At Shrek Academy, everyone from Shrek was puzzled when they saw Yu Xiaogang return in such a strange posture.
He was clutching his backside, his face pale.
Could it be that his butt had been beaten to pieces?
"Rongrong, what's going on here?"
Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong.
As the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong had seen and heard much. She should know something about this.
Having taken human form and come to the human world twelve years ago, Xiao Wu truly had no idea what this was about.
"Well..."
Ning Rongrong's eyes narrowed slightly. It was hard to guess from such a blunt description, but his drained appearance made it seem like he had been completely hollowed out.
Ning Rongrong crooked a finger. "Xiao Wu, come here. I'll tell you quietly."
Xiao Wu leaned closer, and Ning Rongrong whispered a few words into her ear.
Xiao Wu's originally innocent face froze when she heard Ning Rongrong's words, then filled with disbelief.
"Really?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened. "Something like that can happen?"
Ning Rongrong spread her hands. "It's only a possibility. But if that's really what happened, then this is going to be interesting."
Theoretically speaking, it was only her guess.
"Fine. He's Xiao San's teacher, after all."
"I won't tell him."
Xiao Wu chose to be more discreet.
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes slightly.
This was truly the first time she had heard of such a thing.
Yu Xiaogang was helped onto the bed.
"You should all go outside. I need some time alone to rest," Yu Xiaogang said.
Flender and Tang San could see that something was wrong with Yu Xiaogang, but since he refused to say anything, they could not force him.
They left the room, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone.
"My innocence..."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes burned with anger.
That damn Scar! I'll teach you a proper lesson. Just you wait!
You dared provoke me, Yu Xiaogang? I'll beat you without mercy!
The scene shifted to the Spirit Hall branch.
Yan turned around in astonishment. "Why are you here?!"
Su Yu clenched his fist and flashed before Yan. "Weren't you very confident? How about we go again?"
Yan swallowed, fear beginning to rise in his heart.
"Or are you afraid?" Su Yu sneered. "Admitting that you can't do it?"
Yan gritted his teeth and refused to back down. "Bring it on!"
Su Yu smiled. "I won't bully you. As long as you can take one punch from me, you win!"
"One punch?" Yan's confidence surged. "Forget one punch—even two punches would be no problem."
Since they were not actually fighting with weapons, but merely taking a punch, he could still manage that.
Nana was right beside him. He could not let her look down on him.
Xie Yue warned, "Yan, don't underestimate him."
Yan waved him off. "Don't worry, Xie Yue. I'm still very confident."
Yan slammed his fists together, and dark red flames erupted. Flame Lord Martial Soul Possession! Magma-like patterns covered his entire body, and the ground within thirty meters cracked and collapsed. A wild, arrogant smile curled across his lips. "Come on!"
Su Yu said nothing as the Divine Angel descended.
Yan's pupils shrank. He instinctively sensed a trace of danger, but his pride kept him from retreating.
Su Yu took a step forward and vanished from where he stood. One punch.
There was no soul skill, no flourish—only a punch of absolute purity, wrapped in sacred light, that crashed into Yan's chest.
Boom!
Yan's body flew backward, smashing through three stone walls in succession as the dark red flames around him instantly went out.
He lay sprawled amid the rubble, his chest caved in as he vomited blood. His vision darkened, and in his fading consciousness, only one thought remained: I nearly went to see my great-grandmother...
He barely managed to raise his eyes. The figure within the holy light in the distance seemed like a god.
Yan's lips moved as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, his head lolled to the side and he completely passed out.
"Damn!" Yue Guan could not hold it in and cried out.
"Yan!"
Xie Yue turned pale with fright and hurried over to inspect him. Only after discovering that Yan had merely fainted did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xie Yue, do you want a turn?" Su Yu asked with a smile. "I'll be very gentle. I'll take good care of every one of you."
Xie Yue jolted, then laughed awkwardly. "No need."
Not a single one had been spared. No, he had to get out of here quickly. If he failed to leave, things would become troublesome.
"I'll take Yan down to rest first."
After saying that, Xie Yue carried Yan away. Before leaving, he gave Hu Liena a look, telling her to follow him quickly.
Hu Liena understood, but she still chose not to leave. Instead, she remained behind. She wanted to test Su Yu herself.
"Su Yu, do you dare let me test you?"
Little Fox spoke.
"You're a control-type Soul Master. Fighting me would be like smashing an egg against a rock. Go back before you get hurt."
Su Yu had no intention of wasting too much time on Hu Liena.
"Don't underestimate me. My Charm ability is no ordinary thing now."
Hu Liena was furious when she realized Su Yu was looking down on her.
"I accept." Su Yu decided to indulge Little Fox.
"Just don't regret it."
Hu Liena slowly approached with enchanting steps, a hazy pink glow rising in her fox-like eyes.
Demon Fox Martial Soul Possession. A fluffy fox tail swayed gently behind her.
"Brother Su Yu..."
Her voice was soft enough to melt bone, every syllable like a feather brushing against one's heart.
"You're so amazing. Nana admires you so much. How about... coming over to my side?"
Pink mist spread through the air. It was Hu Liena's Charm soul skill; even those a full realm above her had to fear it.
The pink radiance in Hu Liena's eyes grew increasingly intense as she stared directly into Su Yu's eyes, attempting to impose her will upon him.
Yet Su Yu merely stood there. Golden light flickered behind him, and as holy light flowed, the pink mist melted away like ice and snow, unable to approach him.
His gaze was clear, and there was even a teasing smile at the corner of his lips.
"That's it?"
Hu Liena's pupils contracted sharply. Her Charm had never failed before. She clenched her pearly teeth and increased her Soul Power output, causing the pink glow to surge. But in the next instant, Su Yu raised his hand and clamped his fingers around her slender wrist like iron pincers.
"Mm!"
Hu Liena cried out in pain. As she struggled, she felt an immense sacred force pour into her body through her wrist, instantly sealing all circulation of her Soul Power.
Her Martial Soul was forcibly dismissed, her fox tail vanished, and her whole body went limp at once, leaving her without the slightest ability to resist.
Expressionless, Su Yu gripped her wrist and pulled her behind a nearby tree. His movements were not gentle, but neither were they rough.
Hu Liena stumbled as she was pressed against the trunk. At last, her seductive facade faded, and she glared at him in shock and anger. "You... what are you going to do?"
Su Yu looked down at her and said indifferently, "Charm is useless against me, so..."
"I'll teach you properly on behalf of your teacher what reverence means."
Hu Liena's expression changed again and again. No one had ever treated her like this.
She wanted to curse him and struggle, but the grip on her wrist did not budge. In those golden eyes so close to hers, there was not the slightest sign that he had been bewitched.
For the first time in her life, she felt panic rising from the depths of her heart.
I'm doomed, I'm doomed... And those two in front of me are my teacher's teachers. If I had managed to charm them, wouldn't that mean I'd be riding over my current teacher Bibi Dong's head?
But I failed—and got captured instead.
