For a moment.
The entire hotel instantly fell silent.
Arrogant! Truly arrogant!
So arrogant! Damn arrogant!
The ordinary people watching the spectacle had already made Su Chen their idol. If we were Soul Masters, we'd be just as cocky! Too cool.
They could brag about this day for years to come, adding extra peanuts to their drinking sessions.
Over at Canghui Academy, the students were dumbfounded. They all looked at their teacher, Ye Zhiqiu… He called us trash! Ye Zhiqiu glared at them… I heard it, so what? Tang San and Dai Mubai were also about to explode with rage.
Damn it!
We've never seen anyone so arrogant in our lives. Doesn't anyone here have a temper? What? You all don't have any temper? Fine! Since none of you do, then we won't either. We'll just endure it.
That's the thing.
Even if they couldn't bear it, what could they do?
Hu Liena finally couldn't help but give Su Chen a thumbs up, saying, "So domineering!"
"Ahem."
Dugu Yan choked, looking at Hu Liena with a complicated expression… Sister, Su Chen's trash talk included you too.
Ye Zhiqiu's gaze focused on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, and he spoke,
"Since you two look down on our Canghui Academy, then come out and spar!"
Damn.
Dai Mubai's face darkened. "You'll only humiliate yourselves!"
"Let's fight then!"
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth and followed, unfazed by the prospect of facing Canghui Academy, except for Su Chen.
Tang San gave Oscar a look, and Oscar nodded firmly, pulling Tang San along. "Good brother, let's go too!"
Tang San: ??? I told you to go upstairs and get Teacher Zhao Wuji, not to drag me into this! Although unsure of their opponents' strength, they were still teachers. Besides, with Su Chen around, Tang San hadn't planned on using his trump card.
Su Chen turned to Ning Rongrong and the other two, saying, "What did I tell you yesterday?"
"When I was teaching you yesterday, I told you to be committed to your role. Now that your classmate is getting into a fight, you should go and… go and fight!"
"You…"
Ning Rongrong and the others were furious. How can anyone be so outrageous?
"Every time you get hit, we get dragged into it too. We really appreciate it."
Su Chen ignored the three of them and turned to Hu Liena and the others, saying: "People nowadays are always just thinking of themselves, unable to understand others' good intentions. Am I bullying them?"
"I'm making them realize their mistakes today, making them remember. Otherwise, they'll suffer even more in the future... Sigh! There aren't many kind people like me left."
"Waiter, bring the dishes."
Hu Liena and the other two were completely stunned.
Well.
If you put it that way, we really have no reason to argue. You really are doing the right thing!
Kindness!
The moment Su Chen's words reached Tang San and Dai Mubai, who were just at the door, they nearly choked with rage!
You've got to be kidding me.
After bullying them, he actually wanted their thanks?
It was absolutely outrageous!
Did he want them to sing him a song too?
Tang San secretly vowed that once he finished making his Fury of the Buddha Tang Lotus, he would personally send this guy to meet the Buddha. Someone as "kind" as him belonged in the Western Paradise.
Soon!
The battle outside began. The Shrek Seven Devils were fighting against Soul King Ye Zhiqiu, who was at the fiftieth rank. The battle was quite intense.
After all, they were the main characters. Although there was a significant gap in power, they still had some skills!
However…
Because Tang San was wary of Su Chen, he didn't use any of his hidden weapon trump cards, which soon led to a worsening of the battle situation. The Shrek Seven Devils began to be passively beaten.
Ye Zhiqiu, although he didn't know what Su Chen was thinking, also understood: just beat up these brats and it would be over.
That guy was punching and kicking, afraid of using soul skills and knocking them down too quickly.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji, who was resting upstairs, slowly walked down the stairs, ready to go out and show off.
"Hmm?"
As soon as Zhao Wuji went downstairs, he noticed Su Chen and the others. Although the two sides hadn't officially met, he knew who Su Chen's group were.
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was going to help out, Su Chen quickly shouted:
"Hey, isn't this Vice-Principal Zhao Wuji? What a coincidence! Come sit with us and have a couple of drinks!"
Zhao Wuji paused, his brow furrowing as he looked at Su Chen and replied, "No need, I have some matters to attend to outside. I'll come back later and have a couple of drinks with you."
Su Chen's expression immediately changed, and his tone became threatening: "Are you saying you won't give me face? No one on the Douluo Continent has ever dared to disrespect me, Su Chen... Nana!"
Hu Liena immediately stood up, and terrifying soul power pressed down on them.
Boom—! Zhao Wuji was struck as if by nine thunderbolts. His face revealed a shocked and terrified expression. This little girl, who looked to be about eighteen, had such a profound soul power? It was probably about to reach the Title Douluo level.
Terrifying! Zhao Wuji believed it.
Before, Flender had told him that he had met a girl under twenty years old who was stronger than him. Zhao Wuji had said he was bragging.
Now, Zhao Wuji experienced it firsthand. This soul power was at least level eighty, if not more. How could anyone be so powerful? In the shadows.
Tang Hao felt Hu Liena's terrifying soul power and couldn't help but be greatly shocked. The other party was clearly only at level eighty, how could they have such terrifying soul power?
Could it be that she also has a 100,000-Year Soul Ring?
It was obvious!
Hu Liena's soul rings included four that were 100,000-Year Soul Rings. Despite being only at Rank 80, her true soul power and combat strength were far beyond that.
Su Chen said calmly, "What's happening outside is just child's play. Teachers can't always indulge their students, or they'll end up losing their lives when they meet someone truly ruthless."
"Right, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji?"
"Uh… yes, yes, yes, you're right, sir. These little monsters are just too arrogant. It's good for them to suffer a bit."
Zhao Wuji became obedient. After all, Dai Mubai and Tang San outside weren't in any mortal danger. If he insisted on going out to help, he would be the one in danger first.
"That's more like it!"
"Come, sit down, let's have a couple of drinks and get to know each other. My name is Su Chen."
Su Chen invited Zhao Wuji to sit down and eat, and then he proceeded to toast him three times in a row, which left Zhao Wuji completely bewildered.
Something's not right!
Based on what happened the past couple of days, shouldn't this Su Chen be a major villain, specifically targeting them, the Shrek Seven Devils?
Why is he actually drinking and eating with me? And also...
This Su Chen doesn't seem as utterly wicked as everyone described him to be.
Confused.
Zhao Wuji couldn't understand it.
A while later.
The students from Canghui Academy, looking pleased with themselves, ushered their teacher inside. Ye Zhiqiu was injured, sure, but it was clearly not a major issue.
In contrast, when the Shrek Seven Devils entered, they were a sorry sight. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, in particular, were a mess, beaten black and blue by Ye Zhiqiu, and limping as they walked.
This was a far more brutal beating than Su Chen had given them.
