Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 71 Shrek's Bully of the Weak and Flander's Obsequiousness
"Hongjun, how are you feeling now?"

After Ma Hongjun came out, Flander asked with concern.

Zhu Zhuqing's attack seemed to be quite severe, but it didn't fundamentally harm Ma Hongjun. After treatment, Ma Hongjun recovered quickly.

"My injury has almost healed, I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

"Don't say that. We're all brothers. Anyone who dares to hurt you is an enemy of all of us," Tang San comforted him.

As a girl, Xiao Wu actually disliked Ma Hongjun's behavior.

But Tang San had no objections, so she took it for granted. After all, how could Tang San be wrong?

"By the way, Fatty, is the girl who injured you really younger than you?" Tang San asked.

Ma Hongjun replied:

“She’s definitely no older than me. I’ve been with countless women, and I can tell the difference between someone who is truly young and someone who just looks young.”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Tang San's eyes.

He paid a heavy price to cultivate twin martial souls simultaneously, but also reaped considerable rewards.

Therefore, he became particularly bothered when he heard that other talents were close to or even surpassed his.

He's worked so hard, why should anyone else be able to catch up with him so easily?

He absorbed the soul bone and added a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. While forcibly suppressing the mismatch between his soul and body, he also made his personality and state closer to the Tang San before he transmigrated.

"Dean, shouldn't we go and get revenge for Fatty?"

Dai Mubai was longing to see the two sisters that Ma Hongjun had mentioned, and couldn't wait to go there immediately.

“Let’s go, there’s no time to lose, let’s go right now,” Flander decided.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Let's bring Zhao Wuji and the others along too. There might be some powerful figures in this Netherworld Palace."

Flanders nodded and said, "Okay."

……

[The Fifth Test of the Underworld Emperor: The Judgment of Souls.]

[Under the watchful eyes of the masses, five soul trials were conducted on those favored by the current destiny of the Douluo Continent, to demonstrate the duties of the underworld and to determine the sins of the departed souls.]

Inside the hall, after absorbing the soul rings and soul bones, Ning Qiuyang faced the fifth divine test from the Yin Emperor.

A golden vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, making Ning Qiuyang look more dignified and solemn.

Ning Qiuyang closed his eyes and tried to observe the outside world using the Netherworld Eye located between his eyebrows.

From the perspective of the Netherworld Eye, the world is mostly gray, with only various energies displaying different colors and their flow patterns clearly visible.

Seeing through the essence of things is merely an additional ability of the Netherworld Eye.

Suddenly, Ning Qiuyang sensed a noisy commotion outside the Underworld Palace. He used his Netherworld Heavenly Eye to look, and all the barriers seemed to disappear. He could directly see several humanoid energies of varying strengths outside.

One of the energy entities felt somewhat familiar to Ning Qiuyang.

"Who is this? It looks like Tang San?"

Outside the palace of the underworld, Ma Hongjun pointed to this peculiar place and said:

"right here."

"The Underworld? What kind of nonsensical name is that?" Dai Mubai said. "What's this place for? Is it some small sect?"

Ma Hongjun shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just glanced over and didn't notice anything before those two women spotted me."

Tang San didn't speak.

Upon arriving here, he felt vaguely uncomfortable, and his soul even trembled, as if he was terrified of this place.

He immediately became somewhat anxious.

Ever since his soul began to have problems, he has been in a state of anxiety, and his mentality has become increasingly extreme, making him prone to anger.

I'm going to tear down this lousy place.

Tang San's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his disgust for the Underworld Palace reaching its peak.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Xiao Wu kept a close eye on Tang San and keenly noticed his change. "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

"Brother, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Xiao Wu disregarded the interests of all the soul beasts for Tang San's sake, and even used their years of affection to threaten Da Ming and Er Ming into helping her. Her heart was entirely devoted to Tang San.

"Okay, I won't let anyone hurt you either."

Tang San held Xiao Wu's hand, but the words Tang Hao had said to him after sending him to Shrek Academy kept echoing in his mind.

“Little San, soul bones are too difficult to produce. Apart from the 30,000-year soul bone you absorbed and the 50,000-year soul bone I temporarily put away for you, you only obtained three 10,000-year soul bones.”

"Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone can greatly improve your physical strength, far exceeding the combined effect of these 10,000-year-old soul bones. Whether or not you want to find a way to make Xiao Wu sacrifice herself for you is up to you."

Tang San quickly shook his head, trying to banish Tang Hao's words from his mind.

I absolutely cannot sacrifice Xiao Wu unless it is a last resort.

"Sister, that chubby boy really did bring his men."

Inside the hall, Zhu Zhuqing spotted Ma Hongjun and the others as soon as they arrived.

"There are quite a few people here, a large group of them, young and old. It seems they've come for revenge. Go and inform Qian Renxue quickly."

Ning Qiuyang went into seclusion, and they all knew that Qian Renxue was the strongest.

Outside, Flander took the lead and said:

"Come with me to explore any strange or inexplicable places."

He felt a strong threat as soon as he stepped onto the first step and quickly dodged backward.

"Only the dead can enter this door."

Flanders and the others looked up and saw a blonde woman standing outside the Underworld Palace, coldly watching them.

Qian Renxue's strength has improved a lot in the past few years.

Her Angelic Martial Soul can now freely switch between dark and light forms, and her Soul Power has reached level 79, just one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

"Fatty, is this one of the two women you mentioned?"

Dai Mubai asked in surprise.

Qian Renxue gave them the feeling that she was even more powerful than Flander, but judging from her age, she should only be in her early twenties.

Ma Hongjun shook his head repeatedly.

"No, it's not her. I'd be crazy to provoke such a powerful woman."

Dai Mubai thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but he dared not entertain any lewd thoughts. Qian Renxue's powerful aura alone made him feel breathless.

Flander's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, how could there be such a strong woman in this godforsaken place?

Although he did not directly fight Qian Renxue, he felt immense pressure from her, which made him afraid to confront her.

"Sir, we are here to apologize. There is a misunderstanding between you and our student Ma Hongjun. I brought him here to make amends."

One of Shrek Academy's educational philosophies is that a Soul Master who dares not cause trouble is mediocre.

However, what they mean by "causing trouble" is bullying the weak and fearing the strong; they would never dare to provoke trouble when faced with someone stronger than themselves.

Flanders was very adaptable; when he was in trouble, he would say it was an apology.

"A misunderstanding?" Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing also came out.

"Hey fatso, my sister kindly spared your life, and you still dare to come here? I think you really don't know what's good for you."

Ma Hongjun hid behind the crowd, instinctively feeling somewhat fearful.

"We meet again."

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the hall.

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at the person inside the hall.

"It's you?"
