"Um... excuse me, aren't you a little hesitant?" Oscar asked nervously.
"What's so strange about that? Food-type Soul Master have all sorts of strange Soul Incantations. Take Su Luo, the Food-type Soul King from the last Soul Master Tournament, for example. Food, well, as long as it's edible, that's fine. It tastes pretty good and can even restore Soul Power. Food-type Soul Master are indeed amazing."
Oscar was momentarily speechless.
Ning Rongrong continued, "The Soul Curse is indeed full of sexual innuendo, but why do people feel embarrassed about talking about sex? Isn't it all part of the body? There's nothing wrong with talking about it openly! Just laugh it off!"
After saying that, Ning Rongrong said with a hint of complaint, "I'm really envious of Su Luo's big, meaty breasts. Mine are a bit too small, hahaha..."
Oscar, on the other hand, blushed. This...
Encouraged by Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also gritted their teeth and ate the sausages.
Flender nodded in satisfaction and praised, "You're becoming more and more like a team! Let's go!"
With the help of the Soul Power Recovery Big Sausage, the Shrek Seven Devils arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest without much effort.
It was getting late, and they needed a place to rest, so the group soon arrived at a small tavern and sat down together to relax.
Everyone was hungry, so they ordered some dishes for each other. It has to be said that Ma Hongjun really loves to eat; he ordered more than a dozen dishes by himself.
Dai Mubai joked, "This fat guy... he spends all his allowance on women, and the rest on food. I really suspect that if you weren't Soul Master, you would definitely become a cook."
"The chef seems pretty good too," Ma Hongjun muttered.
Ning Rongrong ordered quite a lot, far beyond what a typical girl's appetite would be.
Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating so much?"
"Please, Soul Master need to replenish their energy during cultivation. Where will they get energy if they don't eat? You've been working hard all day, what's wrong with eating more?" Ning Rongrong retorted.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't have any men after you get fat?" Tang San was truly a staunch feudalist, having learned all the dregs of feudalism.
"Big brother, just eat your food and stop meddling in other people's business. I'm only twelve years old and not even married yet. How do you know I won't have a man in the future? What era are we living in? Still clinging to feudal ideas? As Soul Master, I can earn money to support myself. I don't need to rely on so-called others!"
Tang San looked displeased. Seeing her man get the short end of the stick, Xiao Wu also pouted. Originally, Xiao Wu really wanted to have a big meal, but when she thought about getting fat and being disliked by her third brother, Xiao Wu slowed down and ended up not eating much.
The tavern was already about 60-70% full. Just then, a group of eight people walked in. Similar to Tang San and his group, they were also eight people.
The leader was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. He was quite handsome, with his hair neatly combed and extremely shiny. His moon-white Soul Master robe was also very exquisite, embroidered with silver threads to form patterns. It shimmered with light as he moved.
Following the middle-aged man were seven young people, six men and one woman. They all appeared to be around twenty years old and wore the same moon-white Soul Master robes, except that they lacked the silver embroidery on the middle-aged man's robe. However, both the middle-aged man and the seven young people behind him had a blue circular mark on their left shoulder, with two characters of the same color embroidered inside the circle—Cang Hui.
"That girl's pretty good-looking, Boss Dai. These guys must be from the Canghui Academy, right?"
The fat man stared intently at the only girl in the group of eight. It had to be said that the girl was indeed quite pretty, and could be considered above average.
Although Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong are beautiful, they are only around twelve years old, and compared to fully developed teenage girls, they appear much more immature.
For a boy of Fatty's age, a slightly more mature girl is obviously more attractive. Coupled with his Evil Fire, his eyes naturally gleamed as he stared intently at her.
Dai Mubai curled his lip, "It's just a small Canghui Academy, what's there to brag about?"
Neither the fat man nor Dai Mubai deliberately lowered their voices. Soul Master naturally have better hearing than normal people, and despite the noise in the restaurant, the middle-aged man among the eight people still turned his gaze over, his brows slightly furrowed.
When he saw that the table at the Shrek Academy was just a group of children, his expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
Oscar sat down next to Ning Rongrong and chuckled softly, "This is going to be good."
"What good show?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.
"Dean Flender once said: 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre,' especially since the other side is Soul Master Academy. If we provoke them, so be it; at most, we'll just have a fight."
"Huh? What if that middle-aged man on the other side starts a fight?" Ning Rongrong was completely baffled. It's one thing if they fight without a teacher present, but we don't have a teacher, while they do. What if their coach comes in and we can't beat them?
This isn't a fighting ring; it's a fair one-on-one match, and the head coach isn't allowed to step in.
"Uh... I don't know..." Oscar was momentarily speechless.
Tang San couldn't help but laugh, "All the quotes from our Vice Dean could be combined into a monster's quote collection. We're geniuses, and geniuses naturally dare to cause trouble!"
The students of the Canghui Academy could not stand this kind of treatment. Two boys immediately stood up and walked towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai wasn't going to put up with it. He'd had enough of being bullied by Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing these past few days! He was just looking for someone to vent his anger on, and here came this perfect opportunity delivered right to his doorstep—how could he refuse?
Dai Mubai threw a punch, sending a male student flying. The student crashed into two tables before falling heavily onto the table belonging to the Canghui Academy.
The middle-aged man from the Canghui Academy reacted swiftly and easily caught the student. The student's face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, becoming utterly weak.
"Sorry, I messed up. I'm really sorry," Dai Mubai said gloatingly.
"Damn it! Attack together!"
The seven students from the Canghui Academy attacked together, heading straight for the Shrek Academy.
"I love fighting the most!" Xiao Wu was very excited. She jumped out of her seat and, together with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, knocked all the students of the Canghui Academy to the ground.
Judging from the strength of Dai Mubai and his companions, the middle-aged man assumed they were young masters and ladies from powerful families on a training expedition. He began to have second thoughts, realizing he shouldn't provoke them any further.
"I am Ye Zhiqiu, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
