Wishful Thinking

"Hehehe, another fool who didn't know what was good for him. Oh my, and she was even a beauty. What a pity she came to a place like Slaughter City."

A hoarse voice rang out.

Qin Li glanced to the side and saw an ugly man staring fixedly at her.

That gaze was truly revolting.

"Hehe, how about it? Want to have some fun with me? I'm a Soul Sage... Aah!!!"

Before the ugly man could finish speaking, he let out a loud, agonized scream.

A sharp blade sliced through his head, and his headless corpse toppled backward.

"Peh!"

Qin Li paid no attention to the interruption and continued forward.

"Looks like I'll be able to fight to my heart's content in the future. If I can't use soul skills, then I want to see whether I can become even stronger."

Qin Li's arrival caused quite a stir in the stagnant waters of Slaughter City.

The moment she arrived, she entered a match. In her first match, she used a sword to kill every other opponent in the arena.

The spectators were stunned. A woman who looked like a pure white lotus was actually this formidable.

Faced with so many people, she still killed them all with just one sword.

And that swordsmanship—it seemed to counter every kind of weapon, always finding their weaknesses.

This made many people take notice of Qin Li, who had only just entered her first match. One after another, they began plotting over the swordsmanship she possessed.

In Slaughter City, there were no rules, only slaughter. In order to seize what Qin Li had, they employed every scheme and trick imaginable.

Qin Li was no easy target either. She saw through the intentions of the others at a glance, but she did not stop them.

To become stronger, she needed to fight more people.

Let more of these fallen soul masters come. Let them make her stronger.

Before long, her name resounded throughout Slaughter City. She was someone with an immense thirst for killing.

She possessed self-created soul skills, and more than one at that. She might even have something even more mysterious.

Because others discovered that Qin Li would be injured in battle, yet by the next day, all the wounds on her body would be completely healed.

The treasures on her body made even more people covet her.

"The thing Dad gave me is really amazing. It healed my injuries in no time. Even toxins have no effect on me—they can be healed away too. Dad really has so many good things. Once I get back, I need to raid more of Dad's treasures."

Qin Li looked at the ceiling of her room with clear eyes.

"I've already won thirty-five matches in a row. I still need sixty-five more to reach one hundred consecutive victories.

Apparently, fewer than ten people throughout history have passed through Slaughter City's God of Slaughter trial. Today, I'll see if I can find out who they were."

There probably would not be any matches these next few days anyway, so she decided to take a look around Slaughter City first.

Qin Li walked out of her room. Not far from her door, quite a few soul masters were crouching around. Some wanted to follow her, while others secretly wanted her dead.

"My lady, please let us follow you."

"My lady, we are willing to do anything. We're willing to offer you Bloody Mary."

"That's right, please accept us."

A large crowd surrounded her. Qin Li frowned, then suddenly spun around and thrust the sword in her hand toward a man.

Seeing that they had been exposed, those hiding in the crowd revealed vicious expressions and attacked Qin Li together, intending to kill her.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Qin Li moved through the crowd, reaping lives one sword strike at a time.

"No, I never intended to ambush you."

A scantily clad woman knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

She had clearly come to pledge herself to Qin Li. She did not want to die.

"I know. But my dad once said that the soul masters in Slaughter City are basically evil soul masters. Killing them counts as earning merit for myself."

Qin Li answered indifferently.

Then, with a swish of her sword, she beheaded the woman.]

Ning Rongrong: What a disgusting place. Why did Qin Feng send Qin Li to such a disgusting place? None of these soul masters are good people.

Hu Liena: Qin Feng really is something else. He actually sent Xiao Li somewhere so dangerous. What if something else went wrong? Aren't there other ways to become stronger?

Chrysanthemum Douluo: Holy Maiden, you're already worrying about your daughter from a parallel world, yet you still say you don't have such thoughts.

Bibi Dong: Nana, some things only require you to follow your heart.

Tang Hao: Though this Slaughter City is evil, it is a good place. As long as you persevere, you can obtain considerable benefits.

Tang San: Dad? How did you know about these things?

Tang Xiao: ...He's right. Slaughter City is a good place, but didn't the Sky Screen also say that fewer than ten people have passed through Slaughter City in thousands of years? Those who went there basically ended up broken and buried in the dust.

Tang Yuehua: Big Brother, Second Brother is right. This place is only suitable for outstanding soul masters.

Dai Mubai: Perverted Phoenix, you can go. Don't you love letting off steam? You can do whatever you want in there, and no one will point fingers at you.

Ma Hongjun: I want to live, thank you!

Oscar: Qin Li is practically a goddess descended to earth. She's unbelievably beautiful. She's probably only about a decade or so younger than us. It would be great if we could get to know Qin Feng.

Shui Bing'er: What would you want to do if you knew Qin Feng earlier? Don't tell me you want to set your sights on his daughter?

Shui Yue'er: Shameless. You actually want to set your sights on a girl who hasn't even been born yet.

Huo Wu: Exactly. Truly shameless.

Flanders: Dai Mubai, all of you should stop talking. You're really disgracing Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji: Didn't you raise them? You're not much better yourself.

Liu Erlong: Well said. This old eagle really is shameless.

Yu Yuanzhen: I want to go to Slaughter City too. There's no reason a Soul Emperor can go while I, a Titled Douluo, cannot.

Yu Luomian: What is that stone? It can actually heal injuries. It's even more outrageous than healing-type soul masters.

"A bunch of bastards actually dared to set their sights on my Li'er. They're really dreaming. Watch me smash their dog heads in with one punch."

Qin Feng could not help muttering as he watched the comments.

To avoid exposing himself just in case, he had been extremely careful not to speak on the Sky Screen.

But seeing what these people were saying now truly infuriated him. This was his precious little girl.

[The Sky Screen skipped ahead three years. Qin Li had achieved ninety-nine consecutive victories and was about to obtain her hundredth win and leave.

But she waited and waited for the final match, only for an unwelcome visitor to arrive first: an emissary of the King of Slaughter.

"White Fox Reaper, the King of Slaughter requests your presence."

"Not interested. As I've said before, I will never stay here. You should hurry up and arrange my final match instead."

Seeing that Qin Li was still so clear-headed, the emissary was also quite surprised.

But remembering the King of Slaughter's orders, she did not dare entertain any other thoughts. "Rest assured. The King of Slaughter said that he has some connection with you and wishes to speak with you."

"Some connection?"
