Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 225 A Gap as Vast as an Insurmountable Chasm

Anger rose like wildfire in the hearts of these proud sons of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.

For them, accepting a few evil spirit masters as teammates was already a huge psychological preparation and a sign of making a significant concession.

But no matter how much construction is done, the dissatisfaction in one's heart will not disappear; it will only accumulate in one's heart.

Ling Shuang's arrogance—no, Jiang Xue's and Tang Ya Gu Yue Na's arrogance—was like a fire that completely ignited this fuse.

The older Ma Rulong was alright; although his face was pale, he was at least able to suppress his emotions.

But laughing at the world is not an option.

He was still just a teenager.

Even knowing that the person in front of him was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince, the young man, caught up in his passion, disregarded the consequences.

"You bastard, what gives you the right to be so arrogant?!" Xiao Hongchen pointed at Ling Shuang and questioned her angrily.

All he wanted to do now was punch this Holy Spirit Cult evil spirit master named Jiang Xue in the face.

Ling Shuang's disguised, devilish face remained expressionless. Facing Xiao Hongchen's questioning, he arrogantly narrowed his eyes.

Seeing the tense situation, Lin Jiayi wanted to speak up to ease the tension, but Ling Shuang's two words made him immediately abandon that idea.

"waste."

His voice was very soft, and the two words fell like feathers, but they did not linger in the ears of Xiao Hongchen and the others.

Jiang Xue Shengzi crossed his arms, his expression remaining completely calm, as if none of the people before him were worthy of causing him to have any emotional fluctuations.

"It's over!" Lin Jiayi sighed, rubbing his forehead. He knew things couldn't end so easily today.

Jiang Xuesheng's attitude made even the seasoned and worldly-wise headmaster feel an urge to take action, let alone these proud and arrogant geniuses.

Even Ma Rulong, who had previously appeared the most composed, now had a face flushed crimson.

If Ling Shuang had used a harsher tone to insult them, he might have been able to accept it.

But that nonchalant tone completely shattered his psychological defenses.

That kind of indifference, that genuine disregard, strikes the heart more directly than angry insults, and is more likely to provoke emotions.

Taking in the reactions of these people, Ling Shuang was taken aback.

Did he go too far?

Gu Yuena remained with her arms crossed, her mood as unmoved as her expression.

She felt that Ling Shuang was right; to him, these people were nothing but trash.

Unlike the aloof Silver Dragon King, Tang Ya could deeply feel the destructive power in Ling Shuang's words.

After all, before joining the Holy Spirit Cult and developing another characteristic of her martial soul, her talent was far inferior to any of the people in front of her.

Tang Ya asked herself, if she were the one being called a "good-for-nothing" in such a casual tone, she probably wouldn't be in much better shape than these people.

"Who are you calling trash?!" Xiao Hongchen suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Ling Shuang's shoulder tightly with one hand, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to tear him apart.

Although she felt in her heart that she might have gone a bit too far and felt bad for Xiao Hongchen and the others, she still had to maintain the image of Jiang Xue as the Holy Son.

"Ah."

Xiao Hongchen received no answer, only a sneer that carried the unspoken meaning of everyone else.

With a surge of soul power, Xiao Hongchen shook off Ling Shuang's hands, which were tightly gripping her shoulders.

These actions finally pushed the geniuses of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to their limits.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry," Ma Rulong said in a muffled voice.

Lin Jiayi opened his mouth to make a prediction, but ultimately didn't say anything.

Fine, at worst he'll intervene if things go too far.

As long as things don't escalate too much, even if the royal family and His Highness the Crown Prince blame them, they'll likely only receive a minor punishment and won't be overly reprimanded. Silver light flashed across the space, and several cannons gleaming with silver light were all pointed at Ling Shuang.

The deep, dark cannon holes exuded endless killing intent.

These geniuses from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are surrounded by their own soul rings.

They wanted to use their strength to show this arrogant evil spirit master's son that they were not trash!
"Make your move and fight us!"

This time, Xiao Hongchen did not arrogantly demand a one-on-one fight with Ling Shuang.

He knew that since the person in front of him was someone the Crown Prince had found to counter Ling Shuang in the future competition, he was definitely no match for her in terms of strength.

Forcing a one-on-one fight will only make you look more foolish.

The experience of being crushed by Ling Shuang in that competition made this arrogant genius lose much of his edge.

He didn't want to prove that he was stronger than Jiang Xue, the Holy Son in front of him; he only wanted to prove that at least those two words were wrong.

If he suffers a loss after being surrounded and attacked by a group of so-called "useless people," then wouldn't he, as the Holy Son, be no different from a piece of trash?

A white mist, like frost, filled the air; this was the poisonous mist of Meng Hongchen Zhu Qingbingchan.

The young lady from the mortal world also had a displeased expression on her face.

World War I?

Ling Shuang stopped and calmly surveyed the geniuses of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who were surrounding her with various soul tools.

Xiao Hongchen and the others hoped to catch even a trace of fear from this arrogant holy son.

But they were disappointed.

Jiang Xue's face remained calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever even as she was being pointed at by so many soul tools.

"Ah~"

With a soft sigh, Jiang Xue put a hand to her forehead, shook her head, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

"Actually, from beginning to end, none of you have ever been qualified to be called my opponents..."

"Alright, since the sect leader sent me here, I'll just let you have a look..."

"The thing between us..."

"A gap as wide as an insurmountable chasm!"

As he uttered his last words, an aura of boundless evil suddenly rose up.

The dark purple light streaked across the sky with lightning speed, like a line drawn across the sky.

"Bang bang bang..."

Several metallic sounds echoed in the room.

Xiao Hongchen and the others stared blankly, and the soul tools they held fell from their hands due to their weakness.

They were unharmed, but they knew very well that they had just walked on the edge of death.

Some people unconsciously touched their necks; the bone-chilling cold had not yet dissipated.

They knew very well that if the evil soul master hadn't held back, their heads would probably be separated from their bodies by now.

Looking up, the figure wielding the giant purple scythe was etched into their hearts like a nightmare.

Just like that sentence.

The gap between them is like an insurmountable chasm!
