Zhao Wuji, the One Left

Just as Flender was about to speak, the teachers also heard the cries of agony coming from the pit. They prepared for battle, summoned their Martial Souls, and cautiously went forward to investigate!

"Oh, wow!"

They would never have imagined it without looking, but the sight left everyone horrified. What the hell was this?

Flender also stepped forward and explained:

"This is Zhao Wuji. As for why he was beaten into this state..."

Flender awkwardly pointed at Yun Qi.

"Dean, are you saying...?"

"Old Zhao was beaten like this by that kid?"

Flender nodded helplessly!

The teachers who had never met Yun Qi before were filled with astonishment and suspicion!

Flender naturally knew what they were thinking, but this was not something that could be explained in a few words. He merely told everyone to quickly carry Zhao Wuji out and treat him!

Only then did the teachers react.

Watching everyone bustle about, Flender forced out a smile and said to the conscious Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong on the field:

"Welcome to Shrek Academy!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing did not reply and Ning Rongrong did not immediately express her stance either, Flender understood. She had come to Shrek Academy to have fun, but now she had been completely captivated by Yun Qi, a man shrouded in mystery at every turn. Thus, she did not answer Flender.

After resting for a while, Zhu Zhuqing slightly bowed to Flender and said:

"Dean, could I wait until Yun Qi and the others wake up before giving you an answer?"

Flender had clearly anticipated this answer. He was somewhat unhappy, but did not show it, merely nodding indifferently.

"Then rest here until they wake up! Teacher Zhao held back. They aren't seriously injured; they merely lost consciousness from the impact. They should wake up soon!"

When Zhu Zhuqing took Yun Qi and Xiao Wu, she had used her Soul Power to check on them. The main problem was that the two of them had exhausted their Soul Power, and the external impact had caused them to faint. They had still suffered some injuries, however, and needed time to recuperate!

Thus, Zhu Zhuqing nodded and asked Ning Rongrong to help support Xiao Wu as they went to rest in an unoccupied house in the village.

Watching the four people leave, Flender turned toward Tang San, who was lying nearby. His expression grew increasingly strange, and he could not help complaining inwardly.

He looks like such an honest young man. How does he keep using such despicable tricks?

Flender could not help recalling his old friend, as well as the legend that had swept across the continent over the past few years. Looking at Tang San before him, a trace of pity appeared in his eyes. This kid might have developed some kind of psychological shadow when obtaining his First Spirit Ring. Otherwise, he probably would not have targeted his fellow brothers so relentlessly!

After settling Tang San down, Flender left.

On the other side, Oscar had just arrived. After asking the people who knew what had happened, he finally learned what had caused the huge pit and Zhao Wuji's miserable screams.

Cold Sweat unconsciously trickled down his body. Fortunately, the sense of familiarity he felt from that Junior disciple had kept him from acting rashly. If he had acted rashly against that Junior disciple, he might have been beaten horribly by now!

As for Zhao Wuji, after treating him, several teachers felt helpless. The external wounds could basically all be treated, but when they saw the sword energy and lumps inside Zhao Wuji's flesh, they truly had no idea how to remove them or dispel the sword energy. They found the situation extremely troublesome!

The matter soon alarmed Flender. Seeing how much pain Old Zhao was in, Flender picked up Zhao Wuji and flew toward the city. Since Tang San was still unconscious, Flender did not know that Tang San might be able to remove them. After all, no one would have imagined that Tang San could suck out the objects trapped inside those curled-up lumps of flesh.

After arriving in Suotuo City, Flender contacted a healing Spirit Master. That Spirit Master quickly removed the sword energy, but after probing Zhao Wuji's body with Soul Power, the doctor's brow creased unnaturally!

Zhao Wuji endured the pain and asked in a trembling voice:

"Doctor, hurry... help me... get those... things out!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji in unbearable agony, the Doctor could not help asking:

"Who did you offend? How vicious. I don't know what these things are, and I can't remove them intact!"

Zhao Wuji and Flender both grew anxious.

"Can't... they be treated?"

The Doctor sighed and said:

"They can, but these things are spread throughout the vital points of your body. To remove them, I can only cut into the flesh! I'll use a Spirit Skill to stop the bleeding immediately after each one is dug out, but I can't do anything about the flesh you'll lose!"

Before Zhao Wuji could speak, the Doctor continued:

"And you need to decide quickly. These tiny needles are constantly curling up. If you wait any longer... they may become completely useless!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly asked:

"Is there... anyone else in the city... who can treat me?"

Under Zhao Wuji's expectant gaze, the Doctor shook his head. Zhao Wuji then gnashed his teeth and roared!

"That little bastard! Why didn't I just beat him to death earlier?!"

Flender hurriedly comforted Zhao Wuji when he heard this. If Zhao Wuji had beaten him to death, Flender would have had a hard time explaining himself!

"Old Zhao, calm down! Ask the Doctor if there's any other way first!"

The Doctor also knew that those things were extremely important to men. They could live without them, but they could not bear to lose them!

Under the expectant gazes of the two men, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"There is another way, but it will cause considerable harm to my body. You'll have to pay extra!"

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gestured toward Flender.

Flender took out a small cloth bag from his Soul Tool with trembling hands and placed it in the Doctor's hand. The Doctor merely shook his head. Flender then tremblingly took out a slightly larger cloth bag. After the Doctor shook his head several more times, Flender took out six bags in total before collapsing onto the ground, his eyes vacant and his face as lifeless as a corpse!

After receiving the money, the Doctor said to Zhao Wuji:

"Digging out the flesh is unavoidable, but I can use a Spirit Skill to transfer some of the pain."

Seeing Flender's expression, as though he had lost all hope in life, and the Doctor, who claimed he could only preserve half of it, several lines of clear tears flowed from Zhao Wuji's murky eyes! He swore that he had never felt so wronged in his life!

Even when facing an assault by sixteen Spirit Emperors from the Spirit Hall, he had still escaped alive. But this time, seeing the gleaming knife in the Doctor's hand, Zhao Wuji silently closed his eyes!

Seeing that Zhao Wuji seemed to have prepared himself, the Doctor released his Martial Soul. Under the effects of his Spirit Skill, Zhao Wuji quickly lost consciousness and could no longer move. He only vaguely sensed the Doctor constantly gesturing with the knife over his body.

Flender hurriedly helped the Doctor once he saw this, wiping away sweat and passing him the knife. He was deeply afraid that one careless mistake would make him blame himself for the rest of his life!

While Flender's heart pounded with fear, Zhao Wuji quickly fell asleep under the influence of the Doctor's Spirit Skill after lowering his Soul Power defense!

Only when Zhao Wuji woke from his groggy state did he realize that his body weight had dropped considerably. Fortunately, the rest of his vital points had strong defenses. The Doctor had only cut away large amounts of flesh from the surface, so the damage was not significant. With the physique of a Spirit Sage, he would recover quickly. But in an instant, he seemed to sense something.

Zhao Wuji, a man in his fifties, could no longer hold back his tears and began to sob! He cried and wailed at the same time.

Standing outside, Flender rubbed his forehead and sighed.
