Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 67: A Challenge to Xu Sanshi – Let's Take Him Down Together
Since what happened last time.

Xu Sanshi had already sought help from his family and found two Soul King level experts to target Ye Chen!
It wasn't that he didn't want to find a Soul Emperor, but rather that Soul Emperors were extremely rare, and each one held a high position within the Xuanming Sect.

Although he could persuade them to come, he couldn't allow them to stay in the city for an extended period of time.

He didn't know when Ye Chen would leave the city, so these two Soul Kings would need to wait in the city for a long time before they could find an opportunity to kill Ye Chen when he left!

Only his status as the young master of the Xuanming Sect allowed him to afford to hire two Soul Kings for an extended period of time.

If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't have that ability.

"That damned bastard, he's trying to fool my Jiang Nannan again! Don't let me get a chance!"

Xu Sanshi thought to himself.

However, despite thinking this way, he was quite interested in the Tang Clan.

Bei Bei is a member of the Tang Clan. He suffered a lot of losses because of the Tang Clan's secret techniques, and was defeated by Bei Bei many times because of these techniques.

Although he was a bit far away and couldn't hear the details of the conversation clearly, he could guess that Tang Ya and Ye Chen had persuaded Jiang Nannan to join the Tang Clan.

"No, I want to join the Tang Clan too. That way, I might be able to get closer to Jiang Nannan!"

After all, the relationship between junior brothers and senior sisters is naturally closer than that between classmates.

The cohesion of a sect is much stronger than that of an academy.

After graduating from college, many people went back to their respective homes.

However, once their sect training ends, they either continue their secluded cultivation or enter the sect's affiliated industries to serve the sect for the rest of their lives.

The bond between senior and junior students is often deeper than that between classmates.

Upon thinking of this, Xu Sanshi couldn't wait any longer and immediately chased after them.

While chasing after them, she called out, "Nannan, where are you going? Wait for me!!"

Jiang Nannan was originally looking forward to having dinner with Ye Chen and was in a great mood.

But when she heard that familiar, haunting voice, her face suddenly darkened.

Turning her head, she indeed saw that face that she found utterly repulsive.

"Oh, Xu Sanshi, it's you again." Tang Ya showed no surprise at seeing Xu Sanshi.

After all, Jiang Nannan is Xu Sanshi's trap. Wherever Jiang Nannan is, Xu Sanshi will basically be there too.

Sometimes, if you can't find Xu Sanshi, going to Jiang Nannan is just as good. As long as you find Jiang Nannan, you might see Xu Sanshi trying to attract her attention with all sorts of tricks after a short wait...

This is practically becoming a theorem of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.

"Tang Ya, I heard what you just said. Since Nan Nan can join the Tang Clan, can I join the Tang Clan too?"

"With my strength, joining the Tang Sect will definitely allow me to contribute to its development!"

Xu Sanshi got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

The Tang Clan is quite good, especially their secret techniques, which are extremely powerful.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Nannan joined the Tang Sect, and he must join as well, so that he can get closer to Jiang Nannan.

He still had a good impression of the Tang Clan.

He simply hated Ye Chen.

Because Ye Chen touched his woman!

He swore he would kill Ye Chen!

"Oh, that's great, we..."

Just as Tang Ya was about to agree, Ye Chen interrupted her, saying, "I'm sorry, the Tang Sect will not accept male disciples in the future, and your strength is a bit weak. The Tang Sect will not accept disciples like you."

What a joke! Ye Chen has already made the Tang Sect his own faction. Bei Bei is gone, and Ye Chen plans to get rid of Huo Yuhao as well. How could he possibly let other men join him?

"Boy, what do you mean! Tang Ya is the leader of the Tang Clan, what right do you have to interrupt?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Xu Sanshi's expression immediately darkened.

Although he knew that Ye Chen was the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, Tang Ya was the sect leader. Such an important matter would definitely be decided by Tang Ya. What right did Ye Chen have to speak?
"I mean, you're too useless. You don't deserve to join the Tang Clan. Your bloodline hasn't even awakened. You're just a half-crippled turtle. What else can you be but trash?" Ye Chen sneered.

Based on his memories of the Valley of Love and Destiny from the original novel, Xu Sanshi was not yet 15 years old at this time and had not undergone the awakening of coming-of-age ceremony.

During the month that the semester was supposed to end, Jiang Nannan returned home to find that her mother was seriously ill. Then, she was tricked by the Xuanming Sect and forced to offer herself to Xu Sanshi.

Ye Chen would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.

"You...you said I'm a piece of trash...???" Xu Sanshi's voice trembled with anger.

Before Xu Sanshi could react, Ye Chen spoke first: "I'm going to duel with Bei Bei tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll win too easily. How about this, you and Bei Bei come at me together, and I'll take care of you both at the same time."

"Only if you defeat me will I consider letting you join the Tang Clan."

Because Ye Chen was standing on the steps, and because he was already quite tall, he was about two heads taller than Xu Sanshi.

He looked down at Xu Sanshi with disdain and contempt, as if he were looking at an ant.

Ye Chen sensed a very faint killing intent in Xu Sanshi's eyes, so he didn't tolerate it.

He can't kill Xu Sanshi quietly right now, so he'll go all out tomorrow.

Hitting Beibei might upset Moon.

Ye Chen had no qualms about attacking Xu Sanshi; no matter how strong the Xuanming Sect was, it couldn't threaten Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he didn't give Xu Sanshi a chance to react or refute, and turned around and left.

"Sister Xiaoya, Sister Nannan, let's go. Eating is important; we can't let this waste of time ruin our mood."

Ye Chen said lightly.

"Hmm~"

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly, then followed Ye Chen without glancing at Xu Sanshi again.

Ye Chen treats her so well, of course she's on Ye Chen's side.

Moreover, she naturally wholeheartedly agreed with Ye Chen's rejection of Xu Sanshi.

She didn't want Xu Sanshi to get entangled with her in the first place. If Xu Sanshi also joined the Tang Clan, she feared she would never have a peaceful day again.

“Xu Sanshi, don’t look at me like that. I have no choice either. All matters of the Tang Clan are left to Ye Chen to decide. Of course, Ye Chen said that if you have the ability, you can defeat him tomorrow. If you can’t even beat Ye Chen… well, then you are indeed very useless.”

Tang Ya looked at Xu Sanshi, shrugged helplessly, and then turned and left.

Although she didn't know why Ye Chen didn't want Xu Sanshi to join, she had absolute trust in Ye Chen.

After all, her hopes for revenge and the rise of the Tang Clan all rested on Ye Chen.

She did whatever Ye Chen said.

"Good, good, very good!! So what if you're a level 41 Soul Master? What's with the arrogance? If you can break through my defense tomorrow, I'll kneel down and call you dad!"

Xu Sanshi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily. He could no longer hide the killing intent in his eyes!
This was the first time he had ever been belittled like this, especially in front of Jiang Nannan.

If he weren't afraid of the academy's rules, he would have challenged the other party to a duel right now!

Since it's a duel, there will naturally be injuries and disabilities.

Although he was only at level 38 peak, he had a record of defeating a Soul Master who was a level above him.

For a prodigy like him, challenging opponents of higher levels is just basic stuff.

He admitted that Ye Chen was very strong, but Ye Chen was too young and definitely didn't have much combat experience.

He's challenged to a fight tomorrow, and he's determined to beat Ye Chen so badly he can't get up in front of Jiang Nannan!
As for being with Beibei.

That is of course impossible.

He has his own pride.

However, why would Ye Chen challenge Bei Bei to a duel? Aren't they both members of the Tang Sect?

Xu Sanshi scratched his head, clearly unable to figure it out.

It couldn't possibly be because Ye Chen stole Tang Ya, could it?

Forget it, I'll just ask Beibei tomorrow.

PS: In order to whitewash Xu Sanshi, the author of the original novel forcibly changed his age to 15 years old for his coming-of-age ceremony in the section about Wenqing Valley.

In the original novel, it is clearly stated that Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan were all under 15 years old when Huo Yuhao enrolled in school.

This book follows the later timeline, which is a secondary setting, but it won't deviate too much.

[According to the earlier parts of the original novel, the two should have had that kind of thing when they were around 7, 8, or 9 years old. The original author changed it to avoid criticism.]
