"My reasoning, Shrek's teacher, is sufficient?"
Jing Hongchen's expression was serious as he continued, "Because Huo Yuhao has left, I now need to inspect every student and every corner of the academy. Do you have any more questions?"
The next moment, Jing Hongchen revealed his strength as Titled Douluo, demonstrating his dominance.
The female teacher from Shrek paused, as if about to say something, but then, as if receiving some instruction, she relented, "There's no problem. However, I still want to emphasize one point: if any of our Shrek Academy students cause any trouble, you must be prepared to bear the wrath of Shrek."
Jing Hongchen ignored them, waved behind him, and his men immediately led Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er away.
The Shrek Academy group watched helplessly as Huo Yuhao was taken away.
He Caitou forward and said, "Teacher, no matter what, Little Brother Huo is still a student of Shrek. He absolutely cannot be bullied like this."
The female teacher replied earnestly, "That's natural, but after all, our strength is insufficient, and our voices carry little weight here. Jing Hongchen doesn't take us seriously at all. The best way now is to send a message to the academy and let them put pressure on Jing Hongchen."
He Caitou nodded and said, "That's true, but right now, Little Brother Huo's safety is not guaranteed at all."
"Don't worry about that, there won't be any problems. After all, considering Shrek's reputation, I believe Jing Hongchen won't go too far."
Soon, Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er were separated and taken to two unknown rooms.
Huo Yuhao sat in the dimly lit room, his hands handcuffed.
He was looking around, feeling a little bored.
It even seems they've investigated my Martial Soul. The rooms here are all made of materials that can isolate Spiritual Power, which seems quite troublesome.
I don't know how much time passed.
The door creaked open, and light burst into the room as Jing Hongchen stepped inside.
The glaring light disappeared, and the small lights in the four corners of the ceiling turned on, illuminating the room.
Jing Hongchen sat down at some point, right opposite Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao adjusted to the changing light, looked at Jing Hongchen in front of him, and said, " Dean Hongchen, I have cooperated with your search and explained everything that needed to be explained. Logically, you should let me go back now."
Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said in a cold tone, " Huo Yuhao, you'd better confess honestly. Wang Qiu'er just confessed that she is from the Shadow Garden. Tell me where your people are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Hongchen slammed his right hand down on the table in front of him, instantly turning the solid wood table into dust!
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted, and he asked incredulously, "How is this possible? How could Wang Qiu'er possibly say that?"
"Speak quickly, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense right now," Jing Hongchen said angrily.
Huo Yuhao felt his body sink, his bones creaking as the pressure of Titled Douluo descended upon him without reservation.
"Stop, stop, stop! I'll talk, I'll talk..."
Huo Yuhao quickly begged for mercy.
Jing Hongchen's brows relaxed slightly, and he withdrew most of his immense pressure. "Speak! What exactly is the purpose of your Shadow Garden? Tell me every single piece of information about your organization!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Huo Yuhao coughed twice suddenly. " Dean Hongchen, could you let me catch my breath?"
As if Teleportation, Jing Hongchen grabbed Huo Yuhao by the throat with one hand and lifted him into the air.
The intense feeling of suffocation instantly turned Huo Yuhao's face pale, his eyes rolled back, and the veins below his neck bulged clearly. He tried to struggle, but his limbs were bound.
Saliva dripped uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth and onto the ground.
Jing Hongchen disregarded Huo Yuhao's condition and said fiercely, " Huo Yuhao, don't try anything funny. If you want Wang Qiu'er to live, you'd better tell me right now!"
Huo Yuhao nodded subconsciously. Jing Hongchen released his hand and threw him hard, slamming him to the ground.
"Huff... Ha!... Huff huff huff huff!"
Huo Yuhao gasped for breath, his eyes secretly fixed on Jing Hongchen, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.
Then, he continued his performance, his left cheek pressed against the ground, panting heavily. Saliva, which was uncontrollably dripping from the corner of his mouth, mixed with the dust on the ground and stuck to his left cheek, making him look extremely disheveled.
His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably from time to time, giving the impression that he would be strangled to death if pinched any longer.
He gasped for breath for a full two minutes before his complexion returned to normal.
But the red marks on his neck from being strangled lingered for Jiujiu.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had recovered, Jing Hongchen placed the newly developed audio Image-Recording Soul Tool on the table that had just been brought back in.
" Huo Yuhao, let's begin."
Jing Hongchen crossed her arms and stared sharply at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao struggled to sit up, but couldn't manage it for a long time.
Jing Hongchen could no longer bear to watch and had someone help him up from the ground.
Those people left, giving him a look of disdain.
"Speak! I'm not patient enough to waste any more time with you. This is your last chance." Jing Hongchen's tone was calm, but it already showed that he was extremely impatient.
" Wang Qiu'er joined Shrek Academy when I was an exchange student..." Huo Yuhao said slowly.
Countless Soul Tool extended from behind Jing Hongchen, aimed at Huo Yuhao, and he said coldly, "I told you I don't have that much patience!"
The next moment, the Soul Missile entered charging mode, its terrifying power accumulating.
Huo Yuhao stammered, " Dean Hongchen, don't shoot! I'll grab... I'll grab the important part, I'll grab the important part!"
The Soul Cannon behind Jing Hongchen then stopped charging.
Huo Yuhao let out a breath, then grinned. " Wang Qiu'er is a student of the Shrek Academy, and I have never admitted to being a member of the Shadow Garden."
A fierce killing intent flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, Soul Missile behind him charged up again as he angrily shouted, " Huo Yuhao, you dare to play me?!"
Huo Yuhao burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Jing Hongchen, I've already made myself clear to you. We are all students of Shrek. Your attempt to pin baseless accusations on me is nothing more than an excuse for your own failure."
"Court death!"
Jing Hongchen seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and he cursed loudly.
The Soul Tool behind him had also finished charging, and the dark muzzle began to emit a faint red light.
Just as Jing Hongchen was about to make his move, a sudden bell rang throughout the entire Mingdu City!
Jing Hongchen's expression changed upon hearing the bell.
This is a death knell!
The death knell tolls!
