I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see how far this guy would go to survive.

"No, of course not!"

As Du Cheng expected, Shi Nian immediately shook his head as soon as he finished speaking:

"I'm just a vice dean; the dean is far more capable than me."

After finishing speaking, Shi Nian fixed her gaze intently on Du Cheng's face:

"If you kill me, it will be a provocation to the dean. At that point, no matter what the reason for the conflict was, he will take action against you."

To be honest, although he wanted to live, Shi Nian didn't lie at this time.

As everyone knows, Douluo Continent is a world where the strong are respected.

In such a world, reason is naturally not so prevalent.

Compared to bullying the weak, the greatest shame for a strong person is not being able to protect their own subordinates.

"You have a point."

Seeing the look of surprise in Shi Nian's eyes, Du Cheng nodded in agreement:

"However... I also believe that your dean is a tolerant and generous person, and he will definitely listen to my explanation."

"What do you think?"

"I, you..."

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Shi Nianhao nearly coughed up blood on the spot:

God's tolerance and magnanimity! If he were truly magnanimous, would he have accepted someone like me, the vice dean?

Of course, this thought only lingered in Shi Nian's mind for a few seconds before he dismissed it.

Actually... sometimes it's not that we can't be tolerant and generous.

Looking at the two women beside Du Cheng, who exuded a terrifying aura, Shi Nian felt like crying but had no tears:

If you had told me earlier that you had such a powerful protector, I wouldn't have dared to cause trouble even if I had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Although he didn't know the exact strength of Qingxuan and Qingyi, Shi Nian could sense that:

Their power is absolutely more terrifying than that of their own dean.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing that Shi Nian had remained silent for most of the day, Du Cheng smiled slightly.

Judging from the current situation, this guy should have figured out the situation.

"I've thought about it, I understand."

"In that case, may Dean Shi have a safe journey."

Before Shi Nian could even finish speaking, Du Cheng had already slammed the carrot down in his hand.

‘Pfft~’

His entire head split open instantly like a watermelon. Under Du Cheng's attack, Shi Nian didn't even have time to struggle.

"Dean..."

Despite disliking Shi Nian's character, Ye Zhi Qiu couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow upon seeing his own vice dean murdered.

With a long sigh, Ye Zhi Qiu looked at Du Cheng:

"Senior Du, the vice dean has been executed. Would you grant me the opportunity to collect his body?"

"of course."

Upon hearing Ye Zhi Qiu's words, Du Cheng nodded directly:

In their several meetings, Ye Zhi Qiu's behavior was consistently good; at least in Du Cheng's eyes, his character was much better than Shi Nian's.

"I would also appreciate it if you could help explain what happened today, Teacher Ye."

With his death, the surrounding environment was completely destroyed.

As he turned to leave, Du Cheng added:

"If they can't explain it clearly, they can come to me."

"I see."

Watching Du Cheng's departing figure, Ye Zhi Qiu's lips twitched slightly:

Based on that statement alone, even if he didn't want to, he had to explain himself clearly.

Losing a vice president is one thing, but if he loses a president, he'll really be out of a job.

Du Cheng, of course, had no idea what Ye Zhi Qiu was thinking.

Back in the room, just as he sat down in a chair, Qingyi handed him a piece of left arm bone, about seven inches long, with a slightly curved end and a protrusion resembling a three-inch finger bone.

"Young Master, this was obtained from Shi Nian."

Before Du Cheng could speak, Qingyi had already offered an explanation.

"Soul bone?"

Looking at the half-soul bone lying in the pale, delicate hand of the woman in blue, Du Cheng couldn't help but be stunned:

It seems that... in the original work, Tang San did indeed obtain a soul bone from Shi Nian.

So, does that mean I stole Tang San's opportunity?

Of course, this thought was ruthlessly crushed by Du Cheng as soon as it appeared.

How can you call seizing opportunities?

It was clearly my classmate, Shi Nian, who was the one who delivered the treasure; he should have chosen me.

However, this incident also served as a reminder to Du Cheng:

How could a proper time traveler forget something as simple as searching for corpses?

Should not!

It really shouldn't be!

"Keep this soul bone for yourself."

After glancing at the man in green, Du Cheng made his decision immediately.

Although Qingxuan and Qingyi each possess the strength of a Title Douluo and a Limit Douluo, their foundation is still slightly weaker compared to other experts of the same level.

Putting aside everything else, the two of them couldn't even scrape together a single soul bone.

A left arm soul bone would be just right to enhance Qingyi's strength.

"Thank you, young master."

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, a wide smile immediately appeared on Qingyi's face:

Compared to the soul bone, she cared more about Du Cheng's attitude, because it proved that she did indeed have a certain status in the young master's heart.

"I don't have any other soul bones on hand right now. I'll help you equip them when we meet again next time."

Du Cheng glanced at Qingxuan beside him and said a comforting word.

"Thank you, Master."

As Du Cheng finished speaking, Qing Xuan also revealed a big smile:

To reiterate, compared to material things, what they care about most is the young master's attitude.

"Brother Cheng, where did you go just now?"

Just as Du Cheng finished talking with Qingxuan and Qingyi, a small head peeked in through the door.

A suspicious gaze swept over the two women, and Xiao Wu's face revealed undisguised doubt:

She had already visited Du Cheng once when she returned. With the big battle approaching, she wanted to stay up all night to improve her strength.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it!

Given Du Cheng's lecherous nature, it's hard for Xiao Wu not to suspect that he might be looking for an opportunity to take advantage of Qingyi and Qingxuan.

Especially considering the lingering smiles on the two women's faces, the likelihood of this guess becoming even higher.

"Young Master was just assassinated, but we have just dealt with the enemy."

Sensing Xiao Wu's gaze, Qingyi quickly spoke up to explain.

Chapter 219 Fire Dance's Provocation

"Assassination?"

As soon as Qingyi finished speaking, Xiaowu let out a gasp.

"Brother Cheng, are you alright?"

Xiao Wu rushed to Du Cheng with a nervous expression, giving him a thorough once-over:

"How could someone be so wicked as to lay a hand on Brother Cheng?"
