A furious roar exploded from within the academy behind Li Yusong!
The voice contained no Soul Power, yet it made everyone's eardrums buzz.
Immediately afterward, a short, sturdy figure strode out with the bearing of a dragon and tiger.
The man looked to be in his fifties. His features were utterly ordinary, but his body was exceptionally solid. His broad shoulders and thick arms brimmed with strength. Though he was not tall, he gave off an oppressive presence.
He was none other than Shrek Academy's vice dean, the Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji!
Zhao Wuji approached Li Yusong with a dark expression. His bell-like eyes locked onto Ye Mu atop the horse, sharp and filled with the pressure of a powerful expert.
"Kid." Zhao Wuji's voice boomed like thunder. "What are you? How dare you spout nonsense at the gates of Shrek Academy? Tired of living?"
[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Zhao Wuji is so short.]
[Tyrannosaurus Tears Down the House Today: He is a little short, but isn't Zhao Wuji a wanted criminal of Spirit Hall? @Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Why aren't you arresting him?]
[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: A wanted criminal is out in the open, yet you do not arrest him. What exactly are you people doing?]
[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: None of your business!]
[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Zhao Wuji was hiding in Shrek Academy and did not do anything afterward, so we forgot about him long ago. Spirit Hall has so many matters to handle. Who has time to care about him?]
[Heaven Dou Empress Little Angel: Not doing your proper work means you do not dare do your proper work. Stop making excuses!]
[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: *******]
[Cat Star Person Never Admits Defeat: It was censored.]
[Blue Silver Sacrifice Specialist: Do not get angry. Anger harms the body.]
[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Exactly. Pope Sister is right here. There will be plenty of chances to arrest him whenever we want.]
[Clear Sky Sect Outsider: Going by Ye Mu's way of thinking, he definitely wants to keep him around for fun.]
[Little Witch of the Glazed Tile Sect: Hehe... exactly. If we dealt with him now, would there not be nothing left to play with later?]
[Rakshasa Sister Not Short of Money: Keep him as a clown.]
[Retired Sea God Administrator: People of the Continent really know how to have fun.]
The aura of a Soul Saint spread out, surging toward Ye Mu like an invisible tide.
The Wind-Galloping Horse beneath Ye Mu snorted uneasily and shifted its hooves slightly, but Ye Mu remained seated upright, his expression only a little more solemn than before.
Flender apparently was not in the academy. That was good news, but this Zhao Wuji before him... was a genuine Soul Saint. If they truly fought, Ye Mu would definitely be no match for him.
But he had not come here to fight today.
Zhao Wuji's expression darkened somewhat. Although he had not released Soul Power, his aura was not something an ordinary person could withstand. This kid before him... was no ordinary person!
Facing Zhao Wuji's pressure and interrogation, Ye Mu spoke loudly, his voice carrying across the entire scene. "The Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji? Heh, I wondered who it was. So it is you... a fugitive wanted by Spirit Hall for many years!"
He deliberately stressed the words "Spirit Hall" and "wanted criminal," making them explode like thunder in every onlooker's ears!
"What?!"
"A wanted criminal of Spirit Hall!"
"How could this academy have a wanted criminal?"
"I knew this could not be any decent academy! It actually has a fugitive from Spirit Hall! My god!"
The parents who had been watching from the sidelines instantly turned pale with terror.
Spirit Hall was a colossal organization spread across the continent, one that had helped countless children awaken their Martial Souls. In the eyes of ordinary people, it represented the orthodoxy and authority of Soul Masters.
Anyone wanted by Spirit Hall was absolutely a vicious criminal!
"Leave! Take the children and leave!"
"We cannot stay at this academy! There is a wanted criminal here!"
"Refund us! Refund the money now!"
The crowd immediately erupted into chaos. The parents ignored everything else, tightly grabbing their children and retreating in panic. Their gazes toward Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong were filled with fear.
In the blink of an eye, the entrance of Shrek Academy fell into complete disorder, and the academy lost all public trust.
Only Tang San and Xiao Wu remained.
The two of them were dumbfounded. That man was actually a fugitive.
"Brother San, what do we do?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Let's watch for now." Tang San did not know what to do either. After all, Yu Xiaogang had told him to join Shrek Academy and had said they would come here in the future.
That left him... deeply conflicted.
Zhao Wuji's face turned black.
His identity had actually been exposed so openly.
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, killing intent surged in his heart. He was about to disregard everything and seize this loudmouthed brat first.
Just as he was about to move.
Buzz!
Lights flashed repeatedly beneath Ye Mu's feet!
Yellow, yellow, black, black!
Four Soul Rings rose abruptly.
Two Ten Thousand Year black Soul Rings were exceptionally glaring.
"This...!!!" Zhao Wuji's raised foot froze midstep. The fury on his face was instantly replaced by shock, and he could not help muttering, "That Soul Ring Configuration!"
As a Soul Saint, his eyesight was naturally exceptional.
The Soul Power Fluctuation emitted by two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings could not be faked.
How could a Soul Ancestor possess two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?
This completely overturned his understanding of Soul Master cultivation!
A young Soul Master with such a rule-breaking, heaven-defying Soul Ring Configuration...
Ye Mu took in Zhao Wuji's shock and curled his lips into a mocking smile. "Zhao Wuji, judging by your expression, are you planning to kill me to silence me?"
"However, I advise you to think carefully before making a move."
Ye Mu raised his chin slightly, his gaze contemptuous. "Let me introduce myself. I am Ye Mu, a man of Spirit Hall."
Tang San's eyes widened. Brother, how had he become a man of Spirit Hall again?
Did he really have that many identities?
Still, Ye Mu had never said before that he was from the Star Luo Empire.
"What do you think my standing in Spirit Hall would be, at my age, with a Soul Ring Configuration like this...?"
Ye Mu paused before continuing, "Kill me, and do you think... Spirit Hall will let this go? When that time comes, the ones who arrive will not be ordinary Soul Masters, but Title Douluo and Super Douluo!"
Zhao Wuji's expression became incomparably ugly, as though he had swallowed a fly.
He stared fixedly at the Soul Rings beneath Ye Mu's feet, then looked at Ye Mu's face.
Yellow, yellow, black, black... such a shocking configuration was something he had not merely never seen; he had never even heard of it.
A genius like this would be a core figure any faction protected with all its strength, let alone Spirit Hall.
If anything truly happened to him, it would not be something a mere Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji could bear.
The other party was so fearless. Knowing Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint, he had not fled. Instead, he had revealed his identity... Could powerful experts from Spirit Hall already be watching from nearby in secret?
Were they simply waiting for Zhao Wuji to make a move so they would have an excuse to completely eliminate him, this wanted criminal, along with Shrek Academy?
That thought sent a chill down Zhao Wuji's spine.
Back then, he had escaped Spirit Hall's pursuit largely by luck. He knew all too well just how terrifying Spirit Hall's power was.
If Spirit Hall truly got serious... he would absolutely have no way to escape!
