Elegance Never Goes Out of Style

"Beibei, is Senior Mu reliable?"

Xu Sanshi looked at him, sneaking along behind Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong like a thief.

Yet once they left Shrek City, they could not make out anything at all. They only knew that both of them were in quite good spirits. After all, one could tell from the price alone that Golden Radiance was an exceptionally fine Soul Bone.

They had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so if one grew stronger, the other would grow stronger as well. Beibei glanced at him.

"If there's a chance to make a move, it can only be between Shrek City and the academy. What, afraid you'll lose your chance to flirt with girls?" Beibei shot him an annoyed look. Just as the two were about to start bickering, they spotted Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

They were running back. After all, Shrek Academy was farther away than Shrek City. The two widened their eyes. "Damn, Brother really called it."

"Senior Mu's fortune-telling is way too incredible. Even the divine beast Black Tortoise can tell fortunes, but those old monsters in the sect struggle to calculate where something got lost. Senior Mu isn't even a turtle!"

Xu Sanshi said in a daze. They saw Huo Yuhao abruptly grab Wang Dong and turn to run. At the same time, he swiftly strapped on the Soul Guidance Thruster. Propelled by dazzling white light, they suddenly accelerated and shot toward Shrek City's gates like white meteors. At the same time, within the pitch-black forest,

six ambushers swiftly emerged, Soul Rings lighting up around every one of them. There were actually five five-ringed Soul Kings and one six-ringed Soul Emperor. Three of them instantly took to the air, intending to intercept Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Quit yapping and get moving!" Beibei roared. Xu Sanshi froze. "Right, right, Nan... pfft, Little Yuhao, we're coming."

They knew that the quality of Huo Yuhao's Soul Guidance Thruster could not have been that high... It was already overheating and turning red. If he kept using it, it would probably explode. The three enemies in the air were rapidly closing in.

Beibei instantly raised his hand. A ball of red light shot from his palm, soaring into the sky before exploding with a boom a hundred meters above them. It turned into countless tiny golden-red motes that spread in every direction.

This was the Inner Court distress signal Mu Baobao had given them. Huo Yuhao was a little stunned... Though he was a core disciple, his teacher Fan Yu was the director of the Soul Guidance Department. The distress signal he had made was specifically for the Inner Court, and it was a special version that could be recognized instantly.

His importance surpassed that of ten Inner Court disciples, but he had not fired it.

The leader of the six ambushers, the six-ringed Soul Emperor, immediately went pale. He was baffled too. "Where did this Shrek Academy Inner Court distress signal come from?"

"We can't worry about that. Kill them quickly, then leave at once!" he shouted. If Shrek Academy sent even a single Inner Court student, they might not be able to handle it.

Those top-tier existences could crush them with ease. They absolutely could not waste any more time.

Among the three ambushers in the air, one immediately unleashed his fourth millennium Soul Skill.

Blue-purple light suddenly flashed from his wings. With a powerful flap, his speed surged, and he chased after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong like a meteor racing the moon. They too knew that if he caught up, a single attack would be enough to knock them from the sky. Despair was already rising in their hearts.

The gap in their strength was simply too great. One had two rings, the other three. No matter how gifted they were,

they could not possibly face five five-ringed Soul Kings and one six-ringed Soul Emperor at the same time. But at that very moment, they heard a familiar dragon's roar.

Dragon scales covered his body as Beibei unleashed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, borrowing force from a great tree.

The tree bent like a slingshot, launching him forward like an arrow. He charged toward the three ambushers like a Thunder Dragon as two Soul Rings flashed.

"Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunder Fury!"

That Soul Master was caught completely off guard and smashed down from the air. Then Beibei kicked the other two down as well. Xu Sanshi held up his turtle shield and boldly charged the Soul Emperor wielding a greatsword wreathed in flickering black flames.

Since they were rescuing people, things had to look a little more brutal. That way, they would have more leverage... That was what he thought.

The black flames on the Soul Emperor's blade suddenly flared fiercely, while black light shone from Xu Sanshi's turtle shield.

"Black Tortoise Shock!"

Four rings against six—if they had been Soul Masters of the same level, he would have been sent flying long ago... But the difference in strength was still there. Sword and shield collided with a thunderous crash.

"Black Tortoise of Profound Mystery, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon..."

"Fuck, did they deliberately set an ambush for us?"

The Soul Emperor leading the group cursed Dai Huabin's ancestors from top to bottom in his heart. He had even forgotten who was ambushing whom as the urge to retreat instantly arose.

Although the two students before him still did not seem capable of fighting them head-on, they were students of Shrek Academy, both with top-tier martial souls.

They definitely could not take them down quickly, and Shrek Academy was so close... He immediately made his decision and prepared to turn around and flee with his subordinates.

"Elegance never goes out of style!"

Suddenly, an outrageously pretentious voice rang out. A figure stood atop the tip of a towering tree.

As snowflakes drifted down, dazzling white light suddenly erupted in the dark night sky, instantly enveloping them all...

Cold. Utterly bone-chilling cold.

In just an instant, all six felt the terrifying effects brought by that extreme cold. The blood in their bodies froze solid, leaving them completely unable to move. Yet the chill seemed to be controlled with remarkable precision. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong merely turned pale, while the forest instantly became coated in hard ice.

It was like the winter solstice had arrived, bringing terrifyingly heavy snow. Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, and Beibei were all dumbfounded.

"What the hell is this? A six-ringed Soul Emperor changed the entire environment of this area? Beibei, your brother is way too awesome, isn't he?" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened. "I've decided. Senior Mu will be my brother from now on too."

"Pfft, I don't have a little brother like you."

"Bullshit, I'm older than you."

The two traded insults before they saw Mu Baobao stomp down with his right foot and descend from the treetop.

Just as he had said, elegance never went out of style. This display of pretentiousness was earth-shattering!

"Who has such nerve as to attack people from Shrek Academy?" A fierce, wild voice rang out as Mu Baobao landed.

Bathed in phoenix flames, Ma Xiaotao spread the phoenix wings behind her like a goddess of fire and looked down proudly upon the enemies... She actually carried the bold, valiant air of a female general with her blade drawn.

"Little Junior Brother, are you two all right?" Beibei asked as he looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had landed.

They saw terrifying killing intent in Beibei's eyes. Clearly, he had been truly enraged. "Eldest Senior Brother, luckily you arrived in time."

The six Soul Masters quickly broke free from the ice, especially the Soul Emperor burning with black flames.

But in order to resist the Ultimate Ice, they had consumed more than thirty percent of their Soul Power. Terror instantly surged through their hearts, and they wanted to flee again.

"Trying to run? If I let even one of you escape, I won't be Flame Mad Demon Ma Xiaotao!" Seeing that they were about to flee, Ma Xiaotao instantly exploded in fury. They had dared to intercept and kill Shrek Academy students near Shrek City.

She even felt that these Soul Masters had quite a bit of courage... As she spoke, the six Soul Rings around her shone brilliantly under the firelight. Her second and third Soul Rings lit up, and intense phoenix flames burst from her body like an erupting volcano.

With a fierce flap of her wings, she chased after the six enemies like a flaming meteor. Beibei and the other three stared wide-eyed at the sight. This senior sister was truly fierce... A woman of temperament indeed...

At the same level, she was taking on six alone?

"I suddenly admire my brother so much. Even though he's an Ultimate Ice Dragon, suppressing a Senior Sister Ma like this can't be easy either, right?" Beibei said, rubbing his forehead. The key was that she might become his sister-in-law in the future.

"Senior Mu is an Ultimate Ice Dragon?" Wang Dong's eyes widened. Xu Sanshi was not surprised since he already knew, while Huo Yuhao nodded. "When I enrolled, he met me, Senior Sister Jiang, and Senior Xu. But seeing him now, he's even stronger than I thought."

"Damn Tian Meng, did you pick the wrong person?" Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Empress grabbed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and repeatedly slapped him. "Not only is this person an Ultimate Ice Dragon, he also has Ultimate Spiritual power... Most importantly, I can sense two more powerful martial souls that haven't awakened yet."

"If you became his Soul Ring, he would have four martial souls... More importantly, I can feel that they are almost one entity, meaning he can use a three-martial-soul fusion skill. He even possesses divinity similar to Elder Yi, the Necromancy Saint Mage. How is someone like that not stronger than Yuhao?"

"Icey, I'm helpless too! This person appeared in my senses many times before, but I never had the chance to escape. But when it came to Yuhao... those vicious beasts seemed to lose their minds, and that was how I got out. We have no choice now. We can only do our best to nurture Little Yuhao."

"Damn you, you useless bug! Why didn't this guy come to the Far North Ice Plains? He was obviously waiting for you too!" the Ice Empress roared. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out, "With his strength, would he go there just to get eaten by you?"

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao, having unleashed two Soul Skills, moved so swiftly that piercing shrieks continuously rang out in her wake. Like an eighth-grade Soul Guidance Shell, she slammed into the six enemies. A massive pillar of flame ten meters high erupted alongside a clear phoenix cry.

Four figures were blasted away, and they used the momentum to flee. Such terrifying flames had actually killed two five-ringed Soul Masters of the same level... How terrifying was that? Ma Xiaotao only had six rings.

Moreover, phoenix flames coiled around the bodies of the remaining four enemies, refusing to go out for a long time.

The terrifying high-temperature flames scorched his body and Soul Power, leaving him unable to muster even the slightest will to resist. The enemy Soul Emperor's face was filled with horror. Was she even human? She was merely a Soul Emperor, yet she had instantly gained an absolute advantage against all six of them.

Daring not to delay, he turned and fled. He had always known Shrek Academy was strong, but he had never imagined it could be this formidable. A mere Soul Emperor-level student had rendered them powerless.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes had turned completely fiery red. Looking at the fleeing Soul Emperor, a deep sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.

As she flapped her wings and Beibei and Xu Sanshi prepared to intercept, Mu Baobao raised a hand to stop them and said in an extremely showy manner, "I said it already. Elegance never goes out of style."

"???" Everyone froze. Wang Dong laughed. "Senior Mu, are you about to start showing off again? Eldest Senior Brother, your brother is really interesting."

Mu Baobao was speechless. Tang Wutong, you're not behaving yourself either. But there was no time for him to retort.

His third Soul Ring lit up. Wang Dong nudged Huo Yuhao. "Why is it a millennium ring? There are still four five-ringed Soul Kings over there. Has Senior Mu gotten too carried away showing off and activated the wrong Soul Skill?"

"Hm?" Mu Baobao could only say that the little witch of the God Realm truly had a sharp tongue.

The next instant, she understood what experience meant. The forest, already blanketed in white,

plunged sharply in temperature. Though they were not caught in it, they felt as if they were standing in temperatures dozens of degrees below zero. Terrifying snowflakes blew through heaven and earth like razor-sharp blades.

A massive layer of ice spread out from before Mu Baobao, arriving in an instant at a speed even more terrifying than Ma Xiaotao's. Ma Xiaotao had already reached their side, and only felt warmer after igniting her phoenix flames. As for the four Soul Masters... they had frozen into ice sculptures. Mu Baobao spoke slowly in an extremely showy manner.

"Third Soul Skill, Freezing Wind."

"Um... Senior Mu, you don't need to emphasize that it's a millennium Soul Skill. It's more terrifying than a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill." They stammered. Even Beibei wore a face full of shock. Clearly, he had never seen Mu Baobao go all out.

"No wonder he can suppress Sister Xiaotao despite being lower-ranked than her. He's terrifying."

If this were a ten-thousand-year or even a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, how terrifying would that be...? It was practically a domain skill. Huo Yuhao felt that it was not much weaker than the Eternal Frozen Domain of his four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion torso Soul Bone.

That was the domain of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, a being comparable to a super divine beast, a four-hundred-thousand-year vicious beast, and the second of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North. And this was only a millennium skill?

Perhaps it was because he was only in his twenties in level, and could not fully unleash its power... No wonder Brother Sky Dream regretted choosing him. Moreover, that Ultimate Ice power had been controlled so it did not affect them. Otherwise, they would have dropped dead instantly.

At that moment, within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Empress was nearly beating the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to death.

"I said it already. Elegance never goes out of style."

Mu Baobao said with a smile. Ma Xiaotao truly could not stand it anymore. "Will you die if you don't show off?"

Beibei chuckled. "Sister Xiaotao, you and my brother spent half a year at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Why has your relationship only become closer?"

"I'll go check on them. Hopefully my brother didn't freeze them to death." Ma Xiaotao glared at him furiously, and he quickly ran off. This was also why Mu Baobao wanted to intervene. In the original story, Ma Xiaotao had blasted them into charred corpses so Dai Huabin would not be exposed.

Otherwise, the later plot could not proceed. He wanted to see what would happen if the plot changed. They were descendants of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, and their eldest brother Dai Yueheng was one of this generation's Shrek Seven Devils. When they went to intercept Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong,

they had erased everything that could possibly reveal their identities. They were not only afraid of bringing trouble to Dai Huabin, but also feared causing trouble for the Duke of White Tiger and implicating their own friends and family.

Even the Duke of White Tiger, who stood below only one person and above ten thousand in the Star Luo Empire, could not bear Shrek Academy's wrath. Without sufficient evidence, they could only forcibly suppress the matter.

Dai Mubai was extremely displeased with this, or rather, the entire faction of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils was the same. Dai Mubai ran off to the Heaven Dou Empire to slack off after losing to Dai Weisi, while Zhu Zhuqing nearly got herself killed searching for him. Ma Hongjun spent all day indulging in lust, and even after breaking up, he demanded one last round.

He even roasted someone else's little bird. Only Ning Rongrong and Oscar had no major flaws.

Tang Buddha Ancestor, Scum Yu, Tang Hao...

Needless to say.
