Shrek's great explosion

Seemingly noticing Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior, Ma Xiaotao Di Qiu'er were about to ask him something.

Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in their minds.

"Don't make a sound, we're surrounded! Keep going without letting them notice. There are seven of them, and their Soul Power Level is roughly estimated to be above level 70."

Having received the instructions, the two continued walking forward without changing their pace.

Just as the three were about to pretend nothing had happened, a sinister voice came from not far away.

"Heh heh! Little guy, you've figured it out, so stop pretending."

As soon as these words were spoken, seven fierce-looking middle-aged men emerged one after another from the shadows surrounding the three.

"Yuhao, watch out!"

Upon seeing the seven men with ill intentions, Ma Xiaotao Di Qiu'er joined forces to protect Huo Yuhao behind them.

"Wow! There's an unexpected bonus!"

The man in the lead looked at the two women blocking Huo Yuhao with a malicious smile.

Who are you? What do you want?

"What for? We're here to kill that Xiao Bai behind you, of course!"

"Xiao Bai? Me?"

Huo Yuhao pointed to himself, thinking, "Although my skin has become fairer since I obtained the Ultimate Ice, I'm not exactly Xiao Bai, am I?"

"How dare you! Don't you know this is Shrek City? Aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with Shrek?"

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's threatening words, the people around her burst into laughter.

"Afraid? So what? Once we kill you all and run out of the city, do you think your elders will be able to catch us?"

"That's right, the boss is right."

The shortest of them stared at the three with a sinister grin.

"I love seeing the despair in your eyes, you chosen ones. Why is it that you people have better innate Martial Soul and higher Soul Power?"

As he spoke, the man's face grew increasingly ferocious. Unlike his other sworn brothers, although he came from a decent family, his Martial Soul was a dog with only level two Innate Soul Power, which meant that he was nearly thirty years old when his Soul Power barely reached level twenty.

Therefore, he was often ostracized by the more talented members of his clan at home. His parents, too, died because of the bullying they suffered.

In despair, he planned to commit suicide by drinking a bottle of pesticide, but miraculously survived and his Martial Soul mutated. His Martial Soul transformed into a Tibetan Mastiff Entanglement flames, and his talents were greatly enhanced.

From then on, his Soul Power increased rapidly, like a rocket. In just over ten years, his Soul Power reached level sixty, far surpassing that of their family patriarch.

That night, after slaughtering his entire family, he joined the Seven Monsters of Heaven's Turmoil.

But having avenged himself, his personality became increasingly twisted. The scenes of being bullied by geniuses in his early years were still vivid in his mind. Now, one of his greatest pleasures was to let those self-proclaimed geniuses die in despair.

Therefore, the team members were quite serious about this mission to hunt down the geniuses of the Shrek Academy.

"Kid, you'd better surrender obediently. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to your two beauties!"

Just as the seven people were gradually surrounding her, Ma Xiaotao suddenly sprang into action.

"Little Scumbag, get the Phoenix Fire Line!"

A burst of flame, like a beam of light, blasted towards the people blocking their way.

Seeing this, the leader shouted at the man.

"Seventh Brother, get out of the way!"

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Ma Xiaotao's flames, Lao Qi dodged and quickly activated his Blazing Fire Tibetan Mastiff Martial Soul Possession. However, he still endured quite a few of Ma Xiaotao's Soul Skill.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three flew straight towards the empty space in front of them, breaking free from the encirclement of seven people.

Looking at the still-burning flame in his hand and the scorching sensation spreading through his body, he realized that even his Mutated Martial Soul was not as powerful as Ma Xiaotao's flame.

Despite the pain emanating from his body, Lao Qi became increasingly excited.

"Geniuses, you think? Laozi 'll kill you all!"

Before the three of them had rushed out for long, a huge figure descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

When the dust settled, the leader of the seven men was seen standing in a large pit, his body now swelled to three meters tall and radiating golden light.

"Run! Why did you stop running?"

The eldest brother looked at the three silent men in front of him with a mocking expression.

Just as the three were about to run back, they saw six other people surrounding them from behind.

"Little ones? Let's see where you run now!"

This time, the seven people cautiously and slowly surrounded them.

The three people surrounded by them stood frozen in place, seemingly terrified.

Something's not right!

Even after the seven people reached Huo Yuhao and the others, the three remained completely still.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of Soul Power began to emanate from Huo Yuhao's body. Soon after, it also began to emanate from Ma Xiaotao Di Qiu'er were standing nearby.

"Oh no, retreat quickly! They're fast..."

The leader noticed something was wrong and quickly called to the six men behind him.

But before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion came from right in front of them.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion echoed throughout most of Shrek City.

"Huh? Where did this explosion happen?"

Ning Yun, who lived not far from the explosion site at the Nine Treasures Restaurant, heard the loud bang and quickly came out of his room.

"Auntie, what's that?"

Ning Tian pointed to the towering mushroom cloud in the distance.

"Taiqing what kind of Soul Skill someone used!"

Ning Yun stared intently at the site of the explosion with a serious expression, then instructed Ning Tian:

"I'll go see what happened! You stay here and don't come out."

Not long after Ning Yun left, three more red lights rose in the sky not far away.

"Was that a distress signal from a disciple of the academy?"

In Shrek City, Yan Shaozhe, standing in his office, looked at the red signal rising in the sky and muttered an ominous cry.

Currently, among the Inner Court disciples still outside the academy, there are exactly three of them. That only applies to Huo Yuhao and his two companions.

"Hey! Yan Shaozhe, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"

Just as he stepped out of his office, Xuan Zi was standing at his doorway. Xuan Zi was still holding his signature wine Gourd and the chicken leg he had gotten from Huo Yuhao a couple of days ago.

"Xuan Zi, something has happened to one of our students!"

"Um?"

Since Xuan Zi hadn't seen the three distress signals, he only heard the loud bang. At this moment, he seemed nonchalant.

"Who's in trouble?"

"It's very likely Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao."

Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound.

Xuan Zi vanished right before his eyes.

"Then you'd better hurry up and go rescue them. If anything goes wrong with them, I'll skin you alive."

Ever since he ate the chicken leg given to him by Huo Yuhao Freshman Competition, Xuan Zi felt that the chicken legs he ate before were no longer delicious, but tasted like chewing wax.

It tastes exactly the same as before.

Therefore, as soon as Huo Yuhao returned, Xuan Zi couldn't wait to go to Huo Yuhao and ask him for some chicken legs.

Now that he knows someone is trying to take his meal ticket, he's absolutely furious.
