Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Su Ming snorted coldly, "Precisely because this is still during the competition, I held back. Dai Mubai's injuries may look severe, but I avoided his vitals—it's just superficial damage."

"Getting to Spirit King, and yet you're still trash, just as always. You think you can defeat your brother's Spirit Fusion? From what I've heard, even though they're Spirit Ancestors, their fusion has Spirit Emperor-level power. If you actually face them... you may as well go find a hole and bury yourself in it. Not much time left for you anyway, right?"

"You…" Dai Mubai managed only a single word before coughing up blood, slipping into a semi-conscious state.

Naturally, their commotion attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.

"Hey, isn't that the captain of the Heaven Dou team? Why's he suddenly attacking someone?"

"And that guy he injured… looks like the prince of the Star Luo Empire! Plus, the girl next to Su Ming is supposedly the prince's fiancée?"

"But I thought I heard that the prince was the one mouthing off… maybe Su Ming and the girl really haven't done anything."

Yu Xiaogang, seeing more people gathering, realized they needed to leave before the situation escalated. He was just about to instruct Tang San to take Dai Mubai back for treatment when an untimely voice echoed from nearby.

"Well, well, my foolish little brother, how did you end up like this after just a few years?"

Dai Mubai's face twisted as he recognized the voice—Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun from the Star Luo team had arrived, their match already concluded. Zhu Zhuyun immediately locked eyes with Zhu Zhuqing, a mixture of shock and complex emotions playing across her face. She hadn't expected her much younger sister to be stronger than her, with a ten-thousand-year spirit ring no less.

Relieved, Zhu Zhuyun thought, At least she's found someone strong enough to protect her, like the Heaven Dou team captain. I won't have to die, then.

Zhu Zhuqing, equally complex, was at a loss seeing her once-warm sister again. She wanted to say so much but didn't know where to begin.

"Dai Weisi! Look closely—I'm a Spirit King now! I've surpassed you!" Dai Mubai shouted through gritted teeth, trying to hold back his pain.

Dai Weisi laughed softly, "So what? Look at yourself—you've obviously used some underhanded method to get here. If Father finds out, you'll lose your claim to the throne." He paused, his eyes glinting mockingly. "And even if he doesn't care, do you honestly think you can stand up to Zhu Zhuyun and me with the Hell White Tiger?"

"Your own fiancée isn't even by your side anymore. What a joke."

After delivering his verbal blows, Dai Weisi turned to Zhu Zhuqing, his tone carrying a hint of threat. "Zhuqing, even if my brother's worthless, breaking off the engagement is a serious matter. Are you ready to face the wrath of the royal family? You're putting the entire Zhu family at risk."

Zhu Zhuyun's face filled with worry, but before Zhu Zhuqing could respond, Su Ming stepped forward.

"Dai Weisi, you're the Star Luo Empire's Crown Prince, yes? Are you really in a position to meddle in this? And aren't you actually benefiting from this breakup? With Zhuqing stepping aside, your victory over Dai Mubai is practically guaranteed."

Dai Weisi paused, glancing at Su Ming with mild surprise before laughing, "Well, well, it seems you and Zhuqing are quite close. And you're right; this whole affair does work in my favor." His tone turned darker, "But keep in mind that breaking off a royal engagement is a direct insult to the throne. Eventually, someone will have to pay for it."

Su Ming shook his head calmly. "I'll worry about that. If you or your family try to touch Zhuqing or the Zhu family… I'll be paying your empire a personal visit."

As Su Ming finished, a wave of intense killing intent radiated from him, laced with a heavy destructive force, a product of his recent training. Dai Weisi, caught off guard, staggered backward under the pressure, regaining his composure only to mutter, "Fine, I'll relay your words to the emperor myself. As for what happens next, we'll see. Let's go."

Zhu Zhuyun cast a final glance at Su Ming, surprised by his display. Maybe… maybe he truly has the power to change our family's fate.

The women standing behind Su Ming were equally surprised, witnessing a more assertive side to him that they'd never seen. Normally gentle, Su Ming was showing a dominance that was irresistibly compelling. Xiao Wu and the others noticed the way Zhu Zhuqing was looking at him, her eyes full of admiration.

Our man sure knows how to captivate a woman's heart, they thought, smiling knowingly.

And truthfully, they'd anticipated this—Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with Su Ming had been growing deeper for nearly two years now.
