But none of that matters.
What Flander, as the dean, found most unacceptable, and even somewhat terrifying, was that Dai Mubai was in trouble!
Moreover, it was a catastrophic disaster that was too shameful to talk about!
About a month ago.
During a break from the grueling training arranged by Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, with a gloomy face, said he wanted to go out for a walk and clear his head.
As a result, he disappeared as if he had vanished into thin air, and there was no trace of him for a full two weeks!
No matter how hard Flanders and Zhao Wuji searched in Soto, even using their underground connections, they couldn't find a trace of him.
It wasn't until late one night, half a month later, that Dai Mubai, like a ghost, staggered back to the academy.
When Flander first saw Dai Mubai, he almost didn't recognize him as the arrogant Star Luo Prince.
Dai Mubai had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, his once golden hair had become dull and lifeless, and he exuded an extremely pungent smell of blood and some indescribable nauseating odor.
What alarmed Flander the most was the change in Dai Mubai's demeanor.
The arrogance, domineering attitude, and haughtiness that came with being born into royalty have completely disappeared.
Instead, there is an extremely morbid gloom, a neurotic sensitivity, and a kind of...femininity that makes people extremely uncomfortable.
That's right, it's feminine.
As a seasoned veteran at the Soul Saint level, Flander keenly noticed the most fatal change in Dai Mubai—his masculine characteristics seemed to be disappearing, not only in the shape of his Adam's apple and the depth of his voice, but even in the extremely unnatural way he walked!
Out of concern, and in order to find out what had happened in the past two weeks, Flander had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Ma Hongjun, the fat guy who usually had a good relationship with Dai Mubai and was also his roommate, to secretly find out what was going on.
result.
This question almost caused a fatality in the boys' dormitory!
That night.
Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai, who was sitting silently in the shadows on the edge of the bed, and casually leaned over, teasing him in his extremely irritating tone:
"Brother Dai, why have you been so well-behaved lately? You've been back for several days now, how come I haven't seen you going out to the city to flirt with girls?"
"By the way, what about that amazing pair of twins you booked a while ago? Haven't you brought them back to show off? Are you feeling weak and unable to keep up? Hehehe..."
These words were like a spark, instantly igniting the powder keg in Dai Mubai's heart that had been suppressed for so long, a powder keg filled with extreme humiliation and terror!
"what--!!!"
With a piercing scream, like a wild beast's desperate cry before death, Dai Mubai's eyes turned blood red instantly. His White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him, and he slapped the unsuspecting Ma Hongjun away, sending him crashing into the dormitory wall!
Ma Hongjun was struck by this sudden and fatal attack, causing him to vomit blood and fall unconscious, while Dai Mubai went berserk, smashing everything in sight in the dormitory.
How could he possibly still be involved in extramarital affairs?!
How could he possibly still have the physical intimacy to touch those women?!
He no longer has that ability!
He's been sold!
He was treated like trash and sold to this underground black market, which caters to perverted people with unusual fetishes, for a mere two hundred gold soul coins!
Moreover, if it weren't for the obese buyer forgetting to administer the sedative beforehand in his pursuit of thrills...
He had no idea how many disgusting men had treated him like a plaything in this dark and hopeless place!
In the ten days or so that followed.
Dai Mubai hid alone in the desolate mountains outside Soto City, crying, collapsing, and self-harming like a madman.
Only after he slowly accepted the cruel fact that he had become a eunuch, a monster that was neither male nor female, did he slowly return to Shrek Academy like a walking corpse.
He dared not tell anyone about this extremely humiliating incident.
All his pride, his throne, and his future vanished completely with that kick and that dark experience.
And the culprit behind all of this...
Xuan Hao! Zhu Zhuqing!
In the shattered dormitory, Dai Mubai looked at his blood-stained hands, a chilling gurgling sound escaping his throat, his eyes filled with resentment and murderous intent that almost solidified into a tangible demon.
"I, Dai Mubai, swear..."
"In this life and the next, even as a vengeful ghost, I will tear you to pieces and sell all the women around you into the lowest brothels, so that you will never be reincarnated!!!"
……
Just as Dai Mubai was falling into the abyss of despair and resentment, transforming into a vengeful demon.
On the other side of Soto, however, lies a completely different scene.
As night falls, the Soto Arena, the most magnificent and bustling landmark in Soto City, is brightly lit and filled with the sounds of people.
The deafening cheers and the booming sounds of colliding soul skills intertwined, pushing the atmosphere here to a fever pitch.
After months of seclusion and intensive training, Xuan Hao once again led Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Na'er into this trial ground filled with bloodshed and glory.
Inside the high-end VIP box of the Grand Arena.
Xuan Hao leaned back on the soft leather sofa, looking down through the huge one-way crystal glass at the fierce battle taking place on the arena below.
"Zhu Qing, after these months of special training, the medicinal power of the immortal herb in your body has been completely absorbed, and your level 39 soul power has been completely stabilized."
"However, true strength is always composed of two core components: one's own stats and combat experience. Neither can be lacking."
"Having overwhelming basic stats without matching combat experience and adaptability is just a pretty face with no substance. Once you encounter an opponent with extremely high combat intelligence or who knows how to utilize the environment, you can easily be defeated by the underdog and capsize in an unexpected way."
Zhu Zhuqing listened attentively and nodded in deep agreement.
For the past few months, she has been sparring with Na'er every day.
She deeply felt that even with Ning Rongrong's full boost, her various stats even briefly surpassed Na'er's, but because her combat experience and timing were inferior to her opponent's, she was still completely suppressed by Na'er's elusive ice spear.
Now that she has fully adapted to her surging physical abilities and soul power, what she urgently needs next is to frantically accumulate combat experience in real life-or-death battles!
"Therefore, starting today, your training program will enter its second phase – real combat training."
Xuan Hao stood up, walked to the crystal glass, and pointed to the lower-level Soul Masters below who were fighting desperately for money and honor on the arena. "However, I have an additional restriction on you."
"You are not allowed to use your soul bones when participating in the Soul Battle in this Great Soul Arena!"
"Why?" Zhu Zhuqing didn't complain, but humbly asked for guidance.
"Because the opponents here are not worthy of you using those trump cards."
Xuan Hao crossed his arms and analyzed, "Most of the Soul Masters in the Soto Grand Soul Arena are not top geniuses from prestigious families. Their Martial Soul grades are extremely ordinary, and their Soul Ring configurations are even more uneven. In terms of raw strength, they are simply no match for you."
"However, precisely because they are of mediocre talent, they often resort to any means necessary in order to survive and win in this arena. All sorts of underhanded tricks, poisons, hidden weapons, or extremely bizarre psychological tactics are constantly emerging."
"What you need most right now is to learn how to deal with these unpredictable and underhanded tricks, and to hone your intuition for danger. If you run into trouble, just use your Soul Bone skills and crush your opponent with sheer numerical superiority..."
"While winning that way might be easy and satisfying, you won't learn anything from it. Over time, you'll develop a severe path dependency. If you encounter a peerless powerhouse on the battlefield with higher stats and stronger trump cards, you'll instantly collapse, not even knowing how to fight back!"
"Abandon shortcuts and use your most basic martial spirit and purest fighting instincts to tear your opponents apart. Only in this way can you truly grow into a top-tier agility-based assassin who inspires fear."
After listening to Xuan Hao's extremely rigorous yet insightful analysis, Zhu Zhuqing's fighting spirit instantly ignited.
"I understand."
Chapter 181 The Arrival of the Royal Fighting Team
……
Just as Zhu Zhuqing's "Sealing Battle" was in full swing at the Soto Grand Arena.
A few days later, a young team with an extraordinary demeanor and uniform, luxurious attire arrived at the main gate of the Soto Arena.
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Royal Dou Team!
Leading the team, Qin Ming, along with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and other prodigies, had just stepped into the bustling Soul Arena to register for advanced badges for their upcoming training.
While waiting to complete the formalities, in order to be well-informed, Yu Tianheng inquired with the manager of the Soul Arena about whether there were any particularly troublesome or ruthless characters in Soto City who required special attention.
Upon hearing this question, the supervisor's face instantly turned pale. He lowered his voice and warned mysteriously:
"Distinguished guests, although a few promising newcomers have recently emerged in our Soto Grand Arena, none of them are worth worrying about. The one you absolutely, absolutely must not provoke... is a ruthless star who came to our Soto City a few months ago!"
"A jinx?"
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, immediately intrigued: "How exactly does it work? Tell me."
The supervisor swallowed hard, still shaken, and said, "A few months ago, that ruthless guy brought a little girl here to participate in the Soul Battle. On the arena, that little girl actually revealed an extremely rare ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"
"As you all know, the appearance of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is a treasure that can drive countless soul masters mad. That night, those desperate criminals, underground gangsters, and even experts from the major families in the Soul Arena all became envious and followed them out of the city in groups, wanting to kill and rob them."
The supervisor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling:
"As a result, none of those who went to carry out the attack that night came back alive!"
"It is said that not only were Soul Kings and Soul Emperors slaughtered, but even several Soul Saint-level old monsters who lived in seclusion near Soto City completely vanished from the face of the earth that night!"
"What's even stranger is that after such a huge incident, with so many experts killed, that fiend and the little girl he brought were still eating and drinking and strolling around Soto City the next day as if nothing had happened! Even the bishop of our Soto City Spirit Hall was so frightened after learning about this that he ordered everyone not to provoke them!"
Upon hearing this extremely exaggerated, even somewhat horrifying, description, the rest of the Royal Fighting Team couldn't help but gasp.
They slaughtered all the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors overnight, and even silenced the Soul Saints without a sound, leaving the Spirit Hall speechless.
When did such an unreasonable monster appear in Soto City?!
however.
As Dugu Yan listened, her emerald green eyes gradually brightened.
He acts without restraint, is ruthless and brutal, and possesses unfathomable depths that even the Spirit Hall fears him...
With such a distinctive modus operandi and style of operation, Dugu Yan could guess who it was even with her toes!
"Xuan Hao! He's absolutely that heartless bastard!"
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth inwardly. When they parted ways in Tiandou City, Xuan Hao had indeed mentioned to her that he was coming to Soto City to find Ning Rongrong, the little witch from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
She thought that Xuan Hao would return to Tian Dou City after picking up Ning Rongrong, but she didn't expect that this guy had been staying in this remote Soto City for the past few months and had caused such a big commotion!
but……
A crucial detail that the supervisor had just described suddenly flashed through Dugu Yan's mind.
