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Is that woman even human? Six black and three red Soul Ring, such a terrifying aura!

When Tang San saw her, he felt his head was filled with fear, as if it were about to explode.

He instinctively ran away, but didn't know where to go. He eventually ended up under his bed in his room at the Shrek Academy, the safest place in his subconscious.
