Mom, There's a Bear Flying in the Sky~~

"Teacher Zhao!" Xiao Wu grew anxious and was about to step forward, but Ye Hua reached out and stopped her.

Ye Hua remained calm. "Unmoving King, I agree to fight you, but I want to make a bet with you."

Zhao Wuji frowned. "Speak!"

"If I win, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing will be admitted unconditionally, exempt from all assessments."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head. So this really was his plan to help me enroll...

Was it really worth it, for a stranger he had only just met, even if he had already saved her life?

Zhao Wuji glanced at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

The two girls were indeed quite talented. Even if they truly took the fourth assessment, they would most likely pass. This condition was not excessive.

"Fine, I agree!"

"But I advise you to get lost now. Otherwise, when I twist your arm off later, don't faint at the sight of blood!"

Zhao Wuji did not mention what would happen if Ye Hua lost. Losing a fight to him and merely suffering broken arms or legs would already be getting off lightly. What bet would there be left to discuss?

"Dai Mubai." Unmoved by Zhao Wuji's threat, Ye Hua suddenly glanced at him instead. "It's boring just watching, isn't it?"

"Didn't you always want to know why my first Soul Ring was a thousand-year one? How about we make a bet too?"

Dai Mubai secretly became wary. "Bet on what?"

"Simple. If I lose this match against Teacher Zhao, I'll tell you the complete truth behind my thousand-year first Soul Ring."

Dai Mubai's pupils trembled!

As long as Ye Hua was not spouting nonsense about tempering the body, this temptation was far too great!

If he mastered it, then not to mention Shrek Academy—even across the entire continent, he would be able to walk wherever he pleased.

His elder brother Davis, the Star Luo Empire's throne—none of it would matter anymore.

So, despite Ye Hua having just spouted nonsense, Dai Mubai was still willing to take the gamble!

"Then... what if you win?" Dai Mubai licked his dry lips.

"Then give me everything you own," Ye Hua said with a grin. "Including your Gold Soul Coins, Soul Tools, and Spirit Bones!"

Tang San had originally been gloating, waiting to watch Zhao Wuji beat Ye Hua senseless, only to hear the words "make a bet."

In an instant, he saw the playful look on Ye Hua's face. His entire body trembled as a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

Six years ago, on the field at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Ye Hua had looked at him with the same smiling expression.

Then he had cheated him for six whole years! An entire six years!

"Boss Dai!" Tang San nearly blurted out, "Don't bet with him! There's something strange about this guy!"

Dai Mubai impatiently turned back and glared at him. "Shut up. Who are you to tell me what to do?"

After being cursed at, Tang San ground his teeth. Fine words cannot save someone determined to die. Suffer it yourself, then!

"Fine! I'll bet!" Dai Mubai immediately took out paper and pen and wrote up an agreement, afraid Ye Hua would regret it if he delayed even a second.

Ye Hua accepted the agreement, nodded in satisfaction, and stored it in the Azure Jade Bracelet.

Zhao Wuji had long since grown impatient. Dai Mubai had just said Ye Hua could defeat him, but he had not taken it seriously at all!

He was the Unmoving King, a mighty Soul Saint who had broken through the encirclement of more than a dozen Soul Emperors from Spirit Hall!

Ye Hua defeating him? That was simply the biggest joke in the world!

"Make your move!" Zhao Wuji did not even summon his Martial Soul. "I won't bully you. I'll stand right here without moving and give you three moves first, so no one can say I bullied the young."

The moment he finished speaking, Dai Mubai's right eyelid twitched wildly, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.

He could only pray that Zhao Wuji would not embarrass himself. Otherwise, if he lost everything he owned, forget supporting the twin sisters—he would have trouble even affording food!

Ye Hua tilted his head. "Your word is your bond?"

"Of course!" Zhao Wuji slapped his chest with booming thuds. "Every word I say counts! If I go back on it, I'm not a man!"

What a joke!

Could he, the mighty Unmoving King, a Soul Saint with maxed-out defense, fail to withstand a mere Soul Elder?

If that happened, he might as well stop calling himself the Unmoving King and rename himself the Unmoving Dead!

Even without summoning his Martial Soul, he could withstand attacks from quite a few Soul Ancestors, let alone a Soul Elder!

"Then pardon my offense."

Ye Hua did not stand on ceremony either. The Coiling Dragon Staff appeared in his hand.

Three Soul Rings suddenly rose!

Purple! Purple! Black!

The three Soul Rings reflected one another, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Zhao Wuji's smile instantly froze on his face!

His already round eyes widened even larger than bells!

A thousand-year first Soul Ring?

And a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring?

Was that even a Soul Ring configuration a human could possess?!

"Wait—"

Before Zhao Wuji could finish, Ye Hua had already moved.

The Coiling Dragon Staff swept upward, and the third Soul Ring suddenly flared brightly!

Mountain-Severing Bull-Striking!

Starting from the Coiling Dragon Staff, the attack pierced through space and struck Zhao Wuji precisely in an indescribable spot on his lower body!

And it dealt triple true damage!

"Ugh, aaah—!!!"

"Dai Mubai, are you fucking insane?!"

"Fuck, aaahhh!"

An inhuman scream erupted from Zhao Wuji's throat!

Immediately afterward, the level-seventy-six Soul Saint Zhao Wuji lifted off the ground before everyone's dumbfounded eyes.

His entire body was forcibly launched upward by a terrifying force, shooting into the sky like a cannonball.

His burly body traced a straight line through the sky, flying higher and higher until it became a tiny black dot in the blink of an eye.

At a farmhouse beside Shrek Academy, a little girl playing with mud happened to look up. She froze as mud dripped from between her fingers onto the ground.

"Mom! There's a bear flying in the sky~~"

Her mother poked her head out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand. "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? How could bears fly?"

But before she could finish, she too saw the figure flailing in the air and screaming endlessly. The spatula clattered to the ground.

"Oh heavens... it really is a bear!"

BANG!!!

Zhao Wuji rolled through the air over and over, flying for more than ten breaths before gravity finally called him back, sending him crashing heavily into the assessment grounds.

The instant he landed, the entire ground shook three times. Dust billowed, and shattered stones flew in every direction.

Once the dust settled, everyone finally saw Zhao Wuji's condition clearly.

He clutched his crotch tightly with both hands, his legs curled into a ball, his mouth unable to close as he gasped roughly.

The entire place fell silent. Everyone forgot to breathe.

Xiao Wu finally relaxed and hurried forward, throwing herself into Ye Hua's arms.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking as she clearly fought desperately to hold back her laughter.

Tang San was completely petrified, standing there in a daze and not knowing what to do.

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and slowly stepped forward. "Thank you, Teacher Ye. I really... don't know how to..."

"It's fine." Ye Hua shrugged. "It was nothing."

[Ding—]

[Mission "Rescue Zhu Zhuqing" completed]

[Reward distribution in progress...]

[Obtained two levels of special soul power (may be granted to anyone)]

[Zhu Zhuqing has been bound as a rescue target. Current Rescue Progress: 25% (overwhelming gratitude)]

[Increasing Rescue Progress can unlock more rewards. Please continue working hard, Host]

[Eliminating the factors behind Zhu Zhuqing's corruption and helping Zhu Zhuqing escape her tragic fate can both greatly increase Rescue Progress, such as making Zhu Zhuqing give up on Dai Mubai and freeing her from her family's arranged marriage control]

After receiving the reward, Ye Hua directly gave the soul power to Tie Xiong.

A level-ninety-eight guardian was the confidence he needed to roam the world!

From now on, he could stand tall and no longer needed to watch others' expressions!

In his excellent mood, Ye Hua was unusually in the mood to tease her. "Zhu Qing, you used to be like Xiao Wu—you called me Brother Ye Hua!"

"I only got into one fight. How did we suddenly become so distant?"

Seeing that Ye Hua had not put on the airs of a powerful expert, Zhu Zhuqing finally relaxed and said with a smile, "Then should I call you brother from now on, like Xiao Wu does?"

"No!" Xiao Wu instantly rejected it on Ye Hua's behalf. "Sister Zhu Qing, you should still call him... Brother Ye Hua!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's jealousy, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and did not insist. Besides, she was naturally strong-willed. If she kept calling him brother, she would feel embarrassed instead.

But just as everyone was enjoying themselves, Zhao Wuji suddenly sprang up from the ground and charged stiffly toward Ye Hua!

"Ye Hua!!!"
