Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 43: The people I remembered all ended up in bad situations.

Outside the office,

Under Ren's murderous gaze and icy words, Tang San's face turned ashen, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he would flee the scene in a panic at Ren's mere signal.

He didn't dare linger for even a second and practically scurried away, fearing that Ren might suddenly change his mind and attack him.

Soon, the previously closed office door was suddenly pushed open by a tremendous force! The sound of the door hitting the wall was deafening, and the entire room seemed to tremble.

Ren strode in with an excited and frenzied expression. His figure appeared exceptionally tall in the doorway, and his blood-red eyes stood out starkly in the dimly lit room.

The moment Ren stepped into the office, his eyes seemed to pierce through people's hearts; they were a complex light that mixed fervor, indifference, and cunning.

Deep within his blood-red eyes, two invisible flames seemed to burn, leaping with a dangerous yet alluring light.

His eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of arrogance and disdain that was barely perceptible, as if everything in the world was under his control.

At the same time, with the sound of the door being pushed open,

Blade's wicked, low chuckle drifted over, his voice deep and seductive, like a demon from the abyss:

"There are five people, and three costs."

"You're one of them too."

"hehe."

On the other side, the sudden, violent sound of the door being opened almost made Yu Xiaogang jump up involuntarily; his originally calm face was now filled with terror.

When he saw those blood-red eyes and the blade that looked like a god of death descending upon the world, even though he had prepared himself mentally, Yu Xiaogang was still so frightened that his heart raced and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Memories of being brutally beaten by Ren flooded back, the pain and fear making it almost impossible for Yu Xiaogang to breathe. His mind went blank for a moment, and he had no time to think about what Ren meant.

However, Yu Xiaogang knew in his heart that Ren was the disciple he had to take in! No matter how terrifying Ren was, he was still just a child.

He suppressed his panic, trying to calm himself and prepare for this psychological battle with the blade. His eyes gleamed with determination and resolve; he knew he couldn't afford to lose this contest.

Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled slightly. He tried his best to make his voice sound steady and concerned, but the slight tremor betrayed his inner nervousness.

"It's you, Blade? Come here, sit down. I know roughly what's going on with you, and I really sympathize with you. We... we can talk."

He waved his hand, his expression somewhat stiff, and awkwardly pointed to the spot where Tang San had just sat, a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping that Ren would accept his invitation.

[Ding! System notification: Yu Xiaogang is extremely panicked and cowardly. Role-playing progress increased by 0.1%!]

[Current role-playing progress: 22.12%!!]

At this moment, listening to the system's mechanical and indifferent prompts, and looking at Yu Xiaogang's slightly comical expression due to nervousness, Ren's desire to play the role grew stronger.

The corners of his mouth curved into a more pronounced smile, and the light in his eyes became even more intense, as if he were filled with anticipation for the drama that was about to unfold.

Seeing that Ren was standing still, Yu Xiaogang mistakenly assumed that he was still hesitating about the incident with the gatekeeper, so he quickly continued:

"Blade, you don't need to worry about the gatekeeper incident."

That was purely a misunderstanding; you didn't do it on purpose, but rather it was a passive reaction.

I have already given a serious reprimand to the school administrators and warned the security guard that you will not be punished for this.

So please don't worry, come and sit down, so I can get to know you better.

Yu Xiaogang deliberately exaggerated the facts in his narration, and his words implied that his status in the academy was extraordinary.

He hoped to indirectly tell him through this method that this was a good opportunity for him to become an apprentice!

His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible pride and confidence, as he tried to attract Ren's attention with his authority and influence.

After all, coming from the countryside, one must be prepared for the countryside! Such a good opportunity doesn't come around often!

Upon hearing this, a thin, straight red light flashed in Ren's blood-red eyes, like two crimson lightning bolts streaking across them. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing an excited yet crazed smile.

A fragmented sword suddenly appeared in his hand, its blade twisted as if time itself had been shattered. He habitually held the sword in his arms, his movements practiced and natural.

His voice was deep and playful, each word seemingly carrying a hint of seduction and provocation:

"Intentional or passive misunderstanding?"

"You want to get to know me?"

"hehe."

At this moment, seeing Ren muttering to himself, Yu Xiaogang assumed he was weighing the pros and cons and might already be wavering, so he eagerly added:

"Yes! Blade, I can teach you some martial spirit secrets you've never heard of before. I have in-depth research in this field! After listening, you'll have a deeper understanding of martial spirits! And you'll definitely remember what I say. Most importantly, among so many teachers in the academy, you'll definitely remember me!"

Upon hearing this, Ren suddenly flipped his wrist and instantly drew the Fragmented Sword from his bosom. The sharp edge of the blood-red blade pointed directly at Yu Xiaogang. His eyes were blood-red like a demon, a mixture of excitement and madness, and the corners of his mouth curled into an even more sinister smile.

His voice revealed excitement, greed, and a frenzied desire, like a wild beast that had spotted its prey:

"But."

"Those I remember vividly rarely end up well."

"Hehehehehehehehe!"

For a moment, Ren's laughter echoed in the office, filled with arrogance and disdain, as if mocking Yu Xiaogang's eagerness and helplessness.

Blade's blood-red eyes were fixed on Yu Xiaogang, and the fragmented sword in his hand gleamed with a dangerous light, instantly making the atmosphere in the room extremely tense.

After the laughter echoed in the air for a few seconds, Ren suddenly stopped laughing and his gaze returned to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, clearly stunned by Ren's maniacal laughter and sudden actions; his face was filled with terror and helplessness.

Blade's gaze was as sharp as an arrow. He stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, a cold smile playing on his lips.

His voice was deep and magnetic, each word seemingly carrying a chilling killing intent, sending shivers down one's spine.

"It seems you're just as anxious as your apprentice."

His words revealed a mockery and disdain, as if he were ridiculing Yu Xiaogang's cowardice and panic.

Blade's tone carried an air of superiority, like a cat toying with its prey, both cruel and enjoying the feeling of being in complete control.

Yu Xiaogang's body trembled involuntarily. He tried to calm down, but the oppressive gaze of the blade and the broken sword pointed at him made his heart race and cold sweat pour down his face.

Blade's words were undoubtedly an implication that Yu Xiaogang's eagerness and fear had been laid bare, and that in Blade's eyes, he was nothing more than a laughable clown.
