Canghui Academy: Seven Against Three, Advantage Me

"If you've got the guts, come outside and fight!"

Dai Mubai was clearly the one who had instigated the conflict, yet his arrogant and overbearing expression made it seem as if he were pinning all the blame on Blue Sunshine Academy.

The students of Blue Sunshine Academy were no pushovers; since Dai Mubai had actively sought trouble, they weren't about to just take it lying down.

As Soul Masters, one naturally had to fight for a shred of dignity, and with a Soul King teacher from their academy leading the trip, the students of Blue Sunshine Academy felt quite confident.

Dai Mubai walked outside the inn, and seeing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar followed suit.

As core students of Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun and Oscar naturally embraced the motto "a mediocre person is one who dares not cause trouble." They were the type to never think a spectacle was too big and would actively jump into the fray whenever there was excitement to be found.

On the other hand, the counterattacks the Blue Sunshine Academy students had directed at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had indeed spilled over to affect Oscar, so he followed along of his own volition.

Dai Mubai stood at the very front, facing the group from Blue Sunshine Academy with a stern expression.

"Brothers, summon your Martial Souls!"

Dai Mubai shouted, but only Ma Hongjun and Oscar responded by summoning their Martial Souls.

As for Li Luo and the other Shrek students, they paid no heed to Dai Mubai's provocation, continuing to eat their meals as if nothing were happening.

If one starts trouble, one should settle it oneself—though Dai Mubai did not see it that way.

Seeing that Li Luo and the others had no intention of helping, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and cursed them under his breath for being short-sighted and lacking vision.

Yet, he remained at the front, facing the Blue Sunshine Academy group head-on.

Three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—slowly rose beneath Dai Mubai's feet, and the phantom of a White Tiger manifested behind him.

Two soul rings, both yellow, rose beneath the feet of Ma Hongjun and Oscar respectively.

At the same time, a fiery red phantom of a Grass Chicken appeared behind Ma Hongjun, while a large sausage appeared in Oscar's hand.

"Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 37 Assault-type Battle Soul Elder."

"Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 27 Assault-type Battle Soul Master."

"Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 30 Food-type Soul Grand Master."

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar did not reveal their true names; after all, they were away from home, and some information was best kept confidential.

When the Blue Sunshine Academy group heard that Dai Mubai was actually a Soul Elder with a soul power level as high as 37, they were momentarily struck with fear.

But upon seeing that the other two were only Soul Grand Masters, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although all seven students from Blue Sunshine Academy were only Soul Grand Masters, it was seven against three—the advantage was theirs.

Having been so humiliated by Dai Mubai earlier, Blue Sunshine Academy was naturally not going to hold back their tongues now.

Hearing Ma Hongjun claim his Martial Soul was an Evil Fire Phoenix, they burst into laughter.

"You? An Evil Fire Phoenix? I think a Grass Chicken is more like it!"

"Shut your mouths! My Martial Soul is a Phoenix! A Phoenix!"

The thing Ma Hongjun hated most was someone calling his Martial Soul a Grass Chicken. The words from Blue Sunshine Academy hit his sore spot, and he immediately exploded.

"Second Soul Skill: Bath of Fire Phoenix!"

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"

Truth be told, although Ma Hongjun wasn't much of a person and was lazy in his cultivation, his basic combat instincts were decent. He started by using Bath of Fire Phoenix to buff himself with an attack effect, then followed up with his core offensive skill.

Seeing Ma Hongjun fight without honor—attacking before they were ready—the Blue Sunshine Academy students cursed, and two defensive-type Battle Soul Masters stepped forward to block his attack.

The battle broke out instantly. Leveraging his level 37 soul power advantage, Dai Mubai used his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and charged directly into the ranks of Blue Sunshine Academy, moving in and out as if there were no one there to stop him.

Ma Hongjun continued to provide fire support from a distance. The attack power of the Evil Fire Phoenix was quite high, and he managed to keep the two defensive Soul Masters of Blue Sunshine Academy so busy that they had no time to intercept Dai Mubai.

It must be mentioned, however, that the coordination between Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai was abysmal; several times, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fireline went wide, nearly hitting Dai Mubai.

Oscar's task was much simpler: he only needed to continuously use his first soul skill to produce large sausages that could restore soul power.

With the crushing advantage of their soul power levels, the trio of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar completely dominated the seven students of Blue Sunshine Academy.

Just as Dai Mubai approached the backline of Blue Sunshine Academy, preparing to unleash a heavy blow, a cold aura suddenly enveloped him.

Dai Mubai threw a punch, but the expected sight of his opponent being sent flying did not occur; instead, his fist landed against a hard, turtle-like shell.

Dai Mubai looked closely and realized that standing before him was not one of the Blue Sunshine Academy students, but a middle-aged man with a receding hairline and glasses perched on his nose.

Five soul rings—white, yellow, yellow, purple, purple—circled the middle-aged man. He was a powerhouse at the Soul King level. Although his soul ring configuration was extremely poor, he was still far beyond what a level 37 Dai Mubai could contend with.

"Which academy are you students from? Call your teacher here!"

The middle-aged man was Ye Zhiqiu, the teacher leading the Blue Sunshine Academy group. Because he had intervened in time, Dai Mubai hadn't actually injured his students, so he didn't resort to bullying the younger generation by attacking Dai Mubai.

Seeing how young the three were, Ye Zhiqiu assumed they were disciples from a major power, so he didn't dare to act rashly against them.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of having my teacher step in personally?"

Ye Zhiqiu had offered Dai Mubai a way out, but Dai Mubai refused to take it, becoming even more arrogant because he sensed Ye Zhiqiu's desire to avoid escalating the situation.

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Intense Light Wave."

Dai Mubai unleashed the White Tiger Intense Light Wave at Ye Zhiqiu, but it failed to cause any damage.

Seeing that he had taken a step back only for Dai Mubai to remain aggressive, Ye Zhiqiu grew angry, intent on teaching this ignorant brat a lesson.

The third yellow spirit ring on Ye Zhiqiu's body flickered.

He fired a jet of water directly at Dai Mubai, who held Ye Zhiqiu's century-level third spirit ring in such contempt that he prepared to tank the attack head-on using his first spirit skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

However, Ye Zhiqiu was a Spirit King after all, and even a century-level spirit skill was not something Dai Mubai could easily withstand; the water jet struck his White Tiger Body Protection Barrier, forcing him to retreat step after step.

Dai Mubai had not expected that a mere Spirit King with such trashy spirit ring configurations could possess such power in a third, century-level spirit skill.

Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to reach his limit, the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier began to shatter.

Just then, a burly figure landed directly beside Dai Mubai and swatted the water jet away with a single palm.

"Teacher Zhao!"

Seeing who had arrived, Dai Mubai shouted in pleasant surprise.

The newcomer was none other than Zhao Wuji; the earlier scuffle between the three of them and the group from Canghui Academy had been a matter between juniors.

But since the lead teacher of Canghui Academy had dared to make a move against Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, as the lead teacher of Shrek Academy, naturally could not sit idly by.

Even though Dai Mubai had been the one to provoke the other side first, in some matters, right and wrong were irrelevant—one's stance was what mattered.
