"Awesome!"

Ye Hao left the Suotuo Great Soul Arena and walked alone along the road back to the Inn. At this moment, he was not afraid of retaliation from Tang San and the others.

Their top priority now was rescuing Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu had been beaten into a second "Ma Hongjun."

After this battle, Ye Hao and Tang San would be enemies from now on.

"Spicy Rabbit Head!"

Ye Hao stiffened when he realized someone was calling him. Turning around, he saw Ning Rongrong smiling brightly at him.

"You're the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile among the Shrek Seven Devils. What do you want with me? If you're here for revenge, I suggest you forget it. You're an auxiliary-system Soul Master, and besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't someone I can afford to offend."

The two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda regarded Ning Rongrong as the apple of their eye. Naturally, Ye Hao would not make an enemy of her.

"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong. I watched your fight just now. You fought quite well."

Ning Rongrong clapped her hands and cheered excitedly.

"Wasn't that Soft Bone Charm Rabbit your teammate? Your teammate got beaten up, so why are you so happy?"

Ye Hao knowingly asked the question. Earlier, he had spoken with Ning Rongrong from Ye Ritian's perspective, but now he was Spicy Rabbit Head, so he naturally had to pretend nothing was amiss.

Fortunately, he had swapped masks with Sister Lingling earlier. Otherwise, he would have been recognized.

At the mention of this, Ning Rongrong could not help snorting coldly. "That Rabbit was so self-righteous, exactly as that person described her that day. I really misjudged her. I treated her like my own sister, yet I never expected that she and Tang San were that kind of people."

"I came today specifically to let you know something."

"Let me know what?"

Ning Rongrong cautiously lowered her voice. "Be extremely careful of Tang San's retaliation. You beat Xiao Wu up like that today, and Tang San definitely won't let it go. You must watch your safety from now on."

This was absurd. Ning Rongrong, the Little Devil Girl of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had actually come to warn him out of kindness.

By now, Ye Hao had made a preliminary assessment of Tang San's strength. If not for what had happened last night, Tang San might very well have been beaten flat by Ye Hao.

Ye Hao had always had his eye on Tang San's External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Spears. Leaving it with Tang San would always be a major hidden danger.

Looking back on the many events to come, Tang San had relied on the Eight Spider Spears to escape danger time and again.

Just imagine it: if Tang San lost the Eight Spider Spears, it would be like confiscating the tools of his trade. What would he have left to fight Ye Hao with?

Fortunately, the Eight Spider Spears had not yet fused with Tang San. Ye Hao had already confirmed that during last night's clash.

When Ye Hao had obtained the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, he had been in the same condition Tang San was in now. In the end, it was only with the help of the Three Education Commissioners that he fused the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings with his body.

A Soul Bone was part of one's own body, equivalent to one's own bones.

But Tang San was different. At that time, the Eight Spider Spears had yet to fuse with him. This was the perfect opportunity to take them away.

If Tang San and his group really went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it would all be too late.

"Thank you for the warning. It seems you made this trip for nothing."

Ning Rongrong was puzzled. "Why? Aren't you afraid of Tang San's retaliation?"

Ye Hao smiled faintly and pointed at the Medal on his arm.

"Look. What is this?"

Ning Rongrong stepped closer to inspect it. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Ning Fengzhi's daughter, she had certainly seen her share of the world.

"Y-you're a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Ning Rongrong was greatly shocked. Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been founded by the Heaven Dou Empire, and Ning Rongrong naturally knew what made this academy special.

During the earlier battle, Ning Rongrong had been too focused on how it would unfold to notice the marking on Ye Hao's arm at all.

That made sense. The current Ning Rongrong had completely changed her opinion of her former "best friend." Standing on the same side as Zhu Zhuqing, she had seen Tang San and Xiao Wu for who they truly were and had long since become utterly disheartened with Shrek Academy and the Shrek Seven Devils.

Ye Hao covered the marking on his arm and said confidently, "Miss Ning Rongrong, are you still worried that Tang San will retaliate against me now?"

Ye Hao was someone valued by Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and even the "younger brother" Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had mistakenly believed him to be. As for that matter?

Later, Ye Hao would go to Spirit Hall alone, but not now...

People from Heaven Dou Royal Academy had actually come to Heaven Dou City. The Imperial Dou Team?

Ning Rongrong suddenly understood. "Could that newly risen Imperial Dou Team be...?"

Ye Hao smiled faintly. "Miss Ning Rongrong is indeed clever. That's right, the Imperial Dou Team is Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team. Judging by the current situation, our two teams may very well meet in the next battle, or perhaps the one after that."

"Miss Ning Rongrong, please keep my identity confidential."

Ning Rongrong gave him a mysterious smile. "Aren't you afraid I'll go tell Tang San right now?"

Ye Hao burst into laughter. "You're not that kind of person."

"Why?"

Ning Rongrong asked.

"If you wanted Tang San to retaliate against me, you wouldn't have come all this way to warn me."

With that, Ye Hao waved goodbye to Ning Rongrong.

At the same time, at a modest Inn half a city away from the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, where Shrek Academy was staying—

However, a familiar guest had arrived today.

In Headmaster Flender's room, Grandmaster, Flender, and Zhao Wuji were all present. Across from them sat Qin Ming, the leader of the Imperial Dou Team, who had come here alone.

"Hahahaha..."

Flender laughed heartily, his face full of pride.

"Xiaoming, I really never expected it. The team that suddenly rose to prominence at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena is actually the one you lead. A few days ago, I was still wondering why this Imperial Dou Team was so fierce, winning match after match and nearly breaking the consecutive-win record set by our seven little monsters."

Qin Ming smiled and returned the courtesy. "Headmaster Flender, you flatter me. I owe everything I have today to the guidance of all my teachers. Being able to teach at Heaven Dou Royal Academy is my honor."

Grandmaster suddenly interjected, "I took a look at the current situation at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. In the next team Soul Battle, the Shrek Seven Devils and the Imperial Dou Team may very well end up facing each other."

At present, the Shrek Seven Devils were leading the way at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, while the Imperial Dou Team had risen abruptly. Both were on winning streaks and had nearly defeated several of the arena's original teams.
