Liu Erlong

Tailong looked even more embarrassed, unsure what to do. This had originally only been a matter between him, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, but it had turned into this. Still, father and son went into battle together, so Tailong immediately stepped forward and said, "In that case, Dad, I'll help you too."

With that, Tailong revealed his martial soul and spirit rings. "Tailong, martial soul Great Ape, level 37 Assault Type Soul Elder. Xiao Wu, if I beat Tang San this time, you'll be my girlfriend!"

Taino nodded approvingly. "Well said, Tailong. Now that's an example worthy of our Strength Clan. If you want to pursue a girl, pursue her with your strength."

"Bullshit! Just watch me beat you to death today." Xiao Wu grew even angrier upon hearing that, feeling that the father and son were exactly alike.

"Oh, so now it's two against seven!" Zhao Zilong said, then pulled Meng Yiran aside to watch the show.

Not only Zhao Zilong and Meng Yiran, but the other students of Shrek Academy also gathered around.

Xiao Wu was not the only one whose fury soared. Tang San's anger had also reached its peak. As soon as the fight began, Tang San and Xiao Wu worked together seamlessly to give Tailong a brutal beating. Seeing his son getting beaten up, Taino also flew into a rage.

Level 58 Soul Power came crashing down. The Spirit Pressure created by the gap in strength made the Shrek students miserable. Fortunately, they had the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, and the Spirit Pressure was spread across several people, reducing the burden. With Oscar's sausages sustaining their fighting ability, after a long battle, the Shrek Seven Devils ultimately defeated Taino.

"Not bad. But this matter isn't over yet." After being defeated, Taino left behind that threat and departed with Tailong supporting him.

Watching Taino leave, the Shrek Seven Devils all breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting a Soul King-level expert, especially a level 58 Soul King, had truly been exhausting. Even Dai Mubai, who had the highest Soul Power among them, was still twenty levels below Taino.

"Thank you all for helping this time." Tang San clasped his fists toward the others from Shrek.

"Xiao San, we're brothers. No need to be so polite," Dai Mubai said generously.

Ma Hongjun said excitedly, "Are you kidding? We're the Shrek Seven Devils. So what if he was a Soul King? Didn't we still beat him?"

"This time it was Tailong's dad. Next time, could Tailong's grandpa come after us too?" Xiao Wu asked, sticking out her tongue.

"Probably not, right?"

"That might actually be possible." Zhao Zilong walked over with a teasing smile. "The Strength Clan is famous for protecting its own, and the clan leader is a Soul Douluo-level expert. If Tailong's grandpa really comes, that'll be interesting."

"No way, a Soul Douluo?" Xiao Wu's expression turned somewhat grim at the mention of a Soul Douluo.

Tang San comforted her, "I think the head of a clan, and a Soul Douluo-level expert at that, probably wouldn't come over such a trivial matter."

"Even if he's a Soul Douluo, I'm not afraid. Seven Treasure City is close by anyway." Ning Rongrong did not seem bothered. She walked up to Zhao Zilong and asked, "Zilong, did you come to Shrek Academy for something this time?"

"I just came to see you all. After all, I was once considered a member of Shrek too." Zhao Zilong grinned. "Rongrong, you're already level 29?"

Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly. "Yes, I only reached level 29 not long ago. It's not just me—Zhuqing and Fatty are level 29 too. By the way, Zilong, what level are you now?"

"Me?" Zhao Zilong looked a little awkward. "Forget it. You'd better not know, or it might hurt your confidence."

"Tell me! What level are you?" Ning Rongrong asked coquettishly, hugging Zhao Zilong's arm.

Meng Yiran, standing nearby, nearly turned green with jealousy. She reminded her, "Rongrong, it's broad daylight. Watch yourself."

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and completely ignored Meng Yiran, making Meng Yiran furious.

Watching from behind Ning Rongrong, Oscar could only reveal an envious, jealous gaze, yet there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Zilong was also helpless against Ning Rongrong's coquettish behavior. "A few days ago, I just obtained my fourth spirit ring."

"What?" Hearing Zhao Zilong's words, the Shrek Seven Devils felt their worldview crumble. Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "That means you've reached Soul Ancestor?"

"That's right."

Tang San also found it hard to believe. Xiao Wu immediately said, "How is that possible? My Soul Power is only level 34. How could you have advanced so quickly?"

Naturally, Meng Yiran would not miss such a good opportunity. She immediately said, "Zilong, why not show them your fourth spirit ring?"

Zhao Zilong refused. "No, I'm planning to reveal it during the Spirit Master Competition. That's the best stage to amaze everyone." After all, his fourth spirit ring was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, which would definitely arouse plenty of suspicion. Zhao Zilong did not have a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao protecting him at all times, so it was better to keep a low profile.

"Hmph, what's the big deal?" Ning Rongrong gave a delicate snort and did not press him further.

Zhao Zilong then asked, "By the way, I heard this new Shrek Academy was given to Headmaster Flender by the former headmaster of Blue Tyrant Academy. What's her relationship with Headmaster Flender?"

"You mean Vice Headmaster Erlong?" Ma Hongjun walked over with a grin. "She's one of the renowned Golden Iron Triangle, the Horn of Slaughter. She's a level 72 Soul Saint."

Zhao Zilong was somewhat surprised. The original work had never stated Liu Erlong's exact Soul Power level, only that it was somewhere in the seventies. "Level 72? Then her Soul Power is only below Headmaster Flender's and Vice Headmaster Zhao Wuji's?"

Dai Mubai came over and patted Zhao Zilong on the shoulder. "It's rare for you to visit. Come on, I'm treating today. Let's go have a good meal."

"Great! It's rare for Boss Dai to treat us. I have to eat my fill," Ma Hongjun said excitedly.

"Where are you going to eat? Academy rules forbid you from going outside for meals. And have you finished today's training?" At that moment, a fiery female voice rang out. A woman in her thirties walked over, possessing a hot and perfect figure unlike that of ordinary women. The moment she approached, the Shrek Seven Devils all shrank back slightly.

"Teacher Erlong."

Liu Erlong stood with her hands on her hips, her gaze sweeping over the Shrek students before settling on Meng Yiran. "I remember you seem to be..."

Dai Mubai immediately stepped forward to explain, "Teacher Erlong, these two are Zhao Zilong and Meng Yiran. You've met Meng Yiran before. They were both originally students of Shrek as well, but because of what happened last time, they joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Zilong and Yiran rarely come to visit, so I was saying I'd treat them to a meal."
