Chapter 102: So Weak It's Like a Soul King, Encountering Shrek Again
"Should I take this chance to kill her?"
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, suspended in front of him and unable to move, this thought flashed through Dugu Bo's mind.
But in the end, he rejected it.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent King Break!"
His soul ring lit up as he swung both fists, smashing fiercely into the shoulders of the two faintly glowing girls.
"Boom—!"
The moment the girls were blasted backward, Time Freeze dissipated.
"Old poison, not bad."
Zhu Zhuqing flipped midair, braced one hand on the ground, and landed steadily with a backward somersault.
"How is that possible? How are you not injured?!"
Dugu Bo's mind wavered slightly.
He hadn't aimed for the head, but that punch had still been delivered with full strength. How could she be completely unharmed?
Naturally, the girl wouldn't say that she had predicted his actions.
The moment she saw the eighth soul ring light up, she activated Invincible Golden Body!
"Again!"
The two girls charged forward once more—one pressing down with brute force, the other striking with Dark Gold Terror Claws!
In an instant, Dugu Bo was beaten to the point where he could barely catch his breath.
"C-can I surrender?"
Dugu Bo felt utterly miserable inside.
He specialized in poison and control.
Now she was immune to poison and had some mysterious defensive ability. Even if he managed to control her, he couldn't finish her off!
What kind of fight was this supposed to be?
"No!"
The moment the word fell, the two girls retracted the Eight Spider Lances and pushed their soul skills to the limit.
"Phantom Flash!"
Her figure flickered continuously throughout the valley, launching relentless attacks toward Dugu Bo.
Crimson Flame Explosive Charge! Shatter the Mountain and Split the Earth!
Flames flickered as heavy punches rained down.
Dugu Bo was forced into constant retreat, wounds on his body increasing. He could only rely on his superior soul power to barely hold on.
After several minutes of fighting, the girl's soul power still seemed bottomless, and her attacks remained as fierce as ever.
"Time Freeze!"
Unable to endure the humiliation any longer, Dugu Bo roared and, exhausting his soul power, threw one final punch at the girl.
Good news: it hit!
Bad news: it was a clone!
This scene completely shattered the old man.
He collapsed on the spot, lying flat on the ground.
"Get up. Continue."
As Time Freeze ended, Zhu Zhuqing urged him.
"I'm not fighting anymore. Just end me…"
Dugu Bo stared blankly at the blue sky.
Aside from his level, everything else was either suppressed or outright negated. How was he supposed to fight?
He couldn't even understand how he had earlier entertained the unrealistic thought of killing Zhu Zhuqing.
"..."
Seeing Dugu Bo's utterly shameless, give-up attitude, Zhu Zhuqing was speechless.
She had already held back dozens of levels. Was this really necessary?
"Zhuqing… you're amazing!"
Ning Rongrong ran over quickly, her eyes filled with admiration:
"You're only a Soul King, yet you defeated a Titled Douluo!"
"Just luck. If it were another Titled Douluo, I might not be their match."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly.
"Master, you're too modest!"
"In front of you, a Titled Douluo like me is as weak as a Soul King."
Dugu Bo slowly got up, his eyes filled with reverence as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing:
"So you can be more confident. Any Titled Douluo below Rank 95 on the entire continent—you can fight them, and absolutely none of them can kill you!"
"Is that so?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, gaining a clearer understanding of her strength.
She turned to Ning Rongrong. "It's getting late. We should go."
"Where to?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she immediately suggested:
"Come to my house! My bed is huge and super comfortable!"
"No."
Zhu Zhuqing rejected her without hesitation. "We're going to Spirit City."
"Spirit City?"
Ning Rongrong's smile stiffened.
Given the relationship between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, if she went there, would she even be able to come back?
"What, scared?"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her indifferently.
"Me? Scared?"
Ning Rongrong immediately straightened her back:
"I'm not scared at all!"
"When I was little, I even faced a Titled Douluo's attack without fear!"
"Mhm, good."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in satisfaction.
"Um… Zhuqing, why are you going to Spirit City?"
Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"To take you to meet the Grand Worship."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes and spoke calmly.
"Hahaha… Zhuqing, stop joking."
Ning Rongrong laughed at first, but as she laughed, her smile froze.
"How about… we go somewhere else?"
"Or I write a letter to my sect first and have my family come pick us up."
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow slightly. "You really are scared."
"I'm not scared!"
Ning Rongrong panicked, her cheeks flushing red. "Fine, let's go! Who's afraid of who!"
"Then let's go?"
"Let's go!"
The two left immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Leaving behind a completely confused Dugu Bo.
"So… I somehow became a spy for Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
As Dugu Bo processed it, his expression suddenly changed:
"Wait! That's not right!"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't let Yanyan be with Yu Tianheng!"
His figure flashed as he hurried toward the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong took small paths through the forest.
Heading south all the way, moving toward Spirit City.
Along the way, any soul beasts they encountered, regardless of age, were all killed and devoured by Zhu Zhuqing.
Following beside her, Ning Rongrong gradually noticed how strange Zhu Zhuqing was.
"Zhu… Zhuqing! How can you devour everything?"
Finally, she couldn't help tugging at Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve.
"And so what?"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her indifferently, her tone casual.
"That's so cool!"
Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on the Eight Spider Lances on Zhu Zhuqing's back as she asked eagerly:
"Where did you get those Eight Spider Lances? Can you get one for me, too? I want one!"
Every support-type soul master secretly had the heart of an attacker.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's lances, she was extremely envious.
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, merely reaching out to pat the top of Ning Rongrong's head.
That look seemed to say, "Don't cause trouble for me."
"Zhuqing!"
Ning Rongrong puffed up her cheeks in anger like a little bun.
"Let's go. Be good."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't explain; she only quickened her pace.
Two days later, they exited the forest and arrived at Silves City to rest.
The two wandered around, relaxing. When passing by the Great Soul Arena, they suddenly stopped.
Because standing opposite them was a group of familiar people.
"Zhu Zhuqing?" "Rongrong?"
"Oscar?" "Tang San…"
Both sides froze simultaneously, and the air instantly solidified.
In their gazes were surprise, confusion, discomfort, and excitement.
For a moment, no one spoke to break the silence.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes quickly swept over everyone.
The current Shrek had changed due to Bai Lu's influence.
Aside from the teachers, only four male students remained: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.
Among them, Zhao Wuji's right hand was still bandaged, indicating that he was not yet fully recovered.
"Tang San…"
When Zhu Zhuqing saw him, her heart sank slightly.
If Tang San were here, then Tang Hao was most likely nearby as well.
Thinking that the latter might be secretly observing her, she silently raised her guard to the highest level.
Phantom Flash, ready to be unleashed.
