"How dare you call me venomous?" Wang Dong said sternly.
"Didn't you also say I got in through connections?" Huo Yuhao retorted without flinching.
"Alright, it's been a long time since any weakling dared to provoke me. Looks like the rules I prepared for my dormmates won't be needed. You'll be kicked out of the dorm, kicked out of Shrek," Wang Dong said confidently.
Huo Yuhao ignored her and instead looked around the dormitory. It was fairly clean, with a faint fragrance in the air. He nodded and said, "I'm quite satisfied with how you cleaned the dormitory. If I defeat you, you don't have to move out overnight; I'll allow you to stay. However, from now on, you'll be responsible for all the dormitory cleaning."
"Heh, you're just an eleventh-level Soul Master, you've got quite the nerve. Let's go outside!" Wang Dong shouted.
"Let's go then." The two immediately left the dormitory and went to the small square downstairs, where they each took their stances, ready for a fight.
The old man who had been lying on the recliner downstairs in the dormitory finally slowly opened his eyes. He wondered how the little guy Qian Chen had been training for ten days was doing, and whether he could beat this domineering little girl.
The two had just stood facing each other in the small square when Wang Dong was about to make a move, but Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute. We need to set rules for the competition."
"What rules? Tell me," Wang Dong said angrily.
"Today's rules are simple. First, fight with bare hands and feet without using your Martial Soul; second, use your Martial Soul and fight with all your might; third, you can use Soul Tool for assistance and fight with all your might."
Wang Dong said arrogantly, "Although I don't use Soul Tool Soul Tool, I allow you to use all of them and fight me with all your might."
"How arrogant. It seems I must teach you a lesson." After saying that, Huo Yuhao tapped the Level 2 Defensive Soul Tool engraved with the words " Feng Luan " and activated it. The next moment, the Level 2 Soul Tool quickly unfolded, wrapping Huo Yuhao's body tightly, leaving only a few joints open for movement.
The old man lying in the chair glanced at it and immediately recognized it as Level 2 Soul Tool usable by an eleventh-level minor Soul Master. Wang Dong's scalp tingled at the sight.
The wings of the Light Goddess Butterfly spread behind her, carrying her as she charged towards Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao shouted, "Well done!" Relying on the protection of his Level 2 Defensive Soul Tool, he directly clashed head-on with Wang Dong.
"Thump!" "Clang!" Two different sounds rang out as Huo Yuhao's fist struck Wang Dong, and Wang Dong's fist slammed into Huo Yuhao's Soul Tool.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both staggered back several steps. At that moment, Wang Dong felt like crying. Not only did the place where Huo Yuhao had hit him hurt, but the fist that had slammed into the Soul Tool hurt even more.
Wang Dong knew she had overestimated herself today and had no chance of defeating Huo Yuhao, who used Soul Tool. She said, "I lost," and turned to walk towards dormitory 108. Given her proud personality, since she had lost today, she would simply leave dormitory 108; she would never swallow her pride and stay to clean for Huo Yuhao.
But a strong force seemed to be preventing her from leaving the dormitory, even if she had to compromise. When Wang Dong returned to the dormitory, she reached out to make her bed, but the intense resistance in her mind made her dizzy. She rubbed her head, and at that moment, she really felt like her body wasn't her own.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already returned to dormitory 108. Seeing her like this, he said, "If you don't want to leave, I won't make things difficult for you. From now on, the cleaning of this dormitory will be your responsibility."
"Mmm," Wang Dong replied through gritted teeth, sounding both aggrieved and resentful.
Just as the two reconciled, the old man downstairs was still reminiscing about Huo Yuhao's Level 2 Defensive Soul Tool. He really didn't know where the kid got it; although its grade was low, its effect was truly remarkable.
As he pondered, a teacher from the academy hurriedly approached him and whispered, " Mu En, something terrible has happened. Bei Bei and Tang Ya haven't returned to the Shrek Academy to report. According to reliable sources, a mysterious Titled Douluo destroyed the Iron Blood Sect, which had previously annihilated the Tang Sect. It's said that this mysterious Titled Douluo has joined the Tang Sect and even went to the Heavenly Soul Empire's palace to request a group of guards and citizens from Emperor Wei Qing, thus rebuilding the Tang Sect."
Upon hearing this, Mu En's eyes twitched, and he quickly asked, "What about Bei Bei? Has he been staying at the Tang Sect all this time?"
"Yes, Mu En. After the Tang Sect was rebuilt, Young Master Bei Bei stayed there to help with sect affairs, and occasionally participated in the Tang Sect gatherings and outdoor activities." This teacher was quite shrewd, not mentioning at all that Bei Bei spent his days in Heaven Dou City eating, drinking, and having fun with Tang Ya.
"Hmph, is that all the ambition you have?" Mu En sneered. "A half-dead Tang Sect, even if they manage to recruit a Titled Douluo, that's all they're good for. They can't retain any real powerhouses. Go, arrange for someone to bring Bei Bei back to me."
"What about Tang Ya?" the teacher pressed.
"If she wants to come back, she can come back with us; if she doesn't want to, let her go," Mu En answered readily. He truly didn't want Tang Ya to return to the Shrek Academy or stay by Bei Bei's side. It was just a pity that Bei Bei's mess had caused him to lose Zhang Lexuan, his perfect wife. But fortunately, with Mu En around, it was equivalent to exchanging Zhang Lexuan for the lifelong protection of a Limit Douluo, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and a Limit Douluo's promise. All things considered, it wasn't a bad deal.
"Yes." The teacher received the instruction, bowed, and withdrew.
At this moment, on Sea God Island, Huo Yuhao went to the Outer Court dormitory, and Qian Guyi also went to the Outer Court dormitory. Zhang Lexuan and Qian Chen's residence finally became quiet. The two finally ushered in a long-awaited time alone.
Qian Chen sat on the sofa in Zhang Lexuan's apartment and gently pulled Zhang Lexuan into his arms. Zhang Lexuan nestled against his chest, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat.
" Lexuan, it's so good to have you by my side." Qian Chen hugged Zhang Lexuan, feeling a sense of security from her gentleness and kindness. Over the years, fighting against Evil Soul Master to quickly improve his Soul Power Level, and constantly guarding against Tang San as the chosen one of destiny, although it didn't bring him down, it did leave him physically and mentally exhausted.
"If you're willing, you can work at the Shrek Academy from now on. We can be together happily like this every day," Zhang Lexuan said, looking at Qian Chen with deep affection.
Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Qian Chen fell silent. He did not respond.
" Qian Chen, what's wrong? Don't you want to stay at the Shrek Academy forever and stay with me forever?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
" Lexuan, of course I'm willing to stay with you forever. But Shrek Academy is too small in my heart. There are still many things I need to do in the entire Douluo Continent."
Zhang Lexuan became interested and pressed on, " Qian Chen, what is it that you absolutely must do? Tell me. Although I'm far inferior to you now, and am only a Soul Douluo, I will definitely help you with whatever you want to do."
"I want to kill every single Evil Soul Master in the Douluo Continent, leaving none alive." Qian Chen's voice was as resolute as iron.
"I will definitely help you. One day, we will exterminate Evil Soul Master in the world."
Qian Chen shook his head slightly and said softly, " Lexuan, with the current structure and management system of the Douluo Continent, it will never be possible to completely eliminate Evil Soul Master."
Zhang Lexuan opened her beautiful eyes wide, her gaze fixed on Qian Chen's face, her voice unconsciously lowering slightly. " Qian Chen, do you want to change this world?"
Qian Chen didn't avoid her gaze and asked in return, "Yes, Lexuan, are you still going to help me?"
