Someone Even Tougher Has Arrived

"Your Shrek Academy people are awfully arrogant!"

Meng Shu narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Zhao Wuji.

Meng Shu ignored Zhao Wuji's introduction. He was only a Soul Saint. He had bullied his wife and granddaughter—never mind a Soul Douluo, even one would have to answer for it today!

"Senior, th-this is all a misunderstanding!"

Zhao Wuji forced out a smile uglier than crying.

"There's no misunderstanding!"

Meng Shu's face remained expressionless. Had he stayed indoors for too long? Now even a mere Soul Saint dared to bully his family?

His gaze swept over Shrek's six students, lingering especially on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

"Senior, could you show mercy for my sake?"

Just as Meng Shu was about to make his move and Zhao Wuji was considering risking his life, Ning Rongrong, who had been hiding behind the others, sighed and stepped forward.

Without Zhu Zhuqing around, Ning Rongrong's relationship with the Shrek group was not particularly good, but at least it had not deteriorated to the point it had in the original story.

Now that the Shrek group had offended Meng Shu, by the unspoken rules of the soul master world, they were basically done for.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Meng Shu narrowed his eyes slightly at the Seven Treasures Token in Ning Rongrong's hand.

"This junior, Ning Rongrong, greets Senior Dragon Duke!"

Ning Rongrong bowed to Meng Shu and sighed inwardly.

"The eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, huh? But do you think you're qualified to speak!?"

A trace of disgust flashed through Meng Shu's eyes as he looked at Ning Rongrong.

He had heard of Ning Rongrong's terrible reputation. Seeing her today only deepened his distaste.

As a daughter of the Upper Three Sects, she had stood by without saying a word while her classmates casually bullied others. Yet now that her own people were being bullied, she had the nerve to come out and plead for them. She truly had no shame.

Ning Rongrong felt a little awkward as well. She had been too busy enjoying the show earlier. She had not stepped out to stop them when they were bullying others, but now that someone was bullying her own side, she had become so proactive. What a damn double standard.

However, Ning Rongrong was not pleading entirely for Dai Mubai and the others. She had stepped out now only because she did not want to be caught in the crossfire herself.

Otherwise, she could not be certain she would have time to prove her identity once Meng Shu made his move.

If she died then, she would have died for nothing!

But even after she had lowered herself and pleaded so softly, Meng Shu still refused to give her any face.

Ning Rongrong's temper flared at once.

No one in her life had ever made Ning Rongrong bow her head. Wasn't he just a Soul Douluo? She had two Titled Douluo grandfathers!

What the hell are you so arrogant about!?

"Then what if I insist on protecting them!?"

Ning Rongrong dropped the act. Her little witch nature erupted again as she planted her hands on her slim waist and stepped forward.

"Let me tell you, don't think you're so amazing just because you're a Soul Douluo! My Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu are both powerful even among Titled Douluo! I'm making this clear: I'm protecting them today. Go on, touch one of them if you dare!"

After speaking, Ning Rongrong even stomped her foot to bolster her imposing manner.

"Heh, Titled Douluo, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What impressive nerve!"

Rather than becoming angry, Meng Shu laughed. Red light flared in his eyes as he looked at Ning Rongrong.

A mere junior dared to threaten him like this. She truly did not know her place!

Would threatening him work?

Was he the sort of person who could be threatened?

He actually was. Although Meng Shu was angry, he truly did not dare do anything to Ning Rongrong.

Otherwise, he could not withstand the wrath of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But Ning Rongrong had humiliated him like this, and he could not simply leave because of a single sentence from her.

Otherwise, would he still have any reputation in the soul master world?

"Hmph!"

Ning Rongrong folded her arms across her chest, looking exceedingly smug.

"You are Ning Fengzhi's daughter. I won't touch you!"

Meng Shu looked at Ning Rongrong, then backhanded her and sent her flying. At the same time, he reached out and snatched the token from her hand.

"I'll take the Seven Treasures Token, and I will visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect someday to demand an explanation!"

"But right now!"

Meng Shu turned to Zhao Wuji and the others.

Zhao Wuji and the other five all took a step back.

Even the eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been sent flying with a single slap. What were they supposed to do?

"Which hand did you use to ambush my wife just now? Hold it out, and I'll spare your life!"

Ning Rongrong had pleaded for them first, and he had slapped Ning Rongrong afterward to vent his anger. If he went on to kill these people, he would truly offend Ning Rongrong beyond repair.

But didn't she want to plead for them? Slapping her once in exchange for the chance for her companions to live was perfectly fair.

Even if word reached Ning Fengzhi at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he could not say anything.

After all, Ning Rongrong had been the one to refuse Meng Shu a way out and press him relentlessly.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly intended to be that unreasonable, then they could only...

Hearing Meng Shu's words, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. Bringing Ning Rongrong along had not been for nothing—she was still somewhat useful.

But...

Seeing the cold gleam in Meng Shu's eyes, Zhao Wuji shakily raised his right hand.

He had never considered resisting. There was no need. If he did not resist, he would lose at most one arm. But if he resisted, he would probably leave his life here.

His Combat Power was strong, but Meng Shu was no weakling either. And he also had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Meng Shu expressionlessly raised his Dragon Head Cane and pressed the dragon-head end against Zhao Wuji's right arm.

Boom!

A flicker of Soul Power carrying traces of flame flashed over the dragon head. Zhao Wuji's entire arm suddenly swelled, then exploded with a boom into dust that filled the sky.

"Ah... ngh!"

The pain of losing his arm nearly made Zhao Wuji squeal like a pig, but he clenched his teeth tightly and refused to make another sound.

"You really are a man!"

Watching Zhao Wuji endure the pain as he used Soul Power to stop the bleeding, Meng Shu praised him sincerely.

But dealing with Zhao Wuji had only avenged his wife.

His granddaughter's grievance had yet to be settled.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's arm destroyed, the Shrek group were all horrified. The word terror was practically written across their faces.

"These two pieces of trash!"

When Meng Shu shifted his gaze toward them, a flash of resentment passed through Tang San's eyes. He glared hard at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then took Xiao Wu to the very back of the group.

If he and Xiao Wu were implicated because of these two pieces of trash, he swore he would make those two pieces of trash pay the price someday!

Meng Shu could still be bothered to speak to Zhao Wuji, but he had no interest in even opening his mouth for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

He simply struck the ground with his Dragon Head Cane. Two dragon phantoms flew out from the cane and shot toward Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun without the slightest deviation.

You dared covet my precious granddaughter? I'll cripple both of you!

The two dragon phantoms plunged straight into Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's bodies, then headed without hesitation for their fifth limbs.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, both men's faces twisted at once. They nearly simultaneously assumed the same Wudang stance and slowly sank to their knees.

Meng Shu did not touch the others. Out of consideration for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, merely punishing the chief offenders was already more than generous.

"Get lost!"

Meng Shu looked at Zhao Wuji and spoke without expression.

"Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!"

Seeing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's movements, Zhao Wuji knew what had happened. With a pale face, he bowed to Meng Shu, then hurriedly fled with the Shrek group.
