Qin Feng VS Shrek!

At this moment, under the shade of the trees on the training ground.

Tang San sat on a stone bench, wiping the hidden weapons in his hands.

Xiao Wu sat to the side, swinging her legs, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the other side, listening to Yu Xiaogang's tactical arrangements for tonight's Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

"Mubai? Hongjun?"

Yu Xiaogang was the first to look up. Seeing the miserable state of the two, his brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

Tang San also hurriedly stood up, rushing over in a few strides to catch the swaying Dai Mubai.

"Boss Dai, Fatty, how did you get hurt like this?"

Tang San reached out and placed his fingers on Dai Mubai's pulse, his expression instantly turning grim.

Most of the bones in Dai Mubai's arms were shattered, and his Soul Power was severely depleted.

As for Ma Hongjun, who lay on the ground, his sternum was collapsed, and there was no color in his face.

"Third Brother... you, you must stand up for us!"

Ma Hongjun lay on the grass, gasping for air, his voice filled with resentment.

"It was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan! And that guy named Qin Feng!"

Oscar stood to the side, wiping away tears, and hurriedly chimed in.

"San, those two were truly overbearing."

"We were walking down the street perfectly fine when they suddenly rushed out to provoke us."

"That Dugu Yan didn't say a word before using poison to hurt Fatty, and she even crushed his sternum."

"Boss Dai stepped forward to reason with them, but that Qin Feng relied on his high level of strength and sent Boss Dai flying with a single palm strike."

Listening to Oscar's tearful complaint, Tang San's eyes darkened bit by bit.

His palm gripped the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist tightly, his tone low.

"Qin Feng, Dugu Yan..."

"Did they really say that?"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva.

"San, that guy doesn't put us Shrek in his eyes at all."

"He said that everyone who comes out of Shrek is a bunch of losers, not even worth as much as trash."

Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart.

"Those who touch my Shrek people must pay the price."

"Mubai, Fatty, go and rest first."

"Tonight at the Soul Arena, if he dares to step onto the stage, I will use the Dragon Whisker Needle to make him taste the agony of his flesh being shredded bit by bit."

Hearing the words "Dragon Whisker Needle," Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, trembled slightly.

She pulled on the corner of Tang San's shirt, unable to bear it.

"Third Brother, isn't using the Dragon Whisker Needle too cruel?"

"Once that thing pierces the flesh, it can't be removed at all; it will make a person suffer endlessly."

"Besides, we haven't even figured out the cause of the incident yet."

Ning Rongrong also walked forward with some suspicion, looking at the shifty-eyed Dai Mubai.

"That's right, Dai Mubai, everyone knows what kind of behavior you guys usually have."

"In Heaven Dou City, why would people attack you for no reason?"

Faced with Ning Rongrong's question, Ma Hongjun felt a sudden pang of guilt and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Rongrong, why don't you believe your own people?"

"We've been beaten like this, and you're still speaking up for outsiders!"

Tang San waved his hand, cutting off Ning Rongrong's questioning.

"Rongrong, regardless of the cause, that Qin Feng's methods were so vicious that he clearly wanted their lives."

"Mubai is my brother; since the other party is heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Zhu Zhuqing stood at the back of the crowd, her expression as cold as if she were watching a farce.

She did not speak, merely retreating silently to the corner of the training ground.

Because the Chat Group in her mind had suddenly lit up.

Zhu Zhuqing sank her consciousness into the group, and lines of text popped up.

[Poison Fairy]: "I'm so furious today! I ran into two disgusting hooligans on the street. They actually dared to harass me in broad daylight; it's absolutely disgusting!"

[Little Witch]: "Huh? There are people that bold in Heaven Dou City? Who is it?"

[Bunny Eats Radish]: "Exactly, tell us who it is so we can avoid them too!"

[Poison Fairy]: "Who else could it be? They claim to be from some Shrek Academy. A red-haired fatty, fat as a dead pig, actually told this lady to kneel on the ground and lick his shoes. It's absolutely disgusting!"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart gave a violent jolt.

Red-haired fatty, harassment.

Isn't this Ma Hongjun?

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "Is that red-haired one full of foul language? Is there a guy with golden hair and double pupils next to him?"

[Poison Fairy]: "That's right! How did you know, sister? Have you been disgusted by them too?"

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "...They are indeed from Shrek. The red-haired fatty is named Ma Hongjun, and the golden-haired one is Dai Mubai. When they were in Suotuo City, they frequented brothels. They aren't good people."

[Poison Fairy]: "So it was those two sleazebags! I was so angry at the time that I kicked that dead fatty and broke his bones. Then that golden-haired double-pupil freak tried to make a move on my Young Master, saying he wanted to teach us the rules."

[Poison Fairy]: "In the end, my Young Master slapped him away like a fly. Most of his bones were broken, and he was buried in a pile of rubble. In the end, a sausage-maker had to dig them out like dead dogs. They truly deserved it!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had been lurking, also saw the messages.

[Little Witch]: "My god! These two are too shameless! They were clearly the ones harassing a girl on the street, and after being taught a lesson by that young master, they came back and played the victim, claiming the other party was being unreasonable!"

[Bunny Eats Radish]: "Wuwu, is that true? They just came back and told us that the other party was bullying them and beat them into serious injuries. Tang San, who is on our team, even said he would use vicious hidden weapons to cripple that young master at the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena tonight."

[Pope]: "Shrek? As expected, a bunch of riffraff who can't be brought into polite society. If the beam is not straight, the rafters will be crooked; a teacher who can raise such disciples must be a selfish and hypocritical villain."

[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "Wait... those two brats in my academy actually did something like this?! I'm so angry I could die! Those two bastards, when I get back tonight, I'll skin them alive!"

[Poison Fairy]: "Hehe, so that Tang San wants to use hidden weapons? Let him come. My Young Master happens to be going to the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena tonight. We'll see who cripples whom!"

Zhu Zhuqing silently exited the Chat Group.

Her eyes were filled with disdain and disgust.

Meanwhile, on the playground, Ning Rongrong could no longer hold back.

She walked toward Ma Hongjun with heavy, deliberate steps and sneered.

"Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, you two really put on quite a performance."

Tang San frowned as he looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, what is this attitude?"

"Mubai and Fatty are so severely injured, yet not only do you refuse to help, you're here making sarcastic remarks?"

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and scoffed.

"Sarcastic remarks?"

"Ma Hongjun, let me ask you, why did that Dugu Yan target you specifically?"

"Demanding that the Poison Fairy kneel on the ground to lick your shoes—is that what you call 'walking normally'?"

Ma Hongjun's wailing stopped abruptly, and the blood drained from his fat face in an instant.

"I... I didn't... Rongrong, don't talk nonsense..."

Dai Mubai grew anxious as well; he forced himself to sit up and glared at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, you weren't even there. How can you believe the rumors of outsiders to humiliate us?"

"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place."

Zhu Zhuqing slowly stepped out from the shade of the trees, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Dai Mubai, how much longer are you going to keep up this act?"

"Ma Hongjun harassed a woman on the street, and not only did you not stop him, you aided him in his evil deeds."

"Being slapped away by that young master was nothing more than you reaping what you sowed."

"Now that you've returned, you weave lies to deceive everyone and have San stand up for you. Your skin is thicker than these city walls, isn't it?"

Xiao Wu also looked at Tang San with some disappointment.

"San-ge... so it turns out they were the ones who harassed her first."

"If that's the case, it was only right for that person to teach them a lesson. We can't help them seek revenge; that would be too unreasonable."

With their lies exposed in public, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were embarrassed to the extreme, followed by a wave of endless shame and anger.

"Zhu Zhuqing! Are you even my fiancée or not?!"

Dai Mubai clutched his broken arm and shrieked hysterically.

"You spend all day speaking for outsiders! That Dugu Yan is nothing but a notorious poison woman; Fatty harassing her was doing her a favor!"

"What are you acting so high and mighty for now?!"

"You make me sick."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai's manic state, her disgust plain to see.

"From today on, you and I have nothing more to do with each other."

Seeing the situation develop to this point, Tang San's expression shifted only slightly before returning to a cold, hard mask.

He stood up, blocked Dai Mubai, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

"Enough."

Tang San's voice sounded low.

"Even if Mubai and Fatty were in the wrong first, the other side went far too far."

"Mubai's arm bones are shattered, and Hongjun's sternum is collapsed. This is clearly an attempt to cripple them."

"Since we are a team, I absolutely cannot sit idly by while my companions are humiliated."

Ning Rongrong laughed out of sheer anger.

"Tang San, you really are a scoundrel who cannot distinguish right from wrong!"

"It was clearly their fault, yet you still insist on twisting the truth!"

Yu Xiaogang also stepped forward at this moment, his hands behind his back, his expression composed.

"Xiao San is right."

"Shrek prospers together and suffers together. Regardless of the cause, since the other side has injured our people, we must win it back in the arena."

"As for the punishment for Mubai and Hongjun, I will handle it according to academy rules after tonight's Grand Spirit Fighting Arena matches. But outsiders have no right to do it for us."

Listening to the high-sounding words of this master and disciple, the last trace of warmth in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes vanished.

She didn't even have the desire to say another word; she turned around and walked decisively toward the school gate.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you stand right there!"

Dai Mubai roared frantically from behind, his heterochromatic eyes bloodshot.

However, Zhu Zhuqing did not even look back.

Dai Mubai stared at Zhu Zhuqing's departing back, gnashing his teeth in secret hatred.

"Stinking bitch, do you think that Qin Feng can protect you?"

"Once Xiao San uses the Dragon Whisker Needle to cripple him in the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena tonight, I will make you kneel on the ground and torment you for the rest of your life!"

After leaving the academy, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was complex along the way.

She had witnessed Tang San's hidden weapons; those silent yet lethal methods were truly impossible to guard against.

More importantly, the hidden weapon called the "Dragon Whisker Needle" was cruel, and she did not want Qin Feng to be harmed.

Following the previous streets, Zhu Zhuqing inquired along the way and finally found Qin Feng's whereabouts in a quiet teahouse under Dugu Bo's name.

She pushed open the door to the private room on the top floor.

The room was scented with faint sandalwood. Hu Liena and Dugu Yan seemed to have gone out, leaving only Qin Feng sitting on a grand armchair, holding a teacup and leisurely watching the street scene outside.

Hearing the movement, Qin Feng turned his head, looked at the slightly panting Zhu Zhuqing, and smiled slightly.

"In such a rush to find me, is something the matter?"

Zhu Zhuqing walked quickly to Qin Feng, her tone serious.

"Qin Feng, you must be careful at the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena tonight. Tang San intends to deal with you."

Qin Feng looked at her eyes, which were full of worry, and pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Sit down and talk."

Zhu Zhuqing did not sit, but continued urgently.

"Tang San has a terrifying hidden weapon called the Dragon Whisker Needle."

"It is a specially crafted golden thread. Once it pierces the human body, it instantly curls up, tightly binding the muscles and bones together. It cannot be removed without immense external force, and it causes the victim to suffer endless torment."

"He said it himself on the playground just now that he intends to use this move to cripple you in tonight's life-or-death match."

Qin Feng looked at Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, which was flushed with nervousness, and slowly stood up.

He was tall and slender, and as he stood, he was suddenly half a head taller than Zhu Zhuqing.

He took a step forward, closing in on her.

Feeling the oncoming fragrance and pressure, Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly.

Qin Feng reached out his right hand, his warm fingertips gently lifting Zhu Zhuqing's delicate chin, forcing her flustered, beautiful eyes to meet his own.

"Are you... worried about me?"

Treated so gently by Qin Feng, Zhu Zhuqing felt her cheeks burn as if they were on fire, the blush spreading all the way to her earlobes.

She turned her head away in a panic, her voice faint.

"I... I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"Besides, this matter was Dai Mubai and the others' fault to begin with, yet Tang San still wants to use such methods..."

Qin Feng looked at her shy appearance, withdrew his hand, and laughed nonchalantly.

"Don't worry."

"In the face of absolute strength, so-called hidden weapons are nothing more than children's toys."

"Tonight, I will let them know what true despair is."

Looking at Qin Feng's confident and composed expression, Zhu Zhuqing's heart, which had been somewhat anxious and restless, miraculously calmed down.

The two chatted for a few more moments in the quiet private room, and amidst their words, a strange, ambiguous sentiment quietly sprouted.

Night fell, and the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was brilliantly illuminated, bustling with noise and excitement.

As the largest entertainment venue in Heaven Dou City, it gathered countless nobles, soul masters, and commoners every single night.

The massive circular stands were packed to capacity, and the cacophony of cheers and shouts merged into a wave of sound that threatened to blow the very roof off the arena.
