Ye Zhiqiu easily suppressed Dai Mubai, who White Tiger Possession, and Xiao Wu without even releasing his Martial Soul. This made Dai Mubai frown, thinking, "Oh no, have I messed up with someone tough?"
"We're from the Shrek Academy." Before Dai Mubai could even speak, the fat Ma Hongjun said smugly, while his naked gaze lingered on the only female student from the Canghui Academy.
Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled apologetically, "So you're a genius from the Shrek Academy, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner."
Due to some unknown reasons that altered the timeline, Shrek Academy is now ranked very high among the advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, and its reputation and background are far superior to those of their small Canghui Academy.
Even Ye Zhiqiu, a Soul King, had to be wary of the Shrek Academy Shrek Academy's reputation after hearing about it, and became polite to Dai Mubai, who had hit him.
"Hmph! Good that you know! The reputation of Shrek is not something your little Canghui Academy can infringe upon! You, shine my shoes!" Dai Mubai was easily pleased, and seeing how much the other party feared Shrek, he became arrogant. He pointed to his shoes, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with disdain.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but straighten his face. Clearly, he was furious. Shrek Academy was supposed to be a top-tier institution, so how could its students be so arrogant? Hitting someone was one thing, but our small Canghui Academy wouldn't hold it against them. However, insulting someone's dignity was going too far. This was intolerable!
"Hold on! Hold on!" Ye Zhiqiu whispered to herself, putting on a kind smile again. Sigh, that's how it is for working people; they not only have to sell their labor, but also their emotions.
Ye Zhiqiu still felt that they had to consider the bigger picture. Shrek Academy was not to be trifled with, and Canghui Academy could not afford to offend them. If they provoked them, it would be fine if he personally suffered some humiliation, but if the entire academy was affected, it would be a loss that did not outweigh the gain.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu's countless emotions finally turned into a long sigh. She squatted down and wiped Dai Mubai's shoes.
"Old man, I'm not done yet!" the fat man, always eager for drama, shouted. "And another thing, I'll make that woman of yours spend the night with me."
"Alright! Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, you two have gone too far. As the saying goes, one should be forgiving when one can. You were the ones who started the trouble by speaking rudely, and now you're using Shrek Academy's reputation to bully others. You're really something!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she got up from her seat and helped Ye Zhiqiu, who was about to polish his shoes, to his feet.
"Mind your own business!" Dai Mubai spat on the ground. "Whose side are you on? If you're really so kind, why don't you go to the Canghui Academy?"
"Exactly!" the fat man echoed, staring longingly at the female student from the Canghui Academy. "That damned Ning Rongrong, you ruined my good time!"
"Alright, alright, we're the Shrek Seven Devils, no need to get angry over outsiders. Boss Dai, Fatty, you guys really went a little too far today. Be more careful next time in front of Rongrong."
Although Oscar also felt that Dai Mubai and Fatty hadn't done well, the three had been friends for so long, so he had to consider his pride and didn't say anything too harsh, acting as a peacemaker.
"This is boring," Xiao Wu sighed dejectedly. She had thought they were going to have a big fight!
Ye Zhiqiu said "thank you," then turned and told the students to quickly leave this troublesome place. He really didn't want to provoke these "troublemakers" anymore.
Not long after Ye Zhiqiu and his group left, Flender and his group of four arrived.
Dai Mubai, acting like the villain, accused Flender of wrongdoing and recounted what had just happened.
"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. You did the right thing, Rongrong. You are too soft-hearted! You must know that in the Soul Master World, the strong prey on the weak. If you don't provoke others, they will provoke you. Strike first and you will be strong; strike later and you will suffer. You should learn this from Mubai..." Flender earnestly instructed.
"Are there really that many people in this world who have nothing better to do than provoke others? As long as we have no vested interests, can't we just treat each other like strangers and respect each other? Provoking others is just asking for trouble!"
Ning Rongrong retorted.
"Sigh, Rongrong, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has protected you too well..." Flender sighed.
"That teacher is stronger than all of us. It's only because we're facing Canghui Academy that we're here. If he were a teacher from the Godwind Academy or Blazing Fire Academy, we'd already be lying on the ground," Ning Rongrong muttered. "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't have the habit of provoking other sects..."
"You are a team. You should know that it is much better for everyone in a team to do something wrong together than for everyone to do what they think is right on their own!" The Grandmaster's famous quote was dug out from who-knows-where. Anyway, he had long disliked Ning Rongrong, and he followed Flender's teaching.
" Grandmaster, you have to consider the context when you say that. If the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School attacked Shrek Academy Shrek Academy together and razed it to the ground, do you think we did a good job?" Ning Rongrong had never lost a debate.
Yu Xiaogang was speechless after being rebuked, and could only look around with a red face, fantasizing about finding a crack in the ground to bury himself in.
Liu Erlong understood Ning Rongrong's implied meaning and said to the Shrek Seven Devils, "Before causing trouble, try to find out as much as possible about the other party's background."
The atmosphere was tense that evening. Everyone went to bed after dinner, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning.
The Star Dou Forest stretches as far as the eye can see, teeming with all sorts of rare and exotic beasts; it is a treasure bestowed upon the Soul Master of the Douluo Continent by nature.
Although there are many kinds of Soul Beast in the Star Dou Forest, the Grandmaster has extremely high requirements for Soul Beast, adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones." This can be considered one of the few times he can act like a human.
The Shrek Academy students wandered around the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest for almost a month, but still couldn't find Soul Beast that particularly suited Oscar.
However, the wait was worthwhile; perseverance pays off, and the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent that belonged to Oscar finally appeared.
"A thousand-year-old Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. Judging from its length, it must be at least 1,600 to 1,800 years old. Little Ao, you're in luck! Zhao Wuji, make your move!"
Zhao Wuji, the "tool man," rubbed his hands together, launched himself forward, and jumped ten meters high. He then swooped down and stomped heavily on the head of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, slamming it to the ground.
A huge amount of dust rose into the air, and when the smoke cleared, the brightly Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was already on its last legs.
