Can't Get It Up

How could Ling Hai possibly stoop to argue with someone like Tang San? Only after watching everyone retrieve their money did he finally leave.

During this time, Li Yusong and Dai Mubai glared furiously at him, yet neither dared to say a word.

Having just gone through a battle, Ling Hai had no intention of making another move. After all, he had merely sought justice for his granddaughter; he was not a bloodthirsty man.

After Ling Hai left, Han Yu lost interest in watching the show as well.

Since someone had already stepped in to teach Shrek a lesson, there was no need for him to expose himself.

In Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's eyes, he was only a Soul Ancestor for now. Once they misjudged his strength, he would reveal it. By then, the expressions on that master-and-disciple pair's faces would surely be spectacular.

However, what Han Yu had not expected was that Dai Mubai's skin was thicker than a city wall. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing about to leave, he hurried over to stop her.

Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and the others had originally intended to enroll at Shrek Academy. While Li Yusong brought Zhao Wuji into the academy, he also let them follow him inside.

After Ling Hai's disturbance, Shrek's enrollment this year was bound to be dismal. With the mindset of treating a dead horse as if it were alive, Li Yusong decided to bring them in first. Even if they could not become students, he could at least squeeze some money out of them.

"Zhuqing, why are you leaving?" Dai Mubai demanded the moment he approached.

Han Yu and Ye Lingling stood silently to one side. This was Zhu Zhuqing's personal matter; it was enough to let her state her own position.

"Dai Mubai, you should go back to your lover." After observing him several times, Zhu Zhuqing had long since become utterly disappointed in Dai Mubai. She pushed him away with one hand and walked off into the distance.

Dai Mubai still refused to let it go. He actually said, "Zhu Zhuqing, you bitch. Without me, just wait and see. Hmph, at worst, it's just death. Who's afraid of who?"

He had accepted being "bullied" by Ling Hai, since his strength was inferior. But being spoken to like this by Zhu Zhuqing—his fiancée, whose strength was far below his—had already pushed Dai Mubai's rage beyond what he could suppress.

Slap! Han Yu struck Dai Mubai across the face. "Watch your mouth. If you want others to respect you, first learn to respect others. And judging by what you've done, you clearly don't deserve anyone's respect."

Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of looking back.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai sneered. "Fine, Zhu Zhuqing. You really are a bitch, finding yourself some pretty boy."

"Is that so?" Han Yu sneered, then immediately drove a fist into Dai Mubai.

"Remember this: if you don't have the strength, don't embarrass yourself out in public."

Han Yu had no intention of killing him. When it came to Shrek's bunch of rotten trash, he needed to torment them all nice and neatly. If he killed Dai Mubai outright, Dai Mubai would not get to enjoy the methods Han Yu had carefully prepared for the future. Wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?

However, Han Yu's punch had contained a considerable amount of Fire Poison. Moreover, the place he struck was Dai Mubai's lower abdomen. In the future, Dai Mubai would most likely be unable to get it up.

The punch was incredibly heavy, and Dai Mubai fainted on the spot.

As expected, Tang San and the others successfully enrolled at Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai had both fallen unconscious again, so Li Yusong took over the fourth test.

Compared to Zhao Wuji, he was much gentler. Seeing that Tang San could quickly organize the others and launch an effective attack against him, he declared that they had passed the test.

However, with the academy in its current state, Li Yusong could not leave right away. After having Lu Qibin take them to the dormitories, he headed alone to Flender's office.

As Shrek Academy's strongest member, it was truly unusual that Flender had not appeared when the academy was facing such a major crisis.

Yet just as Li Yusong reached the office door, Flender happened to walk out.

Han Yu had seriously injured him yesterday, and after waking up, he had been hiding within the academy the entire time.

Originally, only Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin knew about this. But when Shrek Academy was attacked again today, Flender sensed that something was off. Seeing that Zhao Wuji had yet to return, he finally decided to go out and see what was happening.

After listening to Li Yusong's account, Flender frowned. "How did you provoke him?"

Ling Hai's identity was far from simple. Flender did not fear his strength, but he feared the people behind him.

Li Yusong sighed bitterly. He had merely been enforcing the rules Flender himself had established.

Yet he had ended up trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

Flender was helpless as well. His luck had truly been terrible lately. Not only had he been robbed himself, but the academy's income this year had also plummeted.

"Some people simply can't stand seeing Shrek Academy prosper," Li Yusong said indignantly.

Before founding the academy with Flender, which one of them had not been a fearsome figure renowned across the Douluo Continent? They had merely retired for a few years, yet people had apparently forgotten their former notoriety.

As the Dean, Flender naturally knew not to judge matters by their surface appearance.

"Lao Li, don't act rashly. That old fellow Ling Hai holds an extraordinary position in Suotuo City. And not long ago, I was robbed by a powerful expert for no reason at all. I think the people from the Balak Kingdom may be behind this."

"Not only are they refusing to let Shrek Academy pass the review, they're even trying to use this method to force our academy to disband."

As he spoke, he slammed his fist into the nearby doorframe as though it were perfectly justified.

For them, shifting the blame was simply standard practice. As for whether they themselves were at fault? Heh, in Suotuo City, they were the local tyrants. What could they possibly have done wrong?

"Take me to see Lao Zhao, quickly," Flender said anxiously.

Zhao Wuji was a pillar of Shrek Academy. Once they lost him, the academy would likely struggle to hold itself up with only one Battle Soul Sage.

On the way, Li Yusong told him about Tang San and the others.

Compared with Zhao Wuji's safety, the new students and Dai Mubai's injuries seemed completely insignificant.

Zhao Wuji had awakened by then, but the aftereffects brought by the Heavenly Flames prevented him from mobilizing the Soul Power within his body for the time being.

Upon learning this, Flender said gravely, "Lao Zhao, the person who robbed me and the person who attacked you should be the same person."

Judging from Zhao Wuji's description and symptoms, there was basically no doubt about it.

"Could that guy have some connection to Ling Hai?" Zhao Wuji asked.

Flender could not be certain either. However, the other party had possessed the ability to kill them but had not done so. He guessed that they had offended this person somehow. Since the other party had not gone on a killing spree, Flender felt that he had probably stopped after taking his revenge.

"Perhaps he's someone we offended during our wandering days, or perhaps he was sent by the Balak Kingdom. And he has powerful disguising abilities. Lao Zhao, we should be more careful from now on. Try not to get into conflicts with others."

Someone capable of defeating him clearly could not be a young man in his twenties.

Zhao Wuji nodded deeply in agreement.

"Dean, Mubai seems to be seriously injured. When I brought him back, he was already unconscious."

"Lao Li, why are you only telling me now?"

Li Yusong smiled bitterly. Just now, Flender had only had eyes for Zhao Wuji. How could he have listened to what Li Yusong was saying?

Let me recommend a friend's book, "Douluo: A Century of Legend—I'm Chen Xin's Second Uncle."

After transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he had planned to beat Tang San to a pulp,

only to discover that he had been born a hundred years before the timeline of Douluo I.

The Sword Douluo from the original work, known as possessing the strongest attack,

might very well be his eldest nephew, who had not even been born yet.

The author's ideas are ingenious, and the scope is grand.

Rather than a derivative fanfic, it feels closer to an original fantasy.

It supplements and improves the setting of the Martial Soul world,

making the foundation of this fantasy world far more solid.
