Chapter 206: The Cut-Off Mountain

In the Soul Fighting Arena.

Aside from Qin Jian and Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing was the first to react, but she didn't show much expression; she merely frowned at the spreading pool of blood and quickly turned to walk off the stage.

Having experienced countless hunts since childhood, she was long accustomed to such carnage and would not feel like vomiting as written in the original story.

The second to walk down was Xiao Wu; as a Ten Thousand Year Rabbit, there was nothing she hadn't seen, and the bloody slaughter between Soul Beasts was far more intense than what was seen before her.

She had originally intended to walk down quite normally, but suddenly seeing Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun running over with pale faces and mouths covered, the rabbit's eyes darted around quietly, and she hurriedly covered her own mouth and rushed out as well.

Qin Jian rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu's twitching rabbit ears; at a time like this, the rabbit ears should be drooping, not shaking incessantly—Xiao Wu, you've exposed yourself, do you know that...

Qin Jian glanced at the host in the air: "Still not announcing the result of the soul fight?"

His words were clearly plain, yet they frightened the host so much that he trembled all over, stammering, "I—I—I announce... the Shrek Team is the win—winner!"

Feeling a chill in his lower body, he then realized he had lost control of his bladder at some point...

"Ooh! Ooh! Oh! Oh!"

The audience awakened amidst the host's announcement, and for a moment, the entire main Soul Fighting Arena was in a complete uproar.

Various sounds of sighing and terror rose one after another.

But these things no longer concerned Qin Jian; he put away his martial soul and hooked his arm around Tang San's shoulder to walk off the stage.

Watching his indifferent demeanor from the VIP room, Grandmaster couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "The reactions of Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun are all normal, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's behavior is a bit strange, and Xiao San and Qin Jian are even more like nothing happened..."

"Qin Jian's martial soul is a sword after all, born for slaughter, so this scene might not count for much to him."

Flender pushed up his glasses and said: "As for Tang San, being able to create these lethal weapons, he naturally isn't a normal person either..."

Grandmaster could only nod.

For Qin Jian, this was a sleepless night.

Because the little princess Ning Rongrong was badly frightened, and she was the one who vomited the most severely; until she went to bed, she was still clutching Qin Jian's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

In the end, Qin Jian simply entered the room where the girls were staying and slept with them for the night; anyway, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had no objections.

And Tang San, of course, could only accompany Oscar and Ma Hongjun to recover their spirits...

Early the next morning, before the sky was even bright, the group had already quietly left Silves City and continued to set off toward their destination, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

After all, having swept away so many bets, it would be troublesome if they were targeted.

Although she had been held by Qin Jian while sleeping for the night, Ning Rongrong still didn't seem to have fully recovered, and she clung to Qin Jian's arm along the way, refusing to let go.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind the two and gradually discovered the problem, because Ning Rongrong's complexion was not pale at all!

The Asura Field drama on the road is omitted...

"Grandmaster, according to the map, we are about to reach Heaven Dou City. Where in the city is this Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?" Flender asked Grandmaster while looking at the map.

Because there was no mark for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy on the map.

Grandmaster glanced at Flender: "If even you don't know, how would I know? It's a pity you barely count as a Dean."

Flender said indignantly: "What do you mean 'barely count'? I am one, alright? So you don't know either. Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, do you two know?"

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly: "You know, we aren't Spirit Masters who came out of formal academies, let alone from a place for nobles like the Royal Academy, so how would we know? I've only been to Heaven Dou City once or twice, and in my impression, there is no address for this Heaven Dou Imperial Academy at all. They are probably the same."

The other three teachers nodded in unison, signaling their inability to help.

"Dean Flender, I know where the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is."

Just then, Ning Rongrong solved the imminent problem for Flender: "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not far from Heaven Dou City. In the past, Brother Jian and I often went to Heaven Dou City, and we have also been to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy a few times. Actually, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is not inside Heaven Dou City, but outside the city, just like our Shrek Academy is outside Soto City."

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but glance at her; they had been shown off by her again by accident. Is being childhood sweethearts so great?

Under the lead of Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong, the group finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was located at dusk.

"Qin Jian, Rongrong, are you sure this is the place?" Flender asked with a strange tone in his voice.

The two nodded, and Ning Rongrong said: "Yes, that's right. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wouldn't change locations, would it?"

"But this is a mountain!" Flender said.

Ning Rongrong pointed to the front and said as a matter of course: "This entire mountain belongs to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Oh, and that forest behind it and the lake at the foot of the mountain on the left all fall under the academy's management scope."

Glancing at the dumbfounded Flender, Grandmaster said leisurely: "Leaning against the mountain and facing the water, it is indeed a good place."

The other teachers also nodded in admiration.

The scenery here was indeed very beautiful, especially at this moment when the sun was setting and the evening glow filled the sky. Against the backdrop of the red clouds in the west, both the lake at the foot of the mountain and the thousand-meter-high mountain covered in various plants gave one the feeling of a paradise on earth.

Except for the top of one mountain, which had been forcibly cut off on one side, looking bare and very discordant.

"Look at that mountain. I imagine the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy felt that an environment that was too beautiful lacked the temperament of a Spirit Academy, so they deliberately shaved off half of it to add a bit of Killing Sword Intent," Grandmaster said with a straight face, pointing over there.

Tang San and the others even nodded earnestly.

"No... mmm..."

Ning Rongrong just wanted to say something, but was quickly covered by Qin Jian's hand.

"Hehe, Grandmaster is right, hehe..." he said with a smile.

Grandmaster looked at them strangely, always feeling that something was wrong.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes slightly, then quietly licked the palm of Qin Jian's hand.

"Ahem..."

Qin Jian retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, and Ning Rongrong's eyes crinkled with a smile.

Not a few steps later, trouble arrived.

"Stop, who are you people?"

More than ten Spirit Masters, aged about eighteen or nineteen, blocked the group's path.

From the goose-yellow school uniforms on their bodies, one could tell that these students belonged to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Flender said brazenly: "We are from Shrek Academy, here specifically for an exchange at the invitation of your Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

The leading youth looked Flender up and down, then looked at the attire of the others, a trace of disdain hanging on his face: "You bumpkins want to come to our academy for an exchange? I think you must be beggars from somewhere. Get lost!"

Having traveled for nearly ten days, the group from Shrek Academy was indeed a bit dusty, but they weren't as wretched as he described; this was clearly looking for trouble.

Qin Jian then slowly stepped forward: "So it is Prince Xue Beng; from whom did you gain the courage this time, to dare act so arrogant before me..."
