Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Chapter 42 Fighting

"Does your hand hurt?" Ning Mumu asked, tilting her head up.

Shi Yu said, feeling wronged, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

"It doesn't hurt," Ning Mumu laughed. "Then you're fine. I want to fight!"

In the blink of an eye, Ning Mumu rushed out, her movements swift and clean, slapping each person across the face. "You bastard, spouting dirty jokes!"

Ning Mumu hadn't intended to fight; she'd already taken out some sunflower seeds, planning to watch the show. Unexpectedly, the fire had landed on her, and Ning Mumu, in high spirits, decided to start a fight.

Ning Mumu didn't hold back; the sound of her slap rang out, as crisp and clear as a song.

"ah--"

The students from Canghui Academy screamed in unison; they were unlucky today and could only take the beating.

"Stop!" A teacher from Canghui Academy finally stepped forward, pulled the students up, and said, "All of you step back. I'll handle this."

The teacher remained outwardly calm, but was inwardly utterly shocked. The students he had brought, while not geniuses, all possessed soul power above level twenty, yet they had been so easily dealt with by Ning Mumu and Shi Yu.

Moreover, neither of them had even activated their Martial Souls. The teacher was incredibly shocked. The people opposite them looked very young, but their strength was indeed not to be underestimated. If they were to grow up in the future, they would surely have a place in the Douluo Continent.

"Are you their teacher?" Ning Mumu seemed quite lucid at this moment, and her tone was normal.

"Yes, I am Ye Zhiqi, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Having lived for decades, Ye Zhi Qiu possessed a keen ability to read people. The people opposite him had impressive bearing; what if they were from a major sect? The small Canghui Academy couldn't afford to offend them.

Ning Mumu remained silent; she didn't acknowledge being from Shrek Academy, so naturally she kept quiet. Only Dai Mubai stepped forward and said, "Shrek Academy."

"Huh?" Ye Zhi Qiu was a little confused; he had never heard of this academy before. But that was fine, as long as they weren't from a major sect.

"What are you 'huh' for?" Ma Hongjun finished the last chicken leg and said arrogantly, "Don't you know our academy?"

"I don't know," Ye Zhi Qiu answered honestly.

"Ignorant and ignorant." Ma Hongjun yawned, intending to go back to sleep.

The group didn't intend to pay any more attention to the people from Canghui Academy. It was Xiao Wu who started the trouble, and it was Canghui Academy who made the lewd jokes; what did it have to do with them? They wanted to go back to sleep anyway.

"Wait!" Ye Zhi Qiu stopped them. "You attacked a student of my Canghui Academy. How are we going to settle this score?"

"No, that doesn't count," Ning Mumu said. "Shi Yu and I just called out the person who made the lewd joke, we didn't call the wrong person. If you want to find you, go find that rabbit and the Blue Silver Grass. I'm going back to sleep."

"You!" Xiao Wu was furious. She was indeed powerful, but how could she possibly defeat several people from Canghui Academy! "Ning Mumu, we're from the same academy!"

"Oh," Ning Mumu replied, "I almost forgot, sorry."

"However, you started this trouble, shouldn't you be the one to solve it?" Ning Mumu retorted.

Xiao Wu fell silent. She really hadn't expected the people from Canghui Academy to be so powerful, nor had she expected to be so disliked by her Shrek classmates.

Tang San couldn't stand still any longer. He gripped Xiao Wu's hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Ning Mumu, Shrek Academy is a unified entity." Tang San activated his moral blackmail mode. "We all share the same fate, and we all suffer together. You understand this principle, so you should fight alongside us."

"Heh," Ning Mumu chuckled, then smiled sweetly at the teacher from Canghui Academy and asked, "How do you plan to resolve this?"

"It's very simple. If you can withstand three of my moves, Canghui Academy will let bygones be bygones," Ye Zhi Qiu said, stroking his beard with a rather enigmatic air.

Canghui Academy has just lost face, and as a teacher, it would be unacceptable for him not to get revenge.

These students from Shrek Academy are indeed geniuses, but Ye Zhi Qiu is a Soul King. Can't he control a few students?

"Heh, heh heh." Ning Mumu cracked her knuckles, making a crisp sound. "Let's begin then."

"Black Tortoise, possess me!"

With one white, two yellow, and three purple hues, Ye Zhi Qiu was a genuine Soul King. At this moment, Ye Zhi Qiu had swelled considerably, his body covered in tortoise shells, radiating a dark, eerie light. People around gasped in surprise; it was the first time they had ever seen a Soul King.

It's important to know that very few people on the Douluo Continent can become Soul Masters, let alone high-level Soul Masters like Soul Kings. A commotion arose in the crowd; they seemed to already foresee the Shrek Seven Devils getting a beating.

"What's with this mere level 53 turtle yelling here?" Ning Mumu thought disdainfully, but didn't say it aloud. She turned to look at Ning Luoluo, and the obedient little sister, understanding the signal, stepped forward without making a sound.

"Shi Yu, don't disappoint me later," Ning Mumu said. "If you're too bad, I won't want you anymore."

"I understand." Shi Yu had already gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly, just waiting for Ye Zhi Qiu to make a move so he could show Ning Mu Mu his skills.

Ning Mumu only invited two people, after all, she never considered herself a student of Shrek Academy.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Alright, those who are afraid to cause trouble are mediocre. Sister Mu Mu, I'll help you!" Ma Hongjun summoned his martial spirit, "Phoenix, possess me! Let's take care of this old bastard together!"

"Shrek is one with us, I'm coming too!" Dai Mubai strode forward, his tiger-like aura instantly gaining the upper hand.

Everyone stepped forward, except for Tang San and Xiao Wu, who stepped back a little.

"Let you guys go, I'll finish them off." Tang San thought, "Anyway, you guys don't like me and Xiao Wu."

Perhaps knowing Tang San's thoughts, Ning Mumu grinned at him, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Let's begin." Ning Mumu smiled gently. "Seven Kill Sword, come!"

A sharp sword appeared instantly, and Ning Mumu's eyes turned cold. Using the ground as leverage, she leaped into the air and slashed with her sword.

Shi Yu and Ning Mumu attacked almost simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, their speed as fierce as the wind, and they rushed in front of Ye Zhi Qiu in an instant.

"You are indeed fast, but I am the Soul King!" Ye Zhi Qiu shouted, his body swelling even more, and his tortoise shell emitting a soft green light.

"Soul King?" Ning Mumu rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are?"

Her Seven Kill Sword strikes swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly; even without using soul skills, she can easily unleash its power.

"Clang—"

The Seven Kill Sword clashed against the tortoise shell, sparks flying. Ye Zhi Qiu met Ning Mu Mu's cold eyes and was momentarily afraid. Such a gaze, disregarding life, was the indifferent look of a true powerhouse.

"Clang—"

Another sound rang out, and amidst the bursts of fire, this time it was Shi Yu. The power of the Demon-Slaying Sword was only slightly less than that of the Seven Kill Sword, but it still left Ye Zhi Qiu utterly shocked.

Back to work after the holiday, *crying*
