Flander shook his head. "I searched along the traces that person left behind, starting from near Dai Mubai's dormitory, but I still couldn't find him. He seemed to be even faster than I was. He truly was an incredibly powerful mysterious figure. No wonder he dared to sneak into Shrek Academy and injure my students."
Dai Mubai was still lying weakly on Tang San's bed. He had already eaten several of Oscar's big sausages, and the wound on his chest had basically healed. The blood on his face was gone as well. Only the internal injuries caused by the Rasengan had yet to recover.
But Dai Mubai was basically fine now. It had to be said that Oscar's sausages truly were effective. They could quickly heal wounds and enhance the body's recovery ability. His little sausages could even remove abnormal conditions within the body.
In this Douluo world, the abilities possessed by Food System Soul Masters and Support System Soul Masters truly were miraculous. There was no need for any medical skill; these Soul Masters specialized in healing and recovery.
Oscar had not suffered any serious injuries, but his face had been stepped on until it was somewhat misshapen. His nose in particular looked as if one side had collapsed, making him even uglier than before.
Oscar looked at himself in the mirror, filled with resentment and sadness. His teeth clenched tightly together.
Tang San took one look and hurriedly said, "Don't be too upset, Oscar. This is only temporary. I'll definitely help you recover."
"I hope so." Oscar put down the mirror and regained his composure. He said softly, "I just want to know who that person was. I feel like his build looked a little like Luo Chen's."
That was right. Although Luo Chen had disguised himself to look like Tang Hao when he beat Dai Mubai, he had not thought that far ahead when he beat Oscar. Though he had not used his own appearance either, Oscar had still noticed something.
Flander said gravely, "Although Luo Chen's reaction last time showed that he was also very protective of Ning Rongrong, that mysterious person was clearly not him. I already went to see him just now. He seemed completely unaware of this matter, and he should have stayed in his dormitory the entire time. Besides, he couldn't possibly possess that kind of ability. To withstand Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation through hand-to-hand combat alone without using a Martial Soul—even a Soul Ancestor above level forty couldn't do that."
"That's right. I'm certain that person's Soul Power level was at least that of a Soul King." Dai Mubai coughed, speaking weakly. "His speed and strength in close combat were both extremely powerful. Only after using White Tiger Vajra Transformation could I barely fight him to a draw. He could even release and condense Soul Power without using a Martial Soul, slicing apart my White Tiger Light Wave. His final move condensed Soul Power into an incredibly powerful swirling sphere. If I hadn't been strengthened by White Tiger Vajra Transformation, I might not have been able to endure that attack."
Flander fell into thought. Releasing Soul Power, condensing it into an incredibly powerful spiral, slicing apart the White Tiger Light Wave, and injuring Dai Mubai this badly without using a Martial Soul—this was not something a Soul King could do. At the very least, it had to be a Soul Emperor.
But whether it was a Soul Emperor or a Soul Saint, neither should have had the nerve to enter Shrek Academy alone and injure students. That was a serious crime.
Combined with Dai Mubai's description, and the fact that Clear Sky Crown had come just the day before yesterday and viciously beaten Zhao Wuji, could it really have been Clear Sky Crown?
Flander hurriedly raised his head and asked Dai Mubai again, "Are you certain that person wore a black robe? Was his voice somewhat hoarse and sharp? Did he call himself the Clear Sky Douluo?"
Dai Mubai coughed, his voice trembling slightly. "That's right. He really did call himself the Clear Sky Douluo. He said he was Tang San's father. He claimed he couldn't stand seeing me bully Ning Rongrong at the school gate and demanded that I apologize to her. That person was truly terrifying. But no matter who he is, I, Dai Mubai, will never swallow this humiliation. In this life, I will definitely find him and take revenge for today's disgrace..."
As he spoke, Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, and his body could not help trembling.
Tang San hurriedly looked seriously at Flander. "Even if he really is the Clear Sky Douluo, he can't be my father. Why would he impersonate my father?"
Tang San still did not know that his father was the Clear Sky Douluo, and Flander had no intention of telling him now.
Flander's expression was somewhat grave. By now, he had basically concluded that the man was the Clear Sky Douluo. Other than the Clear Sky Douluo, he truly could not think of anyone else who would dare infiltrate Shrek Academy at such a time and leave without a sound.
Furthermore, the Clear Sky Douluo had just come a few nights ago and beaten Zhao Wuji.
"Why would Clear Sky Crown strike the children so heavily? Although Dai Mubai was indeed at fault..." Flander sighed and looked at Dai Mubai and Oscar. "All right, don't overthink it. Rest here with Tang San tonight. Tomorrow, I'll ask Ning Rongrong herself again, and we'll talk after that."
Just as Flander was about to leave, he added calmly, "Dai Mubai, you truly were at fault in this matter. If that person really was him, then give up any thoughts of revenge for the rest of your life. Also, no matter which of you sees Ning Rongrong tomorrow, none of you are allowed to say anything hurtful to her again. This matter has nothing to do with her. I am in contact with Ning Rongrong's family. There is absolutely no way the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sent someone to injure you."
Dai Mubai said nothing. Oscar lowered his head and answered, "I understand, Dean. Don't worry. I was at fault too. I truly shouldn't have abandoned Ning Rongrong back then. Perhaps, just as that person said, I'm nothing more than a coward."
Flander said nothing more and left Tang San's dormitory.
The next morning, when Luo Chen arrived at the main training ground, he saw that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were already there.
No one else had arrived yet. Luo Chen hurried over to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, looking at them in confusion.
Seeing that there was no one nearby, Xiao Wu immediately leaned close to Luo Chen, secretly grabbed his hand, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's fine. I told the dean everything just like you said. Early this morning, he called Ning Rongrong and me to his office. Ning Rongrong didn't dare say much, so I said it all for her. It's okay. From the look of that silly dean, he seemed to believe it too."
"Well done. Xiao Wu, you really are smart." Luo Chen held Xiao Wu's soft little hand as well and praised her. In truth, Luo Chen was not worried anymore. He had not exposed any flaws, and since Tang Hao had come only a few days ago, that person could only have been Tang Hao.
During his battle with Dai Mubai, Luo Chen had mostly used physical techniques, the Yi Jin Jing, and the Eight Gates Formation. He had defeated Dai Mubai through physical techniques alone without using a Martial Soul. That was simply not something a Great Soul Master could do, and not even a Soul Elder could manage it.
Moreover, Luo Chen had not used Lightning Release or Flying Thunder God Teleportation. Instead, he had used entirely new moves. There was no reason Flander would think that person had been him.
As Luo Chen was thinking, he suddenly saw through his Sharingan that Tang San, Oscar, and Dai Mubai were already walking toward the main training ground in the distance.
Luo Chen immediately released Xiao Wu's hand. Once Tang San, Oscar, and Dai Mubai came closer, he saw Oscar and Dai Mubai's miserable, dispirited expressions, along with Tang San's somewhat baffled look. Luo Chen could barely stop himself from laughing.
Luo Chen hurriedly pretended to be shocked. He stepped forward to stand before the three of them and looked at Dai Mubai and Oscar. "What happened? Oscar, Dai Mubai, why are both of you injured?"
Oscar raised his head to look at Luo Chen and stared seriously into his eyes. Only after seeing nothing unusual did he say calmly, "Something happened last night. You probably don't know about it. Forget it, there's no need to talk about it."
After saying that, Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong behind Luo Chen and lowered his head in shame.
"Tang San, what happened?" Luo Chen was close with Tang San, so he could only pretend to ask Tang San.
Tang San also looked utterly bewildered. He sighed and said, "Someone impersonated my father last night and beat Oscar and Dai Mubai one after another. I never expected something like this to happen at Shrek Academy. I was cultivating at the time, but Oscar and Dai Mubai came knocking at my dormitory one after the other. The way they looked then... Anyway, I'll definitely find the person who dared hurt my companions and impersonate my father..."
As he spoke, Tang San clenched his fists, and his eyes had already become somewhat furious.
