Tang San then got up and walked out confidently, with Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun following closely behind.
After all, they were the ones who caused the trouble, and none of them could escape.
However, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing made no move, continuing to eat their dishes.
Ning Rongrong was undecided, like a fence-sitter.
The people in the restaurant were puzzled why Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong weren't going together.
But they didn't speak out in mockery either.
The incident that just happened, they hadn't been involved in it at all.
Oscar had even been mocked by the crowd; it was already good that they weren't fighting amongst themselves.
Lan Minghua, on the second floor, stroked his stubble and squinted at Tang San.
"So confident? Could it be that besides the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he has already created an even more powerful Hidden Weapon?"
It wasn't that he was thinking this without reason; Tang San was a snobbish person.
He wouldn't do something he wasn't confident about.
From the Original Work, this could be clearly seen from his attitude during his two returns to the Clear Sky Sect.
First return to Clear Sky Sect at level fifty-nine: My father's fault, I will bear it.
Second return to Clear Sky Sect at level ninety-three: My father is not wrong, you are wrong.
Therefore, Tang San wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about.
Lan Minghua also wanted to see Tang San's true trump card, what Hidden Weapon it was.
If the most powerful Hidden Weapon was just the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he could still keep him as a whetstone for Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.
A good whetstone wasn't that easy to find.
Lan Minghua looked outside the hotel and became a spectator.
Outside the hotel, Dai Mubai and the other three were unable to gain any advantage against Ye Zhi Qiu.
Tang San's less powerful Hidden Weapons couldn't break through Ye Zhi Qiu's defense either.
Instead, based on Yu Xiaogang's theory, they had misjudged that the Black Tortoise Martial Soul had no offensive means, and suffered a great loss.
Dai Mubai was sent flying again, this time spitting blood.
Ma Hongjun wasn't faring any better; he was punched in the abdomen, spitting out the food he had just eaten.
Xiao Wu had also been in danger several times. If Tang San hadn't been secretly supporting her, she might have been injured.
There were too many spectators, so Tang San couldn't find a suitable opportunity to display the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
After all, he was well aware of the principle that an innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure.
If others discovered that he, a Soul Grand Master, could defeat a Soul King with weapons, it would surely attract envious attention.
Without the aid of hidden weapons, he could only flee.
Lan Minghua was somewhat disappointed. Without giving Tang San some stimulation, he feared there was no way to force him to use his powerful hidden weapons.
"Old Zhao, transmit a message to Oscar and Zhuqing, tell them to make a move as well. Tell them they are fighting for the reputation of Shrek."
Zhao Wuji didn't ask for the reason and directly used his soul power to transmit a message to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, telling them to act.
Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing were somewhat reluctant, but they still chose to make a move.
Their participation was solely to defend the reputation of Shrek Academy.
Lan Minghua's instruction for them to act wasn't truly to uphold Shrek's reputation, but rather to seize this opportunity to force out Tang San's trump card.
How to force it?
It was very simple!
As long as Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's performance against Ye Zhi Qiu was more dazzling than his own, Tang San would naturally be unable to resist wanting to outshine them.
At that time, he would either use the Clear Sky Hammer or reveal even more powerful hidden weapons.
Otherwise, with just the two soul skills of his Blue Silver Grass, he wouldn't be able to put on any dazzling performance.
The battle outside the hotel was also drawing to a close. Although Ye Zhi Qiu had the upper hand against Tang San and the other three, he still felt extremely humiliated.
"You forced me to do this. Be careful, don't die!"
Before his words even fell, Ye Zhi Qiu's fourth soul ring lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Mysterious Water Vortex!"
He slammed his palms onto the ground, and a massive vortex rapidly spread out from him, instantly engulfing Dai Mubai and the other three.
A powerful suction pulled at the four. Tang San felt his feet sinking into a quagmire, making it difficult to break free.
Without giving Tang San and the other three a chance to react, his fifth soul ring lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Mysterious Tortoise Earth Split!"
Ye Zhi Qiu stomped heavily on the ground. The ground before Dai Mubai and the others cracked open, and mysterious water splashed out.
The splashing Mysterious Water suddenly condensed, turning into sharp ice thorns that shot out.
Tang San and the others, due to the suction of the Mysterious Water Vortex, had no chance to dodge.
At a Critical Moment, a layer of golden light blocked the ice thorns, making a clanging sound.
Dai Mubai saw Oscar blocking in front of him and said indignantly, "Hmph, I don't need you to save me!"
However, Oscar didn't even turn around and said indifferently, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not acting to save you."
"Then tell me, why are you acting!" Dai Mubai roared, thinking Oscar was humiliating him.
Oscar ignored him and said indifferently, "Just to let others know that Shrek isn't entirely made up of troublemakers like you. That's all!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and the other three turned ashen, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
They had caused the trouble, yet others had to clean up their mess.
They were truly unskilled yet loved to cause trouble.
"Hmph, you're still in the mood for infighting with a great enemy before us, do you look down on me!"
Ye Zhi Qiu, a dignified Soul King, was being ignored by a group of children; this was too disrespectful.
"Third Soul Skill, Mysterious Water Surge!"
His soul power surged again, and he spat out a Black Cold Tide, targeting Oscar.
Oscar neither dodged nor evaded, his whole body radiating golden light.
A thin layer of golden light easily blocked Ye Zhi Qiu's third soul skill.
Moreover, the chill contained within the Mysterious Water could not penetrate the golden light.
Lan Minghua's lips curved slightly. He dared to let Oscar act because he was confident.
This was because the Indestructible Vajra Body had two uses.
The first was to infuse the golden light into the body, making the skin indestructible and impervious to water and fire.
The second was to project the golden light outwards, similar to the Golden Light Spell of the Eight Great Spells of Taoism. It could not only protect the body but also be used for shapeshifting attacks.
Most importantly, the golden light of the Indestructible Vajra Body ignored Negative Effects.
This meant that the chill from Ye Zhi Qiu's Mysterious Water had no effect on Oscar.
"Oscar, let me see how much you've grown in the days I've been away!"
Lan Minghua sensed that the golden light within Oscar had at least quadrupled, and even a Godly Zhuge Crossbow might not be able to break through Oscar's current defense.
Oscar advanced, unaffected by Ye Zhi Qiu's soul skill.
Compared to Dai Mubai and the others, the difference was clear.
Zhu Zhuqing moved like a phantom, unleashing Nether Hundred Claws and Hell Stab simultaneously.
The attack was too fast for Ye Zhi Qiu to dodge completely.
At the critical moment, he actually retracted his entire head into his turtle shell, avoiding Zhu Zhuqing's surprise attack.
"Damn it, I didn't expect these two kids' soul power to be no weaker than the previous ones!"
Ye Zhi Qiu felt stifled; his soul power was nearly depleted.
As he was thinking, Oscar's voice reached his ears.
"Be careful!"
Sensing danger, Ye Zhi Qiu quickly activated his First Soul Skill, Mysterious Tortoise Body Protection.
Oscar raised his right hand, and a golden light condensed above his head into a giant palm.
With a fierce swing, the golden giant palm heavily struck the turtle shell.
With a crack, Ye Zhi Qiu's Mysterious Tortoise Body Protection was actually cracked by the palm strike.
