Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Liu Feng climbed out of the cabin, walked over, and pulled Lan Xuanyu out of his cabin.

The two then looked at the cabin next to them. They were worried that Qian Lei might appear, and all their efforts would have been wasted.

“It’s alright, don’t worry. Even if Qian Lei is out, half of our accumulated points will be enough to enter the top 10.” Lan Xuanyu smiled at Liu Feng and reassured dhim.

Right at this time, a sharp shrill came out from the distance. “LAN! XUAN! YU!”

Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng looked back, only to see a figure pouncing over. Liu Feng subconsciously obstructed the figure, but the person was too fast and knocked him away before grabbing Lan Xuanyu by the lapels.

The person was no stranger to them but Ye Lingtong, who was brazenly killed by Lan Xuanyu!

At this moment, there were many people waiting around the simulation cabins consisting of teachers and students.

Some students had withdrawn back to their dorms to rest after the competition, but three students had yet to leave. They were obviously Ye Lingtong, Chang Jianyi, and Lu Qianxun.

Lan Xuanyu immediately realized the situation upon hearing Ye Lingtong’s scream. After all, they had stayed inside for many days going through battle of wits and courage. They had long placed the matter of killing Ye Lingtong at the back of their minds.

When she saw them coming out, Ye Lingtong was no longer able to endure and charged in but was stopped by Ji Hongbin, who was waiting for them as well.

Lan Xuanyu stared at Ye Lingtong’s flushed red eyes that were filled with resentment then turned to see Chang Jianyi and Lu Qianxun who had ashen faces and were also staring back at him.

Ji Hongbin spoke solemnly. “Xuanyu, Liu Feng. Ye Lingtong has reported that you guys have killed her for the sake of stealing her accumulated points. I want to hear your explanation.” This was absolutely something he did not wish for his disciples to do: to resort to unscrupulous means just to gain points. Additionally, Shrek Academy was extremely strict with regards to such behavior. If such a problem popped up, it would be impossible for them to enter Shrek Academy even with their points. It was certainly not a wise thing to do.

So, although Lan Xuanyu’s team had stayed in the test and most probably gained even more points, Ji Hongbin’s mood had been extremely bad.

Why was Yin Tianfan expelled back then? It was just because the academy believed he had a problem with his character! Lan Xuanyu was his disciple. Did that mean that the same issue would arise?

Without waiting for Lan Xuanyu to speak up, Liu Feng raged in anger, “Ye Lingtong, you’re deliberately inverting right and wrong. As a girl, don’t you have any face?”

When his words came out, everyone in sight was stunned. Ji Hongbin was equally shocked and looked suspiciously toward Ye Lingtong.

Right upon being deported out of the qualifiers, Ye Lingtong wailed accusingly that Lan Xuanyu had killed her for the sake of taking her points and cried for a long time with unstable emotions. After that, she demanded to stay and wait for the three and demanded an explanation.

But upon hearing Liu Feng’s furious rebute, could there be other issues at hand?

Lan Xuanyu patted Liu Feng’s shoulder and hinted him to calm down before bowing respectfully to Ji Hongbin. “Teacher, can I explain? I will take responsibility for every word I say. After that you can conduct a verification with Shrek Academy on this.”

Ji Hongbin: “Speak.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at Ye Lingtong without a shred of emotions in his eyes. When the initially emotional Ye Lingtong realized he was looking at her, she felt her heart shiver for no reason. She continued to glower at him despite the feeling.

“Ye Lingtong, let us be frank. Let me ask you, weren’t you being chased by three Ling Tian Academy students and was already on the brink of death? At that time, Class Monitor and Chang Jianyi were already ambushed and killed by them.”

“Yes, but…” Ye Lingtong’s heart clenched, she was stubborn and felt that regardless of anything, Lan Xuanyu should never have made a move on her despite knowing that she was unreasonable at that point in time.

“You only have to answer me yes or no. Let me ask you again, the team that you encountered. They were one of Ling Tian Academy’s top few teams and were stronger in comparison to you. At that time, if we did not make a move, would you have escaped? Under the situation where they had a flying Soul Master?”

Ye Lingtong’s breathing became somewhat unstable. “That flying Soul Master was already injured.”

Lan Xuanyu replied indifferently. “But they caught up to you, and that Soul Master that had the Nether Demon Spear. Was he someone you could deal with? They had two three-ring Soul Masters.”

Ye Lingtong turned her head away and did not reply.

Lu Qianxun then turned to Lu Qianxun and Chang Jianyi. “Class Monitor, Chang Jianyi. At that time only Ye Lingtong was alive, the two of you were not there. We were hidden in the trees and discovered that she was being chased and about to be killed. As fellow classmates, we went to assist her without shrinking from our responsibility. Not only did we obstruct them, we even had plans to kill them. But, having come face to face against them, the two of you should know how strong they are. We had no other choice but to unleash all our trump cards to only defeat them barely. And right as we were about to kill off the last person, Ye Lingtong suddenly made her move and killed him, stealing half of their accumulated points. Such an atrocious conduct to bite the hand that saved her, what do you think I should have done? We used up our biggest trump card and earned nothing.”

“The three of you are a team; it is normal for her to go over the line for the sake of the team. But we spared nothing to save her, yet she repaid our grace for selfish reasons and stole our rightful gains. I have my own team to be responsible for. Furthermore, I cannot tolerate having such a person to be my comrade because I do not know when she will make a move on us for her own benefit.”

Upon hearing his words, Ji Hongbin frowned. Lu Qianxun and Chang Jianyi’s eyes shifted onto Ye Lingtong. They were equally unclear as to what had happened.

Lan Xuanyu: “Before the qualifiers, I promised you guys that if we meet inside, we can form an alliance. If Ye Lingtong did not take the last hit and steal the points, we would have brought her along and continue with the test. We would even share some points with her if we had sufficient. But after what she did, It was impossible.”

Lu Qianxun could not resist blurting out. “But you could have banished her. Why kill her? She is still your classmate!”

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him. “Class Monitor, your words are rather selfish. You should very well know how much points the three Ling Tian Academy students had on them. How do you want me to account to my teammates when she took everything away? Furthermore, how long do you think she can survive alone under that circumstance if I had let her go? She would have died either way upon encountering other teams. And the points would be taken by them. In this way, why should I let other people take advantage of us?”

“But I am a girl, how can you do such a thing to a girl?” Ye Lingtong fumed. But her words had solidified Lan Xuanyu’s account.

Lan Xuanyu replied indifferently. “If it was in the real world, I would not have killed you. I would have let you leave and perish on your own. But since we are in Soul World, and you did such a thing, I did what I did for my team. We can’t give up on our chance just because of your selfishness.”

Ye Lingtong was so furious her fists were clenched tight, but she knew she could not win Lan Xuanyu. She turned to Ji Hongbin and pleaded with an aggrieved look. “Teacher Ji, Lan Xuanyu killed his fellow classmate in the competition, is he not selfish? I want the school to seek justice for us.”

Ji Hongbin’s expression was extremely dark. He looked at Lan Xuanyu then at Ye Lingtong and muttered, “The two of you have left me extremely disappointed.” With that said, he turned and left.
