Tang Chuan, the Evil Soul Master Killing Machine; Undefeated in One Hundred Diamond Spirit Battles; Hu Liena and Dai Mubai Break Down

"Damn it, why did the Heavenly Screen have to cut off here?"

"Did Tang San successfully absorb his ten-thousand-year fourth ring or not?"

"Come to think of it, I heard someone say that during this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, a four-ring Soul Ancestor from the Heaven Dou Empire appeared with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. Could that person be Tang San?"

"That makes no sense! Ten-thousand-year soul rings come with soul shock. Even I, a Soul King, barely endured it when absorbing one. How could a three-ring Soul Master like him manage it?"

"Besides, doesn't the book say the maximum age for a fourth soul ring is only five thousand years?"

"This was personally written by Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang."

"What a joke. He doesn't even have the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor himself, so what qualifications does he have to write about this? He probably just learned the highest age limits from other soul masters and compiled them."

"Could it be immortal herbs?"

"Soul shock is related to spiritual power. He must have eaten an immortal herb related to spiritual power to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth ring."

"Oh, the intelligence for the second part is here."

"I wonder what level Tang Chuan from the Black World was at when he was twelve?"

"Tang San was already level twenty-nine. Tang Chuan should at least be around level thirty-four or thirty-five, right? Otherwise, it would be a little unworthy of his imposing aura."

As they watched the information displayed on the Heavenly Screen, the members of Shrek in the White World wore varying expressions.

Tang San's eyes widened. "What?! Why doesn't Tang Chuan from the Black World have his level displayed? And his second soul ring is nearly eight thousand years old?"

Oscar's mouth hung open as well. "Damn, a twelve-year-old Holy Son of Spirit Hall? And this Evil Soul Master Killing Machine? That title is way too badass."

"Undefeated through one hundred Diamond Spirit Battles? He never lost a single match? How is that possible?"

Yu Xiaogang found it even harder to believe.

As the teacher who had personally led Shrek through many spirit battle arenas, he had already lost much of his confidence after just a few Silver Spirit Battles.

Yet Tang Chuan had forcibly leaped across eight ranks, fighting his way from Bronze Spirit Battles to Diamond Spirit Battles without losing a single match.

It was simply terrifying.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at the position of her name on the Heavenly Screen, her gaze incomparably complicated as she sank into deep silence.

Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly. "I knew the me from the other world definitely wouldn't escape him. Tang Chuan has me completely under his thumb. But why you too, Zhuqing..."

Xiao Wu frowned in surprise. "Yeah. Didn't you flee toward the Heaven Dou Empire after escaping the Star Luo Empire, Zhuqing? Why does it look like you ran to Spirit Hall instead?"

Ma Hongjun dropped to his knees and burst into tears of despair.

"Are we supposed to live like this?"

"That absurdly beautiful Blue Silver Douluo, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing would be one thing, but how did even the two from Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Spirit Hall's Golden Generation fall too?"

"And most importantly, why are there ellipses after that?!"

"How many does he even want?"

"Why doesn't he just take down Her Holiness the Pope while he's at it?"

Ma Hongjun wailed miserably.

Fortunately, most people had their attention on the Heavenly Screen and ignored him. Otherwise, that offense of disrespect alone would have been enough to make him suffer.

Of course.

The ones suffering the most here were not Ma Hongjun.

They were Dai Mubai and Hu Liena.

Not long ago, Dai Mubai had told Tang San, "If you want life to be good, you've got to wear a little green on your head!"

Then Zhu Zhuqing from the Black World became someone else's spouse.

He could already feel the character for "king" on his forehead faintly turning green.

Burning with rage, he glared at Zhu Zhuqing.

"What are you looking at? What does this have to do with Zhuqing?"

"If you've got the guts, go find Tang Chuan in the Black World and cause trouble for him!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to notice Dai Mubai's expression.

She immediately stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing with Xiao Wu, baring her teeth as they glared at him.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was equally cold.

"W-what does this have to do with you?"

Dai Mubai was utterly stifled. Ning Rongrong was so irritating.

She always came over to get in his way.

If not for her Titled Douluo grandfather, he would have long since...

In the end, Dai Mubai could only snort with an ugly expression, turn away, and let his eyes see no more.

The audience seats on the other side were equally lively.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"How could Nana possibly fall for such a scumbag who flirts everywhere?"

"The Heavenly Screen must be lying."

Yan's originally sallow face instantly turned deathly pale.

He clutched his head, looking completely unable to believe it.

Xie Yue's expression twitched slightly.

Although he knew his sister did indeed have a thing for men with Tang Chuan's looks,

when it was truly confirmed that Tang Chuan had won his sister over,

his feelings were still quite complicated.

Hu Liena's face alternated between red and white, while a flicker of guilt and embarrassment occasionally flashed through her eyes.

At first, she had repeatedly guaranteed and stubbornly insisted that the her from the Black World definitely would not like Tang Chuan.

Yet how long had it been?

Her face had been slapped swollen.

But asking her to admit it now—

the pride in her heart would not allow it.

Not long after.

Yan, whose resolve was nearly shattered, suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, I get it. Tang Chuan must have been the one who went after Nana in the Black World!"

"He only joined Spirit Hall when he was six."

"And Nana would have been eleven or twelve at most back then."

"If he used the same methods he used on Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong to pursue Nana,"

"Nana definitely wouldn't be able to handle him."

"What an utter bastard."

"Nana was still so young. How could he dare lay his hands on her?"

Hu Liena thought it over for a long while.

She also felt that Yan made sense.

With her personality... she would not take the initiative to pursue Tang Chuan...

P-probably.

Hu Liena felt somewhat uneasy and unconfident.

Just as everyone was filled with righteous indignation,

the scene from the Black World gradually lit up as well.

However.

Compared to Tang San's relatively ordinary opening in the White World,

this time, the Black World was somewhat different.

Because the protagonist from this god's-eye perspective was actually a girl in a black dress.

The girl's features were exquisitely beautiful, every contour seeming to have been carefully sculpted by heaven itself, flawless and perfect.

Her eyes were clear and tranquil.

Her ink-black hair cascaded straight down her back.

Yet her expression was exceptionally cold.

This was not a deliberate pretense.

It was a pure chill that genuinely came from within.

However.

In stark contrast to her frosty face

was the girl's tall and well-proportioned, voluptuous, curvaceous, and fiery figure.

It perfectly fused utmost coldness with sensuality.

["So this is Spirit City?"]

[The girl in black stared at the gates, whose technology far surpassed that of the Star Luo Empire, and fell into deep thought.]

"Th-this is Zhuqing, isn't it?"

Ning Rongrong could not help widening her eyes.

She cried out in shock.
