Soul Elder, with Three Rings

Once they left Suotuo City, they turned onto a country road.

The road was like the surface of the moon, riddled with potholes.

The Sanbengzi had no shock absorption system. When its wheels rolled over a large pothole, the entire vehicle was launched into the air.

"Ow, fuck!"

Xiao Wu had been standing and shouting into the wind. Caught off guard, she lurched forward and crashed straight into Zhu Zhuqing's arms.

Her face hit Zhu Zhuqing's magnificent Martial Soul dead-on.

Soft.

Extremely soft.

There was even an astonishing rebound.

Xiao Wu froze, her brain short-circuiting. Instinctively, she even rubbed her face against it twice.

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned so red it looked ready to bleed, and she had no idea where to put her hands.

"X-Xiao Wu, get up already."

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. This road is way too bumpy."

Xiao Wu scrambled to her feet and secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's neckline.

Then she looked down at her own and felt a wave of bitterness.

They were both girls, so why was the difference so huge?

Seeing the complicated look in Xiao Wu's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks grew even hotter. She simply turned away, pretending nothing had happened.

Su Chen turned around and solemnly reminded them, "Country dirt roads are complicated. Standing is prohibited, sticking your head out is prohibited, and using your chest to catch people is prohibited."

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

Xiao Wu: "..."

Accompanied by the addictive music and the jolting cargo bed, the three finally arrived at their destination.

Su Chen slammed on the brakes. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing eagerly jumped off, their legs trembling unsteadily.

The music was exciting, but the physical damage was seriously over the limit.

Xiao Wu swore she would never ride this thing down a dirt road again.

The people waiting in line were drawn by the piercing brakes and wild music, turning their heads in unison.

The men's eyes went wide.

Where had these two stunning little beauties come from?

Yet even more eye-catching was Su Chen casually waving his hand and making that pink hunk of iron vanish.

Li Yusong, reclining behind a battered table at the village entrance, narrowed his eyes.

A Storage Soul Tool, and one with such a large capacity. These three children probably had extraordinary backgrounds.

"This is Shrek Academy?"

Xiao Wu looked at the dilapidated village before her with utter disdain. "Boss, are you sure we didn't take a wrong turn? This dump is an academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing also frowned.

She had originally thought that someone like Dai Mubai, even if he had not joined some prestigious sect, should at least have attended something that looked like an academy.

But this was it?

A dignified Star Luo Prince had fled to Heaven Dou just to hide in a place like this and waste his days away?

Calling this place an academy was an insult to the word itself.

A middle-aged man in front of them kindly reminded them, "Young ladies, you don't understand. This is Shrek Academy. They say it only accepts monster geniuses, and after graduation, they become pillars of the empire that everyone fights to recruit!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "Looks more like a scam academy that only takes suckers."

As she spoke, an argument broke out in the line ahead.

A young man held out his hand to Li Yusong behind the table.

Li Yusong reached out and squeezed the youth's wrist without even looking up. "Your bone age exceeds twelve. You're unqualified. Next."

The youth's father panicked. "Teacher, my son only just turned thirteen. Can't you make an exception?"

"Rules are rules. Even one day over is unacceptable."

The father grew anxious. "Then we're not enrolling. Give us our money back!"

Li Yusong said flatly, "Once the registration fee has been collected, it will not be refunded."

"This is fraud!"

The father rolled up his sleeves and reached for the wooden box on the table.

Li Yusong snorted coldly and planted his cane on the ground.

Boom!

A violent surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted.

White, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black!

Six Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet. The powerful pressure became almost tangible, sending the parent staggering back more than ten steps before he fell onto the ground.

A six-ringed Soul Emperor!

The crowd, which had been noisy moments ago, instantly fell deathly silent. No one even dared breathe too loudly.

"Anyone else want their registration fee refunded?" Li Yusong's gaze swept across the crowd.

No one dared speak.

He was quite pleased with the effect of showing off.

Xiao Wu's gaze turned cold.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened as well.

She had grown up seeing the arrogance of Star Luo Empire nobles and had watched the weak be crushed by rules.

But this academy used the name of cultivating monsters to collect money, while relying entirely on brute force to suppress people with its rules.

"Boss, you can put up with this?" Xiao Wu looked at Su Chen, clearly displeased.

Shrek truly lived up to its name—Shitrek.

They cheated ordinary people out of their hard-earned money, then used force to threaten them.

As a righteous man from the twenty-first century, how could Su Chen possibly stand by and watch?

"Of course not."

He strode forward.

"Come on. Let's go give this old comrade some warmth."

Xiao Wu immediately followed, her eyes darting around.

Li Yusong reclined in his chair again. "Want your registration fee refunded? Fine."

"At Shrek Academy, we convince people with reason. As long as you can defeat someone I designate, your money will be returned in full."

After saying that, he shouted toward a large tree nearby, "Mu Bai, get down here and receive guests."

The moment his words fell.

A white figure leaped down from the tree canopy, performing an exceptionally graceful forward roll in midair before landing steadily.

The newcomer wore white, and his golden hair was combed to a gleaming shine.

It was Dai Mubai, who had just recovered from his serious injuries.

After lying in bed for days, every bone in Dai Mubai's body ached.

He was also bottling up a mass of Evil Fire with nowhere to vent it.

Called out by Li Yusong today to keep order, he had been thinking of finding a few troublemakers to restore the prestige of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.

"Who wants their registration fee refunded?"

Dai Mubai crossed his arms and raised his chin at a forty-five-degree angle, his eyes holding thirty percent cold disdain, thirty percent mockery, and forty percent indifference.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

Three Soul Rings lit up.

"It's simple. Anyone who wants their tuition refunded, step forward and beat me. Then take your money."

The crowd collectively sucked in a breath.

Such a young Soul Elder.

This shabby academy really had something to it!

Listening to the surrounding exclamations, Dai Mubai's lips curled upward slightly.

Yes, this was the feeling.

Awe, shock, admiration.

This was the status the Evil-Eyed White Tiger deserved.

Xiao Wu grabbed Su Chen's sleeve, pointed ahead, and shouted excitedly, "Boss! Look! It's that kidney-deficient sick cat!"

Dai Mubai had been enjoying the crowd's awestruck gazes when he suddenly heard "kidney-deficient sick cat," and rage instantly surged within him.

Fuck! Who dared call him a sick cat!

Kidney-deficient? He was a White Tiger! An Evil-Eyed White Tiger!

Not a sick cat! And definitely not kidney-deficient!

He looked over furiously.

The instant their gazes met, Dai Mubai's arrogant expression froze on the spot.

Fuck!

Weren't these the trio who had kicked him around like a ball at the hotel?!

His ribs seemed to awaken with traumatic memories.

The spots that had only just been set back into place began to ache faintly.

His waist started hurting, and his legs began to go weak.

The three pushed through the crowd and swaggered to the front.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and cracked her knuckles. She had said that the next time she encountered such an atrocious, disgusting man, she would make him regret it.

Today, she would avenge little sister Zhu Qing!

"Hey, old man! You said beating this sick cat means we get the money back, right?"

Watching Xiao Wu's eager stance, Li Yusong was completely dumbfounded.

Was this little girl really that brave? Did she not know what a Soul Elder was?

A Soul Elder, with three rings!

Li Yusong nodded. "Rules are rules, naturally."

"Mu Bai, it's you. Remember to hold back. Don't cause any deaths."

Dai Mubai's face went completely black.

Leave it to me? Leave it to your fucking uncle!

This little girl could kick me into outer space with one kick, and you want me to fight her?

Wouldn't that just be asking me to die again?
