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

Chapter 43 Strength

……

Ye Zhi Qiu had taught students with sword-wielding spirits before, but none had ever frightened him as much. Students with sword-wielding spirits possessed strong attack power and speed, but no matter what, they could never outrun their teacher. But Ning Mu Mu was different.

Ning Mumu's sword possessed a subtle yet powerful quality, appearing light and agile, yet exceptionally difficult to strike, leaving one defenseless upon contact. Even Ye Zhi Qiu had to expend considerable soul power to avoid injury.

Shi Yu's sword carried a devastating force, causing Ye Zhi Qiu's tortoise shell to tremble slightly.

"You're strong," Ye Zhi Qiu said seriously, shaking off the two. "So what? The difference in skill level between Soul Masters is too great. You can't beat me. Give up!"

Ning Mumu ignored him, turned her head, and used her sword to lift Ning Luoluo. "Luoluo, go!"

Having undergone marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening, Ning Luoluo is no ordinary agility-type Soul Master. Not only is she as fast as lightning, but her strength is also formidable. Her current strength has reached a terrifying level.

"Snap—"

The cat's paw struck the tortoise shell, and a subtle crack appeared on the shell! Ye Zhi Qiu was greatly shocked. What kind of people were these? This was too outrageous! How did I encounter so many monsters today?! No, I can't lose! If I lose, what will become of Canghui Academy's reputation?

Thinking this, Ye Zhi Qiu exerted his strength again, the tortoise shell trembling and swelling up instantly. "You forced me to do this."

Ye Zhi Qiu had originally thought that revealing his Soul King strength would stop the kids from coming at him. With his Soul Master level, using his Soul Skills would just be bullying children, wouldn't it? But these students actually managed to force him to use his Soul Skills; they were truly formidable. Oh well, he'd just consider it bullying them.

"First Soul Skill, Tortoise Shell Wave!" The white soul ring lit up, and green light overflowed from the tortoise shell, rippling like waves in water. Soul power also fluctuated accordingly, and the power from a Soul King-level expert instantly stunned everyone present.

"Sister," Ning Luoluo stepped back, slightly blocking Ning Mumu from view, "he used a soul skill."

Ning Mumu nodded, yawned, and said with a hint of disdain, "Heh, clown."

Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. Ye Zhi Qiu, in particular, was furious. How dare a mere junior speak so arrogantly?

"Young man, you have quite the courage." Ye Zhi Qiu still felt it was beneath him to bully the younger one, so he said, "How about this, you apologize to me, and we'll call it even today, okay?"

"Not so good," Ning Mumu replied.

What a joke! The words "fleeing before the battle" don't exist in Ning Mumu's dictionary. She could kill evil soul masters when she was nine, and over the years she's defeated countless opponents, many stronger than Ye Zhi Qiu. A mere Soul King? She could cleave him in two with a single sword strike.

However, she couldn't just cleave everything in one slash today; she had to play the pitiful level 30-something. Ning Mumu smiled, realizing she needed to drop the pretense sooner rather than later; playing dumb to outsmart others wasn't her style.

"You!" Ye Zhi Qiu shook his head. "Ignorant brat, you'll regret this!"

"You talk too much nonsense." Ning Mumu picked at her ear, and to everyone's surprise, she made the first move.

The girl moved with lightning speed, the Seven Kill Sword sparking and sizzling as it scraped against the ground. Her steps were as light as the softest silk.

"Shi Yu, keep up!" Ning Mumu had been preparing for a long time. To be precise, she had wanted to fight for a long time. Sure enough, the Seven Kill Sword was humming with excitement.

"Luo Luo!"

All three were extremely fast, attacking Ye Zhi Qiu from different directions.

"Ignorant." Ye Zhi Qiu uttered two words. What a child! Doesn't he know that the Soul King is not someone they can mess with?

His primary soul skill was defensive; these kids were only level 20 or 30, how could they possibly break through his tortoise shell? Ye Zhi Qiu thought confidently, and he even stood there, not moving an inch.

"Clang—"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The tortoise shell trembled, and Ye Zhi Qiu's body swayed. On the surface, he seemed unchanged, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

How...how is this possible?! Ye Zhi Qiu took a step back, seemingly not expecting that his defenses had been breached. Disbelief filled his eyes, and he swayed unsteadily.

I took a short break to use my phone, so this is just a short post. Please don't mind it!

Love you all!

thanks for your support!
