Under the joint efforts of the three Soul Douluo, Liu Erlong was taken down without any power to resist, not even causing a ripple.
With the "great smart one" corner of the Golden Iron Triangle missing, Flender dared not act rashly. He had to preserve his useful self; Liu Erlong was still waiting for him to save her.
He could only wear a B-face as he went to the stage to bring the members of Shrek down one by one, all the while being mocked by countless spectators.
The battle was over, and the farce was over too. Shen An led Na'er directly off the stage.
The opening ceremony concluded, and the audience also dispersed, preparing to boast to those who hadn't come about what they had seen and heard today.
Unlike the spectators who were elated from watching the match and eating the big melon, the people from the soul master academies all had grave expressions.
The terrifying dominance that Shen An had displayed on the stage was like a great mountain pressing down on their hearts.
Shen An had just returned to the rest area of the Heaven Dou Second Team when he was found by the Shui Bing'er sisters. Tom and Jerry also followed beside them.
Shui Yue'er was as enthusiastic as ever. Pah, a face-lover.
On the other hand, Shui Bing'er asked with some concern, "You were inexplicably washed away that day. We looked for you for a long time. Fortunately, you're alright."
Shen An recalled the bizarre sea wave from that day and glanced at Tom and Jerry without changing his expression.
"It's fine. That day was just an accident."
Shen An walked and talked with the Shui Bing'er sisters.
Suddenly, a ghost-like figure appeared. "What are you two doing?"
Xue Qinghe had originally wanted to congratulate Shen An on winning the first match, but ended up seeing him being pestered by the Shui Bing'er sisters.
These two little flirts. Instead of properly studying how to fight the next match, what are they doing running over here to chat about nothing? Xue Qinghe thought with displeasure.
Immediately after, another two figures appeared, the temperature of their gazes seeming as if it could freeze a person.
Shen An inexplicably shivered.
There's killing intent! At the side, Tom and Jerry grabbed Na'er and left.
In the exclusive rest area of the Heaven Dou Second Team, the Shui Bing'er sisters had already left.
"Shen An, why didn't you come back for so long? You just suddenly popped up today."
"Rongrong and I were both very worried about you."
"Not bad, Shen An. As expected of a romantic youth, with so many female confidantes."
"That's right, what Brother Qinghe said is right. If you don't explain clearly, this young lady will beat you to death today."
Listening to these questions one after another, Shen An felt his head was about to explode.
No, he could understand Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong asking him questions, but what was Xue Qinghe doing stirring up trouble? Were they still good brothers or not?
Fortunately, the Sword Douluo suddenly burst in, his eyes shining as he looked at Tom and Jerry, as if he had seen his own upgrading gift pack.
"I've missed you two so much! Let's go, let's go! Time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's find a place to have a match."
No longer indifferent, Chen Xin pulled Tom and Jerry and was about to leave.
"Meow!"
Tom let out a sharp cat cry. It just wanted to slack off and not move. A perfectly good cat was being stretched out by seven or eight meters.
"Grandpa Sword, be gentle!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Xin, who had reached the door, only then discovered that what was in his arms was always just the cat's butt. As for Tom's upper body, it was stubbornly holding onto the pillar of the rest area.
"Uncle Sword, you're really something. Shen An and the others just got back, and you can't even let the kids talk and relax for a bit."
The gentle and refined Ning Fengzhi walked in.
Only then did Chen Xin realize he had been a bit too hasty. His palm loosened, and Tom immediately sprang back.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe's eyes were thoughtful. Chen Xin is actually so enthusiastic about Tom and Jerry. This means those two little ones must have a big secret.
But what could it be, to make the famous Chen Xin on the continent lose his composure?
Xue Qinghe racked his brains but couldn't imagine that Tom and Jerry could actually treat Chen Xin like a baby when it came to swordsmanship.
"Uncle Ning, long time no see," Shen An said with a smile.
"Long time no see, Shen An. The elegance of that sword strike of yours, even Uncle Sword was full of praise."
"That's right, Shen An. I have a premonition that in less than twenty years, your swordsmanship attainments and cultivation will definitely be comparable to mine. I look forward to a battle with you then."
Chen Xin said with a solemn face.
Shen An smiled and replied, but he didn't quite agree with the twenty years Chen Xin mentioned.
He felt it would be ten years at most. Otherwise, he would be letting down the system on him.
"By the way, Shen An, I came here also to remind you. That sword strike of yours was too sharp, including that little girl named Na'er."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Shen An, then at Na'er, an indescribable emotion in his eyes. A six-year-old Soul Elder, and with three purple soul rings at that.
In the past, even if you twisted Ning Fengzhi's head off, he wouldn't have dared to believe it.
"This time, everyone's eyes will be focused on you. People can tolerate a genius, but they may not be able to tolerate a prodigy. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
"Others don't matter much. What I'm really worried about is Spirit Hall. If they have the heart to assassinate you, that would be terrible."
"In the coming period of time, you must be careful. If possible, I hope you can go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Shen An's expression did not change. To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
He had already prepared to face everything when he chose to smash through the Soul Master Tournament in the most shocking way.
What's more, his growth speed would definitely exceed everyone's expectations.
"Teacher, rest assured. Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to act rashly," Xue Qinghe said confidently.
"Oh? Qinghe, why are you so certain?"
Ning Fengzhi said with some confusion.
Xue Qinghe was suddenly at a loss for words, inwardly cursing himself for speaking too quickly just now.
She was now the Heaven Dou Crown Prince. She couldn't possibly tell Ning Fengzhi that she had already greeted the contemporary Pontiff, and that the other side wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"Teacher, this student believes that Shen An has the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as his backers."
"Even if any faction wants to make a move on him, they would have to weigh whether they can withstand the eruption of the two great powers."
"Even Spirit Hall probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
When Xue Qinghe said the last sentence, she felt a little against her conscience. What kind of strength did Spirit Hall have? No one knew better than her.
Even if the three upper sects came together, they wouldn't last against Spirit Hall.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and did not answer. Would Spirit Hall really be wary of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? He had his doubts in his heart.
"Many thanks for Sect Master Ning's kind intentions, but I think these shouldn't be a problem."
"If I encounter danger, I will run," Shen An said jokingly.
But there was another sentence he didn't say in his heart, which was that at worst, he would just whip out his Big Super Battle Suit and bring peace to this world.
"Alright. If you need anything, just let me know," Ning Fengzhi said again, then pulled the reluctant Chen Xin away.
"Then Shen An, are you coming back to the small courtyard with us?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with some anticipation.
She missed Shen An, very, very much.
Shen An smiled, "How about this? You guys go back first and take Na'er with you. I still have some things to deal with, and I'll go buy some things with Tom and Jerry."
"Brother Xue, you remember to come too."
After persuading the two girls and Xue Qinghe to leave, Shen An felt that the hidden gaze on him had not disappeared. A corner of his mouth hooked up.
This gaze had briefly disappeared when Ning Fengzhi arrived, and with Ning Fengzhi's departure, it had once again converged on Shen An.
Shen An was certain that the owner of the gaze was definitely a foe, not a friend.
He immediately strode out of the room. Let me see who is causing trouble.
