Testing Their Blades After the Immortal Herbs

The next morning, Shrek Academy's courtyard was packed with people. Flender had originally wanted everyone to wait a few days, but Dai Mubai was the first to suggest giving it a try, and Ma Hongjun followed suit.

"I'll try it too, otherwise I'll feel suffocated."

Ning Rongrong hugged the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her eyes still red, but she had already regained her princess-like demeanor.

"I also want to see just how powerful the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but simply stood at the sidelines. Oscar whispered, "I'm in charge of the sausages?"

Yuan Yu came out carrying Wine Gourd: "You're also responsible for watching the show."

Flender frowned. "You came?"

Yuan Yu nodded. "I'll be the target."

Zhao Wuji grinned. "Your target is a bit expensive."

"Don't worry, the Dean won't have to pay for anything if it's damaged."

Flender immediately said, "Then let's fight."

Yuan Yu put the Wine Gourd aside and held the Sun Wheel Blade, still in its sheath, in his hand.

"The rules are simple. You take turns going up, Rongrong can provide support and buffs. Xiao San will give commands. Whoever touches the hem of my shirt gets lunch on me today."

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. "You mean it?"

"Calculate."

Xiao Wu immediately said, "Then I'll go first."

Tang San grabbed her. "Together."

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lit up in Ning Rongrong's palm. The moment the nine-story pagoda appeared, even Zhao Wuji sat up straight.

" Of the Nine Treasures Have Names, the First: Strength."

The light fell on Dai Mubai.

"Second: Speed."

The light fell on Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai was the first to rush out. After White Tiger Possession, his aura was much stronger than before. When the tiger's claws slammed down, the air made a muffled sound.

Yuan Yu didn't take the Hell Stab- on; instead, Wind Pattern lit up as he slid to the side. Dai Mubai was prepared, and his second claw swept across; Xiao Wu used the Blue Silver Grass to spring up from the side, Waist Bow to aim straight for Yuan Yu's shoulder; Zhu Zhuqing was even faster, her Netherworld Thrust coming close to the ground, targeting Yuan Yu's retreat route.

Caught in a pincer movement, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. "The coordination is much faster than yesterday."

Yuan Yu tapped his foot, and Thunder Pattern lit up.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form"

"Thunderclap and Flash."

He didn't rush out, but instead slipped through Dai Mubai's claws. Xiao Wu's foot missed its mark, but Zhu Zhuqing's claw tip grazed Yuan Yu's White-Clad sleeve.

Yuan Yu glanced at it; the cuffs weren't torn.

"Almost."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes grew even colder, but she didn't retreat. In the past, if she missed her first attack, she would often create distance and look for another opportunity, but this time, as soon as her toes touched the ground, her body slid off the ground again.

Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone made her movements lighter and her turns faster. Just as Yuan Yu turned to the side, Zhu Zhuqing's second claw was already at her waist. Yuan Yu pressed down with the scabbard.

Bite.

With a claw tip grazing the scabbard, Zhu Zhuqing used the momentum to flip over and land behind him. Dai Mubai pressed forward again, the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum making his burst of power even more stable. As soon as he activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, the entire courtyard trembled.

Yuan Yu's smile faded slightly.

"Not bad, it's starting to taste good."

Ning Rongrong's third support item landed.

"The Third: Soul."

Her Soul Power was being consumed much faster, but the boost from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was more stable. Ma Hongjun couldn't hold back any longer.

"Phoenix Fire Line!"

The flames shot in from the side. After being washed, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's flames were purer in color, less evil, but hotter.

Yuan Yu's Flame Pattern brightly, and with a flick of his scabbard, the fire was drawn into the air.

"Fatty, the fire's gone."

Ma Hongjun grinned.

"Of course!"

The next moment, his expression changed. Yuan Yu had already appeared in front of him, using the fire line as cover, and gently touched his forehead with the scabbard.

"Too smug."

Ma Hongjun covered his forehead and stepped back.

Oscar handed out sausages to him.

"Replenish your brain."

Ma Hongjun retorted angrily, "You're the one who needs to replenish your brain!"

Oscar may be witty, but he's quick on his feet; he'd already distributed several Recovery Sausage to everyone. Yuan Yu saw this and deliberately took a step towards him, causing Oscar to immediately back away.

"I'm just a support, don't hit me."

Yuan Yu said, "The support role deserves the most attention."

Oscar's expression changed, and he turned and ran. Ning Rongrong immediately spurred him on. Oscar ate his sausage, and his speed was much faster than usual. He ran half a lap around the yard and managed to avoid being caught by Yuan Yu immediately.

Ma Hongjun was stunned.

"Little Ao can run this fast?"

Oscar shouted as he ran, "That's called the dignity of the Food System!"

A Wind Pattern appeared beneath Yuan Yu's feet, and he caught up in three steps, the scabbard gently tapping Yuan Yu's back.

"Dignity was preserved by half."

Oscar lay down on the ground. "I think it's good enough."

Tang San didn't laugh. His Blue Silver Grass had already covered half the courtyard. As soon as Yuan Yu landed, the Blue Silver Grass under his feet suddenly tightened.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attacked simultaneously, with Dai Mubai pressing forward head-on. This round was twice as fast as the first.

Yuan Yu's gaze became more serious, and his Rosy Cloud Pattern brightened.

"Mist Breathing - First Form"

"Sky-Hanging Distant Rosy Clouds."

A pale, shimmering light spread out, separating the True Binding and False Binding of the Blue Silver Grass within the Rosy Glow. Yuan Yu stepped into a gap, causing the Rock Pattern to sink and shaking away the Blue Silver Grass at his feet.

But that was exactly what Tang San wanted. The Blue Silver Grass that had been shaken apart didn't scatter; instead, it bounced up from the ground and wrapped around Yuan Yu's wrist as he gripped the sword.

At the same time, Dai Mubai pressed down with his tiger claws, Ma Hongjun blocked the right side with a fire line, and Zhu Zhuqing cut in from the left rear. Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone down continuously, and the three amplifications of strength, speed, and Soul Power were simultaneously stacked on the group.

Zhao Wuji slapped his thigh in amazement. "Now that's more like a proper team!"

Yuan Yu spun his scabbard, first blocking Dai Mubai. The White Tiger's claw slapped against the scabbard, and his arm trembled; Ma Hongjun swept his fire line along the ground, forcing him to stay to the right; Zhu Zhuqing's claws almost touched the Wine Gourd.

Yuan Yu's eyebrows twitched.

Why are you all staring at my wine today?

Tang San said, "Because you will protect me."

Yuan Yu smiled, "A good plan."

As the Thunder Pattern flashed, he was about to forcefully pull away when Xiao Wu pulled him up again with the Blue Silver Grass. Xiao Wu didn't rush to strike first; she waited until Yuan Yu was protecting the wine, blocking the tiger's claws, and avoiding the fire before she bounced off the Blue Silver Grass that Tang San had thrown out.

This kick wasn't extremely fast, but it was perfectly timed. Zhu Zhuqing's claws approached again, this time not grabbing the sleeve, but reaching for the Wine Gourd.

Yuan Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Zhuqing, you've gone astray."

He reached back to protect the wine, Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to kick the hem of his clothes, causing the hem of his White-Clad to fly up.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment. Xiao Wu landed, hands on her hips.

"We ran into them!"

Yuan Yu looked down at the hem of her clothes. "Doesn't that count?"

Ning Rongrong immediately replied, "Yes."

Ma Hongjun shouted, "That's it! Lunch!"

Flender nodded. "A bet's a bet."

Yuan Yu looked at Tang San, Tang San then withdrew his Blue Silver Grass and said, "We did indeed encounter it."

Yuan Yu sighed, "Okay, lunch is on me."

The crowd cheered. Just then, footsteps came from the gate. Qin Ming stood outside the courtyard gate, completely stunned.

He looked at the nine-story pagoda in Ning Rongrong's palm, then at the Shrek students whose Soul Power was surging.

Am I too late?

Flender smiled smugly, "Not too late, just in time to see us raise prices."

Qin Ming's lips twitched. Looking at the group of people in the courtyard, he swallowed back half of what he was about to say.

This invitation from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy suggests they are demonstrating even greater sincerity.
