Obtaining the Soul Skill Heavenly Demon Hand, Zhao Wuji Comes to Demand Their Release!

Ning Rongrong shook her head gently. "Boss Dai, I know you did your best. It's all right!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Tianyuan inside and muttered, "That guy is too arrogant. When I get home, I'll definitely have my father come teach him a proper lesson!"

"How dare he bully me!"

Ning Rongrong clenched both fists, seething with indignation.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai asked curiously, "Rongrong, is your family very powerful?"

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, a little haughtily. "Of course. If I told you how powerful my family was, you might all be shocked!"

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered, as though something had occurred to him.

Ning Rongrong's martial soul was very special. Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed it on the entire continent, but he had guessed that she might merely belong to a collateral branch.

Now, however, she seemed very likely to be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If that was truly the case, should he choose to pursue Ning Rongrong?

Although Zhu Zhuqing was his childhood sweetheart, perhaps he could use Ning Rongrong for the sake of his future.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supporting him, inheriting the throne might not be beyond his reach!

Dai Mubai lowered his head in thought.

At that moment, Tang San also gave Ning Rongrong a long, thoughtful look.

"Tang San, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at him, sounding a little displeased.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu grew upset as well. "Third Brother, why are you staring at Rongrong?"

Tang San realized something and said awkwardly, "Rongrong, I didn't mean anything by it."

Ning Rongrong waved a hand. "You'd better not."

Xiao Wu was even more displeased. She pouted, her face growing angrier.

She felt that Tang San had changed.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ning Rongrong before turning her gaze to Dai Mubai. Seeing him with his head lowered in thought, her expression grew several degrees colder.

She could tell that Dai Mubai had designs on Ning Rongrong!

For some reason, a wave of sorrow welled up in her heart.

For a while, none of them spoke again. They all fell silent.

People came and went along the street, occasionally casting a few glances their way.

Inside the Heavenly Secrets Tower.

[Ding! The host has completed the task of teaching Tang San a lesson and obtained the self-created soul skill, Heavenly Demon Hand.]

Li Tianyuan's eyes flickered.

Just from its name, he could tell that Heavenly Demon Hand was an extremely powerful combat soul skill.

It had arrived at just the right time.

Before long, a burly man with ordinary features, short hair, and bulging muscles strode over. His imposing presence was formidable, like that of a bear.

A fat boy followed behind him. It was none other than Ma Hongjun.

"Ha ha... what an eye-opener! To think someone in Suotuo City actually dared to hold students of my Shrek Academy captive!"

"Hmph, they simply don't know whether they're dead or alive!"

Seeing the situation outside the Heavenly Secrets Tower, the burly man laughed as he spoke, his booming voice ringing throughout the entire street!

Dai Mubai and the others were overjoyed at the sight of him.

"Teacher Zhao!"

They all bowed to the burly man.

"Little brats, straighten up!"

The burly man waved his hand. There was some anger in his eyes, but even more concern.

Someone had laid hands on Shrek's students in Suotuo City. As a teacher of the academy, he absolutely would not tolerate such a thing.

He was Zhao Wuji, the headmaster of Shrek Academy.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao!"

Dai Mubai and the others straightened up.

"What exactly happened?"

Zhao Wuji looked at them and asked coldly.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward and explained, "Here's what happened, Teacher Zhao..."

She recounted the course of events.

After hearing her out, Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing and said angrily, "You three really have some nerve!"

"You actually dared to run off and cause trouble somewhere else!"

"When we get back, I'll make sure you're punished severely!"

Zhao Wuji had not expected these three girls to act so boldly either.

Feeling a little guilty, Ning Rongrong said, "Teacher Zhao, we didn't do it on purpose. Please be magnanimous and spare us this once!"

"Besides, we didn't succeed. It's all that guy's fault for being unreasonable and insisting on punishing us!"

Ning Rongrong still refused to bow her head.

"Enough. I'll go inside and negotiate with him!"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, then looked at the Heavenly Secrets Tower and strode inside.

Inside the room, a strikingly handsome young man sat before a long table. His magnificent Daoist robes further accentuated his extraordinary good looks, making him seem unrivaled in the world!

By comparison, Zhao Wuji was a crude, shabby fellow.

Zhao Wuji froze for a moment. He had met plenty of people, but this was his first time encountering someone like this.

In terms of good looks, this fellow would absolutely rank first in Suotuo City!

"You must be Mr. Li!"

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands.

"That's right."

Li Tianyuan looked toward him as well. He had already heard the voices outside and guessed this man's identity: Zhao Wuji, the deputy headmaster of Shrek!

A level seventy-six Battle Soul Saint.

"In that case, I won't waste words. Those three are students of Shrek. Although they committed a mistake, they should be handed over to Shrek for punishment!"

"Please release them!"

Zhao Wuji spoke in a booming voice.

He had decided to have Li Tianyuan release Ning Rongrong and the others outright.

As for their punishment, that could wait until they returned.

"No."

Hearing this, Li Tianyuan shook his head gently.

"Why?"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists, his gaze sharpening.

The man before him seemed fairly strong, but as a level seventy-six Battle Soul Saint, he did not take Li Tianyuan seriously.

After all, the other man was so young and so handsome. How powerful could he possibly be?

"They committed an offense, so it's only right that I punish them!"

Li Tianyuan spoke calmly.

Ning Rongrong and the other two had only received a little punishment so far. If he released them just like that, they probably would not learn their lesson and would surely make the same mistake again.

"But they're students of Shrek. You should forgive them this once."

"How about this? To express our apologies, after we return, Shrek Academy will send someone over with a gift to make amends. What do you think?"

Zhao Wuji spoke again.

Shrek Academy was already being extremely courteous.

If the other man still refused to release them, then he would dispense with courtesy.

"You think you can take them away with a single gift? Do you really think this is somewhere you can come and go as you please?"

Li Tianyuan sneered.

"Sir, Shrek Academy has already shown its sincerity. Are you trying to force me to use violence?"

Zhao Wuji barked in a low voice.

As he spoke, an immensely powerful aura surged from his body. His soul power churned, making it clear that he was ready to attack.

"What, you want to fight here?"

Li Tianyuan's gaze turned cold.

Zhao Wuji seemed quite powerful, but before him, he was nothing more than a clay chicken or a pottery dog.

If he truly wanted to fight, Li Tianyuan would not mind giving him a thorough beating.

That would teach Shrek's people what it meant for there to be heavens beyond the heavens and people beyond other people!
