Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Surprise, Unexpected Level Up
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong let out a scream as she felt the impact on her backside, akin to the sound of a pig being slaughtered. With an unexpected burst of strength, she was propelled forward.
What the—
The Shrek Seven Monsters, along with Flender and Zhao Wujin, stood in stunned silence at the scene before them.
No way, Mu Chen actually—
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! You have completed the minor task of the third trial of Chaos, a hidden task. You used Thousand Years Kill to teach the temperamental Ning Rongrong a lesson. You have gained the battle skill: Absorb Palm! You have gained Soul Power: 8000 points."
**Absorb Palm:** A low-level Xuan-class technique from the *Doupo* world. When perfected, it can absorb the weight of a thousand jin (approximately 500 kg). If cultivated to the pinnacle, it can even forcibly extract blood from the human body.
"Haha, the task was that simple!" Mu Chen rejoiced internally. Not only had he obtained the Absorb Palm skill, but he also received 8000 points of soul power.
But was the task truly that simple?
The answer was clearly no.
Who was Ning Rongrong? She was the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, spoiled by both the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo. If they found out about this incident involving Mu Chen, they would surely come to confront him.
However, Mu Chen had no intention of worrying about that. He had already told Flender that he would not be responsible for any consequences that arose from this.
Flender: "…"
Oscar: "…"
Flender stared incredulously at Mu Chen and then at Ning Rongrong, who looked both relieved and pained. Now he understood why Mu Chen had made that remark. He could almost visualize the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo charging at him, wielding their massive blades.
Having completed the hidden task, Mu Chen's eyes gleamed mischievously as he turned to Zhu Zhuqing. Since the conflict had already started, why not tackle another hidden task?
Mu Chen's other hidden task required him to break up Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, laying the groundwork for conquering Zhu Zhuqing.
"Oh no!"
Dai Mubai's expression changed as he realized what was happening. He rushed towards Mu Chen, intending to intervene.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, shocked by Ning Rongrong's predicament, quickly turned her attention to Mu Chen, who was approaching her. Her second soul ring lit up with a yellow glow.
**Second Soul Skill: Ghostly Claw!**
Zhu Zhuqing spun rapidly, her claws becoming sharp and deadly as she charged toward Mu Chen.
"Hmph!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with contempt.
Her claws could strike in the same spot over a hundred times, with incredible speed and destructive power. She was confident that in a direct confrontation, Mu Chen would not stand a chance.
However, Zhu Zhuqing underestimated him. Mu Chen had no intention of engaging in a head-on clash.
As Zhu Zhuqing lunged forward, she suddenly noticed that Mu Chen had vanished.
"Where did he go?"
Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brow, her body halting as she searched for Mu Chen. Behind her, a gust of wind stirred up, and she thought, "Not good."
The scene with Ning Rongrong replayed in her mind. Zhu Zhuqing attempted to kick backward to push Mu Chen away, but it was far too late. Mu Chen's speed was simply on another level.
**Secret Technique: Thousand Years Kill!**
"Ah!"
Another tantalizing scream escaped Zhu Zhuqing's lips. Following Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing also experienced the unexpected assault.
Flender: I've fought in over a hundred battles and have never seen such a crude and straightforward attack method.
Oscar: Rongrong, my goddess...
Ma Hongjun: Wow, I've learned something today. This newcomer is truly my idol!
Silence fell over the area, the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
**Soul Power +4000 Points**
Due to the shock of Flender, Zhao Wujin, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and others, Mu Chen collected another 4000 emotional points.
"You... you actually..." Ning Rongrong stammered, covering her backside with her hand, her eyes a mix of embarrassment and fury as she glared at Mu Chen. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
**Soul Power +10000 Points**
As a result of Ning Rongrong's anger and embarrassment, Mu Chen harvested another 10,000 emotional points. He was now just 10,000 points away from leveling up.
Zhu Zhuqing, too, had a flush of anger on her face. She glared at Mu Chen, her hands covering her backside as well. Unlike Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing's icy demeanor meant she didn't scream; she merely stared intently at Mu Chen.
**Soul Power +12000 Points**
Thanks to Zhu Zhuqing's anger and embarrassment, Mu Chen accumulated another 12,000 emotional points. The system's voice soon echoed in his mind.
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! Your soul power is full and has leveled up. Current Level: 35 (2000/99,000)."
"Wow, the silent Zhu Zhuqing actually gave me more emotional points than the screaming Ning Rongrong," Mu Chen thought in surprise, glancing over at Zhu Zhuqing.
The additional 2,000 points indicated that the quiet Zhu Zhuqing was even more formidable than the outraged Ning Rongrong. After all, who knew what thoughts were brewing in Zhu Zhuqing's mind?
"Now, do you still think the principal was wrong?" Mu Chen asked.
"What?" Ning Rongrong replied.
"On the battlefield, auxiliary soul masters, especially those with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile spirit, play a significant role. However, because of that, they often become the first targets." Mu Chen explained.
Ning Rongrong: "…"
Ning Rongrong looked at Flender, unable to refute Mu Chen's assertion.
"Now, do you still want your privileges?" Mu Chen pressed, not giving Ning Rongrong a moment to think. "Without the ability to protect yourself, you're simply a living target!"
Ning Rongrong: "…"
Ning Rongrong glared at Mu Chen. She had just been humiliated, and now Mu Chen was spouting such words! More importantly, she couldn't refute him.
"Dai Mubai, you!" Dai Mubai glared at Mu Chen in anger.
"Do you also want privileges? Do you want to challenge me?" Mu Chen asked, feigning ignorance with a dismissive tone.
Dai Mubai was furious, and it was understandable—Mu Chen had essentially assaulted Zhu Zhuqing, who was his fiancée. Seeing his betrothed treated so rudely would infuriate any man, especially one with a tiger spirit like Dai Mubai.
Fight?
Dai Mubai froze, meeting Mu Chen's gaze, but ultimately clenched his fists without speaking. He knew he was no match for Mu Chen; stepping in would only result in another beating.
Seeing Dai Mubai's silence, Mu Chen felt a surge of pride. With his wits, if he couldn't subdue both Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, he might as well not be a man.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she stood silently off to the side, her thoughts unreadable.
