Flender Shamelessly Bullying Others, Meng Chen Kills with One Palm!

Just as Tang San was lost in thought, Yu Hairou struck his chest with her palm.

"Frost Soul Palm!"

"Boom!"

Tang San was instantly sent flying out of the Battle Soul Arena. Over on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's side, after Gu Qingbo and the others had beaten them up enough, they each kicked them out of the arena as well.

Only two members of the Shrek Team remained on the fighting stage.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Ning Rongrong had no choice but to raise her hand. "I surrender."

In the lounge beneath the fighting stage, the atmosphere within the Shrek Team was utterly gloomy.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were the most severely injured.

Oscar was not too bad off. After all, he had mainly been poisoned by Tang San, while the rest were superficial wounds. Recovering would be easy—he only needed to eat one of his own sausages.

However, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's frostbite was far more serious, and they could only recover slowly through rest.

The lounge door was pushed open.

Flender walked in.

His expression was ugly. Extremely ugly.

He had originally been quite wealthy. Shrek's battle against the Imperial Dou Team had made him a fortune.

This time, facing the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a team he had never even heard of, he had assumed the Shrek Seven Devils would easily win as well, so he had wagered his entire fortune.

And yet...

Even his retirement money was gone!

Flender took a deep breath and tried to make his expression look less ferocious.

His gaze swept around the lounge.

All seven children were in poor condition. Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, in particular, were a miserable sight.

That was the last straw that broke Flender's back.

I was already heartbroken over the money, and now you injured my students and gave me an excuse!

He turned and walked out of the lounge.

Suotuo City, Rose Restaurant.

Shui Bing'er and the others had reserved a private room. The seven of them sat around a large round table piled high with dishes.

In truth, defeating Shrek was not something particularly worth celebrating for Shui Bing'er and the others. It was just that Dai Mubai and his group were too disgusting, so they felt they ought to have a lavish meal to wash away the bad luck.

Yu Hairou raised her wine cup. "Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The seven cups clinked together with a crisp sound.

After taking a few drinks, Yu Hairou set down her cup and said smugly, "Haha, we beat that Dai Mubai until even his mother wouldn't recognize him. That Ma Hongjun, though, didn't change much. He was already a pighead to begin with. After getting beaten swollen, he just became even more of a pighead."

"Scum like that got off easy with just one beating."

Shui Yue'er was indignant.

Gu Qingbo set down her cup and said lazily, "Those three thugs are hardly worth mentioning. That Tang San, though... those strange weapons he threw out seemed quite powerful. He even had an External Soul Bone."

"Right." Xue Wu nodded. "Those weapons of his were poisoned too. If we had been hit, it would have been quite troublesome."

Yu Hairou said thankfully, "His External Soul Bone seemed to be highly poisonous as well. Good thing Bing'er had Repelling Ice Ring and Ice Ring Armor. And it even bounced back onto Oscar. Hahahaha—did you see Oscar's face? It was all sorts of colors!"

Shui Yue'er laughed so hard that she collapsed onto the table. "I saw it, I saw it! His lips were swollen like two sausages. If he didn't say anything, I would have thought he had three Sausage Martial Souls!"

Shen Liuyu said softly, "You're all so mean. But... it really was funny."

Qiu Ruoshui quietly continued eating.

Just as they were discussing it excitedly, the private room's door was suddenly pushed open.

"Bang!"

The door slammed into the wall with a deafening crash.

All seven turned to look at the doorway.

A middle-aged man stood there.

He had a long, shoehorn-shaped face and looked thoroughly sly.

It was Flender.

His expression was terrifyingly gloomy as his gaze swept across the seven girls' faces before finally settling on Shui Bing'er. "Good, very good. You really made me search hard for you!"

Shui Bing'er rose to her feet and politely asked, "May I ask who you are...?"

Flender's voice was low and icy. "Me? I am the headmaster of Shrek Academy! You used excessive force in my match and injured my students. How are you going to settle this debt?"

Shui Bing'er frowned slightly. "Senior, matches at the Great Soul Arena stop at the proper point. We did not use excessive force."

"Didn't use excessive force? Heh!"

Flender sneered as he stepped into the private room. "Five of my students suffered frostbite because of you. Another was injured by the hidden weapon you deflected back, and his face swelled up like a pig's head—this isn't excessive force?!"

Flender roared the final sentence. At the same time, the full pressure of a level seventy-eight Soul Saint burst forth without restraint!

It was a powerful pressure that Shui Bing'er and the other six had never faced before. Skywater Academy was not without experts of that level, but how could the good teachers of Skywater Academy ever bully the young with their seniority?

Clink, clink, clink, clink!

Under that immense pressure, Shui Bing'er and the others' Martial Souls involuntarily possessed them. They used all their Soul Power to resist, yet they still found it difficult to breathe!

Shui Bing'er had the highest level among the seven.

But against a level seventy-eight Soul Saint, the gap was still far too great.

Her face had already begun to pale. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her entire body trembled.

Worst of all, her knees were going weak.

But Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth.

Stand up. Don't kneel!

Xue Wu and the others were just as stubborn as Shui Bing'er. They struggled against the crushing pressure, refusing to kneel!

Even Shen Liuyu and Qiu Ruoshui, the frailest among them, supported themselves against their companions and the wall to remain standing.

Meng Chen saw all of this.

But he did not make a move.

Although Shui Bing'er and the others had gained considerable combat experience along the way and had honed Frost Soul Palm to a highly proficient level, things had gone too smoothly for them. They needed to face a powerful enemy directly.

Flender walked to the table and looked down at Shui Bing'er with cold eyes.

"Call out your teachers and elders. Pay up! If your teachers and elders aren't here..."

He paused, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.

"Then wait for death!"

The temperature in the private room instantly dropped to freezing!

Flender's expression turned fierce. His Martial Soul Possession activated, and seven Soul Rings emerged—two yellow, two purple, and three black. Then, one yellow Soul Ring lit up as an invisible force violently erupted and crashed toward Shui Bing'er and the others!

Shui Bing'er immediately stood in front, taking the attack head-on. She circulated the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art to resist it, while Xue Wu and the others circulated the Cold Purity Art. The seven girls' Soul Power temporarily linked as one and collided with the force of Flender's Soul Skill!

"Boom!"

The heavy tables and chairs were overturned, porcelain bowls shattered, and fragments shot out and embedded themselves in the surrounding walls. Dishes splattered across the floor with a series of crashes.

A flash of surprise crossed Flender's eyes. He had never expected that a Soul Ancestor and several Soul Elders could withstand his Soul Skill.

But... since they were such exceptionally gifted talents, it would be better to eliminate them early while their teachers and elders were not around!

It would also remove a powerful rival before the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition began!

Flender's gaze immediately turned vicious. A black Soul Ring began to glow. His next attack would surely be earth-shattering!

Xue Wu and the others turned pale, while Shui Bing'er bit her red lips tightly. They likely would not be able to withstand this strike.

Flender grinned cruelly. The thrill of controlling the lives and deaths of young geniuses made his face twist. Xue Wu and the others were filled with panic. Were they really going to be killed by such a creepy old man?

At that moment, a flawless yet illusory, transparent hand emerged from Shui Bing'er's chest and struck toward Flender.

The passage of time seemed to suddenly slow. Every movement of that hand was clear for all to see.

Alarm bells rang wildly in Flender's heart. He could clearly sense that this attack could destroy him!

"No, no, no!"

Flender had no time to react. He could only let out a helpless, despairing wail as he watched that hand strike his chest.

"Pfft!"

The blow that landed on Flender's chest seemed as light as a feather, yet as heavy as a mountain.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and several fragments of his heart, then collapsed to the ground. His eyes went unfocused, and he was clearly dead beyond doubt.
