I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you all!

Everyone from Shrek Academy had arrived early and taken their seats in the stands.

Over the past two days, they had also heard about what had happened with Monster Academy.

It had originally been a contest between Shrek Academy and Monster Academy.

Instead, it had turned into a contest between Luo Chen and Monster Academy.

But judging by the current situation, it was about to become a contest between Luo Chen and the Star Luo Empire!

"That's so cool! One man taking on an entire country!" Xie Xie was practically Luo Chen's fanboy by now.

"That's because you're weak. If you were strong enough, you could do it too," Yuanen Yehui said.

"Fine." Whenever Xie Xie faced Yuanen Yehui, the wind immediately went out of his sails.

He quietly sidled up to Tang Wulin and said, "Boss, do you think Yuanen has fallen for Luo Chen? If Luo Chen's my rival, I really don't have much confidence."

Tang Wulin had no idea how to comfort him, so he could only pat Xie Xie on the shoulder in encouragement.

Luo Chen's strength was simply in a different dimension from theirs!

Unlike the relaxed group from Shrek Academy, as the members of Monster Academy stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere changed.

The spectators scrambled to shout over one another.

"Knock him off the stage!"

"Legend! Legend! Legend!"

"Go, Dragon King! Go, Tiger King! Go, Fox King! Go, Wolf King! Go, Pagoda King! Go, Shadow King! Go, Wind King!"

"Go, Seven Heavenly Kings! Go, Legend!"

The cheers from the stands gave Xie Xie a fright.

"Wait, are Monster Academy's students really this famous in the Star Luo Empire? Why aren't we Shrek students this famous in the Federation?"

Then Xie Xie remembered how they, the students of Shrek, had thrown the Federation into such chaos that chickens flew and eggs shattered. Suddenly, it seemed to make sense.

With Monster Academy's Seven Heavenly Kings onstage, the Soul Fighting match was finally ready to begin.

"Before we begin, I need to emphasize a few points," the Soul Master Tournament's referee announced.

"First, you may use any means at your disposal, whether Battle Armor or Mecha, but Soul Cannon Shells are absolutely forbidden."

When Luo Chen had brought up Soul Cannon Shells earlier, he had given the referee quite a scare, prompting him to rush off and consult Dai Tianling.

He had been terrified that Luo Chen might pull out a class-nine Soul Cannon Shell and wipe out everyone from Monster Academy.

Besides, they believed that, given Luo Chen's personality, he might actually be planning exactly that!

After all, anyone who entered a seven-person team match alone surely wasn't quite right in the head.

"Second, using spiritual Soul Tools to force your opponents to surrender is forbidden."

As soon as the referee said that, the spectators all breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was a spiritual Soul Tool!

I knew it! Why else would Her Highness the princess have suddenly surrendered?

Luo Chen's face was full of disdain. A spiritual Soul Tool? The Star Luo Empire really knows how to build itself a staircase to climb down.

Still, it didn't matter.

After all, before long, the Star Luo Empire would cease to exist.

Once he returned, the Federation would launch its war against the Star Luo Empire.

Previously, Luo Chen had still been wavering over what to do after conquering the Star Luo Empire.

Now the answer was clear. Since Xu Jiujiu had come to this world, he would let her become the Star Luo Federation Chairman.

Luo Chen wasn't foolish enough to work for the Federation for free.

"Finally, this is a fight to the death. Until your opponent surrenders, life or death is of no consequence!" The referee placed heavy emphasis on those final words, as though hinting at something.

Inside the private box, the Federation Deputy Speaker's face turned livid at those words, and he turned toward Dai Tianling beside him.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should dispense with that final rule..."

Originally, only the one-on-one matches had been fights to the death. Now the team match was being changed into one too! Luo Chen really would kill people!

In a sense, everyone in their group belonged to the Federation's Dove Faction, advocating commerce with the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Ling Continent, and the peaceful exchange of resources.

Inviting Shrek Academy on this trip had also been intended to demonstrate Shrek's stance: it supported the Dove Faction.

But everyone in the Federation knew that Luo Chen was a die-hard member of the Hawk Faction! He and Chen Xinjie were so close they practically wore the same pair of trousers!

He would have loved nothing more than to send troops to attack the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Ling Continent the very next day!

Who knew what madness had possessed the Speaker to let Luo Chen join them?

At first, Luo Chen had been fairly restrained. Even when students from the Star Luo Royal Academy had openly provoked him, he had barely clashed with them.

The Deputy Speaker had witnessed all of it. By now, he was practically begging grandfathers and pleading with grandmothers every day, praying that Luo Chen wouldn't stir up trouble in the Star Luo Empire.

He had thought everything would take a turn for the better, but this morning's matches had completely changed his mind!

Luo Chen was playing a much larger game! He hadn't come here for peace at all!

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Tianling cut him off.

"The purpose of a competition is to test a Soul Master's strength. If they're shackled by rules, how can they display their true power?"

Dai Tianling thought the Deputy Speaker was pleading for mercy on Luo Chen's behalf. How could he allow that?

Did he have any idea how much damage Luo Chen had done to the reputation of the Star Luo Empire and the Star Luo Imperial Family?

He had to make sure Luo Chen died in the Star Luo Empire!

The Deputy Speaker wanted to cry, but had no tears left!

Display his true power? Have you had too much to drink?

It's over! It's all over! The Star Luo Empire is finished!

Meanwhile, in the Soul Fighting Arena, Monster Academy's Seven Heavenly Kings all revealed their Martial Souls.

One had six rings, and six had five rings.

Outside the sky screen, Ning Fengzhi, who was in Heaven Dou City, froze when he saw Pagoda King Ye Zhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Does that mean our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's curse still exists?"

Ning Fengzhi turned to his daughter, Ning Rongrong.

Ever since Luo Chen had given Ning Rongrong an immortal herb and transformed her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Fengzhi had thought their sect's curse had been broken.

Surely Ning Rongrong hadn't missed Luo Chen so much that she had remained unmarried her entire life?

"If only Rongrong could travel twenty thousand years into the future too. Even becoming a concubine would be fine."

For some reason, this thought suddenly sprouted in Ning Fengzhi's mind. Being a concubine was better than letting the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's lineage die out, wasn't it?

I'm doing this so the sect can live on!

Within the sky screen, the spectacle hadn't affected Luo Chen's composure in the slightest.

Luo Chen had witnessed far too many grand spectacles, from flirting with the holy maiden right in front of the pope to turning around and seeking out the pope's daughter.

"Once this is over, I should accompany Gu Yue to Dragon Valley. It's time to let her evolve into the complete dragon!"

Opposite Luo Chen, Tiger King Dai Yueyan stared fixedly at him, his tigerlike eyes almost blazing with fire.

First Tang Wulin, and now Luo Chen!

Why do these people from the Douluo Continent keep setting their sights on my little sister?

"Luo Chen! How dare you do such a thing to my sister! I'll make you pay!" Tiger King Dai Yueyan said viciously.

"Make me pay?" Luo Chen sounded as though he had heard a hilarious joke.

"Even if your ancestor Dai Mubai came here, he wouldn't have the right to say that to me!"

Dai Mubai's reaction upon hearing that: "???"

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! This Luo Chen has no regard for me whatsoever, nor any regard for the Star Luo Empire!" Dai Tianling was so furious that he rose to his feet.

The Deputy Speaker beside him remained seated without moving, wearing an expression that said, Whatever. Let it all burn. I knew this would happen.

Unlike Tiger King Dai Yueyan, Dragon King Long Yue merely smiled guilelessly. "You'd better be careful. I'm afraid I might lose control and kill you!"

Luo Chen had thought Tiger King Dai Yueyan was funny enough, but it turned out there was an even greater master here.

He finally lost all composure and burst out laughing.

"Kill me?"

"I hope you can manage it!"

Then, for the first time in public in the Star Luo Empire, Luo Chen released his Martial Soul, Soul Rings, and Soul Spirits!

"Finally, I can come out for some fresh air again!"

"Mom, can I finally see Grandpa again?"

"Xiao Bai, you're being naughty again."

"I wonder what the world is like ten thousand years later."

As Luo Chen released his ice ancestral talisman martial soul, all his Soul Spirits appeared as well.

The Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, the octagonal mysterious ice grass, and Ice Bear King Xiaobai.

Luo Chen had originally wanted to absorb the Titan Snow Demon King, the last of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, as well, but the Snow Empress had vehemently opposed it!

"Daddy, at least leave the Far North a seed to carry on!"

Who knew where the Snow Empress had learned that? When she didn't need anything, she called him Luo Chen; when she did, she called him Daddy. She was simply too wicked!

She had been a little cuter as the Little Snow Maiden!

When Luo Chen had taken the Snow Empress as his Soul Spirit, the same accident that had happened to Huo Yuhao in the original story had occurred.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, however, Luo Chen possessed the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and could fully control that violent energy. Yet the Snow Empress had still turned into the Little Snow Maiden, calling him Daddy at every turn...

After the four great Soul Spirits appeared, Luo Chen's Soul Rings emerged as well.

Red, red, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, red, red! Nine Soul Rings in all!

Then Luo Chen looked at the stunned Long Yue.

"What you said is exactly what I wanted to say. You'd better be careful. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you all!"
