Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 27 Winning Over

When Luo Chen finished dealing with this little incident and was about to return to his dormitory, he discovered that Tai An, who had slipped away earlier, had been watching the show from the doorway. Seeing Luo Chen return, Tai An couldn't help but give him a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile and said:

"Bro, it's not good to treat girls so roughly. Nobody will love you if you act like that. Be gentler next time!"

These words amused Luo Chen. He hadn't expected that the seemingly honest Tai An was actually such a warm-hearted man. But unfortunately for him, Luo Chen wasn't the type to be easily swayed by beautiful women.

Having lived two lives, Luo Chen's mental age is now actually over thirty. How could he be affected by trivial matters between men and women? If he were to hesitate and waver over such a small matter, wouldn't he have wasted all these years?

However, Luo Chen only smiled at Tai An's words and did not say anything. Everyone has their own views on relationships, and he did not intend to stifle Tai An's longing for love.

"So what did that girl say to you that made you so angry that you even released your martial spirit?"

Seeing that Luo Chen ignored his joke, Tai An was not annoyed and asked again.

However, Luo Chen sighed, a helpless expression on his face, and replied:

"I'm not really angry, I just taught that ill-mannered girl a lesson. After what happened today, her attitude towards me should be much better from now on, but..."

"But what?"

"However, those girls were all from my class, and among them were two two-ring Soul Masters and one three-ring Soul Venerable. The three-ring Soul Venerable who was leading them was trying to win me over, but I rejected him directly, which indirectly offended them all."

"That blonde girl is no ordinary person. Not only is she a three-ring Soul Master, but she also knows how to form cliques and build momentum for herself at such a young age. I embarrassed her in front of everyone today, so I guess no girl in the class will talk to me anymore..."

As he spoke, Luo Chen chuckled and, unusually, cracked a joke.

He wasn't very interested in children's games and didn't like being in groups. He preferred to be alone rather than rely on the strength of a group, which was why he declined Ning Tian's invitation.

Even if he were to be ostracized by the girls in his class as he had just joked, he wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it. In order to achieve success in the academy and obtain more cultivation resources, one must ultimately rely on one's own strength, not these childish tricks.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. It's just a three-ring Soul Master, Brother Luo Chen. With your talent and strength, who in our class would dare to disrespect you?"

"My dad always told me that respect is earned through your own efforts. As long as you're strong enough, you don't need to give face to anyone. If anyone dares to object, just beat them into submission!"

Hearing Luo Chen's joking words, Tai An smiled and said.

In his view, forming cliques is something only the weak do, while the strong never need to do it deliberately, because they will never lack followers simply by virtue of their own strength!

In his view, Luo Chen in front of him clearly belonged to the ranks of the strong.

"Haha, Brother Tai'an is right, I think so too. Since there's still time before school starts, how about we go grab a couple of drinks together?"

Seeing that Tai'an was so to his liking, Luo Chen also had the idea of ​​getting to know him, so he couldn't help but speak to him.

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Tai An's eyes first lit up with excitement, but then his expression turned somewhat strange as he spoke:

"That's certainly possible, but do you sell drinks at our academy? I didn't know that."

"Haha, of course they don't sell these, but I brought some with me. There's no rule in the college that says students aren't allowed to bring their own alcohol."

Luo Chen smiled and pointed to the bracelet-like storage soul tool on his wrist, then spoke.

This storage soul tool was given to him by Bei Bei when he first joined the Tang Sect. Originally, Tang Ya wanted to give him a belt-shaped storage soul tool, which was said to be modeled after the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, the first Tang Sect Master. However, Luo Chen did not want it.

The soul guide storage bracelet with three cubic meters of storage space that Bei Bei gave him was enough for him to use, so Tang Ya gave the replica of the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon to Huo Yuhao, who had just joined the Tang Sect.

"Well... the academy doesn't say anything about not being allowed to bring alcohol, but if a patrolling teacher catches you, you can't escape a scolding, right?"

As Tai'an spoke, his expression showed some hesitation, but the glistening saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

Seeing this, Luo Chen smiled.

"Let them scold us. Rules are rules, but people are flexible. I don't believe the academy will expel us for such a small thing. Let's go drinking in Shrek City outside the academy. That way, even if the teachers catch us, they can't do anything about it!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Tai An also felt that they made sense, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes. Then, he urged Luo Chen in a somewhat urgent tone.

……

Just as Luo Chen and Tai An practically ran out of the dormitory, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were standing in the corridor with a group of female students, both had rather unpleasant expressions on their faces.

They hadn't expected that Luo Chen, who seemed to be only good at controlling soul skills, would actually be so strong in combat. Not only did his soul power level exceed their expectations, but he was also able to suppress Wu Feng, who possessed a top-tier offensive beast martial soul, in an instant.

Thinking of this, Ning Tian couldn't help but frown. She was now somewhat regretful. If she had known that Luo Chen was so powerful, she shouldn't have acted so impulsively just now. At the very least, she should have investigated Luo Chen's strength before making any plans.

But it's too late to say anything now. Today's events have directly put Luo Chen on the opposite side. If it were an ordinary student, it wouldn't matter, but the strength that Luo Chen just displayed was something that even Ning Tian, ​​a three-ring Soul Master, wasn't very confident in defeating.

It really backfired.

Seeing that Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both bowing their heads and remaining silent, a gentle-looking girl with long light green hair spoke up from the crowd:

"Sister Ning Tian, ​​since things have come to this, we don't need to waste any more energy. What we need to do now is prepare for the class committee election after the start of the semester."

"Once we take control of the class, no matter how much that handsome guy doesn't get along with us, as long as he's still in the class, he'll have no choice but to follow our lead and won't be able to have much of an impact on us..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian first turned to look at Wu Feng beside him, who was still staring blankly, not yet recovered from his shock. Then he sighed and said:

"Easy for you to say. Even if I succeed in being elected class monitor, so what? I've already investigated the backgrounds of all the freshmen classes. Besides our Class 9, there are two other classes with students at the Three-Ring Soul Master level!"

"Both of these two are, without exception, three-ring Soul Masters with offensive-type Martial Souls. Their strength is far beyond what Wu Feng and I can compare to. Moreover, according to the information I've gathered, there might even be Martial Soul Fusion Techniques in this year's freshman assessment!"

As he spoke, Ning Tian glanced at the female student who had spoken earlier, a helpless expression appearing on his face, before saying:

"So, Yoona, you understand now, right? If we want to win the freshman assessment, we have no choice but to try to win him over, or at least make sure he doesn't affect our freshman assessment competition..."

After Ning Tian finished speaking, the green-haired girl he had specifically mentioned looked enlightened. After pondering for a moment, she put on a friendly smile and said:

"Then, Sister Ning Tian, ​​let me try to win him over. As long as it helps you win the freshman assessment, it'll be worth it no matter what!"

Upon hearing Nanmen Yun'er's words, Ning Tian instantly understood her meaning. He looked at her expression and paused for a moment before hesitatingly asking:

"But Yoona, isn't this sacrifice a bit too much for you?"

However, Nanmen Yun'er's expression remained unchanged in the face of Ning Tian's words, still beaming with smiles, as she responded in a soft voice:

"It's okay, Sister Ning Tian. I'll do anything to help you. Besides, I don't think I'm losing out. That guy is pretty handsome, and he's quite my type, hehe..."

As she spoke, Nanmen Yun'er chuckled like a lovesick fool, not only did an unnatural blush appear on her pretty face, but her eyes also became somewhat dazed, causing Ning Tian's eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

Are you sure you're doing this to help me?
