Shrek Academy's Questionable Conduct, the Path to Death Emerges

Flender's heart sank.

What is this boy's identity?

Despite the immense pressure exerted by the full power of Soul Sage of over seventy levels, he remained completely still and composed throughout.

He noticed this when he released his oppressive aura.

No one in the Imperial Fighting Team could withstand it.

Only this boy seemed to be standing in a gentle breeze.

This is something that an ordinary student could never do.

Moreover, Ye Qing's words reminded him.

Dugu Yan, whose surname is Dugu.

Her grandfather was the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

Thinking of this, Flender's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The weight of those words, "Some people are not to be trifled with," was Qian Jun in Flender's mind at that moment.

He, a Soul Sage at level 70-something, unleashed his power on the granddaughter of Titled Douluo, bullying the weak.

If Dugu Bo found out... Flender shuddered.

He knew Dugu Bo's temperament all too well.

That Poison Douluo was known for his fierce protectiveness and ruthless methods; he was famous throughout the Douluo Continent for his vindictiveness.

Anyone who crosses him will suffer a terrible fate.

That's Titled Douluo!

What am I, a Soul Sage, compared to him?

They're not even qualified to carry someone's shoes.

Large beads of cold sweat appeared on Flender's forehead.

When he met Ye Qing's calm eyes again, Flender felt a pressure that went deep into his bones.

Flender took a deep breath.

The Soul Sage's aura receded rapidly, like the tide going out.

The terrifying sense of oppression that permeated the arena suddenly dissipated.

Then, he did something that left everyone in the room speechless.

He turned to Dugu Yan, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and bent deeply at the waist.

"Miss Dugu, I lost my composure just now."

Flender lowered his voice and lowered his posture even further.

"I acted out of momentary anxiety and concern for the students' safety. Please forgive me, young lady."

He straightened up and said sincerely, "I beg you, young lady, to cure my students of the poison. Flender would be eternally grateful."

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Who would have thought that a dignified academy dean at the Soul Sage level would be persuaded by a mere youth to back down and even apologize?

Dugu Yan snorted coldly.

She glanced at Ye Qing.

It seemed like they were asking him what to do.

Ye Qing nodded almost imperceptibly.

Dugu Yan then withdrew her gaze.

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

After saying those words to Flender, she walked towards the Shrek Team members who were lying on the ground.

Dugu Yan cured the Shrek members of the poison one by one.

The first person to be detoxified was Zhu Zhuqing.

The moment the Jade Phosphor Poison was drawn out of Zhu Zhuqing's body, her pale face quickly regained its color.

The first thing Zhu Zhuqing did after standing up was to sincerely say to Dugu Yan, "Thank you."

There were no unnecessary formalities, no awkward hesitations.

A loss is a loss; being less skilled is being less skilled.

If someone saves you, you should say thank you.

Dugu Yan glanced at her.

Hmm, this person is not bad.

She nodded slightly in response.

Then she moved on to the next person.

However, the style changed completely after Zhu Zhuqing.

After being detoxified Dai Mubai stood up, his face grim, and remained silent.

His tiger eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment and humiliation.

He clenched his fists, refusing to even glance at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan didn't bother to pay him any attention.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun are even less likely to be mentioned.

The two looked dejected; one stared at the ground counting ants, while the other turned his face away to the horizon.

After Dugu Yan finished detoxifying them, they didn't utter a single word.

After the auxiliary Soul Master Li Wen finished curing the poison, he suddenly stood up and left without looking back.

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes behind her back.

The quality of the students at the Shrek Academy is truly worrying.

Xiao Wu, clutching her injured ribs, was helped to stand to the side, biting her lower lip and remaining silent.

When she was being detoxified, she didn't even glance at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan didn't care.

She no longer expected these people to say anything nice.

The last one is Tang San.

Dugu Yan walked up to Tang San and drew out the Jade Phosphor Poison from his body.

The bluish-black poisonous markings slowly faded, and his complexion gradually returned to normal from ashen.

Tang San slowly stood up, without saying thank you.

His gaze first fell on Xiao Wu, who was being supported by someone not far away, and his pupils contracted slightly.

When he looked at Dugu Yan again, there was no gratitude in his eyes.

What surged within was intense anger and hatred.

Xiao Wu was injured.

But in Tang San's eyes, this wasn't a competition, but a feud.

Those who dare to harm Xiao Wu deserve to die!

Dugu Yan sensed the hatred in that gaze, raised an eyebrow, and coldly glared back. "What are you looking at?"

"..."

Tang San remained silent.

He chose to suppress his anger, withdrew his gaze, and turned to walk towards Xiao Wu.

Ye Qing witnessed all of this.

He clearly caught the look in Tang San's eyes the moment he turned around.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

interesting.

Tang San is extremely protective of his own people.

He'll never forgive anyone who hurts someone he cares about.

I knew from reading novels in my previous life that this young master of the Tang Sect was, to put it nicely, loyal and righteous, but to put it bluntly, vindictive.

He definitely remembered this debt from today.

Ye Qing remained silent.

But a barely perceptible chill flickered deep within those eyes.

I'll write it down then.

Ye Qing was never afraid of others keeping track of his accounts.

After being cured of their poison, the Shrek team left the arena in silence.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang escorted the students out of the room through the passageway, one on each side.

No one looked back.

Flender's back looked heavier than ever before.

His shoulders were slightly hunched, and his steps were slow and hesitant.

This member of the once-spirited Golden Iron Triangle at the Shrek Academy now looks ten years older.

The iron gate at the entrance of the passage slowly closed, blocking the last glimpse of the Shrek Team.

The cheers from the stadium erupted again, even more intensely than before.

"Emperor Team! Emperor Team! Emperor Team!!"

The entire audience shouted in unison, creating a deafening roar.

In the center of the arena, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team gathered around Ye Qing.

Yu Feng was the first to rush over, grinning and throwing his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder, practically clinging to him. "Brother Ye, we won! We won! We won!!!"

"Get off me first," Ye Qing said, giving him a disdainful shove.

Yu Feng stubbornly refused to let go. "Brother Ye! We won the Soul Fighting Tournament this time, is there any reward?"

Ye Qing looked around and saw that the excited Osler and the others were also interested.

Ye Qing sighed, feigning helplessness, and spread his hands.

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Yay!"

Yu Feng jumped up excitedly. "Long live Brother Ye!"

"What to eat? What to eat?" Shi Mo rubbed his hands together.

"We need to eat something good! A big pork knuckle!" Shi Mo added.

"All you ever think about is eating pork knuckle." Shi Mo gave him a disdainful look.

Aren't you going to eat?

"... I didn't say I wouldn't eat it."

Ye Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

The tense atmosphere of the match just moments ago has now transformed into the exuberant celebration of victory by the young players.

A quiet corner high up in the stands.

Yu Tianheng stared grimly at the cheering members of the Imperial Fighting Team on the stage.

His fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, his knuckles cracking.

These cheers should have been theirs.

He finally got up without a word, turned around, and left.

Yu Tianxin, who was standing next to him, glanced at him.

She sighed softly and followed in silence.

VIP private room.

The noise from the stadium came through a pane of glass, becoming blurry and distant.

Ning Fengzhi stared at it for a long time before putting down his teacup.

"Uncle Jian, what do you think of that Ye Qing...?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin pondered for a moment, his gaze becoming serious.

He recalled the scene of Ye Qing leaving the stage just now.

The young man walked into the arena unhurriedly. Under the full pressure of Flender's level 70+ Soul Sage, he remained motionless and chatted with ease.

Then, with just a few words, he forced the other party to back down and apologize.

That composure, poise, and effortless grace were truly remarkable.

"This boy is no ordinary person," Chen Xin said slowly.

"I just sensed his Soul Power carefully; it's around level fifty, but..."

"But?" Ning Fengzhi up his teacup.

"But I have a feeling that it's more than that."

Chen Xin's brows furrowed even more.

"That feeling was very strange."

"His Soul Power fluctuations are clearly only around level fifty, but I still feel like I can't see them clearly."

Even Titled Douluo, with his incredibly sharp senses, couldn't see through this young man.

Ning Fengzhi was quite surprised.

"To be able to face Soul Sage without flinching, this child is truly extraordinary."

He slowly stood up and walked to the window.

Ning Fengzhi at the figure surrounded by his teammates in the center, his eyes filled with longing.

"I'm increasingly curious about how far the Imperial Fighting Team can ultimately go under his leadership?"
