"You're fucking asking for death!"
Seeing Xiao Feng dare to take advantage of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai immediately summoned his White Tiger Spirit and transformed into a tiger-human hybrid. Swinging his razor-sharp claws, he lunged at Xiao Feng's chest.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Tang San, meanwhile, unleashed dozens of Dragon Beard Needles, aiming straight for Xiao Feng's vital points.
Clearly, Tang San was accustomed to lecturing others from a moral high ground. But if the blade ever turned on him, he'd undoubtedly scream louder than anyone.
Just as the needles were about to strike, Xiao Feng suddenly raised his hand and yanked Dai Mubai in front of him, using the latter as a meat shield to block all the needles.
Fortunately, Tang San hadn't coated the needles with poison—otherwise, Dai Mubai wouldn't have just been severely injured but outright killed on the spot.
"Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"
Tang San was startled by Xiao Feng's reflexes. Ignoring Dai Mubai's condition, he immediately activated his control-type soul skill, attempting to restrain Xiao Feng's movements.
But before Tang San could even rejoice, the Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around Xiao Feng were forcefully shattered.
"Kid, this isn't how you use Blue Silver Grass."
As soon as Xiao Feng spoke, several Blue Silver Emperor vines as thick as arms erupted from beneath Tang San's feet, wrapping around his limbs with lightning speed.
"Since you like attacking with hidden weapons, you won't be needing these hands anymore."
With a mere thought from Xiao Feng, the vines twisted violently, contorting Tang San's arms into spirals.
"Ahhh—!"
No matter how strong-willed Tang San was, the agony of having his arms crippled forced a scream from his throat.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Zhao Wuji, who had just stepped out of the room, felt his scalp tingle at the sight of Tang San's miserable state.
During the Shrek Academy entrance exam, Zhao Wuji had only given Tang San a minor lesson, only to be ambushed and beaten half to death by Tang Hao that very night.
If Tang Hao found out that Tang San had lost both arms under his watch, Zhao Wuji might as well prepare to be skinned alive.
Ignoring Zhao Wuji's shouts, Xiao Feng manipulated another Blue Silver Emperor vine and lashed it straight toward Tang San's "fifth limb."
"You're DEAD!!!"
Zhao Wuji's pupils shrank. He instantly activated his spirit possession, transforming into a two-meter-tall bear-human hybrid. Swinging a massive paw the size of a millstone, he aimed a ruthless strike at Xiao Feng's head.
"Boom!"
Before Zhao Wuji could even touch him, a Blue Silver Emperor vine shot out like a whip, sending him flying hundreds of meters away like a baseball.
"Thwack—!!!"
The vine meant for Tang San followed through, striking his most vulnerable spot.
The unbearable pain of a "critical hit" overwhelmed Tang San, and with a final twitch, he passed out.
"Bastard! Die!"
Seeing her "future happiness" ruined by Xiao Feng, Xiao Wu's eyes turned blood-red. Without hesitation, she swung her long leg in a full-force kick toward Xiao Feng's head.
"Snap!"
Without even turning, Xiao Feng caught her ankle with one hand and promptly subjected her to a "Love Massage."
"Ah~"
Xiao Wu's face flushed crimson, her body trembling as she collapsed like jelly, completely powerless.
With a light step, Xiao Feng appeared before Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. His hands darted out like lightning, tapping them lightly.
"Ah~ Ah~"
The two girls let out soft moans before collapsing beside Xiao Wu, equally incapacitated.
With their defeat, only Oscar remained standing among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Just as Oscar braced for the worst, Xiao Feng spoke coldly:
"I'm taking these three girls. You can drag the rest of these trash away."
"Tell your elders this: Not everyone in this world can be provoked. Some people are beyond your reach."
Truthfully, Xiao Feng despised Shrek Academy's teaching methods—they were nothing but a waste of talent.
Apart from making students run laps and fight in spirit arenas, Shrek Academy had no proper curriculum. It didn't even deserve to be called a school.
And Flender and his crew? Their ability to stir trouble far outweighed their actual skills.
If they weren't careful, they'd bite off more than they could chew.
"Saber, grab these three. We're leaving."
At his command, Saber and the others swiftly hoisted the unconscious girls and followed Xiao Feng away.

The Next Morning
After a full night of relentless "guidance," Xiao Wu and the others finally submitted, lowering their proud heads before Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's methods of torment were simply too varied—especially his mastery of illusions, which left the girls unable to distinguish fantasy from reality.
If they hadn't surrendered early, they might've ended up eating each other's "noodles" all night.
Exhausted from the sleepless night, the three girls showed no signs of waking even as Xiao Feng enjoyed a lavish breakfast served by Saber and Medea.
Gazing at their worn-out forms, Xiao Feng smirked smugly before ordering Saber and Medea to guard them. He then ventured alone into the Star Dou Forest.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest...
Meng Yiran, a stunning beauty with a curvaceous figure, stared hesitantly at two spirit beasts before her.
Recently, her spirit power had broken through to Rank 30, so her grandparents, the Dragon Serpent Duo, had brought her to hunt for a suitable third spirit ring.
After days of searching, they'd finally found two candidates:
A Thousand-Year Phoenix-Tailed Crown Snake and a Thousand-Year Human-Faced Demon Spider.
The Phoenix-Tailed Crown Snake was an obvious match for her Serpent Staff Spirit, but the Human-Faced Demon Spider was rarer and far more powerful.
After a long pause, Meng Yiran stepped toward the spider and drove her staff straight into its eye socket.
With a final spasm, the already half-dead spider expired, its body dissolving into purple light that condensed into a gleaming spirit ring.
Meng Yiran eagerly channeled her spirit power, drawing the ring toward her staff...
