Flender's expression was grim, like the sky before a storm.
Ma Hongjun had a problem in the morning, and Dai Mubai followed suit in the afternoon. Could he ever have a moment's peace?
He turned around sharply, his eyes fixed on Ao Tian, and asked sternly, "Did you do this to Dai Mubai?"
Ao Tian remained composed and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes."
"For someone so young, you're quite ruthless, even more so than Tang San," Zhao Wuji said.
To shatter most of a person's bones... what a cruel torture. It was even more painful than the hidden weapons Tang San had used on Zhao Wuji before. Zhao Wuji had been shocked when he saw Dai Mubai's miserable state.
"You're all classmates. Sparring is one thing, but why did you attack so brutally?" Flender's aura surged outward, pressing down on Ao Tian.
Ao Tian's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel Flender's pressure. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, who were standing beside Ao Tian, paled. They felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult to breathe.
Xiao Wu cleverly ducked behind Ao Tian, and all the pressure instantly vanished. Ao Tian's body was like an unyielding sky, shielding her from any pressure.
Gu Yue Na couldn't help but take a step forward with her right foot, but Ao Tian held her hand back.
Ao Tian shook his head, and Gu Yue Na retracted her foot.
"I reminded him before the fight that there would be a price for fighting me. Moreover, before the fight started, he said it himself that the academy encourages fighting, as long as no one gets killed. I didn't break any rules, so are you going to punish me, Principal?"
Zhao Wuji scolded, "You're twisting the facts. It's obvious you're using a loophole in the rules to intentionally hurt someone."
Flender reached out to stop Zhao Wuji, and said earnestly, "You're all classmates, and you'll be living and fighting alongside each other in the future. You can spar, but you must value harmony and be of good character. Don't fight amongst yourselves.
How about this, I'll punish you to take care of Dai Mubai for a month, and reflect on your actions."
Oscar, who was standing to the side, was immediately a little pleased. He was no longer alone. Having Ao Tian with him to take care of the disabled made him feel a lot more balanced.
Ao Tian shook his head, "I refuse."
Gu Yue Na's eyes gradually became sharp.
Flender's tone changed, and he rebuked, "You think you're still a pampered young master? Shrek doesn't coddle anyone. If you refuse, then get out!"
Ao Tian calmly said, "Fine, you said it. I quit Shrek Academy."
"I quit!" Gu Yue Na said.
"I quit!" Xiao Wu said.
"I quit too," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, and said, "I... too."
"Enough!" Flender roared. "You all paid tuition, no one is going anywhere."
He'd really gotten a fright just now. Five students leaving at once, and all of them were super talented. Ning Rongrong was a bit less so, but her Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. If he really let them leave Shrek Academy, it would be a huge loss for the academy.
What the hell were those academy rules anyway? They were no longer important when it came to these genius students.
Flender turned his gaze towards Tang San, considering whether to have Tang San take care of Dai Mubai for a month.
Tang San frowned, wondering if he should refuse if the headmaster asked him to look after Dai Mubai.
Honestly, he really didn't want to be the one wiping Dai Mubai's backside.
"Headmaster, no need to bother the students." Dai Mubai suddenly said. "Let's hire someone from the village to take care of me and Fatty. I'll cover the expenses."
Oscar was immediately touched. Finally, he wouldn't have to do that tiring and dirty work.
Flender waved his hand, saying, "Alright, go back now."
Ao Tian and the others left the room.
"Oscar, stay behind for a moment," Flender called out.
Flender said, "I had originally arranged for Teacher Zhao to lead Ao Tian and the others to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow for training. The main purpose is to help Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing obtain their third Spirit Rings and advance to become Soul Elders. Since you don't need to look after Mubai anymore, why don't you go along tomorrow?"
Oscar's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, I will definitely perform well and won't disappoint you, Dean."
He had been thinking about how to pursue Ning Rongrong, and he didn't expect an opportunity to come so quickly. Training together, if he showed more attentiveness, he might be able to win the beauty's heart.
"Alright, remember to get up a bit earlier tomorrow and meet at the training ground," Flender reminded him.
"Dean," Dai Mubai suddenly called out.
"What is it?"
"You said you were going to help Tang San and Zhuqing obtain their third魂环. I remember Zhuqing was only level twenty-seven, wasn't she? Why would she be absorbing a 魂环 so soon?" Dai Mubai stared at Flender, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Flender's mood improved as he spoke, and he explained with a smile, "She told me this morning that she held back during the test. In fact, she had already reached level thirty before coming here."
A thunderclap seemed to explode in Dai Mubai's heart, and he was completely stunned. Only twelve years old and already level thirty? What a monstrous talent!
And after obtaining a 魂环, she would become a Soul Elder. A twelve-year-old Soul Elder... Going back hundreds of years in the Zhu family's history, they probably couldn't find a young person with such talent.
Dai Mubai could ignore Ao Tian, Xiao Wu, and Gu Yue Na's monstrous talents, but this girl from the Zhu family possessing such extraordinary talent... he had to pay attention!
He was hiding in this Shrek Academy, his will diminished, wasn't it because the pressure his older brother put on him was too great, making him see no hope?
He was going to die anyway, so he might as well enjoy himself.
But now, he saw hope. The girl named Zhuqing was like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the gloom in his heart and allowing him to see hope.
His own talent was actually slightly better than his older brother's, it was just that they had a significant age gap. He had trained for fewer years, which was why he couldn't compare to his older brother.
If he could get together with this Zhu Qing, he might even be able to defeat his older brother in the future.
Dai Mubai had been here for several years and would occasionally contact his family. He also had a general understanding of the situation with his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing. According to his estimation, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation should only be around twenty-six or seven levels now, which was nowhere near this Zhu Qing's level.
A loss may turn out to be a gain. With Gu Yue Na gone, another Zhu Qing had appeared.
At this moment, an idea began to form in Dai Mubai's mind...
"You guys get some rest. I'll go to the village and find someone to take care of you," Flender said, and left with the other teachers.
Across from Dai Mubai's bed, Ma Hongjun, covered in black soot, turned his head with difficulty and looked at Dai Mubai, asking, "Dai, you asked about that Zhu Qing just now. You wouldn't be interested in her, would you? You said this morning that you'd help me pursue her. A friend's wife is untouchable, so don't go back on your word and try to steal her from me, or I'll fall out with you."
"We'll talk about it after we recover," Dai Mubai said.
Ma Hongjun glared, saying, "So, you're thinking about competing with me? Dai Mubai, you're not being fair. It's not easy for me to find a girlfriend, you know? This is related to my life! You used to go on three dates a day with different girls, and now you want to steal her from me? I curse you with a weak kidney!"
Only two chapters today, folks. Didn't realize the get-together would run so late, sorry about that.
