The laughter of the Shrek group stopped instantly, and all eyes turned toward the source of the voice, their expressions turning unfriendly.
A white-haired young man stood nearby, laughing without restraint.
He wore a flashy white outfit and appeared slightly older than the members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
"Who do you think you are? We're just joking among ourselves—what does it have to do with you?" Dai Mubai asked coldly, staring at the white-haired youth. His aura burst out like a roaring white tiger—majestic and oppressive.
Yet despite that powerful pressure, the white-haired boy only stepped back slightly. His smile didn't waver. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Why? Was I wrong? Shouldn't people who don't trust their companions be ridiculed?"
Dai Mubai's expression shifted slightly.
He hadn't taken the situation too seriously at first, but with the pressure of his top-tier beast spirit, even forcing an opponent back a single step showed that their spirit power was nearly equal.
At least level 35 or higher!
"This handsome guy, I wonder if you know a basic piece of common sense," Ning Rongrong suddenly said with a sweet smile. Her delicate features and slender figure made her look like a blooming lotus—pure and charming.
The white-haired youth tried to keep up his flirtatious act. He rubbed his hands and gave what he thought was a gentle, charming smile. "Miss, I—"
She interrupted, still smiling sweetly. "People with dirty mouths usually die fast. Especially people like you, whose ears are full of fat, replacing their brains. Disease clouds your thinking, and the leftover slop clogs your mind, so every time you speak, it's just disgusting nonsense."
"So, handsome guy, does that sound like common sense to you?"
Despite her innocent tone and angelic face, the words from her cherry lips left the white-haired youth completely stunned.
"Hahahaha!!"
The Shrek team burst out laughing at the expression on his face.
Poor guy… He's probably scarred for life after this.
"Hehe."
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue playfully and glanced shyly at the red-haired boy. When she saw his approving look, a satisfied smile spread across her lovely face.
"You people…"
The white-haired youth finally came back to his senses. Looking at Ning Rongrong's sweet and innocent appearance, he felt as though his heart had shattered.
How could someone so beautiful say something so brutal?!
"Alright then… You've really pissed me off."
He took a deep breath, his expression darkening as he stepped forward.
Boom!
Golden flames suddenly erupted from the air. The intense heat distorted the atmosphere, and the white-haired youth felt a wave of fear rise from deep within. His hair stood on end as he instinctively retreated, nearly stumbling over himself.
"Leave."
A red-haired boy stood up, his eyes burning with fire as he glared coldly at the youth.
Gulp—
The white-haired youth swallowed hard, nodded instinctively, then turned and bolted without even looking back.
"Fatty, this guy isn't ordinary. I think he did that on purpose," Dai Mubai said seriously once the boy was out of sight. "His spirit power is about the same as mine."
"Yeah, I noticed too," Ma Hongjun agreed.
His power isn't low. And if I'm right, he's a member of the Royal Fighting Team.
I think his name is Yufeng?
"Then what was his goal?" Oscar asked, scratching his head.
"Maybe reconnaissance," Dai Mubai said with a shrug. "He might be our next opponent."
"Hmph! If I meet them in the arena, I'll crush them!" Xiao Wu snorted and raised her little fists.
"Even if someone scolds Oscar, it should be us, not some outsider!"
Oscar: Totally disrespected right now!
"Alright, let's forget about him. Gu Yuena and I earned a lot recently—let's treat everyone to a good meal," Ma Hongjun said, smiling as he looked at the quiet, silver-haired girl beside him.
"Mm. Everyone can order whatever they like," Gu Yuena added gently, her beautiful face softening into a smile.
"Great!"
"Long live Big Sister!"
"I won't hold back then! I've been craving that restaurant for ages!"
The group cheered happily as they got up and headed out together.
As they neared the exit of the Spirit Arena, Oscar suddenly scratched his head. "Wait… did we forget something?"
Dai Mubai cut him off impatiently, "We're all seven here—who could we have forgotten?"
"You're right."
Oscar nodded, convinced, and shrugged off the thought.
"Let's go eat something delicious~"

Meanwhile, inside the Soto Grand Fighting Arena…
"Little monsters, I found an opponent for you, alright?"
Flander rushed in excitedly, holding a slip of paper. But when he reached the waiting area, he looked around in confusion.
Where is everyone?
They were just here a moment ago!
—
At a hotel in Soto City…
Yufeng pushed the door open with trembling hands. Several people inside turned to look at him.
It was the Royal Fighting Team.
"Haha! Yufeng, stop pretending. Still in character, huh? Don't overdo it!" Oslo chuckled as he walked over and patted Yufeng's shoulder. But the moment he touched him, his smile froze.
"Shit! you're shaking like crazy—what happened?!"
At that, the relaxed atmosphere in the room vanished. Yu Tianheng, the team leader, shouted sharply, "Lingling!"
"Yes!"
A calm, airy voice answered as a beautiful blue-haired girl stepped forward. She raised her hands, and pink crabapple blossoms bloomed from her palms, releasing a warm and gentle light.
After a moment, Ye Lingling shook her head. "He's not injured. It's more like… he was frightened."
"Frightened?"
The seductive girl with short, dark purple hair frowned. "What could the Shrek team possibly have that would scare Yufeng? Isn't their strongest just level 37?"
"I'm not sure. I just gave him a little comfort. He should recover soon."
With that, Ye Lingling silently returned to her usual corner—quiet and unnoticed.
No one paid her further attention. They waited quietly.
After a while, Yufeng's eyes suddenly widened. He gasped, sat up, and looked around in confusion. When he saw his teammates, his nose twitched, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Captain… Vice Captain… everyone…"
"Alright, alright! Enough with the crying. You're a grown man, remember?" the purple-haired girl said, waving her hand impatiently.
"Didn't I tell you to scout out Shrek? What happened to you?!"
