"Dai Mubai was the one who started it."
"I only fought him to protect myself."
With the entire school watching, Zhu Zhuqing stood surrounded.
She immediately gave a brief account of what had happened.
In short, she was not at fault.
Dai Mubai was.
She had not attacked anyone unprovoked.
Flender and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other.
They did not care about the grudge between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
They only wanted to know how Zhu Zhuqing had beaten Dai Mubai into such a sorry state.
They knew perfectly well how strong Zhu Zhuqing was.
It was not as though they were unaware of her usual strength.
Although Zhu Zhuqing worked the hardest,
she could never have been a match for Dai Mubai in an actual fight.
Much less severely injure Dai Mubai without getting hurt herself.
This was fucking unreal.
"Zhu Zhuqing, how did you hurt Mubai so badly?"
Yu Xiaogang asked the question he cared about most.
As Shrek's wise Grandmaster,
he needed to understand why Zhu Zhuqing's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Could it be that hard work really was useful?
Had Zhu Zhuqing been caught up in the daily grind so much that she could now crush Dai Mubai?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The moment the thought emerged, Yu Xiaogang dismissed it.
Yu Xiaogang did not believe the nonsense about hard work changing one's fate.
If hard work really was useful,
why had he been unable to break through level 30 despite working hard all these years?
Besides, Shrek's guiding principle was that talent mattered more than hard work.
After all, Shrek's standard had always been to accept only monsters.
In short, it accepted talented students and rejected everyone else.
Because Shrek knew that students without talent could only be mediocre, no matter how hard they worked.
Yu Xiaogang's curiosity
instantly drew everyone's attention to Zhu Zhuqing.
They, too, were eager to know exactly how Zhu Zhuqing had brutalized Dai Mubai like this.
It was no exaggeration to say that, apart from Tang San, no one among the Shrek Seven Devils could defeat Dai Mubai.
Did they think Dai Mubai was just a figurehead as captain?
Dai Mubai might not have been the strongest of the younger generation, but he definitely ranked among the best.
Faced with the question, Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of hiding anything.
Zhu Zhuqing moved her right leg.
The Feilian Tattoo appeared before everyone's eyes like a work of art.
"That's a tattoo..."
"You went to see Su Yu?"
"He gave you a tattoo!"
Ning Rongrong grew excited at once.
Having been through it herself, she could naturally recognize Su Yu's handiwork.
On the entire Douluo Continent, only Su Yu could create a tattoo like that.
"That's right."
"It was thanks to the Feilian Tattoo that I was able to crush Dai Mubai."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke as though it were nothing.
But in everyone else's hearts, towering waves had already surged.
No wonder Zhu Zhuqing had suddenly grown so much stronger.
It was all thanks to the tattoo's boost!
Just how ridiculously powerful were Su Yu's tattoos?
They had already seen it for themselves with Ning Rongrong.
Dai Mubai had lost to Zhu Zhuqing fair and square.
"Zhu Zhuqing, use your speed to the fullest."
"Let me see just how strong you are now."
Flender pushed up his glasses, wanting to test Zhu Zhuqing's current strength.
He was very curious!
Just how fast had Su Yu's Feilian Tattoo made Zhu Zhuqing?
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, without refusing.
Flender was also an agility-type Soul Master.
By going all out against him, she could find out her current limits as well.
To be honest, Zhu Zhuqing only knew she had grown stronger.
She had no exact measure of how much stronger she had become.
"Dean, here I come!"
Zhu Zhuqing went all out.
In an instant, she mobilized all the Soul Power in her body.
Zhu Zhuqing moved so fast she was like an afterimage.
She even felt as though she had become a gust of wind.
Free of worries, free of all restraints.
"So fast!"
Flender was shocked.
He activated his Martial Soul Avatar and flew away like a cannonball, vanishing from sight.
In the square, Flender dodged while Zhu Zhuqing gave chase.
The two moved so fast that ordinary people could not see them clearly at all.
Yes... that meant Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang could only make out two dark figures darting back and forth.
Yu Xiaogang could not even discern how strong Zhu Zhuqing was.
However!
To avoid losing face in front of the students,
Yu Xiaogang tried hard to look as though he understood what he was seeing.
He even nodded from time to time, like an expert giving his assessment.
Sure enough, his act fooled everyone else.
No one thought Yu Xiaogang could not see clearly.
After a test of her limits...
Flender finally determined just how fast Zhu Zhuqing was.
In a word, she had no equal below the Soul King level.
The current Zhu Zhuqing could completely dominate in speed even against someone two major realms above her.
That was the boost the Feilian Tattoo provided.
And this was only the beginning.
Against the real Feilian, even the God of Speed could not see its exhaust.
Zhu Zhuqing had not even developed a tenth of the Feilian Tattoo's potential.
As Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power grew stronger in the future,
the boost from the Feilian Tattoo would only become more terrifying.
Running across the entire continent in a single day would be no exaggeration.
Flender was filled with emotion.
"Monstrous!"
"Su Yu really is a monster!"
"After getting a Feilian Tattoo, Zhu Zhuqing was reborn and made a qualitative leap."
"If the others at Shrek could get tattoos too, the championship of this Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament would surely belong to Shrek."
Flender was still thinking about Su Yu.
But Tang San and the others were already staring wide-eyed in shock.
"Zhu Zhuqing, how did you get Su Yu to agree to give you a tattoo?"
Tang San could not wait to ask.
He had offered Tang Sect Hidden Weapons in exchange before, but Su Yu had still refused.
What kind of treasure had Zhu Zhuqing offered to win Su Yu over?
If possible, Tang San wanted a tattoo too.
Although he hated Su Yu and wished he could kill him,
that did not stop Tang San from wanting a tattoo.
He could wait until Su Yu had finished the tattoo, then put him on the path to death once he was no longer of use.
At those words, Zhu Zhuqing once again became the focus of the crowd.
Clearly, everyone was stunned by the tattoo's effects and wished they could get one themselves.
If Zhu Zhuqing's method could be repeated,
they would go to his door and ask, no matter how thick-skinned they had to be.
Faced with the burning gazes of Tang San and the others,
Zhu Zhuqing blushed, took a deep breath, and said,
"I'm Brother Yu's woman now."
Zhu Zhuqing's words immediately silenced everyone around her.
They understood.
Zhu Zhuqing had carried out plan B.
She had given herself up!
The thought that had just arisen in Tang San's heart immediately came to nothing.
Damn it!
"Su Yu really is a lecher."
"To think he's obsessed with that sort of thing."
Tang San was furious. He had nothing to offer in that regard.
Surely he could not carry out some plan B like Zhu Zhuqing!
He simply did not have what it took.
Unless he was willing to abandon his dignity and learn the Pythagorean theorem.
But that was even more impossible.
Never mind whether Su Yu had any such inclination.
Even if he did, Tang San could never agree.
He was a member of the Tang Sect, and he had lived two lives.
He had his own pride.
He would never give up his own Pythagorean theorem for a mere tattoo.
