Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

589 – Captive Team Leader

Yuanen Huihui rushed over with Tang Yuge. The storage bracelet on his wrist flashed with silver light and a pair of handcuffs appeared in his hand, quickly locking Deng Bo’s hands.

Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Mengqin were still waiting at the side. If Deng Bo were to free himself, the two girls would make their move.

Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief after he was handcuffed. He removed his hands from Deng Bo’s shoulders and retrieved his golden-patterned and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass.

Tang Yuge raised her hand. The few of them looked at each other and felt relaxed.

Deng Bo shook his head with all his might, but the buzzing in his ears didn’t stop. That blow just now almost ruptured his eardrums. If not for his strong cultivation and the protection of his soul power and spiritual power, he would have been injured.

But even so, being hit by the Golden Dragon Roar at such a close distance was too painful. He shook his head with all his might and only gradually recovered after a long time. When he looked at people, he could see double images.

“You guys… what are you doing…” Deng Bo’s voice was filled with anger and confusion, but his voice was still trembling as he struggled to stand up.

However, he realized that he couldn’t gather his soul power at all. A pair of broad palms pressed down from behind him and pressed him back onto his seat. It was actually Fatty Jin who had been released by Qian Lei.

Without the support of soul power, no matter how good Deng Bo’s physique was, it was impossible for him to compete with Fatty Jin in terms of pure strength!

Lan Xuanyu looked at Deng Bo apologetically. “Team leader, I’m sorry. When we’ll be back to the Mother Planet, we will definitely apologize to you. But we don’t have a choice right now! When we were notified of the contents of the final term exam, we were in despair too! But what you don’t know is that exam questions given by Shrek Academy must be completed no matter what, so we had no choice but to resort to this. Please don’t be angry, we’re not targeting you. It’s mainly because our academy is too wicked.”

Deng Bo was stunned. At this moment, he gradually returned to normal as he stared at Lan Xuanyu and recalled everything that happened before. A look of realization gradually appeared in his eyes.

“Good lad, you guys attacked the Black Fang implant store just now to lure me out, right?” Deng Bo raged.

Lan Xuanyu said, “We didn’t have a choice, did we? Initially, we were wondering if the Spirit Pagoda had a spacecraft that could bring us back to the Mother Planet, but when we got there, we realized that the next time we could leave this place would only be half a month later by boarding the Spirit Pagoda’s warship. I don’t know if you had calculated this time beforehand, but we had no other choice. Even if we snatched a pirate warship, we wouldn’t have been able to return to the Mother Planet safely! After all, we wouldn’t be able to get past the Federal Fleet. So, after thinking about it, we realized that only the warship that we came from would have the highest chance of sending us back before the time is up. So, we could only come up with this plan.”

Deng Bo’s guess was right. From the beginning, Lan Xuanyu’s team only had one goal in mind when they attacked the Black Fang store—to lure him out.

With Lan Xuanyu’s intelligence, how could he not have thought that the Tang Sect would protect them in the dark? This was inevitable! They were the proud sons of heaven from Shrek Academy, and this was Heaven Planet filled with danger. In such a place, it was too easy for them to be in danger, and this was definitely not what the academy wanted. Since they came with the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect would naturally protect them in the dark, and the captain who brought them here was even more duty-bound.

The reason why they were looking for the liveliest place was to make a big deal out of it and attract Deng Bo over. Robbing the Black Fang implant store was just a side bonus. Once the matter blew up and Deng Bo felt that they could no longer handle it, he would naturally appear. And this was the opportunity they were looking for.

Why did Lan Xuanyu ask Deng Bo if he was the only one here? He even asked how to block radars on the way back because he was preparing for his next move. After getting the answer he wanted, Lan Xuanyu attacked without hesitation.

How could Deng Bo expect that these little guys that he saved would suddenly attack him?

He looked at Lan Xuanyu and then at the other innocent little guys. After a long time, he finally said, “You guys really know how to play…”

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “You must believe us. We were forced and we didn’t want to do this.”

Deng Bo said in annoyance, “You guys were forced? Then what’s up with these Sacred Restraining Cuffs?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “I bought it when I saw that it looked fun in the academy’s Exchange Center. It can only restrict soul masters below the Title Douluo level. Actually, the biggest problem with my plan is that if you were a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level or above, we would have failed. So, it was still very risky.”

“Fun? If it looks fun, you’d buy Sacred Restraining Cuffs? This thing isn’t cheap, right?” Deng Bo’s eyes widened.

Lan Xuanyu sighed softly and said, “It’s not cheap, but I was afraid that the academy might have given us a mission to capture prisoners. It would have been much more convenient with this. Don’t worry, we will protect you well. If there’s any danger that we can’t handle, we will let you go.”

Deng Bo said in surprise, “What? You guys still plan to confine me?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Before returning to the Mother Planet, to prevent any accidents from happening in our final exams, I can only trouble you.” He obviously wouldn’t let go of Deng Bo at this time, even if Deng Bo promised that he wouldn’t toy with them anymore. It was better to keep everything in his hands.

“B*stards, are you guys crazy? Aren’t you guys afraid that I will report you guys when I return to your academy?”

Qian Lei chuckled and said, “We’re not afraid. We’re just doing things according to the academy’s final exam requirement and the academy didn’t say that we can’t arrest you. This is all because our academy’s final exam is too weird. If you complain, you can complain to our academy when you go back, you really can’t blame us. Also, our academy is known for grooming monsters. As long as we can complete the final exam and not violate justice, they definitely won’t punish us. Seeing that we brought you back like this, it’s useless even if you complain because they will definitely think that you’ll be taking revenge.”

“I…” Deng Bo had never felt so aggrieved before. He was forced to this extent by a group of teenagers.

In fact, he was quite unlucky. His cultivation was exactly at the rank of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and he was also a Three-Word Battle Armor Master. Under normal circumstances, Lan Xuanyu and the others wouldn’t be his match even if they were all one rank stronger! This was also the reason for his carelessness, and he was now unable to break free from the Sacred Restraining Cuff.

“Boss, what do we do next?” Qian Lei asked.

Lan Xuanyu said, “We’ll do as the captain instructed. We’ll rest for a day first and then head back. Let’s find something to eat. Xiuxiu, I’ll trouble you for the cooking.”

Ever since Bai Xiuxiu displayed her culinary skills, Lan Xuanyu had a vivid memory of that day’s barbecue.

They walked around the small building. There were four bedrooms and it was easy to split them up. Lan Xuanyu shared a room with Deng Bo; Bai Xiuxiu with Lan Mengqin, Tang Yuge with Yuanen Huihui and Qian Lei with Liu Feng.

Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui were siblings and Yuanen Huihui was a girl at night…

With regards to this, the two siblings initially had some opinions, but there were only four rooms and it was most reasonable to distribute them like this. Lan Xuanyu rejected them.

There was quite a bit of food here and everyone had been hungry for the entire day. Bai Xiuxiu made some simple food for everyone to eat. The pitiful captain Deng Bo could only eat in handcuffs. His movements were unrestricted and he had no problem walking, he just couldn’t use his soul power. Lan Xuanyu kept a close watch on him to prevent him from causing any trouble and adding more variables.
