Wall Hole

Dugu Yan looked at Wang Feng, her eyes full of gratitude.

During the time she had known Wang Feng, everything he had helped her with and taught her had left her unable to repay him.

Perhaps becoming his girlfriend was also a kind of fortune for her.

Seeing Dugu Yan look at him like that, Wang Feng felt slightly moved. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Although it was not her first time being intimate with Wang Feng, Dugu Yan was unusually absorbed this time.

Next door, Ye Lingling was practicing the unique technique Wang Feng had taught her when she suddenly heard some sounds. Curious, she stopped cultivating.

When she went out to look, she realized the sounds were coming through the hole Wang Feng had made with his Soul Power Spiral Bullet.

Her room was connected to Dugu Yan's room, which meant the sounds were coming from Dugu Yan's room.

"Why does this sound seem so familiar?"

Ye Lingling moved closer. The moment she listened, she recognized Dugu Yan's voice.

Suddenly, Ye Lingling realized something. As she listened, her face turned bright red.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sounds coming through the hole slowly calmed, though they remained soul-stirring.

Listening to those sounds, Ye Lingling could not settle her mind at all. She could only continue practicing the unique technique Wang Feng had taught her.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the people from Shrek Academy were on their way.

A few days earlier, Oscar had broken through to Rank 30. Zhao Wuji led the seven Shrek students to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Spirit Ring.

After several days on the road, as evening approached, Zhao Wuji brought them to a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest to rest.

As soon as the eight of them entered the town, they quickly found an inn to stay in.

After going hungry for days, Ma Hongjun and the others headed straight for the dining hall upon arriving at the inn.

The seven Shrek students were not as close as they had been in the original story.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong still held deep grievances toward Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing especially had nearly despaired of Dai Mubai. If he had not recently devoted himself to cultivation and sworn never to indulge in pleasure-seeking again, she would have left Shrek Academy to find Wang Feng.

By staying now, she was giving Dai Mubai one last chance.

Even though she had stayed, their relationship remained rather cold.

"Waiter!"

The moment he entered the dining hall, Dai Mubai shouted for a waiter. Afterward, he turned back and ingratiatingly said, "Zhuqing, what do you like to eat? I'll order it for you."

"Anything." She replied coldly and said no more.

Dai Mubai seemed used to Zhu Zhuqing's personality and did not mind. After ordering several dishes she liked, he passed the menu to the others.

The moment Oscar got the menu, he immediately stood up. Wearing an expression much like Dai Mubai's, he asked ingratiatingly, "Rongrong, what do you like to eat? I'll order it for you."

"Hmph, can't I order for myself?" Ning Rongrong huffed arrogantly, refusing Oscar's kindness.

"Yes, yes. Rongrong, what do you want to order? I'll call the waiter for you."

Everyone at Shrek Academy knew that Oscar liked Ning Rongrong. However, Ning Rongrong had high standards, and Oscar was merely a support-system Soul Master. It was obvious she had no interest in him, yet Oscar still refused to give up.

After Tang San received the menu, he looked at the increasingly beautiful Xiao Wu and smiled. "Xiao Wu, you like radishes, right? I'll order you a serving."

"Mhm, okay. I want all kinds of radishes. I like them."

After they finished ordering, Dai Mubai saw that the waiter still had not come over. With a gloomy expression, he walked out, intending to see what was going on.

As he passed a middle-aged man, Dai Mubai, already in a bad mood, ignored him and bumped into him.

"Shouldn't you apologize after bumping into someone?"

Seeing Dai Mubai simply walk away, the middle-aged man spoke coldly.

"Hmph! Apologize? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Dai Mubai stopped. Already in a foul mood, he immediately began mocking him.

Looking the middle-aged man over, Dai Mubai saw that he was dressed shabbily and looked utterly poor, which only worsened his mood.

"With the way you look, you want me to apologize? Try again in your next life."

With that, Dai Mubai turned to leave.

"Stop."

A cold shout rang out as a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth stepped forward to block Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai stared coldly at the youth blocking him and said disdainfully, "What? You want to stand up for him? Do you even have the strength to do that?"

At the dining table, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the others saw Dai Mubai clash with someone. Seeing that it was only a young man around their age, they said with interest, "This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. He actually dared provoke Boss Dai. Now there'll be a good show."

"What good show?" Tang San asked, puzzled by Ma Hongjun's excited expression.

Oscar explained, "This is also part of our training. Dean Flender once said that a Soul Master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master. As the saying goes, those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities."

Tang San could not help but laugh. "If we put all of our dean's sayings together, we could make a collection of monster quotes. This youth is only seventeen or eighteen. He must be from some academy. With Boss Dai's strength, he should be able to crush him easily, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing, sitting nearby, heard Oscar and Tang San's words and said coldly, "What if you provoke someone you shouldn't?"

Ning Rongrong echoed her, "Exactly. Oscar, there's obviously something wrong with what you said. Doesn't that mean bullying the weak? What if you run into someone strong?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's words left Oscar and Tang San stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, it really did sound like bullying the weak.

But Dean Flender had said it, and as students, they could not exactly refute him.

"The dean was the one who said it. I don't know either." Seeing Ning Rongrong looking at him, Oscar, who liked her, hurriedly shifted the blame onto Flender.

The youth in white looked at Dai Mubai and said, "You bumped into my teacher. Apologize to him immediately."

Dai Mubai looked at the youth in white with a teasing expression. "The word 'apology' doesn't exist in my, Dai Mubai's, dictionary. Why don't you teach me how to apologize?"

"Then today, I'll teach you how to apologize..."

The youth in white spoke coldly as a long spear appeared in his hand. At the same time, three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—lit up.

"A Soul Elder, and with the optimal Spirit Ring configuration!"

Ma Hongjun and Tang San looked at the youth in white in shock.

They had never expected this youth to be a Soul Elder.

When Dai Mubai saw the youth in white's Spirit Ring configuration, his brows furrowed. He was a Soul Elder like him and had the same configuration. His strength was worthy of Dai Mubai taking him seriously. Still, Dai Mubai was not afraid.

The next instant, three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—lit up around Dai Mubai as well.

When Dai Mubai revealed his Spirit Rings, the middle-aged man glanced at him before no longer paying him any attention.

The youth in white finally lost his patience. He flicked his spear, and one Spirit Ring lit up. The spear tore through the air and instantly lunged at Dai Mubai's face. It was so fast that Dai Mubai nearly failed to react.

After narrowly evading the attack, Dai Mubai struck back with a Tiger Claw, colliding with the spear.

With a bang, Dai Mubai staggered backward. Looking at his numb hand, he felt a chill in his heart as he stared at the youth.

"How... how can his strength be so great?"

The youth in white pointed his spear at Dai Mubai and said coldly, "I'll give you one chance. Apologize to my teacher immediately."

"Hmph! Apologize? Keep dreaming." Dai Mubai spoke as he looked toward Tang San and the others.

"That's right. Apologizing isn't Shrek Academy's style."

"He's only a Soul Elder. Do you think we'd be afraid of you?"

"No big deal."

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San walked over, immediately hurling taunts at him.

"Since you're looking to die, I'll grant your wish."

The youth in white understood now. These people were nothing but a pack of thugs. He decided to teach them a proper lesson and no longer intended to hold back.

"Second Soul Skill: Spear Out Like a Dragon."

A white phantom formed from a vortex of air appeared and instantly swept toward Dai Mubai and the others.

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Radiance Wave."

"First Soul Skill: Entangling."

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line."

The light wave, Blue Silver Grass, and flames attacked the youth in white at the same time, but his expression remained calm.

He shifted to the side and moved swiftly. The Blue Silver Grass rushing to bind him missed instantly, as did the fire line. His spear surged like a dragon, striking Dai Mubai's White Tiger Radiance Wave head-on.

To Dai Mubai and the others' disbelief, the dragon-like spear shattered the light wave in an instant and shot straight for Dai Mubai's throat. In the blink of an eye, it was about to take Dai Mubai's life.

The youth in white twisted his wrist and avoided Dai Mubai's vital point.

But in Dai Mubai's eyes, that movement was clearly meant to kill him.

"You dared lay a hand on my student? You're courting death."

Just as the youth in white was about to stab Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji's voice suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, a burst of gravity descended. Before the youth in white could react, he felt his body grow heavy, and he and his spear were nearly forced to the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you attack people from Shrek Academy? Are you looking to die?"

As the voice sounded, Zhao Wuji's figure walked down step by step.

"Your people bumped into my teacher. I merely asked him to apologize. Nothing more."

The youth in white slowly rose to his feet and spoke each word distinctly.
