Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King

Ma Xiaotao grew increasingly aggrieved the more she thought about it, and her gaze toward Su Yu became even more resentful.

However, Su Yu completely ignored her expression.

With his hands behind his back, he said indifferently, "Aren't you going to open the door?"

Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips, gave Su Yu an unwilling glance, but still stepped forward and opened the wooden house.

Su Yu then entered and began looking around.

The wooden house was not large, and upon entering, one immediately arrived in the main hall.

The furnishings were simple—besides a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else.

On the left side of the hall, a small door with a gauzy curtain acted as a partition. Su Yu guessed that behind it was Ma Xiaotao's bedroom and bathing area.

After scanning the room briefly, he retracted his gaze and said, "Dean Yan should have already spoken to you, so I won't waste any more words."

"Let's begin suppressing the evil fire. Here or somewhere else?"

Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips, her expression complicated.

She clenched her fists slightly, clearly hesitating.

But soon, a hint of determination flashed across her face, as if she had made up her mind.

"Let's do it in my room."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao closed the wooden house's door and lifted the curtain.

Su Yu followed her inside, taking only a few steps before entering Ma Xiaotao's private chamber.

A large bed, a wooden wardrobe, and a striking pink bedspread immediately caught his eye.

Su Yu paused for a moment—this fiery-tempered girl had such a girlish side.

Ma Xiaotao blushed slightly and said, "Please wait a moment. I need to change clothes. This outfit is inconvenient."

Su Yu glanced at her tightly wrapped school uniform, unable to see what was inconvenient about it.

But he couldn't be bothered to overthink it and simply waved his hand dismissively.

Ma Xiaotao gave Su Yu a deep look, her beautiful eyes flashing before she slipped into the partitioned area.

Soon after, the faint rustling of fabric could be heard.

Even with Ma Xiaotao changing just next door, Su Yu remained composed.

He casually pulled over a chair and sat down, his posture straight and upright.

With some idle time, his mind wandered back to previous events.

The behavior of Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, and Hua Yao had been exceedingly strange.

Not long ago, they had been strict and unyielding toward him, yet today, they collectively expressed their affection. That was utterly ridiculous.

At the time, Su Yu had been too surprised to think much of it.

But now, as he sat down and reflected, some thoughts began to emerge.

No matter how he considered it, the only explanation had to be related to Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy had done something to prompt such an abnormal shift in their behavior.

"So they thought one sister wasn't enough, so they sent three more all at once?"

Su Yu couldn't help but overthink it.

He had always been aware of Shrek Academy's intentions.

From Ma Xiaotao to Zhang Lexuan, they were essentially being used as tools to draw him in.

Shrek Academy wanted to establish a close relationship with him through marriage alliances.

Their goal was to influence him, indoctrinate him, and make him loyal to Shrek Academy.

That was their ploy.

But Su Yu had never expected them to be this ruthless—to go so far.

Sending three women at once? Absolutely absurd.

But he also had to admit, that while their tactics were dirty, they were undeniably effective.

Three tall, fair-skinned beauties with exceptional figures and unique temperaments—all throwing themselves at him.

The temptation was overwhelming.

Even Su Yu had felt his heart stir when they surrounded him.

If Zhang Lexuan were added to the mix, the impact would be unimaginable.

Shrek Academy, those bastards, really understood men.

However, Su Yu was rational—he wouldn't easily lose himself.

The attraction was an instinct, but as an intelligent being, Su Yu knew how to restrain himself.

No matter how tempting they were, women approaching with ulterior motives were never worth falling for.

Did they think they could control him with a few women?

Dream on.

If he got angry, he'd just take advantage of them and leave.

Who doesn't know how to freeload?

If he abandoned all morals, no one could manipulate him.

Su Yu silently ranted to himself.

Just as his thoughts ran wild, a noise came from the partitioned area.

Ma Xiaotao stepped out, her skin fair as snow, her posture graceful, draped in a sheer robe that left little to the imagination.

Su Yu caught a glimpse and was instantly stunned.

Her outfit was incredibly revealing—almost on par with Zi Ji.

Her long legs were slender and smooth, her swan-like neck elegant, her collarbones delicate, and the ample curves of her figure left one's blood boiling.

Especially in such an intimate setting, with just the two of them, the sheer impact was enough to make anyone's throat go dry.

"You… you must be insane!"

Su Yu rolled his eyes. "This is what you think is suitable for suppressing the evil fire?"

"Hmm? Why wouldn't it be?"

Ma Xiaotao tilted her head as if contemplating the question seriously.

Su Yu: "…."

"Ma Xiaotao, you're going too far. Do you realize we're the only ones here?"

Ma Xiaotao's cheeks reddened slightly, and she murmured, "That's exactly why…"

Su Yu: !!!

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

With a serious expression, he said, "Don't try these tricks on me. They won't work."

"Xiaotao, you should know—using seduction is the lowest form of persuasion."

"This only makes me look down on you."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes flickered, filled with grievance. "But haven't you always looked down on me?"

"There are so many female students in the inner court, yet you only target me."

"I admit my temper isn't great, but I can change."

"Su Yu, can't you give me a chance?"

"I like you."

Su Yu shook his head. "You don't like me. You just don't want to lose."

"What you're doing now is probably just a reaction to being provoked earlier."

"Seeing Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo's actions pushed you further."

"In your mind, you see me as your possession, don't you?"

"You think they're trying to steal what's yours."

"But have you ever considered that we never had any relationship to begin with?"

"You keep saying you like me, but from the very beginning, you've never shown any real affection."

"Every time we meet, we argue or fight. Where's the love in that?"

"Or are you saying that seducing me like this counts as love?"

"You—!"

Ma Xiaotao's chest heaved, her fair skin practically glowing.

Su Yu's words cut like a knife, stripping away all her excuses and exposing her true thoughts.

She wanted to refute him—to say he was wrong—but every time she opened her mouth, the words wouldn't come out.

Was she thinking like that?

No, absolutely not!

She liked Su Yu, and Su Yu was supposed to be hers.

Su Yu's words didn't comfort Ma Xiaotao; instead, they made her even more extreme.

Ma Xiaotao took light steps and quickly arrived in front of Su Yu.

Her figure was fiery and seductive—perfectly alluring, without a single flaw.

Noticing Su Yu's gaze, Ma Xiaotao's lips curled up slightly. She proudly pushed her chest forward and asked, "Do you like what you see?"

"Seems like you're not as upright as you claim to be."

Su Yu crossed his legs and said, "You dressed like this for people to look, didn't you?"

"If you don't even respect yourself, why should I respect you?"

"I was just trying to persuade you not to go too far, but if you insist on being reckless, I can't stop you."

"Besides, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense. If you want to dress like this, suit yourself."

"Let's start suppressing the Evil Fire. I have other things to take care of and no time to waste on you."

"Su Yu, you are an infuriating man who doesn't listen to reason!"

Ma Xiaotao said angrily.

She had already let go of her pride and dignity, lowering herself so much, yet Su Yu still treated her so indifferently.

She didn't respect herself?

She had endured the Evil Fire alone for so long and remained pure. How could she not respect herself?

Su Yu's words deeply pierced Ma Xiaotao's heart. To her, they were an insult.

She was willing to act like this in front of Su Yu because she liked him.

If it were anyone else, even if she had to die, she would never do this.

Yet, Su Yu treated her so lightly.

A deep sense of grievance surged in her heart. Her pink eyes gradually filled with mist, and tears silently rolled down her fair cheeks.

Su Yu: "..."

She's crying?

How annoying.

Su Yu rubbed his forehead. Looking at Ma Xiaotao's aggrieved expression, he felt no sympathy at all.

Under Ma Xiaotao's stunned gaze, Su Yu grabbed her arm and lifted her.

"You… What are you doing?"

Ma Xiaotao panicked.

Su Yu held her waist with one hand and directly lifted her off the ground.

Before she could struggle, an icy aura spread out, instantly freezing Ma Xiaotao into an ice block.

Then, Su Yu formed hand seals with both hands and strands of obscure light merged into Ma Xiaotao's body along with the chilling air.

It was the power of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art.

Half an hour later, Su Yu withdrew his Ultimate Ice soul power, and the ice block surrounding Ma Xiaotao shattered under his control.

Ma Xiaotao remained unconscious.

"It's much quieter now. What a troublesome woman."

Su Yu casually tossed Ma Xiaotao onto the bed and walked straight out of the room.

…

A massive city built on a mountain stood tall and imposing, exuding grandeur and power.

This was the headquarters of the Body Sect. Its influence extended for hundreds of miles.

As one of the rare superpowers on the Douluo Continent, the Body Sect's strength was formidable.

However, what made them truly feared wasn't just their strength but their domineering way of doing things.

Powerful individuals weren't scary; powerful individuals who acted unreasonably were the hardest to deal with.

Because of their unique style, the Body Sect had always been infamous across the Douluo Continent.

Few people dared to approach their domain.

But today was different.

A thin yet upright figure suddenly appeared outside the Body Sect's mountain gate.

It was an elderly man.

He wore white robes, and his neatly combed silver hair shone under the light. When his eyes opened and closed, they seemed to emit an endless sword aura.

Even his gaze was unimaginably sharp.

His arrival alarmed the guards. Instantly, more than ten figures swiftly surrounded him.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Body Sect's territory?"

The leader of the guards shouted angrily, exuding a powerful aura.

The elder replied indifferently, "I am here to meet your Sect Master. Please inform him."

The guard leader sneered, "Do you think the Sect Master is someone you can meet just because you want to?"

"Do you even know your worth?"

The elder's expression remained unchanged as his aura suddenly erupted.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine soul rings appeared one by one.

In an instant, a sharp sword intent surged into the sky.

The guard leader's expression turned to terror, nearly scaring him out of his wits.

"A… A Titled Douluo?!"

Seeing the nine soul rings beneath the elder, his attitude shifted completely. He now spoke with great respect.

"Senior, please wait a moment. I will report immediately."

The guard leader was only a Soul Sage. Facing a Titled Douluo, he wouldn't dare to be rude.

He quickly rushed into the sect, speeding towards the inner halls.

Inside the Body Sect's grand hall, a middle-aged man in green robes with a balding head—Du Busi—was leisurely sipping tea.

His eyes were half-closed, his head swaying gently in enjoyment.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside.

"Sect Master, subordinate Chu Xiong has urgent news to report."

Du Busi casually replied, "Enter."

With permission, a figure stepped into the hall.

Kneeling on one knee, he saluted and said, "Sect Master, there is a Titled Douluo outside the mountain gate requesting to see you."

Du Busi opened his eyes, slightly surprised.

"A Titled Douluo wants to see me?"

"What's his background?"

"Subordinate does not know, but his aura is extremely strong, surpassing that of an ordinary Titled Douluo."

Chu Xiong reported truthfully.

"Oh?"

Du Busi raised his brows.

"Then let him in. I'd like to see who this esteemed guest is."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Chu Xiong quickly retreated.

About fifteen minutes later, an elder stepped into the Body Sect's hall.

Several other elders had already gathered inside, each exuding a powerful aura.

Du Busi leisurely studied the elder below and let out a curious hum.

"A Super Douluo, huh? Interesting. Who are you, and why do you seek me?"

The elder clasped his hands and said, "I am Ning Chen. I have come today to make a deal with the Sect Master."

"A deal with me?"

Du Busi smirked playfully.

"What kind of deal?"

The elder calmly replied, "I wish to trade a piece of information for some resources."

"Information?"

"What kind of information is worth resources from me?"

Du Busi chuckled.

"A genius with a Body Martial Soul—does the Sect Master find that interesting?"

The elder smiled faintly.

"Hm?"

"What did you say?"

Du Busi's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming aura erupted from him.
