Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 52 Crushing the Ming King, Entering the Star Dou

"Lang Lei, are you really going to stop me?" Although his battle with Lang Lei was just a friendly spar, even if he were to go all out, he wasn't confident he could defeat Lang Lei in a short time. His student couldn't wait, so he preferred that Lang Lei step aside as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, Senior Zhao, but I just like to uphold justice and help those in need when I travel the world." Lang Lei smiled.

"You!" Zhao Wuji knew that this battle might be unavoidable, so he no longer held back.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Form, Mighty Vajra Bear!"

Upon seeing that this was a battle between Soul Saints, the people around didn't have time to be shocked and quickly fled the area. After all, this wasn't the Great Soul Arena, and their safety couldn't be guaranteed.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Location Tracking!"

"Second Soul Skill, Mighty Vajra Palm!"

Lang Lei stood still, barely moving, one hand behind his back and the other outstretched, easily catching Zhao Wuji's fist.

"You've gotten stronger again?!"

"People always improve, right?" Lang Lei threw Zhao Wuji back again.

Zhao Wuji's face was grim. He no longer pursued defeating Lang Lei, as he estimated that he couldn't do it, since the opponent hadn't even activated his Martial Soul yet.

Therefore, Zhao Wuji changed his strategy and tried to bypass Lang Lei to attack Ye Zhi Qiu.

That guy is different from Lang Lei; he'll basically lose his ability to move if he takes a full-force hit from Zhao Wuji.

"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

After activating his third soul skill to restrict Lang Lei's movements, Zhao Wuji began trying to bypass Lang Lei.

"First Soul Skill, Thousand Transformations Shaping".

Finally, Lang Lei activated his Martial Soul in front of Zhao Wuji for the first time.

Several chains formed by Lang Lei's soul skill shot out, bound Zhao Wuji, and threw him back.

Although Lang Lei's current martial soul is the Autumn Burial Dragon King, this first soul skill is still as easy to use as an extension of his own arm.

This time, Zhao Wuji did not immediately attack back, but looked at Lang Lei's three spirit rings in horror.

black!

black!

red!!

Fortunately, Ye Zhi Qiu was also shocked and looked at Lang Lei with disbelief.

"What are you looking at? Keep doing your thing!" Lang Lei reminded him, and Ye Zhi Qiu finally came to his senses.

"What a monster..." Zhao Wuji couldn't help but complain.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Zhao."

Several chains swayed behind Lang Lei, locking onto Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Dai Mubai and the others who were being brutally beaten behind Lang Lei, gritted his teeth, and tried to charge at Ye Zhi Qiu again.

Lang Lei stood still, and the chains flew out again, throwing Zhao Wuji back.

After a few attempts, even Lang Lei got bored and yawned several times, while Zhao Wuji continued to look for angles to break through.

"This makes it seem like I'm some kind of villainous big boss," Lang Lei muttered to himself.

Suddenly, during a moment of carelessness by Lang Lei, Zhao Wuji suddenly rushed forward at a speed far greater than before, dodging Lang Lei's chains.

The next instant, the [Dual Heaven of Ice and Fire] swept out, and Zhao Wuji's soul skill suddenly stopped, even his Martial Soul True Body was suppressed back.

The 50% reduction in movement speed made Zhao Wuji even slower than before, and then Lang Lei threw Zhao Wuji back again.

"Um?"

Everything ended in the blink of an eye, and only then did Lang Lei realize that he had subconsciously used his domain.

The most shocked person was Zhao Wuji, who was surprised that the young man in front of him actually had a domain-type skill!

Moreover, apart from the first spirit ring, none of the other spirit rings were lit up, which means that this is most likely the talent domain of the martial spirit!

The boy's talent once again surpassed Zhao Wuji's expectations, and he suddenly felt that he should go back to sleep...

There's no chance of winning!

"Uh, I didn't realize it just now and subconsciously used the domain. How about you stand in that spot and I grab you again? Of course, without the domain." Lang Lei chuckled. "Wait, I don't think I said we couldn't use other skills. Sorry, sorry, let's continue."

Zhao Wuji was completely dumbfounded. Turns out, the other person was just playing a game!

"Fine, fine, I admit defeat today. Hey! You old bastard over there, if you dare to hurt my student, I, Immovable King Zhao Wuji, will personally come to Canghui Academy to demand an explanation!"

Seeing that he could not get past Lang Lei's obstruction, Zhao Wuji made a harsh statement to Ye Zhi Qiu.

Upon hearing the name of Fudo Myo-o, Ye Zhi Qiu paused, his hands, which had been gripping the fight with great enthusiasm, momentarily still.

Although he only wanted to teach the students of Shrek Academy a lesson, to let them know what it means to have trouble with your words, he was still a little scared when he encountered such a ruthless person.

Ye Zhi Qiu and Zhao Wu Ji both looked at Lang Lei, who was standing in the middle, wanting to see what he was thinking.

Lang Lei shrugged indifferently, but still said a few words in Ye Zhi Qiu's defense: "Senior Zhao, this Teacher Ye was also disciplining your students for you. Even if he didn't do anything special, he certainly put in the effort. It's not appropriate for him to cause trouble for others, is it?"

The frame is biased!

Zhao Wuji shouted inwardly, clenching his fists as he looked at Lang Lei, who had a half-smile on his face.

Soon, the Shrek boys' faces were covered in bruises.

Ning Rongrong and the others were also in bad shape. Ye Zhi Qiu had been using his soul power to suppress them the whole time, and now their whole bodies were aching, but not to the point of disfigurement.

It seems Ye Zhi Qiu is also someone who discriminates...

After Lang Lei finished reprimanding Ye Zhi Qiu, he walked towards Dai Mu Bai.

"What, what are you going to do?" Dai Mubai looked at Lang Lei slowly walking towards him in horror, as if he could see his great-grandmother beckoning to him.

"I told you, didn't I?" Lang Lei smiled, but the smile was icy. "Stay away from me. Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you! Even if I come looking for you, you better stay away!"

"You, you're being unreasonable!"

"Hmph, not causing trouble is the mark of a mediocre person, isn't that your motto?" Lang Lei retorted. "I was merely giving them a taste of their own medicine. What, are you scared now?"

"besides……"

"In your eyes, I'm a bad person, right?" Lang Lei smiled sinisterly.

"It's common knowledge that bad people are unreasonable and untrustworthy!"

A barrage of punches rained down on Dai Mubai, who screamed in agony once more, a sound that terrified Ye Zhi Qiu.

Zhao Wuji wanted to stop them, but after thinking about it, he sighed and left. He just wanted to make sure they weren't killed...

Lang Lei certainly wouldn't kill Dai Mubai. After all, Little Gretchen was still eating in the restaurant and might notice the outside at any time. If she saw him kill someone, Lang Lei would feel very uncomfortable, as if he would be defiling something.

At most, it will prevent Dai Mubai from entering the Star Dou Great Forest. Anyway, this guy won't have much impact on the plot and won't affect his plans.

the next day--

After booking a guest room for Dai Mubai at the inn and sending a letter to Flander, Zhao Wuji led the other six people into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Directly above them, four people were quietly watching the group below.
