Liu Erlong, What Are You Looking At? I'm Here to Recruit You!

Ye Shuyuan asked the teacher from Skywater Academy, "Where are Flender and the others?"

The female teacher replied, "They are currently at the academy gate, unilaterally suppressing the guards."

"Old Poison, let us go. It is time to deal with Flender and his group."

"Very well, it will be good to stretch my old bones."

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo prepared to leave and headed toward the academy gate.

"Wait a moment, Grandfather." Just then, Ye Qingzhou called out to stop Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo.

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo turned back and paused. Ye Qingzhou ran to Ye Shuyuan's side and whispered his thoughts into his ear.

Ye Shuyuan's eyes shifted, and he broke into a wide, satisfied grin.

"Good, we shall do exactly as you say. I will go and drag those old fellows from Shrek over here right now."

Watching Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo depart, Shui Yue'er curiously approached Ye Qingzhou and asked:

"What did you say to His Excellency the Doctor just now to make him so happy?"

The discussion between Ye Qingzhou and Ye Shuyuan had inevitably piqued the curiosity of everyone else.

However, Ye Qingzhou did not state the matter plainly.

"It's a secret. You will know soon enough."

The second part of his third Life God Trial required him to save someone from the hands of a Soul Saint.

As it happened, those old fellows from Shrek were indeed Soul Saint-level powerhouses.

The current situation fit the requirement perfectly.

If he did not complete the third Life God Trial now, when would he?

Regarding this, the others present stopped asking further questions.

Shui Qingrou said, "Let us head over."

Since they now had two Titled Douluo presiding over the situation, there was no need to worry about those Shrek fellows.

Shui Qingrou led Ye Qingzhou, the Skywater Academy teacher, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Bing'er away from the office building toward the Skywater Academy training grounds.

Just then, it was time for class to end.

The dismissal bell rang, yet the Skywater Academy teaching building remained completely still. The female students who should have been exiting the building stopped in their tracks upon seeing Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai appear on the training grounds.

The looks they cast toward Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were filled with nothing but disgust.

Clearly, their loathing for these two had reached an extreme.

"That is enough!"

A sharp cry, like an ice spike piercing the air, rang out in the ears of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Hearing this voice, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun ceased their current actions and looked impatiently toward Shui Bing'er and the others.

Dai Mubai's face flushed with anger as he said, "What is it? Can't you see the two of us are busy admiring the beauties?"

"I think you lot are looking to taste my fist."

Having said that, he did not forget to swing his fist toward Shui Qingrou and the others.

Ye Qingzhou stared at Ma Hongjun with a sharp, piercing gaze. Under that look, Ma Hongjun instinctively retreated.

The memory of being brutally beaten by Ye Qingzhou three years ago was still fresh in his mind.

"What an arrogant little brat!" Shui Qingrou did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately releasing the pressure of a Soul Emperor.

This pressure instantly rendered Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai unable to move.

"Back then, if you hadn't relied on numbers to bully others, do you really think I, Shui Qingrou, would fear juniors like you?"

"Dean, let me handle this."

"After all, I have crossed hands with Ma Hongjun before."

At the academy gate.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong were currently settling scores with the guards who had blocked them.

Liu Erlong had entered her Martial Soul Possession state, grabbing a guard by the throat with one hand: "This is the price for your Skywater Academy provoking us."

The guard, held by the throat, struggled to spit out a fragmented sentence: "You are a female soul master yourself, why would you help these filthy people?"

The words "filthy people" immediately displeased Liu Erlong, who retorted righteously: "Filthy people? We are merely trying to resolve the Evil Fire. Not only do you refuse to help, but you turn around and bite us instead. Do you really think Shrek has no one?"

"I have the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! The Upper Three Sects are not something a tiny place like Skywater Academy can afford to provoke!"

Once Liu Erlong said this, Flender and Zhao Wuji felt a pang of guilt.

They had not told her about Ma Hongjun's visits to the brothels, nor that his "cultivation" with Shui Bing'er was also related to such places.

If she truly knew, it was unlikely Liu Erlong would help them.

However, even if she did know, as long as it wasn't something she personally cared about, Liu Erlong wouldn't mind.

The aged voice descended like a massive mountain, the power of a Title Douluo suppressing the entire scene; in that instant, Liu Erlong's arrogance was crushed and extinguished.

Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul automatically disengaged from Martial Soul Possession, and the spirit rings flickering beneath her feet vanished entirely.

"A bunch of rabble, daring to cause trouble at the academy gates—how insolent!"

"This is... a Title Douluo!"

The color drained completely from the faces of the once-arrogant Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji, as the three of them were pinned down by an invisible, immovable mountain.

No, it was two mountains—two entire mountains forcibly sealing their spirit power, leaving them without a shred of resistance.

Liu Erlong released her grip, and the guard she had been choking slipped from her hand, only to be supported by her weakened companion.

Miraculously, a jade-green light appeared upon their bodies, the radiance manifesting like stardust across their wounds.

Under the coverage of that emerald light, the injuries they had just sustained were completely healed, leaving not even a scar behind.

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo walked out from within the academy.

"Come here."

The two simple words spoken by Ye Shuyuan carried an indescribable sense of security.

The two guards were slightly stunned, still unable to recover from the pressure Liu Erlong had inflicted upon them.

Once they finally reacted, they noticed the arrival of the two Title Douluos.

The two guards immediately hurried behind Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo.

Standing behind them, they said with tearful gratitude, "Many thanks to the two Crowned Ones for saving us."

"No need for thanks." Ye Shuyuan swept his gaze over Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Flender. "You three truly have a lot of nerve."

Dugu Bo crossed his arms, his expression as calm as still water. "Old Ye, no need to waste words on them. If you aren't going to make a move, I certainly will."

"I, myself, happen to want to try bullying the weak for a change."

Do not be fooled by the fact that he was the weakest Title Douluo; even so, facing opponents below the Title Douluo rank was effortless for him.

He strode forward, neither releasing his Martial Soul nor his spirit rings, relying purely on the pressure of a Title Douluo.

Flender recognized their identities, his tone filled with shock: "Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Medical Saint Douluo Ye Shuyuan—how are you here?"

He was not only surprised that two Title Douluos had appeared at Skywater Academy, but that it was Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan appearing together.

"Still looking? What are you looking at? I've come to collect you!"

A crisp slap rang out as Dugu Bo struck Flender across the face.
