Chapter 20 The Price of a Bad Mouth
The Spirit Hall has always been protective of its own, and Su Ming should never have tried to kill Xiao Chen.
Although Xiao Chen has not officially joined the Spirit Hall, in Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart, Xiao Chen's importance to the Spirit Hall even surpasses that of Chrysanthemum Douluo himself.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, clad in a black robe, landed directly beside Xiao Chen. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings lit up simultaneously, which could be considered as verifying the words of the Soul Emperor earlier.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The surrounding Soul Masters all bowed in respect. Although they did not know which Title Douluo the newcomer was, they still had to show the respect due to him.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue had arrived at Xiao Chen's side. Hu Liena asked Xiao Chen with concern if he was injured, and only after confirming that Xiao Chen was alright did she feel relieved.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think we should do with this person?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked softly from the side.
Given Chrysanthemum Douluo's temperament, Su Ming, who had previously dared to harm important figures of the Spirit Hall, would have already perished on the spot.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo paid great attention to Xiao Chen's thoughts in front of him, as he did not want Xiao Chen to have any bad impression of the Spirit Hall.
"Kill him!" Xiao Chen said calmly. Since this person had decided to kill him, he would not show any mercy.
Ju Douluo was very pleased to hear this. He had been worried that Xiao Chen was too kind, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking it.
When Su Ming first heard Chrysanthemum Douluo seeking Xiao Chen's opinion, he thought he still had a chance of survival.
In his opinion, Xiao Chen shouldn't have such a strong desire to kill, because he could tell that Xiao Chen had indeed shown mercy when he attacked the students of Canghui Academy.
He was still fantasizing that Xiao Chen would show him mercy, but then he heard the words, "Kill him."
He immediately begged for mercy, but Chrysanthemum Douluo would not give him a chance to continue speaking. His powerful soul force instantly crushed Su Ming's heart meridian, and this level 53 agility-type soul king was dead in the blink of an eye.
"Where are they?" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the students of Canghui Academy again.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze slowly swept over the five students of Canghui Academy. When the five students met Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, extremely cold.
They knew that their lives and deaths were in Xiao Chen's hands.
Xiao Chen turned and glanced at the three injured Soul Masters, then said, "The three of them have been punished, and presumably they won't talk nonsense again!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The agility-type Soul Master immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to apologize and swearing in fear that he would never speak recklessly again.
Xiao Chen raised his leg and kicked him away.
The man crashed to the ground, but dared not delay for a moment. He forced himself to his feet, enduring excruciating pain, and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for sparing my life!"
Xiao Chen ignored him and turned to look at the guy with the foulest mouth.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared, that guy was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, he buried his head deep in his hands, not daring to lift it even slightly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his heart filled with fear.
"Xiao Chen, how about I handle this person?" Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly spoke up.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
He believed that since Chrysanthemum Douluo had spoken up, he must have already thought of the best solution.
Seeing that Xiao Chen agreed, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the guy and said, "Boy, in principle, if you dared to offend my young lady, you would already be a corpse. But I never bully the weak. Now I will give you a chance. If you can defeat that boy, I will let you leave safely."
As Ju Douluo spoke, he pointed at Ma Yan.
He remembered that Chu Ruolan had mentioned that Ma Yan had obtained a 400-year-old soul bone. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo had never seen such a low-age soul bone before, so he wanted to take this opportunity to see this 400-year-old soul bone.
Seeing this, the surrounding Soul Masters all secretly praised the benevolent heart of the Title Douluo before them.
Because Ma Yan's soul power was one level lower than his opponent's, everyone naturally assumed that Chrysanthemum Douluo was deliberately holding back.
Little did he know that Chrysanthemum Douluo had already activated his spiritual power and quietly transmitted his voice to Ma Yan: "Your name is Ma Yan, right? Don't disappoint me."
Ma Yan naturally understood what Chrysanthemum Douluo meant, and at the same time, he was secretly delighted: "I didn't expect this Title Douluo to still remember my name!"
The offensive-type Soul Master, who had been utterly despondent and in despair, felt a surge of hope and joy upon hearing that he could escape by defeating Ma Yan.
He knew in his heart that once a Title Douluo had spoken, he was definitely not joking.
So the two of them got into fighting stances again.
Both were offensive-type Soul Masters, and their fight was brutal, with muffled thuds constantly echoing as their fists and feet collided.
Although Ma Yan's cultivation level was one level lower than his opponent's, thanks to the physical enhancement and physique strengthening brought by the soul bone, he not only did not fall into a disadvantageous position in a head-on confrontation, but also subtly suppressed his opponent.
That guy had found Ma Yan to be quite troublesome when they fought before, and now that they were fighting again, he finally realized that Ma Yan's strength was no less than his own.
But he had no way out. Under the threat of death, he fought with increasing ferocity and broke through the shackles in the fierce battle, raising his soul power by one level.
However, before he could even feel happy, a shimmering white light suddenly appeared between Ma Yan's brows.
In the blink of an eye, fine and mysterious patterns slowly emerged from Ma Yan's forehead, intertwining and spreading, finally outlining the phantom silhouette of the black-maned wolf's head bone.
"Black Mane Devouring Thought!"
Ma Yan gave a soft shout, and a gray light shot out from between his eyebrows, instantly disappearing into the man's brow.
"Soul...bone..." He weakly pointed at Ma Yan and uttered two words before collapsing, unable to hold on any longer. His vision went black.
Ma Yan knew very well that this soul skill could only stun that guy for a short while, so he immediately activated his second soul skill, "Black Mane Frenzy," and charged towards that guy.
The force of the impact instantly sent it flying, rolling dozens of meters on the ground before it slowly came to a stop.
The dizziness from Black Mane's Devouring Thought had just disappeared when the guy came to his senses and was horrified to find that his soul power was dissipating and he could not gather it no matter how hard he tried.
His pupils constricted sharply, his face turned deathly pale, his throat bobbed, and he roared in a trembling voice, "You...you destroyed my dantian..."
After saying that, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
None of the surrounding Soul Masters cared about him; all eyes were now on Ma Yan.
"A level 22 Great Soul Master, actually possessing a Soul Bone?"
"And it's an extremely rare head soul bone! It's unbelievable!"
"The skill attached to that soul bone is a mental attack. Just now, for a moment, I felt that even with my level 30 strength, I might not be able to withstand that black-maned devouring thought!"
"..."
A chorus of suppressed gasps and whispers mingled together. Everyone's gaze toward Ma Yan was filled with shock and envy, and of course, a hint of greed.
"That's good. After you graduate from school, if you want to join a faction, you can come to Wuhun City to find me!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said, looking at Ma Yan.
This statement will definitely solve a lot of trouble for Ma Yan, and can be considered as giving him a get-out-of-jail-free card.
