The Seven Freaks' Pride! First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement! Qian Pingchuan: Huh?

At the same time.

Within the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, after the guards located the Shrek Seven Devils who were still in training, they relayed the situation at the academy gates.

"Who did you say that person was? What did he call Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Little Aunt!" the guard replied earnestly.

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a face full of shock.

Ma Hongjun was also filled with astonishment; he stared at the guard and asked, "Are you mistaken? Where would Zhu Zhuqing get a nephew from? Besides, Boss Dai, could it be that someone from your Star Luo Empire has come looking for her? But is Zhu Zhuqing even old enough to have a nephew that age?"

Dai Mubai pondered for a moment and muttered, "It is possible that someone from the Zhu Family has come; it should be someone from a branch line! It is not impossible for someone from a branch line to call Zhuqing 'Little Aunt'!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling that it made sense.

Being of the same clan, it was perfectly reasonable for there to be a gap in seniority; there might even be people who called Zhu Zhuqing 'Grandma'.

Tang San suggested, "Let's go out and see together. Whether it's true or not, we'll know at a glance! Besides, this is Shrek; no one dares to run wild here!"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a moment of inner conflict, then walked toward the academy gates with a cold expression.

"Where are you all going? Have you finished your weighted runs?"

Just then, Yu Xiaogang appeared from a corner, though no one knew where he had come from.

Tang San explained, "Teacher, a nephew of Zhu Zhuqing's family has come to Shrek. We are worried he might be a fraud, so we are going to take a look!"

"The Zhu Family?"

Yu Xiaogang was startled. He was very knowledgeable about the heritage of the Star Luo Empire's royalty and the Hell Spirit Cat clan. He thought to himself, With Dai Mubai here, the Zhu Family shouldn't be trying to take Zhu Zhuqing back! Hmm... I had better go see for myself.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang straightened his posture and said, "In that case, I will accompany you to take a look. Ma Hongjun, go call your teacher and the vice-dean."

Ma Hongjun scurried off, fearing that if he were late, he would miss the good show.

Soon.

The group appeared at the academy gate. Dai Mubai took the lead, looked at Qian Pingchuan, and asked with a mocking expression, "So you're Zhu Zhuqing's big nephew? Kid, state your name!"

However!

At this moment, Qian Pingchuan's attention was entirely fixed on Tang San!

Qian Pingchuan felt that this ugly kid had a one or two-point resemblance to him around the eyes, and most importantly, the aura Tang San exuded felt familiar! It was that... assassin's aura!

The next instant!

Qian Pingchuan immediately scrutinized Tang San, and his heart skipped a beat: It cannot be wrong! He has hidden weapons concealed in his sleeves! It is absolutely certain! He is definitely from the Tang Sect! In my past life, I was called Tang Yier, and he is called Tang San! He... he is highly likely to be my counterpart!

Opposite him, Tang San frowned slightly. After cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, he was exceptionally sensitive to the gazes of others. He thought, Looking at him, could it be that he noticed the hidden weapons in my sleeves? Hmm, it seems this person is not simple!

"Hey, kid, hurry up and state your name!"

After several seconds had passed, Dai Mubai realized he was being ignored and spoke again, his tone growing impatient.

Qian Pingchuan snapped back to reality, looked at Dai Mubai, and then at Zhu Zhuqing.

The same appearance as Zhu Zhuqin, the same cat ears and tail—it cannot be wrong! It is her!

Qian Pingchuan placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and said, "My name is Qian Pingchuan. You are indeed my Little Aunt; although the relationship is a bit convoluted, it is correct."

Zhu Zhuqing naturally wouldn't believe Qian Pingchuan's words just because of a single sentence. Seeing that he didn't want to offer further explanation, she didn't want to ask about their relationship either. She frowned and asked, "What business do you have coming to find me?"

"According to your sister's request, we need to take you away!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat confused. Beside her, Dai Mubai exploded!

"Kid, who gave you the courage to come to our Shrek and say you want to take away my fiancée?"

Qian Pingchuan shifted his gaze to Dai Mubai and said, "You must be Dai Mubai, right?"

Dai Mubai laughed disdainfully, "If you've heard of my name, you should know that I'm not to be trifled with! State your identity clearly and your purpose for coming here! Don't you dare say anything about taking away my fiancée again! If I hadn't been trying to figure out if you really were Zhuqing's nephew, I would have already swiped you flying!"

Beside him, Yu Xiaogang also spoke up, "That's right! Shrek is not a place without reason; we treat you as a guest! But don't push your luck. Taking away our student? Heh... tell us, who sent you to cause trouble at our Shrek?"

Cause trouble?

Tang San immediately realized something. He thought, Many people might not know Zhuqing's identity, but those with even a little background should understand the significance of the Hell Spirit Cat! So, who would dare come to Shrek to demand someone?

As he thought, a flash of inspiration struck Tang San!

Tang San leaned into Dai Mubai's ear and whispered, "My teacher is right; they must be here to cause trouble! Who has a grudge against us, possesses a powerful background, and would dare offend your Star Luo Empire? The only ones I can think of are: Xue Beng or Prince Xue Xing! Or perhaps, both!"

"What? Xue Beng! Xue Xing!" Dai Mubai was instantly enraged, staring daggers at Qian Pingchuan.

Tang San continued to ask, "Boss Dai, what is the relationship between your Star Luo Empire and the Tiandou Empire?"

Dai Mubai frowned and said, "Bad! It could be described as being at daggers drawn! If it weren't for the Martial Soul Hall standing between the two empires, our Star Luo Empire would have already wiped out the Tiandou Empire!"

"So that's it!" Tang San, looking as if he had expected this, narrowed his eyes and said, "This move by Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing is meant to humiliate the Star Luo Empire! Think about it: Zhu Zhuqing is your fiancée and also represents the face of the Star Luo Empire! If Zhu Zhuqing were taken away and then... the Star Luo Empire would surely lose all face!"

BOOM!

The soul power within Dai Mubai surged instantly, and he roared, "You are courting death! Martial Soul Possession!"

In the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai completed his Martial Soul Possession and, with a whoosh, charged toward Qian Pingchuan.

Behind Qian Pingchuan, Yu Tianshu was startled, but before he could act, Xiong Jun reached out and stopped him, whispering, "It's just a minor scene; none of you are to make a move."

Bang!

In the next second, Dai Mubai's body, which had been flying in, was instantly sent flying back, his speed more than twice as fast as when he arrived!

Yet Qian Pingchuan remained in the posture of having just delivered a kick.

Ozka exclaimed, "Your Highness, that was so cool!"

"You are courting death! Shrek Seven Devils, attack together!" Seeing Dai Mubai kicked back, Tang San hurriedly called his companions to strike together.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, First: Power! Second: Speed! Third: Soul!"

"Old Man has a big sausage! Old Man has a mushroom sausage!"

Ning Rongrong and Oscar unleashed their soul skills almost simultaneously. Several sausages popped out from Oscar's hands with a pop-pop-pop sound, which he then tossed to everyone one by one.

The group caught the sausages, and amidst their shifting movements, they had already taken their respective positions and set up an offensive formation.

Tang San laughed confidently, "Brothers, summon your martial souls! Let them see the might of our Shrek Seven Devils!"

"Hey! Third Brother, wait for me!"

At this moment, Ma Hongjun finally rushed over, stood in his position, and shouted, "Come out! Evil Fire Phoenix!"

Oscar ran behind the group to help Dai Mubai up and asked, "Boss Dai, are you alright?"

"Damn it, he actually ambushed me! I was careless, I didn't dodge!"

Dai Mubai was burning with rage. In two or three steps, he appeared in his designated spot within the Shrek Seven Devils' formation, grinned, and said, "Kid, you won't be so lucky this time! I won't give you another chance to ambush me!"

Qian Pingchuan was silenced for several breaths, then said speechlessly, "You attacked head-on, I countered head-on... how can you call that an ambush?"

"Hmph, still trying to quibble!" Dai Mubai said coldly.

"..."

Qian Pingchuan smiled bitterly, thinking to himself: If not for the earnest teachings of Father Emperor and Mother Empress that a prince must be kind to others... you would already be on the path to death!

At this moment.

Behind the Shrek Seven Devils, Flender and Liu Erlong walked over, stood beside Yu Xiaogang, and asked, "Xiaogang, what is going on?"

Yu Xiaogang gave a brief explanation and then instructed, "Leave the matters of the young to the young! Boss Flender, Erlong, just keep an eye on that burly man! Don't let him interfere with the youngsters."

The two glanced at Xiong Jun and the four masked guards behind Qian Pingchuan. Flender and the others didn't express any opinion; even if Qian Pingchuan had guards and an extraordinary background, they wouldn't be afraid!

Because their school motto was: Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!

Furthermore, their strength as Soul Saints was the source of their confidence to cause trouble! Plus, with the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Clear Sky Douluo hidden in the shadows, they feared nothing!

At this moment.

Among the seven, a dazzling array of yellow and purple soul rings flashed everywhere.

Qian Pingchuan frowned and muttered to himself, "It really is the optimal configuration recorded in history books: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple... Huh?"

Suddenly!

Qian Pingchuan looked at the Blue Silver Grass martial soul in Tang San's hand with shock and uncertainty! Qian Pingchuan felt an extremely familiar aura—it was the bloodline power of the Blue Silver Emperor!

"Blue Silver Emperor!" Qian Pingchuan revealed a look of surprise. At the same time, he became even more certain that Tang San was his counterpart!

Both from the Tang Sect, both with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul!

With so many coincidences gathered together, even if their appearances were worlds apart, the matter of them being counterparts was almost certainly true!

At this moment!

To Tang San and the others, Qian Pingchuan's surprised expression looked like: he was nervous! He was afraid!

The group smiled triumphantly.

Tang San shouted loudly, "First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

"What?"

Qian Pingchuan was suddenly stunned on the spot. Watching the Blue Silver Entanglement reach right in front of him, he remained dazed.

Ma Hongjun laughed heartily, "Look, he's been scared silly by Third Brother's martial soul!"

"Hahaha, and he dared to come to our Shrek to cause trouble? Truly seeking his own death! We don't even need to attack!" Oscar also laughed along.

Slap!

Just as everyone was laughing, Qian Pingchuan raised his hand and grabbed the extending Blue Silver Grass!

"Huh? He actually managed to grab my Blue Silver Grass with his bare hands! His reaction speed is top-tier! But..." A wicked smile curled on the corner of Tang San's mouth as he said, "Heh! But your biggest mistake was touching my Blue Silver Grass with your hand! Because my Blue Silver Grass possesses extremely potent toxins; as soon as you touch it, the toxin will enter your body through your skin! You will fall into a state of paralysis in a short time, thereby losing your ability to fight!"

"Ah? Poison?"

Qian Pingchuan was completely bewildered. Then, upon feeling the toxin seeping into his skin, his expression became even more peculiar.
