Douluo Dalu: Seven Kill Sword

At the Shrek Academy rest area!

The atmosphere was heavy with gloom. Jiang Zhu, the healing soul master from the former Blue Tyrant Academy, was doing her best to treat the injuries of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, and the others.

While physical wounds could be healed, the emotional scars were much harder to mend. Despite all their preparations, they had been utterly crushed in the face of overwhelming strength.

Tang San sat in a corner, his head hanging low, exuding an aura that kept others at bay. He was trapped in a spiral of self-doubt, constantly questioning himself, and his mood was dark.

At this moment, his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, approached. Although he was also in a bad mood, he tried to comfort Tang San, saying, "Tang San, it's alright. You were up against a team with three Soul Ancestors and four Soul Elders. Remember this humiliation, learn from it, and come back stronger next time."

Tang San slowly raised his head, his eyes still filled with confusion. Seeing Yu Xiaogang, he voiced his despair, "Teacher, my Blue Silver Grass is ultimately a trash spirit. It can't play a decisive role in battle. I want power, Teacher. Can I start cultivating my second…"

"Enough!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious. He took two steps forward, grabbed Tang San by the shoulders, and stared into his eyes, saying, "Tang San, do you know how much hope I've placed in you? How can you say such things after all the effort I've put into training you? Yes, Blue Silver Grass is a trash spirit, but no matter what, you must at least cultivate it to the Soul King level!"

Tang San's mood grew even darker, but he nodded in agreement, "Teacher, I understand…"

Yu Xiaogang's attempt at comfort had the opposite effect. Tang San's mood worsened, and he felt a deeper sense of disgust toward his Blue Silver Grass than ever before. A trash spirit was a trash spirit—why did it have to be paired with the Clear Sky Hammer?

Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were also recovering. Once their bodies were healed, they couldn't sit still.

Dai Mubai stood up and walked away. Ma Hongjun quickly asked, "Dai老大, where are you going?"

Without turning back, Dai Mubai replied with a tone of frustration, "Into the city. I need to blow off some steam. I'm not in a good mood today."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun licked his lips, feeling the evil fire within him begin to stir, "You're right, Dai老大. I'm not feeling great either. I'll head to the brothel later."

Dai Mubai usually frequented high-end establishments, seeking enjoyment, while Ma Hongjun, due to his lack of funds, stuck to the lower-end brothels.

Jiang Zhu, who overheard their conversation, couldn't hide her disgust. She began to distance herself from them. The Blue Tyrant Academy primarily admitted commoners, and its students didn't share the same vices as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats!

Chen Yuan wasn't particularly surprised to see Shrek lose. Without the immortal herbs, their overall strength was significantly weaker. How could they compete with others? Everyone who had made it this far had once been hailed as a genius.

Soon, he noticed that Shi Nian, the leader of the Canghui Academy team, had disappeared. Chen Yuan knew this was a rare opportunity—Shi Nian was alone.

He stood up and quickly made his way through the venue, leaving the Heaven Dou Grand Spirit Arena and heading toward a remote area outside the city.

Having consumed the Gazing Dewdrop, Chen Yuan's spiritual perception was exceptionally sharp, and he could see through all kinds of illusions. This made him a perfect counter to Shi Nian's Dream Illusion.

Following the faint traces, Chen Yuan chased after Shi Nian for about ten miles outside the city. Finally, he caught up—not just to Shi Nian, but also to Dai Mubai.

???

Chen Yuan was baffled. Why was Shi Nian targeting Dai Mubai instead of Tang San?

After a moment of thought, Chen Yuan pieced it together. Shi Nian had a grudge against Shrek Academy because its members had bullied the teachers and students of Canghui Academy in the past.

The phrase "If you don't dare to cause trouble, you're mediocre" had led to the Canghui Academy's teachers and students being beaten for no reason.

Originally, Shi Nian had targeted Tang San because of his ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring. But now, Tang San was only a Soul Elder, while Dai Mubai, the only Soul Ancestor, stood out like a sore thumb.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan sighed inwardly, 'Dai Mubai, you've taken the fall for Tang San. Otherwise, it would have been Tang San who died. You weren't involved in bullying Canghui, but now you're the first to face their revenge.'

Not far ahead!

Dai Mubai grew increasingly uneasy. Why hadn't he reached Heaven Dou City after walking for so long?

Of course, he wouldn't reach it. From the start, Shi Nian had planted a suggestion in his mind, leading him to this desolate, remote area.

When Dai Mubai finally realized something was wrong, Shi Nian was ready to strike. With a cold, sinister expression, Shi Nian said, "Hehe, I love watching geniuses like you fall. The struggle before death is always so delightful. Seventh Spirit Skill, Dream Illusion True Body!"

The moment Shi Nian activated his spirit skill, Dai Mubai's eyes widened in terror. His face twisted in fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Big… big brother… please spare me. Don't take me back. I don't want to die. I don't want to die…"

Dai Mubai's body, including his limbs, began to twist unnaturally, as if he were being beaten. But in reality, he was harming himself.

He wept, he screamed, he begged for mercy… It was a truly dramatic performance, which explained why Shi Nian enjoyed watching his victims struggle before death.

"Big brother, I won't compete for the throne. Don't kill me. Don't kill…"

Before he could finish, Dai Mubai was "killed" by Dai维斯 in the illusion. In reality, Dai Mubai's heart stopped, and he died of fright.

"Hehe, what a show!"

Shi Nian savored the moment before coldly adding, "Shrek Academy, you won't be the first to die. I'll send your companions down to join you one by one!"

Just as Shi Nian was about to dispose of the body, he suddenly turned around. A flying sword shot toward him, piercing his body in an instant. His heart exploded.

Chen Yuan's third spirit skill, Sword Wings Like Wind, originally provided a 100% speed boost. Now, with the mutation of his external spirit bone, it had increased to 300%. This single strike had succeeded in killing a Soul Sage.

While there were many factors at play—Shi Nian's reliance on illusions, his lack of physical strength, and Chen Yuan's natural counter to illusions—the main reason was the overwhelming speed boost from Chen Yuan's mutated external spirit bone, the Wind and Thunder Wings, which was now comparable to a 50,000-year spirit bone. With a 300% speed boost, even Title Douluos like Chen Xin and Dugu Bo couldn't keep up with Chen Yuan.

As he lay dying, Shi Nian clutched his chest, his face filled with disbelief. He poured all his soul power into trying to stop the bleeding, but it was futile, "How… how could I die…"
