Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Trouble
The Next Day
Due to the elite soul master tournament's advancement stage for the Advanced Soul Master Academy, there was no opening ceremony. It seemed like they had simply changed venues.
As the Shrek Academy team passed the Blazing Fire Academy team:
"Hmph, Mu Chen. He didn't even look at me," Huo Wu clenched her fists, glaring fiercely at Mu Chen's back.
As the Shrek Academy team passed the Godwind Academy team:
"Mu Chen, you and I will have a battle someday," Feng Xiaotian declared.
"Yes, I'm waiting," Mu Chen replied calmly.
As the Shrek Academy team passed the Barak Kingdom's advancing team:
"Oh, who is this? Turns out it's a stray dog!" The representative team from the Barak Kingdom mocked Flender, Zhao Wuji, and others.
"Xiao Wu," Mu Chen said calmly.
**Third Soul Skill: Teleportation**
Snap!
Xiao Wu moved swiftly, appearing beside the Barak Kingdom team, and without hesitation, slapped the face of the team member who dared to mock Shrek Academy.
By the time the soul master realized what had happened, Xiao Wu was already back at Mu Chen's side.
"You hit me?" The captain of the Barak Kingdom team glared angrily at Xiao Wu.
"Zhu Zhuqing," Mu Chen called.
**Wind God Leg**
Bang!
Zhu Zhuqing moved like a phantom, kicking the person away.
"What are you doing?"
Faced with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's actions, the Barak Kingdom team members were furious.
"Anyone who disrespects people around me deserves a beating! Daring to glare at my woman deserves even more! This is the first and last time. Next time, it will cost you your eyes," Mu Chen said coldly.
"You..."
The six Barak Kingdom members pointed at Mu Chen.
"Don't want your hands anymore?" Mu Chen asked sharply.
"Uh!"
The six Barak Kingdom members were taken aback. At this moment, soldiers maintaining the tournament order arrived, so they reluctantly withdrew.
As the Shrek Academy team passed the Tianshui Academy representatives:
"How was last night?" Mu Chen asked.
"It was alright," Shui Bing'er replied.
"I feel my body has become much stronger," Shui Yue'er answered happily.
"We continue tonight at eight. I'll be waiting for you," Mu Chen instructed.
"Okay."
"Okay."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er nodded in unison. Just thinking about being taken advantage of by Mu Chen again tonight made their faces blush.
During the tournament's opening, His Majesty Xue Ye gave a speech, emphasizing that everyone should compete well, and the final winner would receive special rewards.
The advancement stage's format differed from the preliminary stage.
In the preliminary stage, all seven team members competed together, focusing on group battle abilities. In the advancement stage, each academy sent out seven members to compete one by one until all were defeated.
"Mu Chen, how do you plan to arrange the matches next?" Liu Erlong approached Mu Chen, affectionately holding his hand.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"You... you... you..."
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others looked at Liu Erlong and Mu Chen in surprise.
Liu Erlong was holding Mu Chen's hand, and Mu Chen didn't refuse.
"What's there to look at? Can't I have a man?" Liu Erlong asked boldly, her face blushing slightly but undeterred.
"Of course!"
"Of course!"
"Of course!"
Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar replied.
"I can still find a handsome young man, right?" Liu Erlong asked again.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar responded again.
"With my status, beauty, and level, I match your boss, Mu Chen, right?" Liu Erlong glanced at Mu Chen.
"Matched!"
"Matched!"
"Matched!"
Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar continued to agree.
"So why are you surprised?" Liu Erlong retorted.
"Yeah, why are we surprised?"
"Exactly, there's nothing to be surprised about."
"Right, no need to be surprised at all!"
Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar exchanged glances, each trying to hold back laughter.
As for Flender, his eyes showed satisfaction. His sister Erlong had finally found happiness.
"Mu Chen, tell me, how do you plan to arrange the matches?" Liu Erlong asked Mu Chen, letting go of his hand. She had noticed Xiao Wu was present. Among the girls around, only she and Xiao Wu were Mu Chen's women. The others' status was still unclear.
Knowing this, Liu Erlong was careful not to disregard Xiao Wu's feelings.
Liu Erlong moved to Xiao Wu's side, linking arms like close sisters. Xiao Wu, having learned everything from Mu Chen last night, didn't resist Liu Erlong. Like good friends, she let Liu Erlong hold her arm.
In the original storyline, Xiao Wu was Liu Erlong's adopted daughter. Due to Mu Chen's presence, this storyline had been entirely overturned.
"It's simple. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I'll take the stage alone until the final match. Otherwise, none of you need to appear," Mu Chen said calmly.
No one protested Mu Chen's proposal. In the preliminary stage, each had showcased their strength, which was enough for them.
Anyone too dazzling would attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.
Mu Chen's approach was for everyone's safety, so no one minded.
"Next match, Shrek Academy versus Barak Academy."
As Mu Chen and the others chatted, the host's voice slowly reached them.
When Mu Chen reached the stage, he found that the person stepping up was the captain of the Barak Kingdom team, Lovki, the same one Xiao Wu had slapped earlier.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the team captains are taking the stage: Barak Kingdom's captain Lovki and Shrek Academy's captain Mu Chen."
"Guess how many moves Barak Kingdom's Lovki can withstand against Mu Chen? Okay, let the match begin."
"Withstand a few moves? What do you mean?"
Lovki looked at Mu Chen with disdain and said mockingly, "You got it wrong, host. It's how many moves he can withstand against me. Flender, that coward, produced someone who can only last three moves against me."
"Who are you calling a coward?" Mu Chen asked.
"Flender, of course. Who else is cowardly?" Lovki laughed.
"Flender is now an elder of my Tang Sect. Say that again, who is the coward?" Mu Chen asked.
"Tang Sect?" Lovki's expression shifted, and he laughed, "I see. Flender the coward has some self-awareness. Knowing he couldn't continue with the academy, he joined some Tang Sect and became an elder. I think the head of this Tang Sect must be blind to take in such a coward!"
Bang!
Before Lovki could finish, Mu Chen struck, landing a punch on Lovki's heart. The attack was so swift that Lovki had no time to react.
Bang!
Lovki crashed to the ground, motionless.
"Is he dead?"
A team member checking Lovki's breath exclaimed.
"What?"
Other team members cried out in shock, as did the audience, who were left starin
g in disbelief at the scene.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were both stunned. Shui Bing'er, in particular, thought to herself, "This guy has no sense of moderation. Now this is trouble!"
