Yan Shaozhe: I'll endure it

With a thunderous boom, the azure flame dragon's head shattered, turning into waves of air that rippled outward.

After losing a fair amount of its power, the spear light Yun Chen had thrust out continued toward Xian Lin'er.

Yun Chen could not help feeling surprised when he saw that his spear light had actually been weakened.

In his view, an attack unleashed by a Level 94 Titled Douluo should have shattered on contact with his highly condensed spear light. It should not have been able to weaken his attack at all.

What Yun Chen did not know was that Xian Lin'er's martial soul, the Azure Flame Dragon, was extremely unusual. It was a mutated martial soul, and she was the only person on the entire Douluo Continent who possessed it.

Although the martial soul was called the Azure Flame Dragon, its attribute was not fire, but wind. Those azure flames were produced by the intense friction of wind compressed to an extreme degree.

They possessed tremendous destructive power, specifically the power of disintegration. This disintegrating force was extraordinarily overbearing; even those whose cultivation surpassed Xian Lin'er's could not escape its effects.

It was precisely for this reason that Mu En had taken notice of Xian Lin'er and accepted her as his disciple.

When Xian Lin'er saw that her attack had failed to cancel out her opponent's, her pupils abruptly contracted. She wanted to dodge, but the azure-blue domain had greatly reduced her speed.

Xian Lin'er immediately raised the Black Dragon Shield that Qian Duoduo had transformed into, holding it in front of her.

Clang!

The spear light struck the shield with a teeth-grating sizzle.

Black dragons circled the shield, their cries like furious roars. Nine soul rings flashed continuously, unleashing one soul skill after another to withstand the terrifying spear light.

Qian Duoduo tilted the Black Dragon Shield, finally redirecting the spear light into the ground. Only after gouging a pit more than a hundred meters deep into Shrek Square did the spear light finally dissipate.

A spear gouge a centimeter deep was now clearly visible on the Black Dragon Shield. The pain twisted the black dragon's face on its surface, making him bare his teeth and grimace. It was clear just how astonishing Yun Chen's spear light was.

Only by joining forces had Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, two Level 94 Titled Douluos, barely managed to withstand this attack from Yun Chen.

Yun Chen said coldly, "You two are no match for me, and I don't want to drag this out any longer."

As he finished speaking, the scarlet soul ring around Yun Chen continued to flash.

Ninth soul skill, Heavenly Tyrant Domain!

The azure-blue domain's power pressed down relentlessly from every direction on Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the other Titled Douluos.

While unleashing his domain, Yun Chen also used his Unity of Heaven and Man realm to command the power of heaven and earth, reinforcing his domain and strengthening its might.

Within the domain, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the other Titled Douluos were severely weakened in every respect. Not only had their speed plummeted, but even if they tried to attack, their attacks would pose no threat to Yun Chen after being weakened by the domain and the power of heaven and earth.

Just as Yun Chen was about to end the battle, a piercing phoenix cry rang out.

Yun Chen immediately turned to look. A golden Bright Phoenix descended from the sky.

The Bright Phoenix spoke in a human voice. "Brother Yun, it's been a few years. Congratulations on comprehending the Unity of Heaven and Man realm and becoming a Super Douluo!"

The newcomer was none other than Bright Phoenix Douluo, Yan Shaozhe.

Before coming here, he had first gone to settle matters with the master of the Sky Wolf Gate, the Level 93 Sky Wolf Douluo, Li Mingxiao.

Compared with Yun Chen, Sky Wolf Douluo had been much easier to appease. As the master of a sect, Sky Wolf Douluo had several wives and more than one descendant.

Although the descendant who had come to study at Shrek Academy had been his most talented... with so many descendants, his affection was ultimately more diluted. It could not compare with Yun Chen, who had only one son.

Thus, Yan Shaozhe had offered apologies and made amends. A dignified Super Douluo had been berated by a Titled Douluo until his face was covered in flying spittle, yet he had not shown the slightest anger.

After all, the man had lost a child. How could he not be allowed to vent?

Shrek Academy was in the wrong to begin with, having failed to protect his child. If they would not even let the parent curse them out, where was their basic human decency?

Although being cursed at had left Yan Shaozhe deeply irritated, he had never considered doing anything to Sky Wolf Douluo.

After all, the man's child had died at the academy. If they then beat the parent who came seeking answers to death as well...

Could Shrek Academy keep its doors open after that? Did they still want their reputation?

If they really did such a thing, what parent would dare send their child to study at Shrek Academy afterward?

If that continued, wouldn't Shrek Academy eventually have to close down?

So, no matter how vile Sky Wolf Douluo's insults became, Yan Shaozhe could only let the spit on his face dry on its own, constantly smiling apologetically as he let the man vent.

As long as Sky Wolf Douluo did not attack, injure anyone, or kill anyone, Yan Shaozhe would let him make as much of a scene as he pleased.

Being cursed at would not cost him a chunk of flesh, anyway. A few more insults might even mean paying a little less in compensation.

And so, after giving Yan Shaozhe a thorough tongue-lashing and venting the fury in his heart, Sky Wolf Douluo began discussing compensation with him.

In the end, Yan Shaozhe had to hand over a thirty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone before he finally managed to send Sky Wolf Douluo away.

Looking at Yun Chen, Yan Shaozhe could not help feeling secretly alarmed. He had never expected that, in the few years since they last met, Yun Chen would have broken through the Level 95 bottleneck that ninety percent of Titled Douluos could not overcome and reached the Super Douluo realm.

He still remembered that Yun Chen was only sixty or seventy, a full thirty years younger than him. Yet Yun Chen's cultivation had already caught up with his, despite him being the senior.

Meanwhile, he was still stuck at Level 95. After all these years, he had failed to advance even an inch.

Yan Shaozhe could not help feeling a little despondent. His talent was clearly outstanding, and the Bright Phoenix had enormous potential, yet he had never been able to break through the Level 96 bottleneck.

Looking at Yan Shaozhe, Yun Chen pressed a hand to his forehead and burst into laughter. "Congratulations? My only son is dead! He died at your Shrek Academy! What do you expect me to celebrate? What do you expect me to smile about!"

After speaking, Yun Chen stared at Yan Shaozhe with reddened eyes. That obsessive, crazed gaze sent a chill down Yan Shaozhe's back.

Yan Shaozhe felt that Yun Chen was extremely unstable at that moment. He would not have been the least bit surprised if Yun Chen suddenly lashed out at him in the next instant.

Yan Shaozhe understood that Yun Chen was nothing like the master of the Sky Wolf Gate. He was not someone who could be appeased with a single soul bone.

Especially now that Yun Chen's cultivation had reached the Super Douluo realm, he already warranted Shrek Academy's utmost attention in a certain sense.

Although Shrek Academy's powerhouses gathered like clouds and its experts were as plentiful as rain, with more than twenty Titled Douluos...

There were only five Super Douluos: himself, Mu En, Xuan Zi, Elder Lin, and Elder Song.
