บท 77: Chapter 77: Departure to the City of Slaughter
During their time in the Star Dou Forest, Mu Chen had invited Meng Yiran twice, persuading her to join Shrek Academy. At that time, Long Gong and She Po mentioned they needed to consider and discuss the matter with the Beast Academy where Meng Yiran was studying.
Now, with Long Gong and She Po bringing Meng Yiran to the entrance of the Great Soul Arena, it seemed that a resolution had been reached.
"Two seniors, have you made your decision?" Flander stepped forward, having learned the details from Zhao Wujin. His gaze was filled with anticipation as he looked at the legendary Dragon and Snake couple.
Long Gong and She Po exchanged glances.
Long Gong, the pillar of the family, stepped forward and addressed Mu Chen, "Yes, we have thought this over. We've also received approval from the Beast Academy where Yiran studies, allowing her to enter Shrek Academy. However, her personal record for the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition must include information from the Beast Academy."
"Alright, we agree to that condition!"
Mu Chen nodded and extended his hand toward Meng Yiran. "Meng Yiran, Shrek Academy welcomes you."
Meng Yiran politely extended her hand to shake Mu Chen's. Thinking back to their encounters in the Star Dou Forest, she vividly recalled the moments they shared. Noticing the familiarity of the handshake, her cheeks flushed red. Especially since she had lost to Mu Chen in their two previous matches and had to kiss him on the cheek. The memory made her face burn with embarrassment, and she stammered, "I…I just want to become stronger to beat you, the bad guy. So I joined Shrek Academy. You… you shouldn't think too much about it."
Mu Chen smiled and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beside him. "Don't worry, I won't think too much. You're not the only one wanting to defeat me."
"Not the only one? What do you mean?"
Meng Yiran looked puzzled, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, incredulous. "Are you two also…"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong didn't respond, but the blush on their faces revealed the answer.
Flander: "…"
Flander was taken aback, feeling as if Mu Chen were the actual head of Shrek Academy! The matter of Meng Yiran joining Shrek Academy seemed to have nothing to do with him at all!
However, Flander didn't mind. Meng Yiran was still quite young, having already reached over level thirty in soul power. Her talent was comparable to the oldest member, Dai Mubai. With proper training, she would undoubtedly become the ninth monster of Shrek Academy.
"Principal!"
Mu Chen approached Flander and said, "I want to take them to the City of Slaughter right now!"
"The City of Slaughter?"
"The City of Slaughter?"
She Po and Long Gong looked dumbfounded, almost petrified, staring at Mu Chen. Did he really just say he wanted to take the Shrek Eight into the City of Slaughter?
"Now?"
Flander raised an eyebrow, astonished as he looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen nodded.
Flander continued, "Why not wait until tomorrow? You haven't packed your things yet!"
Mu Chen shook his head. "No, the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition is approaching quickly, and we must seize every moment. If it weren't for these few people, I would have entered the City of Slaughter three months ago. As for packing, we have money now and don't need to bring anything special. We can buy whatever we need along the way."
Flander pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, but be careful. Remember, you must come back alive. And you all must come back alive."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The Shrek Seven all nodded in agreement.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Principal. When we return, everyone in Shrek Academy will truly be a monster."
Flander nodded expectantly.
Once the Shrek Nine returned, each would possess the domain of the God of Slaughter. By then, they could indeed be called monsters.
"Wait."
Hearing Mu Chen and Flander's conversation, Long Gong couldn't help but interject, "What were you just talking about, entering the City of Slaughter?"
"Yes," Mu Chen replied, nodding.
Long Gong said anxiously, "Are you out of your minds? You're still so young, not even at the Soul King level, and you want to enter the City of Slaughter? Do you even know what kind of place the City of Slaughter is?"
As a Soul Douluo over level eighty and a member of the renowned Dragon and Snake duo, Long Gong was well aware of the existence of the City of Slaughter and what it entailed.
He was shocked to learn that these kids were about to enter such a terrifying place. The City of Slaughter was ranked as the most dangerous place on the continent's top ten death lists. It was said that anyone who entered had a ten-to-one chance of survival! To date, only two people had managed to come out alive.
"Who says my brother hasn't reached Soul King?" Xiao Wu defended Mu Chen.
"Soul King?"
Long Gong looked at Mu Chen again, and sensing his soul power fluctuations, his expression turned astonished. "You've reached level fifty in soul power?"
Mu Chen smiled, nodding in affirmation. He then added, "The City of Slaughter is quite special. Even Title Douluo-level experts cannot use their soul skills inside. So, even without the Soul King level, as long as you have enough battle experience, there's still hope for survival in that hellish path. Senior, do you remember when I mentioned that when Yiran joined Shrek Academy, I would give her a big gift?"
Long Gong asked, "You're not referring to the God of Slaughter's domain, are you?"
Mu Chen nodded. "Yes, that's the gift I plan to give her."
"No way!"
Long Gong refused without hesitation. "While the God of Slaughter's domain is indeed enticing, if you lose your life, then nothing matters. I sent Yiran to Shrek Academy to help her grow stronger, to revitalize my family in the future, not to send her to her death."
She Po nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Flander habitually supported his forehead with his hand, revealing a shrewd smile. "Mu Chen, if you don't let him see the wonders of your abilities, he will never feel at ease about entrusting his granddaughter to you!"
"Abilities? What abilities?"
Long Gong looked at Mu Chen curiously. The sleeve arrow Mu Chen had given Meng Yiran was indeed impressive. Could this young man have other miraculous items?
"Alright."
Mu Chen nodded, focusing his thoughts. He pulled out a small piece of paper with the character "explosive" written on it, wrapped around a dagger from his storage soul tool.
*Whoosh!*
With a wave of his hand, Mu Chen threw the dagger.
"Explode!"
He whispered. With a loud bang, accompanied by a thunderous sound, a large rock at the entrance of the Soto City Great Soul Arena was obliterated into dust.
"What…"
Long Gong stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
"I have many such items at my disposal. Senior, are you still worried?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
Long Gong fell silent, looking at She Po. When he saw her nod, he finally relented, "Alright, I'll allow you to take Yiran into the City of Slaughter."
"It should have been this straightforward."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Rest assured, seniors. Since this is a gift for Yiran, I will ensure her safety. In two years, I will return her to you in one piece."
"Now, let's set off for the City of Slaughter."
