Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

Razer’s Soul Ring returns to Azurescale; Hinata shyly expresses her feelings.By the time they found the Thousand-Year Thunder Snake, it was already afternoon.

The Thunder Snake was coiled upon a massive rock, its entire body covered in deep blue scales that flickered with electrical arcs. From time to time, it flicked its forked tongue, emitting a ”sizzling” sound of electric current that left the surrounding air feeling numb.

”What a cool snake!” Qing Lin’s eyes lit up as she excitedly jumped down from the Dark Magic Snake. The Small Black Snake Swarm around her also hissed, showing their fighting Spirit toward the Thunder Snake. ”Lord Su Chen, this one is mine!”

”Be careful; its lightning power is quite domineering,” Su Chen cautioned. His God-Defying Byakugan was active, keeping a constant eye on the Thunder Snake’s movements. ”Its weakness is at the seven-inch spot. Use your Nishen Snake Control ability to pin it down, then take the opportunity to attack.”

”I understand!” Qing Lin nodded and took a deep breath, releasing her Nishen Snake Control spirit power. The Small Black Snake Swarm around her instantly charged at the Thunder Snake, coiling around its body like black lightning in an attempt to restrict its movements.

The Thunder Snake let out a roar, its body jerking violently as deep blue lightning erupted from its scales. The Small Black Snake Swarm was instantly electrocuted, letting out pained hisses as they one by one released their grip.

”Little Black!” Qing Lin’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly channeled her spirit power to heal the Small Black Snake Swarm. Seeing the Thunder Snake’s immense power, a flicker of stubbornness flashed in her eyes, and she commanded the snake swarm to charge once more.

This time, she changed her strategy, having the snake swarm attack from different directions to distract the Thunder Snake, while she herself held a small snake-shaped dagger and charged toward the snake’s seven-inch weak spot.

Sensing her intention, the Thunder Snake snapped its head around and spat a thick bolt of lightning at her. Caught off guard, Qing Lin was struck by the lightning; her body stiffened as a wave of numbness washed over her arm, causing the dagger to fall to the ground.

”Qing Lin!” Su Chen’s heart clenched, and he was just about to step in to help when he saw Qing Lin gritting her teeth and forcing her body forward to charge at the Thunder Snake again. Her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils glowed with a green light as she pushed her Nishen Snake Control spirit power to its limit. The Small Black Snake Swarm coiled around the Thunder Snake’s body once more, pinning it down firmly.

”Down you go!” Qing Lin let out a roar and leaped, pouncing toward the Thunder Snake’s seven-inch spot. Her hands gripped its scales tightly as she bit down with all her strength.

The Thunder Snake let out a pained howl, its body struggling violently as lightning power erupted once more. Qing Lin trembled all over from the electric shocks, yet she still bit down hard on its seven-inch spot, refusing to let go.

Eventually, the Thunder Snake’s struggles grew weaker and its body gradually lost its strength, transforming into a deep blue spirit ring that floated before Qing Lin.

Qing Lin let go and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Her arms and the corners of her mouth were covered in wounds, yet she wore an excited smile. ”I did it! Lord Su Chen, I did it!”

Su Chen hurried forward to help her up, raising his hand to release God-Defying Soul Power to heal her. ”You silly girl, why be so reckless? Don’t you know how dangerous that was?”

”I want to become stronger so I can help share your burden, Lord Su Chen.” Qing Lin looked at him, her eyes full of determination. ”I don’t want to always be the one being protected; I want to protect you too.”

Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to pat her head, his tone tender. ”I know you work hard and that you’re very capable. But don’t be so reckless from now on; it would break my heart.”

Qing Lin’s cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head and whispered, ”Yes, I understand, Lord Su Chen.”

After she finished absorbing the Thunder Snake spirit ring, her spirit power broke through to the Spirit Grandmaster level. The power of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was also enhanced, allowing her to better control snake swarms and even release a faint amount of lightning power.

”Lord Su Chen, look!” Qing Lin excitedly demonstrated her new ability, releasing a tiny arc of lightning from her fingertip. ”I can use lightning power now too!”

”That’s amazing.” Su Chen smiled and nodded, feeling happy for her.

Uzumaki Kushina stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder. ”Not bad, little girl. You’re getting stronger and stronger.”

”Thank you, Sister Kushina!” Qing Lin said with a smile.

Sister Xianglin also came over and handed her a bottle of healing potion. ”Sister Qing Lin, drink some potion and heal up properly.”

”Thank you, Sister Xianglin.” Qing Lin took the potion and drank it in one go.

Hinata stood to the side, watching Qing Lin’s successful breakthrough. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes, along with a bit of anxiety—of the Four Heroines, she was the only one who hadn’t found a suitable spirit ring yet.

Sensing her mood, Su Chen walked to her side and said softly, ”Hinata, don’t worry. We’ll go find a mental-type Spirit Beast for you right now.”

”Mhm.” Hinata nodded, a grateful smile appearing on her face. ”Thank you for the trouble, Lord Su Chen.”

The group headed deeper into the Black Forest to search for a mental-type Spirit Beast. The Spirit Beasts along the way became increasingly powerful and rare, but Su Chen’s God-Defying Byakugan was always able to accurately lock onto their auras.

By evening, they finally found a thousand-year mental-type Spirit Beast, a ”Dream Illusion Butterfly.” The Dream Illusion Butterfly was completely transparent, its wings shimmering with iridescent light. It could release powerful mental shocks that trapped people in illusions.

”This is the one; its spirit ring is perfect for you,” Su Chen told Hinata. ”Although the Dream Illusion Butterfly’s mental shocks are powerful, your God-Defying Byakugan can grant immunity to most mental attacks. As long as you can stay conscious, you can subdue it.”

”I... I will do my best.” Hinata took a deep breath, her eyes fixed determinedly on the Dream Illusion Butterfly. She knew this was her chance to become stronger and her chance to better protect Su Chen.

Hinata activated her God-Defying Byakugan, the faint black sclera and pure blue pupils intertwining as she observed every move of the Dream Illusion Butterfly. She slowly walked toward the butterfly, a faint mental shield manifesting around her to guard against its attacks.

Sensing danger, the Dream Illusion Butterfly flicked its wings, its iridescent light flashing as a powerful mental shock swept toward Hinata. Hinata was instantly plunged into an illusion—she saw herself being mocked by members of the Hyuga Clan, saw herself unable to keep up with Su Chen’s footsteps, and saw Su Chen being harmed by enemies while she remained powerless to help.

”No!” Hinata’s heart ached, and she instinctively wanted to give up. But at the thought of Su Chen’s encouragement and trust, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay conscious. The power of the God-Defying Byakugan erupted, and the illusion shattered instantly.

”Good job, Hinata!” Su Chen couldn’t help but cheer for her.

The Dream Illusion Butterfly hadn’t expected her to break the illusion so easily. A hint of surprise flashed in its eyes, and it immediately released another mental shock. This time, Hinata was prepared; the mental shield of her God-Defying Byakugan expanded instantly, blocking the mental shock.

She took the opportunity to step forward, raising her hand to release several mental rays toward the Dream Illusion Butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings to dodge the rays and then lunged at Hinata, its iridescent wings flashing as it tried to pull her into an illusion once more.

Hinata didn’t dodge; instead, she charged toward the Dream Illusion Butterfly. Her God-Defying Byakugan released powerful mental force that intertwined with the butterfly’s own mental power. Ultimately, relying on her firm will and the power of the God-Defying Byakugan, Hinata successfully subdued the Dream Illusion Butterfly.

The Dream Illusion Butterfly transformed into an iridescent spirit ring that floated before Hinata. After absorbing the spirit ring, Hinata’s spirit power broke through to the Spirit Grandmaster level, and the mental force of her God-Defying Byakugan was greatly enhanced.

She turned and walked toward Su Chen, her face lit with a happy smile, though her cheeks were slightly flushed. Reaching Su Chen, she hesitated for a moment before summoning her courage to wrap her arms around his waist. She whispered, ”Lord Su Chen, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I definitely couldn’t have done it.”

”Silly girl, it’s because you worked so hard yourself.” Su Chen reached out to stroke her long blue hair, his tone gentle. ”Keep up the good work in the future, okay?”

”Mhm.” Hinata nodded heavily, then looked up into Su Chen’s eyes, her gaze full of deep affection. ”Lord Su Chen, I... I like you. I want to stay by your side forever and protect you.”

Su Chen’s heart warmed. Looking down at her shy yet determined eyes, he let out a soft laugh, reached out to tilt her chin up, and pressed a gentle kiss onto her lips. ”I know. I like you too, Hinata.”

Hinata’s face instantly turned bright red, and she hurriedly buried her head back into his shoulder. Her heart raced as she felt his warm embrace and his affectionate confession, her heart overflowing with happiness.

Kushina, Karin, and Qing Lin stood to the side, watching the intimate pair with blessing smiles on their faces. Kushina stepped forward and patted Su Chen on the shoulder. ”Stinky Boy, Hinata is such a good girl; you’d better treat her well from now on.”

”I will.” Su Chen nodded, holding Hinata closer.

Karin said with a smile, ”Sister Hinata, congratulations!”

”Thank you, Sister Karin.” Hinata looked up, her face filled with a happy smile.

Qing Lin said excitedly, ”Now all four of us have broken through to Spirit Grandmaster! Our God-Defying Squad will only get stronger and stronger from now on!”

”That’s right.” Su Chen nodded, releasing Hinata and putting his arms around the Four Heroines. Black-gold God-Defying Power swirled around them. ”Our God-Defying Squad will surely stir up a storm on this Douluo Continent that no one can stop!”

The Four Heroines released their Spirits simultaneously. The red chakra blade, the green healing halo, the black snake swarm, and the faint black Byakugan shield intertwined, forming a powerful yet warm aura.

As the sun set, its golden afterglow spilled into the Black Forest, shining upon the five of them and forming a beautiful silhouette. Su Chen looked at the Four Heroines by his side and thought to himself: With you all accompanying me, the path of nishen will surely be incredibly magnificent.

”Alright, it’s time to head back,” Su Chen said with a smile. ”Tomorrow morning, we’ll set out for Suotuo City to meet that ’Child of Destiny,’ Xiao Ling.”

”Okay!” the Four Heroines responded in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

The group walked toward the direction of Saint Spirit Village. Their figures gradually faded into the distance within the Black Forest, leaving behind only powerful ripples of spirit power, signaling that the fate of the Douluo Continent was about to be completely rewritten by them.
