Chapter 107: Flender, the Bully Who Fears the Strong
Zhao Wuji’s cry of alarm naturally reached Flender’s ears as well.
The expression on his face was full of disbelief:
"A Titled Douluo?!"
"How is that possible? How could there be such a young Titled Douluo?"
According to the information currently known, Lu Chen, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were classmates at Nuoding Academy; they were all only twelve years old. Moreover, Lu Chen’s Spirit was the trash Spirit, Blue Silver Grass.
For such a standard trash Spirit to allow someone to Cultivate into a Spirit Master was already shocking enough.
A twelve-year-old Blue Silver Grass Titled Douluo!
Flender felt it was nothing but a fairy tale!
But the current situation forced Flender to re-examine the potential truth of this.
Even with his fourth Spirit Ability as a seven-ring Spirit Saint, Flender could only leave a few cut marks on Lu Chen’s Blue Silver Vines, unable to sever them completely.
Was this even still Blue Silver Grass?
The toughness of this Blue Silver Grass had already surpassed that of top-tier plant Spirits!
Then there was Lu Chen himself; without using any Spirit Abilities, he had suppressed Zhao Wuji after the latter used his first and second Spirit Abilities, using only pure physical strength.
In a brief exchange, he had directly crippled one of Zhao Wuji’s right arms.
Zhao Wuji was the Immovable Bright King, famous throughout the Spirit Master’s world. Let alone a Spirit Saint of the same Rank, even a Spirit Douluo one Rank higher wouldn’t be able to cripple his right arm so easily.
Unless Lu Chen really was a Titled Douluo!
A twelve-year-old Titled Douluo—was that really possible?
This question lingered in Flender’s mind, and with no one to provide an answer, he spoke with a heavy voice:
"Old Zhao, stop panicking!"
"Regardless of whether Lu Chen is a Titled Douluo or not, we’ve already made an enemy of him. Look at the Little freaks lying all over the ground."
"If we can’t take him down today, neither the two of us nor these Little freaks on the ground will be able to leave unscathed."
"Activate your Martial Soul Avatar. You take the lead in attacking, and I’ll support you. We’ll look for Lu Chen’s weakness and find a way to take him down."
Cold sweat poured down Zhao Wuji’s forehead. Enduring the piercing pain in his right arm, he nodded vigorously and said:
"I understand, Boss Flender. You’ve really screwed me over this time!"
"How is this an auxiliary Spirit Elder? This is clearly a power-type Titled Douluo!"
"If we can make it back alive today, you must give me a raise. Double... no, for work this dangerous, you have to give me at least triple the salary!"
Zhao Wuji took a deep breath and then let out a low, heavy shout:
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Vigorous Vajra Bear Avatar!"
"Third Spirit Ability: Gravity Enhancement!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Gravity Squeeze!"
His Seventh Spirit Ring was the first to light up.
Enveloped in a burst of earthy yellow light, Zhao Wuji’s figure suddenly shot up, turning into a Vigorous Vajra Bear over five meters tall in the blink of an eye.
"Roar!"
The Vigorous Vajra Bear let out a furious roar, but its right arm still hung limply. Clearly, using a Martial Soul Avatar couldn’t restore his shattered right arm.
Zhao Wuji raised his remaining left arm and clawed at the air toward Lu Chen’s position.
Third spirit ring!
Fifth spirit ring!
The two spirit rings lit up simultaneously!
The air suddenly distorted. Under the suppression of fifteen times gravity, Lu Chen felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.
But with his physical strength, this fifteen-fold pressure wasn’t enough to make him flinch.
After all, the pressure he endured when absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was much greater than this.
In the next instant, terrifying pressure swept in from all directions, frantically squeezing Lu Chen’s body, trying to push him toward Zhao Wuji’s position.
However, Lu Chen’s feet seemed to have taken root in the ground; despite the crushing pressure, he remained completely unmoved.
Lu Chen then gave a light chuckle:
"You want to push me over? Fine, I’ll do as you wish."
As he spoke, Lu Chen’s body suddenly relaxed, and under the force of the Gravity Squeeze, he quickly drifted toward Zhao Wuji’s position.
A flash of joy crossed Zhao Wuji’s eyes:
"Sixth Spirit Ability: Vigorous Vajra Roar!"
This was Zhao Wuji’s combo: first, use Gravity Enhancement to restrict the opponent’s movement, then use Gravity Squeeze to push the enemy toward himself, and finally use Vigorous Vajra Roar to heavily wound the enemy being pushed toward him in one go.
His sixth spirit ring flashed as surges of spirit power flowed to his throat. As Zhao Wuji opened his wide mouth:
"Roar!"
A roar tore through the dark night and shattered the heavens, forming a physical wave of sonic energy that blasted toward Lu Chen.
Lu Chen’s response was to erupt with fifty percent of his body’s strength and throw a punch. With a thunderous boom, the air was torn apart, creating a vacuum zone.
The incoming sonic wave entered the vacuum zone and instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Zhao Wuji stared in a daze!
This was his sixth Spirit Ability, his strongest ability second only to his Martial Soul Avatar.
Lu Chen had thrown a punch at random without using any Spirit Ability, matching his sixth Spirit Ability with pure physical strength alone.
He couldn’t believe such a thing was happening!
But it was indeed happening right before his eyes!
In the next instant, Lu Chen flashed forward while Zhao Wuji was still in a daze and delivered a flying kick to his head.
With a crack, his skull fractured, and his brain was rattled into mush. Even his massive five-meter-tall body was sent flying by Lu Chen’s kick.
With a crash, Zhao Wuji’s body smashed into a nearby shop, shattering tables and chairs everywhere.
And in the sky!
Flender was also startled:
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Cat Eagle Avatar!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Wind Blade Tornado!"
A resonant eagle cry echoed through the night sky. Amidst a burst of light, Flender’s body transformed into a giant owl with a wingspan of over seven meters.
His pair of massive wings flapped violently, whipping up a wild wind. Air currents gathered and condensed into sharp wind blades, which stacked up to form a wind blade tornado over three meters tall.
Under Flender’s control, the wind blade tornado rapidly sliced toward Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Lu Chen didn’t try to tank it. Using his flight ability, he swept through the sky in a smooth arc, dodging the incoming wind blade tornado.
Flender watched in a stupor, his voice raspy as he spoke:
"Flight ability... he really is... a Titled Douluo!"
Flender had originally held a sliver of hope, but now even that last bit of luck had completely shattered.
Earlier, when Lu Chen was mid-air with nothing to push off of, it should have been impossible for him to dodge the fifth Spirit Ability.
But since Lu Chen could fly, that was a different story.
Flender’s heart trembled. He voluntarily exited his Martial Soul Avatar state, descended to the ground, and knelt with incredible smoothness, kowtowing heavily as he begged for mercy:
"Your Excellency, spare my life!"
"We have offended Your Excellency and are willing to make reparations. We only ask that Your Excellency spare us!"
Flender was a shady merchant; people like him were the best at calculating gains and losses.
Once he was certain Lu Chen was a Titled Douluo, he didn’t hesitate for a second before sliding into a kneel.
Compared to his own life, a bit of humiliation was nothing.
"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre"—this was a saying of Flender’s.
But what Flender himself practiced had always been bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Facing a truly powerful expert, he didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect.
Looking at the kneeling Flender, Lu Chen suddenly felt a wave of boredom.
If Flender and Zhao Wuji had fought him to the death, he might have respected them a bit more.
But now, Flender had knelt just like that!
Lu Chen said with a mixture of amusement and mockery:
"I still prefer that arrogant and unyielding look you had just now. I hope you can bring it back."
"Get up and keep fighting me, and I might leave your corpse intact."
"You only think of begging for mercy now? What were you doing earlier?"
"You want me to spare you? What right do you have to ask for my mercy!"
Flender gritted his teeth, knowing that if he couldn’t satisfy Lu Chen today, everyone’s lives would be in danger.
He straightened up, condensed a wind blade in his left hand, and chopped straight down at his entire right arm.
With a crack, his right arm was severed at the shoulder, blood gushing out like a fountain.
Flender’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He kowtowed heavily once more and said in a pleading voice:
"Attacking Your Excellency is an unpardonable sin. I hope this severed right arm can earn Your Excellency’s forgiveness!"
Lu Chen landed on the ground, walked step by step to Flender, raised his right foot, and stepped on the back of Flender’s head, pressing down hard.
With a crack, Flender’s black-rimmed glasses shattered along with the bridge of his nose.
The intense pain made Flender’s vision go dark, but he gritted his teeth. As long as he could survive, none of this mattered.
Lu Chen gave a light laugh and said:
"Flender, oh Flender, you are quite decisive, severing your own arm just like that. Since Xiao Wu is still a student of Shrek Academy, I’ll spare you all today."
"However, there won’t be such a good opportunity next time. If you stand against me again, I will definitely take your head."
Upon hearing this, although Flender’s face grew even paler from blood loss, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.
He had finally made it through this ordeal today!
All around, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the now-conscious Dai Mubai watched Lu Chen humiliate Flender like this. Their faces turned red with indignation, but their fear of Lu Chen kept them from speaking a single word.
