Kicking Gongyang Mo (On shelves, QQ members read for free, thanks for your support)

It seemed like a mere spat between two female teachers, but looking beyond the surface, one could see many underlying issues.

How could Zhou Yi dare to gamble with Mu Jin now?

And be so confident as to offer such a heavy stake!

There had to be something fishy going on.

"Is Shrek Academy making things difficult?"

Ning Que instantly thought of Yan Shaozhe.

There was no helping it; the man had too good a reputation.

"Jin Sheng..."

Ning Que subconsciously wanted to arrange something for Jin Sheng, but as soon as the thought formed in his mind, he suppressed it.

He remembered what Guyi had told him; he truly had a severe case of persecution complex.

Because he was only a Support System soul master, he always thought about taking care of those around him, using all sorts of methods to improve their strength.

Vaguely, he felt like everyone was under his control, losing their own selves.

He had already given them such good conditions and help. If, in these struggles among peers, he still had to meticulously plan for every risk for them, would they truly be capable of standing on their own if he were gone one day?

"This free-for-all battle will be a test for them!"

Ning Que decided not to waste any more mental energy interfering in the competition between his sister and the others.

Of course, this didn't mean he would do nothing.

If Shrek Academy acted within the rules, that would be fine. But if they made any moves outside the rules, he wouldn't mind staging another display of power.

Having made his decision, he found a suitable spot and quietly watched the match.

Before the competition even began, four figures were heading towards his location.

"A-Que, why did you ask me to come?"

"Aren't you afraid junior sister Guyi will get jealous?"

The first to reach Ning Que was a man with an extremely effeminate appearance and long, flowing hair. His words were also the kind that could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Such shyness, such a demeanor, and the habit of teasing Ning Que – there was only one person like that in the entire academy.

The current member of the Shrek Seven Devils, Gongyang Mo, whose martial soul was the Rainbow Dragon.

The support from the Rainbow Dragon martial soul was no less than that of their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Unfortunately, he had the same limitation as the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda: Rainbow Seven Colors. He could only reach level 79 in this life, and without a heaven-defying opportunity, he was destined not to reach the Soul Douluo realm of level 80.

"Get lost!"

Ning Que took out a level 5 Soul Tool, the Invincible Barrier, and threw it at Gongyang Mo's face.

"This is..."

Taking the Soul Tool, Gongyang Mo looked at Ning Que in confusion.

He had thought Ning Que had summoned him to once again discuss recruiting him into the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, but instead, he was thrown a level 5 Soul Tool.

This left him very perplexed.

"What, did you forget what I promised you when you first enrolled?"

Ning Que rolled his eyes at Gongyang Mo.

He had tried to recruit this guy more than once.

Because he was extremely curious about what kind of martial soul the child of someone with the Rainbow Dragon martial soul and someone with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul would inherit.

In terms of martial soul quality, there wasn't much difference between the two. Was it possible to have twin support martial souls, and could the fusion of the two martial souls lead to mutations?

However, this guy had already been steeped in Shrek for too long, making him difficult to recruit.

Ning Que had given up on that plan.

Gongyang Mo was not within the scope of his recruitment and assistance. He hadn't intended to bother, but after spending so much time together, this sissy, perhaps because they were both Support System soul masters, constantly clung to him. Over time, some feelings had developed, which was why Ning Que chose to help him this time.

"No way, A-Que, I almost forgot about it, but you still remember."

"This makes me so touched!"

"Come, hug..."

Gongyang Mo put on a show of being deeply moved and opened his arms to hug Ning Que, only to be kicked away by Ning Que.

"This is a level 5 Invincible Barrier I personally crafted. Theoretically, it can block attacks below the eight-ring Soul Douluo level. In passive mode, it can last for 3 seconds, and when actively triggered, it can last for 5 seconds. Because the core materials are controlled by the Sun Moon Empire, its triggered passive defense might not be perfect, but it can still be used to save your life in critical moments..."

"After Guyi finishes her seclusion and we complete our final mission, we'll be graduating from the academy. This is a gift for you all as we leave."

Ning Que explained with a smile.

With the financial resources and channels of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, it wasn't difficult to obtain the core materials for the Invincible Barrier. Crafting a triggered Invincible Barrier comparable to those of the Sun Moon Empire was also entirely possible.

But why would he do that?

Feelings were feelings, but calculations were calculations.

Out of consideration for their shared time as classmates, he had already reminded Gongyang Mo and offered his help.

As for what the final outcome will be, that depends entirely on his own fate.

You must know, the sect had long since investigated the specific location and information regarding that Death Messenger; the reason they kept it from Guyi and did not take her along for the encirclement was precisely to preserve this plot point.

"A-Que, you are too kind. Rest assured, I will definitely keep the gift you gave me close to my body at all times."

After crawling back, Gongyang Mo was thick-skinned enough that he didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about having just been sent flying.

He tucked that defensive Soul Tool close to his body, gave it a gentle caress, and then shot a flirtatious wink at Ning Que.

Ning Que suddenly felt that it would have been better to just let this guy die right there.

He shouldn't have helped him at all!

"Xi Xi, Chen Zifeng, these two Invincible Barriers are prepared for you two."

Immediately, Ning Que took out two more Invincible Barriers for Xi Xi and Chen Zifeng.

These two individuals had always been the targets he was vigorously trying to recruit.

Chen Zifeng's Soul Chasing Sword possessed astonishing speed and lethality, capable of rivaling the Seven Kill Sword of the Sword Douluo Chen Xin from ten thousand years ago.

Making the Seven Kill Sword martial soul reappear within the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was also a wish held by the sect elders.

Alas, the inheritance of the Seven Kill Sword had long since been severed.

Ning Que had been thinking of finding a substitute to help these old fellows barely fulfill a dream; if Chen Zifeng were willing to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, then the sword dao inheritance stored within the sect for ten thousand years would be prepared for him.

As for Xi Xi, among all these Shrek Seven Devils, she was the girl he valued the most.

This was because her talent was the highest.

Although her martial soul was the Lightning Leopard, she had developed it in a counter-intuitive direction, completely concealing her own aura so that, at any given time, she seemed like a complete non-entity.

Ning Que felt that if she were to further elevate this characteristic, she might one day become the strongest assassin king in the darkness.

"A-Que, is the conflict between the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and the Academy really that severe?"

"Is there truly no room for any reconciliation?"

Gongyang Mo put away his cynical attitude and that playful grin, looking at Ning Que with an exceptionally solemn expression.
