Beating Dai Mubai

Tang San struggled to climb up from the ground and hurriedly helped Grandmaster up to administer the antidote. Fortunately, the poison in his Sleeve Arrow was not potent, or Grandmaster would have been in grave danger.

After a while, Grandmaster slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Tang San before him, his face filled with resentment as he asked, "Little San, what about Chu Qing!"

Tang San hurriedly helped Grandmaster onto a chair and said, "He just left." With that, he inadvertently brushed the footprint off his chest.

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, Little San. I will definitely avenge this grudge!"

Tang San did not say much. His nature had always been dark, and he simply calculated silently how to take his revenge in the future.

Following this, the master and disciple walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing them walk away, the restaurant owner pinched his nose and threw the chair they had sat on outside; the stench on it had already seeped deep into the wood.

At this moment, Chu Qing had already brought Ning Rongrong to the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong frowned.

Before them sat a dilapidated wooden table, upon which rested a plaque inscribed with the five large characters: Shrek Academy.

Behind the table sat an old man in his sixties and a youth with an evil, charming appearance.

After paying the fee, she couldn't help but whisper a complaint to Chu Qing: "What a broken place."

This was a world of difference from the Shrek Academy in her mind. She had originally thought an academy that only recruited monsters would be grand, yet it was located in a village and was so dilapidated.

The old man before them frowned: "Dai Mubai."

The youth behind him immediately flashed forward and spoke coldly: "If you don't want to come, you don't have to. Don't insult our Shrek Academy! If you want to leave, you can leave right now!"

Chu Qing's expression turned cold: "What, we just said it was broken, we didn't say we weren't enrolling. Can't you even listen to the truth?!"

Dai Mubai also gave a cold laugh and said: "Want to stand up for your little girlfriend? I'll oblige!"

Ning Rongrong's face flushed red as she secretly glanced at Chu Qing, only to see him maintaining a calm expression, looking at his opponent earnestly.

Immediately, he released his martial soul, and a fierce white tiger suddenly manifested.

"White Tiger Possession!" His muscles surged instantly, his gaze became even more ferocious, and his long golden hair shifted into a black and white style.

"Dai Mubai! Martial soul White Tiger, thirty-sixth-level Soul Elder! Please enlighten me!"

Chu Qing's expression remained cold. Thirty-sixth level? Eight levels higher than himself. Very well, it was the perfect opportunity to test the results of his recent training.

Ning Rongrong said worriedly: "Brother, why don't we forget it? This Dai Mubai is a thirty-sixth-level Soul Elder, I'm worried..."

Chu Qing gently grabbed Rongrong's hand and said earnestly: "Don't worry, just watch."

Dai Mubai swept his gaze over them and said arrogantly: "What, scared? If you're scared, hurry up and apologize!"

Chu Qing did not speak; he also released his martial soul. Black flames emerged, swirling around one yellow and one purple soul ring.

The old man was shocked. This young boy couldn't even be ten years old, yet he already possessed two soul rings, and the second one was a thousand-year ring! One had to know that even a monster like Dai Mubai only had a five-hundred-year second soul ring!

"Chu Qing! Twenty-eighth-level Battle Soul Master! Martial soul Nihility Devouring Flame! Please enlighten me!"

Facing Dai Mubai, who was five levels higher than him, Chu Qing dared not be careless. He went fully armed from the start, a massive phantom of the Nihility Devouring Flame enveloping his body, the scorching heat causing the air to sizzle.

Dai Mubai's hands transformed into tiger claws, and accompanied by surging soul power, he charged at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was not flustered. The flames devoured the space, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his original spot.

Dai Mubai was stunned, searching carefully for the vanished Chu Qing. A power-attack type Soul Master—could he actually have an invisibility soul skill?

Almost in an instant, Chu Qing appeared behind Dai Mubai and immediately channeled his soul power: "First Soul Skill, Flame Devouring Heaven Burning!" Bursts of flame bombarded Dai Mubai's back.

Caught off guard, Dai Mubai took the hit head-on! His back was instantly left in tatters!

"Good lad, I underestimated you. To think you could break my White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

Indeed, Dai Mubai had quietly used his first soul skill from the very first moment; even when facing an opponent with lower strength, he dared not be careless.

"Then, it's my turn!" Dai Mubai licked his lips and gave an evil, charming smile: "White Tiger Light Splitting Wave!"

Accompanied by a tiger's roar, a beam of white light surged toward Chu Qing. As dust and smoke rose, Dai Mubai said: "It's not easy to have lasted this long. Not bad."

But when the smoke cleared, Chu Qing stood before him, unscathed. Following him was a red domain that shrouded Dai Mubai.

"What?!" Dai Mubai was shocked. He had never seen a child under ten years old who had mastered a domain.

A sense of sluggishness suddenly enveloped his entire body. Dai Mubai tried to channel his soul power to launch another attack, but found it incredibly difficult.

"Now, let's see how you dodge this!"

"Flame Split Wave!"

A terrifying surge of flames combined with the domain to create a sky-covering effect, instantly engulfing Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai didn't even have time to use his third soul skill before he was struck down by the flames, fainting on the spot!

Ning Rongrong could not hide her excitement, her eyes filled with stars as she looked at Chu Qing. She had already been secretly channeling her soul power, prepared to use the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to assist him if he couldn't handle the fight! She hadn't expected him to defeat Dai Mubai despite the level gap!

The old man gasped! One had to know that Dai Mubai was a rare genius! At only ten-something years old, he had already reached the thirty-sixth level. He never expected this boy before him, not even ten years old, to be able to defeat an opponent eight levels higher than himself!

What kind of terrifying talent was this! Recruit! He must recruit him!

He immediately squeezed out a smiling face and said: "I apologize to you on behalf of Shrek. Don't look at our academy's environment as slightly poor; our teaching strength is recognized as the best..."

Chu Qing let out a cold snort, ignoring him entirely, and instead turned his gaze toward Ning Rongrong with an inquiring look.

Seeing Chu Qing looking at her, Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look at the academy."

The old man glanced at Ning Rongrong without a word, though his intent to question her was clear. Ning Rongrong frowned, released her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and said, "What, is my strength not enough?"

The old man was astonished: "I never expected two geniuses like you to arrive today! Please, come in." He then took down the sign, signaling that the enrollment was finished.

Only then did Chu Qing nod, taking Ning Rongrong by the hand and walking into Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai slowly regained consciousness, sighing, "Truly, there is always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky. I must work even harder at my cultivation!"

With that, he also walked into Shrek Academy.
