37.12% I Slept With Xiao Wu...! / Chapter 49: Assassination

Chương 49: Assassination

Heavenly Fighting City

Chen Xuan arrived on time at the Tian Dou competition area to participate in the new round of matches.

He rested in the lounge with his eyes closed. Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived shortly after.

Everyone from Shrek Academy was present.

Today's opponent was a small academy team, with their strongest member only at Soul Power level 39.

Soon after, Chen Xuan was informed that he would not need to appear in today's match, as Jing Ling and Huang Yuan would take his place.

This message came from Tailong, who said it was the Master's direct order.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly but did not think too much about it and accepted it calmly.

"Since that's the case, I'll head back now." He had other things to do, so he decided to leave early.

Having been in this world for only about half a month, he was still unfamiliar with many things. It was time to start studying soul beasts and soul masters more deeply.

If he didn't get better acquainted with his Mangekyō Sharingan soon, he might not be able to use it effectively even in the finals.

The use of Tsukuyomi and Susanoo's conditions all required familiarity and training.

Chen Xuan left not long after, heading back to his new home in the outskirts. It was a good opportunity to also teach Chen Yiyi some knowledge about soul masters.

That day, apart from familiarizing himself with the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities, he also explored ninjutsu.

Without any teachers or ninjutsu scrolls, he had to explore and experiment on his own with techniques like Wind Release, Lightning Release, and physical techniques.

Days of experience told Chen Xuan that the Rasengan was the best breakthrough point. It was the most versatile technique, with both chakra nature change and shape change demonstrated in the Rasengan.

Adding Wind Release chakra could develop it into the Rasengan Shuriken. Unfortunately, with the current progress, it might take a long time, at least half a month.

However, there were gains. The Rasengan with Wind Release chakra had shown slight changes in shape, faintly resembling wind blades, unlike its original form.

According to Boruto's method, adding Lightning Release chakra could complete an invisible Rasengan.

"Ah, it's quite difficult." Chen Xuan found the current progress unsatisfactory, as it had not yet taken shape.

It wasn't due to a lack of talent or effort but rather the limited time available. With less than half a month since crossing over, most of his time had been spent on matches or traveling, with very little dedicated to training.

The Mangekyō Sharingan wasn't omnipotent. Just awakening it didn't mean he could instantly use the complete Susanoo. That was unrealistic.

And merely awakening the eyes didn't equate to having strength comparable to Kage-level ninjas. A solid foundation, including chakra and physical strength, was fundamental.

Moreover, Kage-level ninjas were not all that powerful. In this world, they were at most Soul Douluo level.

Most soul masters, upon reaching the Soul Saint realm, could fly.

In this world, soul masters could repair broken limbs with soul bones, something nearly impossible in the Naruto world.

One thing did remain the same: anyone who had their head severed would die, regardless of their strength.

Unless one reached the level of Uchiha Madara, it was unlikely to stand at the top in this world.

The day passed quietly, and before he knew it, the sun was about to set.

"Strange, my physical techniques have inexplicably improved?"

Chen Xuan made a surprising discovery. After a day of training with Chidori, his physical condition had noticeably improved, especially in terms of speed and strength.

He carefully explored and concluded that it was due to Lightning Release chakra. Lightning could stimulate cell activity, speeding up metabolism and nourishing the muscles.

Discovering this effect, Chen Xuan immediately used Lightning Release, controlling the electric arc to the finest degree to invigorate Chen Yiyi's body.

After half an hour, he found the effect not very significant, likely due to it being the first time. A few more sessions should improve it.

"Brother, training is really exhausting. Can we skip it tomorrow?" Chen Yiyi begged, her small face covered in sweat, her white clothes soaked through.

Chen Xuan withdrew his soul power, stopping the training to avoid harming Yiyi's body.

As night fell, the sky was pitch dark, without stars or a white moon.

The night passed silently, and soon it was the next day.

In the morning, Chen Xuan arrived at the Tian Dou competition area and entered the Shrek lounge.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were already there, sitting on the sofa.

As usual, they waited here every day for the draw results.

Soon after, the lounge door was pushed open, and Dai Mubai and Tang San walked in, bringing the draw results.

Today's opponent was slightly stronger than yesterday's, with two members reaching the Soul Emperor level.

"Dai Boss, Third Brother, with Brother Chen here, our Shrek team is all Soul Emperors now. The championship of this preliminary match should be a sure win," Ma Hongjun said.

He was eager to get on the field and show off his transformed Evil Fire Phoenix to let the Tian Dou royal family see his strength.

Previously, at Tian Dou Royal Academy, Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng had tried to drive Shrek away and had humiliated Flander and Yu Xiaogang.

"Those arrogant nobles will regret their decision to expel us. It was a foolish choice," Dai Mubai snorted.

No matter what kind of opponent they faced, the Shrek team was not worried. Their lineup of all Soul Emperors was unique in the preliminary rounds.

Next was to wait for the Master's arrangement of the battle roster.

Soon, Chen Xuan was informed that he would not need to appear in today's match. Jing Ling and Huang Yuan would fight again.

"Is this also the Master's decision?" he asked calmly, with no particular emotion.

"Correct."

Tailong nodded and, as if recalling something, added, "Xuanzi, don't overthink it. I believe the Master has his reasons for arranging this. Besides, this also helps to hide our Shrek team's strength."

"I'm not overthinking it. You're worrying too much," Chen Xuan replied.

Fat-headed Ma Hongjun came over, nudging Chen Xuan's shoulder with a grin, "Brother Chen, you're really loyal. Finally willing to come and accompany me and Rongrong."

Then he moaned, saying the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul was too special. Yu Xiaogang had refused to let him participate, and he was getting bored in the audience, only able to watch from behind.

Chen Xuan pushed the big head aside and then walked away, intentionally or unintentionally adding, "Are you sure it's really just because of your martial soul? Or is there another reason?"

After saying this, he left the lounge, leaving Ma Hongjun looking confused.

Chen Xuan did not plan to watch the match at the competition area. He withdrew early and left the Tian Dou competition area.

It was also a good opportunity for him to focus on developing ninjutsu and not waste time.

Under the blazing midday sun, the heat was unbearable.

Chen Xuan walked alone on the street, passing through essential routes as he headed back to the outskirts.

As he left the bustling areas, the number of pedestrians decreased gradually, and the streets became emptier, with only a few people in sight.

Chương 50: Everything is Self-Caused

Chen Xuan passed by a meat bun shop with a streetlamp next to it, noting down these buildings.

He continued walking down the deserted main street, with fewer and fewer pedestrians. He quickened his pace, passing through familiar streets.

After walking for half an hour, Chen Xuan stopped and looked at a streetlamp on his right. Next to it was a meat bun shop.

The shop was empty, with no sign of anyone.

Chen Xuan squinted his eyes. This was the third time he had returned to this place.

Earlier, he felt the scene was familiar and thought it might be an illusion, so he noted down the meat bun shop and the streetlamp.

He had walked for half an hour at a brisk pace, covering about two to three kilometers, and yet he ended up at the same place again.

He was very familiar with this area; he passed by here almost every day and had walked through it many times. It was impossible to have repeatedly gone the wrong way.

Chen Xuan set off again, this time heading north at twice his previous speed. He passed through many streets, but after another half hour, he ended up back at the same place.

The familiar street, the familiar meat bun shop, the familiar streetlamp.

Silence, utter silence. Despite being a large city, not a single person was in sight. Even the outskirts were not this desolate.

Tian Dou City, one of the largest cities in the Tian Dou Empire, was eerily quiet, almost like a deserted ghost town.

The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was bright, yet Chen Xuan felt no warmth. Instead, a chilling aura filled the surroundings.

"Illusion." The word appeared in his mind.

Chen Xuan's face darkened. Even if he wasn't skilled in illusions, it was impossible not to realize when he was caught in one.

Who could have done this, and what method did they use?

Even the Tsukuyomi in the Mangekyō Sharingan requires eye contact to work.

Illusions typically involve sensory invasions—visual, auditory, olfactory, and so on—disrupting the target's chakra.

Chen Xuan was certain that the person's level was above his, and it wasn't just a slight difference.

Their mastery of illusions was definitely superior to his.

"Come out. Stop hiding," Chen Xuan called out, scanning his surroundings cautiously, not missing any detail.

However, despite calling out several times, the city remained silent, the streets empty.

Chen Xuan's expression grew serious, and six black tomoe appeared in his eyes as he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

The tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly, connecting and merging into a pattern resembling the Yin-Yang symbol of the Bagua.

At this point, with danger lurking, Chen Xuan had to use his trump card. If he wasn't careful, he might end up perishing here today.

He carefully observed the surroundings and shouted, "Since you want to hunt me, why not show yourself?"

Still, there was no response. The city remained silent, with no one in sight.

Chen Xuan continued walking down the street, guessing that the opponent might be waiting for a perfect opportunity.

Soon, he realized he was mistaken. It was the same meat bun shop, but this time there was an extra table and two chairs under the streetlamp.

On the wooden table were some tea sets and a few steaming buns. A very fat middle-aged man sat in one of the chairs, leisurely drinking tea and eating buns.

In the quiet city, on the empty street, there was only this fat middle-aged man, enjoying tea and buns.

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed as he walked up quickly, pulling out a chair and sitting down. He showed no fear.

Since the opponent was willing to reveal himself, it meant he was very confident in his strength, thinking Chen Xuan was now a caged bird with no chance to escape.

"Not bad, discovering the anomaly in such a short time. You really are a genius who can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring," the fat middle-aged man said slowly, sipping his tea leisurely.

Chen Xuan frowned as various figures flashed through his mind. The powerful illusionist appearing in Tian Dou City, acting during the Continental Soul Master Competition.

Gradually, a face matching the description became clear.

"You are Shi Nian, the team leader from Canghui Academy, aren't you?" Chen Xuan asked, almost certain.

The fat middle-aged man was drinking tea calmly, but the hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"Looks like I guessed correctly," Chen Xuan's sharp eyes caught this subtle reaction.

This made him even more confused. The timeline didn't match—wasn't this old man supposed to be dead?

In the original timeline, Shi Nian had assassinated every powerful opponent in secret to ensure Canghui Academy could pass the budget match. Tang San was one of them.

However, he was too arrogant, thinking his illusions were unbeatable, and that no one could crack them. His carelessness led to Tang San's deadly pursuit and poison, which killed him.

This poison was extremely lethal; even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand it.

"Why are you targeting me?" Chen Xuan asked, deeply puzzled.

Even if the timeline didn't match, he shouldn't be the one targeted; it should be Tang San.

"Why?" Shi Nian sneered, with a sarcastic smile. "Fine, I'll make you understand before you die."

Shi Nian's voice grew serious. "Back then, on the way to the Star Dou Forest, your Shrek Academy humiliated my Canghui Academy. Do you think this grudge can be settled just like that?"

"But I was still a student of Lanba Academy at that time; it seems unrelated to me," Chen Xuan replied calmly.

Shi Nian showed a cruel smile and said, "How could it be unrelated? You joined Shrek Academy."

"Is that enough reason to kill me? Isn't that too overbearing?" Chen Xuan said.

Shi Nian's smile turned venomous, becoming increasingly twisted. "Naturally, there's a second reason. You're just too outstanding. A ten-thousand-year soul ring—how monstrous an existence that is. Without you, we can remove the obstacle to Canghui Academy."

"In that case, you should be targeting Tang San or Dai Mubai," Chen Xuan said.

At the same time, he was speechless. Couldn't he distinguish who was the important person in Shrek Academy? This old man was truly senile.

"Do you think I haven't tried?" Shi Nian's face darkened. "I've been tracking Tang San for five days without finding a chance to strike."

He openly admitted that he had started hunting Tang San and Dai Mubai a week ago, but these two never returned to the academy alone.

Especially Tang San, who was always with companions, teachers, or nobles like Ning Fengzhi and the royal family.

Only Chen Xuan was often alone and thus the easiest target.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt as if he had eaten a fly. He was speechless, realizing that not staying at the academy had led to his current predicament.

In reality, Tang San had been returning late because Xiao Wu was unwilling to see him, so he had been focusing on other matters.

If Chen Xuan had known that this was related to him, it would have been more distressing than being killed.

He now felt a pervasive malevolence from the world, as if it wanted to eradicate him, the time traveler.

"Alright, I've said everything. You can die now," Shi Nian finished his tea and stood up.

"Here, is your…"

Shi Nian suddenly stamped his foot, causing a great earthquake in Tian Dou City.

In an instant, the entire world turned upside down. Time and space were distorted, and the city, houses, and streets shattered like a mirror into fragmented scenes.

A new world revealed itself.

In the real world, the two appeared in a forest. The vegetation was lush, with a tree as thick as a water vat, reaching up to the sky.
