A Mere Shrek Dares to Scam People

The father and son who had originally wanted their registration fee back saw the situation and said, "Guess it's just our bad luck," before turning to leave.

"Hey, mister, don't go just yet." Qian Renyu stopped the pair, then turned to Li Yusong and said:

"I heard that Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. I wonder, what exactly qualifies as a monster?"

"Our enrollment standards at Shrek Academy are: age no older than twelve, and a soul power of at least level twenty-one. Only those who meet these two requirements are eligible for the second round of assessment," Li Yusong replied.

"Age under twelve and level twenty-one soul power—in any faction, these would be considered geniuses worthy of focused cultivation. So, what resources does Shrek Academy have to nurture such geniuses?"

"Furthermore, since you only accept geniuses, and geniuses are geniuses wherever they go, do they even need your teaching?"

"Or is it that you only know how to cultivate geniuses into more geniuses?"

"Kid, you're looking for trouble!"

With that, Li Yusong released his six soul rings—one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black—revealing himself to be a Soul Emperor.

"Kid, you have to be responsible for your words. I want to see if you can actually bear that responsibility."

"What? You want to make a move? Zhang Zhuan, Yang He."

Hearing Qian Renyu call the names of Zhang Zhuan and Yang He, Li Yusong didn't react, but Tang San and Xiao Wu in the distance felt cold sweat breaking out all over their bodies. Especially Xiao Wu; she had been "taken care of" quite a bit by Zhang Zhuan and Yang He back at Nuoding Academy.

Zhang Zhuan and Yang He stepped forward upon hearing the command. Without even releasing their martial souls, they unleashed a beating on Li Yusong. Soon, Li Yusong was left battered and breathless, lying on the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai knew this wasn't something he could interfere with and hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, hold on! I'll go get backup for you."

With that, he sprinted into Shrek Academy.

Soon, "Who dares to come to my Shrek Academy to cause trouble?"

A man walked out from Shrek Academy. He was short, broad-shouldered, and thick-limbed. He released his Vajra Bear martial soul, with two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings surrounding him—it was Zhao Wuji.

Behind Zhao Wuji was another man with a large hooked nose and glasses, releasing his Cat Eagle martial soul, also surrounded by two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings—it was Flender.

Looking at these two Soul Saints, Zhang Zhuan and Yang He felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They immediately released their own martial souls, shielding Qian Renyu firmly behind them.

Zhang Zhuan and Yang He had only just reached the level of Soul Saint themselves. This was only possible because Qian Renyu often had the Title Douluo Jin Qiang and Yin Dao instruct them, and because Qian Renyu hadn't skimped on resources for them, allowing them to reach the Soul Saint realm in their thirties. Facing two veteran Soul Saints like Flender and Zhao Wuji, they were naturally struggling.

However, they weren't afraid; after all, they had a Title Douluo following them.

Zhao Wuji saw that Zhang Zhuan and Yang He had only recently broken through to the Soul Saint level, and his confidence surged. He didn't intend to waste any more words and prepared to attack.

Flender was a flight-type soul master. Hovering in the sky, his glasses reflecting the light, he spotted Qian Renyu at a glance.

This was someone with a Title Douluo as a bodyguard.

Just because he had tried to scam him, his shop had been smashed twice. If he did it again, wouldn't his Shrek Academy be in danger?

Thinking of this, Flender immediately stopped Zhao Wuji, who was about to attack.

He then retracted his martial soul and said to Qian Renyu, "I didn't know a young master of such status was visiting. Please forgive us for not welcoming you properly."

"Forgiveness? That's easy. If you let me smash up Shrek Academy, I'll naturally forgive you."

Hearing this, Flender's old face twitched.

"Forget it, your Shrek Academy is so dilapidated there's nothing worth smashing. Just return the registration fees to these people first."

"Ten times the amount."

Ten times the refund wasn't much compared to the fate of Shrek Academy, so Flender gritted his teeth and accepted it.

Soon, the registration fees were returned tenfold to those who had been scammed.

"Since the registration fees have been returned, let's talk about personal compensation for me."

"I wonder, young master, how would you like to be compensated?" Flender asked with a bitter face.

"This old man from your Shrek Academy just used his cultivation as a Soul Emperor to threaten me, causing my young heart to suffer great trauma. So, compensate me with one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins—this was more painful than killing Flender. He instinctively shook his head.

"What? It seems you're unwilling. Then let my elders talk to you about it."

Upon hearing Qian Renyu mention elders, Flender immediately thought of the Title Douluo who had smashed his shop, and he shook his head even harder.

"Young master, isn't it just one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins? We will pay it."

Flender searched high and low, turning his cabinets upside down, but only found twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins. He scraped together more from the other teachers at Shrek Academy, totaling only thirty thousand.

He was still short seventy thousand. Where would he get the remaining seventy thousand? Flender then looked at Dai Mubai.

Flender knew exactly what Dai Mubai's background was; he couldn't possibly be short on money.

Dai Mubai saw Flender's gaze and knew what kind of person he was. Moreover, he had nowhere else to go for the time being besides Shrek Academy, so he took out the remaining seventy thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"Dean, as a member of Shrek Academy, I, Dai Mubai, should naturally help share the burden. I will cover the remaining seventy thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Mubai, you're a good lad. The Dean didn't dote on you for nothing."

Flender took the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins he had scraped together and handed them to Qian Renyu.

"Young master, here are the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Is this satisfactory?"

"Hmm, the personal compensation for me is indeed sufficient."

"However, I am still young, and what if the shock I received today affects my future? Therefore, you must give me another one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins as a security deposit for my future life."

"This..." Flender's face drooped so low it could almost drag on the floor.

"What, it seems you are unwilling? In that case, why don't I let my elder speak with you instead?"

"No, no, no, there is no need for that." Flender said hurriedly.

Money, he, Flender, had none left, but he could not afford to offend the Title Douluo behind the other party, so what was he to do?

Thinking of this, Flender looked toward Dai Mubai once again.

Dai Mubai: What the...

Soon, Flender took the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins given by Dai Mubai and handed them to Qian Renyu.

"Young Master, is this acceptable now?"

"Hmm, I have no issues with it now."

"However, those two bodyguards of mine just put on quite a show, and so many people saw it, including all of you."

"One shouldn't watch a performance for free, right? Shouldn't there be some tip money?"

"Of course, I know you all don't have it easy, so you don't need to give too much; one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins will do."

Flender: #####

"What, it looks like you are unwilling? Do you want me to let my elder have a talk with you then!"

This time, before Flender could speak, Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "I say, you brat, are you looking for trouble? It seems you don't know what the might of a Soul Saint is."

Zhao Wuji wanted to continue, but Flender hurriedly covered his mouth.

Then, he looked toward Dai Mubai yet again.

Dai Mubai felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.

What the #####, f**.*

Flender once again took the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins given by Dai Mubai and handed them to Qian Renyu, saying:

"Young Master, can we be done now?"

"Of course, of course."

Just as Qian Renyu was speaking, he suddenly saw Xiao Wu in the crowd, looking at him with murderous intent.
