"Luo Chuan, the way you were just now..."
"Was quite handsome."
Having returned to Shrek City through the Dragon Valley World, Gu Yue looked at Tang Luochuan beside her with a gentle smile.
Luo Chuan really does have an imposing presence.
"Did I?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan merely chuckled in response, lightly holding her hand without much reaction.
He was, after all, a rather low-key man.
Chen Xinjie's so-called "protection" had been clearly rejected by him. Since the other party still hadn't given up on his little schemes...
Then he had no choice but to show him a thing or two.
"Of course."
"Did you see how shocked that servant of the God of the Sea was?"
Gu Yue laughed, her tone dripping with mockery as she spoke of Chen Xinjie.
"Hahahaha, of course."
"Don't forget, my strength is enough to go four-six against even Senior Yun Ming."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile, speaking nonchalantly even within Shrek City.
His strength was no weaker than Yun Ming's.
The reason he said four-six wasn't because he couldn't win, but because as someone capable of condensing half a Godhood, Yun Ming had no shortage of defensive measures when going all out.
"Hmm? Luo Chuan Gege, that's not quite right."
At this moment, Na'er suddenly frowned, her face filled with skepticism as she spoke seriously.
"Ah, my dear disciple!"
Watching this scene from afar with Tong Yu, Yun Ming nearly shed tears of gratitude and couldn't help but exclaim.
The moment the group had returned to Shrek City, he had sensed their presence. He just hadn't expected Tang Luochuan to say such things...
Yes!
The other party's God's Domain, Godly Spirit Rings, and Double Super Artifacts were indeed formidable and intimidating.
But what about him, Yun Ming? Was he really that much weaker?
He really wanted to ask Luo Chuan—did his title as the world's number one Ultimate Douluo, the world's strongest, who became a Titled Douluo at nineteen and a Super Douluo in his twenties, mean nothing?
Alright...
The other party really didn't have to give him face!
Because before this, Luo Chuan had indeed fought him with his Life Domain fully unleashed, and the result was...
Without going all out, Yun Ming couldn't do much to him. But if he did go all out... it wasn't like he and Luo Chuan were enemies who needed to fight to the death!
Back then, while Luo Chuan could break his defenses, it wasn't a complete breakthrough. After all, whether it was his top-tier Four-Word Battle Armor or his already condensed Demigodhood...
He wasn't inferior to anyone!
But now, with Luo Chuan's new God's Domain, what advantage could he possibly hold over him?
"At least..."
"Na'er is still speaking up for me."
Yun Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and forced a smile.
See that, Luo Chuan?
At the very least, Na'er is on my side!
No matter how much you've won her heart, I, her teacher, will always be the one she admires and respects!
However, Na'er's next words nearly shattered his composure.
"Luo Chuan Gege, my teacher..."
"Is nowhere near as strong as you."
Na'er said with utmost seriousness.
Yun Ming: "..."
What did his earlier thoughts even count for? A joke?
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha…"
Whether Tang Luochuan was in a good mood or not was unclear, but at this moment, Tong Yu, sitting across from Yun Ming, was laughing so hard he nearly choked.
"Not at all, Senior Yun Ming is still very strong—the world's number one powerhouse. Someone like me isn't qualified to challenge him yet."
"Alright, with the Domain of Destruction…"
"Perhaps Senior Yun Ming's Four-Word Battle Armor can't withstand me, but as for that half of Godhood—who knows?"
Meanwhile, Tang Luochuan looked at the adorable Na'er before him and shook his head with a smile, his expression gentle. Clearly, he found Na'er's earnestness utterly endearing.
For a brief moment earlier, he had thought Na'er was seriously going to defend Senior Yun Ming. Who would've guessed…
How could Na'er be this adorable?
"I don't care."
"Brother Luo Chuan is the strongest."
Na'er shook her head dismissively, muttering under her breath.
"…"
"Pavilion Master Yun."
"Seems your disciple has a bit of a leak, huh?"
On the other side, watching Yun Ming's increasingly gloomy expression, Tong Yu couldn't suppress his laughter and couldn't help but comment.
Was there anything more amusing than seeing the world's number one powerhouse being humbled?
"Na'er…"
"Ah, that damned Luo Chuan brat…"
Hearing Luo Chuan's merciless words, Yun Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow and helplessness.
"Hey, it's fine."
"At least your disciple did say something for you—well, one sentence."
Tong Yu looked at him earnestly and chuckled.
Whether that sentence was kind or not…
Well, that wasn't their concern!
"…"
"Thanks for that."
Hearing this, Yun Ming glared at him, his face dark.
Of course, he knew Na'er had spoken up for him—but was it a good thing? Really, was it?
"But Luo Chuan's trip outside…"
"Why does it feel like he's come back with an even stronger aura? Could he really have gained something in such a short time?"
Yun Ming muttered in confusion.
And the God of the Sea's servant…
What was that about?
The only one who could be called the God of the Sea's servant was probably Chen Xinjie of the Sea God Family. Had Luo Chuan gone to the North Sea?
"Chen Xinjie of the War God Hall…"
"It's been years since I last saw him. Because of the Federation, we've long since had no contact. Could it really be him?"
Yun Ming pondered, perplexed.
"Sister Bell…"
"Can I really not go in here?"
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
A blue-haired girl stood before the gates of Shrek Academy, her eyes filled with longing as she murmured softly.
"Ah…"
"Young Miss, you really can't go in."
Beside her, a petite woman sighed helplessly, speaking bluntly.
On the surface, her cultivation was only at the Soul Sage level.
But her true identity was one of the Four Dark Heavenly Kings—Dark Bell. Going to Shrek Academy…
What good could come of that?
The Holy Spirit Church and Shrek Academy weren't just incompatible—they were practically nails clashing. Every generation of Shrek Inner Court students who ventured out was hunted down precisely to eliminate them.
"But just now…"
"I sensed a very unique presence."
The blue-haired girl murmured, her eyes filled with reluctance.
She could feel it.
That was a scent she desperately desired...
"What exactly..."
"What could it possibly be?"
The girl couldn't help but murmur to herself. For a moment, she looked down at the nether-blue mark on the back of her hand, which was now radiating intense light...
