Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest...

Zhang Lexuan led her team to this area, but instead of going in immediately, she stopped and said to the inner court students behind her, "You should rest for a while. Once we enter the Star Dou Great Forest, we won't have as much time to rest."

Although the life and death of everyone in the team, except for her best friend and Mo Yan, were none of her concern, as the senior sister, she was still responsible for ensuring the safety of this group; but if anyone disobeyed, she would have no choice but to leave them to be fed to the soul beasts.

She is no longer the gentle senior sister who was to everyone.

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, the people in the team immediately began to rest and adjust their condition, and some even took out food to replenish their energy.

They knew in their hearts that the journey ahead would not be as easy as the one on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Mo Yan and Dugu Luo found a place to sit down. Dugu Luo took out several portions of food that had been prepared in advance the night before and handed them to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan took a bite of the food and had to admit that A Luo's cooking skills were truly excellent.

Suddenly, an uninvited guest broke the tranquility.

A male student from the inner courtyard approached Mo Yan, his voice tinged with excitement: "Senior Mo Yan, I admire you so much, you know that?"

"roll!"

Mo Yan didn't even lift her eyelids, continuing to eat the food in her hand, only coldly uttering a single word, hoping that this person would be sensible and not bother her.

But some people just don't have a brain.

The boy had no intention of giving up. He had finally met this genius girl with the ultimate fire attribute and had finally mustered the courage to talk to her. How could he back down just because she said "get lost"?
Everyone present watched quietly, and many of the boys observed intently.

Like that boy, they participated in this Soul Hunting Operation not to train themselves or to hunt for Soul Rings, but purely to get close to Mo Yan, the ultimate fire genius.

While they entered the inner courtyard partly to experience Shrek Academy's millennia-long glory, their primary motivation was to secure greater benefits for their families. Winning over Mo Yan was a crucial step in this process.

However, such people are ultimately a minority. Most students who enter the inner academy have long since abandoned the shackles of family interests and are single-mindedly pursuing Shrek Academy's so-called eternal glory.

In contrast, this group of scheming people seemed like the 'normal people' in the inner courtyard.

In the distance, Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan stood together, quietly watching this side.

Han Ruoruo couldn't help but ask her best friend beside her, "Le Xuan, aren't you going to stop it?"

"If he dies, it's his own fault, and I don't need to interfere."

"!!!" Han Ruoruo looked at Zhang Lexuan in shock. She never expected that her best friend would say such a thing. "Lexuan, you have really changed."

Hearing her best friend's words, Zhang Lexuan remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Once you've experienced despair, you'll understand what I'm like now."

"What exactly happened back then? Can you tell me?"

Han Ruoruo was filled with worry. She desperately wanted to know what had happened to her best friend to cause her to become like this.

Zhang Lexuan's calm gaze fell on Han Ruoruo's face, and after a moment, it turned back to Mo Yan and the others.

She still can't know about this, unless... unless Ruoruo can also dedicate everything to Acheng like I have!

Seeing her best friend putting on this aloof and unapproachable act again, Han Ruoruo felt a wave of weariness wash over her.

She had only been on vacation when she returned to the college to find out that her best friend had gone missing. When her friend came back, she felt that her friend's personality had both changed and remained the same; beneath the familiar features lay a strange indifference.

On the other side, Dugu Luo saw that the boy was still pestering her. She wanted to stand up and drive away this rude person who was disturbing her and Lord Mo Yan's meal, but Mo Yan raised his hand to stop her.

Mo Yan slowly turned her head to look at the boy in front of her. Perhaps sensing Mo Yan's gaze, the boy confidently revealed a smile, even thinking that he looked particularly handsome at that moment.

While one may not be bound by trivialities, one should still be mindful of the occasion and act with propriety.

The guy in front of me is clearly the type who is both impolite and lacks tact.

To deal with this kind of person, you have to be ruthless so that he will truly learn his lesson.

"Student, have you ever felt the temperature of a flame?"

"what?"

The boy looked puzzled, but Mo Yan offered no further explanation. A terrifying flame instantly erupted from his body, engulfing him entirely.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The boy was stunned for a second, then let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The flames spread wildly across his body like a parasite finding a host; even when he frantically jumped into a nearby stream, he couldn't extinguish the eerie flames.

Even more terrifying, the originally cool river instantly turned into scalding hot water, and the small fish in the river were even scalded and floated on the surface.

Upon seeing this, some students near the river quickly retreated, as the intense heat emanating from the river was unbearable for them.

Those boys who originally wanted to get closer to Mo Yan couldn't help but swallow hard when they saw their companions engulfed in flames in the river, unable to escape.

They never expected Mo Yan to be so ruthless; judging by this, if no one stops this ringleader, he probably won't survive the day.

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but look in Zhang Lexuan's direction, hoping that the senior sister could intervene.

But Zhang Lexuan chose to ignore it. She sat to the side flipping through books, as if she hadn't heard the shrill screams or seen the terrible scene in the river.

Seeing this, Han Ruoruo instinctively wanted to rush up to stop them, but Zhang Lexuan grabbed her arm.

"Ruo Ruo, for the sake of our best friend relationship, you'd better just stand here and watch, and don't interfere."

"Otherwise, you might not have made it through today either."

Mo Yan is just a bit lazy, not that he has a good temper.

If you mistake her laziness for good temper, you'll pay a heavy price.

As for whether the boy lives or dies, that depends on whether that slovenly old man can get there in time.

Han Ruoruo looked at Zhang Lexuan in disbelief: "Lexuan, do you know what you're saying?"

“I know very well.” Zhang Lexuan raised her head and met Han Ruoruo’s shocked eyes. “But all of this is his own doing.”

Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the students around her.

Everyone understood that this senior sister would not intervene at all.

At this moment, their shock was probably even stronger than Han Ruoruo's: they had always heard that Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan of Shrek Inner Court was gentle and fair, but what they saw before them was a completely different person.

Han Ruoruo opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

She knew that her best friend might be genuinely thinking of her, but she simply couldn't understand what could have turned her once gentle friend into such a cold person.

On the other side, Mo Yan was playing with the flames dancing on his fingertips.

She originally thought that as long as these people didn't bother her, she wouldn't bother to do anything, since there would always be soul beasts to deal with them.

Unexpectedly, someone had to be the one to stick their neck out, so she had no choice but to use fire to warn everyone.

Just as Zhang Lexuan thought, Mo Yan was lazy about most things, but that did not mean she had a good temper.

If you really mess with her, the consequences are not something anyone can bear.

The boy was lucky; the flame suddenly went out.

Dugu Luo looked at Lord Mo Yan with some confusion in his eyes.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Lord Mo Yan have just burned the other party to ashes?

Mo Yan extinguished his flames and his gaze fell on the person in the river who had been burned to a crisp.

Seeing that he was barely breathing and looked half-dead, Mo Yan said, "I am a relatively kind person."

Everyone:…
