"Yes, Dean Zhao Wuji, we understand!"

Dai Mubai immediately spoke up loudly.

Zhao Wuji had a short temper. Whenever he got angry, he often used training as an excuse to beat them up.

Right now, they did not dare ask what exactly had happened to Flender.

They were afraid Zhao Wuji would be in a bad mood and beat them up.

"Hmph, good that you understand. All right, go do whatever you need to do."

The wound on Zhao Wuji's face was tugged, and he could not help baring his teeth in pain.

Rubbing his cheek, he turned and left. He needed to go back and apply some medicine.

"What exactly did Headmaster Flender do?"

Oscar asked worriedly.

"Who cares? As long as it doesn't drag us into it, he can deal with his own mess."

Dai Mubai spoke indifferently.

He had never had much of a favorable impression of Flender to begin with, especially after being scolded earlier.

He liked him even less now. Even if Flender died, he would not care.

As long as it did not interfere with him picking up girls.

"Boss Dai, isn't that a little inappropriate? He is our headmaster, after all."

Oscar said.

Oscar had grown up following Flender since childhood, so he did have some feelings for him.

"If you think it's inappropriate, then go flee for your life with Flender and get wanted alongside him."

"We're not stopping you. Go if you want."

Dai Mubai immediately said.

"This..."

Oscar was instantly left speechless. He could say a few nice words.

But being wanted and fleeing for his life with Flender was something he truly could not do.

Let Flender suffer on his own. Just do not drag him into it.

"Pfft, Xiao Ao, no one is watching you now, so stop pretending to be a good kid. Come on, my treat—we're going into town to have some fun."

"I heard that brothel we always visit has a new girl. Let's go take a look."

Dai Mubai directly hooked an arm around Oscar's neck, a lewd smile appearing on his face as he spoke.

"Is that really a good idea?"

Oscar swallowed. He wanted to go a little, but it still felt somewhat wrong.

"Suit yourself. I'm going with Boss Dai anyway. If you want to stay behind, then stay here by yourself."

"But we won't bring you along when we go out to have fun in the future."

Ma Hongjun spoke without hesitation.

Nothing was more important than visiting prostitutes. What did a missing headmaster matter compared to that?

Besides, the headmaster had run away, not been captured. There was no need for them to worry.

"Then I'm going too. Wait for me."

Oscar followed after them as well.

Not long after the three of them left, someone knocked on the headmaster's door.

"Is Headmaster Flender here? I have something to discuss with you."

An elderly voice called out.

"Headmaster Flender fucked off. I, Zhao Wuji, am the headmaster here now!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly flung open the door and shouted at the little old man outside.

"Oh, Headmaster Zhao, shouldn't you pay the rent for leasing our village?"

"Headmaster Flender did not pay last month. He said he would pay this month."

The little old man was the village chief. The houses and land used by Shrek Academy had all been rented from the village.

The village chief had come this time to collect the rent.

"Money... I don't fucking have any money. That bastard Flender took it all."

"Go fucking ask him for it."

At the mention of money, Zhao Wuji thought of last night's fight. His face began hurting again, and he could not help roaring in fury.

"Th-this... But didn't you say you're the headmaster now? If you're the headmaster, then you have to pay."

Frightened by Zhao Wuji's vicious appearance, the old village chief staggered back two steps, his body beginning to tremble.

But the money did not belong to him. It belonged to everyone in the village. For the sake of the village—

he still nervously tried to demand the rent.

"Didn't I say I don't fucking have any money? Say one more word, and I'll beat you to death. You believe me?"

Seven Soul Rings appeared behind Zhao Wuji, and the Vigorous Vajra Bear Martial Soul manifested behind him as well. He roared.

"I-I understand. We don't want it anymore, we don't want it!"

The old village chief was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Then, crawling away in terror, he fled.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you."

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, turned around, and shut the door. Shrek had done plenty of this sort of bullying.

Every year during admissions, some people felt they had been cheated and wanted their ten Gold Soul Coins back.

But every time, Shrek simply beat them back with force. Flender did the same in his shop.

Whenever someone who had been cheated came to demand an explanation, flashing his Soul Rings was enough to scare them away.

After the old village chief returned, the villagers were all waiting for the rent.

"Wuwuwuwu, I'm useless! This old man is useless!"

"I couldn't collect the rent, and half our village is still occupied. I'm truly useless!"

"I'm not fit to be the village chief!"

The old village chief immediately burst into tears. He felt that he had let down the villagers' trust. He was not worthy of being their village chief.

"Village Chief, don't be like this. Tell us what happened, and we'll think of a solution together."

The villagers hurriedly helped the old village chief up, comforting him as they asked what had happened.

After asking around for a while, the old village chief told them about what had just happened.

"Shrek has gone too far!"

"They think they can bully us just because we're villagers!"

"No, we have to go find them!"

"Everyone, don't go! We're no match for them. We'll be beaten to death!"

The old village chief hurriedly grabbed everyone, wailing as he spoke.

"We may not be their match, but we can go find the Spirit Hall officials. They'll definitely stand up for us!"

"That's right, let's go find the Spirit Hall officials!"

"Come on, Village Chief. We'll go with you."

After hearing the old village chief, the villagers thought it over and decided to report the matter to Spirit Hall.

In their limited understanding, Spirit Hall was the most powerful organization and was in charge of Soul Masters.

Moreover, Spirit Hall officials came every year to awaken their Martial Souls, so they believed Spirit Hall was made up of good people.

"All right, we'll go to Spirit Hall!"

The village chief wiped away his tears. He had to find a way to reclaim the village and recover the money that rightfully belonged to the villagers!

Meanwhile, Qin Qi had gathered the information he needed at the Great Soul Arena.

The Data Panel had finally been put together. He found an empty place and began examining it.

[Soul Power Level: Level 26] [Soul Power Quality: S] [Physical Constitution: Soul Grandmaster] [Spiritual Power: Soul Grandmaster]

"Soul Power Quality refers to the density and strength of Soul Power, but because high-level data is lacking—"

"it can only determine how well my Soul Power has been developed within my current realm."

Qin Qi's Soul Power Quality was now S-rank. In the system's calculations—

among Soul Grandmasters, Qin Qi's Soul Power Quality was the strongest.

After all, he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Dragon-Shaped Soul Power supporting him. When it came to quality, he truly was very strong.

The Great Soul Arena arc was nearly finished. Next would be Shrek's fate.

Then they would set out for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
