Soul Hunt Postponed, Clear Sky Gaze

"Since those few people aren't lightly injured, and you've vented your anger, there's no need to keep attacking and draw experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, exposing the trace of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast..."

Hearing the voice transmission from his maternal grandfather Niu Gao.

Jin Feng, who was walking toward Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing right in front of him who was tense and treating this as a formidable enemy, Ning Rongrong who wore a face of humiliation and bit her lips tightly, and Oscar who was trembling all over while blocking in front of the two young women despite being extremely terrified.

After he muttered a soft three weaklings.

He silently put away the Black Gold Blade, ignored the three nervous-looking people, turned around, and left.

When passing by Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, who were lying on the ground in pain and looking disheveled, the corners of Jin Feng's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "You're truly vulnerable to a single blow!"

"With just this bit of strength, you even dare to proclaim that those who dare not make trouble are mediocre... Heh... I really don't know who gave you the courage..."

After the cold taunt.

Jin Feng ignored the vicious gazes of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, came to Gu Yuena's side, pulled her hand, and walked toward the hotel's entrance.

Just as he was about to enter the hotel.

Jin Feng seemed to think of something, suddenly turned his head to look at the terribly gloomy-faced Zhao Wuji not far away, and said indifferently, "It's your turn to clean the floor. Remember to compensate for the hotel's losses... Consider it the tuition I'm giving them for this lesson!"

With that.

Jin Feng and Gu Yuena entered the hotel.

Their figures disappeared from everyone's view.

At the same time.

Among the onlookers all around.

Seeing the Shrek Seven Devils beaten up so miserably by Jin Feng that Zhao Wuji didn't even dare to let out a fart, the people from Blue Sunshine Academy who had rushed over upon hearing the news almost laughed out loud.

The wheel of fortune really turns.

Shrek Academy was currently much more disheveled than they had been earlier.

Zhao Wuji also noticed the suppressed smiles from the Blue Sunshine Academy crowd, but he had no time to bicker so much with them right now.

After watching Jin Feng's group completely enter the hotel, he rushed without a second word straight to Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.

After a round of inspection.

Zhao Wuji only felt the sky falling.

Everything went black before his eyes, and he almost passed out.

The reason was also very simple: during the process of leading the team on the soul hunt, Dai Mubai, an imperial prince of the Star Luo Empire, had three ribs broken and his internal organs damaged.

Ma Hongjun, the personal disciple of Dean Flender, not only had three broken ribs but also a broken right arm, and his internal injuries were even more severe than Dai Mubai's.

As for the one injured most heavily among the three, it naturally belonged to Tang San. Aside from the wound on his chest from taking that blade being extremely deep so that the grayish-white bones were visible, his body also suffered multiple fractures, his internal organs were bleeding, and his Soul Power was in disarray...

The moment he thought of the fact that Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, Zhao Wuji trembled all over. Memories of being brutally beaten by Tang Hao two days ago flooded his mind, and the several unhealed wounds on his body began to ache faintly.

One could say.

Except for Xiao Wu, who had fallen unconscious due to soul skill backlash, the injuries on the other three bodies would require at least half a month of recovery even with the treatment of a healing-type Soul Master.

Although this disaster was brought upon Dai Mubai and the others themselves, for Zhao Wuji, it would be fine if Dai Mubai and Tang San weren't injured; once they were injured, he would inevitably be unable to shirk responsibility.

After a moment of silence.

Zhao Wuji raised his gaze to look at the Shrek Seven Devils.

He said in a deep voice, "Tang San, Mu Bai, and the others are too heavily injured. We must immediately find a place to heal... Little Ao, it looks like your third soul ring will have to be postponed for a few days. After their condition stabilizes a bit, I'll bring you back to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts."

Hearing this.

Oscar immediately waved his hand and said, "Teacher Zhao, there's no need to talk about hunting a soul ring for me right now. Taking Boss Dai, Tang San, and the others to heal is what's urgent."

"Mn."

Zhao Wuji acknowledged.

Then, following Jin Feng's demand amidst the bantering gazes of countless people, he compensated for the hotel's losses with a deeply aggrieved expression.

Immediately after, he spent money to hire a few people, finding stretchers to carry Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others whose bodies couldn't move haphazardly toward the nearest medical clinic.

Gazing at the increasingly distant hotel.

Tang San, lying on the stretcher, muttered with a sinister gaze, "Blade Demon, the mainland's number one genius... You've already brought a way to die upon yourself. Today's humiliation, I, Tang San, will certainly make you pay it back a hundredfold in the future."

Hearing this beside him, Dai Mubai also wore a ferocious gaze as he said, "Damn Blade Demon, this young master will definitely make you pay the price!"

At the same time.

Ning Rongrong, walking along the road, also turned her head, looked toward the hotel, and said resentfully, "This damned fellow not only ignored this young lady, but also called me a trash... Since birth, this young lady has never been humiliated like this."

"Blade Demon..."

"I've remembered you."

"What of the mainland's number one genius?"

"In the eyes of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a genius who hasn't matured is nothing at all!"

"One day, this young lady will make you kneel before me to repent and admit your mistake!"

"..."

Hearing the vicious murmurs of Tang San and the others.

Zhao Wuji couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.

These pampered young masters and princesses who hadn't suffered any grievances on ordinary days seemed to have forgotten that they were the ones who went to provoke the other party first.

He had already told them that the Shrek students had astonishing backgrounds, yet Jin Feng and the experts behind him still remained unmoved, clearly showing that their own foundation was extraordinary and they simply didn't fear them...

Besides that.

In Zhao Wuji's view.

The Star Luo Imperial Family would never make an enemy of the mainland's number one genius and extraordinary-backgrounded 'Blade Demon' for the sake of Dai Mubai, a trash prince who had basically lost all chance at the crown prince position and had long since fled to the Heaven Dou Empire to escape Dai Weis's suppression.

As for Ning Rongrong over here, she wasn't injured.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect certainly wouldn't fall out with a mysteriously-originated, peerlessly combat-powerful mainland's number one genius based solely on her one-sided words.

Zhao Wuji felt the only one who might possibly make a move.

was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been secretly protecting Tang San before and was extremely protective and overbearing.

But right now.

He believed Tang Hao shouldn't be here.

Simply because if Tang Hao were here, Tang San shouldn't have been beaten so fiercely and injured so heavily by the 'Blade Demon' earlier.

However.

Zhao Wuji didn't know.

In a certain corner not far from them, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had beaten him up just two days ago, was silently watching them.

Gazing at the blood-soaked Tang San on the stretcher.

Tang Hao muttered softly, "Xiao San, don't blame Dad for not making a move just now. Your path has been too smooth; how can you grow without experiencing setbacks..."

"A failure isn't a bad thing for you; instead, it can teach you to curb your pride and impetuosity!"

"Moreover, hatred can make you grow, and anger can make you stronger... Having a target to defeat and surpass will stir up your driving spirit even more."

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere in struggles among juniors..."

"Yet this 'Blade Demon' was truly a bit too ruthless with his strikes. You had no grudge or enmity with him, yet he actually injured you this heavily just over a minor dispute."

"Since he used a 40-rank Soul Ancestor cultivation to beat you, a 29-rank Soul Grandmaster, bullying the weak and leaving you heavily injured for half a month, then Dad will make him lie down for a month..."

"As for his life..."

"It's better for you, who possesses 'Twin Martial Souls', to take it in the end and shatter your own inner demon!"

After the murmurs.

Tang Hao, whose entire body was shrouded in a tattered cloak, flicked his figure and abruptly vanished on the spot.
