Capítulo 52: Chapter 52: Ten Times Double Card
Ye Zhiqiu scrutinized Mu Chen from head to toe, unable to sense his soul power. Given Mu Chen's young age—only about twelve years—Ye Zhiqiu assumed that his cultivation couldn't be very high. With this thought, he squinted and mocked, "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure," Zhao Wujin confidently nodded.
"Alright then, little guy, let's have a match. Since you don't want to break your own hand, I'll just have to break both of yours," Ye Zhiqiu said coldly.
"This...?" Mu Chen hesitated for a moment.
Hesitation?
To the Canghui Academy members, it looked like Mu Chen was afraid. But only the members of Shrek Academy understood that Mu Chen was merely dismissive.
"This teacher from Shrek Academy is such a coward!"
"Yeah, he doesn't dare to take action himself and sends his students to fight!"
"That guy has five soul rings; that boy's hands are finished!"
The patrons in the tavern whispered among themselves, hiding from the confrontation and not believing Mu Chen could handle the situation.
"Mu Chen, you should take this one. Although the academy can't command you, you are their half-teacher. Surely you don't want your students to be bullied," Zhao Wujin urged passionately. He wanted to see if Mu Chen had any other abilities.
"Alright." Mu Chen glanced at Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others before fixing his gaze on Ye Zhiqiu. "Let me fight you, old tortoise!"
**Old tortoise?**
"What did you just say?"
Ye Zhiqiu's anger flared at Mu Chen's words. Every dragon has its reverse scale; for Ye Zhiqiu, that scale was the term "tortoise."
"Please... please don't fight in my little tavern. I beg you, take it outside! I have an elderly parent and young children to care for. I can't afford to lose this tavern!" the tavern owner pleaded.
"Hmph."
Ye Zhiqiu retracted his soul power and martial spirit, turning to leave. "I'll wait for you outside."
"No need," Mu Chen said dismissively.
"Young master, I'm begging you!" The tavern owner looked at Mu Chen with pleading eyes.
"I can finish this fight in ten seconds; there's no need to go outside. If anything gets broken, I'll pay for it," Mu Chen stated calmly.
Now that Mu Chen had money—300,000 gold soul coins—he considered himself a minor wealthy individual. He could buy the entire tavern if he wanted.
"Are you sure about that?" Ye Zhiqiu smirked, his eyes filled with derision.
"I'm sure. On the contrary, it's you from Canghui Academy who dares to cause trouble but has no money to compensate. If you can't pay, then don't come out acting tough!" Mu Chen taunted.
Uh-oh!
Ye Zhiqiu's expression changed to one of shock, quickly replaced by a fierce determination. It was one thing to be insulted; it was another to be threatened. The green aura of his spirit power surged around him, forming a shell-like armor.
"Teacher, beat him!"
"Teacher, go for it!"
"Teacher, avenge us!"
The students from Canghui Academy, who had been left on the ground by Xiao Wu, cheered for Ye Zhiqiu.
**Soul Power +560**
Fueled by Ye Zhiqiu's anger, Mu Chen harvested 560 points of soul power. Though not much, it was still a contribution toward the 130,000 points he needed for his next upgrade.
"Old tortoise, I'll give you a chance. You can choose to break your own hands and forfeit your cultivation, ensuring you will no longer be a spirit master. If I have to intervene, you'll lose both your hands and feet," Mu Chen said coolly.
"You little brat! You dare to talk like that in front of me, Ye Zhiqiu? I've decided—I'll break your hands and feet!" Ye Zhiqiu replied coldly.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Zhiqiu lunged forward to attack Mu Chen. His fists cut through the air with a sharp sound.
"Too slow!"
Mu Chen moved slightly, easily dodging Ye Zhiqiu's attack thanks to his Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Ye Zhiqiu attacked several times, but he couldn't land a hit on Mu Chen, tiring himself out instead.
**First Soul Skill: Xuan Turtle Enveloping**
**Second Soul Skill: Xuan Water Freezing**
With no other options, Ye Zhiqiu was forced to use his second soul skill, launching a chilling wave of water toward Mu Chen.
*Whoosh!*
Once again, Mu Chen easily evaded the attack with his Sharingan and closed the distance to Ye Zhiqiu.
**Third Soul Skill: Xuan Water Surge**
As Ye Zhiqiu activated his third soul skill, yellow light surrounded him, and the cold air intensified, causing the ground to freeze rapidly. Even Mu Chen, who was close to him, found himself encased in ice.
"Hahaha! You're done for, brat! Where can you escape now? It's over!" Ye Zhiqiu gloated.
"Brother!" Xiao Wu cried out, wanting to jump in, but Zhao Wujin held her back.
"Don't worry. This kid hasn't even used his martial spirit. He can handle an old tortoise like this," Zhao Wujin assured her with confidence.
*Crack!*
As Ye Zhiqiu's fist came crashing down, the ice binding Mu Chen began to crack. In an instant, it shattered into countless pieces, scattering everywhere.
"You broke free?!"
Everyone in the tavern gasped in shock, staring at Mu Chen, who had effortlessly escaped being frozen.
"That's right, it's over," Mu Chen's voice echoed in Ye Zhiqiu's ear. This time, Mu Chen didn't dodge; he met Ye Zhiqiu's fist head-on.
**Advanced Mysterious Combat Skill: Eight Extremes Collapse**
*Bang! Bang!*
A thunderous explosion rang out as Ye Zhiqiu's green turtle shell cracked under the force. He was sent hurtling out of the tavern window, crashing to the ground outside with a loud thud.
When everyone rushed outside, they found Ye Zhiqiu bleeding from the corner of his mouth, struggling to stand.
"You won," Ye Zhiqiu said, his voice strained.
"Of course. With a ten-year soul ring, you think you can compete with me?" Mu Chen mocked, stepping closer to Ye Zhiqiu.
"I concede. We're leaving!" Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand, unable to remain in the tavern any longer.
"Stop right there," Mu Chen commanded.
"What do you want now?" Ye Zhiqiu frowned.
"As I said, if I have to take action, it will be both your hands and feet," Mu Chen replied coldly.
"You!" Ye Zhiqiu gasped in fear.
"I'm Mu Chen; my words are not just for show," Mu Chen stated sharply.
With that, Mu Chen approached Ye Zhiqiu, his mind focused, and retrieved a dagger from his storage soul tool. In a swift motion, he appeared next to Ye Zhiqiu, grabbing his wrist with one hand while the dagger sliced through the tendons in Ye Zhiqiu's wrist.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream escaped Ye Zhiqiu's lips.
What the hell?!
This scene left everyone stunned.
Mu Chen had genuinely severed Ye Zhiqiu's tendons. From this moment on, Ye Zhiqiu would no longer be able to act arrogantly.
**Soul Power +8,000**
The brutal display of violence was shocking to all, including Zhao Wujin, who had once been a feared soul master himself. Today, he realized that compared to Mu Chen, he was merely a small fry.
With his tendons severed, Ye Zhiqiu lay on the ground, reduced to a turtle in a shell.
