Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 102 Assassination

"Actually, you can bend over a little."

Zhu Zhuqing made this suggestion because she knew Chen Xuan relatively well and knew that he was referring to Yu Xiaogang and others.

During this period, he was severely suppressed in the Shrek team. The qualifiers and promotion matches lasted for more than two months, and he only played three matches. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling, who played the fewest matches, played no less than ten matches each.

Zhu Zhuqing is very intelligent and can see through many things. The pressure from the academy was mainly due to Chen Xuan's own personality.

If he knew how to humble himself, learn to yield, and follow the master's philosophy like everyone else, without going against the master, then he wouldn't be deliberately targeted.

"It's different, because I've never agreed with his theory from the beginning."

Chen Xuan naturally knew this as well. If he had started flattering the master from the very first meeting, praising his theories, and treating him like a god, he would not have been ostracized. On the contrary, he could have gained the master's favor and even been accepted as a disciple.

However, he was not that kind of person. From the beginning, he believed that Yu Xiaogang was a big fraud. The core theory of the Ten Martial Souls had too many flaws. He only knew one aspect and not the other. It was as if he had taken a small section from countless books, copied it, and made it into the theory that Yu Xiaogang had written.

It may seem like a good deed, but in reality it has caused great harm and misled countless Soul Masters without family connections or backgrounds.

Countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters have failed to cultivate to level ten Soul Power, but Tang San broke through the shackles, so how could he possibly be an ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

Whether it's Blue Silver Emperor or Blue Silver Grass, their greatest characteristic is their powerful vitality, not control or toxicity.

It's obvious that in this competition, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass's poison was almost useless, lacking any counter-attribute, and the Silver Grass was no match for Feng Xiaotian. This is the undeniable reality.

Therefore, Chen Xuan firmly believes that the so-called masters were nothing but frauds from beginning to end.

The main reason Yu Xiaogang set off ahead of schedule this time was to find Bibi Dong and ask her disciple Tang San for the cultivation method of twin martial souls.

All signs prove that Yu Xiaogang not only misled his disciples, but also shamelessly went to see his ex-girlfriend. He is truly shameless.

Decades have passed, and Yu Xiaogang never thought of Bibi Dong, but now that he's in trouble, he's remembered his ex-girlfriend.

"You're too stubborn; you're easily hurt," Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly. People like this are often the ones who most easily run into obstacles.

She was worried that Chen Xuan would be ostracized, so she didn't mean to educate him. Instead, she admired him and did something she herself wouldn't dare to do.

If things continue like this, they will still face malicious pressure from the Grandmasters in the knockout stage. The All-Continent Soul Master Tournament is an honor for every Soul Master. If it is just a formality, it will be a pity.

"To remain silent and never resist is a tragedy," Chen Xuan said, staring at her as he spoke.

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. Was the other person implying something? Were they referring to her?

She shook her head, a hint of sadness creeping into her eyes. The Star Luo Empire was so vast; how could a nobody like her possibly contend with it?

Chen Xuan didn't say much. It was too early to talk about these things now. He wasn't strong enough yet, so there was no point in trying to help the other party.

For the next two days, he stayed at Shrek Academy, walking around every corner of the academy to make his presence known.

He had met each of the Seven Devils and their teachers once, to familiarize himself with them and prove that he hadn't left Shrek Academy in the past two days.

Chen Xuan felt it was about time, so he left the academy and returned to his suburban residence. He was preparing for a long journey and needed to explain some things to Chen Yiyi.

In just two days, the shadow clones have almost caught up with Yu Xiaogang, and at the same time, the limits of the clones should be nearing their end.

The day

Not long after Chen Xuan returned home, Xue Qinghe came to visit and took the opportunity to discuss some matters in detail.

This surprised him greatly; they found his address accurately and came at this particular time, which seemed very abrupt.

Xue Qinghe didn't beat around the bush; he got straight to the point and invited Chen Xuan to join the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Brother Chen, someone with your talent is exactly what our empire needs."

Chen Xuan disliked beating around the bush and asked, "Would you rather join Heavenly Dou, or become part of your forces, Crown Prince?"

Xue Qinghe's expression changed, and his heart tightened. Could it be that this kid had seen through his true identity?

He quickly dismissed the idea; it was impossible. If he had that kind of insight, he would have seen through it long ago.

"Naturally, I submit to my father, His Majesty Xueye."

"Then forget it, I've already joined another sect." Chen Xuan politely declined, wanting to see how that woman would react.

"Brother Chen, don't rush to refuse. If you want to find a way to change things, you can come find me here." Xue Qinghe didn't ask any more questions, but instead gave him an address.

Watching the other person leave, Chen Xuan had deep suspicions and felt that there was something wrong with Xue Qinghe.

They didn't ask the questions they should have asked, but asked the questions they shouldn't have. It's like they came here specifically to test the waters. Something's not right.

"Brother, who is this person?" Chen Yiyi appeared, wearing a casual dress, standing gracefully with a sweet smile on her face.

Chen Xuan explained, "The current Crown Prince."

"Ah!" Chen Yiyi covered her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise.

For ordinary people, a figure as high and mighty as the Crown Prince is someone they can't even see, let alone meet.

"Yiyi, I'm going to Wuhun City the day after tomorrow, so it won't be convenient for me to take you with me. Do you want to stay in Tiandou City or somewhere else?" Chen Xuan asked, focusing on the arrangements ahead.

The journey to Wuhun City, plus the time for the competition, would probably take one or two months, and he was worried about his sister's safety.

"Brother, I'll stay here and not go anywhere." Chen Yiyi's eyes were firm. This was her home, and it meant a lot to her.

"it is good."

Chen Xuan didn't insist; whatever Yi Yi liked was fine with him, and he would try his best to arrange the rest.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Xuan had just left home when he received a letter from that woman.

"A mission already?" He frowned slightly. Sure enough, empty promises couldn't be trusted. There wouldn't be any missions for at least a year.

Chen Xuan opened the envelope and read it carefully. There were only a few lines of small, concise writing on it.

"There was definitely something wrong."

The letter was simple: he was to pretend to accept Tian Dou or Xue Qinghe's invitation, climb to the top, and become an important general in the empire.

"Spying on me?"

Chen Xuan had this thought, but then dismissed it. If that were the case, it would only mean that the woman was incredibly powerful and had extraordinary abilities.

It's a bit far-fetched that they received word of Xue Qinghe's departure after only three hours.

Chen Xuan felt that something was off about the whole thing, that it was very unusual, and he was starting to doubt the woman's identity.

He planned to go see Xue Qinghe again tomorrow to find out the truth. Only by doing as that woman said could he know her true intentions.

"The Shadow Clone Technique has caught up with Yu Xiaogang by now, hasn't it?"

……

the other side

borders of the Heavenly Dou Empire

The vast desert stretches as far as the eye can see, its sands endless and the horizon deep and empty. As the sun sets, the horizon turns a deep crimson, evoking a sense of desolation.

Yu Xiaogang rode a white horse through the desert, leaving a trail of hoofprints behind him. He had already traveled nearly two hundred miles.

Looking at the crimson sunset, he felt a sense of desolation and unease for some reason.

"Master, we've been traveling all day, let's take a rest." It was two knights in armor who spoke.

The two men, riding two black horses and dressed in full armor with sharp swords, were bodyguards hired by Yu Xiaogang at great expense.

"OK."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, indeed feeling somewhat tired, and prepared to dismount and rest.

However, the moment he dismounted, he felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body tensed up.

Suddenly, a black dagger appeared, slicing through the air and shooting towards his head, its sharpness and ruthlessness aimed at killing him instantly.
