Burst Your Shit Sack!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang—"

Suddenly, Tang San's hands stopped moving. He stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

"What is that?"

In front of Lin Xiao's group, ten Ninja Gugas wearing forehead protectors had stacked themselves into a square formation, each holding an iron fan in front of them.

All the hidden weapons Tang San had thrown were stopped against the surfaces of the iron fans.

"Uchiha Rebound!" ×10

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"

Countless hidden weapons flew back along their original paths. Tang San's eyes widened as he hurriedly activated his Demon Eyes and Mysterious Jade Hand to defend himself.

"Guga! Look behind you!"

Tang San was horrified and instinctively turned around.

Fat Guga held an iron rod and thrust it straight upward, but because she was too short...

"Squish!!"

The iron rod went in more than halfway.

"Argh!!!"

Tang San let out a miserable scream, feeling as if his body had been torn apart down the middle.

With a whoosh—

Tang San shot several meters into the air before crashing heavily to the ground, sprawled face-down with his butt raised high.

An iron rod as thick as a wrist stood upright, as though someone were burning incense.

His eyes rolled white, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. His entire body twitched beyond his control, and the pain nearly robbed him of all strength.

Everyone present clenched their buttocks and sucked in a sharp breath.

Lin Xiao stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing and looked at Dai Mubai.

"Hey, blondie, what are you looking at?"

The other nine Evil Fat Gugas all pulled out iron rods in unison and stared at him menacingly.

Alchemist Guga even thoughtfully stepped forward to enchant them, pouring an entire bottle of chili extract over the iron rods.

A red skull made of spicy fumes rose from the rods.

Dai Mubai shuddered all over, cold sweat pouring down his back.

He forced out a smile.

"Uh, hehehe... brother, you've got the wrong idea. Having them is enough for me."

As he spoke, he pulled the pair of twins beside him into his arms and even kissed them on the lips.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned even colder.

She tugged on Lin Xiao's sleeve.

"Let's go."

"Mm, alright. Let's go, everyone!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand.

He led the group onward.

Dai Mubai and the surrounding onlookers hurriedly moved to either side, clearing a broad path.

They were terrified of ending up with a ruined chrysanthemum and injuries all over the ground.

Only after they had gone far away did Dai Mubai let out a breath of relief.

He released the twins, walked over to Tang San, and crouched beside him.

"Hey, Tang San, are you alright?"

"Hurts... dying..."

Tang San's breathing was weak, and his entire body trembled in pain.

"Tut, tut, tut... That's really miserable. Since we'll be classmates in the future, I'll help you out."

Dai Mubai walked around behind Tang San and firmly gripped the iron rod.

"Don't..."

Tang San stared at him in terror, weakly shaking his head as he tried to stop him.

But Dai Mubai did not notice his resistance at all. He suddenly exerted force and yanked outward.

"Squish!"

"Arghhhhh!!!"

Tang San let out a heart-rending scream. His whole body convulsed violently, and he fainted from the pain.

Dai Mubai looked at the indescribable substance on the iron rod, red and yellow intertwined, then tossed it aside with a disgusted expression.

He had directly burst Tang San's shit sack, hadn't he?

He shook his head and sighed.

Tang San was in serious trouble. That injury would take at least several months to recover from.

Elsewhere.

Lin Xiao and the others found another hotel and checked in.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing gathered together.

Ning Rongrong could not help asking curiously:

"Zhuqing, who was that blond guy? Do you know him?"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips. After struggling for a while, she finally said it.

"He is my fiancé."

"What?!" ×2

Ning Rongrong frowned. After giving it some thought, she guessed the answer.

"You're the Zhu Family's second daughter. Could your fiancé be a prince of the Star Luo Empire? The one with the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul?

I heard that the Star Luo Empire has a twisted custom: two princes have to fight each other to the death, and whoever wins becomes emperor.

Then wouldn't you and your older sister also..."

"Mm..."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft response, her expression dimming somewhat.

"Dai Mubai and I are younger than Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi, so our chances of winning are slim. Dai Mubai ran away...

I thought he had escaped to work hard, seek opportunities, and become stronger. I never expected..."

"He actually left you alone in the imperial palace! That's far too much!"

Xiao Wu's tone was full of anger as she stood up for Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked worriedly:

"Then, Zhuqing, do you still plan to join Shrek Academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her gaze, her voice subdued.

"I have no choice. If I don't join forces with him, I'll die..."

Now Ning Rongrong did not know what to say either.

Although she and Zhu Zhuqing could be considered acquaintances, they were not particularly close, and there were many things she could not casually bring up.

After resting for the night.

The group arrived at Shrek Academy's registration site full of energy.

"No way, Rongrong. This is the interesting place you told us about? It's even more run-down than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's toilets!"

Xiao Wu's little face scrunched up as she surveyed the surroundings with utter disdain.

Ning Rongrong was confused as well.

"That's not right. The information I gathered clearly said that the teaching staff was excellent, that students received one-on-one instruction, and that all the academy's graduates were powerful geniuses."

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched as he raised a hand and called out.

"Sales Guga, come translate that for us."

"Guga."

A Guga in a suit and tie stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Ahem! Excellent teaching staff and one-on-one instruction means they can't recruit any students, so the teachers have nothing to do, guga.

As for nearly all graduates being geniuses, that's because they only recruit geniuses, guga."

"..."

Sales Guga's explanation silenced the three girls and the parents waiting in line.

One parent hesitantly spoke up.

"Lord Soul Master, could your little talking creature have misunderstood?"

"Guga! Impossible! Please do not question my livelihood, guga! Guga is a goose that can sell a haunted house where eight residents died at a high price!"

Sales Guga puffed out his chest and retorted indignantly.

The people around him felt their scalps tingle.

Good heavens, this was an expert!

Everyone immediately became certain that this shabby academy was obviously a scam.

"Let's go, let's go. We might as well attend another intermediate academy."

Several parents nodded one after another, pulling their children away as they prepared to leave the registration site.

But even more people refused to accept it, all believing their children were once-in-ten-thousand geniuses.

They hoped their children would rise to prominence, bring them honor in the village, and make others envy them.

But the outcome was that they lost ten gold coins and were thrown out.

Soon, it was Lin Xiao's group's turn.

"Mm, the age is suitable. What is your Martial Soul, and what level is your Soul Power?"

"Soft Boned Enchanting Rabbit, level 34."

"What?!"

Li Yusong sprang to his feet, his face full of disbelief.

Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips and proudly raised her head.

"Making a fuss over nothing."

As her words fell, three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—slowly rose beneath her feet.
