# Chapter 31: Sword Douluo's Arrival

---

Chen Sheng and the others were waiting in the lounge area when they saw a one-armed man walking toward them with steady, confident steps.

The moment Ning Rongrong's eyes landed on him, they lit up with pure joy!

"Grandpa Sword, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Having not seen Chen Xin for so many days, Ning Rongrong couldn't control her excitement. She ran over happily and grabbed his arm, shaking it like a child.

"Haha, Rongrong, didn't I rush over as soon as I received your message?" Chen Xin said warmly, patting her head affectionately. "Have you been bullied at Shrek these past few days?"

He leaned closer and whispered conspiratorially, "Let me tell you, if your father hadn't stopped me, the day I found out you weren't at the Sect, I probably would have gone out to bring you back immediately."

Chen Xin didn't hesitate to throw Ning Fengzhi under the carriage, directly clearing his own name.

He had rushed over without delay as soon as he received his little princess's message a few days ago.

Their Rongrong had grown up in the Sect since childhood—where had she ever traveled so far? And for so many days! He missed her terribly!

At the same time, Flender came over with Yu Xiaogang and a few others.

As soon as they arrived, they heard Sword Douluo Chen Xin asking Ning Rongrong if she had been bullied. Cold sweat immediately dripped down their backs.

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around playfully. "Oh, Grandpa Sword, you don't even look at who I am! I'm the little devil girl Ning Rongrong! It's more like I bully them, so you don't need to worry."

Originally, Ning Rongrong had planned to tell Grandpa Sword about Yu Xiaogang's harsh treatment during training. But then she thought—what's the difference between this and a child tattling in public? This kind of thing was beneath her dignity!

Moreover, thanks to Chen Sheng's help, she hadn't suffered too much trouble anyway.

When Chen Xin heard this, he was slightly stunned. The smile on his face disappeared, and he just looked at Ning Rongrong for several long seconds.

For a moment, he truly felt that their little princess had grown up!

When she suffered troubles outside, she didn't actively complain. She even knew how to protect others' dignity!

At this moment, Chen Xin's heart was extremely complex.

He understood Ning Rongrong's character very well. Within the Sect, with them doting on her, there were some things that caused headaches, but they would still accommodate her.

But outside was different!

Because Ning Rongrong's Spirit was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with no combat power, and their Sect was far from here—if anything happened, it would be difficult for them to protect her quickly.

The most crucial point was that he had learned from Ning Fengzhi about the letter asking Flender to temper Ning Rongrong's character properly.

So he was very clear that their little princess had definitely suffered some difficulties. According to her previous character, she would definitely have complained immediately!

But now...

For some reason, while Chen Xin felt relieved, he also felt a little heartache.

However, these were all things Ning Rongrong had to experience to grow. She was the future successor of the Sect!

But that letter was written by Ning Fengzhi—it was Ning Fengzhi's intention, not his!

Hmph!

Anyone who dared to make his little princess suffer...

Chen Xin's gaze shifted, instantly fixing on Flender. The corner of his mouth curved into a dangerous smile. "Flender, our Rongrong hasn't been wronged here, has she? How about we have a good chat privately later?"

The last two words carried extremely heavy weight.

It's over!

It's completely over!

Seeing Chen Xin's attitude, Flender knew the Sword Douluo wanted to pursue the matter. He could only force an ugly smile. "Senior Sword Douluo, Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Who here would dare to wrong her?"

As he spoke, Flender gave Ning Rongrong a desperate look, but Ning Rongrong pretended not to see it.

What? Where's that attitude you had before, wanting to control this girl? Didn't you say a Spirit Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Spirit Master? I'll show you now what happens when you cause real trouble!

Hehe.

Ning Rongrong chuckled mischievously in her heart. At the same time, her heart warmed slightly. She hadn't expected her Grandpa Sword to stand up for her so strongly. She hadn't even asked for it!

Seeing Ning Rongrong ignore his pleading gaze, Flender's hopes finally died completely.

Chen Xin withdrew his gaze from Flender and landed it on Chen Sheng. He hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his trip!

Rongrong's letter had mentioned a remarkable youth named Chen Sheng—someone with only level six innate spirit power who had somehow reached Spirit Ancestor level. More importantly, she'd written about how he possessed a powerful sword-type martial soul and had used it to completely exhaust flames during a demonstration!

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who had been extremely nervous the moment she saw Chen Xin, relaxed when she noticed the Sword Douluo wasn't looking at her strangely—he wasn't even glancing her way with suspicion.

The bracelet her brother gave her was truly amazing!

"You must be the Chen Sheng that Rongrong spoke of," Chen Xin said in as approachable a tone as possible. "With innate spirit power of only level six, yet your actual spirit power has already reached Spirit Ancestor level? Most importantly, Rongrong told me you possess a powerful sword-type martial spirit. Could you show me?"

Chen Xin spoke politely and with genuine interest.

He wouldn't doubt anything Rongrong said, but he still needed to confirm it himself. It was simply too astonishing!

Chen Sheng appreciated Chen Xin's respectful attitude. He glanced at Yu Xiaogang meaningfully, letting the Grandmaster experience the difference.

Both were making requests of others, but this was how it should be done properly.

Although Chen Xin's good attitude was likely due to Ning Rongrong's influence, Chen Sheng didn't care about that at all. Respect was respect.

Yu Xiaogang noticed the look and frowned uncomfortably.

"Grandpa Sword, you don't know!" Ning Rongrong said excitedly before Chen Sheng could respond. "Chen Sheng is already a four-ring Spirit Ancestor now!"

"What?!" Chen Xin's eyes widened with shock. "A twelve-year-old four-ring Spirit Ancestor? That's not right, Rongrong. When you sent me the message, didn't you say Chen Sheng was only a Spirit Elder?"

Chen Xin was truly shocked beyond belief. What kind of extraordinary talent was this?

Wait... is this child's innate spirit power really only level six? How is such rapid advancement even possible?

『DING! DETECTED Chen Xin's Shocking emotion toward host's presence. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

"That's not all, Grandpa Sword!" Ning Rongrong continued enthusiastically. "Let me tell you what happened in Star Dou Great Forest!"

She proceeded to describe the encounter with the two 100,000-year spirit beasts—how Chen Sheng had bravely chased after them alone when they captured Xiao Wu, how he forced the legendary Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python to stop and release her through sheer presence and power!

Chen Xin was shocked beyond belief when he heard the full story. At first he don't want to belive this nonsense, but when he heard everyone conformation he thought it must be true. Chen Sheng dared to act as bait alone in front of two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts who can rival powerful Titled Douluo, letting everyone else leave first? Was this the courage a twelve-year-old boy should possess?

『DING! DETECTED Chen Xin's Profound shock and disbelief emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

"Chen Sheng, thank you!" Chen Xin's attitude became even more sincere, his voice carrying genuine gratitude. "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect owes you a tremendous favor. As long as it's within our capability, just speak your mind—we will do everything we can to help you!"

Chen Xin's evaluation of Chen Sheng solidified: If this child doesn't perish midway, he will surely achieve great things!

At the same time, he became even more displeased with Flender and the others. He glared at them fiercely. "How can you call yourselves teachers? You let a twelve-year-old boy who just started cultivating not long ago go after 100,000-year-old spirit beasts alone?!"

In Chen Xin's eyes, as teachers and the strongest among the group, they should have stepped forward to protect the weak!

In fact, Sword Douluo Chen Xin always upheld this belief—he would later choose to stay behind alone to cover others' retreat when Spirit Hall attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others were so openly reprimanded by Chen Xin that even with their thick faces, they felt deeply ashamed and remained silent.

Chen Xin turned back to Ning Rongrong with heartache in his voice. "Rongrong, why don't you come back to the Sect with me after this? You were just lucky this time. Otherwise, we three old men would have been attending a younger generation's funeral!"

He grew angrier as he spoke. "I'll talk to Ning Fengzhi! It's really him—he insisted on letting you suffer a bit outside, and now look! You suffered and almost died!"

Chen Xin looked ready to return to the Sect immediately and fight Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Rongrong smiled and shook her head gently. "Grandpa Sword, please don't say that. I feel like I've gained a lot from this trip."

She didn't directly say whether she would return to the Sect. She had finally made friends with Chen Sheng, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing at Shrek Academy. She didn't want to leave just like that—unless the three of them wanted to leave with her.

Chen Xin, being experienced in life, understood Ning Rongrong's thoughts. He knew she had made good friends here, so he decided to observe the situation more carefully before making decisions.

However, his gaze lingered on Xiao Wu for a few seconds. Was this the little girl who had been unwilling to leave, accompanying Chen Sheng to face the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python alone?

It seemed her relationship with Chen Sheng was not simple, which made Chen Xin frown slightly.

Judging by his Rongrong's behavior, she had a very good impression of Chen Sheng. After his brief observation, Chen Sheng indeed had extraordinary bearing and was clearly talented. If Rongrong liked him, he wouldn't object to them being together. He would even wholeheartedly approve!

But in the current situation with this other girl clearly close to Chen Sheng as well, they could only let nature take its course.

Chen Xin's slight frown was immediately caught by Xiao Wu, who had been secretly observing him. Her heart tightened nervously. Could Chen Xin have discovered something about her true nature?

But she chose to trust Chen Sheng and quietly stood beside him without making any other moves. She only relaxed when Chen Xin shifted his gaze back to Chen Sheng, apparently satisfied with whatever he'd observed.

Chen Xin looked at Chen Sheng with renewed interest. "Well then, young Chen Sheng, I would very much like to see this sword martial soul that Rongrong mentioned. Would you be willing to show me?"

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded. "Of course, Grandpa Sword. It would be my honor."

He took a few steps back to give himself space, then raised his right hand. Blue ice energy and black void power began swirling around his palm as his second martial soul materialized.

The Void Breaking Sword appeared in his hand—a magnificent weapon wreathed in freezing blue ice and dark void energy. Golden patterns traced intricate designs across its blade, and the sword radiated an aura of absolute sharpness that seemed capable of cutting through space itself!

The moment the sword appeared, Chen Xin's expression changed dramatically!

His eyes widened in complete shock, and his body involuntarily took a step forward. As someone who had devoted his entire life to the sword, he could immediately recognize the extraordinary quality of this martial soul!

"This... this is..." Chen Xin's voice trembled with excitement and disbelief. "A divine-grade sword martial soul?! No, even higher! The aura it radiates... the void combined with ice... the golden patterns suggesting ancient origin..."

He couldn't take his eyes off the Void Breaking Sword. His hands actually shook slightly with the desire to touch it, but he restrained himself out of respect.

『DING! DETECTED Chen Xin's Awe and Excitement emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!" Chen Xin exclaimed, circling around Chen Sheng to observe the sword from every angle. "In all my years as a Sword Douluo, I have never—and I mean NEVER—seen a sword martial soul of this quality!"

He looked at Chen Sheng with completely new eyes, as if seeing him for the first time. "Young man, do you realize what you possess? This sword... its potential is limitless! With proper cultivation, this martial soul alone could make you one of the greatest sword wielders in the entire continent's history!"

Flender and the others watched in shock. To make the famous Sword Douluo Chen Xin react this way...

Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale with jealousy. Another exceptional martial soul? How many secrets does this boy have?

『DING! DETECTED Yu Xiaogang's Intense Jealousy emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

Tang San stared at the Void Breaking Sword with complex emotions—admiration, envy, and a growing sense that the gap between him and Chen Sheng was becoming impossibly wide.

『DING! DETECTED Tang San's Envy and Inadequacy emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

Ning Rongrong beamed with pride, as if Chen Sheng's accomplishments were her own. "See, Grandpa Sword! I told you Chen Sheng was amazing!"

Chen Xin finally composed himself, though his excitement remained obvious. "Chen Sheng, I must ask—have you added any spirit rings to this sword martial soul yet?"

Chen Sheng shook his head. "Not yet, Grandpa Sword. I've been focusing on developing my first martial soul, the Ancient White Tiger. The Void Breaking Sword is still waiting for its first spirit ring."

"Good, good!" Chen Xin said enthusiastically. "When you're ready to add rings to this magnificent sword, please inform our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! We will spare no expense or effort to help you find the most suitable spirit beasts! A sword of this quality deserves only the finest spirit rings!"

He paused, then added with complete sincerity, "Chen Sheng, I formally extend an invitation for you to visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi would be honored to meet you, and we have extensive resources that could help your cultivation!"

『DING! DETECTED Chen Xin's Admiration emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

Chen Sheng smiled warmly and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your generous offer, Grandpa Sword. I will definitely consider it carefully."

Chen Xin nodded, clearly satisfied. He turned to the group with renewed energy. "Well then! Since I'm here, I'd love to see you all in action at the Spirit Arena! Let's go watch some matches!"

---

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and Chen Sheng standing close together, clearly about to team up. He frowned with obvious reluctance.

"Xiao Wu, I think it's better if you team up with me," Tang San said, trying to sound reasonable. "You know, Chen Sheng will be facing Spirit Ancestor-level opponents. You're currently only level thirty-four. If he teams up with Boss Dai, the probability of winning will be much greater. Our levels are similar, which makes us more suitable partners!"

Tang San's words seemed flawless on the surface, making others believe he was genuinely thinking about team strategy. In reality, it was just to satisfy his own selfish desires to be close to Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang, knowing Tang San's peculiar feelings for Xiao Wu, looked at Chen Sheng as well. "Chen Sheng, Little San is right. You'll most likely be facing two-on-two battles against high-level Spirit Ancestors. It's best if you team up with Mubai, or have Rongrong assist you with her support abilities."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he also tried to bring Ning Rongrong into it. He knew that Ning Rongrong definitely intended to team up with Chen Sheng!

Who would have thought that Ning Rongrong would immediately see through his scheme?

"Grandmaster, Chen Sheng's strength is so great that even facing two high-level Spirit Ancestors by himself wouldn't be a problem!" Ning Rongrong said sharply. "You wouldn't be trying to separate him and Xiao Wu just because Tang San is your disciple, would you?!"

She continued pointedly, "Just now you said free teaming, but now..."

During her time with Chen Sheng, Ning Rongrong had learned to see through the essence of certain manipulations.

The difference between her and Chen Sheng's levels was so vast that even as support, she probably wouldn't last two or three minutes before her spirit power was exhausted. As a theoretical Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang should know this best!

Thinking this way, Yu Xiaogang was just trying to drag her into it to cover up his true intentions of separating Chen Sheng and Xiao Wu.

Now that her Grandpa Sword was present, she didn't need to hold back anymore. She had been annoyed with Yu Xiaogang for a long time!

Yu Xiaogang felt stuck. He looked at Chen Xin, who was frowning at this obvious favoritism, and forced an awkward smile. "How could that be, Rongrong? I'm just thinking about what's best for everyone and offering a suggestion. The final decision is still up to you all."

『DING! DETECTED Yu Xiaogang's Embarrassment emotion toward host's influence. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

"Hmph! Grandmaster, I'm teaming up with my brother, and no one can change that!" Xiao Wu declared firmly, her tone becoming proudly defiant. "And honestly, Dai Mubai might not even be as strong as me!"

Xiao Wu was getting angry now, and her confidence showed clearly.

Actually, although she hadn't officially fought Dai Mubai yet, she had complete confidence in her abilities!

"What?!" Dai Mubai's face flushed with anger at having his strength questioned. "Are we going to fight first then?"

Xiao Wu's words were practically trampling on his dignity as a man!

"Sure! In that case, do you dare to sign up for a one-on-one match later?" Xiao Wu suggested boldly. "We can't just register our names and leave after coming all the way to this Spirit Arena today, can we?"

Flender interjected from the side, trying to defuse the tension. "Hey, hey! Isn't it just forming teams? What are you all doing? However..." He paused thoughtfully. "This is actually good. You can all sign up and experience the real atmosphere of the Spirit Arena."

Soon, the eight students formed their respective teams:

- Chen Sheng and Xiao Wu

- Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing

- Tang San and Ma Hongjun

- Dai Mubai and Oscar

After confirming the teams, the eight submitted their applications. At the same time, except for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, everyone else also signed up for one-on-one battles, two-on-two matches, and team battles!

"Xiaogang, can they sustain their spirit power by participating in so many types of battles at once?" Flender asked with some uncertainty.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, indicating there was no problem physically. However, there was one thing he was very worried about.

It wasn't difficult to see that the eight Shrek members were divided into two distinct camps: those led by Tang San, including Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar. And those led by Chen Sheng, including Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

The tension just now had been extremely thick between the two groups.

He only hoped that through today's battles, the students could learn to cooperate better with each other.

---

Soon after they signed up, the Host's voice boomed through the arena: "Tonight's first match—Soft Bones Demon Rabbit versus Evil Eyes White Tiger!"

They weren't using their real names, but rather aliases for arena combat.

Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke up. "Everyone should buy masks to wear during matches. It's better to keep your identities private in the arena."

Hearing the Host's announcement, Chen Sheng and the others all looked at Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai in unison.

What a coincidence that they'd be matched first!

"Xiao Wu, go for it!" Chen Sheng said encouragingly, placing a supportive hand on her shoulder. "Show everyone what you can really do!"

Originally, he wanted to tell Xiao Wu to be somewhat merciful. But then he remembered that Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai had a four-level spirit power gap. If she wasn't careful, there was a risk of being counterattacked by Dai Mubai, especially with his boosting abilities.

It was better for her to go all out from the start.

Hehe.

Xiao Wu nodded confidently and walked toward the arena stage. Dai Mubai approached from the opposite side, both now wearing simple masks.

The Host looked at these two young fighters and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect tonight's first match to be between two talented young people! Their strength is definitely not weak!"

"Without further delay, let's introduce their basic information to the audience now."

"Soft Bones Demon Rabbit—Spirit: Rabbit, Spirit Power level thirty-four, Attack System Spirit Elder!"

"Evil Eyes White Tiger—Spirit: Evil Eyes White Tiger, Spirit Power level thirty-eight, Attack System Spirit Elder!"

"Oh, where did this delicate little girl come from?" someone shouted from the stands mockingly. "You should hurry and get off the stage! The opponent's Spirit is an evil tiger, and he's stronger than you! Don't get eaten later!"

A wave of similar mockery toward Xiao Wu immediately came from various parts of the audience.

Dai Mubai laughed arrogantly on stage. "Hahaha, see? Even the audience doesn't think you'll win!"

Xiao Wu snorted dismissively. "Heh heh, you'll be crying later!"

"Match begins!" The Host saw that the two fighters clearly knew each other and the atmosphere was tense, so he immediately started the battle.

---

"Second Spirit Ability—Charm!"

As soon as the match began, Xiao Wu directly used her signature ability. She knew about Dai Mubai's two amplification Spirit Abilities. If he managed to activate them, her Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop combo wouldn't be as effective.

A pink light flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, striking directly at Dai Mubai's forehead.

Dai Mubai covered his head as his vision filled with scenes from his dissolute past. He even saw twin beauties appearing beside him, touching him seductively.

Oh no!

Tang San and the others watching from the audience thought desperately. Dai Mubai didn't dodge Xiao Wu's Charm immediately. He's probably going to be taken out in one combo!

The other spectators also fell silent, sensing something was about to happen.

This little girl seems to have real skill!

Zhu Zhuqing watched Dai Mubai fall so easily for Xiao Wu's Charm. She remained silent, though the aura around her grew noticeably colder with disgust.

Xiao Wu thought to herself: As expected of "Dai the Lustful Tiger"—he fell for the Charm so easily because of his perverted nature!

Xiao Wu didn't hesitate at all. She directly used Teleport to appear behind Dai Mubai.

"First Spirit Ability—Waist Bow!"

"Instant Drop!"

"First Stage—Aerial Intercepting Spiral Drop!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Struck by Xiao Wu's powerful kick, Dai Mubai instantly sobered up, but it was already too late! He couldn't activate his amplification Spirit Abilities at all, and he couldn't break free from Xiao Wu's devastating combo in mid-air. He could only passively defend!

He subconsciously protected his vital areas with his hands, his entire body curling up like a shrimp, attempting to reduce the damage.

But would it be that easy?

"Second Stage—Six Consecutive Backflip Drops!"

The next moment, Xiao Wu directly Teleported six times in mid-air! Each Teleportation allowed her to kick Dai Mubai precisely in his most vulnerable spots. The last kick sent Dai Mubai flying to the highest point!

Xiao Wu lingered in the air gracefully for a moment, looked up with a confident smile, and said loudly enough for everyone to hear: "No one has ever tasted my final kick before. You should feel very honored!"

Ma Hongjun saw the smile on Xiao Wu's lips and felt his hair stand on end. A chill ran through his entire body. He vividly remembered the fear of being dominated by Xiao Wu's devastating kicks last time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Oscar, get your Recovery Sausage ready," Chen Sheng said casually, shaking his head with a slight knowing smile. "Dai Mubai is probably going to be seriously hurt. He might not even be able to participate in the team match later."

Dai Mubai had been too reckless. With his mental strength, he couldn't resist Xiao Wu's Charm, yet he dared to challenge her without any preparation or respect for her abilities.

Even Tang San, who cultivated Purple Demon Eye, would fall for the Charm if he didn't actively use his technique!

Not to mention anyone else!

Tang San frowned with concern. "Teacher, shouldn't we stop Xiao Wu?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head seriously. "It's too late. Xiao Wu's eighth and final kick is already positioned."

Oscar's expression grew worried. "Brother Chen, this should be enough punishment, right? Please make Xiao Wu stop! You don't want our Shrek's first team match to be affected by injured members, do you?"

"Get lost!" Chen Sheng said firmly, his expression showing clear disapproval of Oscar's attitude. "It's better to let Dai Mubai take all the damage he deserves! Maybe he'll learn something from it!"

Pfft.

Ning Rongrong, thoroughly enjoying the show, burst out laughing at Chen Sheng's blunt response.

"Oscar, aren't you being too shameless?" she added mockingly. "You could just shout for Dai Mubai to surrender to the Host from the stands. Why are you trying to make Chen Sheng stop Xiao Wu? She's fighting her own battle fairly!"

---

On the stage, Xiao Wu continued her devastating combo:

"Third Stage—1080-Degree Aerial Spinning Instant Kill Drop!"

Xiao Wu Teleported directly above Dai Mubai, spun three complete times to gather tremendous momentum, and then struck Dai Mubai's back with a powerful spinning heel kick!

BANG!

The impact was so powerful that fine cracks spread across the entire stage floor like a spider's web!

Dai Mubai groaned in agony and completely lost consciousness, falling to the cracked ground in a heap.

Throughout the entire match, he hadn't released a single Spirit Ability. He had been completely taken out by Xiao Wu's perfect combo execution!

The entire arena fell into stunned silence. The Host and all the spectators seemed to have forgotten to breathe, staring at Xiao Wu with expressions of horror and disbelief.

Holy crap!

This little girl looks so delicate and cute, and her Spirit is just a rabbit, but why is she so terrifyingly violent?!

Many of those who had just mocked Xiao Wu now had cold sweat streaming down their faces. They were deeply grateful they weren't the ones facing her in the arena!

"Host, it's time to announce the result!" Xiao Wu called out cheerfully, though her smile now seemed somewhat dangerous to the intimidated Host.

"Ah, oh! Yes!" The Host quickly recovered his composure. "Match over! Soft Bones Demon Rabbit wins!"

Xiao Wu left the unconscious Dai Mubai on the stage and walked happily back toward the stands. She came directly to Chen Sheng with a bright, proud grin.

"Brother, how was it? Wasn't I amazing?" she said excitedly. "Hehe! That Dai Mubai looked down on me, but he didn't expect to be directly knocked out by my Instant Eight Stage Drop!"

Chen Sheng gently stroked Xiao Wu's rabbit ears affectionately. "You were truly amazing! I'm very proud of you!"

『DING! DETECTED Xiao Wu's affection emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

The audience, seeing this tender scene, had their jaws drop again in shock.

Was this still the Violent Rabbit from just moments ago? In front of Chen Sheng, she was like a completely different person—soft, sweet, and adorable!

Many spectators felt like they were watching a couple, and some even started shipping them mentally.

Chen Xin watched this interaction with thoughtful eyes, noting the obvious deep bond between Chen Sheng and Xiao Wu.

『DING! DETECTED Chen Xin's Understanding concern emotion toward host. Congratulations! Reward: Treasure Chest acquired!』

Meanwhile, Flender took the Recovery Sausage Oscar had quickly made and flew directly to the stage to retrieve Dai Mubai's unconscious body.

He forcefully stuffed the Big Recovery Sausage into Dai Mubai's mouth, making him swallow it.

This action once again shocked everyone in the stands.

Wait... so these people are all from the same group?! Then why did that Violent Rabbit act so viciously toward her own teammate?!

After ensuring Dai Mubai swallowed the healing sausage, Flender turned angrily toward Xiao Wu, his voice full of accusation. "Xiao Wu! Why didn't you show any mercy? You two are classmates, after all!"

Ning Rongrong immediately stood up for her friend. "Dean, what does this have to do with Xiao Wu? Dai Mubai himself provoked this fight! His spirit power is four levels higher than Xiao Wu's, yet he was easily defeated. Whose fault is that?"

Zhu Zhuqing also spoke coldly, her voice carrying sharp judgment. "This is the natural consequence of years of dissolute behavior and underestimating opponents. Otherwise, why would he have absolutely no resistance to a simple Charm ability?"

After taking Oscar's Sausage, Dai Mubai slowly regained consciousness, though his entire body still ached terribly from the beating he'd received.
