Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 202 How come I'm still level 29 after all these years?
The second ring after a thousand years, the fourth ring after ten thousand years—it's actually true.

Yu Xiaogang stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the three people's spirit rings.

Without using any soul skills or disguise, it truly is a second ring of a thousand years and a fourth ring of ten thousand years.

"Flander, Wuji, capture them and find out the secret of the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year era. Then we can also have the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year era."

Yu Xiaogang hardened his heart and said ruthlessly.

Flander had initially thought that taking action might be a bit like bullying the weak, but after hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, he immediately became interested.

Shrek and his friends were overjoyed. It's the fourth ring in a million years!
This is a big secret.

Yu Xiaogang would certainly not let this opportunity pass. If he found out about it and revealed the secret, he would become famous throughout the mainland, and then no one would look down on him.

His own apprentice would also obtain the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years, further enhancing his strength. Just thinking about it made him feel good.

Zhao Wuji and Flander exchanged a glance, and a wind blade and a circle of light slammed towards the three of them.

In an instant, a hand gently pinched the two soul skills, and then with a slight force, the two soul skills shattered instantly.

"hehe."

"You guys really enjoy bullying the weak, don't you?"

Unfortunately, I like it very much too.

A chilling voice, as if from the abyss, entered the ears of everyone present.

Xu Xin's tall figure blocked Huo Wu and the other two's path. He waved his hand and looked coldly at the group in front of him.

As the smoke cleared, Xu Xin came into view. When Ning Rongrong saw his face, she was immediately terrified, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The next moment, Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she fainted.

Xiao Wu looked at the person in front of her and felt like she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where. She just stared at him.

"You...it's you, it's actually you."

Yu Xiaogang clenched her fists tightly, staring intently at Xu Xin in front of her. Scenes from that year seemed to reappear before her eyes, and all those unbearable memories surged up all at once.

"Hey, isn't this Gangzi? It's been years, how come you're still in level 29?"

"It's been so many years, how come you're still such a good-for-nothing?"

Xu Xin immediately struck up a conversation, saying that he and Yu Xiaogang were "good friends" who hadn't seen each other for many years.

They had known each other for so many years, and when they met again, the other person was still in the class of '29.

How can someone be so useless?

Level 29, Level 29...

This was imprinted in Yu Xiaogang's mind like a curse.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth, said nothing, and just stared at Xu Xin.

Flander immediately recognized Xu Xin; wasn't this the same Xu Xin they had encountered when the three of them were adventuring together?

After several years, the other party shouldn't be that strong anymore.

I'm still a Soul Saint, so my opponent shouldn't be that much stronger.

Each of them was lost in their own thoughts when, at the next moment, Xu Xin spoke:

"Heh, Flander, Zhao Wuji, Shrek, you guys seem to really enjoy bullying the weak?"

Xu Xin coldly looked at the group, cracked his neck, and in the next instant, Xu Xin appeared in front of Flander.

"hehe!"

With a faint smile, Xu Xin's seemingly harmless face broke into a grin. Flander's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!!"

A scream echoed through the area, and blood began to drip, drop by drop…

The next moment, Xu Xin reappeared in front of Zhao Wuji: "You too."

Rip! Zhao Wuji's arm was torn off by Xu Xin, and like Flander, blood kept flowing out.

"You were the one who just said there was a way to die?"

Xu Xin's gaze fell on Toad Tang San.

The entire scene was completely silent. Xu Xin didn't even use his martial spirit; he simply tore off both arms. It could only be described as cruel.

"You stop!"

Yu Xiaogang stood in front of Toad Tang San, swallowed subconsciously, and looked at Xu Xin with a trembling expression.

Tang San was deeply moved. His teacher was still willing to protect him at this moment, even when facing a very strong opponent.

"Heh, Gangzi, who do you think you are?"

Snapped!
Xu Xin slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face, sending him flying. The tree behind him instantly shattered. Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xu Xin.

He passed out without saying a word, and it's unclear whether he died or not.

Despite the excruciating pain in his arm, Flander flew to Yu Xiaogang's side and checked his breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Yu Xiaogang was still alive.

Tang San, the toad, glanced nervously at Yu Xiaogang, then looked tremblingly at Xu Xin in front of him.

"Toad, tell me, what reason do you have for me to let you go?"

Xu Xin spoke jokingly, raised his hand and pointed, a burst of soul power shot out, piercing through Tang San's brow and instantly shattering the big tree behind him. Dai Mubai and the other three were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fainted.

Tang San, the toad, gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling. He was so close to dying here.

"Your Majesty..."

"Please spare my student."

Flander pressed one hand against his severed arm and respectfully addressed Xu Xin.

"Heh, let them go. Weren't you all very arrogant just now? Weren't you trying to capture my disciples?"

"I'm already being lenient by not taking your life because we've met before."

"Now, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"

Xu Xin spoke calmly, without even glancing at Flander.

Flander's face was grim. This time, he was really going to fail. Looking up at the sky, Flander's face was full of helplessness. Maybe he shouldn't have come this time.

Flander looked at Xu Xin with resentment: "Your Majesty, if you want to kill them, kill me first."

"However, Your Majesty should think carefully. One of them is from the Zhu family of Xingluo, another is a prince of Xingluo, another is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the third is from the Haotian School!"

Flander gritted his teeth and spoke, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Xu Xin sneered: "You wake that young lady up, and you'll see if she dares to offend me."

"Heh, you dare threaten me? Flander, Flander, you haven't improved at all in all this time."

"Since you've already brought it up, I'll give you a chance to see who you're willing to offend."

Xu Xin glanced around jokingly. He hadn't originally planned to go through all this trouble, but since the other party had brought it up, he felt he would be letting Flander down if he didn't do something.

"I can let you choose one person to live. You choose."

"I mean what I say. If you choose him, I guarantee he will live."

Xu Xin looked at Flander with a grin, his face completely harmless.

Seeing him like this, Flanders took a few steps back in fear, his heart trembling uncontrollably. This man is truly ruthless and vicious.

No matter what choice he makes, the forces behind these people will not let him go; he will die no matter what.

If he makes that choice, everyone else will feel disheartened, and how can they remain a team? Everyone will harbor resentment towards him, and his Shrek Academy will be completely ruined.
