Dugu Yan Yan's green eyes, however, held no hint of a smile.
"I just heard that your college seems to have some rule that 'only the mediocre dare not cause trouble'?"
Dugu Yan tilted her head, her tone undisguisedly mocking, "Coincidentally, I'm not in a very good Tianxin either."
If you want to keep causing trouble, I'd be happy to oblige.
Before she finished speaking, a bright green light rose from her body.
Dugu Yan's figure grew slightly taller, and fine, dark green dragon scales emerged from beneath her skin. Her eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and her hands into Dragon Claw.
It exuded a chilling aura along with a faint, sweet, fishy smell.
The Jade Phosphor Dragon Martial Soul has been successfully infused.
Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring rose up one after another from beneath her feet, pulsating rhythmically.
Almost at the same time, Ye Lingleng also took half a step forward and stood quietly beside Dugu Yan.
She didn't say much, but simply raised her slender hand slightly.
A soft pink light shone forth, and she held a pink and white crabapple blossom in her hand, the blossom exuding a rich sense of Life.
The same two yellow and two purple Soul Ring quietly surrounded the begonia flower.
Another Soul Ancestor!
Dugu Yan immediately adopted a stance that said, "If you dare to make a move, I will immediately use poison."
Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions immediately became extremely serious.
They never expected that the two seemingly beautiful girls beside Lin Mo would possess such terrifying strength!
Judging by his age, he seems to be around the same as Dai Mubai, but his cultivation has already reached the Soul Ancestor realm!
Although it's unclear what Martial Soul they each possess, judging from the aura they exude, one is offensive and the other is healing, making them a perfect match.
Even if all of the Shrek Seven Devils were in perfect condition, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage with such a combination, let alone now that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are already injured.
For a moment, no one on Shrek's side dared to make a move.
Ning Rongrong, who had been silently observing from among the group, trembled violently when she saw the Nine Heart Begonia in Ye Lingleng's hand and the unique emerald scales on Dugu Yan's body.
Those bright, large eyes widened instantly, a hint of undisguised astonishment flashing deep within their pupils.
She recognized him.
Aren't those two Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling? What are they doing here? And with Tang San and Xiao Wu's former classmates?
Zhao Wuji was originally watching the play on the second floor of another restaurant, couldn't stay still any longer.
He knew about the conflict between the Shrek Seven Devils and Canghui Academy.
He even knew about the fight between the Shrek Seven Devils and Ye Zhiqiu, the head of the outer academy of the Canghui Academy and the Soul King the Black Tortoise.
However, he also wanted to see just how good these Little Monster really were. Before they really suffered any losses, he would definitely take action to stop Ye Zhiqiu, the Black Tortoise Soul King, on the other side.
After all, Zhao Wuji's main mission in coming here was to protect these little guys from harm during the Soul Hunting process.
But who would have thought that Lin Mo and his two companions would suddenly appear, disrupting the rhythm of the battle and even starting a fight over a single word.
What Zhao Wuji found most unbearable was that not only did the two sides start fighting, but the person who got beaten up was actually from the Shrek Academy.
Zhao Wuji leaped directly from the second floor and rushed towards where Lin Mo and the other two were.
His massive body landed with a dull thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of another restaurant.
Yu Feng was leaning against the window, looking down. When he saw the scene in the open space in the distance, he immediately started shouting.
" Teacher Qin! Boss! And the big sister and the others—they've gotten into a fight with someone else!"
Upon hearing this, the others who were dining, including Qin Ming, immediately became interested and peeked out to look at the scene in the distance.
Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Osler also squeezed to the window.
They spotted Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling standing in the center of the room at a glance.
The four gleaming Soul Ring beneath their feet were particularly conspicuous in the dim night.
What surprised them even more was that Lin Mo was whipping the two unfamiliar teenagers back and forth like spinning tops, one in each hand.
Even though the two had released their Martial Soul —one with flames burning on his body and the other having completed the White Tiger Possession —they were still powerless against Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's movements were crisp and swift; each strike landed precisely on his opponent, producing a clear, sharp cracking sound.
Those two couldn't even parry, let alone fight back. They could only barely muster their protective Soul Power, but they were still beaten badly.
After Qin Ming clearly saw the situation below, he secretly cried out in alarm and immediately felt extremely distressed.
Didn't he just tell Lin Mo and the others not to get involved in the conflict between the Canghui Academy and that group of unfamiliar Soul Master?
Why did he start hitting himself?
And judging from the way they were acting, they weren't going to hold back.
Qin Ming didn't even have time to call out to Yu Tianheng and the others. In a flash, he jumped out of the second-floor window to stop Lin Mo and the others.
He had to get there as soon as possible, otherwise things would get out of hand.
While Qin Ming was setting off, Zhao Wuji had already arrived at the Shrek Seven Devils' location.
His towering figure stood like a wall between Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the Shrek members.
Zhao Wuji's gaze first swept over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
When he saw clearly the ages of the two women and the four Soul Ring —two yellow and two purple—at their feet, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately became extremely vigilant.
These two girls looked to be about the same age as Mubai.
To possess the cultivation level of Soul Ancestor at this age, and with the optimal Soul Ring configuration, one's background is definitely extraordinary.
It is definitely not something that a small Canghui Academy can compare to.
Zhao Wuji was quickly calculating in his mind.
There are only a handful of forces on the entire continent capable of cultivating geniuses of this caliber. They are either the Upper Three Sects, the Spirit Hall, or the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire kingdoms.
Neither side is someone a mere Soul Saint like him can easily provoke.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo was still whipping Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
He naturally sensed Zhao Wuji's undisguised actions.
But Lin Mo had no intention of stopping.
Zhao Wuji is not Tang Hao.
If you really piss him off, he and the Charizard aren't incapable of taking down Zhao Wuji.
Besides, he was in the right.
It was Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai who spoke rudely first, so it was only natural for him to teach them a lesson.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo intensified his movements.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai could no longer even scream; they could only utter muffled whimpers.
Both of them were swollen all over, and their faces were so fat they looked like pig heads.
Those were slaps delivered by Lin Mo, each one imbued with dragon flame, relentlessly.
Their bodies were covered in Burn marks, and their clothes were burned with charred holes, revealing the red, swollen, and ulcerated skin underneath.
The injuries were extremely severe.
Zhao Wuji watched this scene, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water.
"Stop!" Zhao Wuji shouted, his voice filled with obvious anger.
Although he was wary of the forces behind Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, he couldn't just stand by and watch his students be used as punching bags.
The moment Zhao Wuji finished speaking, Qin Ming arrived.
After landing, Qin Ming's gaze quickly swept across the entire arena.
When he saw the burly figure standing in front of the Shrek team, he was first stunned, then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He spoke quickly, his voice filled with urgency and surprise. " Teacher Zhao? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Wuji turned his head upon hearing the sound and looked at Qin Ming.
When he saw Qin Ming's face clearly, he was also taken aback, and then said in a gruff voice, " Xiao Ming? It's you?"
Zhao Wuji clearly recognized Qin Ming as well.
Qin Ming strode up to Zhao Wuji and bowed slightly. " Teacher Zhao, it's been a long time."
His tone was respectful, but one could hear a very obvious anxiety in his voice.
Zhao Wuji nodded, which was considered a greeting.
He pointed at Lin Mo, his tone unfriendly. " Xiao Ming, did you bring this guy? He's really ruthless."
Qin Ming shook his head, gave a wry smile, and didn't reply. Then he turned to Lin Mo and said in a deep voice, " Lin Mo, stop!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo stretched and stopped what he was doing.
He casually tossed the limp Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai to the ground, as if he were just throwing away two bags of trash.
The two men were so badly beaten by Lin Mo that they didn't even have the strength to get up. They could only lie on the ground, groaning in pain.
Lin Mo patted non-existent dust off his hands and turned to look at Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming.
His gaze slowly swept over the seven Soul Ring at Zhao Wuji's feet: two yellow, two purple, and three black— Quasi-Soul Saint Soul Ring Configuration a Soul Saint.
Upon seeing the color of the Soul Ring beneath Zhao Wuji's feet, Lin Mo showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a faint smile curved his lips.
He lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Wuji, his voice calm but carrying an undisguised sarcasm. "What? I beat up the young one, and now the old one has come?"
Lin Mo paused, then looked at Zhao Wuji. "Is your academy's tradition simply to bully the weak?"
