Zhao Wuji glowered fiercely, his eyes wide as bells as he fixed Xiao Wujiu with a deadly stare.
"I'm talking to you! Let Mubai go right now!"
Xiao Wujiu impatiently picked at his ear with his pinky, looking relaxed and utterly unconcerned by Zhao Wuji's words.
"What are you yelling for? You're noisy as hell. What, the little one got beaten, so the old one came running? What are you so proud of? Do you think this is something glorious?"
His dismissive, mocking tone drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.
"Exactly. Shrek's people don't just have poor character—their teachers are freaks too!"
"You're right, their skin really is thick. If it were me, I'd be too ashamed to bully the weak in public."
"Hahahaha..."
Zhao Wuji was a crude man to begin with, and faced with such provocation, he could not find a retort for quite a while. "You sharp-tongued brat! I'm Zhao Wuji! Let's see if I don't teach you today what it means to show proper respect for the strong!"
The moment the name "Zhao Wuji" was spoken, the surroundings fell much quieter. Ye Zhiqiu, who had been watching the battle, inwardly cursed his bad luck.
As the director of Canghui Academy's external affairs department, he was no stranger to that name. It was a notorious one.
Though it had happened years ago, Zhao Wuji was still wanted by Spirit Hall. Back then, he had already been a Soul Emperor. Now, he was probably a Soul Saint!
This matter probably can't be settled peacefully today...
Xiao Wujiu put on a look of sudden realization, pointing at Zhao Wuji with an expression of surprise.
Zhao Wuji sneered. "Brat, now you know fear?"
"Oh... never heard of you."
Zhao Wuji: "?"
"What are you putting on airs for, old bastard? Don't you just want this guy? Then catch him!"
As he spoke, Battle Qi gathered around Xiao Wujiu's foot. His next words came in a low voice, like a demon's whisper.
"Brat, you dare?!"
But Xiao Wujiu had already kicked Dai Mubai squarely in the kidney, sending him hurtling viciously toward Zhao Wuji at tremendous speed!
He spun his spear in a flourish, carrying the Battle Qi spear on his shoulder as he calmly watched Zhao Wuji catch Dai Mubai. This Battle Qi insight was proving quite useful.
Zhao Wuji gently set down the unconscious Dai Mubai and had Oscar come over to take care of him. At that moment, raging fury burned in his heart, and killing intent appeared in his gaze toward Xiao Wujiu!
Shrek had always been the ones who ran roughshod over others. Yet today, they had been toyed with by a brat barely over ten years old. He could not help but feel the urge to kill!
"Brat, how dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? As the saying goes: when you have reason, don't spare anyone; when you don't, fight for three parts anyway."
"Your Shrek people were the ones who started this. Why wouldn't I dare?"
Xiao Wujiu was completely unmoved by Zhao Wuji's intimidation. Ye Zhiqiu, watching from nearby, was frantic with worry, but Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji was absolutely not someone he could contend with!
He dearly wanted to warn Xiao Wujiu, but an immense psychological pressure weighed on him. He did not dare speak for the entire academy, nor could he bear the risks that might follow.
"Reason?" Zhao Wuji's voice turned icy, a savage grin on his face. "Then today, I'll make you understand that in this world, only a big fist is the true hard reason!"
"Just so happens, I have one, and you don't!"
With that, he no longer concealed his aura. The pressure of a Soul Saint erupted with a boom!
Immediately after, he possessed the Vajra Bear, and seven Spirit Rings emerged around him.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
The seven Spirit Rings appeared in succession, shocking everyone present!
"A Soul Saint! He's actually a Soul Saint!"
"Sure enough, after all these years, the Immovable Bright King of old has already broken through to Soul Saint."
"Run, run! This muddy water is no longer something we can wade into."
The surrounding crowd immediately scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only some of the bolder onlookers and Canghui Academy's people nearby.
Zhao Wuji's aura became incomparably oppressive. The Shrek people smiled when they saw him like this. They knew Teacher Zhao was serious now. This brat was going to suffer terribly!
"Brat, state your name. I'll make sure to teach you a proper lesson on behalf of your elders!"
Zhao Wuji had not entirely lost his reason. After what had happened years ago, he knew well the importance of knowing one's opponent's background. There were too many witnesses today, and he did not dare gamble on who stood behind this brat.
Such a genius could never be an ordinary person without any background!
"Teach me a lesson on behalf of my elders? Are you worthy?"
Xiao Wujiu dispersed the Battle Qi spear. He showed no panic at Zhao Wuji's Soul Saint cultivation, appearing calm and composed.
"My name remains the same whether I walk or sit: Xiao Wujiu!"
"Enough nonsense. Come on."
"Xiao Wujiu, is it? I hope your mouth is still this hard later!"
Xiao Wujiu's reaction made Zhao Wuji hesitate, but he truly had never heard of any influential force with the surname Xiao.
Yet he had no choice but to act now. After activating the Immovable Bright King Body, he charged at Xiao Wujiu!
"I think you've gotten one thing wrong..."
A peculiar weapon appeared in Xiao Wujiu's hand: around four feet long, bladeless, with four ridges, a square cross-section, and grooves.
"You're the challenger!"
Under Zhao Wuji's puzzled gaze, Xiao Wujiu flicked the strange weapon and instantly vanished from the spot!
Everyone was startled. With such speed, Xiao Wujiu had not even used his full strength earlier?!
Tang San's Purple Demon Eye swept rapidly across the surroundings, but it could not keep up with Xiao Wujiu's movement speed!
"What incredible speed!"
Zhao Wuji's heart jolted, and his pupils abruptly contracted.
He immediately pushed his first spirit skill, the Immovable Bright King Body, to its limit. An invisible protective aura formed around him, gleaming with golden light. This was also where his title, "Immovable Bright King," came from!
Yet the unease in his heart did not lessen. Thus, his third and fifth Spirit Rings lit up at the same time.
"Gravity Enhancement, Gravity Squeeze!"
Xiao Wujiu flashed behind Zhao Wuji. The suddenly increased gravity that descended upon him was like a child's game.
He swung the weapon in his hand, formed from highly condensed Battle Qi. Then Zhao Wuji heard a series of hums from behind him!
"Take my Mace!"
That was right. The weapon Xiao Wujiu used was the Mace, the historically renowned bane of blades and swords, an artifact for breaking defenses!
Now that he could use Battle Qi Materialization, how could he merely form simple swords, spears, staffs, and halberds? The knowledge he had brought with him through transmigration was also an immensely valuable treasure!
Bang!
Before Zhao Wuji could turn around and defend himself, he was struck solidly across the back!
That single blow easily shattered his protective aura and slammed viciously into his back.
In an instant, flesh split and blood sprayed everywhere!
Zhao Wuji flew backward and crashed to the ground like a dead dog. Xiao Wujiu flashed over and stomped him hard beneath his foot!
The entire venue fell silent, staring blankly at the young man who looked so relaxed, a faint smile on his lips.
Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji, defeated!
