Entrusted in Defeat, Commanded in Crisis

Ye Fan summoned a Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie...

A zombie reading a newspaper, with a long straight blade at its waist, appeared before Ye Fan.

The moment they saw this zombie,

everyone present was stunned.

"Fan Ge, did you summon the wrong zombie?"

"We're fighting right now. Why is he reading a newspaper?"

Xiao Wu could not help but remind him.

Especially that look in the Newspaper Zombie's eyes—it was like that of a very calm old man.

Leisurely, unhurried,

it did not look like it had even the slightest bit of combat power.

Ye Fan did not explain.

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie was all about contrast.

"This thing can block me too?"

Zhao Wuji chuckled and unleashed a series of Vajra Palms.

Ye Fan curiously glanced at the Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie's newspaper,

wanting to see what it was reading.

Unfortunately, before he could see the contents, Zhao Wuji's palm shattered it.

"Not dead?"

Zhao Wuji was somewhat puzzled.

The shattered newspaper could withstand any fatal damage. This was also a conceptual-level ability.

Ye Fan seemed to hear a weathered voice from the Newspaper Zombie.

"Entrusted in defeat,"

"commanded in crisis,"

"I'm going in!"

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie drew the long straight blade from its waist with its right hand.

Its entire aura changed in an instant.

Its eyes turned fierce, killing intent radiating from it.

Zhao Wuji was abruptly shocked. An expert!

Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie: I retired and spent a few years reading newspapers, and now anyone dares to act fierce? Have you gotten carried away, or can I no longer lift my blade?

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie gripped its blade and slashed.

Zhao Wuji rapidly retreated and narrowly dodged.

"What terrifying attack power!"

A streak of black light flashed, and a Flag Zombie appeared.

The Flag Zombie's ability was support.

Within the flag's range, it granted a fifty percent boost to attack speed and movement speed.

If the Flag Zombie died, the effect doubled and lasted thirty seconds.

The Flag Zombie's support effect took effect.

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie became even faster. Five steps became two.

With a light tap, it leaped in a single step.

It swung its blade down heavily at Zhao Wuji from midair.

"Is this really something a Soul Elder can do?"

Zhao Wuji's head was about to split in two.

His First Soul Ring flashed.

The Immovable Bright King Body activated once more, though this time he used far more Soul Power than before.

Inside the dean's office of Shrek Academy,

Flender, who had been sitting in his chair, stood up.

"Why is Old Zhao using such powerful Soul Power within the academy?"

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie slashed down.

With a bang, the Immovable Bright King Body was shattered.

Zhao Wuji was even more shocked. His Second Soul Ring flashed, and he struck out with a Vajra Palm.

This palm strike landed precisely during the Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie's opening.

Though its attack speed was fast, Zhao Wuji had launched his next attack at the very instant it attacked.

No matter how fast it was, it still fell just short.

"Very strong, but this ends here."

At that moment, the Flag Zombie, which had been standing in place providing support, moved.

It gripped the flag with both hands and glanced at Ye Fan.

Then it viciously drove the flag into its own chest.

It committed suicide.

The support effect provided by the flag instantly doubled.

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie's attack speed increased by another fifty percent.

And that slight increase in attack speed

was enough.

Blade and palm collided once more.

Bang!

A deep bloody gash appeared on Zhao Wuji's body.

The Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombie was also sent flying with a bang before finally vanishing.

A Soul Sage was still a Soul Sage, especially an Immovable Bright King with Soul Power as high as level seventy-six.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Wuji cursed. His Fourth Soul Ring flashed as he prepared to target Ye Fan,

using directional tracking to forcefully teach Ye Fan a lesson.

"Teacher Zhao, that incense stick has gone out."

Xiao Wu suddenly reminded him.

Zhao Wuji's Soul Skill immediately stopped.

He looked over, and sure enough.

"Hmph."

Zhao Wuji snorted.

"You got lucky."

"You all pass."

Then he shouted angrily,

"Oscar, get over here!"

A bearded figure hurriedly ran over.

"Teacher Zhao, you were looking for me?"

But instead of looking at Zhao Wuji first, he looked at the three girls present.

He swallowed, his eyes going straight.

He was one of Shrek Academy's famous three lechers.

"Three beauties!"

"Oscar!"

Zhao Wuji roared at Oscar.

"Give me a Recovery Sausage."

Oscar finally came back to his senses.

He looked at Zhao Wuji and froze.

"Who beat Teacher Zhao up like this?"

But his hands did not stop moving.

"I, your father, have a Big Sausage."

As he shouted the Soul Incantation, a Recovery Sausage appeared in his hand, which he quickly handed to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji snatched it without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oscar, give me another one."

A pained voice called out to Oscar again.

Oscar turned around and saw Dai Mubai lying on the ground, the flesh on his face twisted into a knot.

Quite a bit of blood was seeping from the root of his thigh.

"Damn, Dai Leader, what happened to you?!"

Oscar was startled and hurriedly summoned another Recovery Sausage, stuffing it into Dai Mubai's hand.

Dai Mubai had no time to explain.

"Get me to the hospital, or it won't be saved!"

A chill ran down Oscar's back. The new junior was this fierce?

Oscar helped Dai Mubai up, but his physical strength was clearly not that great.

"Um..."

He wanted to ask Ye Fan for help, but did not know what to call him.

"Junior, could you give us a hand?"

Ye Fan nodded. The two of them supported Dai Mubai and quickly headed out of Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji was not worried at this point. With a Recovery Sausage in him, nothing serious would happen.

He had originally wanted to quickly flee this troublesome place, but now he could only grit his teeth and arrange the new students' accommodations.

Soto City First People's Hospital.

Tang San lay quietly in a treatment room, receiving treatment.

After leaving Shrek Academy, he had come here immediately to treat his internal injuries.

"Get up. Your injuries have been treated."

The Healing Physician indicated that Tang San could put on his pants and get up.

"Settle the treatment fee. One hundred Gold Soul Coins."

Tang San was dumbfounded.

He had just been extorted at Shrek Academy, and now he was being extorted again after coming here.

He truly could not endure it anymore.

"What? It costs one hundred Gold Soul Coins just for treatment?"

"Isn't this robbery?"

The Healing Physician remained calm, as though he had expected this situation long ago.

"Registration fee, examination fee, cleaning fee, bed fee, treatment fee, specialist fee. With all these fees added together, one hundred Gold Soul Coins is already quite affordable."
