The overbearing Black Panther

"Had someone already set their sights on me when I'd only just arrived?"

After sensing the visitor outside with his spiritual power, a flicker of anticipation rose in Dai Mubai's heart.

He wanted to see just what tricks people played in Suotuo City.

The person outside was a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster whom he had seen when checking into the hotel earlier.

Moreover, the attendant who had received them earlier was hiding at the bend in the hotel stairs.

Judging by this setup, the two were clearly in cahoots and plotting something.

Dai Mubai checked again with his spiritual power. Only after confirming that nothing could threaten him did he open the door to receive the visitor.

"Esteemed young sir, please forgive this presumptuous interruption. Allow me to introduce the special services offered by our Rose Hotel..."

The moment the door opened, the Soul Grandmaster bowed respectfully, then began introducing his business.

"That's it...?"

Dai Mubai had thought these people were scheming against him, planning some sort of crook-robs-crook affair.

He had never expected this man to be a middleman.

And their service was the Rose Hotel's exclusive room-call service.

What surprised him most was that the Rose Hotel really did offer variety, even providing crystal ball projections for customers to choose from.

He had to admit, other things on the Douluo Continent might be unremarkable, but when it came to aristocratic entertainment, they were simply peerless.

They could even get in touch with students from Soul Master Academies.

"Find two to come have a drink."

Dai Mubai really did want to see it for himself.

Joining in the fun was fine, but he would pass on going at it with real swords and spears. With his current physique, ordinary Soul Masters simply could not withstand him.

While Dai Mubai leisurely amused himself and enjoyed his time, a battle was erupting at Shrek Academy.

Black Panther's approach to solving problems was simple.

Without another word, he would first crush everyone at Shrek Academy completely. When the time came to discuss His Highness's enrollment, everything would flow naturally, like water finding its channel.

As for Shrek Academy having two Soul Saints, a Soul Emperor, and support-type Soul Masters and the like...

He truly did not take them seriously.

Black Panther was not merely an Agility Attack System Soul Douluo, but also a Power Attack System Soul Douluo.

Most importantly, in his eyes, everyone at Shrek Academy was an amateur without proper training.

He had fought his way up through the army.

Moreover, before heading to Shrek Academy, he had taken the Supreme Purple Zhi bestowed by His Highness. Not only had his injuries healed, but his cultivation had also risen by one level.

"Just who are you?"

"You attacked our Shrek Academy without any cause. Do you really think we're so easy to bully?"

Flender's expression was extremely ugly at that moment.

This Soul Douluo was far too overbearing. He had attacked immediately upon arriving without saying anything.

First, he had ambushed the support-type Soul Master Shao Xin, knocking him unconscious and putting him out of the fight, then defeated Li Yusong.

A dignified Soul Douluo had actually resorted to such despicable tactics as a sneak attack.

Had they not reacted quickly enough, Shrek Academy would already have been wiped out.

Flender racked his brains but could not think when he had ever provoked someone like this.

"If you want to know who I am, we can talk after you're on the ground."

Black Panther said nothing more and simply kept attacking relentlessly.

"Old Zhao, I'll hold him off. Get Old Shao and Old Li somewhere safe first."

Even as Flender endured Black Panther's attacks, he did not forget to tell Zhao Wuji beside him to move Shao Xin and the other man out of the way.

Black Panther did not stop him.

He had not come here to kill anyone. If the Young Master had ordered him to wipe everyone here out, he would have acted long ago, and those two would already have been corpses.

Zhao Wuji did not hesitate either and hurriedly took them away.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"I don't know who you are, but if you really think our Shrek Academy is easy to bully, forget being a Soul Douluo-even if you were a Titled Douluo, you wouldn't leave so easily today."

"Seventh Soul Skill, Cat Owl Avatar!"

After seeing Zhao Wuji take the others away, Flender held back no longer and immediately unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar.

No matter what, he had to hold this fellow here today.

"Martial Soul Avatar?"

"What a foolish move. Instead of keeping strict control over your Soul Power, you recklessly use Soul Skills. Can a headmaster like you really teach good students?"

Facing Flender, who had immediately unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, Black Panther did not clash with him head-on. He simply kept harrying him, keeping him locked down while giving him no chance to leave.

If he had also unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, he would certainly have won easily, but Black Panther did not do so.

After Dugu Bo had taught him a lesson, His Highness had bestowed a supreme treasure upon him, making him clearly understand what his true duty was.

That was to safeguard His Highness. Using his Martial Soul Avatar would leave him weakened to some degree afterward.

Although his Soul Douluo cultivation could greatly reduce that weakness, making the recovery period shorter than a Soul Saint's...

There would still, ultimately, be a period of weakness.

If anything happened to His Highness during that time and he could not respond at full strength, that would be his dereliction of duty and his fault.

"Damn it, damn it..."

Flender felt utterly stifled.

He had thought that using his Martial Soul Avatar would let him break free of his opponent. Failing that, he could at least drain his opponent's Soul Power, then defeat him in one stroke when Old Zhao returned.

He had never expected this fellow to have none of a powerful expert's bearing, sticking to him like an utterly tenacious medicinal plaster.

He would neither fight Flender head-on nor let him leave, constantly entangling him.

It made Flender extremely uncomfortable.

When Flender tried to leave, he discovered that it was already too late.

He had already entered his weakened state.

Before long, Zhao Wuji returned.

Then he saw Flender being beaten without the slightest ability to fight back.

"Boss Fu..."

At the sight, Zhao Wuji did not hesitate at all and immediately used Martial Soul Possession.

Though the move seemed reckless, he had calculated it.

His opponent was ultimately a Soul Douluo, not a Titled Douluo. After defeating Flender, how much Soul Power could he have left?

Under these circumstances, there was still a good chance of defeating him.

But very soon, Zhao Wuji discovered that he was wrong.

Outrageously wrong.

This Soul Douluo actually still had plenty of Soul Power.

His first three Soul Skills could only be considered ordinary, but his later Soul Skills were all extremely powerful and bizarre.

Then Zhao Wuji went down too.

"Who are you? What exactly do you want?"

Flender looked at the man before him, his expression exceedingly ugly.

By now, he had more or less realized that this man had no intention of killing them.

Otherwise, all of them might have died long ago.

The more this seemed to be the case, the less he could understand.

Since this man did not want to kill them, why had he attacked them like this?

What exactly was his purpose?

It was completely incomprehensible.

"Before long, my Young Master will come here to study. I merely came ahead to say hello."

"When the time comes, don't do anything that displeases my Young Master."

"Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Black Panther's voice was very calm, but the threat in his words brimmed with murderous intent.

"Study!"

"You're saying your Young Master is coming here to study, so you beat every one of us up?"

Upon learning that this was actually the reason, Flender was on the verge of tears.

What on earth was this?

He had seen overbearing, unreasonable people before, but never anyone this overbearing and unreasonable.

"Don't think you took this beating for nothing. Don't you advocate that anyone who doesn't dare stir up trouble is mediocre?"

"Aren't I just putting it into practice for you?"

"Remember this: I don't care what you think or how you teach anyone else. Don't even think of instilling that ridiculous philosophy in our Young Master."

Black Panther spoke coldly.

Although he did not know why His Highness wanted to attend this academy, no matter what, His Highness ultimately had his reasons.

He could not change that, so he would avoid every risk detrimental to His Highness's growth as much as possible.

In Black Panther's eyes, Dai Mubai was ultimately still only a nine-year-old boy and would inevitably be taken in by these people's twisted reasoning. That was why he had acted this way.

The person he was responsible for protecting was not merely the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, but also its future crown prince and future Star Luo Emperor.

An emperor had to possess his own independent convictions.

"What, you don't want to let my Young Master enroll?"

Seeing the stubborn, defiant looks in their eyes, Black Panther's expression instantly turned icy.
