Oscar the Seeded! Shrek's Woes Pile Up!

Seeing this scene.

Flender and Zhao Wuji's expressions grew even uglier.

"Oscar," Meng Shu's tone softened, "though my Meng Family is not a top-tier clan, in the world of Soul Masters, we are considered a first-class family. If you are willing to come with me, you will lack for nothing in terms of resources or cultivation techniques. I can even give you a chance to pursue my granddaughter."

Oscar opened his mouth but did not speak.

He looked at Flender, then at Zhao Wuji.

"Child, choose for yourself." Chao Tianxiang's voice also softened, no longer so rigid. "As long as you nod, you are one of our own, and the matter of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent will naturally be written off."

"But if you do not nod..."

Chao Tianxiang did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood the meaning behind her sinister gaze.

A dead silence fell over the scene.

After a long while.

Oscar took a deep breath and raised his head. "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Senior."

A trace of a smile flashed in Meng Shu's eyes.

"But I cannot go with you," Oscar continued.

Meng Shu's smile froze.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were also stunned.

The conditions Meng Shu offered were undeniably generous; Oscar's choice was far beyond their expectations, yet it filled them with immense relief.

"What did you say?" Meng Shu's voice sank.

Oscar gritted his teeth. "I appreciate your good intentions, Senior, but I cannot leave."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Meng Shu laughed.

The smile was chillingly cold.

"Good, very good!" Meng Shu raised his Dragon Cane, his eight Soul Rings shining brilliantly. "Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, do not blame this old man for being ruthless!"

Before the words had even faded.

He and Chao Tianxiang attacked in unison.

Having been husband and wife for many years, their coordination was seamless.

The Dragon Cane tore through the air, and the Serpent Cane swept across.

Two phantoms, one dragon and one serpent, soared into the sky and pressed down upon Flender and Zhao Wuji.

"Martial Soul Avatar!" Flender roared, his seven Soul Rings lighting up as a pair of eagle wings unfurled behind him, and he shot into the sky.

Zhao Wuji simultaneously released his Vajra Bear avatar; his figure surged in size, and he threw a punch.

"BOOM!!!"

The violent collision of soul power instantly reduced the surrounding wooden huts to ruins.

In just one exchange, Flender and Zhao Wuji were sent flying backward by the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang.

"Is that all?" Meng Shu sneered. "Heh, you truly overestimate yourselves!"

The Dragon Cane rose again, and his eighth Soul Ring lit up.

"Dragon Roams the Nine Heavens!"

A golden giant dragon phantom soared into the air, whistling toward Flender.

Flender's face turned deathly pale; he could not withstand this strike.

The gap between him and Meng Shu was simply too vast.

"Senior!!!"

Oscar shouted urgently.

Meng Shu's Dragon-headed Cane stopped abruptly, and he looked at Oscar. "Changed your mind?"

"I, I will..." Oscar hesitated, but just as he was about to agree to Meng Shu, Yu Xiaogang stepped out from the corner. "Senior Dragon Duke, please hold your hand. Hear me out."

"Xiaogang!" Flender was startled, suddenly realizing something, and his expression shifted.

Meng Shu frowned. "Who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang bowed in greeting. "Senior Dragon Duke, this junior is Yu Xiaogang."

"Yu Xiaogang? The surname Yu?" Meng Shu was taken aback. He and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, both frowning.

After a moment of thought, realization dawned on their faces.

Meng Shu said indifferently, "So it is you! What? Do you intend to use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family to pressure this old man?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly. "This junior would not dare."

Meng Shu narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Then why did you step forward! Stop playing the Wolf in sheep's clothing! If I kill you all today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family will never know it was me!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted slightly, his brows furrowing: "Senior could naturally kill us all, and the identities of us teachers are certainly not worth mentioning, but... the students of our Shrek Academy are not as simple as Senior thinks."

"Oh?" Meng Shu swept his gaze over Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others in the corner.

Yu Xiaogang walked slowly until he stood before Meng Shu.

Meng Shu was not afraid of any tricks from Yu Xiaogang and watched him quietly.

Then, he saw Yu Xiaogang reach his side, pull out a token engraved with six patterns, and begin to whisper...

As Meng Shu and the Snake Matriarch listened, their shock grew, their eyes sweeping over Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing once more, a look of skepticism mixed with doubt appearing in their eyes.

"Senior may choose not to believe it; our lives are currently in your hands," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

"Your tiny Shrek Academy really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers... Hmph!" Meng Shu suddenly turned around.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh of relief.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others also assumed Meng Shu was about to leave with his people.

However...

Meng Shu spun around abruptly, his Dragon-headed Cane transforming into a dragon shadow as it lunged straight for Flender and Zhao Wuji.

Their expressions changed, and they both struck out at once.

"Bang! Bang!"

In an instant.

Both were sent flying backward, crashing into a wooden cabin that collapsed immediately upon impact.

"If I don't give you a lesson, you'll really think we're easy to bully!"

"And you, you ungrateful brat!"

Meng Shu glared coldly at Oscar, instantly releasing a massive soul pressure that made Oscar's legs tremble until he uncontrollably collapsed to his knees.

"Senior!!!"

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was horrified.

"Enough talk!"

"If it weren't for the sake of the people behind you today, none of you would be alive!"

"Hmph!"

As his words fell, Meng Shu grabbed Oscar and turned around, saying, "Let's go!"

The group had arrived in a grand, imposing manner, and they left the same way.

Even if Oscar was unwilling to join the Meng Family, he could still be taken back to serve as a stud!

With such talent, would it not be a waste to let it go to ruin?

The courtyard was left in a state of utter chaos.

Shrek Academy, which only had four students to begin with, was now left with only three.

Yu Xiaogang's shoulders trembled, his face looking extremely grim.

He had not expected...

That even after revealing the Pope Token, Tang Hao, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and his own background in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Meng Shu would still act this way!

At this moment.

Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin went over to check on the condition of Zhao Wuji and Flender.

Having taken a blow from Meng Shu, both were severely injured, but fortunately, Shao Xin was a food-type Soul Saint with a Sugar Bean martial soul, and his soul skills possessed healing properties.

Although not as effective as a true healing-type soul master, it was better than nothing.

They stabilized the injuries first; they could find a healing-type soul master later.

"If I had known, I should have killed that old hag and that little girl back in the Star Dou Forest that day!" Zhao Wuji said, his face pale as he gritted his teeth.

Flender noticed that Oscar was gone and asked in a deep voice, "Xiaogang, where is Xiao Ao?"

Yu Xiaogang sighed, "He was forcibly taken away by them..."

Upon hearing this, Flender heaved a long sigh and said, "This matter cannot be left as it is. We must rescue Xiao Ao, otherwise, there is no telling what kind of torture he will suffer!"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, "Don't worry, Xiao Ao has such great talent that the old guy surely wouldn't bear to kill him; at most, he'll be reduced to a stud."

Flender's mouth twitched.

Shrek Academy was already short on people, and now things had gone from bad to worse...

Was there even any point in continuing to run this Shrek Academy?
