Ma Hongjun cleared his throat and deliberately coughed twice, loudly enough that quite a few people in the restaurant turned to look at the Shrek Academy group.

His eyes rolled as he saw the timing was right. Ma Hongjun put on a show of whispering into Dai Mubai's ear, "That chick is pretty good-looking, Boss Dai. That group is from Blue Sunshine Academy, right?"

Zhao Xuan could not help laughing. This fat guy had quite a talent for acting too. Though he looked like he was speaking in a low voice, half the restaurant could probably hear him. The key was that his movements made it seem as if he was terrified of being overheard.

The girls from Blue Sunshine Academy did have some beauty to them. Although the girls from Shrek Academy were all budding beauties themselves, they were still flower buds and could not compare to girls who had fully matured.

Boss Dai craned his neck and glanced at the Blue Sunshine Academy group, then said disdainfully, "Blue Sunshine Academy? What the hell are they supposed to be?"

The entire restaurant instantly fell silent. Many people looked at the two groups with interest, paying particular attention to the Shrek group. They were clearly looking to start trouble.

Some guests sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly paid their bills before leaving, but even more stayed behind to watch how things unfolded.

The middle-aged man leading Blue Sunshine Academy visibly frowned, but he did not make a move. He led the Blue Sunshine Academy students to another table and sat down.

Several Blue Sunshine Academy students kept glancing at the Shrek group, their brows deeply furrowed.

The leader of Blue Sunshine Academy glanced at the Shrek group, then whispered a few words to a young man beside him. The young man rose from his seat and walked toward Dai Mubai.

"They're coming."

As though he had noticed nothing, Dai Mubai lowered his head to drink tea, a faintly mocking whisper drifting from his lips.

Just then, a waiter carrying dishes came out from the restaurant kitchen, headed straight for the Shrek table.

The approaching Blue Sunshine Academy youth suddenly quickened his pace. Amid the waiter's cry of alarm, he crashed into him, sending the dishes flying toward Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was about to dodge, but Tang San moved before him, extending one hand and using the Dragon-Catching Crane-Controlling secret technique. Not a drop of the overturned food spilled as he steadily caught it all.

The guests at several nearby tables widened their eyes and stared at Tang San in astonishment. That move had been incredible in both speed and skill.

Someone narrowed his eyes. The youths at this table did not look like easy targets.

Dai Mubai's eyes flared with anger, and he instinctively kicked out, striking the man squarely in the stomach.

The youth from Blue Sunshine Academy's expression changed. Unable to evade in time, he took Dai Mubai's kick head-on, his body arching backward as he flew away.

Dai Mubai had already been holding in his frustration these past few days and happened to need somewhere to vent it. Blue Sunshine Academy was simply unlucky enough to run right into the barrel of his gun.

Tang San frowned beside him. "Isn't it bad to provoke them like this? They haven't done anything to us."

Oscar chuckled. "It's fine. Blue Sunshine Academy already has a terrible reputation. From their dean on down, there aren't many good people there."

"Is that so?"

Tang San relaxed at those words and calmly looked toward the Blue Sunshine Academy group.

The flying youth crashed through a table and continued toward the Blue Sunshine Academy group. Fortunately, the people at that table had fled quickly when they saw trouble coming, or they would have suffered for no reason.

The teacher leading Blue Sunshine Academy's expression changed. He hurriedly rose and caught the flying youth. Dai Mubai's strength was immense; once he was stopped, the youth immediately spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wah," his whole body going limp.

"Sorry, my leg cramped up."

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger revealed his true nature. The disdain and contempt on his face carried an intense arrogance. Forget outsiders—even his own people felt like he deserved a beating when they looked at him.

Hearing such an obvious excuse, several people could not help bursting into laughter.

The Blue Sunshine Academy leader's face darkened even further. He handed the injured youth to another student to look after, then raised a hand to stop several furious students who wanted to rush forward. In a deep voice, he asked, "Which school are you little brats from?"

Zhao Xuan narrowed his eyes, wary of him suddenly attacking, while Tang San's gaze sharpened as he subtly shielded Xiao Wu and the other girls seated behind them.

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered, but instead of answering, he sat down and said solemnly to the others, "That's just how Blue Sunshine is—bullies who fear the strong. Look! He's asking around first to find out our background. If we're weak, they'll attack. If we're strong, they'll slink away with their tails between their legs."

The Blue Sunshine Academy leader's face turned livid as he glared at Dai Mubai with hostile eyes. The diners who had remained could not help laughing, and many gave the Blue Sunshine Academy group strange looks.

"Go! All of you, get them! Teach these brats a lesson for their teachers!"

The leader finally could not take it anymore. He stopped restraining the enraged Blue Sunshine Academy students. If not for the fact that he could not afford to lose face, he would have wanted to strike himself.

The remaining five Blue Sunshine Academy youths looked at the Shrek group with savage grins and summoned their martial souls without hesitation.

One white and one yellow—the five Blue Sunshine Academy youths all had identical soul ring configurations. But their martial souls...

A spear, a trident, a deer, a sheep, and a horse.

No matter how one looked at them, they were incredibly lame. Sure, Xiao San's martial soul was only Blue Silver Grass, but he had Innate Full Soul Power! Xiao Wu might be a rabbit, but hers was the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit!

At that moment, Dai Mubai pushed himself up and laughed loudly. "A bunch of trash! Brothers, summon your martial souls! Let's teach these Blue Sunshine Academy bastards a lesson."

Tang San shook his head helplessly. Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were eager for a fight, while Hermione and the other two girls had no choice but to rise as well.

Starting with Dai Mubai and Zhao Xuan at the front, the corner of the restaurant suddenly blazed with light.

Yellow, purple—there was not a single white soul ring among the vast array.

Dai Mubai used White Tiger, Possess!, and three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—moved up and down around him.

Zhao Xuan remained seated, quietly lowering his head to drink tea. Yet the three soul rings that appeared around him—yellow, yellow, purple—made it impossible for anyone present to ignore him.

After that, the remaining seven all had two yellow soul rings swirling around them.

The diners were stunned, and the Blue Sunshine Academy youths who had been preparing to charge over were so frightened that they froze in place.

Especially the two purple soul rings around Dai Mubai and Zhao Xuan. Their glowing purple light filled the youths' vision, making their hearts tremble uncontrollably.

"Thousand-Year Soul Rings? Soul Elders? How is that possible?!" someone blurted out.

They had thought that, as students of an advanced Soul Master Academy, dealing with a few youths would be effortless. Who could have expected this group of youths to all be terrifying monsters?

These youths still had childishness on their faces. Many looked only twelve or thirteen, yet every one of them was a Soul Grandmaster or above.

The teacher leading Blue Sunshine Academy was stunned, followed immediately by uncontrollable panic. Any force capable of nurturing such a group of little monsters could not possibly be simple.

He quickly pulled the frozen Blue Sunshine Academy youths back, then gave the Shrek group a long, deep look.

"I am Ye Zhi Qiu, director of the Blue Sunshine Academy External Affairs Department. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

In an instant, Ye Zhi Qiu's attitude had lowered considerably.
