An 85,000-Year Blazing Flying Luan? A 5-Level Surge, a 600% Increase? Comparable to a Titled Douluo!

"What are you trying to do?!"

Ning Rongrong shrieked and tried to dodge.

"What am I trying to do?

I'm making sure no one will ever want to look at your face again."

Huang Yan flicked a finger. Wisps of sparks, like maggots gnawing at bone, shot straight toward Ning Rongrong's face.

"No—!

Help me!

Tang San, help me!"

Tang San's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as he frantically flung the Dragon Whisker Needles in his hand.

"How dare you!"

"Get lost!"

Huang Yan casually waved a hand, and his Soul Power swept Tang San off his feet like a crashing wave.

Without the slightest suspense, the sparks landed on Ning Rongrong's pampered face.

The sizzling sound of flesh burning was accompanied by a scream so heartrending it could curdle the blood.

In an instant, the wisps of Evil Fire left irreparable, charred scars across her skin.

"Ah!!

My face!

My face!"

Ning Rongrong clutched her face and collapsed to the ground, blood seeping through her fingers.

Huang Yan looked down at her coldly.

"For the rest of your life, you can wear that face while you play your high-and-mighty princess."

Ning Rongrong's heart-rending wails echoed through the restaurant.

Every cry was a blunt knife, slicing into the hearts of the Shrek crowd.

"Heh... heh heh..."

Ma Hongjun, who had been in so much pain he was nearly unconscious, managed to pry open his swollen, slit-like eyes.

When he saw Ning Rongrong's face, covered in charred scars and mangled flesh, a twisted delight flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes.

"Ruined... it's all ruined... Good, good!

If I can't be a man, then you can forget about being beautiful... Let's all rot together!"

"Fatty, shut up!"

Dai Mubai snapped, then looked anxiously at Ning Rongrong.

Oscar's eyes were bloodshot. His fists clenched with a crackle, and he abruptly stepped forward, roaring, "Huang Yan!

You beast!

Rongrong is so beautiful, and you could still bring yourself to do something this cruel!

Even if it costs me my life, I'll—"

Huang Yan merely shot Oscar a cold sidelong glance.

The Soul Power around him trembled slightly, and its pressure locked directly onto Oscar.

The rest of Oscar's words caught in his throat.

His face turned deathly pale, and his legs began to tremble against his will.

The foot he had stepped forward with retreated half a step, despite himself.

"Risk your life?

What have you got to risk it with?"

Huang Yan sneered.

"Those few sausages of yours?"

"Oscar!

You coward!"

Ning Rongrong endured the pain and shrieked, her face twisted with fury.

"Didn't you say you'd protect me?

He's right there, so go on, do something!

Get lost!

Get out of my sight!

I never want to see a useless piece of trash like you again!"

Oscar stood frozen in place, his face burning red. He was so mortified he wanted the ground to swallow him, but he still didn't dare take another step forward.

Ning Rongrong had no time to keep humiliating Oscar. Trembling, she turned to Tang San and Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with desperation and madness.

"Third Brother!

Xiao Wu!

Help me get revenge!

Kill him!

I want him torn to pieces!"

Tang San stared at Ning Rongrong's face, so badly disfigured that her features were unrecognizable, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Tang San instinctively took a small step back. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xiao Wu was even more frightened. She covered her mouth, her eyes betraying a trace of instinctive revulsion and terror.

Ning Rongrong keenly caught their expressions and realized at once that something was wrong.

Ning Rongrong touched her uneven, charred-smelling cheek, and in that moment, her pride crumbled completely.

"Ah—!!

Don't look at me!

None of you look at me!"

Ning Rongrong let out a scream of utter collapse.

She shoved away Dai Mubai, who had tried to help her, and staggered toward the corner. Then she crouched down, clutching her face tightly.

Facing the wall, she sobbed in despair.

The students of Canghui Academy had been huddled in a corner, too scared to make a sound.

Now that the Shrek crowd's miserable state was laid bare, they burst into gleeful laughter.

"Hahaha!

Serves you right!

You Shrek scum were acting all high and mighty just now, weren't you?

So how come every last one of you looks like this now?"

"That fatty was trying to harass a girl earlier, and now look at him—he's been turned into a eunuch! What a satisfying sight!"

"And that stuck-up young lady—now even the beggars on the roadside would have nightmares after seeing her face, wouldn't they?

That's karma for you!"

As the students of Canghui Academy mocked them without restraint, they turned to Huang Yan with awe and admiration and showered him with praise.

"You're a true marvel, big brother!

A Five-Ring Soul King who crippled those 'monsters' with a wave of his hand—that's what a real powerhouse looks like!"

"Big brother, you're amazing!

You've finally avenged Canghui Academy. You're our hero from now on!"

The female student who had been harassed by Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai earlier was now blushing, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She swayed over to Huang Yan, boldly tugged at his sleeve, and spoke in a coquettish voice.

"Thank you for standing up for us just now, big brother.

That dead pig's face was so frightening earlier. Thank goodness you were there.

You're so handsome and valiant. I wonder... if you might have some time later, so this young lady can buy you a drink and properly thank you?"

As she spoke, she deliberately pushed out her chest and threw several flirtatious glances at Huang Yan, her eyes full of unabashed admiration.

Dai Mubai trembled with rage at the mockery and glared at the Canghui students, his eyes bloodshot.

"You useless cowards, kicking someone when they're down! Are you looking to die?!"

"Oh, Boss Dai, maybe you should worry about your dear friends and your dear little sister first."

A Canghui student shot back without backing down.

"What, you don't have the strength to protect your people, so all you can do is yell at us 'useless cowards'?

If you've got the guts, go risk your life against that big brother!"

Dai Mubai glanced at Huang Yan, whose expression remained impassive, then at Ning Rongrong, crouched in the corner and sobbing uncontrollably.

His fury lodged in his chest, turning his face purple-red, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Shui Bing'er walked gracefully over to Huang Yan. Her slender hand naturally slipped around his arm, the gesture practiced and intimate.

She gave the female student a faint glance, making her claim on him unmistakable.

The female student's flirtatious smile froze in place. A trace of unconcealed resentment flashed in her eyes.

She bit her lip in chagrin and turned back to her companions,

but before sitting down, she couldn't resist turning back to throw Huang Yan another meaningful, flirtatious glance.

Shui Bing'er knitted her brows, and the chill around her unconsciously grew stronger.

Huang Yan felt the coldness beside him and turned to see Shui Bing'er looking displeased. He couldn't help laughing.

Huang Yan gently patted the back of Shui Bing'er's hand and comforted her in a warm voice.

"Come on, don't frown.

How could a common tart like her ever catch my eye?

Don't worry. I was only taking care of some garbage just now. I'm the one at fault for letting it offend your eyes."

Only then did Shui Bing'er's furrowed brows relax slightly, though she still gave a soft snort.

"You certainly know how to attract admirers. Someone has their eye on you wherever you go."

Huang Yan shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze back to the battered Shrek crowd. His tone turned teasing once more.

"Bing'er, that's hardly fair.

I never expected that, apart from stirring up trouble, the 'monsters' of Shrek would be best at bawling their eyes out."
