During the Ferocious God Team's review, they concluded that the Shrek Seven Devils had only won through trickery.
As long as they cut them off and gave them no chance to eat their sausages,
this bunch of little brats would be lambs waiting for slaughter.
"Leave the money and those little beauties behind, then die for me!"
Tang San and the others immediately assumed fighting stances, their expressions grave.
The other side intended to murder them for their valuables!
The girls were especially consumed by rising fury!
Lin Chuan looked at this group of fools who did not know their own limits and sighed.
"They're really courting death."
Before his words had even faded, countless dark-blue vines erupted from the ground without warning!
They were Lin Chuan's Blue Silver King!
After gaining the five-thousand-year Thousand Wind Vine as its third Spirit Ring,
the Blue Silver King's speed had already exceeded everyone's expectations.
Before Meng Li could even raise his saber, he was tightly bound and hoisted into the air.
The remaining team members were also instantly wrapped up like dumplings.
"Let me go!"
Meng Li struggled in terror, only to discover that his Soul Power was firmly suppressed by the vines, leaving him unable to summon even a trace of it.
Moreover, flames that seemed capable of scorching the soul burned upon them.
They caused him unbearable agony.
He barely managed to activate Martial Soul Possession, but he seemed utterly unable to break free.
This was the power of the Golden Crow Flame!
The Shrek Seven Devils stared at the enemies who had been subdued in an instant, somewhat at a loss.
"Teacher, what do we do?" Oscar swallowed, stammering slightly.
Although they were Spirit Masters, they were still just a group of children. They had never truly killed anyone before.
Lin Chuan turned around, his back facing the Ferocious God Team, his voice as cold as ice.
"Of course, kill them."
"Those who kill will eventually be killed."
"Since they had murderous intent, they needed to be prepared to be killed."
"Do it."
Those two words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he was the first to act.
The Godly Zhuge Crossbow was loaded.
With several soft puffs,
two members of the Ferocious God Team died instantly.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and unleashed the White Tiger Intense Light Wave!
Ma Hongjun followed by releasing Phoenix Flame!
Moments later, the forest returned to deathly silence.
Looking at the corpses on the ground
and smelling the pungent stench of blood,
Ning Rongrong and Oscar turned pale and ran aside to retch.
Even Dai Mubai and Tang San looked unwell, their hearts pounding with lingering fear.
This was their first true act of killing.
Just then,
Yu Xiaogang, who had silently followed behind them all this time, stepped forward.
He looked at their pale faces and retching figures.
With his hands behind his back, a trace of arrogance and contempt appeared on his face.
"Can't handle even this?"
"Hmph, as expected, you're just a bunch of inexperienced children."
He seemed to have finally found something that let him look down on everyone.
As one of the Golden Iron Triangle, his sense of superiority naturally surged forth.
"Back when I roamed the Soul Master World, I saw scenes like this all the time."
"Remember, mercy toward your enemies is cruelty toward yourself."
"If you don't even have this much mental fortitude, how can you become strong?"
He spoke at length.
As if he had completely forgotten who had turned pale with fright in the stands just moments ago,
and who had firmly opposed this match.
Lin Chuan glanced at him but said nothing.
This Grandmaster really was the same as ever. He loved showing off whenever there was no danger.
But Lin Chuan could not be bothered to deal with him.
By the time they returned to the academy, the night was already deep.
Flender entered with an agonized expression, carrying several heavy packages.
Not only had he brought back that piece of Thousand-Year Whale Glue, he had also purchased several pieces that were a few hundred years old as extras.
His private stash had taken a severe hit because of it.
"Ahem, well..."
Flender placed the packages on the table.
He tried to maintain the headmaster's dignity, but the corners of his eyes still twitched painfully.
"I bought the goods. For these lousy chunks of glue, I even dipped into my retirement fund."
Lin Chuan sat in his chair.
Never one to pass up a good show, he took the lead in applauding and egging everyone on.
"Oh? What are you all standing around for?"
"Hurry up and thank our selfless Headmaster Flender, who treats money like dirt!"
"Thank you, Headmaster!"
The Shrek Seven Devils had long since become familiar with Lin Chuan.
They all grinned mischievously and shouted in unison.
Ma Hongjun's shout was especially thunderous.
Listening to their flattery, Flender felt a little better.
But he still stubbornly protested.
"Cut it out!"
"I'm telling you, there won't be a next time!"
"If there's another deal where I have to pay out of pocket, I won't do it even if you beat me to death."
In truth, he knew that he had genuinely been frightened this time.
When he learned that the Ferocious God Team had tried to ambush and kill them while he was away, his back had been drenched in cold sweat.
That meant the other side had investigated the Shrek Seven Devils long ago and deliberately struck while he was absent.
If Lin Chuan had not been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The money had been well spent, but it truly hurt.
Everyone gathered around, curiously examining the items inside the packages.
They were yellowish-brown, gelatinous substances that gave off a strange fishy odor.
"What is this?" Xiao Wu asked, pinching her nose. "It smells awful."
Dai Mubai leaned closer for a look, and his expression instantly turned strange as the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.
He was far too familiar with this stuff.
As Young Master Dai, who frequented the company of beauties, he had used plenty of this stuff in the past to spice things up.
Though the ones he used had only been a few decades old.
"Isn't this that..."
Ma Hongjun's eyes suddenly lit up.
The fat man nudged Dai Mubai and was just about to say something lewd.
Dai Mubai reacted swiftly, clamping a hand over his mouth and glaring at him fiercely.
"Mmph, mmph, mmph—"
Ma Hongjun struggled desperately for help.
When Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing saw the two men's reactions,
they immediately understood.
Their cheeks flushed faintly as they backed away two steps in disgust.
"Teacher Lin Chuan!"
Ning Rongrong could not help asking,
"Why did you have the headmaster buy this... this indecent stuff?"
Tang San frowned. Why would his big brother buy something improper?
There had to be another use for it!
Sure enough, the next moment,
Lin Chuan smiled mysteriously.
"What are you thinking? Its aphrodisiac effect is just an insignificant side effect."
"This is called Whale Rubber, a priceless treasure for improving one's physique."
"As long as it is properly processed, it can greatly strengthen your bodies and the resilience of your meridians."
"It will raise the age limit of the Spirit Rings you absorb next by at least a few hundred years!"
"Raise the limit for absorbing Spirit Rings?!"
At once, everyone's expressions changed, and their earlier disgust was thrown beyond the clouds.
Lin Chuan pointed at the Whale Rubber.
"This was bought with the Gold Soul Coins you earned by risking your lives in the Soul Fighting Arena. You get what you pay for."
Ning Rongrong pouted. "I thought the headmaster had pocketed all the Gold Soul Coins."
"Nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Flender retorted righteously, while guiltily glancing at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan gave Flender a faintly amused look but did not expose the profiteer's private stash.
After all, a Soul Sage's daily cultivation expenses were enormous.
Flender had indeed bled money this time, so there was no harm in letting him earn a little compensation for his trouble.
"Alright, step back."
Lin Chuan stood and picked up the Whale Rubber.
"No!"
A stiff voice suddenly cut in.
Yu Xiaogang approached with a stern face.
