"Fatty, what broke?!"

Oscar froze.

The others froze as well.

Tang San hurriedly checked Ma Hongjun's injuries, his expression growing uglier by the second.

There were no obvious external wounds on Ma Hongjun's body.

Yet an eerie chill emanated from his thigh, clearly indicating some kind of special injury.

Tang San examined him closely and discovered that it was gone.

The expression on his face instantly stiffened as he stared in disbelief at Ma Hongjun, who was still immersed in agony.

"Fatty, you..."

"No! This can't be real..."

Ma Hongjun howled in despair.

Tang San abruptly raised his head and glared furiously at Xu Feng.

"You crippled him?!"

Xu Feng replied calmly, "I merely made sure he can no longer harm innocent women in the future. The root of the Evil Fire Phoenix's evil fire problem lies in excessive desire. From now on, he will never again feel that kind of desire, so the evil fire problem will naturally be resolved. This is for his own good."

Only then did the Shrek group realize the severity of the situation.

Although Dai Mubai had broken ribs, severe injuries, and might be left with facial scars, it would not affect his future life.

But Ma Hongjun was different.

From this day onward, he was a crippled man.

Compared to the pain of his physical injuries, the trauma in his heart would likely never heal.

"What twisted logic!"

Oscar's eyes reddened as he said furiously, "You're too vicious! How could you do something so cruel to Fatty?!"

Ning Rongrong was also furious and loudly rebuked her, "You're a girl—how could you bring yourself to be so ruthless?! Don't you feel ashamed?!"

"Ashamed?"

Xu Feng snorted coldly. "Ning Rongrong, you are a woman too. You were born noble, pampered by everyone around you, and no one has ever dared to bully you. But do those commoner women harmed by him deserve to be ruthlessly trampled upon?! In the eyes of nobles like you, is the dignity of commoner women really so worthless?!"

Ning Rongrong was left speechless.

An uproar swept through the scene.

Most of the Royal Academy students came from aristocratic families and had been raised in luxury.

Yet Xu Feng's words left them unable to refute her.

"If my personal shame can prevent more innocent women from suffering at his hands, then what does it matter?!"

The entire venue fell silent.

Shui Bing'er felt somewhat moved.

Xu Feng had used her body and, in her name, destroyed Ma Hongjun.

At first, she had thought Xu Feng had gone a little too far.

But after learning Xu Feng's true intentions, she supported her as well.

Skywater Academy was different from ordinary noble academies.

They had accepted quite a few commoner girls, helping them change their fate.

Shui Bing'er had always been kind-hearted.

If it could spare more innocent women from harm, she did not care about her personal reputation.

"Little Bing'er, well said!"

At that moment, Dugu Bo suddenly began clapping and laughed heartily.

Soon afterward, even more applause rose from the crowd.

Seeing this, Flender grew even angrier. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Xiaogang stopped him.

"Flender, forget it. Let's go!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, but he still retained his rationality.

He knew that Shrek had lost—lost utterly and completely.

They had competed in two consecutive matches, and Shui Bing'er had crushed them both times.

Moreover, Ma Hongjun's shameful behavior had been exposed in public.

If they kept making a scene, they would only humiliate themselves further.

Yu Xiaogang looked toward the three education committee members on the platform and said gravely, "Committee Member Meng, Shrek admits defeat in today's exchange match. Please allow us to take the students for treatment."

Meng Shenji sighed and nodded.

"Go. The academy's healers will assist you."

Yu Xiaogang said no more.

Flender supported Dai Mubai.

Oscar and Tang San helped Ma Hongjun.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu followed behind them.

The group left the training grounds in disgrace.

They had arrived full of high spirits, yet they left in a wretched state.

Everyone watched their retreating backs and whispered among themselves.

"I never expected the Shrek Seven Devils to be so vulnerable..."

"That Shui Bing'er is incredibly strong. She took down two opponents in a row, both complete stomps."

"But wasn't she a little too ruthless? Dai Mubai might be left with scars on his face, and that fatty had it even worse—he got... you know..."

"Didn't you hear what she said? That fatty forced himself on a civilian woman. He deserves it!"

"That's true..."

On the platform, the three education committee members exchanged speechless looks.

None of them had expected the Shrek Seven Devils to end up in such a dismal state.

All three turned their eyes toward Shui Bing'er at the center of the arena.

Shui Bing'er remained as calm as ever, her expression completely unruffled.

Dugu Bo looked at the three committee members and grinned.

He could not care less about what those three old fellows were thinking.

"Girl Bing'er, let's go."

Xu Feng walked toward Dugu Bo, intending to return the body to Shui Bing'er.

"Bing'er, did I scare you just now? Do you think I went a little too far?"

"No. We are one to begin with. What you do is what I do, and I will bear any consequences with you. Besides, I think you did the right thing."

"Don't worry. There won't be any consequences. With a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo here, they won't dare do anything. They can only swallow it."

As they spoke, the switch was completed naturally.

Following behind Dugu Bo, Shui Bing'er returned to being that gentle girl, soft as water.

Dugu Yan jogged over and linked arms with Shui Bing'er.

"Little Sister Bing'er, I never thought you were this strong! Those moves just now were so cool! If you were a boy, who knows how many girls you'd make fall for you."

"Sister Yan Yan, you flatter me."

"I mean it. If you were a boy, even I'd fall for you, hahaha~~~"

Dugu Bo looked at Shui Bing'er and smiled.

"Girl Bing'er, do you remember when we first met?"

"I do. Why?"

"You are the most unusual person I have ever met. You seem gentle on the surface, but there is a fierceness in your bones that makes you impossible to read, as though someone else lives inside your body."

Shui Bing'er smiled but said nothing.

She knew that Dugu Bo had probably realized this long ago.

She did not know how to explain it, nor was there any need to.

"Girl Bing'er, I was only joking. Don't take it seriously."

Dugu Bo turned to Dugu Yan.

"Yan Yan, both you and Bing'er have broken through Rank 40 in Soul Power. Bing'er is going with her grandfather to hunt Soul Beasts, so I'll take you to hunt Soul Beasts as well."

"Isn't that perfect? Can the four of us travel together?"

Shui Bing'er said, "My grandfather and I plan to go to the Ice-Sealed Forest. The environment there is harsh, and Soul Beasts are not easy to find. There is no need for you to suffer along with us."

Dugu Bo smiled.

"Girl Bing'er is right. They have ice attributes, so the Soul Beasts in the Ice-Sealed Forest suit them better. Yan Yan, I'll just take you to the Sunset Forest."

"Alright."

Just as the three were about to leave, Meng Shenji walked over.

He looked at Dugu Bo with a smile.

"Poison Douluo, this child... has quite the temper."

Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

"What's wrong with someone capable having a bit of a temper? Better than certain hypocrites who indulge their students' wrongdoing, isn't it?"

The remark was clearly aimed at someone, but Meng Shenji could only pretend not to understand.

He turned to Shui Bing'er and stated his intention directly.

"Shui Bing'er, would you be interested in joining our Heaven Dou Royal Academy? We can offer you the finest resources and treatment."

Before Shui Bing'er could answer, Dugu Bo waved a hand.

"I'd like a genius like Bing'er to join the Royal Academy too. Unfortunately, she's the star of the Skywater Academy team. She can't come."

"What? Skywater Academy?! Then she and Leng Jun are..."

"The friend I mentioned to you was Leng Jun."

After saying that, Dugu Bo left with Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan.

Meng Shenji stood there frozen, utterly dumbfounded...
