The group soon returned to Suotuo City. Luo Yihe wanted to settle down and properly study alchemy, so he told Xiao Chenghe and Zhu Zhuqing to have some fun at the Soul Fighting Arena or cultivate on their own. However, they had to return to the hotel every day and report that they were safe in the group chat every two hours. He needed to enter seclusion for a while.
Xiao Chenghe and Zhu Zhuqing both nodded, indicating that they had no objections. Every night, the two went to the Soul Fighting Arena for one-on-one matches or fought on the life-and-death stage.
While Luo Yihe devoted himself to comprehending alchemy, Xiao Chenghe and Zhu Zhuqing were having the time of their lives at the Soul Fighting Arena. Both maintained perfect winning records, and their victories came with ease.
For a time, Xiao Chenghe's nickname, Rune Battle Bear, and Zhu Zhuqing's nickname, Hell Spirit Cat, resounded throughout Suotuo City.
Quite a few family factions came to recruit them, but both turned them down.
On the eighth day of their adventures in the Soul Fighting Arena, Xiao Chenghe and Zhu Zhuqing ran into the Shrek group. They were even more shocked when they saw Tang San.
They had all thought Tang San was dead. Not only was he alive and well, but after losing the Eight Spider Lances, his aura was somehow even stronger than before.
After observing Tang San fight, they were even more astonished. He was completely like a different person. His combat experience and his use of soul skills and Soul Rings were incomparable to what they had been just days ago. It was simply unbelievable.
That night, Xiao Chenghe told Luo Yihe everything about Tang San. Luo Yihe merely replied, "Maybe he just got lucky. You don't need to care about him. We were never on the same path anyway. If he provokes us, then if we could kill him once, we can kill him a second time."
Though Luo Yihe said that, only he knew that this Tang San clearly was not the same Tang San as before. Luo Yihe guessed that, like Huo Yuhao, he might have traveled through time from the future or from another timeline. Still, Luo Yihe was not worried.
In his eyes, Tang San was actually pretty trash. As a Titled Douluo, he could not beat Bibi Dong. After becoming a god, he still could not beat Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue working together. He could not even win a one-against-two fight and needed a stronger god to step in and save his life.
After becoming a dual God King with several super divine artifacts in hand, he fought the God King of Destruction. He only won after tricking his opponent into wasting a major move first, with Ning Rongrong and Oscar supporting him as well. And the God King of Destruction was stated to have no super divine artifacts. Only then did he manage to defeat him.
He truly did not understand how Tang San, a player who could only dominate low-level matches and bully rookies, had turned Douluo Continent into his own backyard and the Divine Realm into his private property.
His strength was lacking, and his brain was about as big as a sunflower seed. Thinking of this, Luo Yihe once again began looking down on everyone on Douluo Continent.
This life had no difficulty at all! So what if Tang San had reincarnated? Wouldn't he still be clinging to that Mysterious Heaven Skill of his? Had the difficulty increased? He did not feel it at all. Not even a little.
Luo Yihe shook his head and stopped thinking about other things. He should first properly study the Complete Alchemy Techniques.
The following night, Luo Yihe still could not resist his curiosity. After sending Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Chenghe a text message, he ran to the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena to watch the excitement.
When he saw that Tang San was still using the same old Mysterious Heaven Skill routine, Luo Yihe finally set his mind at ease. After all, what he had thought about yesterday was only stuff from storybooks. It could not be trusted as fact.
Now Luo Yihe began to look down equally on everyone in the Douluo Universe.
Not only could they be oppressed and schemed against by such useless trash until they died, but even their family fortunes would be completely swallowed up by others.
Did these people have the nerve to make Luo Yihe look at them head-on?
As Luo Yihe thought all sorts of nonsense, he suddenly felt as though he was somehow superior to everyone else.
Since he was already superior, then he, the great philanthropist Luo, would reluctantly rule the entire Douluo Universe in the future.
When the time came, he—ah, ptooey—should call himself the Human Emperor. Then he would forge the Human Emperor Sword, engrave the Human Emperor Seal, write the River Diagram and Luo Writing, and craft the Nine Provinces Cauldrons.
The entire Douluo Universe would flourish in the hands of Human Emperor Luo. When that time came, he would make them all study. For them to be this stupid and still live so long, it was only because the average IQ in this universe was just that high.
"Ah! Help!"
A sudden scream pulled Luo Yihe back from his fantasies.
Fuck, I really am the protagonist. Look, isn't the hero-saving-the-beauty scene here already? I don't even need to write the next part. The girl is guaranteed to offer herself to me.
"Hehehe, this chick E Kao is quite something."
"Of course. I've had my eye on her for almost a week."
The alley was dimly lit. Bu Le swayed his body frivolously as he blocked the girl's path, a greasy, lecherous grin hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Beside him, the gaunt Tianya toyed with his kitchen-knife martial soul as he paced back and forth, blocking the escape route. The short, fat E Kao blocked the side as well, his face full of ill intent as he firmly trapped the girl in the corner.
Bu Le leisurely stepped forward, his tone frivolous and sleazy. "Little girl, don't be afraid. Come play with your big brothers. We guarantee you won't lose out~"
The girl backed away in terror, her face pale and her whole body tense. Seeing the three men close in step by step, they were about to reach out and grab her.
Luo Yihe made a dazzling entrance, descending like a king from the heavens. Without holding back any of his strength, he smashed a brick viciously into Bu Le's face.
Bu Le cried out in pain, and a mouthful of teeth scattered across the ground.
Luo Yihe showed no mercy. He used Teleportation repeatedly, continuously aiming the brick at their heads. Every single blow carried his full strength.
Before long, the three were clutching their heads and wailing endlessly on the ground. They were only three Soul Ancestors; they could not even withstand a second blow.
Luo Yihe first hung them from a streetlamp, then teleported in front of this incredibly curvaceous young lady!
"Beauty, your hero has come riding on seven-colored clouds to save you!"
Luo Yihe snapped his fingers, and a rose appeared in his hand. He offered it to the beautiful young lady.
"Th... thank you."
The girl instantly blushed. Her fright turned into shock in the blink of an eye.
Three Soul Ancestors had actually been taken down by a few bricks from the young man in front of her.
She felt as though this young man's handsomeness was making her dizzy.
"What's your name, beauty? Do you have a boyfriend?"
As Luo Yihe spoke, he helped the girl untie the ropes.
The beauty replied shyly, "I don't have a boyfriend."
Luo Yihe's smile became even brighter.
"But I have a fiancé!"
"Damn it, what kind of material is this rope made from? I can't even untie it. Figure something out yourself!"
Luo Yihe immediately shook off his hand and no longer wanted to bother with her.
"I don't like that fiancé."
"I think people should face difficulties head-on. I think this rope still needs another try!"
"But my family won't agree to me breaking off the engagement."
"Damn it, no need to try anymore. Even a Titled Douluo couldn't untie this rope."
"But I don't want to listen to my family, so I ran away from the marriage."
