Soul Hunting Town, Tang San Again

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Su Chen had come to find Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. He had also become a Soul Ancestor, and with such good news, he naturally had to share it with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

However, Qin Ming blocked his path, his brows tightly furrowed and his expression stern.

"Su Chen, for a full three years, you have never trained under me, nor have you ever fought alongside the other seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team."

"That will not do. There are only two years left until the next Continental Soul Master Tournament. I cannot continue indulging you."

"When it comes to cultivation, you have Dugu Bo to guide you, so I have nothing to say. But in the Soul Master Tournament, you and the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team will be teammates. You need to train your coordination."

Qin Ming paused before continuing.

"From now on, no matter what, you must make time to train with everyone from the Imperial Fighting Team."

"Training means actual combat. The Great Soul Arena is an excellent place for practical training. Before participating in the Soul Master Tournament, I require all of you to obtain a Golden Soul Battle Badge."

Su Chen did not take it seriously and waved a hand.

"I understand, Teacher Qin. We can talk when I have time. I still need to find Yanyan and Lingling and go have fun. Let's leave it at that for today."

Qin Ming was somewhat angry. His eyes narrowed. Even now, he did not know where Su Chen's limits lay. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to test him.

"Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling do not have time to play with you. Yu Tianheng has also broken through to level 40 Soul Power, and we are heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul beast."

"Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are both Soul Ancestors and important combat strength for the Imperial Fighting Team. How can they be absent at a time like this?"

"Either come with us, or I will not let Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling leave with you."

Su Chen raised his brows, genuinely surprised.

In the original plot, even when the Imperial Fighting Team fought Shrek Academy at the Great Soul Arena, Yu Tianheng had only been at level 39 Soul Power.

Why had he broken through to level 40 Soul Power ahead of time?

He had not taken any Immortal Herbs.

Was it because Yanyan and Lingling had spurred him on?

In the past, Yu Tianheng's Soul Power had been the highest among them all.

But because Su Chen had given both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling Immortal Herbs, they had broken through to level 40 Soul Power a year ago, absorbed Soul Rings, and become Soul Ancestors.

It seemed Yu Tianheng had been greatly stimulated. If he had gone mad with cultivation, breaking through to level 40 Soul Power a few months early was still fairly normal.

Su Chen agreed with a smile. "Fine. Since Teacher Qin has said so, I'll accompany you to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Qin Ming secretly thought that this time, he should test Su Chen's strength. If they encountered danger, he could also show off a little and let Su Chen see the strength of a Soul Emperor, so Su Chen would stop looking down on him.

As a teacher, he could not possibly fight Su Chen. If he wanted to display his strength, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would be excellent targets.

"Xiao Chen!" *2

When Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling saw Su Chen arrive, they immediately crowded around him from either side, each hugging one of his arms with natural intimacy.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng naturally felt as if his heart were being cut by knives. The girl he could not have was merely one of someone else's girlfriends.

It hurt!

It hurt so much!

Yu Tianheng was the foremost among the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Since childhood, he had gotten whatever he wanted.

Yet after encountering Su Chen, he was not as handsome as him, not as strong as him, and the girl he liked threw herself into Su Chen's arms. All he could do was watch.

How stifling!

"Su Chen, I've already reached level 40 Soul Power. Once I absorb a Soul Ring this time and become a Soul Ancestor, I will challenge you again!"

"With every additional Soul Ring, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gains another draconic body part, and our strength rises tremendously. I will definitely defeat you!"

Yu Tianheng stepped forward, his eyes wide with fury.

He had already lost to Su Chen twice. The glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been thrown to the ground and trampled again and again.

He had lost it, so he had to win it back.

Su Chen could not even be bothered to respond to Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng was like a fixed NPC. Every time his strength rose by a level, he came to challenge Su Chen once.

If this were a game, Su Chen could at least farm some experience from him.

But now...

He did not even need to use his martial soul. One hand was enough to suppress Yu Tianheng.

Before Su Chen could speak, Dugu Yan had already snapped back, "Yu Tianheng, you want to challenge Xiao Chen? Get past me first. If you cannot beat me, then you are not even worth one of Xiao Chen's fingers."

Ye Lingling also looked as though it were only natural.

"Yanyan is right. Yu Tianheng, stop humiliating yourself. You are even wasting the time Xiao Chen and we have for dates."

"Do you know how precious our time together is? Wasting even one minute is a waste."

Yu Tianheng looked as though two blades had stabbed into his body. His face darkened as he stared at Su Chen.

"Su Chen, this is a matter between men. Must you let women stand between us?"

Su Chen chuckled. "Fine. Since you like getting beaten up, I'll definitely grant your wish. It will not waste much time anyway."

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

He carved Su Chen's disdain deeply into his heart. Gritting his teeth, he thought that this time, he absolutely had to defeat Su Chen.

He was not challenging Su Chen to prove how remarkable he was. He had to personally reclaim the pride he had lost and the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Shi Mo brothers, Yu Feng, and Osler all looked at Yu Tianheng with admiration.

Knowing he could not win, yet still going to fight.

They did not possess such courage.

As an outstanding Shrek Academy graduate, Qin Ming perfectly replicated Shrek Academy's teaching methods.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy had carriages specifically for travel.

Yet Qin Ming refused to use them. He had everyone run to the Star Dou Great Forest, claiming it would temper their will.

They were simply making themselves suffer for no reason.

As a group of Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors, they could indeed run quickly with the support of Soul Power.

Around dusk, they arrived at Soul Hunting Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since it was late, they stayed in Soul Hunting Town.

They entered an inn!

Su Chen ran into an acquaintance.

"Su Chen~~"

Xiao Wu caught a familiar scent. Turning her head, she saw the figure she had longed for day and night.

Just as before, she ran over excitedly, kicked off like a rabbit, and leaped into Su Chen's arms, hanging from him.

"Su Chen, I missed you so much!"

"When I heard from the dean that you had been taken away by a Titled Douluo, I was sad for such a long time. I wanted to find you, but I had no idea where to look!"

"I never expected us to meet today. Can I follow you from now on?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both dumbfounded!

What was this? She had darted straight into their boyfriend's arms!

"Where did you come from? Xiao Chen is my boyfriend. What does this have to do with you?"

"Su Chen, who is this girl?"

At the same time, Tang San's eyes had turned bloodshot, and he panted heavily.

He had coaxed and tricked Xiao Wu with great difficulty before finally getting her to go to Shrek Academy with him.

He had thought time could dilute everything, yet he had run into Su Chen here.

Fate!

It was fate!

My fate is mine, not Heaven's!

Tang San's fury toward Su Chen reached its peak!
