Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

"Student Qin Ming greets the Vice Dean!"

Zhao Wuji hurriedly helped Qin Ming up and said,

"You brat, you're still so formal. Get up already. You're all grown up now."

At that moment, the other teachers also came over. They had just left the cafeteria, heard the commotion, and came to take a look.

"Well, if it isn't little Qin Ming. You've grown so much."

"Qin Ming greets Teacher Li Yusong."

"Greetings, Teacher Lu Qibin."

"Greetings, Teacher Shao Xin."

Qin Ming bowed to the teachers once more. Their help had played a major role in his achievements today, and they deserved his respect.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Wuji and the others finally learned why the Imperial Fighting Team had come.

Damn it, you little pink-haired brat. Your wings had grown strong enough to fly, and now you actually brought your own students here to challenge us.

They exchanged glances and gave Qin Ming a long, meaningful look. Fine, you wanted a challenge, did you?

Qin Ming looked at Zhao Wuji and the others in confusion. What was wrong with them?

He had simply brought his students to interact with his juniors. Wasn't that a good thing?

With a monster like Zhong Li at Shrek Academy, the other students shouldn't be bad either, right?

What he did not know was that Shrek Academy only had six students left.

Flender was still worrying about what to do if they failed to recruit anyone next year.

As for qualification for the Spirit Master Tournament, he had his own plans for that.

Didn't Er Long run Blue Tyrant Academy? Borrowing it for a while wouldn't be too much, right?

"Come with me, then. They should be gathered on the training field."

Zhao Wuji's enthusiasm had noticeably faded. You thick-browed, big-eyed little pink-haired brat!

Zhao Wuji led the Imperial Fighting Team toward the training field. Shrek Academy's three teachers followed along to watch the excitement.

On the training field, Flender was explaining what they needed to pay attention to in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Although he had driven that eunuch away, he still feared that these remaining children might carelessly follow in his footsteps at the Soul Fighting Arena.

He wondered where Yu Xiaogang had taken Tang San. Would he go looking for Liu Erlong? But Yu Xiaogang was already like that—what use would there be in finding Liu Erlong?

It was worth mentioning that after these days of cultivation, the students' cultivation levels had changed somewhat.

Zhong Li: Level 44 (64), Support Type Tool Soul Ancestor.

Martial Soul: Green Gem (Wind Element God's Eye)

Dai Mubai: Level 38, Assault Type Beast Soul Elder

Martial Soul: White Tiger

Zhu Zhuqing: Level 28, Agility Attack Type Great Soul Master

Martial Soul: Netherworld Spirit Cat

Oscar: Level 33, Support Type Tool Soul Elder

Martial Soul: Sausage

Ma Hongjun: Level 28, Assault Type Soul Grandmaster

Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix

Zhao Yun: Level 28, Defense Type Soul Grandmaster

Martial Soul: Earth Bear

This greatly comforted Flender.

"Flender, that brat Qin Ming brought his students to see you! And while he's at it, he wants to challenge our students."

Zhao Wuji's voice arrived before he did.

Flender had been briefly going over the key points when he heard Zhao Wuji's voice.

He had been rather pleased upon hearing the first part, but the latter information made his face darken.

That brat Qin Ming had brought people here to wreck the place?

Sure enough, Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming were walking at the front, with seven or eight young people under twenty behind them.

Were they really here to challenge Shrek Academy?

"So it's Yu Tianheng and the others."

Zhong Li watched the group approach. Weren't they the bunch who had invited him for drinks?

As they drew closer, the Imperial Fighting Team members also spotted their "acquaintances," Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Brother Zhong Li, we brought good wine today!"

From afar, Yufeng shouted at Zhong Li, as though afraid anyone might not know that he knew Zhong Li.

"Oh, you know Zhong Li too?"

Zhao Wuji turned around and asked Yufeng, who was shouting at the top of his lungs.

"When we first arrived in Suotuo City, we crossed paths once."

Before Yufeng could answer, Qin Ming honestly replied first.

"Yeah, yeah. It was because of Brother Zhong Li that we wanted to come challenge Shrek Academy. Brother Zhong Li is so young, yet he's already a Soul Ancestor powerhouse..."

To be continued.

Battle Against the Imperial Fighting Team

Qin Ming had not seen Flender for a long time, and the two were chatting happily off to the side.

"Brother Zhong Li, we spent a great deal of money this time and got our hands on quite a bit of fine wine. Whoever wins later gets to drink an extra bottle. How about it?"

Yu Tianheng, Yufeng, and the others took out the wine they had bought from their respective Storage Soul Tools.

Seeing that there were no tables on the training field, the Shimo Brothers hurriedly took out a rather large stone table from their Soul Tool for setting down the wine.

You kept tables in your Soul Tools too?

There were no stools, but the table was not very high, so they could just sit on the ground.

"The contract is sealed. Those who break their word shall suffer the Punishment of Eating Rock."

Zhong Li said with a faint smile.

His words truly stunned Yu Tianheng and the others.

What kind of overly refined nonsense was that?

"Brother Zhong Li, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Tianheng asked directly, even using that overly refined style of speech.

The others nodded as well, wanting to know what it meant.

Before Zhong Li could answer, Ning Rongrong, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, said from the side,

"Doesn't it just mean he agreed? Whoever goes back on their word has to eat rocks. I keep telling you to read more, but you never listen..."

Yu Tianheng and the others: ...

Was it that serious? Though it did not seem like much.

"Since you brought wine, we'll prepare some food for later. By the way, you don't mind if everyone joins us, do you?"

These people had come to drink with him, but since they were at the academy, it would not be proper not to invite the others. He had to show some social awareness.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly said,

"Of course we don't mind. The more people there are, the livelier it'll be. Besides, you're the hosts."

After hearing Yu Tianheng's answer, Zhong Li nodded in satisfaction and walked toward Shao Xin. Teacher Shao Xin's cooking was more than presentable.

"Boss, what do you think Brother Zhong Li will use to treat us?"

Yufeng whispered to Yu Tianheng.

"Next time, you can speak a little more quietly!"

Yu Tianheng's face was full of black lines, because every Shrek Academy student was looking at the two of them.

Dai Mubai: I've never felt this invisible before. They're just students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Ma Hongjun and Zhao Yun said nothing, but the little fatty Ma Hongjun kept staring lecherously at the three girls on the other side.

"Teacher Shao Xin, could you help me prepare these ingredients? We can enjoy them with the wine they brought later."

Zhong Li took out the ring Gongsun Li had given him and asked before handing it to Shao Xin.

It contained ingredients Zhong Li had collected over time. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear it had once held had long since been eaten.

Shao Xin and the other two had originally come to watch the fun, never expecting that the Imperial Fighting Team had actually come to drink with Zhong Li.

When Zhong Li came to ask him to prepare the ingredients, Shao Xin accepted the storage ring without a second word. Naturally, he would return it to Zhong Li afterward.

"Of course, no problem! Hehe, I'll get to it right away. By the time you finish fighting, it should be nearly done."

When his plump face broke into a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Thank you, Teacher Shao Xin! You must drink a few extra cups later."

"Alright, I'll be going first. I won't be watching the excitement."

After saying that, Shao Xin took the Storage Soul Tool and jogged toward the cafeteria.

Zhong Li also returned to Zhu Zhuqing's side.

"Brother Zhong Li, that teacher...?"

Yufeng saw Zhong Li say something to Shao Xin, after which Shao Xin ran off with a Storage Soul Tool.

People were naturally curious.

"Teacher Shao Xin is a Food System Soul Sage. Don't worry, what he makes is absolutely delicious."

How could Zhong Li fail to see through Yufeng's thoughts?

"What? A Food System Soul Sage!"

The Imperial Fighting Team members either came from noble families or had top-tier powerhouses in their households. How could they not understand what a Food System Soul Sage represented?

Given enough time, such an existence could alter the outcome of a small- or medium-scale war!

Before they could think further about why Shrek Academy had a Food System Soul Sage, Flender and Qin Ming walked over, with Zhao Wuji standing beside them.

"Since you seem to have finished talking, let's begin the friendly match. This is a friendly match, so stop at the right point."

Flender addressed everyone.

"Dean, the juniors only have six people, while we have eight. For fairness, should two of us sit this one out?"

Qin Ming asked Flender.

Flender: Next time, you don't need to ask. Just sit them out. By asking like this, you make it seem like we're afraid.

"It's a friendly match. Friendship comes first, competition second. Everyone can participate. You..."

If you think it's unfair, you can give us one of yours.

"Alright. Tianheng, take everyone over there. It's more open."

After hearing Flender's words, Qin Ming immediately spoke to Yu Tianheng, the captain.

Flender: Next time, wait until I finish speaking!

Before long, both sides had arrived at their respective positions.

Both sides released their Martial Souls.
