Sign In To The Goddess Harem In Douluo

Chapter 14: 

"Awesome!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but grin as he looked at the big letters spelling "Flander" on the agreement. At first, he had planned to trick Flander into the hospital for his own gain, but now, with this agreement in place, it was anyone's guess who would end up helping whom.

"Let's go over the betting conditions. If they're too tough, this agreement won't hold."

Ye Chen was clear about his stance; as long as the conditions weren't too extreme, he was on board.

Flander and Zhao Wujie exchanged glances and hurried to a corner of the square to chat.

After a bit, Flander returned to Ye Chen, looking a little cautious. "The betting condition is pretty straightforward. If, in a month, your soul power surpasses Dai Mubai's, you win. If not, you'll owe me 100,000 gold coins and have to accept my personal training guidance, no exceptions."

"Isn't that a bit much, Dean? This isn't what we talked about!" Zhao Wujie whispered, feeling that Flander had shortened the original betting period and added a personal training condition, which seemed a bit over the top.

"Alright, it's settled then!" 

Ye Chen agreed without hesitation and went back to reading his book, as if he hadn't just made a big decision.

Flander was taken aback. He expected Ye Chen to negotiate for better terms, but it seemed like he either didn't take the bet seriously or was super confident about beating Dai Mubai.

Flander couldn't quite figure out where Ye Chen's confidence was coming from. Did he think he could just coast along without training and still get stronger?

"Whatever, let him be. Once I win, I'll make sure this kid knows what's what."

They signed the agreement, and as Flander tucked his copy away, Tang San and the others returned from their run around the city.

Seeing them, Flander couldn't help but shout, "You're too slow! Do ten more laps! And Dai Mubai, since you're the oldest and strongest, you'll do ten extra!"

Dai Mubai's face went pale, and he nearly collapsed. "Dean, why do I have to run more? Do you know how long this lap is?"

Before he could finish, Flander frowned and said, "Make it twenty more laps!"

"Please, Dean, I know I messed up! Don't do this to me!"

"Fifty laps, get moving!"

Flander's booming voice left no room for argument.

This was about a bet of 100,000 gold soul coins; he couldn't let anything go wrong. Even if Ye Chen was being lazy and not training, who knew? He might be secretly working hard at night!

With that thought, Flander nodded to himself and called for the four-eyed cat eagle to catch up with the training team.

As Dai Mubai ran, he thought the dean was finally going to ease up on him, so he smiled and waved, "Dean, you finally have a heart!"

But before he could finish, Flander shouted, "Training is serious business! Dai Mubai, how dare you laugh at me!" A large stone suddenly fell from the sky, landing right in front of him.

After the stone hit the ground, Flander's figure vanished, leaving only his voice echoing in the wind.

"Carry it on your back and run; report back to me after you finish fifty laps."

Dai Mubai felt like he'd hit rock bottom, mumbling to himself in despair, "Is the dean out to get me? What did I do to deserve this? Did he find out I brought a girl back to the dorm last night? Why is this happening?"

With a long face, he got up and, feeling defeated, walked over to the large stone and hoisted it onto his back. He knew better than to defy the dean, so he silently accepted his fate.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to run over and pat Dai Mubai on the shoulder, unable to hold back her laughter as she dashed away, clearly enjoying his misfortune.

"Thanks for your hard work!" 

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Xiao Wu and the others followed suit, offering their "comfort" before quickly disappearing from Dai Mubai's view, leaving him alone to carry the heavy stone as the sun set.

By the time night fell, Dai Mubai finally finished his fifty laps. Just when he thought he could finally rest, Flander pulled him into the Soul Hunting Forest, and they rushed back to Shrek the next noon.

Tang San and the others were initially puzzled by the dean's harsh training methods for Dai Mubai. Later, they learned from Zhao Wujin that it was all tied to a bet between the dean and Ye Chen.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was living life as usual, eating and sleeping without a care in the world about training.

Ten days flew by. One morning, Tang San found Ye Chen still snoozing away.

"Remember that agreement from six years ago? I know you've been taking it easy and not training or getting soul rings because you want to fight me fairly. Well, it's time."

Tang San watched as Ye Chen's inner power surged, showing he had recently broken through to level 30.

"Sure, I'm curious to see your true strength."

Ye Chen nodded and followed Tang San to the grass outside their dorm.

It had been six years, and the two boys from Holy Soul Village had changed so much; this match was inevitable.

Their gathering drew a crowd, with Flander and Dai Mubai securing the best spots to watch.

"Mubai, pay attention. This battle might show us Ye Chen's true strength. Both of these kids seem extraordinary."

Dai Mubai nodded slightly, having stopped complaining since learning about the bet.

He didn't want to lose to Ye Chen again, so he pushed through the tough training.

Nearby, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged glances before speaking up.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Of course, it's my brother. His true combat power is way beyond what he's showing now."

"I think Tang San is pretty mysterious too, but I believe in Ye Chen. He's definitely going to win."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly chimed in, "I think Ye Chen will win as well."

As soon as she said that, Ning Rongrong turned to her, grinning as she hugged her own perfect figure, "Do you like Ye Chen too? Don't deny it; I've noticed some chemistry between you two. you have been exchanging glances at him"

"Rongrong, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not trying to compete with you for Ye Chen; I just can't help how I feel."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't deny it; she just felt like she might have developed feelings for him.

"Hmph, at least you're honest." Ning Rongrong pouted and added, "We can both like Ye Chen, but Zhuqing, you have to promise me you won't keep him all to yourself. If you really want to do it, we should do it together."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit flustered by Ning Rongrong's words, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of red.

Note : Guys, some power stones will be really helpful.
