Lies Don't Hurt, Truth is the Sharpest Knife!

At that moment, Yun Feng could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Dai Mubai.

At the same time, the Heaven Suppressing Stele within his Sea of Consciousness began to change once more.

A carving knife appeared, and after several strokes, Dai Mubai's name was prominently etched onto the Heaven Suppressing Stele.

Seeing this, the corner of Yun Feng's lips curled into a slight smile.

Facing the charging Dai Mubai, Yun Feng did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately activated his First Soul Skill, Heaven Flame Dragon Transformation! All his attributes received a tremendous boost, while fiery light flickered across his body.

"I think you're the one looking to die. Who gave you the confidence to shout and bluster in front of me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and white and red light collided head-on.

The clash of Soul Power and flesh erupted with a thunderous muffled boom. The shockwave kicked up dust several yards high.

Yet in the very next instant, the white light dimmed, and Dai Mubai's body was sent flying backward from the center of the collision.

However, just as Yun Feng wanted to press forward, Zhu Zhuqing stepped in front of him.

"Yun Feng, stop fighting. It'll cause trouble. I don't want you getting into trouble because of me!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, Yun Feng fell silent for a moment before deciding not to continue.

Still, even though he stopped fighting, Yun Feng did not hold back his mockery. "As a man, not only do you lack responsibility, but you don't even have the slightest bit of grace. You dare to act but not admit it. What trash!"

By then, Dai Mubai had climbed back to his feet. He could feel the scorching sensation on his arms, along with the intense pain that made them tremble.

In that instant, Dai Mubai realized that even if he used his Soul Skill, he still did not seem to be a match for the Yun Feng before him.

But when he saw his fiancée standing in front of Yun Feng to protect him, and heard that she was not concerned for him but worried that Yun Feng might get into trouble—

Dai Mubai nearly failed to catch his breath.

"Zhu Zhuqing, after not seeing you for so many years, you've certainly changed fast!"

Dai Mubai's words dripped with mockery; anyone could hear it.

Faced with such humiliation, Zhu Zhuqing naturally could not simply sit back and take it.

"At least I'm better than you. I've changed fast?"

"Why don't you take a look at what you're like now? You still want to defeat Dai Weisi and my sister? You might as well wait for death. That would be more straightforward!"

"No, you're already waiting for death. You idle your days away and indulge in the pleasure quarters. What right do you have to talk about me?"

Lies did not wound people; the truth was the sharpest blade!

After fleeing from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy, it was not as if he had never thought of cultivating seriously and one day fighting his way back.

But he did not keep that up for long before giving up.

After cultivating for so long, he had not even reached level forty. What capital did he have to compete with Dai Weisi?

So, over time, he deliberately tried to forget his mission and responsibilities, even forgetting Zhu Zhuqing, his fiancée, along with them.

It was only today, when he felt his martial soul stir and heard Zhu Zhuqing's name, that all those memories came flooding back.

He simply had not expected the things he did not even dare to think about to be pointed out so bluntly.

For a moment, Dai Mubai seemed to lose all his spirit.

Even as his mouth kept denying his own actions.

"What can I do? How am I supposed to compete with them? Their Soul Power is so much higher than mine, and I still have to drag you, this burden, along with me!"

"Either way, competing or not leads to the same ending. If I give up, maybe they'll only cripple my cultivation and spare my life!"

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhu Zhuqing seemed as though she had lost her dreams.

Her gaze became vacant. After laughing at herself a few times, she did not continue mocking Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai had already given up. Could she still place her hopes on him?

Seeing the two of them like this, Yun Feng immediately rolled his eyes. Then he reached out, held Zhu Zhuqing by the shoulders, and looked at her with unwavering determination.

"Zhuqing, don't let other people's thoughts affect your determination to become stronger. As long as you're strong enough, you can break every rule!"

"And striving to grow stronger for a goal isn't just about the final result. The scenery along the path to strength is worth savoring too, isn't it?"

Yun Feng's words seemed to be filled with energy. With only a few simple sentences, a faint light returned to Zhu Zhuqing's previously lifeless eyes.

At that moment, the disheveled Dai Mubai naturally heard those words as well.

However, Dai Mubai held the complete opposite view of Yun Feng's words.

He even let out a soft snort of laughter, as though mocking Yun Feng's ideas for being unrealistic.

Hearing that laugh, Yun Feng did not indulge Dai Mubai at all and said bluntly, "What are you laughing at? Want another beating?"

"Now hurry up and lead the way!"

Dai Mubai's mouth twitched several times, and his fists clenched tightly. Though he desperately wanted to kill Yun Feng before him, he knew he could not do it.

Moreover, that exchange just now had left both of his hands in unbearable pain.

There was nothing he could do. He could not beat him, nor could he outargue him.

Dai Mubai could only grit his teeth and walk ahead, but this time, he did not say a single word.

Zhu Zhuqing, who followed behind Dai Mubai, sincerely thanked Yun Feng.

"Thank you. You were right. Even if there's no hope, the path to becoming stronger shouldn't only focus on the ending. Perhaps the scenery along the way is quite nice too!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing understood, Yun Feng felt somewhat relieved.

After all, when he had read the original work, there seemed to be only a few normal people in all of Shrek Academy.

That was why Yun Feng rather liked the girl before him.

Before long, led by Dai Mubai, Yun Feng and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the dormitory.

Watching Yun Feng become so familiar with his fiancée, Dai Mubai felt extremely bitter inside and immediately said, "Zhu Zhuqing, don't forget your identity!"

Zhu Zhuqing had nothing to say about that.

But she did not respond to Dai Mubai either, merely walking straight into the dormitory with Yun Feng.

"Yun Feng, I'll help you tidy up!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai could no longer endure it. He flung his sleeve and stormed off in anger.

After seeing Dai Mubai leave, the two exchanged a glance.

But they merely smiled.

While Zhu Zhuqing helped Yun Feng tidy up the dormitory, Tang San had already followed Flender to the dean's office! Flender's office was also his residence. The room was simply furnished, containing only the necessities.

Flender sat down behind his desk. Looking at Tang San, a complicated look suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Is Master well?"

Tang San nodded. "Teacher is doing well."

Flender looked at him in surprise.

"You're his student? No wonder, no wonder he even gave you this belt. When I saw you wearing it that day..."

"Together with your age, I knew you were coming to my Shrek Academy. I just didn't expect you to be his disciple."

"Back then, he told me that one day, he would nurture a genius soul master who would shock the continent. It seems you are the one he chose."

"But why is your body so weak?"
