defying the rules of the gods, intimidating all heroes.

The day after Nishen Hall was established, Su Chen promulgated three iron laws, carving them onto the walls of the main hall of Nishen Hall with divine soul power. The calligraphy was bold and vigorous, exuding an unquestionable majesty.

First: Do not indiscriminately kill Spirit Beasts; Spirit Beasts and humans are both living beings of the Douluo Continent and enjoy equal rights to survival. Second: Do not oppress the weak; no Spirit Master shall bully the weak, or they will be expelled from Nishen Hall. Third: Do not submit to the God Realm; break free from the control of the God Realm and pursue the free development of the Douluo Continent.

Once these three iron laws were issued, the entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar again.

Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts have been natural enemies since ancient times. Spirit Masters hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings, and Spirit Beasts resist Spirit Masters to survive; this is the eternal law of the Douluo Continent. Su Chen's first iron law undoubtedly overturned this rule.

As for not submitting to the God Realm, it left countless Spirit Masters feeling shocked. In the hearts of the living beings of the Douluo Continent, the God Realm is a supreme existence, the destination of faith. That Su Chen dared to publicly declare non-submission to the God Realm was simply audacious.

Those who supported him believed that Su Chen's three iron laws were truly for the sake of the Douluo Continent and were an epoch-making change; those who opposed him believed that Su Chen was acting against heaven and would sooner or later be punished by the God Realm.

At this moment, however, Nishen Hall was a scene of busy activity.

Xiao Wu, as the Guard Commander, was training the guard members. These members were elites selected from the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest; they were powerful and loyal to Su Chen. Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow Pavilion had already begun operations, with its members infiltrating every corner of the Douluo Continent to collect various intelligence. Ning Rongrong's Resource Augmentation Hall was allocating various resources to provide guarantees for the development of Nishen Hall. Ah Yin's Life Altar was even more vibrant, with countless rare Spirit Beasts gestating and growing within the altar...

Su Chen took Ah Yin to patrol the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, hunting squads were active all year round. To obtain spirit rings, these hunting squads indiscriminately killed Spirit Beasts, leading to a sharp decrease in the number of Spirit Beasts in the outer areas. The first thing Su Chen needed to rectify with his first iron law was these hunting squads.

"Su Chen, look, there is a hunting squad over there." Ah Yin's voice rang out; her blue silver emperor vines had extended and already detected movement ahead.

Su Chen looked in the direction Ah Yin pointed and saw a group of Spirit Masters in uniform surrounding a century-old Earth King. Although the Earth King was not weak in strength, it was already struggling against the siege of more than a dozen Spirit Masters. Its body was covered in wounds, and it let out pained roars.

"Stop!" Su Chen's voice sounded like a thunderclap, and black God-Defying Soul Power spread out, instantly enveloping the members of the hunting squad.

Feeling this powerful pressure, the members of the hunting squad stopped their actions one after another, looking at Su Chen and Ah Yin in terror.

"Who... who are you?" The leader of the hunting squad, a middle-aged Spirit Master, asked, emboldening himself. He could feel that the strength of Su Chen and Ah Yin was far beyond what he could contend with.

"Hall Master of Nishen Hall, Su Chen." Su Chen said indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the members of the hunting squad with cold eyes. "The first iron law of my Nishen Hall is not to indiscriminately kill Spirit Beasts. You are killing innocent lives here, which has violated my iron law."

The complexion of the hunting squad leader changed. He did not expect to encounter the Hall Master of Nishen Hall, Su Chen, here. Recently, Su Chen's name had resounded throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

"Hall Master, we... we are just trying to obtain spirit rings. This is the only way for a Spirit Master." The leader explained hurriedly, his tone tinged with fear.

"The only way for a Spirit Master?" Su Chen sneered. "Hunting Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings is the old order. From today on, no hunting squad is allowed to set foot in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Otherwise, death without mercy!"

Su Chen's voice was cold and bone-chilling, carrying a strong murderous aura. The members of the hunting squad were trembling with fear, not daring to say another word.

"Get out now!" Ah Yin's voice rang out as her blue silver emperor vines lashed out, sending the hunting squad leader flying.

The members of the hunting squad felt like they had been granted amnesty; they scrambled to flee the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, never daring to look back.

Su Chen looked at the injured Earth King, waved his hand, and a stream of black God-Defying Soul Power was injected into the Earth King's body. The wounds on the Earth King's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It gave Su Chen a grateful look, let out a low roar, and then turned and burrowed into the dense forest.

"Su Chen, can this really change the relationship between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts?" Ah Yin looked at Su Chen with a trace of worry in her eyes. "After all, if a Spirit Master wants to improve their strength, they must obtain spirit rings."

Su Chen held Ah Yin's hand and said gently: "I know it's difficult, but I will find a solution. spirit rings do not necessarily have to be obtained by hunting Spirit Beasts. I believe that one day, Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts will be able to coexist peacefully."

Ah Yin looked at Su Chen's firm eyes, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated. She nodded and said: "I believe in you."

The two continued to walk forward. Along the way, they encountered several more hunting squads, all of whom Su Chen drove out of the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest with thunderous means. From then on, no hunting squad dared to set foot in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest again.

After patrolling the outer area, Su Chen and Ah Yin returned to the main hall of Nishen Hall.

On the walls of the main hall were carved the three iron laws of Nishen Hall. Su Chen sat in the main seat, while Ah Yin transformed into her original form, her blue silver emperor vines wrapping around the hall pillars, with Life Power overflowing continuously.

"Ah Yin, you must have suffered a lot when you were hunted by Spirit Hall back then." Su Chen looked at Ah Yin and asked softly.

Ah Yin's body trembled slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She nodded and said with a choked voice: "At that time, in order to protect Xiao Ling's father, Tang Hao, I had to sacrifice myself. If I hadn't met you, I might have only been able to exist in the form of a spirit ring forever."

Su Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He reached out and gently stroked her vines, saying gently: "I'm sorry, I came late. But don't worry, from now on, I won't let anyone hurt you again. I will take back everything Spirit Hall owes you one by one. The glory of the Blue Silver Grass will be guarded by Nishen Hall."

Ah Yin's vines gently wrapped around Su Chen's palm. Feeling the warmth of his palm, tears of gratitude flowed from her eyes.

"Su Chen, thank you." Ah Yin's voice was full of gratitude. "I am willing to merge my Blue Silver Emperor Origin with your God-Defying Soul Power to protect Nishen Hall and the Star Dou Great Forest together."

As her voice fell, a dazzling blue light erupted from Ah Yin's body, and the Blue Silver Emperor Origin poured into Su Chen's body continuously. Su Chen also released his own God-Defying Soul Power, intertwining it with Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor Origin.

A blue and black light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Nishen Hall. Ah Yin's body changed in the light; her vines became thicker, and the color became deeper, faintly revealing an aura of royalty.

"Nishen Blue Silver!" Su Chen felt the changes in Ah Yin's body, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor, under the fusion of God-Defying Soul Power, had actually evolved into Nishen Blue Silver, and her strength had taken a qualitative leap.

Ah Yin also felt the power surging within her. She said happily: "Su Chen, I feel that my strength has improved a lot. Now, even a Titled Douluo, I can fight!"

Su Chen smiled and said: "This is what you deserve."

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing hurried in, her face somewhat solemn as she said: "Hall Master, it's bad. Xiao Ling has sent Oscar and Ma Hongjun to sneak attack our outer outpost of Nishen Hall."

Su Chen's eyes instantly turned cold, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Ling is tired of living too long. Zhu Zhuqing, pass down the order to capture Oscar and Ma Hongjun alive. I want to let Xiao Ling know the consequences of offending my Nishen Hall."

"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing accepted the order and turned to leave.

Ah Yin looked at Su Chen's cold eyes and said softly: "Su Chen, this person Xiao Ling is insidious and cunning; you must be careful."

Su Chen nodded and said: "Don't worry, in my eyes, he is just a clown. This time, I will make him lose all face."

Meanwhile, at the outer outpost of Nishen Hall.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were leading a group of Shrek students to attack the defensive barrier of the outpost. The guard members of the outpost resisted stubbornly. Although the barrier was shaking a bit, it had not been broken.

"Oscar, hurry up and use your Sausage!" Ma Hongjun shouted anxiously. His Phoenix Fire kept bombarding the barrier, but the effect was minimal.

Oscar immediately activated his Spirit, and Sausages appeared in his hands, which he distributed to the surrounding students. After the students ate the Sausages, their strength improved, and their attacks became more intense.

Just as the barrier was about to be broken, a black figure suddenly appeared; it was Zhu Zhuqing.

"Shadow Raid!" Zhu Zhuqing's figure shuttled through the Shrek students like a ghost, and the dagger in her hand flashed with cold light. Every time she struck, a student fell.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun's expressions changed drastically; they did not expect that the people from Nishen Hall would arrive so quickly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you actually betrayed Shrek and joined Nishen Hall!" Oscar shouted angrily.

Zhu Zhuqing sneered and said: "Shrek cannot give me what I want; only the Hall Master is worth my following. None of you will be able to leave today!"

After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappeared again, activating her Spirit Fusion Skill — Hell White Tiger.

A giant white tiger phantom appeared in mid-air, letting out a heaven-shaking roar, and pounced towards Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were scared out of their wits. How could they dare to resist? They turned and ran.

But how could Zhu Zhuqing let them go? The members of the Shadow Pavilion appeared one after another, surrounding the two.

"Caught!" A member of the Shadow Pavilion shouted, tying up Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Zhu Zhuqing walked up to the two and said with cold eyes: "Take them back and hand them over to the Hall Master for disposal."

"Yes!"

The members of the Shadow Pavilion escorted Oscar and Ma Hongjun towards the main hall of Nishen Hall.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at their embarrassed backs, and a cold smile rose at the corner of her mouth. Xiao Ling, this is just the beginning.
