You Should Switch Careers and Become a Punching Bag
"You, you, you...
You're utterly shameless!!!"
Fooled by Bai Jingtian yet again and having wasted a great deal of Soul Power, Wang Dong had completely lost her head. All she wanted was to tear Bai Jingtian apart with her own hands.
Although she had dropped a story in altitude, she still chose to bombard Bai Jingtian with her second Soul Skill.
During their brief exchange, Wang Dong had determined that Bai Jingtian was probably an agility-type Soul Master, perhaps even one focused purely on agility.
Only that could explain his speed, which Wang Dong couldn't even follow with her eyes.
Against a purely agility-focused Soul Master who very likely also possessed some movement techniques, continuing to fight at close range would only waste her strength.
Besides, the Martial Soul Wang Dong currently focused on was the Light Goddess Butterfly, which excelled at energy attacks. At this stage, all she could do in close combat was use her raw stats to bully some underdeveloped kids, like Lao Huo.
Clearly, Bai Jingtian's stats were already above hers.
So she could only change how she used Butterfly God's Light and attack Bai Jingtian with a barrage.
Bai Jingtian, however, didn't want to dodge anymore.
There wouldn't be any problem if Wang Dong blasted craters in the ground, but if she cut down a tree, Bai Jingtian would have to worry about whether the Well-Fed Douluo nearby would find an excuse to make him pay for it.
After all, this was Shrek Academy. The statue of Flender, the first dean of Shrek Academy, was still standing over there in the distance. Who didn't know what Flender was like?
"Level ten Soul Power, Electric Missile!"
Bai Jingtian raised his right hand. Electricity gathered continuously in his palm and around his hand, quickly forming one electrical energy bullet after another, which he fired at the balls of light from Wang Dong's Butterfly God's Light.
Under Bai Jingtian's precise control, every Electric Missile intercepted a ball of Butterfly God's Light, forcing them to explode in midair. They couldn't even harm the leaves of the tree where Bai Jingtian stood.
"This... He can even control the lightning element so precisely?! Is he really just a freshman with only level twenty-eight Soul Power?!"
At the side, Bei Bei, who had been explaining the fight to Huo Yutong, stopped at once when he saw this, his eyes widening even further.
The lightning element was exceptionally violent. Even Bei Bei could only barely keep it from becoming too active around his body. He couldn't possibly control it as precisely as Bai Jingtian, using less Soul Power to intercept Wang Dong's thousand-year Soul Skill.
"That student is so handsome!"
Stars had appeared in Huo Yutong's eyes. Without her even realizing it, the person she admired had changed.
The strength Bei Bei had shown in the Star Dou Great Forest had already made her admire him greatly, but now Bai Jingtian's performance had left her with an impression ten, or even nine times better than Bei Bei's.
As for Wang Dong...
She didn't say anything more, but her face had nearly turned black, and her chest was rising and falling more and more. It was hard to tell whether she was breathing harder or whether certain strips of cloth had begun to loosen.
She had also descended to a height of two stories. Bai Jingtian, who had landed back on the ground, only needed to raise a hand and jump lightly to grab her slender ankle, yank her down and throw her to the ground.
Yet her Second Soul Ring lit up once more, and her wings were already shining like a real sun, lighting up every room in the dormitory building with windows facing this side.
"Strange, why is the sun so bright?"
Tang Ya, who lived on the fifth floor, had just been awakened by the light. She sat up, bleary-eyed, and before realizing she had missed her time to cultivate Purple Demon Eye, she was still wondering when the sunlight in the dormitory had gotten so bright.
Clearly, Wang Dong's Butterfly God's Light would be even more terrifying this time than before.
Even so, faced with Wang Dong's overwhelming presence, Bai Jingtian still wore the same relaxed expression. He even had the leisure to take a pair of sunglasses out of his Storage Soul Tool and put them on before looking up at her.
"Ha, you're shining gold again. But besides throwing things around, do you have any useful way to attack, baby Wang Dong?"
"Go to hell!"
Wang Dong had no more words to spare. All she could do was shout that threat as she fired Butterfly God's Light once again.
This time, Butterfly God's Light contained nearly all of Wang Dong's remaining Soul Power, apart from what she needed to maintain her Martial Soul and keep herself from falling out of the air.
"The only ones going to hell are your mother and you!
Level twenty-one Soul Power, Electric Bullet Fist!"
Faced with Wang Dong's terrifying Butterfly God's Light, Bai Jingtian charged straight at it. He punched again and again at the balls of light it fired, smashing every one of them apart.
The shattered Butterfly God's Light turned into specks of light like grains of sand, gradually drifting down toward the ground.
As Bai Jingtian shattered the last ball of Butterfly God's Light with a punch, Wang Dong's twisted face appeared before him once again.
The expression on her face was changing from the arrogance of a petty person drunk on success and the desperation of someone staking everything on one attack to fear and surprise.
But Bai Jingtian's wreathed fists did not stop after smashing all of Butterfly God's Light. Instead, they continued raining blows down on Wang Dong.
Face, shoulders, chest, stomach, thighs, arms, wings-Bai Jingtian's fists struck every part of Wang Dong that faced him.
Like a kite with its string cut, her figure traced a perfect parabola through the air. She finally landed beside the Well-Fed Douluo not far away, her eyes rolling back as she fainted immediately.
"Whew, that felt pretty good. You'd better switch to being a defense-type Soul Master and make a living as other people's punching bag from now on."
Bai Jingtian shook out his wrists and rolled his shoulders, then walked slowly over to Wang Dong to check her injuries again.
"I made a point of holding back. The punch to her face won't fracture her nose, and the punches to her body won't break any bones or damage her internal organs and major blood vessels...
"Old sir, if I want to find a doctor, where would be the easiest place to look? Also, can I apply..."
"Go and rest. Leave this to me."
Mu En waved a hand lightly, indicating that he would take care of the rest.
He could tell that Bai Jingtian really had held back. Otherwise, if he had shouted "level twenty-eight Soul Power" at the end, Wang Dong would have had at least a dozen more broken bones.
He had also been able to hear how the dispute between Bai Jingtian and Wang Dong began. Wang Dong had been unreasonable first, so she deserved the beating Bai Jingtian gave her.
Although the lesson looked far too brutal, the outcome was still good.
"The incident where the Bai Clan of the Dou Ling Empire was wiped out by Evil Soul Masters... It seems there are still vermin in the academy."
