"Teacher Zhao, what do you think of your school motto, and the conduct of your precious students...?"

"Don't they have any self-awareness at all?"

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes finally revealing an undisguised sarcasm. "Those who don't cause trouble are mediocre!"

"Isn't it normal to get beaten up after causing trouble?"

"Or do you think it's perfectly natural for Shrek students to attack us, and that any resistance we show is an unforgivable act of betrayal and poisoning?"

She finally let out a soft sigh, a sigh filled with utter speechlessness and exhaustion at a certain deeply ingrained double standard.

She often felt uncomfortable when she was around Shrek's people.

Because she is a person with normal thinking.

If only Summoner Qian Xunji were here.

Given that guy's double standards and erratic behavior, the ones who should be uncomfortable are probably the Shrek members.

"..."

Zhao Wuji was stunned. He had never been particularly bright, nor was he good at verbal debates or arguments.

Of course, he didn't think he was wrong; his worldview was very "simple."

Might makes right, and whatever the strong say is right.

Those weaker than him must obediently listen to him.

As for those comments, do we need to think about any logic? As long as they sound enjoyable and funny, that's all that matters.

Although Cai Wenji and Yao are more talented than Ma Hongjun, support-type Soul Master face difficulties in cultivation and lack combat power. Isn't it only natural for them to befriend or even curry favor with Ma Hongjun, a Power Attack System Soul Master?

"I can't reason with a little girl like you, but since we've run into each other today, don't blame me for being impolite." Unable to win an argument, Zhao Wuji simply stopped talking.

Zhao Wuji's anger ultimately overwhelmed that moment of thought.

Shrek's protectiveness is ingrained in his bones. Moreover, in his eyes, it is a fact that the other party injured his student. At this moment, his "sophistry" and "talking back" are just adding fuel to the fire!

"Sharp-tongued! I'll take you down first, then we can talk!"

Zhao Wuji roared, and although he did not Martial Soul Possession, his immense Soul Power at the Soul Saint level erupted instantly, making the surrounding air thick and heavy. His enormous fist, which had once shaken mountains, slammed straight at Cai Wenji was sitting on the Hujia Qin, with a whistling sound!

This punch wasn't fast, but its power was terrifying. It was intended to capture rather than kill, but if it landed, even an ordinary Soul King would suffer broken bones and tendons!

"Sister Ji!" Yao was startled by Zhao Wuji's sudden action and called out to Cai Wenji. She subconsciously tried to activate her shield and transform into a spirit to hang on Cai Wenji's head.

She was genuinely timid and afraid of death.

The onlookers were also startled.

However, Cai Wenji remained seated firmly on her zither, her gaze unwavering. Facing the fist, the size of a clay pot and brimming with terrifying power, she simply extended a small hand with utmost calmness.

That hand, fair, slender, and soft as if untouched by the elements, formed a stark contrast to Zhao Wuji's iron fist, covered in calluses, scars, and bulging veins.

The next moment, fist and palm collided.

There was no cracking sound as expected, nor any screams.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Zhao Wuji's ferocious punch was actually caught completely and steadily by that slender, fair hand! The five fingers gently enveloped the tip of his huge fist, remaining completely still!

"???"

Zhao Wuji's angry expression froze instantly, transforming into utter astonishment and disbelief. He felt as if his punch had landed on a defensive Soul Master of the same or even greater power!

The immense power vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea; Zhao Wuji couldn't even bend the opponent's arm by the slightest bit!

Are you kidding me?!

He is none other than Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Wisdom King! A level 76 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint! Even without his Martial Soul, his physical strength and Soul Power alone are enough to shatter monuments and split rocks! How could he be caught so easily by a seemingly weak and frail support-type Soul Master?!

"You..." Zhao Wuji only managed to utter one word.

Cai Wenji moved.

Her slender fingers caught the fist, clenching it lightly as if she were grasping something insignificant.

Then, she casually flicked her arm.

Her movements were as gentle as brushing dew off a flower petal, elegant and graceful.

But with that seemingly casual flick, a terrifying force that Zhao Wuji could not comprehend at all and could not resist suddenly emanated from that small hand!

Zhao Wuji felt an immense force that made him dizzy and disoriented seize him. His massive, mountain-like body was lifted off the ground uncontrollably, and he was easily swung around like a rag doll!

Boom----!!!

Amidst the horrified gazes of all the onlookers, Zhao Wuji's tall body transformed into a black shadow, flying backward like a cannonball and crashing heavily into the exterior wall of a sturdy stone building on the street!

The thick wall cracked and caved in instantly, like paper, forming a huge spiderweb-like pit. Debris flew everywhere, and billowing dust completely swallowed Zhao Wuji's figure.

The entire street fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The wind blew, stirring up dust, but it couldn't dispel the almost frozen shock.

Cai Wenji slowly withdrew her hand, gently dusted off non-existent dust, and remained seated on the Hujia Qin, her expression indifferent, as if she had merely swatted away an annoying fly.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the cloud of smoke, and her soft, gentle voice rang out calmly, yet carried a chilling undertone:

"Now,"

"Can you please listen to people properly now?"

Hiding behind her, Yao's mouth formed an "O" shape as she looked at the cloud of smoke and dust, then at Cai Wenji's petite back. Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously swallowed.

(... Sister Ji... seems to be getting more and more terrifying...)

Those around them stood frozen in place, their faces filled with unprecedented shock and horror.

Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji... was... casually tossed away?!

Chapter 215 Reporting Zhao Wuji

The fight at the hotel quickly attracted the attention of the city guards who were maintaining order for the Advanced Soul Master Tournament nearby.

The stone-paved streets of Vermilion Bird Street in Heaven Dou City were shrouded in sweltering heat. The captain of the guards slammed his black iron spear heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of choking dust. As soon as they arrived, they saw Zhao Wuji crashing into the outer wall, creating a large crater.

The captain of the guards had a bit of a headache.

Zhao Wuji was a wanted criminal who had committed a crime. Previously, they had turned a blind eye to him because of his Soul Saint strength and the reputation of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Zhao Wuji attended, not wanting to cause trouble at such an important time as the Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

But since they weren't actively looking for trouble, why would Zhao Wuji deliberately jump out to cause trouble?

The captain of the guards hesitated, wondering whether to downplay the incident or seize the opportunity to arrest Zhao Wuji...

He glanced at Zhao Wuji, who was scrambling to his feet, then looked at the girl holding the guqin, her gilded armor gleaming coldly in the blazing sun. "The laws of the Heaven Dou Empire are strict, forbidding private duels within the city. Do you think the city guards are just for show?"

Cai Wenji explained the cause and effect of what had just happened, saying that she was attacked by Zhao Wuji and was forced to retaliate, which everyone present could testify to.

······································

In fact, Flender did not want to testify.

He didn't speak at first, letting things slide, hoping that the impulsive Zhao Wuji would teach the group that had betrayed Shrek a lesson.

However, Zhao Wuji was unexpectedly countered by a seemingly weak support-type Soul Master.

When Zhao Wuji was thrown out, Flender even thought he was hallucinating.

He remembered clearly that when Cai Wenji first enrolled, she displayed a zither-type Martial Soul Martial Soul, which should theoretically have no offensive power whatsoever.

Flender looked at the crowd around him, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed back the defense he was about to utter.

The captain of the guards' sharp gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Zhao Wuji, who had just gotten up from the ground.

"Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, is what this person said true?" The captain's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

Zhao Wuji's face turned ashen. He, the Immovable Wisdom King, a level 76 Soul Saint, had actually been thrown out in public by a support-type Soul Master. This was an utter disgrace.

Although he did attack Cai Wenji, Cai Wenji was completely unharmed, while he himself...

He was about to speak in rebuttal.

Zhao Wuji was stunned...

How could this be!

Zhao Wuji was surprised to find that despite being thrown so violently and landing on the bluestone ground, he didn't even have a scratch.

Although I felt a slight misalignment and discomfort in my muscles and bones, there was absolutely no injury.

"Teacher Zhao, I acted a bit too harshly in the heat of the moment, please forgive me." Cai Wenji bowed slightly, her tone sincere, but a barely perceptible wicked smile played on her lips. "I was only acting in self-defense, I had no intention of offending you."

This infuriated Zhao Wuji, who happened to witness it, and he wanted to attack again.

But Flender stopped him in time.

Flender finally stepped in to smooth things over. "Captain, this is all a misunderstanding. Teacher Zhao is just a bit short-tempered. Neither of us was injured. Why don't we just let it go?"

The captain of the guards squinted, glanced at the crowd of onlookers, then at the teachers from the Shrek Academy, and finally fixed his gaze on Cai Wenji.

He thought he was hallucinating; the famous Immovable Wisdom King was actually defeated by a student?

Are they really just playing a trick on him?

However, now that both sides have reconciled, he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Since that's the case, we won't pursue it this time. But remember, private duels are prohibited within Heaven Dou City. This is a one-time exception." The captain gave Zhao Wuji a warning glare before leading his guards away.

·····································

After the guards had gone, Flender adjusted his glasses and looked at Cai Wenji with a complicated expression. "Cai Wenji, can you tell me what happened just now? I remember your Martial Soul should be a pure support type."

Cai Wenji gently stroked the Hujia Qin in her hands and said politely, "Dean Flender, people always grow up. Besides, why do you have such a strong curiosity about other people's affairs?"

"Your student and I will be opponents on the field next, so it's best not to ask for information unnecessarily."

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, but dared not make a move again. The fall he had just suffered made him realize that the seemingly weak girl in front of him was far more powerful than she appeared.

"Let's go." Cai Wenji nodded to the former Shrek Academy teachers behind her, then smiled politely at Flender, "Dean Flender, until we meet again."

Watching the group's departing figures, Zhao Wuji asked unwillingly, "Flender, are we just going to let them go like that?"

Flender's eyes behind his glasses gleamed with shrewdness. "Old Zhao, didn't you notice? When she threw you just now, she didn't even release her Soul Ring."
