Thought I Couldn't Fly? Wind-Thunder Wings!

The Five-Star Hotel really was different. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was big and soft.

They had even brought over desserts and fruit. The service was excellent.

Lu Ming flopped onto the bed with a thump, and the day's exhaustion vanished.

After a short rest, he went to Xiao Wu and the others' room.

It wasn't out of concern about propriety between men and women. Lu Ming was simply too noble to share a room with peasants like them.

"My Lord~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's golden eyes lit up the moment she saw Lu Ming. Her little paws pattered against the bedding, and her tail wagged so fast it was almost smoking.

Lu Ming nodded slightly and sat in a chair.

Noble, dignified, elegant—it seemed almost innate. After spending so much time with Xiao Xiao, Lu Ming had changed without realizing it.

Xiao Wu gave him a sweet smile and brought him some tea.

"Begin!"

Lu Ming spoke calmly, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded.

She raised her head and cried out. Golden Soul Power enveloped her, gradually solidifying into a Golden Giant Egg!

So this was how Wang Qiu'er took human form back then!

Lu Ming thought to himself as he drank his tea.

Xiao Wu stood obediently to one side, her big eyes blinking. She really did look like a maid.

"Xiao Wu!"

Lu Ming called out suddenly.

"Get me a carrot to eat!"

My Lord wants one of my carrots! I'm so happy!

Delighted, Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled out several carrots, all of excellent quality.

Lu Ming took a bite. It was sweet and crunchy. Raw carrots might actually taste better.

"Huh?"

"Xiao Wu, are you keeping the good stuff for yourself right in front of me?"

Lu Ming pointed at the carrot in Xiao Wu's hand. It was a whole size bigger than his.

Xiao Wu quickly waved her hands and explained, "My Lord, it's not what you think! Bigger carrots aren't necessarily tastier. The one I gave you tastes the best."

Seeing Xiao Wu's little face turn red as she explained, Lu Ming suddenly found it funny.

Of course! Xiao Wu was a rabbit. She could probably tell which carrot tasted best with a single glance!

"Sit down and meditate!"

"If you follow me around while you're this weak, you'll embarrass me."

"Okay!"

Without another word, Xiao Wu sat cross-legged and began meditating. She couldn't hold My Lord back.

Lu Ming stepped behind Xiao Wu and pressed both palms against her back, sending a pure, warm current into her body.

"Feel the path my Soul Power takes, then slowly refine it..."

Shrek Academy, the dean's room.

Flender the profiteer was counting the Gold Soul Coins in a bag, their golden gleam reflected in his glasses. He had squeezed a fine sum out of someone today and was in an excellent mood.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Ma Hongjun's anxious voice came from outside. Flender frowned. What a way to ruin his mood.

He put the Gold Soul Coins in his safe before strolling over to open the door.

"What's got you in such a hurry?"

Ma Hongjun grabbed Flender's hand and hurried toward Dai Mubai's room.

Inside, Dai Mubai's entire head was swollen like a pig's, and blood stained his clothes. He had clearly taken a vicious beating.

Strange. All these injuries came from a single blow, yet there's no residual Soul Power. Did the other person beat Dai Mubai like this with his bare hands?

Flender examined him and clicked his tongue in astonishment.

"Mubai, was the person who hit you a Soul King?"

Dai Mubai shook his head.

"A Soul Emperor?"

Another shake.

"A Soul Sage?!"

Another shake.

Flender's expression changed. Then his opponent was probably a Soul Douluo. He couldn't act rashly!

"Dean, I don't know what his cultivation level is!"

Dai Mubai spoke indistinctly through his swollen lips.

"You..."

Flender suppressed the urge to hit him. "Tell me exactly what happened, from beginning to end."

Tears streamed down Dai Mubai's face. His voice was full of grievance, as though he had suffered the worst humiliation imaginable.

He mumbled through the story...

"Teacher, Boss Dai may have been rude first, but that guy went way too far! Just look what he did to Boss Dai. We at Shrek can't let this go!"

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, itching for a fight. Beside him, Dai Mubai looked aggrieved and clutched Flender with both hands.

"Dean, you have to avenge me!"

Flender gently eased Dai Mubai back onto the bed and adjusted his glasses.

"Hongjun is right. Even if you were at fault first, bullying a Shrek student like this is a slap in the face to me, the Four-Eyed Owl."

Dai Mubai then told Flender where Lu Ming was. There was no time to lose. Flender's Owl Martial Soul appeared behind him, and he spread his wings and soared away.

"A fellow named Lu Ming booked a room here, didn't he? I want to see him!"

"I'm sorry, sir. Our hotel can't disclose guest information. Please—"

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. Seven Soul Rings appeared beneath Flender's feet as he unleashed the full force of his aura.

A Lord Soul Master! And he has seven Soul Rings!

The receptionist's eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the spot.

"Bah!"

Flender snorted and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Lu Ming! I'm Flender, dean of Shrek Academy, and I've come to hold you accountable!"

He carried his voice into every room of the hotel with Soul Power.

Lu Ming was eating a late-night snack. The moment he heard it, he lost his appetite.

"Fuck!"

Heavenly Frost Immortal Sword!

A flash of icy light shot straight at Flender.

Owl Protection!

Flender's senses were sharp. The ice on that sword was no ordinary ice.

Golden Dragon Mount Tai Fist!

Lu Ming's second Blood Essence Soul Ring had granted him this technique. The punch bore down like Mount Tai; even a Soul King would struggle to withstand it.

Flender had barely blocked Heavenly Frost Immortal Sword when the Golden Dragon King's terrifying strength struck him. Both his arms trembled violently.

What kind of monster is this? His Soul Power is only at the Soul Elder level, but his strength rivals Zhao Wuji's!

The punch sent Flender flying out of the hotel, and he took advantage of the momentum to soar into the open sky.

He looked down at Lu Ming.

"Boy, how are you going to hit me up here?"

Flender grinned smugly. That was the advantage of a flying Soul Master. What good was strength if Lu Ming couldn't reach him? All he could do was stand there and fume!

Lu Ming's mouth twitched. Flender's smug face was disgusting. He needed to tear it apart.

Against a Soul Sage, he would have only one chance.

Ice Dragon King Divine Bone, first skill: Ice Spear Piercing Clouds!

This was Lu Ming's only instant-cast Soul Bone skill. It required no charge-up, drained all the Soul Power from his body in an instant, and delivered a killing blow!

Lu Ming aimed skyward. A crystal-blue spear shot out. Flender's eyes widened, but he had no time to react before the ice spear pierced his chest.

Ultimate Ice spread through his body, eating away at him like poison.

He smashed the spear lodged through his chest. With no time to think, he turned and flew away.

I still have a sliver of Soul Power. I have to rip that mouth right off his face!

Lightning flashed, and a pair of enormous wings over three meters wide spread from Lu Ming's back!

Lightning Escape Technique!!!

Flender was stunned. Lu Ming could fly, and at such speed! Even if Flender was badly wounded,

Lu Ming couldn't be in good shape either... could he?!

"Aah!"

Lu Ming's Golden Dragon Claw tore a chunk of flesh from the corner of Flender's mouth. Flender cried out in pain.

He spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and his speed suddenly surged!

Lu Ming dropped from the sky. With his physical strength, landing safely would be a piece of cake!
