Following the direction of the voice, Zhao Wuji chased it all the way to a forest outside Shrek Academy.
As a powerful Soul Sage, Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji was considered one of the most top-tier existences in the entire soul master world.
But if he had not followed the voice, he would have been unable to detect this speaker through intuition alone.
Moreover, the voice sounded as though it were speaking right beside his ear. Clearly, this person's strength was absolutely unfathomable.
"Come out. I know you're here." Zhao Wuji scanned his surroundings and shouted.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and a black figure slowly walked out from behind a large tree.
The man was dressed entirely in black nightwear, even wearing a black hood over his head. In his hand, he held a pitch-black object whose shape could not be made out.
"Who are you? Why have you come looking for me?" Zhao Wuji asked in a deep voice.
The man in black said nothing, but Soul Power suddenly surged from his body like raging waves.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet and settled motionlessly around his body.
Zhao Wuji stared at the man in black with his mouth agape, feeling as though his brain was about to explode.
A Titled Douluo! A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Zhao Wuji's burly body suddenly trembled. He hurriedly bent at the waist and saluted. "May I ask which senior has arrived? I was offensive just now. Please forgive me, senior."
"I never expected to meet the legendary Immovable Ming King in a remote little place like this." The man in black spoke indifferently. "As it happens, I haven't fought anyone in a long time, and my hands are itching. Please give me some pointers?"
Zhao Wuji revealed a bitter smile and hurriedly waved his hands in refusal. "Your Excellency, please don't joke with me. I'm only a Soul Sage. How could I possibly spar with you?"
The man in black let out a cold chuckle. "When you bullied those children with your superior strength during the day, why didn't you think that way? Since you enjoy bullying people so much, I'll bully you a little!"
"I was only testing the little fellows' combat abilities. I didn't mean anything else. You can't do this!" Zhao Wuji hurriedly waved his hands.
The man in black snorted coldly, then turned toward another direction in the darkness. "Since you're already here, why aren't you showing yourselves? It makes no difference how many of you come."
The wind howled as a pair of enormous wings flapped, slowly descending from the sky.
Flender was covered in avian feathers, with vertical pupils in his orange-yellow eyes. He had already summoned his Cat Eagle martial soul.
Beside him, Great Master Yu followed along with an awkward expression.
What Flender had done to him earlier was still fresh in his mind, leaving him with lingering psychological trauma.
"Greetings, Haotian Your Excellency."
Although Flender had summoned his martial soul, he had no intention of attacking. Instead, he clasped his fists and saluted respectfully.
When he heard the words "Haotian," Zhao Wuji's body immediately shook. He finally realized who this person before him was.
This was the Titled Douluo known as the strongest wielder of power in the soul master world. His martial soul's development was completely identical to Zhao Wuji's, but compared to him, Zhao Wuji's strength was merely a firefly trying to rival the brilliance of the moon.
Tang Hao said indifferently, "The Flying Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, Flender. This Shrek Academy should belong to you, right?"
Tang Hao's words directly tore open Flender's wound, and tears of regret immediately flowed from his eyes.
"It still does for now, but it might not in the future."
"Oh? What happened?" Tang Hao asked in confusion.
With a bitter expression on his old face, Flender rambled on as he recounted everything that had happened that day to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao: .
I didn't understand much, but I'm absolutely shocked!
"Your Excellency, Old Zhao was a little excessive with Tang San today, but the main issue is that Tang San's martial soul is just too infuriating," Flender said. "It urinated into other people's mouths and even farted in their faces. It has no manners at all."
"By the way, Haotian Your Excellency, do you have any idea about Tang San's martial soul mutation?"
When Tang Hao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
When Tang San's martial soul mutated during the day, he had actually been watching from not far away.
Originally, he had thought that the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San's body had awakened. He never imagined that his precious son's martial soul would actually turn into a pig.
Greatly shocked, he had nearly revealed himself to check Tang San's physical condition.
However, during the battle with Zhao Wuji afterward, the strength displayed by the Blue Silver Pig had also startled Tang Hao.
It possessed the ability to fight independently, and its combat skills were even superior to Tang San's. It had actually rendered Zhao Wuji helpless. It was practically heaven-defying.
Of course, the Blue Silver Pig's attack methods were indeed somewhat despicable and inhuman.
However, considering that the Blue Silver Pig itself was not human, this issue could be ignored.
From the looks of it, Tang San's martial soul mutation should not be malignant but beneficial.
It was just that Tang San's performance today had been truly terrible. If he could have coordinated with the Blue Silver Pig to a certain degree, he definitely could have easily lasted two incense sticks under Zhao Wuji's attacks.
In the end, the Blue Silver Pig had not faltered, but Tang San, that pig of a teammate, had been instantly defeated by Zhao Wuji. Even Tang Hao could not help feeling depressed as he watched.
"Great Master Yu, I wonder what you've taught Little San all these years?" Tang Hao said indifferently. "As far as I can tell, you've infected him with all of it."
Tang Hao had meant that Tang San's combat awareness was so poor because Great Master Yu had failed to teach him properly.
But in Great Master Yu's interpretation, Tang Hao meant that Tang San's martial soul had turned into a pig because he had been infected by Great Master Yu.
Heavens above, earth below! I'm innocent! So wronged!
"Forget it. Whether I'm herding one sheep or two, I might as well beat up you, Yu Xiaogang, today as well. It'll count as revenge for my son."
Tang Hao grabbed Zhao Wuji and Great Master Yu with one hand each, hoisted them up, and strode into the nearby woods.
"Haotian Your Excellency, you can't do this!" Flender hurriedly tried to stop him.
Tang Hao waved a hand. "Stop talking nonsense. Stand aside, or I'll take you down too."
"Today, you, Zhao Wuji, stepped on my son's butt. I'll beat both your butts in return. That makes us even!" Tang Hao said indifferently.
"Boss, boss, Haotian Your Excellency is taking off my pants! Save me!" Zhao Wuji screamed at the top of his lungs.
The sounds of collisions, surging force, muffled groans, and screams soon rang out one after another in the forest.
Flender, who stood to the side with his two wings spread, could not help covering his eyes and turning his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.
Yet none of them noticed that the moon was already high overhead and that it was now midnight.
Inside one of the rooms at Shrek Academy, Shen He had been meditating with his eyes closed. However, a line of golden narration suddenly appeared in his vision.
[ Tang Hao carried Zhao Wuji and Great Master Yu into the woods, preparing to give their butts a thorough beating. ]
Shen He smiled faintly. With a thought, he changed "beating" to "touching."
