Capítulo 48: Chapter 48: Zhu Zhuqing's Heart
The night was eerily quiet, with the moonlight casting a misty silver veil over the leaves, the columns, the armrests of wicker chairs, and the faces of passersby, imparting a solemn and pure glow.
A boy and a girl walked hand in hand along a country path.
"Brother Mu Chen, do you really have to go to the City of Slaughter?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Yeah," Mu Chen nodded.
"Can't you take me with you? I'm very well-behaved," Xiao Wu said again.
"No. At least not now," Mu Chen replied.
"When can I go then?" Xiao Wu pressed.
"Do you really want to come with me to the City of Slaughter?" Mu Chen asked.
"Yes," Xiao Wu nodded.
"Do you know what kind of place the City of Slaughter is?" Mu Chen inquired.
"I've heard it's a place that holds evil people," Xiao Wu answered.
"That's not entirely correct. In the City of Slaughter, you cannot use soul skills or soul power. Once you enter, there's only one way to get out: through the Hell Road," Mu Chen explained.
"Isn't it just going through the Hell Road? You just have to walk through it," Xiao Wu said casually.
"It's not that simple. To traverse the Hell Road, you must achieve a hundred consecutive wins in the Slaughter Arena. The format of the Slaughter Arena is similar to the death matches in the Great Spirit Arena. Each match involves ten participants; the victor lives, while the loser dies. There's no second option," Mu Chen detailed.
"That sounds brutal!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, shocked.
"Yes. So, unless you can fight nine people at once without using soul power, you're better off staying here!" Mu Chen said lightly.
"Alright," Xiao Wu nodded, pausing before adding, "But can't you just not go?"
"I can't." Mu Chen shook his head.
His third trial as the Chaotic God required him to enter the City of Slaughter and traverse the Hell Road to attain the domain of the God of Slaughter. He had no choice.
Even without the third trial of the Chaotic God, Mu Chen would still seek the powerful martial spirit domain known as the God of Slaughter.
*Whoosh!*
Just as Mu Chen and Xiao Wu were talking, a rush of wind swept past them.
"Here it comes!" Mu Chen frowned and instinctively wrapped his arm around Xiao Wu's waist.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu squealed in surprise, thinking Mu Chen was about to kiss her again, her face flushing red.
**First Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws**
With Xiao Wu held close, Mu Chen spun in place to avoid the incoming attack. Yet, the claws came at him again. He had no choice but to push Xiao Wu away with one hand while leaning back in an arch, narrowly dodging the strike.
*Whoosh!*
The shadow's claws swiped again, aiming for Mu Chen.
**Wind God Leg: First Style: Catching the Wind and Shadows**
Mu Chen moved swiftly, dodging the shadow's attack. He looked at the dark figure and shouted, "Zhu Zhuqing!"
**Second Soul Skill: Nether Spike**
After failing to hit, Zhu Zhuqing spun and charged toward Mu Chen.
"Here we go again!"
Mu Chen frowned, channeling his soul power to easily evade Zhu Zhuqing's strike once more.
"Where is she?"
Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brows, shocked to find her attack had missed again.
"Oh no!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a cold breeze against her backside, sending a shiver down her spine.
For some reason, she felt a flicker of excitement coursing through her at the thought of what was to come, leaving her quite startled.
**Secret Technique: Millennium Kill**
"Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a gasp at the unexpected sensation. Once again, she found herself bested by Mu Chen's signature move.
**First Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws**
Realizing her defenses had faltered, Zhu Zhuqing, filled with embarrassment and rage, launched another attack against Mu Chen.
**Wind God Leg: First Style: Catching the Wind and Shadows**
**Secret Technique: Millennium Kill**
...
**Second Soul Skill: Nether Spike**
**Wind God Leg: First Style: Catching the Wind and Shadows**
**Secret Technique: Millennium Kill**
...
**First Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws**
**Wind God Leg: First Style: Catching the Wind and Shadows**
**Secret Technique: Millennium Kill**
...
Zhu Zhuqing, feeling a mix of anger and unfulfilled desire, continued to attack Mu Chen. Regardless of which soul skill she used, Mu Chen only responded with two techniques: Wind God Leg: First Style: Catching the Wind and Shadows, and Secret Technique: Millennium Kill.
Zhu Zhuqing lost track of how many times she had shouted. It felt as if a mysterious force compelled her to keep going, reveling in the thrill of the encounter.
After a long while, Zhu Zhuqing finally stopped her assault, not because she had conceded, but due to sheer exhaustion.
Once she calmed down, she noticed her backside was burning with an unfamiliar sensation, one she couldn't quite articulate.
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
After repeatedly being ambushed, Mu Chen was also getting annoyed. He recalled the time he had been kissing Xiao Wu when Zhu Zhuqing had unexpectedly attacked. Thinking about it made him smirk and taunt, "Are you addicted to this?"
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, unsure of what to think. It was as if she were entranced. Despite knowing she was no match for Mu Chen, she still found herself compelled to sneak attack him again and again. Was she truly addicted to this thrilling sensation?
In her eyes, there was also a hint of grievance. Although she had been taken advantage of, it always felt as if the blame lay with her.
**Soul Power +346**
Thanks to Zhu Zhuqing's mix of excitement and grievance, Mu Chen harvested an additional 346 points of negative emotion.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations! Your soul power is full, and you have leveled up. Current level: 38 (0/122,000)."
Wow, I actually leveled up!
Mu Chen felt a surge of joy. He had managed to attain a new level through such a comical method as using the Millennium Kill. Now, he was officially a level 38 Soul Master.
Noticing Zhu Zhuqing turning to leave, he asked, "Are you leaving already?"
Zhu Zhuqing paused.
"Do you want to defeat me?" Mu Chen inquired.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She had come here not only to keep an eye on Dai Mubai but also to become stronger herself.
In her mind, if she could defeat Mu Chen, she would surely be able to defeat her sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
As a member of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, she faced intense competition. In the Zhu family, there was no room for sisterly affection; survival and ascension were the only concerns. Zhu Zhuqing had nearly lost her life at the claws of Zhu Zhuyun.
"Your soul power attribute is wind, right?" Mu Chen asked.
"Yes," Zhu Zhuqing affirmed, turning to face him.
"Then accept my training. I'll teach you a self-created soul skill that can be used in direct combat," Mu Chen offered.
"Will it help me defeat you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Not necessarily. But if you don't learn that soul skill, I can confidently say you will never have hope of beating me," Mu Chen replied lightly.
At his words, Zhu Zhuqing felt a flicker of joy. The fact that "not necessarily" filled her with a peculiar sense of pride; she almost hoped she would never be able to defeat Mu Chen. If that were the case, then Mu Chen would...
The thought startled her. Could it be that she had truly become enamored with that delightful thrill?
"Alright, I accept your training," Zhu Zhuqing said seriously.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations! Five members of the Shrek Seven Devils are now willing to accept your guidance. Rewards: 5 skill points, 40,000 soul power."
"Ding Dong!"
"The system kindly reminds you that the completion of the F-level hidden task has reached five-sevenths. Keep up the good work! The more Shrek Seven Devils you teach, the greater the final rewards."
