When the snipe and clam fought, the fisherman profited.
For the past two days, Tang San had been lying in bed, unable to compete with Xiao Wu.
As a result, even Xiao Wu's benefits were gone.
She was not proactive at all.
Whenever she saw Feng Yang, she was exceedingly polite.
"Teacher Feng Yang, the dean said he was preparing a banquet tonight and asked you to buy a few things."
"Then come with me?"
"I-I'd better not." Xiao Wu lowered her head halfway, appearing very reserved.
"What's wrong? A couple days ago, you were so eager for me to wash your feet. Now you won't even come buy something with me?" Feng Yang said.
"Teacher Feng Yang, Xiao Wu isn't eager like that."
"..."
Seeing Xiao Wu in low spirits, Feng Yang did not feel particularly interested either.
After a conflict like the one with Tang San, she could not possibly adjust her mindset so quickly.
After all, they had once liked each other.
If they had been outright enemies, there naturally would not have been so many emotions and thoughts involved.
"Fine, then."
That unexpectedly moved Xiao Wu. She had thought he would force her to go with him.
She watched Feng Yang's retreating figure.
"Thank you, Teacher Feng Yang."
"..."
Elsewhere.
Master Yu Xiaogang sat beside the bed, looking at Tang San.
"Teacher, you came to see me."
Tang San said.
In truth, the moment he said that, he could already sense that Master Yu Xiaogang no longer cared for him as much as before.
"Yes. How are you feeling?" Master Yu Xiaogang asked.
"Teacher, my body hurts, but my heart hurts even more! Every time I think of Xiao Wu helping Feng Yang eat, and possibly lying beneath Feng Yang and gasping tonight, my heart aches unbearably. I truly wish I could..."
Tang San clenched his fists.
His face twisted.
He was nearly driven mad by jealousy.
"I understand. You still like Xiao Wu very much, but Xiao San, you really should not have had such a conflict with Xiao Wu."
"Why?"
"By tearing things apart like this, Feng Yang is the only one who benefits. First endure it and compromise, then trick Xiao Wu into giving you her body..."
"..."
Tang San's eyes lit up.
"Teacher! Your words have enlightened me completely. It's like waking from a dream!"
"Hehe."
"By the way, Teacher, do you have any way to deal with Feng Yang?"
"I've been thinking about that too. He actually dared to provoke my disciple—I certainly won't let him off easily." Master Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes and spoke with a sharp gaze.
That made Tang San think Master Yu Xiaogang was truly doing this for him.
In reality, it was because Feng Yang's words had wounded Master Yu Xiaogang.
Soul Fighting Arena.
Flender swept his gaze across the seven of them.
"This is your first team match. Whatever conflicts you have among yourselves, put them aside for now. Remember, you represent Shrek Academy. If you lose, you will be punished."
"..."
Flender valued reputation and face above all else.
He only wanted to rise above others.
Soon.
The matched battle began.
Their opponents were the Berserker Team, who had won five consecutive matches.
Their leader was a hulking, muscular man.
His body was as large as three or five of the women beside him combined.
As both sides stepped onto the arena.
Feng Yang, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Master Yu Xiaogang all took their places on the second floor, attaching great importance to this team match.
"The Berserker Team has reportedly won five straight team battles and works together seamlessly. Yet Shrek has been plagued with internal friction. Dean, I'm truly worried that we might not win," Zhao Wuji said.
"Hmph. If they cannot even win this, what kind of monsters are they? And what kind of monster academy would Shrek be?" Flender said.
Feng Yang: "..."
Master Yu Xiaogang stood at the back, looking from Flender to Feng Yang. No one knew what sinister idea he was holding back.
"Team Soul Fight, match four, begin!"
The host shouted.
"Brothers, unleash your martial souls!" Dai Mubai, standing at the front, shouted.
The White Tiger appeared behind him.
His soul rings pulsed rhythmically.
Everyone was astonished.
"Wow!"
"Three soul rings!"
"Several members of Shrek's Seven Devils are actually Rank 30 or above."
"Wait."
"What is that?"
As everyone looked over one by one.
Their gazes landed on Tang San and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
"Huh?"
"A White Soul Ring?"
"And it's his third ring?"
"Hahaha, no way! His third ring is actually a White Soul Ring?"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"What kind of monster is that?"
"I've watched the Soul Fighting Arena for so many years, and I've never seen anyone whose third ring was still a White Soul Ring."
The entire venue erupted in laughter.
"Which academy are they from?"
"Shrek's Seven Devils? Isn't that Shrek Academy?"
"I remember now. It's that unknown little academy in some village."
"No wonder!"
Hearing those remarks.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Master Yu Xiaogang immediately found it hard to save face.
"This Tang San has completely disgraced Shrek Academy! What will people think of Shrek Academy from now on? His Third Soul Ring is actually a single-digit White Soul Ring!" Flender said irritably. "I really can't understand it, Xiaogang. How did you ever accept Tang San as your disciple? Wouldn't word of this ruin our reputation?"
"..."
Master Yu Xiaogang did not defend Tang San.
Because he too felt incomparably ashamed.
At that moment, he understood his family's thoughts more deeply than ever.
Because his martial soul had mutated into Three Roar, a martial soul that attacked opponents by farting, one could imagine how ridiculous and comical it was.
He had been mocked by countless people, and so even his friends and relatives had rejected him.
The laughter around him made Master Yu Xiaogang feel humiliated and ashamed, which was why he had left his family.
Wasn't he feeling the same way now?
Tang San was his disciple. This was truly too humiliating!
And the Berserker Team's mockery became the final straw that broke Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Master Yu Xiaogang.
"Hahaha."
"His third ring is a White Soul Ring!"
"What kind of idiot does it take to pull that off?"
"Did you come here just to make us laugh?"
"Is this Shrek's Seven Devils' strategy?"
"No, wait. Rumor has it that Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. He really is a monster."
"So what kind of monster has a White Soul Ring as his third ring?"
"Hahaha!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Boss, the people on the second floor seem to be Shrek's teachers. Hahaha."
"That's them?"
As gazes drifted upward.
At once.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Master Yu Xiaogang felt too ashamed to show their faces, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
"Ah, this Tang San has not only ruined my reputation in my later years, he may have ruined Shrek's reputation in its later years as well."
"..."
"..."
Flender spoke as he turned away.
"I'm returning to the academy first."
"..."
"Dean, I'll head back too," Zhao Wuji said.
Master Yu Xiaogang hurriedly followed behind him as well.
"Fine. Feng Yang, you stay here and watch," Flender said.
"..."
Sure enough, all the hardest and dirtiest work fell to Feng Yang.
Yet Feng Yang did not feel embarrassed at all. He even wanted to laugh.
Naturally, Shrek's Seven Devils also felt their faces burning.
"Tang San, don't make your soul rings pulse next time. Just stay in the back and watch," Ning Rongrong said.
"Exactly! You've completely disgraced us." Xiao Wu said.
"..."
First he had been called an idiot, and now Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were looking down on him as well.
One could imagine exactly how Tang San felt at that moment.
His face twisted to the extreme!
