Shrek, Shocked Once Again! Qian Ni's Leisure!

Qian Ni waved his hand, shattering the tables and chairs. Countless pieces of wood, thick and thin, traced bizarre arcs as they flew together at the nine buttocks on Ye Zhiqiu's body!

He originally had one, and Flower Bloom's eight rounds had grown eight more!

Add the original, and that made nine!

Pfft—

"Aaaaargh—!!!"

Amid his screams, a huge, muffled, bizarre sound rang out. Murky-colored blood blossomed across Ye Zhiqiu's body.

He and his nine buttocks crashed to the ground, unable to rise again!

This was the new application of Flower Bloom that Qian Ni had devised!

This way, his second and third soul skills could work in tandem! Together, their power was far more than merely doubled!

Anal Gungnir never missed! The limbs generated by Flower Bloom were linked to the enemy's senses!

As long as a creature was not born without flaws, it could not escape the judgment of this combination soul skill!

No! Perhaps even creatures born without an anus could be made to grow buttocks by Flower Bloom!

What an unconventional concept! What an utterly deranged idea!

Sometimes, even Qian Ni felt that he had probably drifted very far from humanity.

But that was fine. The strong were supposed to viciously humiliate the weak!

Even without relying on Ultimate Power! Even without transforming into the White Devil! Qian Ni would still become that bastard who could fuck everyone to death!

Like he always said, my days of risking life and limb are over. Now it was time for others to risk life and limb at the hands of this bastard!

In the hotel lobby, all eight members of Radiant Dawn Academy had fallen.

A foul stench began spreading from their wounds.

Frowning, Qian Ni flashed away and smashed through the side wall of the hotel.

Leaving behind only a human-shaped hole.

He casually tossed down a bag of gold soul coins as compensation, without even counting how many were inside.

Still, Zhu Zhuyun was surely wealthier than her younger sister.

How tragic. He could no longer stay at the hotel, so Qian Ni could only stay in a villa out in the wilderness.

Fortunately, his Fate Stone reserve was now: 77.

The seven two-ring Soul Masters from Radiant Dawn Academy, plus Ye Zhiqiu, a five-ring Soul King, had contributed nineteen Fate Stones in total. Added to his original fifty-eight, that made exactly seventy-seven.

In return, Qian Ni had spared their lives.

He was forming a good karmic bond. Perhaps they would work hard in the future and repay Qian Ni with higher cultivation and more Fate Stones!

By evening, when Zhao Wuji led the Shrek Seven Monsters into the supply town, the commotion outside the hotel had yet to settle.

Every other hotel in town was already full.

Only this one still had vacancies, but the members of Radiant Dawn Academy lay sprawled across the entrance like corpses, still unconscious.

The goodwill of wandering soul masters was expensive. Even if a healing-type soul master saw them, they might not necessarily be kind enough to help.

The fact that they did not rob them was already out of respect for the safety rules established in the supply town!

Not to mention that these people's injuries were in that particular area.

Especially Ye Zhiqiu, a Soul King. The duration of his ten-thousand-year soul skill was absurdly overbearing.

Even by the time the Shrek Seven Monsters arrived, the extra buttocks all over his body had not vanished.

That also meant he was still enduring nine times the pain while unconscious.

Even with the cultivation of a Soul King, he kept waking from the pain, then passing out from it again, only to wake once more in agony.

This horrifying sight deeply shocked everyone from Shrek.

Even Zhao Wuji, who had traveled far and wide for so many years, had never seen anything like it!

If Ye Zhiqiu's hands and feet had not remained perfectly clean and unmutated, Zhao Wuji would have thought some kind of buttock soul beast had invaded the supply town and perished together with Radiant Dawn Academy's seven students!

"Eugh... how disgusting!" Ning Rongrong frowned, pinched her nose, and retreated several steps in disgust.

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened as he counted on his fingers in amazement. "One, two, three...

"Holy shit, Boss Dai! Xiao Ao! Xiao San, look! This guy actually grew nine buttocks! And every single one got blown up!

"Could this be some mutated martial soul? Thunder Nine-Buttocks?"

Oscar could not stand it any longer. He simply shut his eyes, turned away, and cursed.

"Shut up, Fatty! You actually counted them!"

Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes gave him observational abilities far beyond ordinary people. Every detail of the eight Radiant Dawn Academy members entered his sight.

For a moment, he could not forget it even if he wanted to. He could only cover Xiao Wu's eyes with a pained expression.

He shouted, "Xiao Wu, trust me! Don't look!"

Yet Tang San could not help thinking of his teacher.

Yu Xiaogang's soul skill was farting...

From Ma Hongjun's words alone, Xiao Wu had already imagined the scene.

Though she felt nauseated, she also could not help becoming curious.

Xiao Wu quietly tilted her head and peeked through the gaps between Tang San's fingers, catching a glimpse of the miserable sight.

Immediately...

"Bleurgh..."

Only then did she realize that curiosity could not only kill cats—it could kill rabbits too.

What about Zhu Zhuqing?

Although her expression was somewhat unpleasant as well, the discussions of the surrounding soul masters caught her attention.

"...a silver-haired Soul Elder..."

"...a bizarre soul skill, growing... buttocks..."

"...all black soul rings? No way! How could that be possible!"

"Hard to say. Have you heard of Whale Glue Pellets? The ones Spirit Hall started selling... I heard plenty of nobles have been enjoying them for a while!"

The truth seemed to be right before them.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, each seeing understanding in the other's eyes.

"I think..." Zhu Zhuqing said slowly.

"It was him!" Ning Rongrong declared decisively.

"Other than Brother Qian Ni, I don't believe there is a second person who possesses such an outrageous soul ring configuration and... even more outrageous soul skills."

Suppressing her nausea, Ning Rongrong glanced once more at the miserable state of the eight Radiant Dawn Academy members.

Then she turned to Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, you saw it too. None of the other hotels in town have rooms left.

"And this hotel..."

She did not say more, but everyone wore the same expression.

"I suggest we find somewhere outside town to camp tonight.

"I brought extra tents in my storage soul tool. If you did not bring any, I can lend you a few."

Zhao Wuji frowned. His bearded, fleshy face also wore an expression like he had just seen shit.

"Ning Rongrong! Stop throwing around your young lady's temper here!

"As soul masters, we might encounter any kind of environment in the wilderness!

"You can't even tolerate a little smell like this?"

He berated her repeatedly, yet his gaze never once turned toward the hotel entrance.

Ning Rongrong looked at his stubborn refusal to admit it and did not argue. She merely said calmly, "I don't really care either. As long as you can accept stepping on... that kind of thing the moment you walk out tomorrow morning.

"Brother Qian Ni definitely would not stay here. There is no information about him at the other hotels either, so he must be ahead of us!

"I just want to meet up with him as soon as possible!"

The moment he heard Qian Ni's name, Zhao Wuji's heart abruptly jolted with unease.

Under Qian Daoliu's illusion, he had completely forgotten being beaten black and blue by Tang Hao, then encountering the even more terrifying Qian Daoliu.

But the body had memories too.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Wuji relented.

"You have a point. That brat... as the academy's investor, I have an obligation to protect his safety!

"Damn it, he left the group and set off early without permission. But for the sake of his money, I can't even properly discipline him!

"Hmph! Wilderness survival is part of your curriculum too, so we'll start today!

"Keep moving! Find somewhere outside town to make camp!"

After night fell, the Shrek group had only traveled a short distance beyond the supply town when they saw the pointed roof of a round white building rising through a gap in the shrubbery.

As they approached, they immediately spotted Qian Ni, the person they had been searching for. He had leisurely moved a reclining chair into the open space before the villa and was enjoying the camping life.

A grilled meat skewer in one hand and a bottle of happy water in the other, he looked perfectly content.

"Yo, you're here. Have you eaten?"

Beside him, the fierce-looking Alien wore an apron and busied himself nonstop at the grill.
