The Turtle Came Ashore!

After all, they were both teachers leading their teams, so they ought to show each other some courtesy.

Yet Ye Zhiqiu had never imagined that he was about to face the legendary Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji!

Seeing Zhao Wuji walking toward him, Ye Zhiqiu sensibly withdrew his Martial Soul and said to Zhao Wuji with a smile:

"Hello, I'm Ye Zhiqiu, director of Canghui Academy's Foreign Affairs Department. May I ask who you..."

Before Ye Zhiqiu could finish, Zhao Wuji rudely cut him off, glaring as he said:

"You're the one who bullied my students?"

"Hm?"

Ye Zhiqiu frowned. The teacher leading this Shrek Academy team had no manners either.

Still, he patiently said:

"Actually, it was your academy's students who..."

"A grown man like you-have you no shame?"

"You!"

Ye Zhiqiu's face turned green!

"Can you listen to reason? Your students were clearly the ones who provoked mine first!"

Despite Ye Zhiqiu's furious expression, Zhao Wuji merely sneered before saying:

"I didn't come here to listen to reason in the first place. I'm here to back them up!"

Why did that sound a little familiar to Ye Zhiqiu? Then he saw Lu Qian smiling at him.

It was this brat!

This brat had said something just as pretentious earlier!

They really did come from the same academy. The students behaved like this because their teacher was just the same!

Since reasoning would not work, it was time to talk physics.

Even with the best of tempers, Ye Zhiqiu could no longer hold back. You people from Shrek Academy are simply going too far!

What was more, the seven Canghui Academy students behind Ye Zhiqiu were waiting for their teacher to argue their case.

"Don't give me that! If you've got the guts, then... keep talking this through."

Just as Ye Zhiqiu reached the brink of exploding, he even released his Martial Soul.

However, Zhao Wuji opposite him also slowly released his Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

Ye Zhiqiu watched the Soul Rings rising one after another beneath Zhao Wuji's feet. One, two... seven!

Seven whole Soul Rings!

Ye Zhiqiu had actually encountered a Soul Saint!

Never mind those Canghui Academy students-even Ye Zhiqiu was frightened by Zhao Wuji.

He immediately withdrew the Martial Soul he had just been about to release, and his furious face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile.

A Soul King against a Soul Saint?

Was that not truly failing to understand how the word "death" was written?

The tempers of everyone from Canghui Academy vanished like smoke almost instantly, especially that of their teacher, Ye Zhiqiu.

He had thought this group of students led by Lu Qian was freakish enough, but he had never imagined that the teacher leading them would be even more freakish!

This was a Soul Saint! How many were there on the entire continent?

Seeing how instantly obedient Ye Zhiqiu had become, Zhao Wuji grinned and said to him:

"You were just saying we should talk this through, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded like a chick pecking at grain.

Zhao Wuji laughed twice more.

"Hahaha! Good, then let's go off to the side and talk this through."

"Off to the side?"

Ye Zhiqiu immediately understood Zhao Wuji's intentions. Of course he did not want to go!

Yet just then, Zhao Wuji whispered into his ear:

"Surely you don't want me to make you lose all face right here?"

"Well..."

Faced with Zhao Wuji's threat, Ye Zhiqiu's heart was filled with bitterness.

Why was I so unlucky today?

Yet Ye Zhiqiu could not resist. Since sticking his neck out meant a stroke of the blade and pulling it back meant the same, he ultimately chose to preserve a little dignity for himself.

Zhao Wuji took Ye Zhiqiu to the nearby riverbank to talk things through, while the Canghui Academy students left behind trembled.

This time, Zhao Wuji, too, experienced the pleasure Tang Hao had felt hurting him that day.

Spinning, leaping, he kept his eyes closed~

Again!

Spinning, leaping, he never stopped~

One last time!

The turtle came ashore!

To keep his injuries to a minimum, Ye Zhiqiu had practically curled into a ball. But precisely because of this, Zhao Wuji took a sudden fancy to kicking him straight into the woods on the opposite bank.

"Surely I didn't kick him to death?"

Zhao Wuji laughed, then turned and headed straight back to the hotel.

Lu Qian and the others also returned to the hotel after spending a while frightening those seven Canghui Academy students.

Seeing Zhao Wuji waiting for them on the ground floor, Lu Qian stepped forward of his own accord and said:

"Thank you for backing us up, Teacher Zhao!"

"Exactly, exactly! Teacher Zhao, you're so strong! Their teacher was so scared he didn't even dare let out a fart!"

Ma Hongjun took over the flattery.

"All right, all right, spare me that. Where's that brat Dai Mubai? He didn't even keep an eye on you. Good thing Lu Qian was here."

"But your strength really is lacking. Looks like I'll have to give you some special training when we get back."

"All right, I've vented your anger for you. Now go back to bed."

Sure enough, Zhao Wuji had never once blamed them for provoking a fight. Judging by what he meant, he even seemed to want Lu Qian and the others to deal with Ye Zhiqiu, a Soul King, as well.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wuji got up bright and early and shouted at the top of his lungs to wake everyone else along the way.

Tang San was used to rising early, while Oscar had been too excited to sleep all night, leaving Dai Mubai yawning repeatedly as well.

The girls were all fine and got up one after another. Only Lu Qian had brought his past life's habit of sleeping in with him to the Douluo Continent. In the end, Zhao Wuji had to personally take action to wake him.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's rather terrifying face, Lu Qian thought he was having a nightmare.

The moment he realized it was Zhao Wuji, he rolled out of bed in a flash.

Everyone soon finished breakfast. After leaving the town, they had less than a morning's journey left before they would reach the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Oscar's excitement was practically written all over his face. He was thrilled to be about to obtain his third Soul Ring.

Moreover, Oscar knew that even without his asking, Zhao Wuji would hunt down a thousand-year Soul Beast relatively suited to him.

When Lu Qian truly stood before the Star Dou Great Forest, he could not help marveling at it.

The towering trees here were at least twenty meters tall, and this was only the outermost edge. There was no path at all into the dense forest, and the overlapping shadows of the trees kept anyone from seeing what truly lay within.

"Everyone, stop. Restore your Soul Power to its best condition."

Zhao Wuji suddenly stopped and spoke.

Oscar immediately began chanting his soul incantation, then handed everyone a Soul Power sausage apiece, and they began preparing to formally enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
