Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 212 Contact and Conflict, Intimidation

Not long after leaving the VIP room, Shu Yan noticed something strange behind him.

Looking back, Shu Yan felt a little helpless. He looked at Di Qiuer who was following behind Xu Jiujiu, and then Shu Yan set his gaze on Xu Jiujiu again.

"Why are you following me?"

Xu Jiujiu smiled softly, and then said:
"This girl heard that you were going to solve this matter, and begged me to come with you. Sister Xue has already gone back, and I don't think it's a big deal, so I just agreed."

Shu Yan rubbed Di Qiu'er's head again, and then said:

"You can come with me if you want, but you have to behave yourself and don't do anything rash anymore, understand?"

Di Qiuer curled her lips and nodded reluctantly.

The golden dragon symbolizes extreme violence, which will affect her temperament to some extent. Shu Yan really misses the arrogant and cute auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. In comparison, Di Qiuer is just a little ice lump. Although she is also very cute, Shu Yan still prefers soft and cute big cats that can be petted.

Walking down the spiral staircase at the back, there were more pedestrians coming and going, cheers echoing in their ears, and the competition stage could be clearly seen from here. The three of them took only two steps and their steps paused strangely when their eyes met an oncoming team.

The oncoming team happened to be the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy that had clashed with Di Qiuer.

At this time, almost all the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy were present, and walking in the front was a tall old man with a whisker.

The old man's short white hair stood up like steel needles, and the hair on both sides of his temples connected to his curly beard. He looked quite fierce and it was obvious that he was not an easy person to get along with.

Shu Yan could clearly sense that his cultivation was only at the Soul Douluo level, which meant that he was an eighth-level soul engineer.

What surprised Shu Yan was the old man who was slightly behind him. He had not observed him carefully before, but now that he was closer, Shu Yan discovered that this man was actually a Level 91 Titled Douluo, but he had been trying hard to hide his cultivation level, and the cultivation level he showed was only around Level 87.

But this is not important. Nine and a half out of ten Titled Douluo of the Sun-Moon Empire were forcibly improved by drugs. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the pros and cons of this training method.

The two teams were stunned after noticing each other. Then, the old man who was the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy changed his expression when he saw Di Qiuer. But before he could say anything, a girl with long straight silver hair suddenly walked out of the team quickly. Her water-blue eyes were full of anger at this time, but she had not taken a few steps before she was pulled back by a handsome young man.

Xu Jiujiu grabbed Di Qiuer's arm, and the eyes of the two beautiful girls collided in mid-air. Sparks flew everywhere for a moment, and the surging fighting spirit made the curious passers-by who were watching the show around them couldn't help but step back frequently, for fear of being affected.

Unlike the silence of the two leading elders and the Hongchen brothers and sisters, the other members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had already started to make noise.

Although some of them did not like the arrogant Hongchen brothers and sisters, after all, it was their own people who were beaten. At this time, they decisively chose to unite against the outside world.

Listening to the chaotic discussions around her, Di Qiu'er clenched her fists tighter and tighter. But just when her patience was about to reach its limit, the old man leading the Sun and Moon team took the lead and scolded:

"Shut up, everyone! Anyone who dares to say another word of nonsense will be punished when he returns home."

After the old man's stern rebuke, all the players of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, both the regular team and the reserve team, suddenly fell silent. The only ones who were not affected were probably Xiao Hongchen, who still had a smile on his face, and Meng Hongchen, who was standing beside him gritting his teeth.

Xiao Hongchen glanced at the people behind him, chuckled, then stepped forward and said:
"My name is Xiao Hongchen, captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy reserve team, and this is my sister, Meng Hongchen."

Meng Hongchen was being dragged by her brother and was originally furious, but when she looked up and saw Shu Yan's face, her anger inexplicably dissipated a little. However, when her eyes met Di Qiuer's, sparks still flew.

Shu Yan also chuckled, and then said:
"Shu Yan, a member of the Xingluo National Academy team."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu looked up at Shu Yan for some reason, as if she found it funny. Fortunately, she had a first-class ability to control her emotions, so she didn't laugh out loud.

Team member? Let Shu Yan, whose actual cultivation level is 89th level Soul Douluo and whose real combat power can crush a Titled Douluo with one kick, be a team member?

If this goes on, I'm afraid the referee won't have to care about the lives of the opposing players, and should first care about his own safety...

Hearing Shu Yan's words, Xiao Hongchen's expression did not change, he just continued:

"I really hope to compete with you in future competitions."

"Oh?"

Shu Yan smiled with interest, and then said softly:
"You can never be my opponent. My only opponent is myself."

Xiao Hongchen: “…?” If he remembered correctly, this should be his line…

The expression on his face froze for a moment, and then Xiao Hongchen returned to normal. He looked at Di Qiuer behind Shu Yan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then showed his signature smile again.

The two old men standing behind the Hongchen brothers and sisters looked at each other and did not act rashly.

Shu Yan's gaze fell on Meng Hongchen for a moment, and then a clear ice crystal appeared in his hand, and then he presented it to Meng Hongchen.

"My sister has this kind of personality and a bad temper. This is your compensation. Take it. After all, both sides have problems in this matter."

Meng Hongchen was stunned. The energy contained in the ice crystal in front of her actually caused her martial soul to tremble.

There was a slight change in Xiao Hongchen's expression, and then he gave Meng Hongchen a subtle look. Although Meng Hongchen didn't want to give up just like that, he still put it away in the end.

Seeing Meng Hongchen accept it, Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he just continued:

"Which student of your academy was the one who whispered about my sister behind her back? Let him come out and apologize in person. It just so happens that everyone is here now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two old men suddenly became gloomy, and even the members of the two teams who had been quiet originally couldn't help but change their expressions.

Seeing no one answering for a long while, Shu Yan said with a hint of amusement:

"Are all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy so irresponsible?"

"You have the guts to chatter behind my back, but you don't have the guts to stand out at a time like this. If you stand out now and act tougher, maybe I'll look at you with a higher regard. Tsk tsk, but now it seems like you're just like this..."

The sarcastic words immediately made the expressions of the members of the two teams gloomy. These words were not just insulting the guy who gossiped behind others' backs, but also insulting the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The next moment, Mr. Ma took a few steps forward and said in a slightly low voice:
"Boy, you've gone too far. Don't think that just because we're in the Xing Luo Empire, I won't punish you."

A powerful pressure was coming towards him, and Shu Yan just snorted coldly in response. Then, an even more terrifying pressure came. Mr. Ma was not careful for a moment and was forced to retreat two steps. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were in even worse condition. They retreated five or six steps and were supported by others before they could stand firm.

"You also know that this is the Xing Luo Empire. If you don't want to die, follow the rules of Xing Luo. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can return to your homeland alive..."

The gentle look on Shu Yan's face slowly disappeared, perhaps he was used to maintaining that gentle look, and the sudden change was frightening. As frost began to spread along the crystal ground inch by inch, Ma Lao and the other old man's faces suddenly changed, and then they released their soul rings together to resist, and only then did they barely withstand the pressure from Shu Yan.

Everyone was shocked. Even Xiao Hongchen, who always thought he could control the situation at will, could not help but be shocked and confused. He had previously investigated and found that Shu Yan and the other two were only a few years older than him at most. But now he was able to suppress them by himself, and it took a Soul Douluo and a Titled Douluo to release their martial spirits in order to avoid making a fool of himself in public.

With a mixture of emotions, Xiao Hongchen's face turned ashen and his fists were clenched tightly. Thinking of how confidently and calmly he had talked to Shu Yan before, he now wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

How is it possible! He is only a few years older than me, how can he be so strong... How can there be someone more talented than me in the world!

Meng Hongchen's expression became even more astonished. When Shu Yan released his soul power, her martial spirit automatically possessed him, as if she had received a great stimulation. Under multiple shocks, Meng Hongchen's gaze towards Shu Yan gradually became complicated...

"I'll ask again, does that person have the courage to stand up? This is the last time."

Shu Yan's almost indifferent voice echoed in the empty hall. Frost had trapped all the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy. As time went by, even the defensive soul guide shield taken out by Old Ma was cracked by the low temperature. The expressions of Old Ma and another old man had become completely gloomy. The soul guide shield jointly cast by the two of them would take a lot of effort even for a Super Douluo to break through. Now, under the pervasive coldness of this young man, it showed signs of damage so quickly. How powerful was this young man?
At this moment, Giant Strength Douluo in a black robe suddenly appeared. Looking at the scene in front of him, his bright pupils suddenly shrank, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

When everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy saw the sudden appearance of Giant Strength Douluo, before they could speak, they heard Xu Jiujiu, who had not spoken before, speak:
"Back off, you have nothing to do here."

Juli Douluo understood in an instant, then bowed respectfully and said:

"Don't worry, Princess. This area has been cleaned up. No one will come to disturb you. I have something important to do, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, Juli Douluo resolutely turned around and left. As for the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, he didn't even glance at them...

Everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy: "......?"

So? Are we also part of your play?
