Chapter 29: Doubly Paired, Joyous and Congratulatory

Crack crack!

The fists collided, and the internal bones on Tailong's right hand were being torn apart bit by bit, a wave of intense pain sweeping through his whole body.

"Ah!!!"

Blast from the impact sent his right arm flying, though it didn't break off, and Tailong's whole body was flung along with it.

Li Fei leapt forward, arriving before Tailong, and threw a punch.

Tailong's face changed wildly as he unleashed his first soul skill, the Stone Shield, to block.

Bang! A tremendous impact struck the shield before him.

It knocked him to the ground, and he winced in pain.

The pain made him keep one eye open and the other closed.

"Damn, this kid looks so skinny—why is he so strong?"

Tailong grimaced in pain, clutching his arm as he clumsily crawled up from the ground; though he felt indignant, the facts left him helpless.

I, a grand Soul Master, actually lost to someone who hasn't even awakened his martial soul.

"!!!"

"Exactly, this guy hasn't activated his martial soul from start to finish—he's just crushing me with pure physical strength!"

Thinking of this, Tailong felt as if struck by lightning, suffering a huge blow that left him dazed and spiritless.

I thought I was a genius, but I didn't expect there to be an even greater genius here.

"You're so arrogant, I thought you were strong, but you're actually this weak."

"If I had awakened my martial soul, you'd be dead for sure."

Li Fei looked at his unharmed right hand, curled the corner of his mouth, and said.

"You!" Tailong was furious.

"What? Still want to fight? Come on, I'll accompany you to the end—just don't end up crying and running home to tell your parents I bullied you!" Li Fei said disdainfully: "By then, not only will I look down on you, but everyone in Lan Ba Academy will look down on you!"

"You! You! I I."

Tailong was furious but also speechless; seeing the doubtful and mocking gazes around him, he gritted his teeth: "I said this is my own matter, unrelated to my family—I lost! You're great! Wait for me, I will definitely become stronger and come back to take revenge on you!"

After uttering those harsh words, he turned and ran—not toward outside the academy, but to the infirmary.

Just now he had indeed wanted his family to vent his anger for him, but after thinking, if he really did that, his face would be completely lost, and he wouldn't be able to raise his head anywhere in Lan Ba Academy; moreover, it would surely be spread by those with ill intentions.

That would definitely make him and the Power Clan lose face.

So he gave up that idea.

All his grievances could only be silently endured by himself.

Watching the retreating figure, Li Fei also put away his disdainful smile and fell silent.

"This guy doesn't know whether he keeps his word."

Li Fei still fears Soul Douluo, and moreover, this Titan guy is a close-combat explosive type.

"No, I must quickly recruit Dugu Bo to my side so I have a Title Douluo as my backing."

Li Fei plans to rapidly cultivate to rank forty, then go alone to Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings.

Anyway, when he absorbs soul rings, he doesn't need to exert much effort—just summon his martial soul, and any soul beast related to dragons, no matter how old, will obediently commit suicide and become my soul ring.

That is his advantage.

"I've wandered around for so long, yet I don't know how Uncle Fu's side is progressing?"

Li Fei turned and walked toward the back garden.

As he walked, he thought, how to find Dugu Bo? Sunset Forest is so vast; if I search alone, I don't know when I'll find him—maybe the Year of the Monkey and the Month of the Horse.

Suddenly, he thought of three methods.

The first is to cooperate with Tiandou Auction House, have them spread the word about a pill that can cure any poison, attract Dugu Bo to come meet me, and then win him over.

The second is to use Flandre as a lure, invite Qin Ming, who teaches at Tiandou Royal Academy, to help contact Du Gu Yan.

The third is to directly go to Dugu Bo's mansion and talk to him.

Li Fei pondered deeply, and without realizing it, he had already arrived at the back garden.

Suddenly, two people walked out of the wooden house. What surprised Li Fei was that both were holding hands.

Flandre wore a smiling face, spring in full bloom.

Liu Erlong looked bashful, a blush on her face.

"It seems the two have become a couple."

Li Fei let out a sigh of relief.

As long as we settle Liu Erlong, our side will have four Soul Sages.

These four people in the future all have the strength to impact Title Douluo.

"I must increase my efforts, make them resent Yu Xiaogang, and ultimately turn against each other."

"Our hard‑won results cannot be let a mid‑comer like Yu Xiaogang just enjoy."

Li Fei harbored a rather malicious idea in his heart.

To achieve the goal, no means are off limits.

"Little Fei, why are you here? Weren't you out strolling?" Flandre pulled Liu Erlong, smiling as he walked over.

"I've finished strolling; looks like Uncle Fu, your courtship succeeded." Li Fei laughed.

"Yeah, succeeded; now we're finally together." Flandre put one arm around Liu Erlong, feeling very pleased, having such a beauty in his embrace, feeling life complete, able to ascend.

"Okay, Big Brother Flandre, there are still children here."

Behaving like this in front of a little child made Liu Erlong even more bashful.

"Is this the Little Fei you just mentioned?"

"Who taught you the secret manual?" Liu Erlong curiously sized up Li Fei.

Just after finishing her confession, Liu Erlong was deeply moved; recalling Yu Xiaogang's cowardly behavior, she really felt she had chosen wrong, and now being with Flender, she also felt much more relaxed instantly.

Is this what it feels like to have a sturdy shoulder?

Indeed, it's quite different!

"It's him, our Shrek Academy's peerless genius since its founding."

"Don't look at how tall and big he is; he's actually only six years old, and will turn seven in a few months."

Flender scratched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and introduced.

"Hello, Aunt Liu." Li Fei smiled and gave an assist.

"Hello, Xiao Fei. Nice to meet you; I haven't prepared a gift for you, I'll give you one later." Liu Erlong said with a slight smile.

The expert guiding Flender from behind is none other than this person before us.

I didn't expect him to be only six; this really surprised her.

Are young people nowadays all this capable?

"It's fine; what matters is that you succeed." Li Fei said: "I should be the one giving you congratulatory money."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere warm and harmonious.

Inside the academy, Tailong lay on the bed receiving treatment.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, feeling that he had been set up.

"Damn it, I will definitely become stronger, then crush this person, and regain my standing! Today I've lost face."

Tailong suffered a huge blow today.

Ordinary people would surely give up, but he is a brave person.

After this failure, he will intensify his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Li Fei, Flender, and Liu Erlong chatted, quickly becoming close.

At the same time, Li Fei unintentionally brought up Yu Xiaogang, steering the conversation toward him, and from the weakness everyone already knew, let the two see Yu Xiaogang's bad side.

In any case, it's a subtle influence, continuing to plant a seed in their hearts.
