The next morning, the three of them got up early and headed towards Nuoding City.

In the afternoon, at the gates of Nuoding City.

"I'll only see you off this far," Flender said emotionally, looking at the two youngsters.

"Principal, are you leaving now? Aren't you going to say goodbye to Grandmaster?" Du Hao asked.

"No, we'll meet again in the future."

If he were to meet Yu Xiaogang again, it would probably delay him for a long time, so he decided not to.

There were still a group of hungry students in his own school. He couldn't just abandon them.

They would definitely meet again in the future.

After all, Yu Xiaogang's disciples and these two little monsters would eventually go to Shrek Academy. His good friend wouldn't go anywhere else, right?

After a few words with Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing, Flender spread his wings and flew into the sky.

"You must come to my academy later..." His voice gradually faded, and Flender's figure disappeared from the sky.

Lowering his waving hand, Du Hao turned to Zhu Zhuqing. "Let's go. We should go back and share the good news with Xiao Wu."

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent, as if she hadn't been holding Du Hao's hand while sleeping last night.

Returning to the dormitory, the first thing they saw was a pink figure lying on his bed, gnawing on a carrot.

"Xiao Wu, you're eating carrots on my bed again," Du Hao said, grabbing her by the scruff of her neck.

"Hehe, I was wrong, but I'll do it again..." She stuck out her tongue, showing an attitude of "I'm sorry, but I won't change."

"You..."

Seeing that Du Hao was about to say more, Xiao Wu took the opportunity to break free from his grasp and darted behind Zhu Zhuqing.

Then, she poked her rabbit head out and stuck out her tongue. "Nyah nyah, Xiao Wu is the strongest."

"Alright, stop fooling around," Zhu Zhuqing said, gently tapping the rabbit head under her armpit as she felt the two little hands fiddling around her waist.

"Okay~" Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing, her only shield, had spoken, Xiao Wu could only admit defeat.

She had been too focused on escaping and almost forgot that Zhu Zhuqing was this scoundrel's inside informant.

She had been careless...

"Alright, don't pout your little rabbit lips," Du Hao said, pulling out an Emerald Garlic and stuffing it into Xiao Wu's mouth.

"Mmm! So sweet!"

Xiao Wu, who had been about to complain, immediately quieted down, her eyes sparkling as she gnawed on the Green Onion in her mouth.

It had none of the usual pungent taste of green onions, only a crisp refreshing sensation and a clean flavor! It was even more delicious than the green onions she had given him before!

While they were feeding the little rabbit in the room, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house!

Then, Tang San rushed in, leaning on the doorframe with one hand, and said to everyone in the room, panting.

"It's bad, Hao Ge!"

"Nuoding City is in chaos! All the soul masters we've beaten, from the first ring onwards, have revolted!" Tang San said, his eyes filled with unconcealed fear.

"What's going on? Slow down, don't rush," Du Hao said, stepping forward to support Tang San's arm, urging him not to panic.

After a moment, Tang San swallowed.

He looked at Du Hao with panic in his eyes, his mouth trembling as he said, "Today, all the soul masters in Nuoding City whom we've beaten, from the first ring onwards, have started a commotion!"

This shouldn't be happening. Weren't those people hypnotized by his Hypnosis Phone? And there was nothing wrong with the hypnotic commands he had given them, right?

At most, it would have improved their moral standards. How could it have escalated to this point?

"Do you know the specific situation?" Du Hao asked, puzzled.

He had to understand the cause. If there were unexpected fluctuations, it would be terrible!

After all, this incident didn't happen in the original story. It was possible that the butterfly effect had struck again.

Tang San, who was sitting on the bed and taking a sip of water, finally caught his breath.

"I actually know the reason for this!" he said, his eyes recalling a scene from earlier.

"Just now, I was still borrowing a furnace at the blacksmith shop to forge iron..."

Tang San, who was forging iron, suddenly heard a commotion outside the blacksmith shop.

The noise was much louder than the usual street clamor! He could even hear the uproar inside the blacksmith shop!

"It's an honor for me to fancy your daughter. Don't be ungrateful!"

Hearing this sentence, Tang San, who was forging iron, was instantly piqued with curiosity.

He stopped working on the fine iron in his hands and prepared to walk outside to see what was happening.

Over the years, while spending time with Du Hao, Tang San had developed a good habit of liking to peek at lively scenes whenever he had nothing else to do, or in short, he liked to watch gossip.

From the trivial scuffles of village children to the shrewish brawls of village women, there was even one instance that Tang San had missed.

This time was no exception.

By the time Tang San arrived at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, the other smiths from the shop had already gathered there, as they happened to have nothing to do at the moment.

Their gazes were all fixed on a spot not far down the street.

In that direction, a middle-aged man draped in noble attire was fiercely kicking a young vegetable vendor dressed in gray who lay on the ground.

"You mud-legged peasant, you think you're something special, don't you?" As he spoke, he delivered another vicious kick to the youth in gray below him.

He said in a fierce tone, "You actually dared to resist? Do you really not know how to write the word 'death'?"

Beside them, a young girl in white was kneeling on the ground, clutching his other leg. "My lord, my lord, please, stop hitting him! Don't hit my father anymore, I'm willing to go with you!"

The trembling in her voice and the despair in her tone could not be hidden.

The onlookers sighed and clicked their tongues at this scene, yet not a single person dared to step forward to intervene.

After all, everyone around knew that arrogant noble youth; he was a noble of Nuoding City, and bullying the weak and oppressing women was his usual routine.

However, in the past, he had always been discreet, never openly seizing a young woman in broad daylight like this.

Seemingly sensing the gazes of the surrounding crowd, the youth stepped on the man's body with one foot while tilting his head to look at the people around him.

With a face full of arrogance, he declared, "A bunch of mud-legged peasants who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! I, your young master, have become a one-ring Spirit Master today. From now on, I can do whatever I want!"

In the past, before he became a Spirit Master, he had to be discreet when doing these things.

But now that he had successfully absorbed a ten-year spirit ring and become a Spirit Master, if he still had to be discreet, wouldn't his status as a Spirit Master be for nothing?

He figured that even if the branch hall master of the Spirit Hall came, he would only offer a few words of reprimand; how could he possibly offend a noble Spirit Master like him for the sake of a bunch of mud-legged peasants?

Faced with the noble youth's arrogant declaration, the surrounding crowd remained silent.

This world was just like this: the weak are prey to the strong, an iron law that had remained unchanged since ancient times.

"Tch, a bunch of cowards." Just as the youth felt bored, he reached down to grab the girl on the ground.

"Don't... don't grab my daughter!" The man being stepped on suddenly found strength from somewhere and grabbed the noble youth's leg with a violent tug.

"Do you have a choice?" The noble youth sneered in disdain, looking down at him with a playful expression. "Just watch obediently..."

Before the noble youth could continue, a chorus of angry shouts suddenly erupted from the crowd!

"You dog! He has a choice!!!"
