However, Dai Mubai did not head toward the dormitories. Instead, he walked toward the Great Soul Arena.
After all the trouble today, he felt utterly furious. Right now, he only wanted to vent his anger at the Great Soul Arena.
At this point, he somewhat believed what Flender and Tang San had said.
Of course, more importantly, he trusted the character of the other three teachers at the academy, apart from Flender and Zhao Wuji.
But believing it was one thing.
That damned Flender still would not return his card!
Now that his body had mostly recovered, if he got that money back, he could immediately resume his former carefree life.
But now...
In the end, Dai Mubai's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée. Surely no one would object if he did a few things, right?
Yet the moment he thought of Zhu Zhuqing, the anger in his heart intensified. She had clearly come all the way to Suotuo City to find him, yet she still put on such an aloof act.
Where was she?
But now...
In short, I still suspect Mu Zhe is a Titled Douluo. At the very least, he is a guard who hates showing off.
Bao Liuli kept reminding herself that perhaps this brat merely possessed some strange Soul Skill and was putting on an act in front of her.
"Da Wu, let's go over together."
Brothers, this brat is strange! There is something strange about him!!
Though Bao Liuli was puzzled, anger rose in her heart without her realizing it. Mu Zhe's arrogance had truly irritated her.
Bao Liuli immediately composed herself, gathering Soul Power in her wings. Suddenly, another Spirit Ring flashed.
Bang!
Mu Zhe's eyes narrowed as he looked at Bao Liuli. His senses were extraordinarily sharp, so he naturally detected the hostility in Ran Xinghe's gaze.
Bao Liuli was utterly horrified. The Clear Sky Douluo was useless, but she was still very confident in herself.
Yet just now, she had merely fantasized while throwing a punch, and Mu Zhe had actually escaped.
In the early stages, he had crazily devoured soul beasts, leaving his Soul Power abnormally rich and dense.
Without realizing it, Tang San's misunderstanding of Da Wu's true identity grew deeper and deeper.
"Besides, I need to cultivate too. You would not want me to lack the strength to protect you in the future, would you?"
Even if Mu Zhe had some secret method to preserve his youth, with Xiang Muzhe's proud temperament, she could not possibly be close to an old man.
I am afraid I will not be able to hold back then, and you will die on the spot!
But there was no helping it. Mu Zhe had the face of a young man, and no one would truly use their full strength against him. What if they accidentally killed him?
Holding an old man's hand—what kind of situation would that be?
Mu Zhe turned to Ran Xinghe and gently stroked the young girl's hair. "Rongrong, go with them too."
Confusion appeared on Mu Zhe's face.
Mu Zhe spoke calmly, though confusion appeared on his face again. "By the way, Headmaster Bao Liuli, are you trying to fight me?"
"Fine! Since you are so confident, I will not hold back either. It just so happens that I have not disciplined a student in a long time. Though you are not a student of my academy, the effect should be about the same!"
He had not written his Martial Soul's name for dozens of chapters. It did not seem very important anyway.
Bao Liuli's expression froze. Arrogant—truly arrogant!
In any case, Mu Zhe looked so young. His strength definitely could not exceed her expectations.
Had he been sent flying by her?
An illusion! It had to be an illusion!
Clear Sky Douluo, what the hell are you so proud of? Copying your stance did not work at all!
Brat, did my earlier mistake make you think you had the strength to contend with me?
"When did you get over there?"
"Mm."
At this moment, Mu Zhe was tightly gripping her fist. An immense force traveled through it, and she could faintly hear the crackling sounds of bones breaking.
Even her keen-eyed Cat Owl Martial Soul, as a level eighty-four Soul Sage, could not see through him.
The fist in her hand accelerated as well.
Of course, she was not doing this to fight now. She simply wanted to teach this brat who had undermined her a lesson.
Since when could a teenager be this damn impressive?!
Ran Xinghe's eyes trembled. This time, she saw it clearly—Mu Zhe... had vanished!
Yet relying only on Void, that passive skill, along with just a tiny bit of Ice and Fire Ability, he could still crush Bao Liuli.
Then Bao Liuli's gaze fell upon Mu Zhe, sweeping over him again and again. Gradually, her eyes became vacant, and the smile on her face vanished.
Then she broke free from Mu Zhe's embrace and ran to Da Wu in a few steps, hooking her arm around Da Wu's again.
Hiss!
What puzzled him, however, was when Da Wu had become so close to Ran Xinghe.
After staring at Mu Zhe for two seconds, Bao Liuli decisively used Martial Soul Possession. Two glowing wings grew from her back, and Spirit Rings rose beneath her feet—two yellow, two purple, and three black!
Let me see just where your weakness is, brat.
The third Spirit Ring beneath her feet flashed, and a ray of light shot from her eyes. Mu Zhe felt no threat from it, so he ignored it.
"Brat, you are standing here instead of leaving. Do you want me to personally invite you to leave?"
Then he looked at Tang San and the others. "Follow Mubai. He will explain tonight's lesson to you."
"Headmaster Bao Liuli, do you not know Xiang Muzhe's identity? And you still dare attack me?"
But suddenly, Bao Liuli's face turned puzzled. This punch seemed not to have hit anyone?
Bao Liuli, if you want to reason with me, I will reason with you. But if you want to fight, then please contact your attending physician first.
Flender glanced at Dai Mubai, who was walking ahead on his own, a trace of smugness in his eyes.
Da Wu's fearless personality was rather like hers.
"Headmaster Ran Xinghe, are you looking for me?"
Though Mu Zhe was strange, once she went all out, she had nothing to fear!
Bao Liuli had not used her full strength to begin with. Now that Mu Zhe had tightly clamped down on her fist, she could not break free, nor could she muster even a trace of strength.
Without Mu Zhe interfering then, would he not be able to manipulate Xiang Muzhe however he pleased?
He had previously heard two teachers say they could not see through Mu Zhe's strength. He had not believed it then, but now...
Everyone saw it. Ran Xinghe attacked first. He was merely acting in self-defense and had only accidentally hit a little too hard.
"You are right. I really am going to fight... you!"
"I forgot to mention this earlier. Our Ning Rongrong Academy does not welcome people from other academies. Even if you are Xiang Muzhe's guard, it is the same."
Why was he so confident? Was it because Ran Xinghe's letter could serve as an imperial token?
Then, just as she was about to stop her Soul Skill, her expression suddenly changed drastically. A huge force struck from behind. Mu Zhe had somehow arrived behind her and stomped down heavily.
Though the effects were impressive, in Mu Zhe's eyes, Bao Liuli had merely flashed her first Spirit Ring, greatly increased her speed, raised her wings before herself, and charged directly at him.
The next moment, she turned into an afterimage and vanished from where she stood. In less than the time it took to blink, she appeared before Mu Zhe.
What Mu Zhe did not know was that after Xiang Muzhe came to understand Da Wu's personality, she had become willing to get along peacefully with her.
Of course, Mu Zhe had been the one to let go first.
After seeing the scene before her clearly, she immediately revealed a shocked expression.
Mu Zhe found it somewhat strange. Da Wu and Xiang Muzhe had become so friendly overnight?
Bao Liuli snorted. Close protection? Then why did you not follow them?
Ever since watching the Clear Sky Douluo beat Shrek with his bare hands last night, she had developed the desire to fight barehanded as well.
Since that was the case, then it had to be... an illusion!
She still remembered that yesterday, Ran Xinghe had crazily stabbed Shrek with Dragon Whisker Needles because of Da Wu.
Suddenly, a teasing voice came from the darkness.
My hand! My hand hurts so much!
"I just walked over here."
What was that?
A dull impact rang out. Ran Xinghe's expression went completely blank, while a teasing smile appeared on Mu Zhe's face.
But have you considered how he leveled up?
"I am not a student of Ning Rongrong Academy, so naturally it would not be appropriate for me to watch your classes."
He had even been forced to expose that Golden Soul Card!
Perhaps they could not see through Mu Zhe merely because he wore some special Soul Tool.
Forget it, just fight!
It would be better to give him a warning tonight, tell him to meddle less in academy matters, and preferably drive him straight out of the academy.
Damn it!
Of course, he knew Bao Liuli had Zhao Wuji's letter, which could be used as an imperial token.
Headmaster, it really is not your illusion. I really am this awesome!
If Mu Zhe really were a Titled Douluo, would he still be wasting time talking to her? Would he disregard Zhao Wuji's orders and stop her from disciplining Xiang Muzhe?
Would that not ruin the good thing between her and Zhao Wuji?
"Mm? Mu Zhe-gege, are you not going?" A trace of disappointment flashed across Ran Xinghe's smiling face.
"Xiang Muzhe? Is she not the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Would I be afraid just because of her identity?"
Damn it!
"Forget it. Let's settle the score directly. You ruined my plans just now, so I cannot let you off easily. At the very least, I will make you lie in bed for two or three days."
Clear Sky Douluo... you are amazing...
What was going on?
No matter what, a Soul Sage could not be humiliated!
"Well... all right."
Otherwise, he would have to practice his hidden weapon techniques again.
After all, since when had Ning Rongrong Academy allowed these noble brats to do whatever they pleased?
But this Soul Skill worked even when used against a Soul Fighting Douluo.
No, as I said, our Ning Rongrong Academy only values personal strength!
This time, Mu Zhe did not evade. Instead, he slowly extended one hand and met Ran Xinghe's fist head-on.
He was still answering Mu Zhe, but before his words had even finished, he turned into an afterimage again and lunged at Dai Mubai.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bao Liuli's horrified face. She really had intended to fight him. She had not expected him to see through it.
Damn it!
The next moment, she became like a sharp blade cutting through the sky as she charged toward Ran Xinghe.
Forget it. Who cared whether he had a weakness or not?
When Ran Xinghe saw Ran Xinghe cling to Da Wu, a sense of unease flashed through his heart. But seeing that Mu Zhe had not followed, he relaxed slightly.
A playful smile rose on Bao Liuli's face. This was her third Soul Skill, Seek Kill Strong Point. It used the Cat Owl's special vision to discover weaknesses and strike them.
Mm, two or three days would be enough time for her to dig another pit for Xiang Muzhe.
Could it be that they had known each other since childhood?
Mu Zhe's gaze also turned cold and clear. Soul Power surged around him, while an invisible force of Spiritual Power locked onto Bao Liuli.
How had he never heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a Titled Douluo named Mu Zhe?
Though he did not understand what bad intentions Ran Xinghe had, he was not afraid in the slightest.
Xiang Muzhe nodded, a smile blooming across her face once more, with traces of sweetness hidden within.
Though Mu Zhe's Soul Power was only at the Soul King realm, two whole major realms below Ran Xinghe's.
In the entire continent, you are the most special one. Did the heavens approve that?!
Bao Liuli's eyes widened, and she was utterly horrified.
With Xiang Muzhe by her side, she would no longer need to stay so close to Tang San.
Bao Liuli's expression was blank, but terror rose in her heart.
Bao Liuli's eyes were cold, and her tone was full of mockery, but the atmosphere around them instantly became heavy.
Luckily, Tang San could testify for him. Otherwise, relying only on his own words would make him seem unconvincing, and he might not be able to keep that Golden Soul Card.
As long as it was not that bastard Mu Zhe, anyone could get close to Da Wu. Ahem, provided they were girls.
You even dare steal my lines!
What Titled Douluo? My ass!
Or was copying the Clear Sky Douluo's stance really that powerful?
Martial Soul?
Catching a Soul Sage's fist with one hand? Did you think you had an invincible cheat system?
After breaking free from Mu Zhe, Bao Liuli instantly steadied herself. With seven Spirit Rings, she was a true powerhouse.
Only after everyone had left did the night become quiet again.
Mu Zhe was not as polite as Bao Liuli. His figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared from where he stood.
It was not that Mu Zhe truly had no weaknesses. Rather, in Bao Liuli's eyes, mist seemed to surround Mu Zhe's entire body, concealing all his Soul Power and making him impossible to see clearly.
Mu Zhe-gege never forgot to cultivate so that he could protect me. That really makes me feel safe.
Ahem, Mu Zhe naturally knew that all his abilities came from his Martial Soul, but who told it to have such an embarrassing name?
Da Wu nodded, and a smile appeared on her pretty face as well.
Just tell me, Headmaster—how could you compare yourself to someone with cheats?!
Bao Liuli stared at the young man before her, her brows tightly furrowed.
Afterward came the Ice Fire Refining Golden Body, greatly raising his physical strength.
Heh, you still underestimated me!
Soul Power erupted around him, and a fierce aura poured forth as he instantly broke free of Mu Zhe's grasp.
Bao Liuli suddenly turned around and saw in shock that Mu Zhe was standing not far in front of him, completely unscathed.
As Ning Rongrong's guard, Mu Zhe had ruined his plans again and again. Now, even his attempt to crush Ning Rongrong's spirit had come to nothing. He would never find an opportunity as good as this again.
The smile on Bao Liuli's face grew wider. Soul Power surged around him, and his pupils became as sharp as an eagle's.
You won't hold back?
But why couldn't he feel it?
In the end, he had even directly devoured the origins of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Now, the density of his Soul Power was no weaker than a Soul Sage's, and it even carried traces of divinity.
"You brat, you've got some skill. No wonder you dared to throw your weight around at our academy. Summon your Martial Soul—we'll have a match!"
Standing this close, of course he wasn't worried that Mu Zhe would fail to hear him.
After all, it was perfectly normal for a nouveau riche like the Ran Xinghe Sect to bring out things ordinary people had never even heard of!
Bang!!
Oh, that actually seemed possible.
I... damn?
Truly infuriating!
"Let's just fight directly. But I won't hold back from here on out," Mu Zhe said, shaking his head faintly.
Mm, staying by Ran Xinghe's side was really irritating!
Bao Liuli and Tang San already knew about the shadow's ability, so it naturally could not be used openly.
Instead, he clenched his hand into a fist and threw a heavy punch. Its speed seemed neither fast nor slow, but any Soul Ancestor would have had absolutely no chance of dodging it.
Still, if he was putting on an act, he had to see it through.
Bao Liuli was instantly somewhat puzzled.
Yet Mu Zhe still shook his head faintly. "I'm Rongrong's guard, so naturally I have to protect her at close range."
Ran Xinghe was so furious that he laughed instead, his brows filled with menace.
Could Mu Zhe be a Titled Douluo?
In any case, he would never mention the name of his Martial Soul again.
