At this moment, Qi Ling deeply understood what it meant to rely on oneself rather than others, so she hurriedly said, "Old man, don't be impulsive! If I die, your granddaughter's Snake Core will be gone too. Do you want that?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo hesitated noticeably, while Qi Ling secretly thought it was a close call. It seemed he had made the right bet; this Snake Core was indeed a very important item, just like Dugu Bo's Poison Core.
"Hmph, don't think you can blackmail me with this Snake Core. If you want to live, prove yourselves with your strength!" Dugu Bo said, and a strong fluctuation of Soul Power came from him. Two yellow, two purple and five black Soul Ring, a total of nine, swirled around his body. The dazzling light made the entire hall dazzling.
When everyone saw Dugu Bo's Soul Ring, their expressions changed immediately. Although they had three Soul Douluo on their side, how could Titled Douluo be easily dealt with? At their level, even a difference of one level in Soul Power was a world of difference, let alone a difference of a major realm.
Sensing the despair-inducing gap in strength, the Grandmaster said, "Your surname Dugu, and you reek of a foul stench. You must be the Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo, whose title is Poison?"
"Not bad! Now that you know my name, why don't you get lost!" Dugu Bo said arrogantly.
The Grandmaster said calmly, "Fine, let's get out of here! Flender, let's get out of here too."
Although Flender was unwilling, he knew that a Titled Douluo was someone they could not possibly defeat, so he could only walk towards the door with reluctance.
"Wait!" Dugu Bo said at this moment, "You can leave, but this kid must stay!"
The Dugu Bo was referring to was Qi Ling. Upon hearing this request, Flender could no longer contain himself and roared, "Don't even think about it! Shrek will send just as many people as they come; you can't expect to leave any of us here!"
A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "Hmph! Looks like you want to die. Fine, then I'll grant your wish!"
Just as Dugu Bo was about to make a move, three Soul Douluo suddenly blocked his way. The three stood in a triangle formation, each releasing their powerful aura.
" Dugu Bo, don't go too far! Let the three of us old folks experience your poison skills!" Meng Shenji said to Dugu Bo, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
As the three summoned their respective Martial Soul, their powerful auras momentarily clashed with Dugu Bo's. Although Dugu Bo was incredibly strong, he dared not be careless in the face of three Soul Douluo joining forces.
Under the protection of the three Soul Douluo, the Shrek members were finally able to leave safely. Although Dugu Bo wanted to keep Qi Ling, he saw a resolute look in the eyes of the three Soul Douluo. If he made a move, the three of them would fight him to the death.
"Oh well, this kid can't escape anyway. There will be plenty of opportunities to catch him later," Dugu Bo comforted himself.
After the Shrek Academy members left the Education Committee hall, Qin Ming bowed to the three Soul Douluo and said, "Education Committee members, I'm truly sorry, but I think I should also leave the academy."
Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the three Soul Douluo were startled, and even Prince Xue Xing was stunned. Qin Ming's status in the academy was far higher than the Shrek Academy students had imagined. He could be said to be second only to the three teaching committee members, because he was one of the youngest Soul Emperor at present, and it was very likely that he would become Titled Douluo before the age of sixty.
The loss of such a talented individual is a grave loss even for a nation. Meng Shenji hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher Qin Ming, this will not do! I will naturally report this matter to His Majesty. You absolutely cannot leave!"
Qin Ming shook his head, his eyes filled with determination, and said calmly, "My mentor has been insulted here. How can I, Qin Ming, a disciple of Shrek, have the face to remain here?"
" Qin Ming appreciate the kindness of the three education commissioners. When Qin Ming arrived, I was all alone, and I leave alone as well. Qin Ming will always remember the care you three have given Qin Ming over the years, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future! Farewell."
Without giving the three education committee members a chance to stop him, Qin Ming activated his Soul Power and flashed out of the education committee hall, following in the footsteps of the Shrek students.
The Shrek members, walking down the mountain, all lowered their heads and remained silent, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on them. They realized how desperate people could feel when faced with an absolute difference in strength!
"Children, remember today's lesson!" the Grandmaster said. "Remember this feeling of resentment in your hearts, and turn it into motivation. One day, you will surpass him!"
Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists. Dai Mubai spoke up, "Dean, why don't we make Shrek bigger and bigger?"
"That's right, Dean! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also willing to sponsor Shrek Academy!" Ning Rongrong said. "My home happens to be nearby, let's go there to rest first! When I get back, I'll ask Uncle Jian and Uncle Bone to teach that Dugu Bo a lesson!"
Flender sighed and said, "No, Rongrong, thank you for your kindness, but let's go to Heaven Dou City to rest first, and then make some plans."
Seeing everyone's silent expressions, Flender forced a smile and said, "What's wrong? Everyone, try to relax. We didn't come away empty-handed this time. Look at the shock in the eyes of those three Soul Douluo when they Qi Ling. It really made me incredibly happy!"
"Huh? Speaking of Qi Ling, where is Qi Ling? Qi Ling!"
Only then did everyone realize that Qi Ling was not among them, and they didn't know where she had gone.
In the academic hall of the Heaven Dou Academy, after Qin Ming left, the three academic committee members angrily declared that they would definitely tell His Majesty what had happened and ask him to make a divine judgment.
Although Prince Xue Xing felt some regret, he couldn't show it at this moment, so he calmly said, "If the three of you are willing to complain to His Majesty, then so be it."
Prince Xue Xing then left with Xue Beng, without notifying Dugu Bo.
Just then, a pretty young girl ran in from outside. Seeing Dugu Bo standing there, she immediately rushed towards him. "Grandpa!"
Upon seeing the girl, Dugu Bo's cold expression softened. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, laughing heartily, " Yanyan, hmm, not bad, your strength has increased again. You haven't suffered any grievances here, have you?"
"Of course not. Here, I'm the one bullying others, not the other way around." This girl was none other than Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan. At this moment, she was acting just like the big sister of the academy.
But to everyone's surprise, when Dugu Bo saw Dugu Yan's appearance, he said with satisfaction, "Hmm! Not bad, my granddaughter, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, should be extraordinary!"
"By the way, Grandpa, I heard that people from the Shrek Academy have arrived. Have you seen Qi Ling, the one I told you about?" Dugu Yan asked Dugu Bo eagerly.
