The Bigger Fist Has the Final Say
The leader, dressed in a purple prince's robe, had a dignified face, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly with every step he took.
Behind him followed three elderly men, their auras as deep and profound as the sea; they were none other than the Three Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, Bai Baoshan.
Prince Xue Xing.
He stood at the top of the steps, his gaze sharp as a knife, slowly sweeping over the Shrek Academy members before finally settling on Dai Mubai.
"The ones who hit my grandson," his voice wasn't loud, but it carried the oppressive aura of Soul Saint, like a mountain crashing down, "Are you?"
Flender's expression changed drastically.
Yu Xiaogang gripped the notebook tightly in his hand.
Zhao Wuji stepped forward, his Soul Power quietly circulating.
Prior to this, Xue Mingyan's henchmen split into two groups after he was beaten.
Some followed him to search for the Xue Beng, while others scrambled and stumbled towards the Education Commission building. Just as they reached the corner of the corridor, they bumped into Prince Xue Xing was walking slowly towards them.
The boys knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, and began to weep and plead their case in a cacophony of voices.
"Someone hit Young Master Mingyan..."
"They were just a few wild boys in tattered clothes..."
"Teacher Qin Ming is still protecting them."
Prince Xue Xing paused in his steps.
Although his title has not yet been revealed, he is already Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
His Martial Soul is the Snowfeather Swan of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and his Soul Rings are two yellow, two purple and three black. However, he is not good at Power Attacks, but is good at speed, Illusion and pressure. He is known for his elegance and composure.
But at that moment, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
If the eldest grandson is beaten, how can he save face in the royal family if he swallows this insult?
"Lead the way."
He only said two words. Behind him, the Three Education Committee Members, Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Bai Baoshan, exchanged glances. Although they felt it was inappropriate, they ultimately did not dissuade him and accompanied him.
Thus, the scene of overwhelming pressure unfolded on the long staircase.
At this moment, Soul Power surged behind him, and the phantom of the Snowfeather Swan slowly unfolded. With a gentle flap of its wings, Illusion- like chill spread, causing everyone present to feel a tightness in their chests.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Dai Mubai, his voice low but each word as cold as ice.
"You're the ones who hit my grandson?"
An oppressive aura descended like a mountain, enveloping Flender and the others.
Zhao Wuji was the first to give in, letting out a muffled groan as spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath his feet.
He gritted his teeth and raised his Soul Power Shield, but was still forced to take half a step back, veins bulging on his forehead.
Although they were both Soul Saints, Prince Xue Xing possessed Soul Power of seventy-nine. Even if he wasn't skilled in attack, the combined pressure of being a superior and the strength of a Soul Saint was enough to make them uncomfortable.
"Old Zhao!" Flender shouted, his Owl Martial Soul instantly possessing him, his wings spreading out to shield the students behind him from a layer of pressure.
Yu Xiaogang's face was pale. His Soul Power was not high to begin with, and he was having difficulty breathing at this moment, but he still held the notebook in his hand tightly... It was the crystallization of his life's work, more important than his life.
Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were pale, Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, Xiao Wu stood in front of Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her cat-like eyes, her Soul Power flowing around her, yet she remained calm and composed.
Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed with cold light, and he quietly activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, but he was still forced to have his blood and qi surge due to the layers of Illusion pressure.
Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eyes at full power and barely managed to make out the flow of Soul Power of the Snowfeather Swan phantom behind Prince Xue Xing. He was secretly shocked... This prince did not focus on Power Attack, but was good at Illusions and pressure, and was most adept at wearing down his opponent's mind.
Qin Ming stood on the steps, his face ashen.
Although he was a college teacher, he was ultimately inferior to the prince.
He took a deep breath, about to plead for mercy...
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Qin Ming? What's wrong, making a fool of yourself again?"
A charming voice came from the other end of the corridor.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Su Yao wore a red dress, her waist was slender, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Several students from the Heavenly Apex Class followed behind her, strolling slowly towards them. Her gaze swept over the Shrek Academy students, finally settling on Qin Ming's ashen face, a smug smile playing on her lips.
"Teacher Qin Ming," Su Yao chuckled, covering her mouth, "This is the kind of person the 'genius' you went to so much trouble to recruit? He doesn't even give His Highness the Prince any face, and he even dares to hit someone at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
Anger flashed in Qin Ming's eyes. "Su Yao, you have no right to speak here."
"What do you mean, 'no'?" Su Yao raised an eyebrow, turned to Prince Xue Xing, and gave a graceful bow. "Your Highness, these amateurs beat up your grandson and damaged the reputation of the Heaven Dou Team. We can't just let this go, can we?"
Prince Xue Xing narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
He also knew something about Su Yao and Qin Ming's relationship.
Especially after Su Yao mentored Ning Chengyi, who was like a prodigy, Qin Ming became even more displeased. Su Yao had done a lot of work to get Qin Ming to teach ordinary classes because of the Imperial Fighting Team's failure.
Therefore, seeing the two of them like this, he was not shocked at all, but rather looked on with a hint of amusement.
Su Yao's eyes darted around, and she continued, "In my opinion, it would be better to let the Heavenly Apex Class and the Shrek Seven Devils have a friendly spar. A week from now, right here in the Academy Martial Arts Arena, with no regard for life or death... oh no, I mean, just a friendly match. If Shrek wins, His Highness the Prince's anger will naturally subside; if the Heavenly Apex Class wins..."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the Shrek students, a smile playing on her lips:
"Then please, you lot, get out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"And how about apologizing to His Highness and the others?!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Flender's face darkened. "Are you forcing a fight?"
"You're joking," Su Yao said, spreading her hands. "It's just a friendly spar. Besides, I heard from Teacher Qin Ming that Shrek Academy, which he graduated from, is known for 'only accepting monsters, not ordinary people.' How come they don't even dare to accept a single spar?"
Dai Mubai sneered, and before Flender could reply, he spoke first, "Fine, I'll accept it. Are you afraid of me?"
Tang San frowned slightly, about to speak, when he saw Su Yao's gaze fall on him, with a hint of scrutiny and a touch of amusement.
"You're Tang San?" she said softly. "I heard you made quite a splash in the Preliminaries. I hope you'll impress me in a week."
Zhu Zhuqing stood at the back of the crowd, her cat-like eyes slightly lowered, but a slight stirring ran through her heart.
The Heavenly Apex Class... just how strong is this Heavenly Apex Class she's talking about?
Will he be in the Heavenly Apex Class?
Qin Ming stood to the side, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He had intended to use this opportunity to allow the Shrek Seven Devils to interact with the academy, but he didn't expect that it would cause trouble before they even entered.
If Shrek Academy weren't disqualified from participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, this crazy woman wouldn't have a say in the matter.
With Su Yao's arrival, the previously tense situation began to ease.
Xue Beng gave Su Yao a grateful look, while Xue Mingyan stood behind and dared not make a sound. In the end, it was Prince Xue Xing spoke up.
All that could be heard was his deep voice, as he slowly spoke:
"One week later, at the Martial Arts Arena."
His gaze swept over the Shrek Devils, his purple Soul Power slowly receding, yet still carrying an undeniable aura of power.
"If you lose, do as Su Yao says. If you win..." He paused, a cold smile playing on his lips, "I will personally apologize to you."
After saying that, he turned and left, followed closely by the Three Education Committee Members.
Xue Mingyan clutched his chest, glared fiercely at Dai Mubai, and then followed him away.
On the steps, only the Shrek members and Qin Ming and Su Yao's groups remained.
A wind blew in from below the long steps, carrying a hint of desolation.
In this world, might makes right.
As Su Yao passed by Qin Ming, she deliberately paused and whispered, "Teacher Qin Ming, don't lose again this time!"
Qin Ming clenched his fists, but remained silent.
Flender took a deep breath, turned to look at the Shrek Seven Devils, and said in a deep voice:
"One week to prepare for battle."
Dai Mubai flexed his wrists, a fighting spirit rising in his wicked eyes.
Tang San's gaze was calm, his Purple Demon Eyes flickering slightly, as if he were plotting something.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes, but secretly pondered in her heart.
"I don't know if we can find him, but we can try to find that person named Dugu Yan first."
