Why Waste Words with Him

Flender felt exhausted and decided not to overthink it.

After all, his Shrek was practically on the verge of shutting down. Now that so many monsters had come along, he might as well take them all in.

Whether they were young masters or young ladies, what ulterior motives could they possibly have? Was his Shrek really that great?

Why did he not know that?

Once he figured it out, he no longer felt conflicted at all.

Flender cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Listen to me. I don't care about your identities. I only have one requirement: if you meet the admission criteria, I'll take you. If you don't, I won't."

"Clearly, all of you meet the requirements. You're welcome to stay, and I won't stop you if you want to leave."

"But remember this: even if you used to be a prince or princess, once you choose to join, you'll be my students from then on."

At that, he looked at his old friend Yu Xiaogang and sighed. "Stay and help me if you want. If not, forget it. I've managed all these years anyway."

Hearing those words, Yu Xiaogang was clearly ashamed beyond words.

Tang San, standing nearby, waited for him to make his choice. Whether Yu Xiaogang stayed or left, he would support him.

However, before Yu Xiaogang had made up his mind, Xiao Wu followed Bai Ye's lead and chose to stay, making Tang San anxious.

No, Sister Xiaowu, I haven't even said whether I'm staying. How did you decide to stay already?

Weren't we together?

"Teacher." Tang San tugged at Yu Xiaogang.

In the end, Yu Xiaogang sighed and decided to stay. He had already made that decision before setting out, but he had never expected to encounter Bai Ye, who had come out to train, here.

Even less had he expected Bai Ye to be this absurdly exceptional—a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor!

Two Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!

Afterward, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also chose to stay.

Ning Rongrong stayed because Bai Ye, that handsome guy, had stayed.

Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, believed that Spirit Hall was immensely powerful. As long as she built a good relationship with Bai Ye, even if Dai Mubai ultimately proved useless and lost, leading to both of them being purged, she could still survive and perhaps even escape her fate.

She knew very well that a monster among monsters like Bai Ye held an extremely high position within Spirit Hall.

Thus, under Flender and Dai Mubai's lead, everyone officially entered the academy.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out and stopped them.

"Wait."

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in white and a white-haired elder standing not far away.

The newcomers were Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.

Although it was their first meeting, Bai Ye recognized them at once, because Ning Fengzhi's appearance at the Heaven Dou Auction House had been described this way in the original story.

"Dad!" Ning Rongrong ran over and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and rubbed Ning Rongrong's head. "Naturally, I have something to do."

After saying that, he looked toward the group and recognized Bai Ye among them with a single glance.

Ning Fengzhi smiled amiably at Bai Ye. "Bai Ye, I came here for you. Join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi got straight to the point.

As the academy headmaster, Flender naturally could not sit still.

Damn it, I'd just convinced myself to take them all in, and now you come over here to poach someone right in front of me?

So what if you're the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Are you that amazing?

Of course, Flender did not dare say any of that aloud. His status could not compare to Ning Fengzhi's even if he tried his hardest.

"Sect Master Ning, isn't this inappropriate?" Flender asked hesitantly.

But the one who answered him was not Ning Fengzhi, but the Sword Douluo.

As a Titled Douluo, Chen Xin directly revealed his nine Soul Rings.

The meaning was obvious.

Flender's face turned deathly pale. He had been persuaded through virtue.

He was certain that if he showed even the slightest sign of continuing to obstruct them, the Sword Douluo might not kill him with a single strike, but he would definitely make him shut up.

However, someone's face was even paler than Flender's.

It was Xiao Wu.

At that moment, she was overwhelmed by fear and instinctively hid behind Bai Ye.

That movement made it impossible for the Sword Douluo not to notice her.

"Hm? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" The Sword Douluo froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He quickly transmitted his voice to Ning Fengzhi and informed him of the situation.

Ning Fengzhi was shocked. Fearing that complications might arise, he immediately decided to abduct Bai Ye and Xiao Wu.

"Uncle Sword, take those two away."

Bai Ye instantly understood why Xiao Wu had hidden behind him with such a pale face. The Sword Douluo had recognized her.

The Sword Douluo did not hesitate at all and was about to make his move.

That made Tang San, who had been watching the spectacle, unable to remain calm.

"Stop! You can take Bai Ye away, but not Sister Xiaowu!" Tang San rushed forward.

But what answered him was a slap from Ning Fengzhi.

"Too noisy!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang San was slapped unconscious and sent sprawling to the ground.

Yu Xiaogang, who loved his disciple like a son, flew into a rage. He immediately took out the Pope Token and shouted, "Stop! I am an honorary elder of Spirit Hall! How can you treat my disciple like this?"

Ning Fengzhi paused, then sneered. "I am also an honorary elder, Sect Master. Besides, your disciple has brought death upon himself. Can't you see that little girl transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

At those words, everyone looked at Xiao Wu behind Bai Ye in shock.

Although Bai Ye already knew, he still put on a surprised expression.

"What? You're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Bai Ye sounded shocked, but he did not retreat even half a step.

However, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai quickly pulled away from her.

"Mhm." Xiao Wu was terrified, but she still nodded at Bai Ye.

"Uncle Sword, take them away," Ning Fengzhi said.

The Sword Douluo was about to attack again when three voices rang out one after another.

"Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect think Spirit Hall has no one left to defend it?"

"Hehehe, what a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Are you planning to go to war with Spirit Hall?"

"What nerve, Chen Xin! You actually dare lay a hand on Young Master Ye!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo appeared in the arena.

Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo's expressions changed drastically.

Why had three Titled Douluo appeared all at once?

At that moment, just like Tang Hao before them, they were deeply puzzled by why the three seemed to be teammates.

Hadn't Poison Douluo sworn never to join Spirit Hall?

And hadn't the two beside him once hunted him down?

How had they now reconciled and become allies?

However, Dugu Bo did not explain anything to them.

"What do the three of you mean by this?" Ning Fengzhi knowingly asked, as the situation had become somewhat uncontrollable.

Although he could enhance the Sword Douluo, a one-against-three battle might not give them the upper hand.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi did not know that all three Douluo had advanced by one rank.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi also did not know that they had just fought Tang Hao and suffered injuries of varying severity.

"I should be asking you that, Sect Master Ning. What are you trying to do to Spirit Hall's Holy Son?" Yue Guan said.

Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo were utterly shocked.

Holy Son!

That meant Bai Ye was the next Pope!

They had never imagined that the youth they had come to recruit would be Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

Had they known earlier, they would never have come.

Of course. If such a heaven-defying youth came from Spirit Hall, where else could he have come from?

With talent like his, being chosen as the next Pope was perfectly normal.

Ning Fengzhi wore a bitter smile. This time, they had kicked an iron plate.

Fortunately, they had not killed Bai Ye. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have suffered Spirit Hall's wrath, and their best possible outcome would have been sealing their sect like the Clear Sky Sect.

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi felt immensely fortunate and decided to give up.

As for that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

With three Titled Douluo here, what could he and the Sword Douluo use to take her away?

Ning Fengzhi wanted to give up, but how could Bai Ye allow them to simply walk away after stirring up trouble?

He had read the original story. When Tang San revealed his fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring during the Soul Master Tournament, the Bone Douluo had harbored killing intent.

How could Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo have come here without killing intent?

"Uncle Yue, why waste words with them? Just do it!"

Bai Ye spoke decisively and immediately released his first soul skill, Honor Blessing.

Three halos instantly enveloped Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Poison Douluo, increasing all their attributes by two hundred percent.

Although they were injured, their combat power soared, and their fighting spirit instantly surged to its peak.

Besides, the future Pope had given the order!

And if Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo returned alive, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must have grown tired of living!

"Take them down!" Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Poison Douluo unleashed their full power.
