Chương 118: The Enforcer
The Shrek team never expected the normally calm and peaceful Tang San to suddenly attack Chen Xuan, pulling out the powerful weapon, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Nine arrows flew from the bowstring, gleaming with a deadly cold light, aimed at Chen Xuan's head with lethal intent, leaving no room for escape.
No one below the level of a Spirit King could withstand an attack from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Even a level fifty Spirit King could be killed instantly without defense.
"Chidori Flow!"
Chen Xuan had already completed his hand signs. With a simple gesture, a wave of lightning erupted, arcs of electricity weaving together like a giant net descending upon the arrows.
The nine arrows shot forward rapidly, but as soon as they touched the lightning net, they lost their energy and clattered to the ground as useless scrap.
Tang San's pupils shrank as he froze in shock. His prized hidden weapon had been rendered utterly ineffective. How...how was this possible?
On the day they were attacked by Spirit Hall, he had led the Six Devils and wiped out twenty black-clad men with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, all of whom were above level fifty.
But Chen Xuan had easily neutralized his hidden weapon, and he hadn't even summoned his martial spirit. This was incomprehensible for Tang San.
Refusing to believe it, Tang San aimed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow at Chen Xuan again, convinced his hidden weapon was supreme.
"Think I don't exist?" A black-robed bishop suddenly appeared in front of Tang San. With a wave of his hand, he seized the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and grabbed Tang San's wrist.
"I am the enforcer here. Private fights are prohibited within Spirit City. If you have grievances, take them to the life-and-death stage. Next time, you'll be expelled," the bishop said coldly.
His body expanded, exuding an intimidating aura, with a massive beast spirit appearing behind him, towering like a skyscraper.
Eight spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, the optimal configuration—a Spirit Douluo with eight rings.
Though speaking to Tang San, his gaze was fixed on the three Shrek Academy teachers, observing them carefully. Instead of stopping the conflict, they allowed their students to fight without intervening.
Feeling guilty under his gaze, Flender quickly stepped forward with a stern expression, saying, "Xiao San, Chen Xuan is your partner. Regardless of any grievances, this kind of fighting is unacceptable. Apologize to Chen Xuan."
The Shrek team looked at Tang San in confusion. Typically calm and good-natured, what had made him so furious?
Chen Xuan frowned. Tang San had aimed to kill just now; calling it a squabble didn't do it justice. This was clearly Flender trying to minimize the issue.
Chen Xuan remained silent. It didn't matter. Since leaving Heaven Dou, he had no plans to return to Shrek Academy; after the Spirit Master tournament, he would implement his long-prepared plans.
Seeing the teachers step in, the black-robed bishop released Tang San and left, disappearing from view.
Moments later, Tang San's face turned pale, and he coughed up blood, staggering as he nearly fell.
"Xiao San!" Dai Mubai, quick on his feet, caught him just before he hit the ground.
"San Ge, are you alright?" Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and others crowded around, concerned.
At that moment, Tang San's face was ashen, blood covering his mouth as he appeared weak and drained.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Chen Xuan in the distance, suspecting he might have done something to Tang San.
Chen Xuan shrugged, showing he was innocent. He didn't have the skill to harm someone from afar.
Liu Erlong took Tang San's wrist, checked his pulse carefully, then relaxed, saying, "It's not serious—just some internal injuries."
The Shrek team breathed a collective sigh of relief, relieved that it wasn't severe.
"Xiao San, did that despicable man do something to you?" Flender's expression darkened, angered at the idea of anyone tampering with his students.
Tang San nodded, his face devoid of color, appearing feeble.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, his gaze grew cold as he swore, "Spirit Hall! I, Tang San, vow that I will not rest until I see you destroyed!"
The incident had deepened his hatred for Spirit Hall. Ruthless, unscrupulous, using power to bully—what strength was that? If he grew strong enough, it would spell the end of Spirit Hall.
The red-robed bishop frowned in displeasure, his tone cold as he said, "Your student fought privately within Spirit City, which is forbidden. The enforcer showed restraint and merely disciplined him lightly."
According to protocol, he wasn't obligated to speak further, but he couldn't hold back.
"Destroy Spirit Hall? With you? Ridiculous!" The red-robed bishop sneered with disdain.
He turned and left, uninterested in engaging further with the academy. To him, these people were self-righteous, only viewing things from their perspective without considering the cause.
"What did you say?" Liu Erlong, her fiery temper boiling, was furious at the mockery, but the red-robed bishop was already gone, leaving her no outlet for her anger.
Tang San's gaze grew colder, his hatred for Spirit Hall deepening as he thought of the arrogance and brutality of their enforcers.
When the black-robed bishop touched him, an overpowering soul force had surged through his wrist, locking his limbs and rendering him helpless.
He had resisted, but in vain. The force was overwhelming, dispersing his own spirit power and damaging his organs.
Tang San reached into his belt, pulling out a few tender green leaves, quickly consuming them before sitting down to recover.
The effect was immediate. His pale face regained some color, and his injuries gradually began to heal.
The Shrek team remained silent, knowing the efficacy of Tang San's methods, while Flender and Liu Erlong stood guard beside him.
Chen Xuan's eyes brightened, recognizing the potency of those leaves, which exuded a dense life aura, indicating they were likely precious immortal herbs.
Though he had never seen Tang San use such items before, it seemed he'd prepared plenty of elixirs and immortal herbs for this journey.
When Tang San took out the leaves, Chen Xuan felt a faint tremor from the supreme plant rooted within his own soul world, which seemed to crave those herbs.
He understood that for this mysterious plant to grow quickly, it would need to absorb a variety of immortal herbs, which would also provide him feedback in soul power.
This extraordinary plant had been in his body for three months now, yet it showed no signs of maturity.
Chen Xuan surmised it would need to consume many such herbs to grow and mature faster.
"I need to find a way to get my hands on that belt," he muttered to himself with a mischievous glint.
Chen Xuan felt no guilt. Their hostility had been evident since their confrontation in Heaven Dou. Tang San had wanted to kill him for some time.
After all, Tang San had just attempted to kill him. In a similar situation, a spirit master of equal level wouldn't even have time to react, let alone defend, and would be killed.
Moreover, the matter of Xiao Wu's pregnancy wouldn't stay hidden for long. When Tang San found out, he would surely go into a rage and do anything to get rid of him.
"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine," Chen Xuan thought, already preparing to take action under the guise of sharing treasures.
