Inside the arena, Feng Xiaotian and Tang San stood face to face, neither giving way to the other. Tang San frowned and said to Feng Xiaotian, " Feng Xiaotian, what are you planning to do by coming to the Shrek Academy in such a grand manner?"
Feng Xiaotian was clearly chosen as the representative by the Four Elements Academy. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. We just received an invitation from the Heaven Dou Empire Four Elements Academy relocate to Heaven Dou City, so we came here to say hello."
"Greeting them? If you're going to greet them, why choose a time when the dean and teachers aren't around?" Ma Hongjun said from the side. "I think you're not here to say hello, you're here to cause trouble on purpose, aren't you?"
Feng Xiaotian said helplessly, "That was just a misunderstanding. We'll be seeing each other often in the future, so why would we do something like that?"
Tang San laughed in return, " Feng Xiaotian, perhaps you calculated that the teachers were away, which is why you came to the Shrek Academy to establish your authority. But you seem to have forgotten that Shrek's most terrifying man is right here."
Feng Xiaotian's expression changed immediately. He naturally knew who Tang San was talking about. The most formidable man in Shrek was none other than Qi Ling.
But to everyone's surprise, Tang San's mention of Qi Ling only made things worse. Qi Ling, Huo Wu nearby, couldn't hold back any longer. Gritting her teeth, she stepped forward and said, " Tang San! Don't think you can scare us just because you mentioned Qi Ling! Let me tell you, we're here today to find Qi Ling! Where is that guy? Make him come out right now!"
Upon hearing Huo Wu's words, the Shrek members were all startled. Ma Hongjun even muttered to himself, "Has this girl gone mad? She actually came to cause trouble for Boss Qi?"
And it wasn't just Huo Wu; Shui Bing'er also stepped forward and said, "That's right, we came here specifically to find Qi Ling. If he's here, please call him out!"
"This..." Tang San and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. The other party had specifically asked for Qi Ling, and they didn't know what to do.
"What do you want?" Just then, Qi Ling and Xiao Wu pushed through the wall of people and arrived at the center of the crowd.
The students around Qi Ling immediately became excited upon seeing him, shouting, "Senior Qi Ling! Senior Qi Ling is back! That's great!"
"Senior Qi Ling, teach them a lesson and see how arrogant they can be!"
With Qi Ling's appearance, the atmosphere here immediately changed. The two groups, which were originally evenly matched, were now completely overshadowed by Qi Ling, as if everyone else was just a supporting character.
Feng Xiaotian sighed helplessly. This was the difference—a natural difference that couldn't be made up for through hard work!
Standing before the crowd, Qi Ling carefully examined Feng Xiaotian. In the past five years, he had undoubtedly become more mature and stronger, displaying a dignified demeanor that inspired Qi Ling's admiration.
" Brother Qi, how have you been? Five years have passed, and Brother Qi charisma remains as astonishing as ever," Feng Xiaotian said. "The purpose of our visit, as we just mentioned, is to conduct a friendly exchange..."
" Feng Xiaotian, don't waste your breath on me," Qi Ling said slowly. "Are you here to negotiate on behalf of the Four Great Elemental Academies?"
As he spoke, Qi Ling exuded an incomparably powerful aura, immediately leaving the people from the Four Great Elemental Academies at a loss. They had experienced firsthand how terrifying this man was five years ago.
"No, Brother Qi, don't misunderstand, we're not..." Feng Xiaotian broke out in a cold sweat. He never intended to anger Qi Ling; the consequences of doing so would definitely not be pleasant.
The Four Great Elemental Academies were indeed in a very bad situation due to the pressure from the Divine Court, which is why they rushed to Heaven Dou City. The reason they made such a large-scale trip to Shrek was to gain more initiative in the future.
But just then, Huo Wu shoved Feng Xiaotian aside and said, "Get out of the way! Stop being so fussy, it's not manly at all!"
" Qi Ling, I'm here to demand an explanation from you! I won't let this go until you give me a satisfactory answer!" Huo Wu said.
Seeing that Huo Wu could still maintain such an imposing presence when facing Qi Ling, the people from the Four Great Elemental Academies couldn't help but feel hopeful, and even silently cheered in their hearts, hoping that Huo Wu would win back some face for them.
Shui Bing'er, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said, "That's right, Qi Ling, besides the matters concerning the academy, we have another matter to discuss with you."
"What's wrong?" Qi Ling asked helplessly.
"Why haven't you come to see us for the past five years?" Shui Bing'er asked. "And when are we getting married?"
After Shui Bing'er finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment. Even the people from the Four Great Elemental Academies did not expect that what Shui Bing'er wanted to say to Qi Ling would be like this!
"Hey! You brat, are you trying to kill me?!" Huo Wu hurriedly pulled Shui Bing'er back and said, "Why are you in such a hurry! Doesn't that make us look spineless?"
Shui Bing'er said helplessly, "You're clearly more anxious than I am, so stop pretending."
"I... I call this being reserved! Don't you understand?!" Huo Wu coughed twice, then continued, " Qi Ling, the Four Great Elemental Academies of us came here this time because we want to join Shrek Academy!"
"But before that, you have to prove yourself, that you're still as strong as ever! Otherwise, you'll have to listen to us from now on!"
"That's right, when we get married is up to us!" Shui Bing'er interjected from the side, only to be angrily pushed back down by Huo Wu.
Qi Ling helplessly ignored the two and looked at Feng Xiaotian: "Is this the will of your Four Great Elemental Academies? Can you represent the opinion of the academy's higher-ups?"
Feng Xiaotian said, " Brother Qi, rest assured, the three of us represent the three academies respectively. As for the Thunder Academy, it has been fully entrusted to us."
"Alright, then the three of you can come at me all at once," Qi Ling said helplessly. "Sorry, I haven't been in a good mood these past few days, so I don't have much patience. Let's settle this with one battle."
"If you win, you'll be in charge of Shrek from now on. Feng Xiaotian, you can become the dean of Shrek Academy if you want! Or you can rename it Elemental Academies or Godwind Academy, it's up to you!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's generous offer, Feng Xiaotian showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, he gave a helpless, bitter smile. This undoubtedly indicated that Qi Ling was full of confidence in him, making this a match with no suspense whatsoever.
"But if I win, you can leave or stay as you please. However, if you want to stay, you'll all have to listen to me from now on!" Qi Ling said. "Do you agree to this condition?"
