A flicker of worry crossed Xiao Wu's brow. She did not know why Chen Jue had agreed.
His opponent was a Soul Emperor!
Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, watched Chen Jue with excitement written all over her face.
She loved watching a commotion and never minded how big it got.
Besides, she had already grown curious about Chen Jue's strength!
The fact that he had accepted the challenge meant he could not be weak.
Now all her attention was focused on Chen Jue.
She also glanced at the two female companions beside him. Neither looked worried in the slightest.
They seemed very confident in Chen Jue's strength.
Indeed, the two women had absolute confidence in him.
After all, they had secretly seen Chen Jue use a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
And the two soul skills that came with that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone-
They were terrifying, far beyond anything a Soul Emperor could withstand.
So they were not worried at all.
"Don't say I bullied you. I'll let you make the first move!" Li Yusong declared arrogantly.
"You said it yourself. Here I come!"
Chen Jue swept his arm out boldly. An ear-splitting dragon roar immediately rang through the air.
The surrounding trees, houses, and everything else began to crack.
Then four black Soul Rings and one red Soul Ring appeared out of thin air, circling overhead and radiating a powerful aura.
The enormous red Soul Ring resembled a ball of burning flame, casting a crimson glow over everyone's faces.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!!!"
At that moment, everyone froze, as though cowed by the majesty radiating from the Soul Ring.
Li Yusong involuntarily retreated two steps. The Dragon Pattern Staff in his hand began trembling uncontrollably, giving off a faint hum.
His mouth fell slightly open. He wanted to say something, but it felt as though something had blocked his throat, leaving him unable to make a sound.
His face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror and bewilderment.
He was beginning to regret what he had said!
Dai Mubai was going to get him killed!
Why had he not explained things properly?!
He had assumed his opponent had three rings at most. Who would have thought he was a Five-Ring Soul King?
And one with such a heaven-defying soul ring configuration, no less.
But to save face, he could only grit his teeth and fight him.
"Fifth Soul Skill-Golden Dragon Spear! Pierce!"
With his shout, a vast surge of soul power erupted. Golden light gathered in his palm, forming a dazzling spear.
Golden radiance flowed along its shaft, like a dormant dragon ready to burst through the sky at any moment.
Chen Jue gripped the spear tightly and swung it forward.
The Golden Dragon Spear instantly became a streak of golden light, shooting toward Li Yusong with the force of ten thousand thunderbolts.
Even the surrounding air seemed to tear apart, hissing and rustling.
As Li Yusong watched the Golden Dragon Spear approach, he immediately felt death closing in.
He was just about to use his sixth soul skill to block it when he realized the Golden Dragon Spear was already upon him.
He could only block with his martial soul itself first, then twist sideways to dodge.
Seeing that the Golden Dragon Spear had missed him, he smiled smugly.
Just then, Dai Mubai called out urgently, his voice trembling.
"Teacher Li, watch out! Behind you!"
As the words fell, Li Yusong turned to look, only to see the Golden Dragon Spear actually brake and drift around.
It came straight at his back once again.
But that last block had already pushed him to his limit!
At that moment of life and death, however, a figure flashed forward like lightning-a middle-aged man with a Cat Owl martial soul.
His movements were swift and agile. In an instant, he stood in front of Li Yusong and firmly caught the speeding Golden Dragon Spear.
"Dean!"
Li Yusong respectfully withdrew his martial soul and bowed slightly, his gaze filled with reverence for Flender.
Flender gave a slight nod, sweeping a cold gaze over Li Yusong. Then his brows drew tightly together.
The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand slowly dissolved into light and vanished.
Yet when those star-like motes completely dispersed, they revealed a horrifying gash across Flender's palm.
The wound ran deep enough to expose bone, as though a sharp blade had sliced through it. The flesh curled outward, making it look especially gruesome.
Flender's expression darkened, his eyes full of disbelief.
That was a fifth soul skill?
Even a fifth soul skill enhanced by a Seventh Soul Skill should not have injured him so severely.
He wanted to see just who this person was.
Then he looked at Chen Jue.
In an instant, the terrifying soul ring configuration shocked him so badly that his glasses fell off.
Four black, one red!
What had just happened had also left everyone present utterly stunned.
Ning Rongrong in particular had a burning gleam in her eyes.
She looked as though she wanted to devour Chen Jue!
But there was also a hint of bewilderment and shock.
What clan did he belong to? He was terrifying!
Then, staring at those five Soul Rings, she revealed a faint, suggestive smile.
The seed of affection began taking root and sprouting.
After all, was a handsome, powerful man not every girl's dream lover?
Unfortunately, he already had someone he liked!
But that did not bother her at all. She could simply steal him away!
After all, she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
She could get whatever she wanted. If all else failed, she could take it.
As for how she would take it, that depended on the other party!
For instance... with someone like Chen Jue, given her figure and her techniques, would wrapping him around her finger not be as easy as turning over her palm?
That burning gaze seemed to catch the keen-eyed Zhu Zhuqing's attention.
She immediately wrapped her arms around Chen Jue's forearm.
Her two towering peaks clamped tightly around his arm, and she cast Ning Rongrong a challenging look.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong instantly grew furious.
So what if your breasts are big?
Hmph! Mine aren't small either!
Then she made sure to puff out her chest, seemingly comparing herself to Zhu Zhuqing.
But Zhu Zhuqing's natural advantage was simply beyond anything Ning Rongrong could match!
Ning Rongrong could only walk aside in a huff and start thinking about how to win Chen Jue over.
She seemed to think of something... tomorrow night... hehe!
Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San, then at Chen Jue beneath his five Soul Rings.
For a moment, the difference between them became glaringly obvious!
She suddenly felt that Tang San had nothing going for him. Chen Jue, standing before her, was the one she wanted.
Tang San also seemed to discern what Xiao Wu was thinking, and he shot Chen Jue a vicious glare.
This is all your fault, Chen Jue!
Looks like I'll have to find a chance to finish you off.
Only then could he put an end to Xiao Wu's longing.
Only then would Xiao Wu return to his embrace.
After all, Xiao Wu had him drooling with desire.
He could not let someone else have his fun with her first!
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, standing behind Li Yusong, was scared witless!
He had only had four Soul Rings that morning, and now he had five that afternoon?
Was he born with some sacred cultivation physique?!
Unwilling to accept it, he demanded, "How could you cultivate so fast? Didn't you only have four rings this morning? Don't tell me you broke through just by taking a nap at noon!"
Chen Jue nodded and replied casually, "That's right. All it took was a nap!"
He really was not lying. He really had slept.
It was just that he had slept with Zhu Zhuqing...
