As Dai Mubai activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Tang San's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Xiao Wu and swiftly retreated.

From the aura Ye Feng released, Tang San sensed a lethal threat.

This feeling was even stronger than the one he had felt from the headmaster of Nuoding Academy.

One had to know that Nuoding Academy's headmaster was a Level 42 tool-type Soul Ancestor.

Yet Ye Feng felt even more powerful than the headmaster. Didn't that mean Ye Feng was at least a Soul Ancestor?

Judging by Ye Feng's age, he was no older than Tang San. For a moment, Tang San stared at Ye Feng in utter shock.

He understood that he had encountered one of those legendary peerless geniuses.

In every era, there would be one or several figures like unmatched prodigies. Once such people matured, every one of them would dominate their entire age.

In his eyes, Ye Feng was precisely such a prodigy.

Only those peerless prodigies of legend could possess such strength.

"How is this possible? Why are you so strong?" Dai Mubai, standing directly opposite Ye Feng, was losing his mind.

Compared to Tang San, Dai Mubai had seen far more.

After all, every one of Shrek Academy's teachers was stronger than Ye Feng was now.

But because of that, Dai Mubai had an even clearer understanding of Ye Feng's strength.

To his horror, he realized that only Spirit Masters above Soul King level could emit such a powerful aura.

That meant this person, who was about the same age as Tang San, had to be at least Level 50.

"Stop wasting time. Make your move!" Ye Feng's gaze was calm. With Dai Mubai's strength, he was not even qualified to make Ye Feng take him seriously.

Ye Feng's words left Dai Mubai utterly embarrassed, while also filling him with resentment—not toward Ye Feng, but toward himself.

He was so much older than Ye Feng, yet he knew that he was completely no match for him.

Even if he forced himself to attack, he would only be asking for trouble.

"I... I'm no match for you. Kill me or torture me as you please. I admit defeat in today's matter." Thinking of the older brother in his family who put him under enormous pressure, Dai Mubai instantly sank into dejection.

What had happened today dealt him a tremendous blow, to the point that he began to question his life.

First, he had encountered Tang San and Xiao Wu, two outstanding geniuses close to Level 30. Now, he had met the even more gifted Ye Feng.

He began to suspect that he was nothing but a useless piece of trash. No wonder he had been forced away from his family and did not even have the courage to return home.

"Sigh, since you know what's good for you, I won't hold it against you today. Who knows? In a few days, you might even become classmates with my little sister. All right, you can go!" Dai Mubai's state made Ye Feng lose all interest in fighting. He waved a hand and took Ning Rongrong's hand, preparing to leave.

"Hey, wait a moment. Are you going to join Shrek Academy too?" Xiao Wu's clear voice called out from behind them.

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. She turned back to look at Xiao Wu. "That's right. I heard Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. I want to see what gives them the right to boast like that."

She had heard Xiao Wu's conversation with Dai Mubai earlier and knew that Xiao Wu and Tang San were also heading to Shrek Academy to enroll. Together with the fact that they had spoken up for them just now, Ning Rongrong had developed quite a favorable impression of them.

"That's great! We're going to Shrek Academy too. We can go together!" Xiao Wu was very interested in Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong, and warmly invited them.

"Oh, right, my name is Xiao Wu—the Wu from dancing. His name is Tang San—the San from Little San." Xiao Wu pulled Tang San over as she introduced them.

"Pfft—hahaha, the San from Little San?" Ye Feng could not hold it in and nearly let out a pig-like snort of laughter.

"This brother, is there something wrong with my name?" Tang San looked at Ye Feng in confusion, unable to understand why he found it so funny.

"It's nothing, nothing. It's not your problem. I just suddenly thought of something funny. Sorry about that!" Ye Feng held back his laughter. Naturally, he could not reveal why he was laughing.

To avoid further questions, Ye Feng hurriedly changed the subject and introduced himself as well. "My name is Ye Feng, and this is my little sister, Ning Rongrong."

"You're siblings? Then why don't you share the same surname?" Xiao Wu was straightforward. Before Tang San could stop her, she had already asked the question.

"Brother Feng is Dad's disciple, so we call each other brother and sister," Ning Rongrong said proudly.

"Oh..." Xiao Wu's eyes moved back and forth between Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong before she put on an understanding expression.

"Then what about you two? Are you a couple?" Xiao Wu's suggestive expression made Ning Rongrong's ears quietly redden, but she refused to be outdone. Her eyes glinted mischievously as she looked at Xiao Wu and Tang San, asking a question that made both of them blush.

"What are you talking about? Little San and I are just brother and sister of the opposite sex, not a couple!" Xiao Wu's cheeks had turned as red as apples, yet she stubbornly defended herself.

Even Tang San's face reddened at Ning Rongrong's blunt question.

"Oh... so you're brother and sister of the opposite sex. I understand." Ning Rongrong nodded knowingly, emphasizing the words "opposite sex."

"Enough, Rongrong. Stop teasing them. Can't you see their faces are red? Come on, let's find somewhere to settle down first. We can talk later."

Ye Feng lightly smacked Ning Rongrong on the head. If she kept going, Xiao Wu and Tang San would be too embarrassed to show their faces.

"Um, Manager, do you still have any rooms available?" Ning Rongrong's eyes darted about before she turned to ask the manager, who was hiding behind the counter.

"Rongrong, didn't we say we weren't staying at this hotel?" Ye Feng hesitated. This was a couples' hotel. Staying here with Rongrong somehow felt a little inappropriate.

The key was that although, on the surface, the two of them had run away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Only Ye Feng knew that Ning Fengzhi had kept track of their whereabouts the entire time. Several disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were following them from hidden positions!

If Ning Fengzhi found out that he and his precious daughter had checked into a couples' hotel together, he might very well skin Ye Feng alive.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we're staying in the same room. It's just a name. Let's stay here!" Ning Rongrong clung to Ye Feng's arm and looked at him pitifully.

Ning Rongrong was rather interested in this hotel. She wanted to see how this kind of couples' hotel differed from an ordinary hotel.

"This... doesn't seem like a good idea!"

Ning Rongrong didn't care about that at all. Before Ye Feng could agree, she had already dragged him to the hotel counter.

"Hey, do you have any rooms left or not? Get me two of the most expensive ones. This young lady has plenty of money."

The moment he heard the word "money," the manager's eyes lit up. He put on an act, flipping through some papers on the counter for a while before looking up and saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, honored guests, but we only have one room left. However, please rest assured, our rooms are very spacious. There's more than enough room for two people."

"If there aren't any, then forget it." Ye Feng tugged at Ning Rongrong, preparing to take her away.

"Didn't you say there's still one room? We'll take it. We shared a room when we were little too, didn't we? I want to see what's different about a couples' hotel from an ordinary hotel!" Seeing the display pictures of the rooms behind the counter, Ning Rongrong became even less willing to leave.
