Tang Hao was fighting on the other side while speaking:

"Keeping your head hidden and your tail tucked, huh! Bullying children, huh! A Spirit Sage using his Sixth Spirit Skill against a Soul Elder, huh! And you still call yourself—huh!"

The more Tang Hao fought, the more excited he became. It was as though all the frustration he had accumulated over the years was being vented onto Zhao Wuji. When Zhao Wuji saw Tang Hao's bloodshot eyes, he realized things were getting bad. He also understood why Tang Hao had targeted him and hurriedly explained:

"Stop hitting me! I wasn't seriously testing their speed. I only used the minimum amount of Soul Power. I wanted to recruit students for the academy too. How could I possibly cripple them?"

Seeing that Tang Hao would not listen, Flender could not bear to watch and shouted directly:

"Your Excellency, why don't we stop here? Among those children, there was one who played dirty and has already castrated half of Zhao Wuji! He's suffered enough!"

When Zhao Wuji heard Flender's words, he immediately glared furiously at him.

"Didn't you swear you'd take it to your grave and never tell anyone?! Flender!"

Flender looked at the roaring Zhao Wuji. Of course, he knew what his friend was thinking. This was an enormous humiliation. Aside from the doctor, only the two of them knew about it. Now that Flender had told someone else, did Zhao Wuji have any dignity left?!

When Tang Hao heard Flender's words and saw the fury on Zhao Wuji's face, his eyes unconsciously drifted downward. Realizing what his son had done, he awkwardly scratched his disheveled hair, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was as though his entire family consisted of no good people. His son had crippled someone else, and then, without knowing the circumstances, he had directly beaten that person up!

Unable to endure Tang Hao's strange gaze any longer, Zhao Wuji roared:

"Your Excellency, why don't you just kill me?! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was on the verge of collapse, Flender and Tang Hao put away their expressions. That pity would only constitute a second injury to Zhao Wuji. The damage to his spirit hurt even more than the damage to his body!

Looking at Zhao Wuji, who was covered in bandages, with a face swollen like a pig's head and a little blood still flowing from his mouth, Tang Hao could not bring himself to keep hitting him. The battle had lasted barely a minute before ending in Tang Hao's one-sided beating, nowhere near the time it took to burn a stick of incense!

Tang Hao could not put on any airs, since his side was clearly in the wrong. Moreover, Zhao Wuji would be his son's teacher in the future. He stepped forward, helped Zhao Wuji, who was sprawled on the ground with vacant eyes, to his feet, and gently patted the dust from his body, carefully avoiding hurting him.

After helping Zhao Wuji up, Tang Hao moved his lips and whispered a few words into his ear to express his apology. Zhao Wuji came back to himself and understood some of the guidance Tang Hao, a Power-type Spirit Master standing at the pinnacle of the continent, had given him.

While Zhao Wuji was still pondering it, Tang Hao gave a few more instructions to Zhao Wuji and Flender, paying no mind to whether Zhao Wuji could even hear them.

"Consider what I just said compensation for you. It may not be enough, but Tang San is my son. I'll have to trouble you to look after him in the future. I'll also come by often to check on him!"

Clearly, Tang Hao was no fool. His words at first had been full of apology, but the words afterward were a threat!

Flender and Zhao Wuji had both lived for many years and were shrewd enough to understand Tang Hao's meaning. However, the situation was stronger than the people involved. Zhao Wuji could only swallow his bitterness, suffering in silence.

After speaking, Tang Hao gazed toward Shrek Academy for a while, a trace of tenderness appearing in his eyes. He did not linger, since the situation was more than a little awkward. His figure flashed, and within a few breaths, he had already disappeared!

Zhao Wuji continued standing there foolishly without moving. Flender understood that his friend had probably been left with a psychological shadow. The strong parent had come after the weak child, and both the parent and child were more ruthless than the other.

Before long, the two men also recalled their Martial Souls. Flender sighed:

"Old Zhao, you really don't have to take it so hard. Fortunately, His Excellency Haotian had no intention of killing us. Otherwise, the two of us might have died here!"

Zhao Wuji did not respond. He remained silent, limping as he held onto the surrounding trees and made his way back to his room. Flender wanted to go help him, but Zhao Wuji refused.

Late at night, the teachers of Shrek Academy were drawn over by Zhao Wuji's cries. However, they only saw Flender standing there in a daze and did not see Zhao Wuji anywhere.

The next morning.

Yun Qi and the Two Girls also woke early to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye. However, while cultivating the Purple Demon Eye that day, Yun Qi suddenly had a thought. Since Broadcast Gymnastics could continuously strengthen his Physical Body, what about Eye Protection Exercises?

Yun Qi seemed to have discovered a new continent. He acted as soon as the idea occurred to him. He circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, wrapped his hands in Soul Power, and slowly massaged and pressed his eyes! After completing the entire process, Yun Qi really found that it had some effect. It could accelerate the progress of the Purple Demon Eye.

After telling Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing about this discovery, they practiced it as well. However, they did not maintain it for long. After dawn passed, the practice was not particularly effective, though they secretly kept the method in mind. Zhu Zhuqing also couldn't help but sigh. A Genius really was a Genius! With a special method, even a casual idea could become a Spirit Skill that enhanced one's eyesight!

After finishing their morning cultivation, Yun Qi and the others left their rooms. As they walked, they chatted with the Two Girls about what had happened the previous day. Zhao Wuji's defense had been astonishing. Zhu Zhuqing said that the Spirit Skill she took pride in had actually been unable to inflict even the slightest damage on Zhao Wuji!

Yun Qi smiled and said that it was fortunate Zhao Wuji's speed was not too absurd. Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing would not even have been able to run away!

However, those words also reminded Yun Qi of himself. At present, Yun Qi lacked anything that could truly save his life. His methods were still too few. If he really encountered an enemy like Zhao Wuji who launched a direct surprise attack on him, Yun Qi thought about it and realized that he might not be able to escape, much less protect the people beside him!

Yun Qi did think of a solution: take the Ironclad Sword Dragon's corpse out and have Tang San forge it, then secretly take the finished product away. As for why Yun Qi did not do it himself, perhaps he was just lazy? When he had obtained Tang San's concealed-weapon manufacturing method, Yun Qi had not been very happy. He had only been thinking about waiting until he established himself on the continent before spreading it around, so everyone could have a copy!

He would play a major trick on Tang San. Of course, this was only an idea for now. The urgent matter was figuring out how to reasonably deliver the Ironclad Sword Dragon to Tang San, then use the mission to get the finished product back!

Yun Qi and the others walked around for a while and discovered that Shrek Academy truly had no money. The entire academy consisted of simple wooden houses rented from the village, and its area covered only one-third of the village!

Fortunately, it was not far from Suotuo City, so buying things was fairly convenient. With Yun Qi's Sword Control speed, he could quickly make a round trip!

The three of them were also getting a little hungry. After all, they had not eaten much since yesterday afternoon!

Yun Qi took out some dried meat from his ring and handed it to the Two Girls. He was just thinking about where to find something to eat.
