Chapter 141: Lou Gao Cripples His Own Hands! Chu Chen's Goal: Unite Douluo!
"This..."
Once everything returned to silence, Lou Gao, who had been hiding earlier, finally dared to emerge. Looking at the corpses of Yang Wudi and the other three on the ground, as well as the blood-soaked Tang Sect, he collapsed to the ground in terror.
"This... what kind of sin have I committed..."
Lou Gao's eyes were vacant, filled with extreme fear.
He had been invited to serve as an Elder of this so-called Tang Sect, solely to forge those top-tier Hidden Weapons. How could it be that instead of seeing any Hidden Weapons, the Tang Sect had been slaughtered?!
Just how many people has that damned Tang San offended?!
"Hmm? There's still someone breathing?"
Chu Chen appeared in an instant. He hadn't truly left; after sensing Lou Gao's presence, he had returned immediately, just in time to see Lou Gao collapsed on the ground.
"You! You..."
Lou Gao was terrified.
Since Yang Wudi and the other four Soul Douluos were no match for Chu Chen, what could he possibly do? He could only beg for mercy.
"Um... I have nothing to do with Tang San, please don't kill me..."
Lou Gao begged repeatedly. It was hard to imagine that this was one of the three great Divine Craftsmen in the world; when faced with life and death, what could one not let go of?
"..."
Chu Chen merely looked at Lou Gao indifferently and said softly, "Cripple your own hands, and I will spare your life. Otherwise... Yang Wudi and the others have just stepped into the gates of hell; perhaps they can wait a step for you."
Lou Gao was in despair.
If his hands were crippled, what would be left of him? His forging skills were what he was most proud of. Without them, he would be nothing—a useless cripple.
"No... you cannot do this to me. The only useful thing I have are my hands. Without them... I am useless."
Lou Gao said with a trembling voice, begging Chu Chen.
"Swoosh—!"
The Destruction Dragon Spear flashed, grazing Lou Gao's neck. A bloody scratch appeared, scaring Lou Gao into immediate rigidity.
"I'll cripple them, I'll cripple them!"
Lou Gao wailed.
By the time Chu Chen walked out of the Tang Sect, the painful wails of Lou Gao after crippling his hands echoed from behind. No matter how strong a Divine Craftsman might be, what of it? Having lost his hands, surely he couldn't forge with his feet?
If he really could forge with his feet, then I'll concede!
...
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Chu Chen, you're finally back. I've already had a meal, and I still hadn't seen you return."
Dugu Bo had been waiting early at the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and finally saw Chu Chen. As Chu Chen approached, Dugu Bo keenly smelled the scent of blood, and the playful expression on his face subsided a little.
"What happened?"
Chu Chen smiled calmly and told Dugu Bo what had happened earlier.
"They deserved to die. They were just a few dogs discarded by the Clear Sky Sect. Did they really think they could turn the world upside down just by banding together?"
He sneered, but then he seemed slightly displeased: "You brat! You didn't bring me along to kill people. Do you think that just because you're powerful now, you don't need my help anymore?!"
"Bang—!!"
Dugu Bo gave Chu Chen a knock on the head.
Chu Chen: "..."
Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Old Poison, I was letting you have a good rest, why are you unhappy? Who was it that said they didn't like being ordered around?"
"That was in the past. Now my Soul Power is as high as level 96. Give me some more time, and I'll be able to reach level 97. Shouldn't I accompany you to roam the world and accomplish great things?"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
"By the way, what are your plans for the future? You have such a good relationship with Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall; are you thinking of joining Spirit Hall?"
Dugu Bo also began to get curious about the relationship between Chu Chen and Qian Renxue.
Didn't this brat already have a Miss Ye?
Good, good, good, he's eating so well!
"I will not join Spirit Hall," Chu Chen said without hesitation.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
Chu Chen said seriously: "Unite Douluo, establish a true Douluo Federal state. By then, there will be no more Empires, and no more wars."
Brief words.
But they allowed Dugu Bo to truly see Chu Chen's ambition. On the Douluo Continent, the Empires are currently in opposition, and Spirit Hall has been balancing the situation between the Empires for who knows how many years. How could it be so easily broken?
However...
If it were Chu Chen, perhaps it really could be done.
"Perhaps he really can do it," Dugu Bo sighed.
"If you really want to unite Douluo, you must give me an official position when the time comes. It would be quite nice for me to find a place to retire."
Dugu Bo seemed to have already started imagining the future.
Watching Dugu Bo walking ahead, Chu Chen took out two Soul Bones. They were two leg bones from the six Soul Bones obtained from Tang Hao after killing him.
Previously, Dugu Bo had only absorbed two arm Soul Bones.
Therefore, he currently only possessed one hundred-thousand-year head Soul Bone and two ten-thousand-year Soul Bones!
"What are you doing?" Dugu Bo was stunned.
"If these two Soul Bones stay with me any longer, they'll gather mold. Absorb them, and you will have no problem reaching level 97."
Chu Chen smiled and handed the Soul Bones to Dugu Bo.
Seeing Dugu Bo's hesitant expression, clearly wanting to refuse, Chu Chen interrupted him directly: "You don't need to decline. You and I are like brothers. Moreover, I already possess six Soul Bones."
"They are all at least the hundred-thousand-year level; I have no use for these ten-thousand-year Soul Bones anymore."
Dugu Bo: "..."
Why does it always feel like this guy's way of speaking is so punchable?!
"You brat, I really can't win against you."
Dugu Bo was moved, but he wasn't good at expressing his emotions. He just nodded heavily and carefully accepted the two Soul Bones.
"By the way, Old Poison, one of the arm Soul Bones you currently possess and one of these leg bones are Legacy Soul Bones from the Clear Sky Sect. You must be especially careful when using them outside."
Chu Chen cautioned: "Although the Clear Sky Sect has withdrawn from the world."
"Who knows when they might suddenly pop out? If they find out that their Legacy Soul Bones are on you, they might act against you."
Dugu Bo nodded seriously.
However...
After successfully absorbing the Soul Bones, his Soul Power would definitely reach level 97. Even within the Clear Sky Sect, those who could defeat him in a one-on-one fight were probably few and far between.
"By the way, that girl Qian Renxue has already told me the truth; she is Xue Qinghe, right?"
Dugu Bo said suddenly.
Chu Chen: "???"
"What?!"
Chu Chen looked at Dugu Bo in astonishment. Damn, so when those two were whispering to each other the other day, this was what they were talking about?!
"She actually told you such a secret matter?"
Chu Chen was indeed extremely shocked. Was Qian Renxue trying to win over Dugu Bo?
"She said she only told me because of her relationship with you, and even told me not to tell you for the time being," Dugu Bo joked.
