"Xiao Wu? Wh... why?"
After taking a savage beating, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, his eyes full of confusion.
She had taken the money and run off that day. He had still wanted to ask her what had happened.
Now that he had finally managed to see her again, she had beaten him up without a word.
He felt as though he had almost been crippled!
"Hmph! Tang San, put away that hypocritical act. You're not worth a single hair on my landlord's head!"
Xiao Wu spoke with a look of disgust.
"Xiao Wu! You actually dare show your face? Shrek Academy taught you to cultivate and treated you so well, yet you turned around and ran off to Maple Forest Evening! Is this how you repay your teachers for nurturing you?"
Dai Mubai was furious. He had suffered terribly at Maple Forest Evening; even his backside had been roasted.
Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing had actually shown that kind of expression toward Maple Forest Evening's landlord!!
After Tang San and Xiao Wu lost to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong at the Soul Fighting Arena, her Martial Soul had been exposed.
Only then had Dai Mubai realized that Zhu Zhuqing was the little kitty betrothed to him, the one who could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him!
Zhu Zhuqing could only belong to him.
Yet Xiao Yexuan had lured her away.
Now, whenever he saw anyone from Maple Forest Evening, his temper flared, and he wanted to vent all his desire and violence.
"Heh, you? Your Sister Xiao Wu has never been afraid of anyone!"
Xiao Wu crooked a finger at Dai Mubai provocatively.
Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast. She could condense her own Soul Rings.
So, after absorbing the Mystic Water Pill and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, she had condensed her third Soul Ring herself.
Her Soul Skill was still Teleportation.
Now, she felt that her strength was not the least bit inferior to that little tiger Dai Mubai's.
"What shameless boasting! Don't think you can challenge this young master just because you've become a Soul Elder too!"
Dai Mubai spoke with utter disdain.
"Mubai, what are you doing? She's my little sister. I won't allow you to hurt her!"
Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to fight Xiao Wu, Tang San hurriedly struggled to his feet and stood between them. Then, with a gentle expression, he said to Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly run off to Maple Forest Evening that day?"
Xiao Wu paid Tang San no mind. With a single Teleportation, she appeared behind Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai shuddered and hastily tried to defend himself.
But he was already too late.
Xiao Wu kicked him into the air with Waist Bow.
Then came a short, brutal, yet fluid combo.
But before Xiao Wu could finish, her body suddenly grew heavy.
Zhao Wuji had made his move.
His student was getting beaten so badly. If he did not intervene, there would have been no point in coming out this time.
The power of a Soul Saint was terrifying indeed. Xiao Wu dropped to one knee, crushed beneath the pressure until she could barely breathe.
"Teacher Zhao, no! She's my little sister! Stop! Don't hurt her!"
Tang San continued shouting frantically.
Hurting his Xiao Wu was like taking his life.
Yet at that moment, Tang San merely shouted. He did not use hidden weapons to oppose Zhao Wuji.
"Tang San... I don't need you to plead for me! And I'm not your little sister. You... you're not worthy!"
Xiao Wu bared her teeth, filled with resentment.
Then, as though something had occurred to her, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she deliberately provoked Tang San:
"Hmph! I, Xiao Wu, only have one... brother now, and that's my landlord brother! What the hell are you, thinking you can be... my brother? You're... you're not even worth one of my landlord brother's... farts!"
Tang San clenched his fists at her words.
Xiao Wu had betrayed him. She already had a way to court death!
Xiao Yexuan had seduced his Soul Ring and Soul Bone. He already had a way to court death!
But he could not lash out yet. He merely gazed at Xiao Wu with a heartbroken expression, like an abandoned kitten, a sight that stirred pity.
Ma Hongjun's heart trembled at the sight.
Hiss...
Tang San looked so pitiful like this, so enticing that Ma Hongjun felt an urge to go over and cherish him properly.
"Cough, cough! Little San, she's no longer your little sister. There must be something in Maple Forest Evening that controls people's minds. Let's capture her first. Once we get back, we'll have the dean figure something out! Cough, cough..."
Dragging his badly injured body, Dai Mubai stared at Xiao Wu with immense resentment as he spoke.
With Zhao Wuji's help, they would capture Xiao Wu today. Then he would see just how thoroughly he could torment him!
Zhao Wuji slowly approached Xiao Wu, increasing the gravity pressing down on her.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just then, several blades of ice suddenly shot toward him.
At the same time, a light fall of goose-feather snow drifted down from the sky, and the temperature instantly dropped below freezing.
"What... what Soul Skill is this? My Gravity Control?"
Zhao Wuji was deeply shocked. The moment the ice and snow struck, his Gravity Control was instantly suppressed.
Freed, Xiao Wu flickered and appeared behind Dai Mubai again.
This time, no one could stop her.
Dai Mubai was beaten until blood sprayed from his head.
He nearly died.
"Boss Dai, hang in there! Boss Dai!"
Oscar summoned sausages, afraid that Dai Mubai would die.
He kept feeding them to him.
Feeding me like this?
Dai Mubai felt utterly humiliated and was nearly driven half to death with rage.
But his entire body was in agony.
The slightest movement hurt unbearably.
He could only turn his hateful gaze toward the people approaching from a distance.
They were Xiao Yexuan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Ellen, and the others.
When Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing holding the Little Snow Maiden, chatting and laughing with Xiao Yexuan with a loving expression on her face,
the scene looked exactly like a family of three.
Rage surged into Dai Mubai's heart. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the spot.
He could not get up again.
"Boss Dai! You... you can't die! Boss Dai! Little San... Little San, don't you know some medicine? Hurry over and give Boss Dai mouth-to-mouth!"
Oscar was closer to Dai Mubai, after all. They had lived together for many years.
He truly cherished this boss of his.
So he grabbed Tang San, wanting him to help treat Dai Mubai's injuries.
Tang San's mouth twitched. Mouth-to-mouth?
Was Dai Mubai even worthy?
His father was a Titled Douluo, and he himself was the son of a Titled Douluo. His status was incomparably noble. He would never lower himself for Dai Mubai.
Still, Tang San put on a kindly smile, checked Dai Mubai's pulse, and said, "He's only fainted. He'll be fine after resting for a while."
"Little fellow, you're Maple Forest Evening's landlord!"
Zhao Wuji watched Xiao Yexuan approach slowly, his expression hostile.
It was all because of Maple Forest Evening. Their academy had finally managed to recruit two female students, only for both to be lured away within a few days.
Now, Dai Mubai and Tang San had also been badly injured by Xiao Wu.
More importantly, if Tang Hao learned that he had failed to protect Tang San, he would inevitably receive another beating.
"Heh... it's quite lively here. I am Chao Tianxiang. I have no interest in meddling in your personal grievances. Could you give us that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? We've been chasing it for several days."
Just as the two sides were about to break into an all-out fight,
Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang intervened with her young granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
The sudden arrival immediately put the people from Shrek Academy on edge.
The newcomers were an old woman and a young girl.
Snake Granny looked to be in her sixties or seventies, her white hair combed impeccably. Despite her advanced age, she was remarkably hale and spirited.
Beside Snake Granny stood a pretty young girl.
She had short, ear-length hair and looked about sixteen or seventeen. Her neat, practical outfit closely hugged her well-developed figure.
Her large, dark brown eyes were fixed on the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent lying beside Xiao Yexuan.
"Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang? You're one of the Peerless Dragon Snake!"
Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted.
He did not care about that brat Xiao Yexuan, who reportedly had only three Soul Rings.
But now, one of the Peerless Dragon Snake had arrived, and she seemed very keen to obtain the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.
He had to be cautious.
The Peerless Dragon Snake possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He was no match for them.
"Big dumb bear! What are you looking at?"
Xiao Wu was extremely brazen now.
Seeing Zhao Wuji distracted, she teleported straight behind him.
Her body arched like a bow, and both legs kicked hard into Zhao Wuji's lower back, knocking him straight to the ground.
Xiao Wu had already fused with the Torso Soul Bone, greatly enhancing her Waist Bow.
Even Zhao Wuji could not withstand her full-force blow.
The newly arrived Snake Granny and Meng Yiran stared in shock.
Not only was Zhao Wuji a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, but he also possessed a powerful Martial Soul like the Great Strength Vajra Bear.
Yet while his Martial Soul was released, a little girl with only three rings had kicked him to the ground?
Was that something a human could do?
A Soul Saint could stand there and let a three-ring Soul Elder kick him as much as they pleased without suffering any harm.
"Cough, cough! Xiao Wu! Your life is mine!"
Zhao Wuji was thoroughly enraged.
His Soul Rings lit up one after another, and one had already encircled Xiao Wu. When Zhao Wuji attacked again, no matter how she blinked away, he could quickly appear beside her and seize her with one hand.
"Hmph! Big dumb bear, if you're bad, practice more!"
Hiding behind Xiao Yexuan, Xiao Wu stuck her tongue out at Zhao Wuji.
Veins bulged on Zhao Wuji's forehead. He leaped over, his fist like an iron cooking pot descending from the sky, looking ready to knock both Xiao Yexuan and Xiao Wu flat with one punch.
"B-be careful!"
Seeing that Xiao Yexuan appeared completely unguarded, Meng Yiran hurriedly warned him in concern.
An attack from a Soul Saint was not something a young man like Xiao Yexuan could easily block!
Yet she saw Xiao Yexuan merely smile faintly and say in a voice like a balmy spring breeze, "Three Thousand Lightning Movement."
Lightning flashed, and Xiao Yexuan appeared above Zhao Wuji, swinging the enormous Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand.
Like swatting a fly, he drove Zhao Wuji straight into the ground.
"Th-this is way too cool!"
Meng Yiran's fearful heart was instantly filled with astonishment and admiration.
With effortless composure, he had defeated a powerful Soul Saint in just one move.
She loved it, loved it!
