Upon hearing Lin Mo's words and seeing the miserable state of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Zhao Wuji's anger surged up instantly.
When has he, the Immovable Wisdom King), ever suffered such a loss?
How can he face others when his own students are beaten up like this in public?
Zhao Wuji's face was gloomy, and the seven Soul Ring beneath his feet shone brightly, indicating that he was about to unleash his power.
" Teacher Zhao, wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Qin Ming quickly stepped forward and stood between Zhao Wuji and Lin Mo.
He knew Zhao Wuji's temper well; if they really started fighting, the situation would be difficult to control.
He quickly said, " Teacher Zhao, don't rush to take action. There's probably more to this than meets the eye. Let's find out what really happened first."
Although Qin Ming hadn't had much contact with Lin Mo, he knew that Lin Mo was definitely not the kind of person who would deliberately cause trouble.
There must be a reason for this.
Zhao Wuji paused, suppressing his anger, and looked at Qin Ming.
He had a deep impression of Qin Ming, his former student, and knew that he was not someone who spoke without reason.
Moreover, when the news of Qin Ming's breakthrough to Soul Emperor reached Shrek Academy a while ago, Dean Flender was so happy that he drank a few more cups, remarking that Qin Ming was the pride of the Shrek Academy.
"Alright, Xiao Ming, I'll give you that face," Zhao Wuji said in a gruff voice.
He released his Martial Soul from his body and retrieved the Soul Ring, but his tiger-like eyes still stared at Lin Mo with hostility.
Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing to the side, had already shrank back quietly when Zhao Wuji revealed his Soul Ring, wishing he could bury his head in his tortoise shell.
Ye Zhiqiu was trying his best to minimize his presence.
He immediately felt a pang of despair.
What was initially thought to be merely a lesson to a few arrogant juniors turned out to attract a Soul Saint.
A powerhouse of this caliber is on par with the dean of their Canghui Academy! This is someone he can't afford to offend.
Meanwhile, seeing that Zhao Wuji seemed to be willing to stand up for them, Ma Hongjun, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have grasped at a straw.
He struggled to grab Zhao Wuji's leg, tears and snot streaming down his face, wailing, " Teacher Zhao! Teacher Zhao, you have to stand up for us! Look at the state of us!"
Is there no justice in this world?! When have we Shrek Academy students ever been bullied like this?!
He cried as he stared at Lin Mo with venomous eyes.
However, in addition to resentment, there was also a subtle Frisk of jealousy.
She was jealous of Lin Mo Mo's handsome appearance, and even more jealous that Lin Mo had two women who were so close to him, both of whom were outstanding in appearance and figure.
His original plan was excellent. Since Lin Mo was a classmate of Tang San and Xiao Wu, it meant that his age should be about the same as theirs.
In terms of cultivation, it's impossible for him to surpass Tang San and Xiao Wu, who possess Innate Full Soul Power. With the power of his Phoenix Martial Soul, dealing with Soul Grandmaster of the same level would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
It was precisely because of this intention, coupled with psychological factors, that I couldn't help but make a few flippant remarks.
But who would have thought Lin Mo would react so strongly, daring to hit him directly? When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Snort!"
Dugu Yan crossed her arms and let out an undisguised snort, not even bothering to glance at him, her eyes filled with disdain.
"You're quite adept at using the tactic of the guilty party accusing the innocent first."
"I don't know which lousy academy produced such a talented student," he said. "He didn't learn anything else, but he's naturally adept at distorting the truth and spewing vulgarities."
Her words were sharp, leaving Shrek Academy with absolutely no face.
Qin Ming frowned and shone his light on Lin Mo. " Lin Mo, you tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you suddenly attack?"
Lin Mo remained calm and, without embellishment, simply recounted the events that had just occurred.
"That's how it is—" Lin Mo added at the end, J
According to their college's doctrine, "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," it seems that if you want them to apologize, you have to defeat them first.
I was just following their "rules."
Towards the end, Lin Mo's tone even carried a hint of innocence, "It's just a pity—"
Hearing this, Qin Ming already understood about 70-80% of what was going on.
He knew Lin Mo's character and believed he wouldn't lie about something like this.
Moreover, he knew Shrek Academy's rule that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," and he had even followed it himself.
I just didn't expect that my two junior classmates would use this "rule" in this kind of situation and run into a brick wall.
Seeing that Qin Ming seemed to believe Lin Mo's words, Ma Hongjun hurriedly shouted, " Teacher Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense! He's the one who's accusing others first!"
He looked down on the Shrek Academy first, so we—"
"Enough!" Qin Ming shouted, interrupting Ma Hongjun.
He took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Wuji, then at Lin Mo and the other two, a troubled expression on his face.
Deep down, he still considered himself a member of the Shrek Academy and naturally didn't want to see his juniors suffer, especially being beaten so badly by "outsiders".
But reason told him that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were indeed at fault first.
After a moment's hesitation, Qin Ming tried to smooth things over. " Teacher Zhao, Lin Mo, I think today's matter—it can be said that the two sides became friends after a fight."
"After all, Shrek Academy was in the wrong first, their words were inappropriate, but Lin Mo, you really went too far."
He looked at Lin Mo and said in a consultative tone, "How about this, let the two junior students apologize for their previous rude remarks?"
Then, let Lengling treat their injuries, and we'll call it even, how about that?"
Before Lin Mo could respond, Qin Ming finished speaking and Dugu Yan sneered.
"Treatment? Why should we back down?" She raised her chin, her eyes sharp as she looked at Zhao Wuji. "With his Soul Saint cultivation, does he think he can bully the weak? Does he dare to make a move?"
"You!" Zhao Wuji was so enraged by Dugu Yan's impolite attitude that his eyes turned red and he was panting heavily. He couldn't help but laugh in anger, "Fine! What a sharp-tongued little girl! I, Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Wisdom King, have dominated the Soul Master World for so many years, and I've never been spoken to like this by a little girl!"
Lin Mo took half a step forward, shielding Dugu Yan behind him, and calmly looked at Zhao Wuji.
"Trying to bully the weak?"
Lin Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, "As long as you're not afraid—that you might also be bullied by others when you're weaker."
He paused for a moment, then pointed to Dugu Yan behind him, "Just a friendly reminder, this person's surname Dugu."
" Dugu?" Zhao Wuji was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically as if he had thought of something.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong, from the Shrek Seven Devils group, whispered, " Teacher Zhao —I think Dai Mubai and Fatty should apologize for this."
After saying that, she quickly stepped forward, moved closer to Zhao Wuji, and said urgently and clearly in a voice only the two of them could hear, " Teacher Zhao, that green-haired girl should be the successor of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and the one holding the begonia flower is the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in this era, and Ye Linyuan is behind her."
Ning Rongrong's voice also carried a hint of amusement, " Poison Douluo —that's Titled Douluo who's notoriously petty, temperamental, and reckless in his actions."
You are people you absolutely cannot afford to offend.
At this point, Ning Rongrong's voice became more cheerful, as she had recently been annoyed by Flender and his group.
She has a chance to win back her lost time, and if she doesn't seize it, she won't be Little Demoness.
Zhao Wuji's angry expression froze instantly, then became incredibly colorful, alternating between blue and red.
A fine layer of cold sweat even seeped from his forehead.
Titled Douluo! Another Titled Douluo!
He had just been "taught a lesson" by that Clear Sky Douluo not long ago and had been bedridden for several days.
Now, they've actually provoked Poison Douluo Dugu Bo again?
Although he considered himself to be quite strong, the gap between him and a true Titled Douluo was like an insurmountable chasm.
He was already on edge after being beaten up by Tang Hao; if he were to offend Dugu Bo as well—
He only wanted to stand up for his students and save face, but he never expected to run into such a tough opponent! These two girls have backgrounds that are more frightening than the other!
Circumstances are beyond our control.
Zhao Wuji felt a tightness in his chest from frustration, but in the end, reason prevailed over impulse.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, especially Ma Hongjun was still clinging to his leg. "Apologize—" Zhao Wuji had to squeeze out the two words through gritted teeth.
Dai Mubai's face flushed red. He had been severely beaten and suffered such a great loss, especially in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
He was naturally extremely unwilling, but the current situation forced him to submit.
"I'm sorry----" Dai Mubai's voice was muffled.
Ma Hongjun was utterly devastated, crying out, "I'm so sorry..."
Lin Mo picked at his ear, his tone flat. "The voice was too soft, I couldn't hear you. I remember you two were shouting quite loudly when you were cursing earlier, weren't you?"
"You!" Dai Mubai suddenly looked up, his eyes almost Spit Up fire, but he forcefully suppressed it.
He took a deep breath and repeated, "I'm sorry!"
Ma Hongjun also loudly repeated it.
Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more.
As for treating their injuries? There's absolutely no need for that. Since they dared to speak so rudely, they should just suffer the consequences themselves!
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun got up, covered in dust, and stood behind Zhao Wuji, their eyes still filled with Spite as they looked at Lin Mo.
Zhao Wuji's face turned ashen, and he didn't say another word.
He led the Shrek Academy students away from this place of trouble without looking back.
Qin Ming watched their departing figures, then glanced at Lin Mo, whose expression remained calm, and at Dugu Yan, whose anger had not yet subsided.
Ye Lingling sighed helplessly.
"Let's go back to the restaurant first." He waved his hand, his feelings complicated.
