Oscar Was Trying to Get Me Killed!

Before the young man could kick the chair, Ma Hongjun leaped to his feet and slapped him across the face.

The young man had no time to react before Ma Hongjun's slap knocked him to the floor, blood spurting from his nose and mouth.

"Sorry, I hit him too hard."

Ma Hongjun glanced at the young man twitching faintly on the floor, then at Oscar, at a loss for what to do.

"Don't worry, he's not dead. When I told you not to kill and to be kind, I didn't mean you should let people bully you.

Next time something like this happens, hit back. Don't suffer a big loss just because you're too softhearted."

Oscar rubbed Ma Hongjun's head. Holding the young man up with one hand, he spoke softly.

"I'll let you off since you didn't mean to kill. Don't go looking for trouble again. If you provoke someone powerful, you won't even know how you died."

After saying that, Oscar casually flung him away.

The young man was fairly tall, but in Oscar's hands he was like a weightless scarecrow. He went flying, crashing into two tables before hurtling toward the Canghui Academy group.

The middle-aged man from Canghui Academy hurriedly stood and raised both hands, catching the young man by the shoulders.

Ma Hongjun's slap had already left the young man dazed. After Oscar tossed him like that, his head lolled to one side and he passed out completely.

Oscar's white robe fluttered despite the lack of wind as he looked at everyone from Canghui Academy.

"I'll give you a chance. Take them and leave now, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourselves."

Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes burned with excitement. The last time Oscar had said something like that, he'd beaten Dai Mubai to a pulp.

Dai Mubai was looking forward to Oscar taking on five men by himself!

The restaurant erupted in commotion. The diners near the tables occupied by Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy hurriedly got up and moved aside, lest they be caught in the crossfire.

Most people, however, didn't leave the restaurant. They watched the scene before them with eager expressions.

After all, if you wanted to watch a fight between Soul Masters on an ordinary day, you had to go to the Great Soul Arena, and the price was steep.

Now that they could watch for free, it was only natural that ordinary people with Martial Souls would get excited.

Besides, Soul Masters often showed up in this area.

The group from Canghui Academy had come looking for trouble in the first place. Now that one of their companions had been injured, the six remaining students stood up in unison and glared furiously at the Shrek Academy table.

They were about to rush over when the middle-aged man stopped them.

The man helped the young man he had caught into a chair, then glowered at Oscar and barked, "Which academy are you brats from?"

Oscar glanced at him and said softly, "You want to find out which academy I'm from so you can pick on the weak and fear the strong? You're not qualified."

The teacher from Canghui Academy was so furious that his face turned ashen.

"What a bunch of arrogant brats! Teach them a lesson!"

The Canghui Academy students had been waiting for him to give the word. Apart from the one Ma Hongjun had injured and the only female student, the other five immediately charged toward Oscar's table.

"Take care of them."

Oscar looked at Dai Mubai. He'd gotten a rough idea of their strength after grabbing the Soul Master just now. They were easy pickings for Dai Mubai.

"Junior brother, you sit down too."

The five were furious that Oscar was so arrogant as to send just one person to fight all five of them. They didn't even activate their Martial Souls before rushing straight at Dai Mubai!

"Me?"

Dai Mubai pointed at himself, then looked at Oscar.

He could hardly believe it. Wasn't Oscar supposed to be the one fighting? How had it become his job?!

Dai Mubai was panicking, but Oscar showed no intention of stepping in, so he had no choice but to steel himself and charge.

As he rushed forward, he shouted indignantly, "Oscar, if I die because of you, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the two groups met at close range. In his panic, Dai Mubai had already activated his Martial Soul. Lowering his center of gravity, he slapped at one of the young men.

The young man instinctively reached for Dai Mubai, only to take a slap to the face and go flying backward.

The sudden turn of events left Dai Mubai stunned. He stared at his tiger paw in disbelief, then looked at his opponent.

How are they so weak?!

But the fight was still underway, and Dai Mubai had no time to think. He raised his left arm to block the fists of several men charging at him, then punched another opponent.

After knocking two men flying in quick succession, Dai Mubai regained his confidence.

"White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

The shield he summoned blocked two fists and a kick that were about to hit him.

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

With a bang, the blazing orb collided with the three men. They were sent flying moments later!

Dai Mubai moved with lightning speed, barely pausing as he capitalized on his advantage and charged forward. He swept both hands down, ready to knock one of them unconscious!

It all happened in the blink of an eye. The diners watched as five people from Canghui Academy charged in, only to be sent flying back by a single handsome young man. They were all left somewhat stunned.

Some even pointed and whispered, making the teacher from Canghui Academy flush red with fury. He roared in a mixture of shock and anger.

"Are you all idiots? They're using their Martial Souls—why aren't you using yours?!"

Although Dai Mubai had used his Martial Soul, he hadn't had time to follow up with any more attacks. So, although all five men had been sent flying, none of them were seriously injured.

When the five Canghui Academy students gathered again, their fury had reached its peak. Almost without hesitation, they unleashed their Martial Souls.

They couldn't believe that students from a high-level Soul Master Academy could lose to the boy before them, even if he had two Yellow Soul Rings!

They were sure that no matter how strong he was, he couldn't beat all five of them!

In an instant, multicolored lights blazed. The five young men's Spirit Ring levels varied, but their ring colors were much the same. All five had pure white First Soul Rings.

Only two of them had Yellow Second Soul Rings...

All five were Battle Soul Masters, without exception. Two had Tool Spirit Martial Souls, and three had Beast Spirit Martial Souls.

The two Tool Spirits were a long spear and a trident, while the three Beast Spirits were a deer, a sheep, and a horse.

Judging by the Martial Souls themselves, none of them were particularly powerful.

Seeing the others release their Martial Souls, Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes filled with disdain.

"So these are the students of a so-called high-level Soul Master Academy? They even have Ten-Year Soul Rings?"

Dai Mubai rolled his neck slightly and lowered his body. As his fingers flexed, dagger-like claws repeatedly emerged from and retracted into his palms.

"Senior brother, you really aren't going to help?"

Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar with concern, but Oscar shook his head.

"There are five of them, but their Martial Souls are far inferior to Mubai's. Besides, they're all hothouse flowers. Mubai can handle them easily."

As Oscar spoke, Dai Mubai had already charged in. Alternating between White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave, he cut through the five opponents with ease, like a farmer chopping vegetables.

Just as Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes brimmed with murderous intent, the teacher from Canghui Academy finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

"Stop!"
