Qian Chen looked at Zheng Zhan with some surprise. He hadn't expected that Zheng Zhan, who said the most difficult things, would do such a cowardly thing. Qian Chen thought about it and realized that Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo had been relatively good to him, and he didn't have any conflict of interest with them.
Qian Chen decided to help the two of them, otherwise, if Zheng Zhan continued to make things difficult for the Soul Tool Department, the entire Soul Tool Department would be in turmoil, and it might even spread to the entire academy.
"Since you won't accept my challenge, then you can forget about my Soul Tool manufacturing laboratory," Qian Chen said immediately.
"If you don't want it, then don't. I'll look at another one," Zheng Zhan said immediately.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zheng Zhan, you are Level 9 Soul Engineer. I would like to learn Duoduo from you in the future. Why don't you choose a Soul Tool Manufacturing Laboratory next to mine?"
Before Qian Chen could finish speaking, Zheng Zhan was about to retort. He had already realized that Qian Chen was not someone to be trifled with. Just as he was about to speak, Qian Chen casually placed a hand on Zheng Zhan's shoulder.
Qian Chen's immense power felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and Zheng Zhan instantly felt a wave of pressure. But he was, after all, Level 9 Soul Engineer and Titled Douluo, and he couldn't let Qian Chen overwhelm him with a single move, so he could only hold on.
Qian Chen casually pointed to an empty Soul Tool manufacturing laboratory and said, "Mr. Zheng Zhan, what do you think of that one?"
Zheng Zhan remained silent. Qian Chen's hand, which had been resting on Zheng Zhan's shoulder, instantly changed to a grip and pressed down forcefully. Zheng Zhan was only a level 91 Titled Douluo, and his Soul Power was unstable. The gap between him and Qian Chen was simply too great, and he was momentarily unable to withstand the pressure.
Qian Chen wasn't worried about Zheng Zhan being upset, and left Shrek Academy directly. It was Zheng Zhan who had caused trouble today. Moreover, Qian Chen knew that the Sun Moon Empire was waiting for him to detoxify Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
Zheng Zhan guessed that the Sun Moon Empire must have something important to discuss with Qian Chen. Normally, they wouldn't even sell a regular Level 9 Soul Tool to the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, let alone send Level 9 Soul Engineer over.
Furthermore, they offered Qian Chen extremely favorable terms, allowing him to attend classes only three days a month. Even a fool could see that there was a huge secret involved, though he simply didn't know what it was.
Having no other choice, Zheng Zhan could only say, "I trust Dean Qian Chen's recommendation for the Soul Tool manufacturing lab. Let's choose this one."
Qian Chen turned to Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er and said, "Senior brother, senior sister, since Mr. Zheng Zhan has chosen this place, please make the arrangements."
Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Junior Brother, we'll arrange it right away."
Seeing Zheng Zhan's insincere and defiant expression, Qian Chen decided that he needed to give him another beating. "By the way, Mr. Zheng Zhan, I just heard you say that you wanted to represent the Soul Engineer to challenge Bing Ling and Ma Xiaotao from our academy, right?"
Zheng Zhan glanced at Bing Ling and Ma Xiaotao; one was ice, the other fire, and they didn't seem easy to deal with. He immediately said, "Forget it, I won't stoop to the level of children."
"How can we just let it go? Besides, they're just a Soul Saint and a Soul Douluo." Qian Chen retorted sarcastically, leaving no room for argument.
Upon hearing Qian Chen confirm that Bing Ling and Ma Xiaotao were merely Soul Douluo and Soul Saint respectively, Zheng Zhan instantly regained his confidence and said, "Then I'll fight these two little guys."
"Alright, everyone, let's head to the Soul Fighting Arena for a battle." With that, Qian Chen led everyone towards the Soul Fighting Arena.
The news quickly spread throughout the Soul Tool Department: Level 9 Soul Engineer was challenging Dean Bing Ling and his assistant from the Martial Soul Department. Soon, more and more students and teachers gathered at the Soul Fighting Arena.
Ma Xiaotao was still walking happily when Qian Chen glanced at her and remembered her disdain for Soul Engineer. Immediately, Qian Chen activated the 400,000-year-old Ma Xiaotao Demonic Eye Devil Tree Soul Bone Skill and established a Spiritual Web connection with Bing Ling.
" Bing Ling, in today's battle with Zheng Zhan, I hope you won't protect Xiaotao," Qian Chen said to Bing Ling through the Spiritual Web.
"Ah! Big brother, are you serious? Xiaotao is just a Soul Saint!" Bing Ling said anxiously.
" Xiaotao has seriously underestimated Soul Engineer. Today, with the situation under our control, we'll let her suffer a loss and learn a lesson. She'll be extremely careful when encountering Soul Engineer in the future to ensure her safety. Otherwise, if she becomes arrogant and careless when facing Soul Engineer enemies, she could be injured at best, and lose her life at worst."
Bing Ling fell silent after hearing this, fearing that Ma Xiaotao was truly seriously injured.
Qian Chen noticed Bing Ling's hesitation and said, " Bing Ling, don't worry. No matter how badly Xiaotao is injured, I promise I'll heal her completely. But if you really can't bear to see Xiaotao suffer, I won't force you. Just make sure you take good care of Xiaotao in the future."
After saying that, Qian Chen fell silent, wanting Bing Ling to think it over carefully. Soon after, Bing Ling said, "Alright, Big Brother, I'll follow your arrangements."
Soon the group arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena. By this time, not only were there students and teachers from the Soul Tool Department, but also many students and teachers from the Martial Soul Department who had heard the news. Instantly, the entire Outer Court Soul Fighting Arena was packed with people.
Soon, Bing Ling, Ma Xiaotao, and Zheng Zhan stepped onto the Soul Fighting Arena Soul Fighting Arena. At that moment, the referee quickly arrived and announced loudly, "Today's match is going to be very exciting! It will be a battle between Level 9 Soul Engineer Zheng Zhan and Bing Ling, the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy, and his assistant Ma Xiaotao."
Then the referee changed the subject, saying, "Next, please welcome our Martial Soul Department Dean Qian Chen, and the Soul Tool Department Deans Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo to infuse this Soul Fighting Arena with Soul Power for protection, so that it won't be damaged."
The referee's words instantly drew laughter from the hundreds of students and teachers present. Qian Chen, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo naturally came to the Soul Fighting Arena and began to infuse it with Soul Power.
Seeing that everything was ready, the referee said, "Both sides have one minute to unleash their Martial Soul."
Ma Xiaotao was not afraid at all. A crimson Phoenix Martial Soul appeared behind her, and seven Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—appeared beneath her feet. Instantly, the audience gasped in amazement. Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao was already Soul Saint, making many feel inferior to her.
Then, Bing Ling circulated his Soul Power, and his Martial Soul, the Light Feather Divine Bow, appeared in his hand. Following that, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet. The appearance of Bing Ling's Soul Ring immediately ignited cheers from the entire audience. The female students, in particular, cheered even more Soul Douluo, praising his young age and handsome appearance.
Finally, Zheng Zhan glanced at the two of them disdainfully. The next moment, his Martial Soul Unbreakable Shield appeared, followed by nine Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appearing beneath Zheng Zhan's feet.
" Titled Douluo! My god, this is actually Titled Douluo!" someone shouted. Then someone next to him said disdainfully, " Level 9 Soul Engineer, he must be Titled Douluo!"
Hearing the exclamations of the Shrek Academy students, Zheng Zhan suddenly felt that it was quite nice to be valued and noticed!
However, he was displeased to hear many people exclaiming that he was Titled Douluo, but few people said he was Level 9 Soul Engineer. Zheng Zhan immediately circulated his Soul Power and spread his voice throughout the entire Soul Fighting Arena.
"You brats from the Shrek Academy, remember this: you must address me as Zheng Zhan, Level 9 Soul Engineer! Titled Douluo is merely my Soul Power Level."
