Fighting

After finding a small hotel, Zhao Wuji rented himself a room and went upstairs.

Bai Ying waved his hand and arranged a private room for everyone.

Seeing this, Oscar hurriedly flattered him. "Generous! A rich man, indeed. You're much richer than Boss Dai."

Ma Hongjun said, "Exactly. Why don't you treat us today?"

Bai Ying said directly, "Since we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Beast, we must eat and drink well today so we'll have enough energy."

Ma Hongjun said, "Since you've put it that way, we definitely won't help you save money."

Ma Hongjun immediately began ordering dishes, most of which were expensive.

Bai Ying was extremely generous and showed no intention of stopping.

"Big Brother Bai, how are you so rich?" Tang San asked cautiously.

"My grandfather is an extremely important elder of the Spirit Hall. In the entire Spirit Hall, he is a figure whose word is law. Even Pope Bibi Dong has to treat him with the utmost respect."

Tang San immediately understood. He remembered that when they had left Nuoding Academy, Grandmaster had once said that Bai Ying's identity was extremely complicated and that he must not become too close to him.

Dai Mubai wore an expression as if he were owed millions and said, "Hmph, what's so impressive about that? He's just an elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Dai Mubai, do you want me to beat you up again?"

Recalling how several of his ribs had been broken, Dai Mubai's body trembled with fear. He swallowed hard and immediately fell silent, though the veins on his hands gradually stood out, clearly showing that he was unconvinced.

He remembered that he was a prince of the Star Luo Empire. Although he was only the second prince, he was still a prince, and among his peers he was an outstanding figure. Across the entire Star Luo Empire, no one had ever dared speak to him like this, nor had anyone ever made him feel so aggrieved.

Everyone became lively at once. Some drank, others ate, and the whole scene was filled with cheer.

With a bang, someone kicked open the hotel door.

Several people walked in from outside, all of them looking disdainful and arrogant.

The leader was bald on top, and eight men and one woman followed behind him.

All of their clothes bore the words "Canghui."

"This girl is really quite pretty."

Ma Hongjun stared greedily at the only female Soul Master.

For Ma Hongjun, this was his favorite thing to do.

His Martial Soul was an Evil Fire Phoenix, and its evil fire was difficult to suppress. Only by doing this could he barely vent it.

Dai Mubai glanced over and said, "It's just a tiny Canghui Academy. What are they acting so arrogant for?"

Yet his eyes remained firmly fixed on the female Soul Master.

Dai Mubai was actually even more desperate than Ma Hongjun. He had gone to find Zhu Zhuqing several times before, but she had rejected him every time. Zhu Zhuqing had even warned him that if he dared pester her again, she would have Bai Ying teach him a lesson.

That experience of having his ribs broken had made Dai Mubai dare not harbor any thoughts about Zhu Zhuqing again. Of course, that was only for now. Dai Mubai believed that once his strength surpassed Bai Ying's, he would definitely take Zhu Zhuqing back.

At that moment, a hint of amusement appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes.

Ma Hongjun nudged Dai Mubai's shoulder and said, "What do you think? I told you this girl was pretty, didn't I?"

Bai Ying was speechless. If this had happened on Earth, these two would unquestionably be hooligans. The only reason no one had beaten them was that others were kindhearted.

These two were clearly looking for trouble, and the people from Canghui Academy had heard their conversation.

They immediately flew into a rage. They were openly harassing their student, completely disregarding Canghui Academy.

How could they tolerate that?

Ye Zhi Qiu whispered a few words into one student's ear. After listening, the student stood up and saw a server about to deliver dishes to Dai Mubai and the others.

He followed behind. Just as the server brought over the dishes, he suddenly shoved him.

As the plate in the server's hands was about to fall, Tang San immediately used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon from the Mysterious Heaven Skill and caught it securely.

"I'm terribly sorry."

The Canghui Academy student said this directly, then immediately caused more trouble.

He carefully kicked at Dai Mubai's chair.

Dai Mubai was completely enraged. As the saying went, when a tiger did not show its might, did they take it for a sick cat?

Dai Mubai kicked out directly. Under the impact of this second blow, the student was sent flying.

The conflict officially erupted. Ye Zhi Qiu immediately ordered the students to charge forward and fight Shrek.

"Hey, you two. You're really asking for trouble."

As Bai Ying spoke, he rose to his feet. His movement technique was extremely strange, not inferior to Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track in the slightest.

"Heaven and Earth Shift Form."

Pa, pa, pa! The sound of slapping rang out. Before several people could even reach the front, they were sent flying.

Ye Zhi Qiu had not even had time to react before he saw his people lying on the ground, bright red handprints left on their faces.

Bai Ying casually sat back down in his seat and began eating again, unhurriedly.

"Brother, I haven't exercised in ages. I want to fight too."

"What fight? Don't you know it's uncultured?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun had not seen what happened clearly. They only saw people being sent flying.

The students who had been knocked down immediately flew into a rage and were about to retaliate, but Bai Ying glared them back into silence.

An indescribable, terrifying aura spread from his body.

Three Spirit Rings slowly rose beneath his feet.

The instant these three Spirit Rings appeared, they not only frightened the people from Canghui Academy, but also shocked everyone else from Shrek.

Xiao Wu was the sole exception. Nearly all three of these Spirit Rings were black.

There was no need to explain what black Spirit Rings were. They were Ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings.

Three black Ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings—was this something a human could achieve? This was simply a monster among monsters.

Dai Mubai was utterly shocked. He had originally thought that his strength was only slightly inferior to his opponent's, but now it appeared that there was an enormous gulf between them.

They had been frightened away by a single glance?

"May I ask who you are? I'm Ye Zhi Qiu, a director of Canghui Academy."

"Get lost."

As he spoke, Bai Ying directly pulled out a token.

The instant Ye Zhi Qiu saw the token, his expression turned fawning.

"The Pope Token."

"So you're esteemed lords of the Spirit Hall. This little one was blind and offended you. I'm sorry."

"I told you to get lost. Didn't you hear me?"

Ye Zhi Qiu respectfully returned the Pope Token to Bai Ying, then led his people away in disgrace.

Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai knew best what the Pope Token meant.

It represented the highest authority of the Spirit Hall. Anyone who saw this token was as if they were seeing the Pope herself.
