Behind Cai Yue'er, Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi watched her act so viciously, his two thick brows drawing tightly together.
He could put up with her usual mischief, but when faced with heroes who had died protecting the continent and fighting the Abyss, she should have shown them some respect, no matter how much resentment she felt. She had no right to hurl such vile insults.
On the other side, Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu also thought Cai Yue'er had gone too far.
Ten years ago, when the Abyss launched its massive invasion, he and Cai Yue'er had gone together to support the Blood God Legion on behalf of Shrek Academy.
Even now, just thinking about it made him feel like a dog's dinner.
It was the most humiliating experience of his entire life.
At the time, the Blood God Legion was still on high alert, and the order to disband had yet to be issued. Under those circumstances, Cai Yue'er had simply run off.
A deserter. An elder of Shrek Academy had deserted.
At that moment, Feng Wuyu felt as if the sky had collapsed. Cai Yue'er's unreliability had once again shattered his understanding of what she was capable of.
That very day, Blood God Legion Commander Zhang Huanyun had politely shown him the door.
Though no one mentioned Cai Yue'er the whole time, he knew he'd been kicked out.
He could still remember the look on Cao Dezhi's face when the Tang Sect Master, who was also Blood One of the Blood God Battalion, had looked at him—struggling to speak, his expression complicated and helpless.
Cai Yue'er had been let off lightly. The Blood God Legion hadn't pursued the grave crime of deserting in the face of battle, and the information had been sealed off rather than allowed to spread through the legion.
But with a deserter like her in Shrek Academy, the academy's two representatives serving as Blood Three and Blood Five in the Blood God Battalion had to lower their heads whenever they spoke with their comrades.
Feng Wuyu had felt awkward too, but he could just turn on his heel and leave. No harm done. Blood Three and Blood Five, however, couldn't do that. For a long time, they couldn't hold their heads up.
Because of her narrow-mindedness, Cai Yue'er had not only disgraced herself, but also dragged down Blood Three and Blood Five, the two Blood Gods, as well as Cao Dezhi, Blood One, and Blood Six, who was also from the Tang Sect.
In his eyes, Cai Yue'er was nothing but a rotten apple in the barrel. And she still had the nerve to hold a grudge against others. It was utterly absurd.
"I'll kill you all!"
Cai Yue'er had no idea what Feng Wuyu and Zhuo Shi were thinking. She let out a hysterical roar.
Her shrill voice tore through the sky, filled with obsession and madness.
Now, the killing intent in her eyes had climbed to its peak. Soul Power surged around her as she abruptly raised the exquisitely carved Moonlight Hollow Scepter in her right hand.
The Full Moon crystal set into the scepter's tip instantly burst into dazzling silver light.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Nine Soul Rings rose with a thunderous boom from beneath her feet, slowly circling her body. The three dazzling red Soul Rings showed the formidable foundation of a Level 96 Super Douluo.
Before anyone could react, her sixth black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring blazed brightly.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Moon Illuminates Heavenly Splendor!"
With her sharp cry, a silver Full Moon rose into the sky, echoing the scepter in her hand.
The moonlight blazed. Two concentrated beams of moonlight, solid as if they had substance, shot down with unstoppable force toward Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao below.
Yuanen Zhentian, not far away, was dumbstruck, his face full of disbelief.
A Level 96 Super Douluo was attacking a Four-Word Battle Armor Master—and two of them, at that!
So this was Silver Moon Douluo. So this was Shrek Academy?
He ignored Cai Yue'er, who was asking for trouble, and instead looked toward Yun Ming. The meaning in his eyes was easy to read: Are all the people from Shrek Academy this bold?
Yun Ming had never expected Cai Yue'er not only to refuse to rein herself in, but to go even further and attack Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao outright.
The meaning in Yuanen Zhentian's gaze made him feel utterly ashamed.
He could have intervened at once, but then he thought better of it. Cai Yue'er's actions had already made Shrek Academy lose face in front of Yuanen Zhentian. If he rushed to stop her now, it would only make matters worse, leaving the academy with not a shred of dignity.
Still, he wasn't worried. Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu had come with him today. Both were seasoned and prudent men who knew how to keep the bigger picture in mind, and their cultivation levels surpassed Cai Yue'er's. They would surely step in to stop her.
Le Lingzhao had already been scowling at Cai Yue'er for her loose tongue. Seeing her dare to attack as well, she gave a cold laugh and sent Soul Power surging into the Soul Bone on her right arm. "You old hag, I've wanted to teach you a lesson for ages. Today, I'm going to smash that filthy mouth of yours!"
Cai Yue'er called herself one of Shrek's Twin Moons. She inherited the aspirations of Shrek Academy's pillar, Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, and was arrogant to the extreme.
In her eyes, the entire Yuanen Family was dirt poor, and Yuanen Zhentian, a demigod, was nothing but a fraud. Never mind anything else—if she had a set of Four-Word Battle Armor, she could beat him senseless.
She didn't even take a demigod seriously, let alone a mere cripple like Le Lingzhao.
Le Lingzhao had shown no respect, cursed a dignified Sea God Pavilion Elder, and even dared to challenge her. She was practically begging to die.
Cai Yue'er was incandescent with rage, the murderous look in her eyes intensifying as she increased her Soul Power output without hesitation.
High in the sky, the silver Full Moon shone even brighter. Two more powerful beams of moonlight condensed within it, following the first attack as they shot toward Le Lingzhao and Leng Qingning.
The four beams intertwined, sealing off both women's escape routes and leaving them no room to retreat.
She had originally feared Leng Yaozhu and Yue Zhengen might settle the score afterward. She had planned only to teach Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao a lesson, enough to leave them recuperating for a couple of months.
But now, fury had clouded her mind. Only one thought remained: to cripple the two people who had dared to offend her.
Leng Yaozhu and Yue Zhengen were certainly troublesome, but she figured she could simply spend the rest of her life hiding in Shrek Academy. Sister Yue was invincible, and Qiangu Dieting hadn't dared utter a word after taking a slap. Even if the two came knocking, what could they do to her?
As for Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao, they didn't even factor into her calculations.
Six years ago, Leng Qingning had nearly fallen from the Titled Douluo realm. She was lucky if she could hold on to it now. Le Lingzhao was in somewhat better shape, but there was no way she still had the cultivation of a Super Douluo.
Cai Yue'er was brimming with confidence, the twisted look on her face growing more pronounced. She failed to notice the terrifying aura concealed within her opponent.
"This is bad!" Yun Ming's expression changed.
"Smack!"
A sharp slap rang out, tearing through the sky and reaching the ears of everyone present.
At the same time, Cai Yue'er and her newly unleashed sixth Soul Skill, "Moon Illuminates Heavenly Splendor," vanished from the spot along with Le Lingzhao.
It was Le Lingzhao's Soul Bone Skill—Space-Time Displacement!
Over the past six years, Le Lingzhao's Soul Power had soared, breaking through to Level 98. All her Soul Bones had also evolved to the hundred-thousand-year level, and the power of her Soul Bone Skills had surged.
Now, Space-Time Displacement could move targets up to five hundred kilometers, and could even take an already unleashed Soul Skill along with them.
Yun Ming possessed the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm. With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately picked up the Soul Power fluctuations of Le Lingzhao and Cai Yue'er five hundred kilometers away, and his figure shot into motion.
