Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

The group left quickly, without lingering in the arena. When they won, the audience was already buzzing with excitement. If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to leave later.

The second gathering was held at the same location, a small restaurant near Shrek Academy, but there were even more people. Several teachers who had helped train the little monsters in the past two days had come over. Upon hearing that Shrek Academy had won again, they were all very happy, as if they had done something extremely meaningful.

Seeing the expressions on the teachers' faces, Chen Luo knew that Flander had brainwashed them again.

During the dinner, Chen Luo enjoyed the joyful atmosphere while thinking about the future development of the qualifiers.

"I reckon if Shrek Academy wins a few more matches, Shi Nian from Canghui Academy will be targeting them... We must protect the safety of every student during this period and completely prevent them from returning to the academy alone, especially Tang San."

Knowing the plot development, Chen Luo still had a deep impression of the scene where Tang San fought Shi Nian one-on-one. The cheat king lived up to his name. He was able to kill a Soul Saint despite his Soul Master strength. It was really abnormal.

Since they knew Tang San would face danger, they should try their best to avoid such a situation. Shi Nian was just a Soul Saint, and there was no need for Flander and the others to take action. Chen Luo felt that he could easily beat Shi Nian to a pulp.

In other words, since Shi Nian hasn't shown any murderous intent at the moment, it's impossible that he suspected Shi Nian was about to harm his student and went to kill him beforehand.

If Shi Nian were to truly become wicked and reckless, Chen Luo would eliminate him without mercy.

Chapter 174 The Soul Bones Have Arrived

Day 8 of the qualifiers.

Rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Grand Battle Arena.

"Our opponents today might just forfeit. They've only won two matches, they have no chance against us, and might even get seriously injured. It's not worth it," Dai Mubai said with a grin as he stretched his body.

Oscar said, "If they really forfeit, then we can have a good rest today and go watch the other colleges' matches."

"Rest? Haven't you been resting all along?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes.

Oscar shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. The capable should do more. You guys are so good that we don't even get a chance to play."

"Isn't that right, Fatty?"

Ma Hongjun was dozing off in his chair when Oscar suddenly patted him, startling him awake: "What's wrong? Is it our turn to go on stage?"

Ma Hongjun's actions were so comical that they drew laughter from everyone.

Knowing that Oscar was behind it, Ma Hongjun gave him a resentful look, then stopped sleeping, yawned, looked around, and asked, "Where are the masters and the others?"

Tang San said, "They went to watch the matches of other academies."

"The Five Elements Academy?" Ma Hongjun asked in surprise.

Tang San nodded: "Yes, the Five Elements Academy are all strong opponents on our qualifying route. Even if we defeat Elephant Armor Academy, there are still four left."

……

Spectator stands.

Flander walked to Chen Luo's side and said with a smile, "Othello Academy has forfeited."

Chen Luo nodded slightly, not surprised at all; everything was within his expectations.

Liu Erlong said, "That's good, the little monsters can have a good rest for a day."

Chen Luo said, "Well, let them arrange their time freely today. Those who want to continue watching the game can stay, and those who don't want to can choose to go back."

Flanders said, "I'll go and tell them the good news."

Chen Luo said, "I'll go."

After saying that, Chen Luo went to the rest area and briefly explained the situation, which immediately made the little monsters cheer.

However, they did not show excessive excitement. After all, they were not facing any formidable opponents, and even if the other side chose to fight, victory would surely belong to Shrek.

They were truly happy when Chen Luo told them they were free to arrange their own time.

However, they all chose to watch the match at the Arena, and how long they watched depended on their individual patience.

Chen Luo had paid special attention to Tang San's movements, and if he remembered correctly, Tang San had encountered a crisis today.

After watching only one or two matches, the little monsters gradually returned to the academy, all in groups of three or five, with Tang San walking at the very back.

Seeing this situation, Chen Luo was certain that Tang San would be in trouble.

So when Tang San left, Chen Luo only waited a moment before following him.

And as soon as he left the Soul Arena, Chen Luo immediately activated his Divine Dragon Eye.

To test his suspicions and see if Shi Nian would make a move, Chen Luo naturally wouldn't choose to go with Tang San, but instead quietly kept a certain distance from him.

It's still morning, but the weather isn't very good today. It's gloomy and gives off a very depressing feeling.

Chen Luo followed Tang San for a while, and nothing strange happened.

Just as Tang San was about to embark on the road back to the academy, he suddenly turned and headed towards another road, the one leading outside Heaven Dou City.

Upon seeing this, Chen Luo immediately knew that Shi Nian had made his move.

With the Eye of the Divine Dragon, Chen Luo can see through all illusions, so he will not be affected by Shi Nian's illusions.

Under Chen Luo's watchful gaze, Shi Nian's figure indeed appeared, maintaining a certain distance from Tang San. Extremely subtle fluctuations of soul power could be felt around him, which would be impossible to detect without careful investigation.

"They're really courting death! How dare they attack my disciple?"

Chen Luo silently followed behind, and soon he arrived with Shi Nian and Tang San in a desolate wilderness outside Tian Dou City.

Tang San finally discovered the heresy and activated his martial soul.

Shi Nian's figure then appeared quietly, but this old guy was much more ruthless than described in the book. He didn't waste any words and started attacking as soon as he appeared.

Upon seeing this, Tang San's face immediately showed panic, and he almost instinctively used the Blue Silver Grass to provide himself with defense.

According to the plot of the book, Shi Nian would have to praise Tang San a few times before taking action, but Shi Nian in front of him is very particular about efficiency.

"You're not going to follow the script, are you?"

Chen Luo had long been prepared for battle, while Golden Luo Sanpao had been in Dragon Concealment form, staying by Tang San's side, waiting for Shi Nian to appear.

Almost as soon as Shi Nian's claws reached for Tang San, Golden Luo Sanpao appeared silently, pounced on Shi Nian, knocked him to the ground, and his sharp claws sank deep into Shi Nian's body.

Chen Luo, his body crackling with lightning, arrived at Tang San's side at lightning speed, grabbed Tang San, and dashed away into the distance.

The next second, Golden Luo Sanpao's massive body erupted with golden lightning, instantly engulfing Shi Nian.

"what……"

The terrifying lightning unleashed upon Shi Nian's body, which was far beyond what his physique could withstand. Shi Nian lost his fighting ability amidst painful roars.

Chen Luo, who had brought Tang San to a safe position, glanced at Shi Nian, who had lost his fighting ability, and frowned slightly. His Divine Dragon Eye had already seen some clues and caught a faint movement. He acted decisively, pushing his left hand to the side. His arm was instantly covered by black scales, followed by a burst of golden lightning.

"boom!!!"

A figure emerged in response; it was Shi Nian, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack.

After Shi Nian was repelled, Golden Luo Sanpao immediately rushed forward. At the same time, Chen Luo's sixth spirit ring lit up, and golden lightning connected him with Golden Luo Sanpao, restricting Shi Nian within it and instantly forming a lightning barrier.

Shi Nian looked terrified and tried to break out of the barrier, but as soon as he came into contact with the golden lightning, he was immediately repelled and his body was charred black.

Shi Nian wanted to use his Martial Soul True Body and his Soul Bone Skills, but at that moment, he forgot everything.

"Heavenly Thunder Shatters the Sky!"

The moment the lightning barrier formed, Chen Luo's sixth spirit ring lit up again, and Golden Luo Sanpao opened his mouth wide, condensing a golden lightning energy ball and blasting it out.

Shi Nian was terrified and had no time to react. He didn't even have time to beg for mercy before Chen Luo gave him no chance.

Chen Luo has always been like this: in real battles, he either doesn't make a move, or once he does, he doesn't give the enemy any chance to struggle.

Shi Nian is, after all, a Soul Saint. Even a relatively weak Soul Saint should be taken seriously. If he can kill him in one go, why bother with any hesitation?

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, even though Chen Luo deliberately controlled the power of the Heavenly Thunder Strike, it still nearly leveled the entire forest.

Shi Nian's figure had disappeared, leaving only a round bone, about three inches in diameter, shimmering with a faint seven-colored light. It looked like a miniature skull, and it was the Soul Bone!

Chen Luo quickly stepped forward, picked up the soul bone, and then left with Tang San.

Chapter 175 Lost the bet?

"Are you okay?"

Chen Luo stopped after leading Tang San into Heaven Dou City and asked with concern.

Tang San shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, thank you for saving me, teacher!"

Tang San still feels a bit scared when he thinks about it now. If his teacher hadn't appeared, he would probably be dead at the hands of that old dog today.

A Soul Saint actually resorted to sneak attacks, and when he did, he went straight for the kill. How insidious and ruthless!

Chen Luo said, "Our Shrek Academy has won a lot of victories recently, so we're bound to be targeted by people from other academies. I was worried that something might happen to you if you went back alone, so I followed you. I didn't expect that someone would actually be watching you and following you. I didn't expect that Nian would actually dare to make a move!"

As he spoke, Chen Luo lowered his voice and said, "Let's go back to the academy first. I have something good for you."

Tang San nodded and quickened his pace with Chen Luo. Before long, they returned to Shrek Academy and went to the woods behind the academy.

Chen Luo took out the soul bone he had obtained from Shi Nian: "Here, take this soul bone. It's a spirit-type soul bone. You may not need it, but you can keep it to exchange for other suitable soul bones in the future."

Tang San's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the soul bone in Chen Luo's hand. No soul master could resist the temptation of a soul bone.

Tang San instinctively reached out to grab it, but immediately withdrew his hand mid-air.

"Teacher, you should keep it," Tang San said firmly.

"Ok?"

Chen Luo had originally planned to use this soul bone to gamble on a reward for taking on a disciple, but unexpectedly, Tang San chose not to accept it.

Tang San said, "Teacher, you said it yourself, this is a spirit-type soul bone, so it should be more suitable for support-type soul masters and illusion-type soul masters like Shi Nian, right?"

"Even if it's about exchanging one soul bone for another, it should be you, teacher, who chooses a soul bone that suits you. You really don't need to give me all the good things; you have to think about yourself too. Soul bones are so precious..."

Chen Luo knew that giving away a soul bone would seem a bit abrupt, but he didn't expect Tang San to give such a response. It seems that he hadn't raised this disciple in vain.

However, I still have to give away the soul bone, and I still have to be a gambler. It's been a long time since I've been a gambler.

Chen Luo said, "Then what about the hidden weapons and immortal herbs you gave me? These are my tokens of appreciation, please accept them!"

Tang San glanced at the soul bone, his eyes still resolute: "Teacher, you should keep it! You can give this soul bone to Rongrong; it's more suitable for her. I reckon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also offer a corresponding soul bone in return!"

Chen Luo laughed: "Silly boy, you're the one who's more suitable! Hurry up and accept it!"

Tang San: "Teacher, you..."
