Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 18: Flander Also Gets Hit_1

"Who exactly is Chu Qin, and is he really just a child?" Tang San thought to himself. When he first met Chu Qin, he was nothing more than a Soul Ancestor, but now, just over a year later, he had already reached the level where he could defeat a Soul Sage!

So when would he be able to take Xiaowu back? Would it be in some distant, unforeseeable future?

Zhu Zhuqing was shocked to her core, thinking to herself, "This man, he’s so handsome! No, what am I thinking? I came here for Dai Mubai!"

Only Xiaowu and Ning Rongrong were openly jubilant, cheering directly, "Chu Qin, well done!"

Zhao Wuji was also completely baffled at this moment. Was Chu Qin truly a Soul Emperor?

After all, he was a 76th-level power-type Soul Sage and yet, he had just been defeated head-on by a Soul Emperor!

Even though Zhao Wuji had not used his full strength!

"No, no, I can’t let him have his way!" Zhao Wuji thought to himself, "Otherwise, where would I, Zhao Wuji, put my face?"

"Second Soul Skill, Great Strength King Kong Palm!"

Zhao Wuji took the initiative to strike, as the second soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and his bear paw swelled several times in an instant, rolling towards Chu Qin!

Feeling the sudden rise in Zhao Wuji’s Soul Power fluctuations and the crushing weight pressing down on his entire body, Chu Qin’s pupils shifted slightly, "As expected, Zhao Wuji hadn’t been using his full strength! Now is the time he’s really going all out!"

"But have I really used my full strength? Let’s try the hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, to decide the outcome in one move!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Ethereal Spear!"

At the instant the sixth soul ring beneath Chu Qin’s feet lit up, his entire body entered into a state of semi-invisibility, as if he had merged with the space around him!

Under these circumstances, the gravitational suppression from Zhao Wuji on Chu Qin’s body was completely lifted!

"What kind of peculiar soul skill is this!" Watching his gravity become ineffective, Zhao Wuji exclaimed in surprise.

In his astonishment, Zhao Wuji immediately concentrated Soul Power to form a soul power shield!

Chu Qin’s sixth soul ring was a gift from the System. It came from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast known as the Tai Xu Bone Dragon!

This soul ring granted Chu Qin two hundred-thousand-year soul skills, Ethereal Spear and Vajra Break Soul Spear!

One hard, one soft!

And the effect of Ethereal Spear was to negate any kind of control state on himself and ignore all physical defense!

Therefore, Chu Qin’s Extinguishing God Spear perfectly pierced through the shield, striking Zhao Wuji’s body and sending him flying!

Fortunately, Zhao Wuji managed to steady himself in time and avoided being knocked down, but his Martial Soul Soul Rings dissipated in an instant!

That meant Chu Qin had won!

"I lost! Is this what a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill is like?" Zhao Wuji said somewhat incredulously.

"Zhao Wuji, thanks for the fight," Chu Qin said with a slant at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Just moments ago, Zhao Wuji had boasted that as long as Chu Qin could last the time it took for an incense stick to burn without being defeated by him, he would be victorious!

Now, Chu Qin had completely defeated Zhao Wuji in just two moves!

"Congratulations, Chu Qin. From now on, you’ll be my colleague! You are officially a mentor at Shrek Academy!" Zhao Wuji walked up to Chu Qin, thoroughly convinced and extended his hand.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin smiled faintly.

"Hehe, Instructor Chu Qin, you must be the youngest, most talented mentor in our academy from now on. Please take care of us in the future!" Li Yusong hurriedly flattered.

"We’ve got a new mentor at the academy, and I wasn’t informed?" Just then, the voice of a middle-aged man rang out.

They saw a man in black-rimmed glasses and a brown suit, accompanied by a blond, heterochromatic young man, walking over.

"Boss Flander!" Zhao Wuji hurriedly went to meet him.

Flander ignored Zhao Wuji and whispered to Dai Mubai as he turned to Chu Qin, "Mubai, did he beat you?"

"Yes, headmaster!" Dai Mubai nodded.

"Beat him up, and what was the reward after the job’s done?" Flander continued in a hushed voice.

"Sponsor a plot of land for the academy, plus ten thousand golden soul coins!" Dai Mubai replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, the corner of Flander’s mouth quirked up as he arrogantally approached Chu Qin, "Who gave you permission to become an instructor at Shrek Academy?"

"Dean!" Before Chu Qin could speak, Zhao Wuji hurriedly said, "It was my decision!"

"Zhao Wuji, how much did you take?" Flander asked with a cold smile, "Such a young man, also to be an instructor at our Shrek Academy! Have you forgotten the rules of the academy?"

"Dean, I didn’t... It was..." Zhao Wuji quickly retorted.

Zhao Wuji hadn’t finished speaking when Flander cut him off, turning to Chu Qin, "I’m sorry, but Shrek Academy is not recruiting instructors anymore! However, if you can beat me, I’ll make an exception and let you become an instructor!"

It was clear what Flander intended—using the sparring as an excuse to give Chu Qin a beating and collect Dai Mubai’s reward!

However, his plan might have backfired!

At that, Chu Qin’s mouth also curiously twitched.

He was just fretting that the fight with Zhao Wuji hadn’t been satisfying enough to test his true level!

Flander, a seventy-eight-ranked Soul Sage, would be a fine choice!

Therefore, Chu Qin replied calmly, "Alright then, since you own the academy, your word is law!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately snickered to himself!

"Chu Qin ah Chu Qin, I, Dai Mubai, am not so easily messed with!" Dai Mubai thought to himself, "Wait till the Dean gives you a thrashing!"

"Boss!" At this moment, Zhao Wuji tried to interject, "Chu Qin, he has already..."

"Zhao Wuji, whatever favor you’ve received, I’ll settle with you later!" Flander frowned and said.

Dai Mubai had promised ten thousand golden soul coins and a plot of land—Zhao Wuji had better not ruin it!

"Chu Qin, isn’t it? Make your move!"

As he spoke, behind Flander, a shadowy black Cat Owl cried out and at his feet, seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, three black—flickered!

"Flander, seventy-eight-ranked Cat Owl Battle Soul Saint!" Flander said, looking at Chu Qin with a smile, "Come on, don’t say I’m bullying you. How about this, I won’t use my Martial Soul True Body, and if you can last against me for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I’ll make an exception and let you become an instructor at Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing these words, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others all turned their gazes towards Zhao Wuji.

Touching the back of his head, a sly grin crossed Zhao Wuji’s thoughts: "Heh, Boss Flander, it’s worth it just to see you get beaten up!"

Flander glanced at the expressions of Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and others, and his heart suddenly sank.

In their eyes, there was an unmistakable hint of schadenfreude.

Why did he feel like they were all waiting to see him made a fool of?

The next moment, his glasses nearly fell off—before him Chu Qin revealed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at his feet!

"One, two... Six rings, Soul Emperor with six rings, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!" Flander gasped in surprise, unable to finish his sentence.

The smile froze on Dai Mubai’s face as he swallowed hard.

"How old are you?" It took a while before Flander managed to ask Chu Qin reflexively.

"Seventeen, boss!" Zhao Wuji answered.

"Seventeen?" Flander’s brows furrowed, then his eyes lit up as he suddenly remembered something!

While Flander was pondering, a black and gold spear materialized in front of him, thrusting at him unexpectedly!

Unlike Zhao Wuji, who was a power-type Soul Master usually perceived as slow, Flander was a nimble attack-type. With a flutter of the Cat Owl wings behind him, he evaded Chu Qin’s strike!

"We haven’t started, why did you attack already?" Flander asked with a frown.

"Flander, on the battlefield no one gives you time to prepare!" Chu Qin said with a serene smile.
