Oscar is trying to harm me!

Before the youth could kick the chair, Ma Hongjun jumped up and slapped him across the face.

The youth, caught completely off guard, was knocked to the ground by Ma Hongjun's slap, blood streaming from his nose and mouth.

"Sorry, I used too much force."

Ma Hongjun looked at the youth twitching on the ground, then glanced at Oscar, feeling at a loss.

"Don't worry, he's not dead. Your senior brother told you not to kill and to be kind, but that doesn't mean you should let others bully you.

In the future, if you encounter something like this, strike when you need to. Don't suffer a major loss just because you're soft-hearted."

Oscar ruffled Ma Hongjun's hair, picked up the youth with one hand, and said softly.

"Since you had no intent to kill, I'll spare you. Don't go looking for trouble again; if you provoke someone truly powerful, you won't even know how you died."

After speaking, Oscar tossed him back with a flick of his hand.

The youth was quite tall, but in Oscar's grip, he felt as weightless as a scarecrow, flying through the air and crashing into two tables before heading toward the group from Canghui Academy.

The middle-aged man from Canghui Academy stood up in a hurry, raised both hands, and caught the youth by the shoulders to break his momentum.

The youth had already been dazed by Ma Hongjun's slap, and after being tossed by Oscar, his neck went limp, and he passed out completely.

Oscar's white robes fluttered despite the lack of wind as he fixed his gaze on the group from Canghui Academy.

"I'll give you one chance: take them and leave immediately, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourselves."

Dai Mubai's Evil Eye was filled with excitement; the last time Oscar said something like that, he had ended up getting beaten to a pulp.

He was looking forward to Oscar's domineering one-versus-five!

The restaurant was in an uproar. Diners near the tables of Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy scrambled to move aside, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

However, most people didn't leave the restaurant immediately, watching the scene unfold with excitement.

After all, one usually had to go to the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena to watch a duel between Spirit Masters, and that cost a pretty penny.

Being able to watch it for free, the ordinary people who also possessed spirits were naturally thrilled.

Moreover, Spirit Masters appeared in this place quite often.

The group from Canghui Academy had come looking for trouble, and now that their companion had been injured, the remaining six students stood up in unison, glaring at the Shrek Academy table.

They were about to charge over, but were stopped by the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man helped the youth he had caught sit in a chair, then glared at Oscar and shouted.

"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 bully the weak and fear the strong? You don't have the qualifications for that."

The face of the teacher from Canghui Academy turned a livid shade of green.

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

The students of Canghui Academy had been waiting for his command. Aside from the one injured by Ma Hongjun and the only female student, the other five immediately charged toward the table where Oscar and the others were sitting.

"It's yours."

Oscar looked at Dai Mubai. After grabbing that Spirit Master earlier, he had a rough idea of this group's strength; to Dai Mubai, they were nothing but easy pickings.

"Junior brother, you sit down too."

Seeing Oscar being so dismissive—actually letting one person fight all five of them—the five were instantly enraged. They didn't even bother to activate their spirits before rushing at Dai Mubai!

"Me?"

Dai Mubai pointed at himself, then looked at Oscar.

He found it hard to believe. Shouldn't Oscar be the one fighting? How did it end up being his turn?!

Although Dai Mubai was panicking, seeing that Oscar had no intention of making a move, he had no choice but to bite the bullet!

As he charged forward, he shouted in grief and indignation, "Oscar, if I get killed because of you, I'll come back to haunt you as a ghost!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the two sides collided. In his panic, Dai Mubai had already activated his spirit. He lowered his center of gravity and slapped one of the youths.

The youth instinctively tried to grab Dai Mubai, but was slapped across the face and sent flying backward.

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

How are they this weak?!

But since the fight was ongoing, Dai Mubai didn't have time to think. He raised his left arm to block a few incoming fists and landed a punch on another person.

After knocking two people away in succession, Dai Mubai's confidence returned.

"White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

The summoned shield blocked the two punches and one kick that were about to land on him.

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

With a loud bang, the scorching ball of light made intimate contact with the three of them, sending them flying backward!

Dai Mubai moved extremely fast, his feet barely pausing. Taking advantage of the momentum, he lunged forward, hands sweeping downward, ready to knock one of them unconscious!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The surrounding diners watched as the five people from Canghui Academy who had charged forward were all beaten back in an instant by a handsome youth, and they were all left dumbfounded.

Some people were even pointing fingers, which made the face of that teacher from Canghui Academy flush red; caught between shock and rage, he roared.

"Are you all idiots? If the opponent uses a Spirit, can't you use yours?!"

Although Dai Mubai had used his Spirit, he hadn't managed to land a finishing blow, so while all five of them had been sent flying, they hadn't sustained any serious injuries.

When the five Canghui Academy students gathered together again, their fury had reached its peak, and they unleashed their Spirits almost without hesitation.

They refused to believe that, as students of an advanced Spirit Master academy, they couldn't defeat the youth before them, even if the opponent had two yellow Spirit Rings!

They believed that no matter how strong the opponent was, he absolutely could not beat the five of them!

In an instant, lights of various colors burst forth; although the Spirit Ring levels of the five youths differed, the colors of their rings were quite similar, with all five of their first Spirit Rings being pure white.

Only two of them possessed yellow second Spirit Rings...

The five individuals were, without exception, Battle Spirit Masters, including two Tool Spirit Battle Spirit Masters and three Beast Spirit Battle Spirit Masters.

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 Spirits themselves, none of them could be considered powerful.

Watching the other side release their Spirits, a look of disdain appeared in Dai Mubai's Evil Eye.

"Is this what they call students of an advanced Spirit Master academy? And with ten-year Spirit Rings at that?"

Dai Mubai twisted his neck slightly, leaned his body forward, and as his ten fingers flexed, dagger-like claws continuously extended and retracted from his palms.

"Senior brother, are we really not going to help?"

Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar with some concern, only to see the latter shake his head.

"Although there are five of them, their Spirits have a huge gap compared to Mubai's. Besides, these people are flowers in a greenhouse; it's very simple for Mubai to beat them."

Just as Oscar was speaking, Dai Mubai had already charged forward, using the White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Intense Light Wave alternately, cutting down all five of his opponents as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.

Just as the killing intent in Dai Mubai's Evil Eye was at its peak, the teacher from Canghui Academy finally couldn't help but step out.

"Stop!"
