Immortal Senior, Run! Zhao Wuji Is Coming to Settle the Score with You!

The next day, around noon, Dai Mubai finally came out for lunch because he could no longer endure his hunger.

Only then did Shrek's teachers and students notice the injuries all over him.

Shrek Academy's cafeteria was extremely simple, practically built in the open air. Shao Xin, the academy's food-type teacher, did the cooking. Meals were provided daily according to demand for a fee, usually cabbage, pork, and eggs, with candy beans for dessert.

Compared to those foods, Xiao Wu still preferred gnawing on carrots. Seeing the normally overbearing Dai Mubai injured, she could not help teasing him.

"Dai Mubai, who beat you up? Your face is all swollen, and you even lost two front teeth. That's so funny, hahaha."

"Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense. Boss Dai is a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder. Who could beat him up?"

Tang San stuffed two carrots into Xiao Wu's bowl, trying to shut her up.

"Yeah, exactly. Boss Dai's soul skills are so powerful. Based on my observations and understanding of Teacher Dai's soul skills, I think those injuries look like they were caused by his own soul skill."

Oscar shoveled a huge mouthful of rice into his mouth and said smugly from the side.

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes.

"Dai Mubai, do you have nothing better to do after eating? You used your soul skill on yourself?"

With Xiao Wu and Oscar trading jabs at him, Dai Mubai felt worse than if he had swallowed a fly. He shot them both a fierce glare.

Oscar immediately looked away and hurried to focus on eating. As a food-type soul master, he could not afford to provoke Dai Mubai.

Xiao Wu merely curled her lips in disdain. She had never liked Dai Mubai much to begin with, but at Tang San's signal, she still chose to keep quiet.

"You trash, you got beaten up and didn't say a word? That doesn't suit your personality, Mubai."

"If it were me, I'd have gone straight to their door and beaten them until even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them!"

"It's already good enough if people from Shrek Academy don't beat others up. Getting beaten up ourselves? That's an utter disgrace."

Zhao Wuji emerged from the cafeteria shed carrying a huge basin of food, looking incredibly imposing.

After Zhao Wuji said that, Dai Mubai's expression turned even uglier.

"Sooner or later, I'll make her pay!"

Ma Hongjun ate like a pig. He raised his head from his bowl, the food in his mouth not yet fully swallowed.

"Teacher Zhao, you can't really blame Boss Dai. That girl from Immortal Mountain has a very strange Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda. It actually reflected Boss Dai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave."

"And that teacher from Immortal Mountain is very strong too. I got beaten up badly by him last time. We should stay away from Immortal Mountain in the future. That place isn't easy to provoke."

"Bullshit! You two cowards got scared off after one beating? And by a Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda... What? A Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda? A support-type soul master?! You got beaten into this state by a support-type soul master? Are either of you good for anything?"

Zhao Wuji snorted.

"Immortal Mountain, huh? I've heard of the place lately too. It's been extremely popular in Suotuo City recently. Many students have gone there to study, stealing all of Shrek Academy's prospective students."

"As a result, the academy's income has been dropping, and the food has been getting worse and worse."

"I refuse to believe that a support-type soul master can fight two beast-spirit masters from the assault type like you. There must be something fishy going on. Come on, I'll take you there to win back our honor and smash Immortal Mountain's signboard."

"Really? Teacher Zhao, get them!"

"Destroy Immortal Mountain!"

Ma Hongjun had been waiting for Zhao Wuji to say exactly that.

Teacher Zhao was a level seventy-six Battle Soul Saint.

There were few opponents for him in all of Suotuo City. Within Shrek Academy, only Headmaster Flender was stronger than him.

Although the teacher from Immortal Mountain had given Ma Hongjun an unfathomable feeling, Su Chen looked so young, only around twenty. His realm could not possibly be higher than Teacher Zhao's, could it?

"I, Zhao Wuji, the Unmovable King, always keep my word. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Immortal Mountain? I've heard of it too. They say there's an immortal there who's incredibly handsome. Third Brother, let's go take a look too."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she spoke to Tang San.

Tang San nodded. "Then let's go take a look. I also want to know how a support-type soul master defeated Boss Dai."

"According to Teacher's theory, that should be impossible."

"Yay~"

Just as Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai rubbed their fists together and followed Zhao Wuji out.

A curvaceous black-haired girl approached them and blocked their path.

"Teacher Zhao, you can't go."

"It was Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun who caused trouble at Immortal Mountain. They wanted to smash their Detection Platform and steal their students. In the end, they couldn't beat the other side and got taught a lesson."

"Is that so?"

"So what? Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

"If your classmates can't win, you should help each other and beat the other side into submission."

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, unconcerned with who was right or wrong.

"Wait, Zhu Zhuqing, how do you know all this so clearly? We never told you, did we?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously.

"I saw it with my own eyes," Zhu Zhuqing said flatly.

"You were at Immortal Mountain too? Then why didn't you help us!"

"You just stood there and watched Boss Dai get beaten?"

"Do you even have any sense of camaraderie?!"

"I..." Zhu Zhuqing was left speechless.

Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened as well. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, he asked in a low voice.

"You were really there?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Yes."

"Good. You did very well."

At those words, Dai Mubai's anger immediately flared up.

He was angry that Zhu Zhuqing had not helped, and even more humiliated that his fiancée had seen him make such a fool of himself.

"Zhuqing, this is your fault. No matter what, you're teammates. When a teammate is in trouble, shouldn't you stand with your teammate?"

"I know you've always liked to be alone and have a withdrawn personality, but if you're not of one mind with everyone else, then you aren't suited to remain at Shrek Academy."

Facing everyone's aggressive stares, Zhu Zhuqing could not help recalling what Su Chen had told her beneath Immortal Mountain's moonlight.

—Never place your hopes on others.

At that moment, she understood it deeply.

Strength. Strength was what made reason.

With strength, even without reason, one could fight their way into having it.

Without strength, even with reason, one would not dare speak of it.

"Then I'll withdraw and cultivate on my own!"

Zhu Zhuqing had barely any belongings with her to begin with, so she did not even need to pack. She turned and left.

"Did I hear that right? Zhuqing really wants to withdraw?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Dai Mubai said irritably, "Ignore her. She has nowhere to go. She won't really withdraw."

If she had somewhere else to go, why would she have fled from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire to find him?

"Let's go. We'll head to Immortal Mountain first. Once we beat Immortal Mountain into submission, she'll know who was right and who was wrong."

"Truth depends only on whose fist is harder."

Zhao Wuji said this while clenching his rough, hard fist.

Meanwhile.

With her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul possessed, Zhu Zhuqing had already reached Immortal Mountain ahead of them.

She found Ning Rongrong, who had just finished physical training and was drenched in sweat.

"Rongrong, hurry and run with the Immortal Senior! Dai Mubai and the others are coming with Zhao Wuji to settle the score with you!"
