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

"Tang San has been following you for a while, but Yu Xiuyuan seems to have only been your disciple for a few months, right?"

"I left him a few books. There's not much I can teach him anyway. It was the same when I taught Tang San. I'm not a very good teacher, because my own strength isn't very high," Chen Luo said calmly.

Flander was somewhat surprised: "You're already a Soul Master. You seemed more confident when you were a Great Soul Master, so why are you less confident now that you're a Soul Master?"

"Haha, as you know, the only thing I could offer before was my so-called theories. But as my skills improved, I realized that not all of my theories were correct. Most of them needed further verification. Only practice can reveal the truth; you can't rely on just talking."

Chen Luo laughed and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'The more ignorant you are, the more confident you are.' Ignorance can be a lack of knowledge or a lack of strength. I feel like I am both."

Flander sighed softly: "You're already very good, there's no need to belittle yourself like this."

"I'm telling the truth. In the past, I would only choose to run away, but now I've learned to face it calmly. Since I'm weak, I'll work hard to improve myself. I didn't have the opportunity before, but now that I do, of course I have to work hard." Chen Luo's words were full of passion, but his tone was very calm.

"I'm getting older as I get older, but you seem to be getting younger and younger. I'm so envious."

As Flander spoke, he opened the book on the table, glanced at its contents casually, and slowly said, "You were already prepared to leave, so why did you come here again?"

"A simple farewell is still necessary."

"It might be better to omit this step."

Chen Luo laughed: "What, you can't bear to part with me?"

Flander made no attempt to hide it: "Yes, this period has felt like the happiest time of my life in the last decade, it's a pity it's coming to an end."

Chen Luo said, "Don't always be so mushy."

"Besides, it's not like I'm never coming back. I'll be back at Shrek Academy in a year at the shortest, and three to five years at the longest."

Flander said, "Where are you planning to go for training? Why don't you take me with you?"

Chen Luo shook his head: "I don't have a specific goal for the time being, so you shouldn't run around with me. Shrek Academy needs you."

"Having Zhao Wuji is enough."

"not enough."

"alright."

Flander said, "I was just joking. I'm way past the age of wanting to go out and explore. Otherwise, I wouldn't be holed up in Shrek Academy. I prefer to cultivate fresh blood now, and hopefully I can make some money along the way."

"Ah."

"You really aren't taking me with you?"

I prefer being alone.

"Alright, alright, let's get going." Flander waved his hand.

Chen Luo smiled slightly and then left.

……

half a month later.

Chen Luo stood on a hilltop, gazing at a small town shrouded in gray mist in the distance. Although he could only make out its outline, he was certain that it was the target he was looking for.

"We've finally arrived. The journey took less time than I expected."

Golden Luo Sanpao was right beside Chen Luo. Chen Luo gently stroked Golden Luo Sanpao's head, then leaped up and sat on Golden Luo Sanpao's back. The two of them quickly rushed down the mountain.

Despite the rugged mountain road, the Golden Luo Sanpao was still very fast. It could ignore the terrain and took less than five minutes to carry Chen Luo to the town.

Upon entering the town, Chen Luo concealed his martial spirit, preferring to keep a low profile. Both his black fourth spirit ring and the Golden Luo Three Cannons were undeniably eye-catching features.

Chen Luo wasn't worried at all about being attacked from behind. He wouldn't be careless. With the Eye of the Divine Dragon, no matter how fast the attacker was, he could dodge it. Activating his Martial Soul would only take a moment, and he would have plenty of time.

The town was sparsely populated, and the few pedestrians one occasionally encountered were all strange, with indifferent expressions and aimless wandering, giving the impression of walking corpses. They all exuded a faint smell of blood.

Perhaps it was the smell of blood that stimulated Chen Luo, who seemed to see streaks of blood in the gray mist drifting through the town. It was those streaks of blood that emitted a nauseating stench, constantly stimulating his sense of smell.

The town has many shops, most of which are closed. Only a few are open, selling food and daily necessities. The owners all have strange smiles on their faces, and their shops are all doing very poor business.

After searching around the town for a while, Chen Luo finally stopped in front of a tavern.

This place isn't hard to find, as it's probably the liveliest spot in town.

People entered the tavern one after another, and even those standing outside could hear the cacophony of laughter, arguments, screams, and curses coming from inside.

If you listen more closely, you can hear indescribable noises coming from the back of the tavern from time to time.

The tavern had no detailed name, only a very distinctive blood-red mark with the word "tavern" on it.

Chen Luo walked in slowly, but the tavern was not as lively as he had imagined. There were indeed quite a few people drinking, but they all seemed very quiet, mostly alone. The sounds he heard from outside the tavern seemed like his hallucinations.

"Dear guest, what service do you require?"

As soon as Chen Luo entered the tavern, a waitress came over. She was a hot girl in her early twenties with a faint smile on her face.

"I want to go in," Chen Luo said calmly.

The waiter immediately understood: "Okay, sir, please follow me!"

After saying that, the waiter walked toward the counter, undressing as she went.

Just as Chen Luo thought the other party had misunderstood him, the waiter stopped what he was doing and slammed his hands on the counter. A sudden gust of wind blew, making the waiter's clothes rustle loudly.

After a short while, everything returned to calm.

The waiter greeted, "Please come in, sir."

Chapter 79: Battle Begins

Chen Luo couldn't quite understand the waiter's actions, but the waiter had opened a passage at the counter in this strange way. Chen Luo walked to the counter and saw a staircase leading down to the ground.

The waitress was already tidying her clothes. Chen Luo glanced at her and saw blood-red lines on her collarbone that were spreading downwards and were now slowly fading.

"This is not how I imagined the Killing City is going. It's all so fancy..." Chen Luo walked down the steps to the ground. Soon he heard all the different kinds of noise he had heard outside the tavern.

"So the real tavern is underground?" Chen Luo thought to himself.

There was a faint red light on both sides of the steps, which could barely provide illumination. The further Chen Luo went down, the weaker the red light seemed to become. When he reached the back, Chen Luo was almost completely plunged into darkness.

But Chen Luo didn't care. With the Eyes of the Divine Dragon, he could navigate the darkness without any problems.

Less than five minutes after they descended, the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness. The faint crimson light from before had vanished completely, and although Chen Luo's Dragon Eye was golden, it no longer emitted any light.

With the Dragon Eyes, Chen Luo was able to continue smoothly down the path. After walking for about five more minutes, Chen Luo regained his sight.

Strangely enough, the journey downwards should have been so long that one could see straight down. Even if there were dark areas, as long as there was light, it should be within sight.

As Chen Luo walked down, he didn't encounter any turns or changes in route; he went straight down.

Even the Dragon's Eye couldn't see through this strangeness, leaving Chen Luo somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Chen Luo had arrived at an open space. There was light coming from somewhere around him, and looking further into the distance, there was only endless darkness. This extremely strange space was definitely not the work of nature.

Walking on this open space, Chen Luo no longer heard those strange noises, and the "real tavern" he had expected did not appear.

Chen Luo looked into the distance and saw a special passage. It started out as white light, but the further he went in, the more red the light turned.

After Chen Luo stepped inside, he discovered that there were many blood streaks in the white light. The further he went, the denser and richer the blood color became. It was those blood streaks that stained the white light blood red.

As Chen Luo admired the eeriness of the place, he continued walking forward. Before long, he reached the end, where everything was covered in blood, leaving him nowhere to go.

"Come in, everything you want is here."

An elusive voice rang in Chen Luo's ears, indistinguishable between male and female. Upon hearing the voice, Chen Luo remained remarkably calm, yet still took a step forward.

Chen Luo stepped into the crimson light and quickly passed through this special entity. When he reappeared, he was already in front of a huge city.

From afar, Chen Luo saw the words "Slaughter City" on the huge city. Just as he continued walking forward, a group of soldiers dressed in black armor suddenly appeared.

Leading the group was a knight who was over two meters tall and incredibly muscular. He held a long lance and rode an even more robust black warhorse, which was also covered in black armor.

"Defeat me, and you may enter!"

Without uttering a single wasted word, the leading knight spoke in a deep voice, pointing his spear directly at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo nodded, immediately preparing for battle: "Let's go!"

The knight leaped off his horse and charged swiftly toward Chen Luo, his lance always pointed at him, like a predator locking onto its prey, exuding a powerful aura.

Chen Luo appeared very calm, showing no signs of facing a major battle.

"call!!!"

The knight arrived instantly, thrusting his lance toward Chen Luo at incredible speed. An ordinary person couldn't react in time, but Chen Luo was no ordinary person. All the knight's movements were slowed down infinitely in his eyes. The situation was like an incredibly agile young man dodging the attack of a slow-moving old man. Wasn't this an easy task?

Chen Luo simply took a half-step to the side to dodge the knight's lance, and his left hand landed right on the lance shaft.

“It’s over.” Chen Luo said calmly. The knight’s lance could not advance any further. Then, a “zzzz” sound of electricity rang out. The next second, countless bolts of lightning erupted from Chen Luo’s left hand, and the knight was instantly engulfed by the lightning.

"what!!!!"

With a scream, the knight collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Chen Luo calmly looked at the other soldiers, who immediately made way for him, and Chen Luo continued walking forward.

Chen Luo didn't turn around, but he could clearly hear the warriors surrounding the knight, followed by the sound of sharp blades piercing through bodies.

"Were the tickets to Killing City bought with their lives? Were so many people killed?"

Chen Luo sighed inwardly. In his opinion, the knights' personnel were constantly being replaced, but they probably all had a certain number of battles to fight, and when their combat power declined, that was their death day.

Soon, Chen Luo arrived at the entrance to the City of Slaughter. Even from a distance, the sight of this colossal structure was awe-inspiring. Now, standing beneath it, he felt incredibly small.

As Chen Luo arrived, the gates of the Slaughter City slowly opened, and a graceful woman wearing a black veil and a black dress walked in: "Welcome to the Slaughter City!"

The woman's voice was very pleasant, giving off a seductive feeling. If someone who couldn't control their desires heard it and saw the woman's perfect figure, they would probably pounce on her directly.

"From this moment on, you are number 9000..."

The woman began to explain everything about the Killing City to Chen Luo, including the Hell Killing Fields, as they continued walking along the street.

Chen Luo listened attentively, his gaze fixed on the fallen people lining both sides of the street. The scenes that entered his eyes overturned his understanding of normal order. Here, the absence of any rules was the greatest rule, fully revealing human desires.

Some people are killing, some are venting their anger, and some are killed in the process of venting their anger...

When Chen Luo read Douluo Continent before, he had imagined what the Slaughter City would be like, and he thought those scenes were already outrageous enough. But now that he actually saw it, he realized that his imagination had not been fully unleashed.

The rules of the Hell Slaughter Arena were not much different from what Chen Luo remembered. After listening to the explanation from the woman in black veil, Chen Luo headed straight for the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Time is limited, let's get to the fight!
