Chapter 33: Battling the Shrek Team, Breaking Xiao Wu's Leg
As night fell, Chu Chen and his group arrived at the Soto City Great Spirit Arena. Although he knew a confrontation with Tang San's group was inevitable, Chu Chen was aware that the match between the Huangdou Team and the Shrek Team should be in three days.
However, he followed Teacher Qin Ming's instructions, hiding his true cultivation and joining the Huangdou Team with the strength of a Soul Elder.
Consequently, over the next three days, the Huangdou Team maintained an undefeated record. The nobles who had invited them made a fortune because of it, though this naturally came at the cost of heavy losses for the Great Spirit Arena.
As a result, the people from the Great Spirit Arena contacted Shrek's group.
At this moment, in the Huangdou Team's preparation room, everyone was flipping through the profiles of their next opponents. Yu Tianheng said dismissively, "So mysterious and flashy—they even use code names?"
"Evil Eyes White Tiger? I might as well call myself the Sky-Sustaining Azure Dragon!"
Yu Tianheng casually tossed the information on those few people onto the table. "Teacher Qin, the strongest among this group is only Rank 38, and the weakest is only Rank 27. Isn't this just a casual win?"
In contrast, Teacher Qin Ming looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy. "If you look down on this Shrek Team, you will suffer for it."
Dugu Yan looked curiously at Chu Chen, who was sitting with Ye Lingling, and spoke up. "Chu Chen, the opponent's control system Soul Master, Thousand Hands Asura, also has Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul. It looks like you've met your match."
"..."
Chu Chen raised an eyebrow. A match?
If one really considered it, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would be considered his junior by a generation.
"The Martial Souls of this group are truly strange. There's even a 'Sausage Seller.' Hey, Shi Mo, do you want to eat my Sausage?"
"Eat your mother's ass."
At the same time, in Shrek's preparation room, everyone was staring solemnly at the Huangdou Team's player information. Yu Xiaogang said with a heavy expression, "The opponent actually has three people who have reached Rank 39..."
Indeed, the three Rank 39s he mentioned...
Were naturally Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Chu Chen. To keep Chu Chen's strength hidden, Teacher Qin Ming had only reported his Soul Power as Rank 39.
Although it was somewhat against the rules, during these three days of combat, Chu Chen hadn't even used a Soul Skill, let alone gone all out, and he certainly hadn't released Soul Power at the Soul Sect level.
If anyone were to investigate, there was really nothing to find fault with!
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Jade Phosphorus Snake... these are all terrifying Martial Souls. Wait... Blue Silver Grass?"
Yu Xiaogang's brow furrowed. He stared at the familiar name on the file and then gestured for Tang San to come over. When Tang San saw the familiar name, a strange look appeared in his eyes as well.
"It's him? How is this possible?!"
Tang San looked as if he had seen a ghost. He was all too familiar with the name Chu Chen; they both came from Notting Academy.
But Chu Chen's strength had actually reached Rank 39?!
"Little San, do you know him?" Dai Mubai and the others leaned in curiously.
"I do. He has the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul just like me. Although I suffered a setback at his hands once before, I'm confident I can defeat him now. What we need to worry about is what Teacher mentioned—the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul."
Tang San spoke with full confidence. Now that he had his third Soul Ring, his Blue Silver Grass could be considered powerful in terms of poison. This time, his Blue Silver Grass would definitely not wither again!
"Chu Chen, this time I'll let you see whose Blue Silver Grass contains the stronger toxicity," Tang San thought to himself.
"You don't need to worry about Chu Chen. I suspect that fellow probably eavesdropped on the advice I gave you, which is why he also added a poison-attribute Soul Ring to his Blue Silver Grass. But he only overheard the basics. Even if his Soul Power exceeds yours, he won't be your match."
Yu Xiaogang spoke to Tang San with earnest words.
Clearly, he had always believed that the reason Tang San's Blue Silver Grass withered whenever it got near Chu Chen was that Chu Chen had used poison!
Yu Xiaogang was quite the character.
With his line 'there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters,' he had essentially insulted himself twice.
...
Before long, the Martial Soul Fight between the Huangdou Team and the Shrek Team officially began. Above the spacious Martial Soul Arena stage, the host began introducing the information of both teams to the audience.
Due to Chu Chen's sudden addition, the Huangdou Team had swapped out Oslo, who was an agility-attack system master with the Ghost Leopard Martial Soul. The other players remained the same. Their opponents were, naturally, Tang San's group.
Chu Chen did not walk at the very front of the team; instead, he walked at the back with Ye Lingling. Then, the masked Shrek group entered the arena.
"Hmm?" Chu Chen sensed a gaze sweeping over him.
He looked up and met Tang San's gaze through the crowd. Chu Chen's eyes were deep, with a hint of playfulness spreading within them.
"Although I want to ruthlessly crush this little brat, I still need to hide the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor. Tang Hao might be watching from the shadows..."
Chu Chen pondered. Tang Hao was indeed a major concern. The root cause was that he currently lacked the power to directly contend with Tang Hao; otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing the man directly.
"Martial Soul Fight, begin!"
Following the host's command, both sides released their Martial Souls at that moment. Chu Chen's team naturally displayed a uniform configuration of optimal Soul Rings. This was clearly because Chu Chen had used the Blue Silver Domain to hide his aura while also masking his Soul Rings.
"Hmph, just a bunch of country bumpkins, and they dare to fight us!"
Yu Tianheng's arms instantly completed their dragon transformation. He erupted with powerful combat strength, lightning coiling around his arms as he fully displayed the dominance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
He leaped forward, charging directly at the opponents.
At this time, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing relied on their own agile speed to bypass the frontal battlefield, heading toward the rear of the Huangdou Team. Clearly, their target was Ye Lingling!
"I'll stop her!" Yu Feng, who was in front of Chu Chen, said.
He was also an agility-attack system master, and his Soul Power suppressed Zhu Zhuqing's. Even with the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was fully capable of holding her back. Thus, Xiao Wu's target was very clear: it was Ye Lingling!
Or rather, it was Chu Chen!
"You fellow, watch how Sister Xiao Wu teaches you a lesson today!" Xiao Wu's gaze toward Chu Chen was full of hostility.
During their six years at Notting Academy, Chu Chen had frequently eaten rabbit in front of her. Furthermore, she remembered very clearly how Chu Chen had beaten her up back then; today, she was determined to get her revenge.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's attacks became incredibly sharp, even carrying a hint of killing intent.
"Chu Chen, be careful," Ye Lingling reminded him.
Chu Chen nodded. Facing Xiao Wu's attack, his body flashed to the side as he caught her flying kick with one palm. Then, his arm suddenly exerted force as he grabbed Xiao Wu's calf, and a surge of life energy vibration directly pierced through her lower leg.
Xiao Wu wanted to use her Soft Skill to restrain Chu Chen, but her calf was pierced. A sharp pain surged, and she nearly lost her balance.
"Boom!"
Chu Chen condensed his Soul Power and threw a punch toward Xiao Wu's chest. He showed no mercy; this punch sent Xiao Wu flying dozens of meters. If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass hadn't caught her from the air, she likely would have been knocked out of the match immediately.
But even so, Xiao Wu could no longer stand up. Chu Chen had no good impression of Xiao Wu, so he didn't hold back at all. The extreme vibration of Soul Power condensed from life energy had shattered Xiao Wu's leg bone.
