Tang San gripped his chopsticks tightly, his gaze at Lin Chen icy as he forced out each word through clenched teeth.
"Lin Chen, don't push people too far."
His gloomy voice immediately drew the attention of many people in the cafeteria.
Everyone looked at him with mocking expressions.
They had taken no small number of beatings from Tang San for discussing Yu Xiaogang's deeds, so they hated Tang San to the bone.
But they were inferior in skill. No matter how much they hated him, it was meaningless.
Lin Chen was different.
He was stronger than Tang San and loved causing Tang San trouble whenever he could, so whenever Lin Chen picked on Tang San, all they felt was delight at his misfortune.
Seeing Tang San get bullied by Lin Chen felt incredible.
They could even eat a few more bites of food.
Lin Chen smiled. "I'm bullying you. What are you going to do about it?"
"Hit me? You can't beat me."
"Kill me? You can't do it."
"Since neither works, just take it obediently."
Bang!
Tang San slammed the table and rose to his feet in fury.
His fists clenched tightly as he stared fixedly at Lin Chen across from him.
Then... he turned and left.
Everyone: "..."
What was going on?
That kid might not have been able to defeat Lin Chen, but he had at least had the courage to strike before. Why didn't he even dare let out a peep now?
Lin Chen didn't call after him.
Teasing him once in a while was fairly entertaining, but anything more would just be a waste of time.
Seeing that Lin Chen apparently had no intention of pursuing the matter further, everyone couldn't help but reveal looks of regret.
Xiao Wu soon came over carrying a tray and respectfully placed it in front of Lin Chen.
"Master, please eat!"
"You should get yourself a serving too."
Lin Chen nodded, signaling for her to get one for herself as well.
A maid wasn't allowed to dine with her master. If Lin Chen didn't speak, she would wait until she had finished serving him before getting food for herself.
Although Lin Chen had mentioned several times that she didn't need to be so rigid, she still waited for him to say so every time before doing it.
Lin Chen found it somewhat helpless, but he gradually got used to it.
Perhaps that was what it meant to go from frugality to luxury.
The food on the second floor of the cafeteria wasn't as good as what was served in the better hotels and restaurants outside, but it still tasted decent—at least much better than the first-floor cafeteria.
After eating, the two returned to their dormitory.
Just as Lin Chen was preparing to cultivate, Wuhen's voice transmission suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Master, a fire-attribute female Titled Douluo at level ninety-two has entered the city."
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Fire attribute?
A female Titled Douluo?
Setting aside those who hadn't grown up yet, there were only Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi among the female Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent, but neither of them had fire attributes.
And even Bibi Dong should have been above level ninety-two by now, right?
Where had this female Titled Douluo come from?
Could it be...
Lin Chen suddenly remembered the original character from the animation, Spirit Kite Douluo.
Could this be some kind of hodgepodge Douluo Continent?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen made up his mind and muttered, "Lead her somewhere deserted, then bring me there."
Wuhen didn't respond. He had likely moved directly into action.
System, begin editing.
Faced with Lin Chen's recruitment, Lingyuan weighed the pros and cons in her heart.
Lin Chen's talent was high enough, and he had a powerful Spirit Master like Wuhen guarding him. It was only a matter of time before he grew strong.
When Lin Chen mentioned Yue Guan and Gui Mei's circumstances and treatment, Spirit Kite Douluo no longer hesitated and accepted Lin Chen's recruitment.
[Editing successful!]
As the strongest Spirit Master faction on the continent, Lin Chen felt it was necessary to plant a spy within Spirit Hall.
Moreover, this spy's status and position had to be high enough. Only then could he learn about the decisions and movements of Spirit Hall's upper ranks.
Not only could this prevent Bibi Dong from going mad, but he might even find opportunities to farm rewards.
Even Titled Douluo like Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, hadn't managed to gain many benefits from Spirit Hall, much less Spirit Kite Douluo.
Winning her over shouldn't be difficult.
As a Titled Douluo, she also held a respectable identity and status within Spirit Hall, perfectly matching Lin Chen's needs.
As for how to make her willingly sign a Loyalty Contract.
He could only give it a try.
Lin Chen sat on the edge of the bed and stared for a moment. Ripples rose in the space before him, followed by the appearance of a pitch-black spatial portal.
"Damn, that works too?"
Lin Chen stared wide-eyed at the dark spatial gate.
Wuhen's strength was truly a little absurd.
No wonder he dared boast, Below Demigod, I am invincible.
Lin Chen rose to his feet and stepped inside.
The moment he entered the spatial portal, Lin Chen's vision suddenly went black. When his sight returned, he was already in a stretch of wilderness outside the city.
Other than losing his vision for a moment, there was nothing unusual. It was no different from taking a normal step.
Focusing his gaze, Lin Chen saw a sexy woman with shoulder-length short hair that was pale purple tinged with gray. She had her head lowered, both hands braced against the ground as she knelt not far away.
The veins on her neck and arms bulged red from the strain, while her body trembled nonstop beneath the immense pressure.
She was none other than Spirit Kite Douluo from the Douluo animation.
Wuhen stood quietly beside Lin Chen.
A nearly transparent longsword floated to his right, while nine Spirit Rings—eight black and one red—pulsed continuously around his body.
Lin Chen looked at Wuhen, who immediately withdrew his soul power pressure.
"Mm..."
Spirit Kite Douluo felt her body lighten. She instantly collapsed to the ground, an involuntary moan escaping her lips.
She struggled to raise her head and looked at Lin Chen standing beside Wuhen.
Only then did Lin Chen clearly see her appearance.
Spirit Kite Douluo's looks could be summed up in four simple words.
Cold, glamorous mature beauty.
Lin Chen smiled. "Spirit Hall elder, Spirit Kite Douluo?"
Having recovered somewhat, Spirit Kite Douluo slowly rose from the ground. She brushed the dust from her body before looking at Lin Chen.
"Who are you people?"
In her memory, there was no one like Wuhen in the Spirit Master world.
He had suppressed her with soul power pressure alone. Even in the Enshrinement Hall, few could achieve that. He was at least level ninety-seven or ninety-eight.
Yet Spirit Hall had absolutely no records of such a person.
That was rather terrifying.
If one such person could appear today, could more appear in the future?
Was Spirit Hall truly the number one Spirit Master faction?
"My name is Lin Chen, an ordinary student at a junior Spirit Master academy."
With that, Lin Chen pointed at Wuhen.
"His name is Wuhen, an ordinary level ninety-eight Peak Douluo. He shouldn't be far from becoming a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo."
Spirit Kite Douluo: "..."
What an ordinary level ninety-eight Peak Douluo.
He really knew how to show off.
