Ye Tianxing chose Xiao Wu as the target for his Eighth Soul Ring. This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who lived by Tang San's side could not be let go.
" Xiao Wu's true form is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. Killing Soft Bone Rabbit in front of her is more painful than killing her myself."
Ye Tianxing felt like he was the villain just now, while Tang San, the original protagonist of this world, seemed dim and insignificant.
Shrek Academy tent.
Chaos erupted inside the tent. Xiao Wu's right leg was covered in blood. With the help of the Jiangzhu, a faint green light spread along the scepter to Xiao Wu's right leg.
Xiao Wu's right leg injury is healing at a visible speed; the wound has stopped healing, but the pain in her heart remains unabated.
Xiao Wu's eyes were blurry, and her heart was in great pain. When she saw the Soft Bone Rabbit bones and the remaining rabbit meat on the table, Xiao Wu felt like she was going to vomit but couldn't. Her chest felt tight.
" Ye Ping'an did it on purpose!" Tang San said with certainty.
"That's right! That guy did it on purpose!" Dai Mubai chimed in, as he was just worried about not having a chance to deal with Ye Ping'an.
Now, because of the Soft Bone Rabbit issue, Xiao Wu and Ye Ping'an have a conflict, which has successfully dragged Tang San into the mess.
The elimination rounds will be decided by one-on-one Soul Fighting. Fortune will turn, and it will eventually be Ye Ping'an's turn.
"Brother, I..."
Tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes, and Tang San quickly wiped them away, saying, "Don't say anything more, I will seek justice for you."
After saying that, he hugged Xiao Wu tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with hatred and a faint murderous intent, looking through the tent at Ye Ping'an's location.
" Xiao Wu, you're a good child in every way, but sometimes you're too compassionate. Do you remember that time we went to Sunset Forest? You even asked why we killed Spirit Beast? That's completely irrelevant to us Spirit Master," Flender said helplessly.
As the dean of the Shrek Academy, when conflicts arise between his students and other students, he should stand up for himself and face the opposing side.
The cause of the matter is quite simple: the Soft Bone Rabbit.
Yes, Xiao Wu actually went to Ye Ping'an to seek attention for the sake of the insignificant Soft Bone Rabbit. Xiao Wu was the one who started the trouble.
Shrek Academy has a saying that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre, but Flender knows very well that Xiao Wu has messed with the wrong person this time, and she has made a big mistake.
" Flender, what exactly are you trying to say?!"
Faced with Liu Erlong's stern questioning, Flender shrugged, his eyes unreadable. After glancing at Xiao Wu, he remained silent.
"Her own Martial Soul is a rabbit, yet she forbids others from eating rabbits. Where does her compassion come from?"
"I think it's wishful thinking. With the development of the times, people like this will seek a sense of existence."
"Who says otherwise? Killing one or two Soft Bone Rabbit is considered indiscriminate slaughter, then I just ate the meat of three rabbits, wouldn't that be a heinous crime?"
A lively commotion arose inside the tent, with the main topic of discussion being Xiao Wu's situation.
This phenomenon is very common. Teams that make it to the knockout stage are not to be underestimated. They will use every possible method that is advantageous and does not cause fights between their students, in order to undermine the will of their opponents and thus win effortlessly.
"Damn it! Who's spreading these rumors?!"
Zhao Wuji lifted the tent flap and saw a group of people darting around in a nearby tent, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Zhao Wuji looked around, gave the scene a few sharp glances, and then entered the tent.
Zhao Wuji was shocked to find that Xiao Wu was lying in Tang San's arms, expressionless, with blank eyes and tears streaming down her face.
The night sky is filled with twinkling stars.
The lights between the tents gradually went out, and the sound of soldiers rubbing their armor as they patrolled filled the air. All the trainees who came to participate in the competition fell asleep.
In the darkness, the two figures stood out starkly.
Ma Hongjun produced a snake from somewhere, a wicked smile on his face, "I searched for this for a long time before I found it. It's enough to give Ye Ping'an a hard time."
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Dai Mubai transmitted his voice through his Soul Power, "We came out here secretly this time to teach Ye Ping'an a lesson. Who told him to bully Xiao Wu?"
Even without Ning Rongrong, the Shrek Seven Devils remain a cohesive unit, Dai Mubai, as the leader, must set a good example.
Therefore, he and Ma Hongjun hit it off and found a snake from the Royal Knights, planning to throw it into Ye Ping'an's tent late at night to add a bit of "liveliness" to the already quiet night.
Even after an investigation, they denied it, saying there weren't even one or two snakes in the wild!
Dai Mubai bent down, making intimate contact with the ground, and took the little green snake from Ma Hongjun's hand. The two brothers smiled at each other and then tossed it in.
After a moment of silence inside the tent, screams erupted, and suddenly all the candles in the entire camp were lit.
"Serves you right! Who told you to bully Xiao Wu!" Ma Hongjun said with a wicked smile.
Dai Mubai's smile faded slightly, but he sensed that something was amiss.
"Fatty! Did we get the wrong tent?"
Ma Hongjun waved his hand. "How could that be? This is Ye Ping'an's tent. I've even managed to sneak into a brothel in the dark before. What's a little distance?"
Dai Mubai was convinced and was about to retreat in obscurity when he suddenly felt a sharp pain. A foot had stepped on his back. Ma Hongjun cried out in pain, having experienced the same thing.
Accompanied by the sound of soldiers rubbing their armor, they surrounded the area with torches in hand.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are dead!
"Good evening, everyone!" Ma Hongjun smiled awkwardly.
" Ye Ping'an! You were already..." Dai Mubai finally realized that Ye Ping'an had stepped on him and Ma Hongjun, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"You guessed right, I should be sleeping in the tent, but unfortunately, I like to meditate in the void at night, and I can see everything you two do."
Ye Ping'an smiled and used the Sand Mandara External Spirit Bone to create an illusion, luring Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to bypass the tent where Seven Leaf Star was located and instead lead them to the vicinity of the Skywater Academy's tent.
"Who is it! How annoying!"
"A snake! Ahhh!"
"..."
The girl's scream nearly pierced everyone's eardrums, followed by disheveled and disheveled students from the Skywater Academy running over.
They were all pale, sweaty, and with tears welling in their eyes. They scanned their surroundings, searching for the culprit.
As expected, the girls came to Ye Ping'an's side, and after he gave a brief explanation, they finally understood what had happened.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were already terrified and at a loss for what to do, because the pretty girls in front of them had all turned into wild beasts that would devour anyone they saw.
They swarmed forward, exchanging blows and kicks. Amidst the cries of pain from Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, in no time, everyone had come to join in the fun.
Ye Tianxing smiled and looked at Flender, Tang San and his group who were coming from the sound.
When Tang San saw that the people being beaten were Dai Mubai and Fatty, his intuition told him that Ye Ping'an was behind it all.
Ye Tianxing, unable to bear it any longer, pointed at Tang San's nose and cursed, "Don't you dare try to pin all this on me! I'm the one who orchestrated everything, right? Did I also sleep with your mother and then give birth to you?!"
Tang San only had his father since childhood, and he longed for and yearned for his unfamiliar mother.
Hearing such a sentence from Ye Ping'an's mouth, he was immediately furious. His eyes flashed with killing intent, and a Dark Blue Silver Overlord Spear appeared in his hand. He walked towards Ye Ping'an with a cold expression.
In contrast, Ye Ping'an remained motionless, watching calmly with a smile, seemingly oblivious to Tang San's actions.
"When!"
The Royal Knights soldiers raised their lances, looked at Tang San sternly, and warned, "During the competition, students are not allowed to fight in private. Anyone found doing so will be disqualified from the competition!"
" Tang San! Calm down!" Flender quickly pulled Tang San away; at this critical moment, nothing more could go wrong.
Flender had already learned the whole story from the onlookers. While he was pleased with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's actions, he was also furious. Unfortunately, Ye Ping'an happened to be there, and he was still seething with anger.
"Apologize!" Tang San said coldly.
"During the day, Xiao Wu caused me trouble for no reason. At night, these two filthy guys even released a green snake to scare my students in order to get revenge on me. Fortunately, they got lost at night. If it had happened to my team members today, I would have instructed the organizing committee to disqualify Shrek Academy from the competition. I mean what I say."
Ye Tianxing has this ability.
Faced with Ye Tianxing's intimidation, everyone at the Shrek Academy was momentarily at a loss, while Tang San remained unconcerned and coldly said, "I want you to apologize!"
"I apologize to you, you idiot!"
After Ye Tianxing finished his taunts, he ignored Tang San's increasingly somber expression and continued, "Just now, you, who prides yourself on being pure and innocent, even slandered me. I scolded you a couple of times and you couldn't help but get angry. Why are you so sensitive? As a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, you have truly inherited your teacher perfectly."
"Keep it up, and I think the next Yu Xiaogang will be you."
These words immediately caused a huge uproar among the crowd.
Yu Xiaogang's infamy is well-known, and his deeds have been written into history textbooks.
"What?! He's actually Yu Xiaogang's disciple!"
"I never expected Yu Xiaogang to have disciples?"
"Do you think he might end up like his teacher, committing all sorts of evil deeds and being cursed by the world for eternity, just like Yu Xiaogang?"
"I think it's very likely."
"..."
For a time, the students were abuzz with discussion. Thanks to Yu Xiaogang's bad reputation, Tang San, as her disciple, was well protected by the Shrek Academy, and only a very few people knew about the relationship between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
When Ye Ping'an made this public, it was like a spark falling into a powder keg, causing a huge uproar and shocking everyone.
