Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 45 I challenge you to a duel!

The person Jiang Nannan saw was naturally Lin Yun.

Everyone else's grilled fish was unseasoned, but Lin Yun's was made with high-tech ingredients that he added a lot of.

"Junior, you still remember me?" Jiang Nannan smiled gently, but when she saw the grilled fish in Lin Yun's hand, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

It smells so good!

"Of course I remember, my memory is pretty good," Lin Yun said casually. Noticing Jiang Nannan's gaze, Lin Yun raised the grilled fish in his hand and teased with a smile, "Senior, are you craving some grilled fish? Want to try it?"

Jiang Nannan nodded somewhat shyly.

"This flavor is really appetizing. If you don't mind, could you sell me one?" Jiang Nannan said softly.

"Sure, here you go." Lin Yun waved his hand, then used his soul power to blow away most of the seasoning from one of the grilled fish and handed it to Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why Lin Yun was doing this.

"My seasonings are not something ordinary people can handle. You can see the consequences if an ordinary person eats them, senior." Lin Yun chuckled and pointed to the two unfortunate senior students who were still bleeding profusely.

Jiang Nannan looked in the direction Lin Yun pointed and then burst out laughing.

The two innocent victims, one yellow and one purple, couldn't sit still any longer and quickly covered their noses as they squeezed out of the crowd.

They both had a premonition that after tonight, they would probably be the source of a lot of laughter for their class for a long time to come!

"How much is the grilled fish, junior? I'll pay you right now," Jiang Nannan said as she took the grilled fish from Lin Yun.

"Huo Yuhao's price is five copper soul coins per piece. Considering his excellent craftsmanship, I think this price is quite reasonable," Lin Yun said.

Five...

Jiang Nannan's heart skipped a beat, but she still gritted her teeth and handed Lin Yun five copper soul coins.

This price is a bit extravagant for her. She would have been happy with two or three coins, but having grown accustomed to a life of hardship, she would subconsciously be frugal. Normally, she would never spend extra money on food.

But since she had already received the fish, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay.

Lin Yun didn't pretend to be generous and naturally accepted Jiang Nannan's money. He and Jiang Nannan were not related; they had only met once when they enrolled in school. Being able to share a grilled fish with Jiang Nannan was already very generous of him.

Not to mention he had already sprinkled seasoning on the grilled fish. Those seasonings alone were probably worth dozens of gold soul coins. Otherwise, those two bastards wouldn't have gotten nosebleeds right after eating it.

That's a sign that they've overdone it.

The seasonings alone would probably speed up Jiang Nannan's cultivation for several days. As for those two bastards who overdosed on the supplements, they could only taste them; the supplements caused them to bleed from their noses.

Unaware of the inside story, Jiang Nannan breathed a sigh of relief after paying and took a small bite of the grilled fish with a clear conscience.

Overwhelmed by the shadows of the past, Jiang Nannan was unwilling to owe anyone favors, nor did she want to be forced to do things she didn't want to do again.

Her thoughts were similar to Lin Yun's. The two were not related, not even friends, and had only met a few times at most.

If Lin Yun were to treat her to grilled fish, she definitely wouldn't accept it. But if it's bought, even if it seems a bit expensive to her, she can still eat it with peace of mind.

I owe no one anything.

The grilled fish, with its slightly crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh, bursts with unparalleled deliciousness when combined with Lin Yun's seasonings. It's a double treat for both the taste buds and the sense of smell.

Jiang Nannan's eyes widened in surprise and delight; she felt this was the most delicious food she had ever eaten.

"It tastes good, doesn't it?" Lin Yun laughed heartily, took a big bite of half a fish, and squinted his eyes contentedly.

"It's really delicious! These five copper soul coins are well worth it!" Jiang Nannan said happily.

Great, I didn't waste money today!

The pursuits of a penny-pincher are so simple, unpretentious, and boring.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the crowd, a tall young man in a black school uniform clutched his chest in obvious pain.

To Lin Yun and Jiang Nannan, and even to the people around them, it was just a normal and tactful conversation. But to the tall young man, the two seemed to be surrounded by pink bubbles.

The sight of Lin Yun and Jiang Nannan chatting and laughing was like a knife to his heart.

Especially since both of them had bright golden hair, Xu Sanshi thought they looked more like a golden couple.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

"Nannan, why?!"

Xu Sanshi's face immediately contorted with pain, and the bustling and prosperous snack street appeared desolate and dilapidated in his eyes.

Didn't we agree that we weren't close? Didn't we say that we hadn't seen each other since the start of the semester?

Why are we suddenly so close?!

Do not! ! !

"Kid! Get out of my way and stay away from Nan Nan!" Xu Sanshi suddenly let out a sharp shout, forcefully parting the crowd with his powerful hands, and strode angrily closer.

The moment Jiang Nannan heard that voice, the smile on her face froze, and her expression visibly darkened.

Other onlookers also subconsciously turned their gaze toward Xu Sanshi's position.

A large hand, with great force, grabbed Lin Yun's collar from behind, seemingly intending to pick him up and throw him away.

Lin Yun didn't even turn around. He simply blocked the thick arm with a casual backhand. No matter how hard the owner of that big hand tried, he couldn't move it an inch.

"What are you barking like a dog?" Lin Yun's smile slowly faded, and he turned around expressionlessly, looking directly into Xu Sanshi's eyes, which were filled with anger.

It's your business if you like to be a sycophant, but you've messed with me, so you're just blind!

Those who provoke the Dragon King's might will pay the price in blood!

Huo Yuhao, who had been idly idling by the side, shivered when he heard Lin Yun utter those six words again.

The last time they heard those six words was when Lin Yun said them, and their freshman class's Soul Emperor homeroom teacher was punched into a pulp by Lin Yun with two punches.

Hearing those six words again, Huo Yuhao instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Oh no, another victim is about to get a beating from Lin Yun!

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look at Xu Sanshi with sympathy. He didn't think Xu Sanshi could beat Lin Yun; he would definitely be the one who got beaten up.

Xu Sanshi, who was still shocked by Lin Yun's formidable strength, felt his anger rise even higher after hearing Lin Yun's emotionless words.

"Boy, I challenge you to a duel! Do you dare come with me to the Soul Arena?!"
