Chapter 10 Morax Without Mora
Looking at the old man in front of him, and the nine dazzlingly bright spirit rings, the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing at the front also had a slight bitter look in his eyes.
Good grief. I encouraged you guys to cause trouble; but I didn't encourage you to cause this much trouble!
"What? This young man wants to challenge me to a soul duel? What do you mean by stopping him? I have no interest in a bunch of petty scoundrels like you."
The old man merely glanced at the group and said in a sinister tone.
"Excuse me, are you the Poison Douluo, His Majesty Dugu Bo?"
The middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at the old man's green eyes, and a thought suddenly struck him. He asked a question.
"Indeed, it is I. This young man, is he your disciple? He's quite interesting. Heh heh, you've trained a fine apprentice!"
Dugu Bo chuckled, but the middle-aged man felt increasingly bitter.
If it were any other Title Douluo, it wouldn't be a problem; but this Poison Douluo has a very bad reputation.
It might not be able to stop a child from crying at night, but it's close enough. At the very least, this guy is definitely not someone you can talk to easily, and his temper has always been quite eccentric; even some other titled Douluo are not very willing to offend him.
Damn it. Of all people to mess with, why did you have to mess with this old geezer?
Little did they know, Ning Rongrong was also filled with shock at that moment.
As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had naturally heard of Dugu Bo's existence; however, as far as she knew, this Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, always acted alone and was unwilling to truly rely on any power. In the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had tried to win him over at great cost, but had failed.
Dugu Bo's status as a guest elder in the Heaven Dou Empire was merely nominal, and only because Prince Xue Xing had personally done him a favor. However, Dugu Bo was now constantly following behind Zhong Li, silently protecting him, almost like a bodyguard.
If the Heaven Dou royal family can truly control such a Title Douluo, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have to reassess the true strength of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Indeed, this child is my student. If he has made any mistakes and offended Your Majesty, please do not blame him. If anyone is to blame, it is me, his teacher, for failing to properly guide him."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said with extreme bitterness.
Zhong Li glanced at the man with gold-rimmed glasses. This four-eyed owl, Flander, although incompetent in his teaching and with a history of misconduct at his school, at this moment, still showed some responsibility as a teacher.
"Dean! This is none of your business!"
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head, his voice hoarse, and roared.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong also sighed inwardly, looked at Zhong Li, and a pleading look appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Brother Ali. How about..."
"Sigh, it was supposed to be a win-win situation. Why did it turn out like this?"
Zhong Li sighed softly, shook his head, and turned away.
"Elder Dugu, since this young master doesn't want to fight anymore, we won't force him. Let's go!"
After saying that, Zhong Li walked out of the Soul Arena. His shadow followed closely behind. Not far away, a short-haired man with blue hair, who had remained silent, watched Zhong Li's retreating figure, his fists clenched, a shadowy look in his eyes.
"Heh heh. Kid, it's the young master's mercy that spared your life. Given my temperament, just what you said would have been too lenient to kill you right now. You'd better remember that!"
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he vanished again before everyone's eyes, like a ghost.
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhong Li's back, glanced apologetically at Dean Flander, and then chased after him.
"Damn it. Who on earth is this guy?"
After leaving the Soul Arena and walking quite a distance, Dai Mubai finally raised his head and said resentfully. At this moment, there was still a deep red mark on his forehead, and Oscar next to him had the exact same one.
"I just heard Rongrong call that person 'Brother Ali.' Could it be Xue Li, the young prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire? Yes, and the purple-haired woman next to him must be the 'Iron-Blooded Princess' who recently captured the flag and defeated the general! Hiss."
Flanders took a deep breath and said.
"A prince of the Heaven Dou Empire? What is the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family anyway? How could they possibly allow a Title Douluo to..."
Dai Mubai said with a look of disdain on his face.
Although on the surface, Tian Dou and Xing Luo are two great empires, one in the south and one in the north, and their national strength is almost equal, the Dai family of the Xing Luo Empire, as the royal family itself, looks down on the Xue family in the north.
The reason is simple: the Dai family, as a Soul Master family, is one of the top families on the continent, and they are not afraid even when facing the three upper sects. The royal family of the Star Luo Empire has produced Title Douluo almost every generation, and they also have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique passed down through generations. This is the true source of the White Tiger family's confidence.
Therefore, when facing various forces within the country, the Star Luo Empire appears to be more ruthless and its degree of centralization is higher than that of the Heaven Dou Empire in the north. Although the Heaven Dou Empire has a deeper foundation and a larger population than the Star Luo Empire, it is often at a disadvantage in actual confrontations.
"Dean, I don't know the situation either. However, this young prince is someone we can't afford to offend."
Flander gave a wry smile and said, "You, Dai Mubai, may look down on the Heaven Dou Empire, but Shrek Academy can't! Not to mention, the Barak Kingdom was recently annexed by the Heaven Dou Empire. We're now subjects of the Heaven Dou Empire, and we have to live at their mercy. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
Moreover, he was well aware of Shrek Academy's current situation. He had even considered visiting the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy soon. But you've offended the Prince right off the bat.
Ugh! This is giving me a headache.
"Ning Rongrong too. Our Boss Dai was harmed like that, and she still went and hung out with that damned little prince."
Beside him, a fat man with a red mohawk spoke in a sarcastic tone. Beside the fat man, a shadow of gloom and pain flashed in Oscar's charming eyes.
"Rongrong is, after all, a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We have no way of judging what she will choose."
The blue-haired man, who had been relatively silent, finally spoke. A long-legged girl in a pink dress followed closely behind him, her gaze frequently fixed on the boy, while the other boys subtly revolved around him.
The blue-haired man's words seemed to set the tone for the entire incident. The others all wore cold, mocking smiles. Only a hot-bodied girl in black leather frowned slightly but remained silent.
Third Brother's words are still so pure and innocent. On the surface, he seems to be understanding of others, but with just one sentence, he distances himself from them.
Oh.
"Let's just let this matter rest. Rongrong will be back soon, so everyone shouldn't overthink it. Once we get back, let's do what we always do: summarize our experiences from today's Arena."
A middle-aged man with a square face and a serious expression coughed lightly and spoke. The group of young men and women nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Master!"
--------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong stood beside Zhong Li, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Um, Brother Ali. Usually, even Boss Dai Mubai isn't like this. Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with him."
Ning Rongrong sighed and said. In fact, she still couldn't understand why Dai Mubai and Zhong Li had no grudges against each other, yet Dai Mubai insisted on going to their door to provoke them.
At that moment, she suddenly thought of something: several teachers in the academy had said that those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre. Was that really true? Dai Mubai had offended Brother Li, putting himself in a dilemma; but what if it were a stranger? Putting herself in their shoes, was it really the right thing to provoke others and cause trouble for no reason?
"Everyone in this world is complex. The side you usually see is not necessarily the whole picture of a person."
Zhong Li gazed at him leisurely and said.
Just like how, in front of Ning Rongrong, he was only playing the role of "Prince Xue Li". But he also had many other sides that Ning Rongrong had never seen.
"Sigh, let me treat you to dinner today. I bet you didn't bring a single copper soul coin again, am I right? I'll take you to the best restaurant in Soto City. Consider it an apology for that person offending you."
Ning Rongrong smiled, glanced at Zhongli's pocket, and said.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Rongrong to spend the money."
As everyone knows, you can never find a single Mora on Morax. He inherited his good habit when he came into this world.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who was used to not carrying money; the general standing next to him did the same.
