Ma Hongjun Gritted His Teeth: "Tang San, Did You Do That on Purpose or by Accident?" "On Purpose."

Tang San looked at Ma Hongjun, who had been drenched like a drowned rat, and instantly panicked.

The latter gritted his teeth.

"Tang San, did you do that on purpose or by accident?!"

He directly yanked the rag off the waiter's shoulder and slapped it over Ma Hongjun's face.

As he wiped him down, he kept apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."

"Get the hell away from This Old Man!"

Ma Hongjun angrily shoved Tang San aside.

"What kind of filthy rag are you putting over This Old Man's head?"

"Tang San, are you fucking doing this on purpose?"

Tang San staggered back from the shove.

His hands waved nonstop.

He really had not meant to do it.

He had only wanted to show off in front of all the Shrek Academy students.

To let everyone see his strength and prove that he had not joined the academy through the back door.

But because he truly had what it took.

That way, he could quickly fit into this group.

Who would have thought he could mess up even that?

Tang San retreated flusteredly, not even daring to raise his head.

Meanwhile, the Canghui Academy group was laughing themselves silly.

With skills like that, they dared provoke them?

The young man who had made the move in particular quickly revealed a sly smile.

"I'm terribly sorry."

At the same time, one of his feet quietly swept out, kicking directly at a chair leg beneath Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly.

At the very instant the kick came, he rose to his feet and slapped the other man across the face.

The Canghui Academy student was sent flying, crashing through two tables in succession.

His face went pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wah," his whole body growing noticeably more listless.

Dai Mubai straightened up and lazily stretched.

"I'm terribly sorry. I hit a little too hard."

An uproar broke out in the restaurant. The diners near the two tables hurriedly got up and moved aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

The remaining six Canghui Academy students rose in unison and glared furiously at the Shrek Academy table.

That teacher darkened his face and shouted at Dai Mubai.

"What academy are you little brats from?"

Yet no one paid him any attention.

Dai Mubai's face was full of disdain.

By now, Ma Hongjun had mostly cleaned himself up.

Ye Xian also watched the Canghui Academy group with great interest.

As far as he was concerned, only this teacher was worth pulling out for a fight.

If he remembered correctly, this guy was a Soul King in his fifties.

Perfect for testing his soul skill damage.

The Canghui Academy teacher's face had turned livid with rage.

"What an arrogant bunch of brats. Teach them a lesson!"

Aside from the one Dai Mubai had injured and the sole female student.

The other five immediately charged at Tang San's table.

When the five Canghui students gathered together again, their fury had reached its peak.

They summoned their martial souls almost without hesitation.

For a moment, lights of every color flared brilliantly.

The five young men's soul rings were the same colors: one white and one yellow each.

Five Soul Grand Masters—not even one Soul Elder among them.

"White Tiger, possess!"

"Phoenix, possess!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun stepped forward first.

Especially when the former revealed three soul rings, the group of students was immediately taken aback.

At that moment, Ye Xian slowly rose as well.

He remained at the rear, his expression calm as he released his martial soul.

One yellow, two purple, one black.

The instant the four soul rings appeared, the five Canghui Academy students opposite them all took a step back in unison.

A purple Second Soul Ring and a black Fourth Soul Ring.

How was that possible?

The highest Soul Power among them was only level twenty-seven.

How the fuck were they supposed to fight this?

Even five Soul Grand Masters before a Soul Ancestor with such a terrifying configuration.

Would only mean two more slaps.

What made them even more unbalanced was that these boys before them looked far younger than they were.

Yet the strength they displayed was already far beyond theirs.

"Stop."

The Canghui Academy teacher finally could not hold back any longer. He stepped forward and waved at his students.

"All of you, stand down."

The situation had already gotten somewhat out of control.

After seeing Ye Xian's soul rings, he too had been so shocked that he could hardly speak.

These people had no simple backgrounds. He had to be careful.

With that thought, he slowly spoke.

"I am Ye Zhiqiu, director of the External Affairs Department of Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you are from?"

"We're from Shrek Academy."

Before anyone else could speak, Ma Hongjun answered smugly.

Ye Zhiqiu froze for a moment, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"Shrek Academy? I don't think I've heard of it."

A cold glint flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes as he snorted.

"What ignorance."

Ye Zhiqiu's face turned livid. The other side was showing absolutely no respect for him, a Soul King.

Before so many diners, Canghui Academy's reputation had been utterly disgraced.

If his students were useless, then he at least had to win back some face for Canghui Academy himself.

With that thought, Ye Zhiqiu stopped hesitating.

A light flashed in his eyes as he released his martial soul as well.

"Mystic Tortoise, possess!"

One white, two yellow, and two purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

"You children are ignorant. Don't spout nonsense in the future. Call out your academy's teacher!"

Ma Hongjun curled his lip.

"With an old turtle like you, you want to see our Teacher? The few of us are enough to deal with you."

Ye Zhiqiu was enraged, laughing instead in his fury.

"Hmph!"

"Today, I'll educate you in your teachers' stead. Let's take this outside."

The group took their positions in an open area outside the inn.

By then, Ye Zhiqiu's mind had calmed somewhat.

If he lost, then he would lose all face.

But with his pride and so many students present, he naturally could not choose to concede.

"I'll give you one more chance. It's not too late to apologize now. I—"

Whoosh—!

Before he could finish, a violet-red streak of light arrived in an instant.

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly activated his martial soul to block it.

Clang—!

When the arrow struck the tortoise shell, it let out an exceptionally loud blast.

He looked up and saw that the attack had come from the Black Ring Soul Grandmaster standing at the very back.

Feeling the utter lack of damage to his tortoise shell, Ye Zhiqiu snorted coldly.

"In the end, you're only a Soul Ancestor. Nothing special."

He was instantly filled with confidence.

At the same time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun unleashed their soul skills and charged forward.

At the back, Ye Xian's lips curved slightly upward.

It seemed his probing basic attack had directly baited out the other side's ultimate move.

"Third Soul Skill—Full Power Output."

"Fourth Soul Skill—Piercing Arrow."

Ye Xian's third and fourth soul rings flashed.

His right arm abruptly tensed as he drew the bowstring.

Three violet-red arrows began to condense in his hand.

A full five seconds passed, and the arrows' colors grew ever more dazzling.

A one-hundred-and-fifty-percent charged damage bonus.

At this moment, Ye Xian was roughly twenty meters away from Ye Zhiqiu.

Sniper's Focus could also increase his damage by one hundred percent.
