Xuan Zi froze for a moment, then his face instantly flushed crimson. In all his years, he had never been pointed at and cursed like this before—not to mention in front of a young girl.
He gritted his teeth, his voice carrying a simmering fury. "What did you say?!"
Xuan Xiao stared at him with icy eyes and enunciated each word. "I said, get out! Are you deaf?"
Xuan Zi's face darkened completely. He was a Level 98 Super Douluo and the head of the Shrek Inspection Corps. When had anyone ever dared curse him like this? Even Mu En wouldn't speak to him in that tone.
He was just about to make a move and teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
Xuan Xiao snapped his fingers. The crisp, sharp sound rang out, especially grating in the quiet room.
"Wake up. I need to borrow a few Bone Dragons!"
The instant the words left his mouth, a pitch-black portal opened beside Xuan Xiao. Ghostly blue flames flickered along its edges, and deep darkness filled the space within, as if it led to another world.
Then came a thunderous boom.
A massive bony tail thrust through the portal. Its bones were deathly white, each segment as thick as a millstone, and it lashed into Xuan Zi with tremendous force.
Xuan Zi had no time to react. As if struck by a mountain, he shot backward, smashed through the wall, and left a person-shaped hole in it.
He kept flying, plowing a long furrow through the ground before finally crashing into a tree. The impact snapped it in half, and only then did he come to a stop.
That one blow shattered the quiet of Shrek's morning!
Students poured out of their dormitories, and teachers rushed out of the office buildings. Everyone looked toward the sound—and saw a sight they would never forget.
A gigantic, deathly white claw reached out of the pitch-black portal. Its five finger bones were like five spears, gripping the edge of the frame before pulling hard.
A huge dragon's head poked through the portal. It, too, was made of deathly white bones, and golden flames burned in its eye sockets, radiating a sacred, majestic presence.
Then its entire body emerged from the portal: a Bone Dragon more than a hundred meters long, its bones deathly white and its skeleton complete. Every bone shimmered faintly, as if carved from the finest white jade.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three more Bone Dragons burst from the portal with a rush of wind, circling above Shrek Academy. Their enormous wings cast broad shadows, blotting out the sky.
When everyone looked up, they were dumbstruck.
There were four Bone Dragons, each more than a hundred meters long. Every one radiated an oppressive presence so powerful that some of the less advanced students collapsed to the ground, unable even to stand.
What the hell? Those were Bone Dragons?
What kind of joke was this?
Normally, even if a Bone Dragon possessed other attributes, it couldn't change the sinister aura of death clinging to it. It should have made people uncomfortable.
But these four Bone Dragons didn't have the sinister, terrifying aura of Evil Soul Masters. Instead, they radiated a rich golden light, warm and sacred as sunshine, making everyone feel cozy.
They were clearly giant dragons with the Light attribute!
Light Bone Dragons?
What the hell were those supposed to be?
Hearing the commotion, the Sea God Pavilion Elders, led by Song Yunzhi, hurried over. When they saw the four Bone Dragons circling in the sky, their minds seemed to stop working.
In all their years, they had never seen anything like this.
Holding Zhu Lu, Xuan Xiao leaped onto the back of the leading Bone Dragon. Its spine was broad and flat, as steady as solid ground.
"Look—is that Zhu Lu?"
"Damn, isn't she Dai Huabin's fiancée? How did she end up with Xuan Xiao?"
"That's way too much information!"
He'd gone after Dai Huabin's fiancée? That kid's got some nerve!
Dai Huabin stood among the crowd, his face ashen. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms and drew blood, but he seemed not to feel the pain.
He glared at Xuan Xiao and Zhu Lu standing atop the Bone Dragon, his eyes full of fury and humiliation. He wanted nothing more than to charge over and tear Xuan Xiao to pieces, but he didn't dare.
He could feel that the aura radiating from those four Bone Dragons was enough for any one of them to crush him with ease.
Standing atop the Bone Dragon, Xuan Xiao looked down at the crowd. His gaze swept over the Sea God Pavilion Elders as he spoke in a chilling voice.
"You'd better give me an explanation, or I'll tear Shrek apart today!"
The words caused an uproar.
Tear Shrek apart?
What a boast!
But when they looked at the four Light Bone Dragons circling overhead, then at the person-shaped hole in the ground where someone had been flung, and the tree snapped in half, no one dared question him.
Anyone who had felt the aura of a Super Douluo knew one thing: if these four Bone Dragons were measured by Soul Power Level, each would be at least Level Ninety-Seven, if not higher.
Four Level Ninety-Seven Bone Dragons, plus the unfathomable Xuan Xiao—that was enough power to sweep through all of Shrek.
Song Yunzhi's expression turned grim. She looked over at Xuan Zi, who had just climbed to his feet, covered in dirt, and spoke with simmering anger. "Elder Xuan, what on earth have you done?"
Xuan Zi brushed the dirt from his clothes and protested indignantly.
"I only wanted to take him as my disciple! What did I do wrong? I'm a Level 98 Super Douluo. Having me as his master is his good fortune!"
Yan Shaozhe stood off to the side, silently watching Xuan Zi. He said nothing, but his eyes held a trace of distance and coldness.
Ever since returning from the Far North, he had stopped trusting Xuan Zi altogether.
That old fool was good for nothing but causing trouble for Shrek.
Mu En hurried over too, leaning on his cane and panting as he reached the scene. He saw the four Bone Dragons in the sky, then the huge hole in the ground, and nearly choked on his breath.
He drew a deep breath to steady himself, then looked up at Xuan Xiao standing on the Bone Dragon and began, "Young Xuan Xiao, could you give this old man a—"
Before he could finish, Xuan Xiao cut him off.
Xuan Xiao looked down at him, his eyes icy and his voice openly disgusted and impatient.
"Drop dead, old bastard! Get lost! I show you respect, but who the hell shows me any?"
This time, Xuan Xiao had cursed Mu En openly in front of all of Shrek.
It wasn't like the relatively private setting of Xian Lin'er's office last time, and he wasn't merely arguing back. He was openly cursing Mu En in front of everyone, without giving him an ounce of face.
The entire crowd fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Who was Mu En?
He was the bedrock of Shrek Academy, a Limit Douluo and one of the top powerhouses on the entire continent.
And now, in front of the entire faculty and student body, a twelve-year-old boy had actually cursed at him, "Drop dead, old bastard! Get lost!"
The scene was simply too shocking.
