Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 170 The Unparalleled King [Part 1] (5K)

As for Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Meng Hongchen, and Xixi, their cheeks flushed, indicating that they knew what Gongyang Mo hadn't finished saying.

The only exception was Xiao Hongchen, who merely glanced at Gongyang Mo with slight surprise before turning back to Mo Yuan, his fighting spirit rising.

Feeling that gaze, Mo Yuan also turned his head to look over.

Looking at the nemesis before him, whom he had cultivated day and night for the sake of defeating, Xiao Hongchen suppressed his excitement and greeted him.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time." Mo Yuan said in a nonchalant tone.

Seeing that Mo Yuan finally focused his attention on her and her brother, Meng Hongchen could no longer contain herself. Her dream lover, whom she had been longing for day and night, was right in front of her. Overwhelmed with excitement and joy, her eyes turned into little pink hearts.

"Mo Yuan! It's been so long!!"

After a loud shout, Meng Hongchen sprang up like an arrow and rushed toward Mo Yuan, who had his arms outstretched, as if she couldn't wait to hug him tightly and squeeze him in the next second.

But as soon as she stood up, before she could even take a step, two pairs of fair hands pressed her shoulders down and forced her back onto the sofa. No matter how much Meng Hongchen struggled, she couldn't move an inch away from the sofa.

"Miss Meng, please calm down." Ling Luochen's eyes were curved, but her tone was cold.

Ma Xiaotao whispered in Meng Hongchen's ear, "Yes, Miss Meng, don't forget the bond between us. Trying to get there first? That's impossible..."

Watching Ling Luochen and the other two pulling at each other, Mo Yuan's forehead creased with a few black lines, feeling utterly speechless.

What are these three up to now? How did they even create a bond between them?

Xiao Hongchen was already used to her younger sister's fervent behavior, and was even a little surprised that she could hold back for so long instead of rushing over to Mo Yuan the moment she saw him.

"Mo Yuan, you know I don't like beating around the bush. Let's get straight to the point," Xiao Hongchen stood up, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and shouted.

"Mo Yuan, it's been three years since our last encounter! A full three years! I've waited far too long for this day. Now stand before me, come! Let's have another match! A true duel between men!"

"..."

Looking at the passionate Xiao Hongchen, Mo Yuan suddenly felt like laughing. "You waited for me for three years just to get another beating?"

However, he didn't intend to refuse. He was just idling around anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to find something to do.

Mo Yuan replied, "Since you want to take on the challenge, then fine. Let me see what progress you've made in the year or so you've spent at Shrek Academy."

Faced with Mo Yuan's condescending answer, Xiao Hongchen not only did not get angry, but became even more excited. After all, what Mo Yuan said was absolutely right. He had lost three years ago, and no matter how much progress he made three years later, he could only be a challenger.

"Count me in. I fight those junior students in the Soul Arena every day. After a while, I feel like my bones are going to rust."

Ma Xiaotao stood up and said that she had long since become a Soul Saint, and was not far from the Soul Douluo realm. Looking at the entire Shrek Academy, no one of her generation could rival her except for Mo Yuan.

Now that she finally has a chance to take a gamble, she naturally won't miss it. Of course, there's also the opportunity to get closer to Mo Yuan.

"I want to come too! I want to come too!" Meng Hongchen raised her hand eagerly, and as she spoke, she glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen provocatively.

If you don't let me have contact with Mo Yuan normally, then you can't just step in and stop me when I'm competing with him, can you?

Knowing that Mo Yuan's favorite fighting style was close-quarters combat, a shy blush rose on Meng Hongchen's beautiful face.

When Mo Yuan gets close, I'll... hehe!
Ling Luochen followed closely behind, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mo Yuan, her red lips parted slightly, "Count me in. It's been three years since we last clashed. Let me see how far you've come."

“Since everyone’s coming, Gongyang Mo and I will join in too,” Yao Haoxuan said with a grin. “Brother Mo, go easy on me later, my little body probably can’t take your beating.”

Gongyang Mo still hadn't given up on her idea, and said with a charming look in her eyes, "Dean Mo Yuan~ If Monkey and I win, can you grant me a request? It's not difficult, just let me be your secretary."

Subsequently, Xixi, Beibei, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi all spoke up to join. Xu Sanshi originally didn't want to join, but seeing Jiang Nannan's slightly disgusted look, he immediately agreed as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, what about you?" Mo Yuan asked.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head. "I'll pass. The academy's arena probably can't withstand my attacks."

Han Ruoruo also shook her head and declined the invitation to the competition. However, when no one was paying attention, she silently smiled and said a few words to Mo Yuan.

"My real duel isn't here?" Mo Yuan's eye twitched slightly as he turned his head away from Han Ruoruo, muttering to himself, "It's really strange. Senior Sister isn't even thirty yet, how come she's so..."

It was the dragon blood that gave him an extremely powerful physique; otherwise, he probably would have been lying in bed for the next few days.

……

The sun hung high in the sky, and the warm, not scorching, autumn sunlight streamed through the glass above the arena, falling on the empty battle stage.

The students who had started their classes in the audience not far away sat obediently in their seats, looking at Mo Yuan and his group with curious eyes.

"These are the children with evil martial souls that you searched the world for? They look exactly like ordinary children." Xiao Hongchen asked, puzzled, looking at the Fire Seed students who were no different from ordinary children.

The Douluo Continent is only so big. If any force makes a slightly big move, the detailed information will be on the desks of all forces within a day.

Moreover, Shrek Academy didn't intend to hide the fact that they had searched for and brought back children who had awakened evil martial souls. If they wanted to see them, they could see them; no one dared to criticize them anyway, at least not the three great empires of Douluo Continent.

Given this situation, you can condemn it if you want, but just don't come begging to me when you get beaten up by the Sun Moon Empire.

"Brother, are you talking nonsense? Isn't it normal for kids to act like kids? Even if they possess evil martial souls, in my opinion, they are still many times better than those spoiled brats in the empire."

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes and said speechlessly. At first, she didn't quite understand this either, since the education she received since childhood hadn't taught her this.

But ever since she learned that Mo Yuan had become the dean of the Fire Seed Department, she immediately understood. Could there be anything wrong with what Mo Yuan did? Impossible. Even if there was, it must be her own problem.

Unlike before, Xiao Hongchen, who had been thoroughly berated by his younger sister, did not react this time. Instead, he nodded slowly in deep agreement.
"Yes, all children are the same. What can a six-year-old understand about good and evil? Unfortunately, only Shrek Academy can do this."

This is not difficult to understand. Anyone who isn't stubborn can figure it out with a little thought.

People like Ling Luochen, Yao Haoxuan, and Xixi, who had participated in the adjudication team, greeted the children not far away in a friendly manner. The children also greeted them with surprise and affection, calling them "brother" and "sister".

Mo Yuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly felt a strange gaze fall on him. Following the gaze, he saw a child staring intently at him. The child was Meng He.

Seeing that Mo Yuan was looking directly at him, Meng He subconsciously wanted to pretend he didn't see him and turn his head to the side. He had been at Shrek Academy for more than a year, and among all the people he had met, Mo Yuan was the one who impressed him the most.

Whether it was the rumors about Mo Yuan's legendary deeds among his classmates, the bottle of Xuan Shui Pill, or those two solemn promises, the main reason he was able to emerge from the shadows of the past was because of Mo Yuan.

However, before he could turn his head, he saw Mo Yuan nod and smile at him, his smile as warm as the winter sun. Upon seeing this, he was suddenly stunned and at a loss for what to do.

"Meng He, do you know that handsome older brother?" The little girl sitting next to Meng He asked quickly, her eyes lighting up as she saw the interaction between Mo Yuan and Meng He.
Another child nearby immediately chimed in, "I heard from Teacher Feng that the older brother seems to be our dean. I thought it would be some old geezer, or that Dean Yan who doesn't look like a good person at all. I didn't expect the dean to be so young."

Meng He turned his head, recalling Mo Yuan's smile from earlier, and suddenly smiled, "I guess you could say we know each other..." Upon hearing this, the other children nearby immediately became interested and surrounded Meng He, asking him questions.

"Oh? You two actually know each other?! Then tell us quickly, what kind of person is that older brother?!"

"Yes, yes! Tell us, tell us!"

"..."

"Dean, what brings you here?" Teacher Feng asked as he approached Mo Yuan and looked at the large group of inner court disciples behind him.

"We're planning to have a friendly exchange of skills here. Hopefully, that won't disrupt your teaching schedule."

"How could that be? I'll take the children back to their classrooms right away." Teacher Feng said, preparing to call the children to gather and leave, but was stopped by Mo Yuan.

"There's no need for them to leave. Let them stay and watch. After witnessing the strength of the experts, they'll likely become more diligent and attentive to their cultivation."

"Okay! I'll go arrange it right away!"

Teacher Feng immediately turned around and announced the news to the children. After a brief moment of confusion, the children's joyful and excited cheers resounded throughout the entire Soul Arena.

No child in Douluo Continent would not yearn for the strong, nor would they miss any duel between the strong.

Looking at those smiling, innocent faces, a smile slowly appeared on Mo Yuan's face. He took out the Han Yue and Xin Ting Hou twin swords, which had not been seen for a long time, and hung them on his waist.

Under the children's watchful eyes, Mo Yuan leaped up and instantly arrived on the Soul Battle Platform. Xiao Hongchen immediately tried to follow, but Mo Yuan's next words made him freeze in place.

"Don't waste the children's time, all of you come at me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge arena fell silent. Xiao Hongchen frowned. He wasn't angry because of Mo Yuan's words. On the contrary, he thought it was normal. After all, everyone knew that apart from Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, no one here had any chance of winning against Mo Yuan in a one-on-one fight.

That's right, absolutely. In the eyes of those who have fought against Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan's strength is so suffocating, unattainable, and beyond reach.

Even so, there are ten of them here! Apart from Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan, the others are all at least Soul Emperors, and Ma Xiaotao is even close to breaking through to Soul Douluo.

The lineup is simply superb; they lack nothing and are a perfect team. With ten members, not to mention Soul Saints, even Soul Douluos would have to give way.

Yes, Mo Yuan is strong, but not to this extent, right?
"Mo Yuan, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

Seeing that they were not very willing, Mo Yuan was too lazy to waste time and directly offered an attractive condition, "What do you think? How about this, all of you come at me together. If you win, I will grant any one of your requests, of course, within my capabilities."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Meng Hongchen, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo's eyes immediately lit up with astonishing light.

"Alright! It's a deal! No one can go back on their word! Now, even if you don't want to fight, you have to!" Meng Hongchen shouted, instantly rushing out to the Soul Fighting Stage, his excitement overflowing.

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao exchanged a glance, and both of them saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

--Excited.

As for why they were so excited, those who know, know. It's simply because Mo Yuan's offer was too tempting. Others may not know, but they just couldn't resist.

"Hmph, looks like I'll have to fight to the death today." Ma Xiaotao's smile was harder to suppress than an AK, as if she had already imagined the scene of exchanging conditions with Mo Yuan after winning.

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen leaped up and went to the Soul Arena. Gongyang Mo and Xixi followed closely behind. After hesitating for a moment, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan also stepped onto the Soul Arena, leaving only Xiao Hongchen still bewildered in the wind.

“This…this…” Xiao Hongchen sighed, and seeing the two long swords hanging at Mo Yuan’s waist, he immediately gave up struggling. “Alright, this condition is indeed very tempting.”

The bright autumn sun shone on the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, dividing it in two like a curtain of light. On the right side stood ten people, including Ma Xiaotao, each one poised and ready to fight, their excitement and longing evident in their eyes.

On the left, Mo Yuan stood alone in the shadows, his silky black hair tied up high, a strand of hair falling beside his handsome face, and two swords hidden in their sheaths casually hanging at his waist.

Zhang Lexuan stood up from her seat, and after confirming that both sides were ready, she announced loudly.

"The battle begins!"

Before the words had even finished, several powerful streams of soul power erupted in the Soul Arena, intertwining and transforming into waves of soul power that surged in all directions.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo immediately took action, using the Soul Guidance Shield that came with the Soul Arena to bind all the soul power within the Soul Arena.

The first to act was Meng Hongchen. Her long, snow-white hair became crystal clear, like ice crystals, and her wine-red eyes turned into blood red, formed from congealed blood. Behind her, a pure white toad-like shadow quietly appeared.

A perfect configuration of six soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and yellow—rose from beneath her feet. Not only that, but blue light also shone from all parts of her body, continuously extending outwards.

Soon, a pair of exquisite and elegant light blue armor enveloped her curvaceous and graceful body, adding a touch of heroic beauty to her icy and aloof demeanor.

The top-tier beast spirit is the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, with the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, a level six peak soul-guided armor, a pair of level six soul-guided swords, and a level six soul-guided thruster.

With such a powerful combination, Meng Hongchen was now able to fight against ordinary Soul Saints.

The others followed closely behind. The same six perfectly configured spirit rings rose up under Xiao Hongchen's feet, and golden level six peak spirit guide armor covered his entire body. The three-legged golden toad martial spirit appeared behind him, and the third leg stretched out and stomped hard on the ground.

"First Soul Skill: Metal Control!"

"Third Soul Skill, Metal Condensation!"

As the two spirit rings flashed, Xiao Hongchen waved his hands and threw hundreds of small metal balls into the sky. Then, with the metal balls as the core, more than a hundred level-six spirit cannons were formed amidst the sound of metal colliding.

The oppressive aura of the top-tier beast martial soul and the overwhelming force of hundreds of level-six soul-guided cannons were unmistakable. Just looking at them made Teacher Feng below furrow his brows and involuntarily take a step back.

Subsequently, various other martial souls with different auras appeared one after another. Ma Xiaotao stepped on seven spirit rings, her whole body was wrapped in flames, and the last spirit ring, the seventh one, was even mixed with streaks of crimson in black, obviously this spirit ring was almost 100,000 years old.

Although the others were slightly inferior, they were still top-notch geniuses. In particular, after Gongyang Mo, who was at the Soul Emperor level, amplified everyone's power, the group's prestige rose to another level.

If Mo Yuan had faced this situation three years ago, he might have been defeated. However, time is fair to everyone. They are growing, and so is Mo Yuan, and he is definitely growing much faster than them.

Xiao Hongchen knew this principle, and everyone else did too, so even though they were ready, they didn't immediately launch an attack on Mo Yuan.

The tempting prizes were certainly appealing, but their curiosity about Mo Yuan's strength was equally strong.

Soon, amidst the anticipation of everyone, Mo Yuan moved. The light in the Soul Arena suddenly dimmed, and his ancient, solemn, profound, and noble golden eyes were ignited.

Its ancient emperor-like majesty swept across all directions, and even the soul-guided protective shield could not stop it in the slightest.

A more violent and restless surge of soul power quietly appeared, and Xiao Hongchen's brows twitched violently, his pupils contracting to the point of being as small and sharp as needle tips.

"This...how is this possible?!"

A yellow light, symbolizing a hundred-year soul ring, appeared beneath Mo Yuan's feet, followed by a thousand-year purple, a ten-thousand-year black, a nearly one-hundred-thousand-year black-red, and finally two streaks of blood-red that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
