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

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's gazes fell on Tang San. Seeing that Tang San was calm and even had the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, they immediately knew the outcome of the upcoming battle.

"Sanpao, go to the back."

Chen Luo gave the order.

Luo Sanpao looked back, seemingly puzzled, but immediately complied. Under Chen Luo's command, he eventually retreated to the edge of the Soul Arena.

Chen Luo's gaze returned to Dai Mubai: "Let's begin!"

Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay!"

Seeing Dai Mubai's expression, Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really don't need to worry about my strength. Just go all out."

Dai Mubai nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Before he finished speaking, Dai Mubai rushed towards Chen Luo. Although he hadn't completely transformed into a tiger, he already possessed the aura of one.

As Dai Mubai advanced, his first and third spirit rings lit up one after the other. A white light shield first formed around his body, and his aura was boosted once again. Then, his muscles swelled, and black horizontal lines appeared on his skin, further enhancing his aura.

Dai Mubai instantly closed the distance of more than ten meters and swung his thick tiger paw toward Chen Luo.

Chen Luo simply took a step back and easily dodged Dai Mubai's attack.

At this moment, Chen Luo's eyes were covered by a golden light, and the Eyes of the Divine Dragon had been activated.

Indeed, Golden Luo Sanpao was Chen Luo's main combat force, but as Chen Luo's strength improved, his own combat power was also not bad. With a strong body as the foundation, plus the Divine Dragon Eye and external soul bone lightning scales, he could easily deal with Dai Mubai, who was only at the Soul Master level, even if he was not fighting a very strong opponent.

"Zizzizi..."

As Chen Luo dodged Dai Mubai's attack, a crackling sound rang out. Immediately afterward, Chen Luo swung his left fist at Dai Mubai's shoulder. As the fist swung, golden lightning formed, and Chen Luo's left sleeve was completely destroyed, revealing black scales that shone with golden light.

"boom!!"

With a deafening, muffled thud, Dai Mubai was blasted away. The speed and style of his charge towards Chen Luo were matched by how sloppy he looked when he was blasted away. He crashed heavily to the ground and slid for four or five meters.

Chen Luo certainly has the power to control his strength; otherwise, with his current burst of power, he could cripple Dai Mubai with a single punch.

After Dai Mubai steadied himself, he looked at Chen Luo with shock in his eyes. However, he adjusted himself quickly and charged at Chen Luo again after only a moment.

However, a few breaths later, Dai Mubai was blasted away by Chen Luo again.

Dai Mubai tried several more times, but with the same result each time.

Everyone in the spectator stands, except for Tang San, was stunned, especially Ma Hongjun, who kept swallowing and had beads of sweat on his forehead.

Chen Luo maintained a faint smile throughout. He never made any large movements, and even when he threw a punch, it looked like he wasn't using much force, yet he was still able to easily send Dai Mubai flying.

With the Dragon's Eye, no matter how fast Dai Mubai bursts forth, he will appear in Chen Luo's field of vision in a slowed-down form, making it easy to dodge.

However, Chen Luo didn't torment Dai Mubai indefinitely. After getting his fill of the challenge, Chen Luo allowed Dai Mubai's attack to hit him.

That's right, the reason why this word is emphasized is not because Dai Mubai made progress in the attack through his own strength.

"Clang!!!"

Dai Mubai's tiger paw landed on Chen Luo's lightning scales, the sharp tiger claws drawing sparks on the lightning scales, but it could not harm or even shake Chen Luo.

Chen Luo easily blocked Dai Mubai's subsequent attacks. His left hand, covered in black scales, seemed to serve as a solid shield, able to withstand all of Dai Mubai's attacks.

"The strength is enough, but the speed can be even faster!"

Chen Luo's voice rang out. In the midst of this fierce battle, he actually began to teach. The words "effortless" were not enough to describe his current situation.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately did as instructed and quickly gained Chen Luo's approval.

“That’s already pretty good. Keep it up. But don’t forget you still have soul skills. Why don’t you use them together?” Chen Luo said.

Dai Mubai then used his soul skill, unleashing a tiger paw strike followed immediately by his White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. However, even with this extremely close-range bombardment, Chen Luo easily dodged it.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago to control the energy of the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave? If the distance is far enough and there's enough time, it's okay to charge it up for a while. But with such a close distance, the faster you release it, the better. Let's achieve the purpose of the attack first."

The release of soul skills is not static; many soul skills can achieve completely different effects by controlling soul power.

For example, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, if charged for a long enough time, can unleash the power of a thousand-year-old soul skill. To use a term that Chen Luo is familiar with, it is called Tailed Beast Ball. Although it is a bit of an exaggeration to describe White Tiger Blazing Light Wave as Tailed Beast Ball, it is possible to get closer to that through continuous study and experimentation.

Chen Luo's training of the Shrek monsters was never just about physical training; he also offered many of his own opinions on many other aspects of their development.

He was always willing to spend time researching and figuring things out, doing his best to help them improve their strength and combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the fact that creating one's own soul skills is really difficult, Chen Luo could provide a lot of creative ideas for the little monsters.

Dai Mubai was the kind of student who listened to advice. He quickly adjusted the release process of the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave and soon hit Chen Luo at a fast enough speed, blasting Chen Luo away.

"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!" Chen Luo said with satisfaction.

Chen Luo's body had undergone repeated, almost superhuman improvements, making him incredibly powerful. With his lightning scales to block some of the damage, he could easily block Dai Mubai's second soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.

The subsequent battle was mostly fought with Dai Mubai attacking and Chen Luo defending or dodging, occasionally providing some combat ideas and maximizing his role as a sparring partner.

In the end, Dai Mubai was forced to end the battle due to exhaustion of his soul power. His meager soul power reserves were truly insufficient in front of Chen Luo, and Chen Luo did not even use any soul skills, so the consumption of soul power was negligible. Naturally, Chen Luo was the final winner of such a war of attrition.

Seeing Dai Mubai fall, Chen Luo looked at the support Soul Masters in the spectator stands with a faint smile. They immediately went to provide supplies.

"Next," Chen Luo said with a smile.

Chapter 189 The Information Arrives

It was evening.

Chen Luo walked out of the academy's fighting arena, stretched his body a little, and his bones cracked and popped.

"These little guys are really crazy. They've been fighting since this morning, and I'm starting to feel like I can't keep going..."

Chen Luo walked along the college path towards the cafeteria.

In the academy's arena.

All the little monsters at Shrek Academy were cultivating, and their faces showed signs of fatigue, even the three support-type Soul Masters.

Clear signs of battle were visible on the fighting arena, and wounds were also visible on the little monsters' bodies. Most of them were superficial injuries, which had all healed, but their clothes were all tattered and they looked a bit disheveled.

Before long, Chen Luo arrived at the academy cafeteria.

Chen Luo casually ordered two dishes, took out a bottle of sake, and began to enjoy the food and this rare moment of leisure.

After a long day, dinner time was the most comfortable. Chen Luo ate a few pieces of meat and drank some sake, feeling quite content.

"Why are you in such a sorry state? Could it be that someone at the Soul Douluo level or higher has launched a sneak attack on the academy?"

Chen Luo had just taken a sip of sake when another person appeared opposite him—Flander, who was looking at Chen Luo with a smile.

Chen Luo shook his head: "No, Shrek Academy still has a certain reputation, okay? Only someone with a screw loose would attack Shrek Academy."

"I only spent one day training with the little monsters, they were all too crazy."

Flanders laughed and said, "Is that really possible? They could have made you look so disheveled?"

To be honest, Chen Luo was in quite a sorry state at that moment.

The left sleeve was completely missing, revealing a strong arm, and there were also many gaps in other parts of his body, making him look extremely tattered.

If Chen Luo's handsome face hadn't remained unaffected, people who didn't know better might have mistaken him for a beggar, or even a beggar who was better dressed than him.

Chen Luo said, "I did most of the work myself. If I didn't give them a break, the training would be meaningless."

"The scorched spots on my clothes are indeed the work of your disciple. In any case, you should reimburse me for these clothes, right?"

Flanders laughed: "Reimbursement, absolutely!"

Chen Luo didn't care about his current appearance. He continued eating and asked, "Have you had dinner yet? Want to eat something together?"

Flanders said, "No need, I just had a big meal outside."

Chen Luo raised an eyebrow: "You're really loyal, living a carefree life outside."

Flanders grinned and said, "You're all talk. If I actually asked you to go, you definitely wouldn't."

Chen Luo asked, "How many gold soul coins do you estimate you earned this time?"

Flander said, "We haven't done an accurate count yet. Today I mainly went to collect information on teams from other regions."

Chen Luo asked, "What's the situation?"

Flander said, "It's basically all settled. I've said it before, the only contestants that Shrek Academy really needs to pay attention to are the four Elemental Academies that qualified through the preliminary rounds."

"How can the quality of teams from other regions compare to that of the Tiandou region?"

Chen Luo asked, "Where's the data?"

Flander immediately took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table: "They're all here."

Chen Luo put down his chopsticks and casually picked up a document to glance at it.

"This plant academy is interesting. They are all plant-based martial souls. If we encounter them in the promotion competition, I feel that Ma Hongjun alone will be enough."

Flanders nodded: "I think so too."

"By the way, Yu Xiuyuan and the others should arrive in Tiandou City tomorrow. Zhao Wuji is personally leading the team," Flander said.

Chen Luo was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"

Flander said, "Their regional qualifiers ended earlier than the Tiandou region's. As soon as they finished, they rushed to Tiandou City. Their purpose was to train a bit more before the promotion matches started, and also to exchange ideas with Tiandou Shrek Academy."

Chen Luo laughed: "Hey, Tiandou Shrek Academy? There's no one else here, so there's no need to be so formal with your words."

Flander said, "I need to get into the habit of not giving other teams anything to talk about. You don't need to worry about it, since you rarely communicate with other people anyway."

Chen Luo said, "It's good that you came early, so that we can train together tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is back."

Flander smiled slightly: "It's fine if you come back. Anyway, it won't have a big impact. If Shrek Academy really runs into any trouble, we three will still have to rely on each other."

Chen Luo laughed: "Dean Flander, who is at the Contra level, is really different. He speaks with much more confidence now."

Flanders laughed and said, "Of course!"

……

The next morning.

Chen Luo carefully moved out of bed, but before she could get off, Liu Erlong pulled her back in.

"Those brats didn't come looking for you today, so go back to sleep."

Feeling the softness and warmth emanating from Liu Erlong's body, Chen Luo felt slightly helpless, but still obediently lay down.
