Chapter 77: Escape, Mission Complete
"Dean, please don't hurt her!" Dai Mubai cried out, curled up on the ground in pain.
Flanders raised an eyebrow; he then realized that the two knew each other.
But this is even better; he is more confident in recruiting Zhu Zhuqing into Shrek Academy.
"Mu Bai, how's your injury?" Flanders asked with concern.
Despite the pain, Dai Mubai said, "Dean, I'm fine!"
He hadn't forgotten what Zhu Zhuqing had just said. She said that if she was going to marry, she would marry a real man, and Dai Mubai naturally had to stand by her.
Flanders stepped forward and began to examine Dai Mubai's injuries.
"Hiss~ Mu Bai, such a serious injury, and you say you're fine?" Flanders frowned.
He discovered that some of Dai Mubai's muscles and blood vessels had been severed by some kind of weapon.
Fortunately, these weapons were not used on vital areas, otherwise Dai Mubai might have been in mortal danger.
For example, if a needle were to pierce the heart, it might twist and sever a person's heart muscle.
"You're still forcing yourself even in this state? Fine, let me, Flanders, play the villain and lend you a hand!" Flanders thought to himself.
He took out a candy and put it into Dai Mubai's mouth to stabilize his injuries.
"Hmph! How dare you severely injure a disciple of Shrek Academy in Soto City? Are you implying that Shrek has no one to rely on?"
"I'll kill you right now to avenge Mu Bai!"
Flanders turned around and attacked Zhu Zhuqing, while at the same time observing Zhu Zhuqing's spirit.
Forced by his soul power pressure, Zhu Zhuqing needed to release her spirit to withstand it.
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and withstood Flanders's soul power pressure, coldly watching Flanders and Dai Mubai.
"Dean, don't hurt her!" Dai Mubai pleaded for Zhu Zhuqing, his injuries having eased a bit.
Flanders intended to recruit Zhu Zhuqing and also wanted to bring the two together, so naturally he wouldn't kill her; he just wanted to scare Zhu Zhuqing.
"Mu Bai, if we indulge her, what if outsiders harm our Shrek Academy students again?"
As he spoke, Flanders gave Dai Mubai a telepathic signal and a wink.
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up: "Dean, as long as Zhu Qing joins our academy, she won't be an outsider anymore!"
"Even if it's just a friendly sparring match between classmates, it's normal to get a few injuries, right?"
Flanders feigned hesitation: "This..."
"Young lady, for Mu Bai's sake, I can give you a chance. Would you like to join Shrek Academy?"
Despite the pain, Dai Mubai boasted about the prowess of Shrek Academy.
They use phrases like "strict entry and strict exit requirements," "graduation requirements of level 40," and "the most outstanding students are already elders of the Spirit Hall," etc.
Zhu Zhuqing watched the two perform coldly. Before she came, she had already learned the true nature of Shrek Academy from Qi Tian.
No matter how eloquently the two men spoke, she would not join Shrek Academy.
Just then, midnight arrived, and Qi Tian's soul arrived as promised.
"Zhuqing? Are you alright?" Qi Tian asked with concern.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a warmth in her heart, and her whole body immediately calmed down.
"I'm fine, let's go!"
"good!"
Qi Tian quickly activated the spatial teleportation function of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly burst forth with five-colored radiance, obscuring Flanders's senses.
"Huh? My eyes! What kind of soul skill is this?"
Flanders was blinded by the five-colored light, and not only that, his mental power was also unable to detect Zhu Zhuqing's condition.
Even a Soul Saint like him dared not underestimate such a terrifying soul skill, and he quickly released his Spirit.
But before he could even activate his spirit, Zhu Zhuqing vanished without a trace.
"Where is she?" Flanders stared in shock at the empty space in front of him.
Back at Shrek Academy, Flanders asked Shao Xin to treat Dai Mubai's injuries.
Although Shao Xin is a food-type support Soul Master, his candy beans not only have support functions, but also have healing Soul Skills.
"Hiss~ Who hit Mu Bai? He's so badly injured?"
Flanders shook his head, signaling Shao Xin not to ask any more questions.
Shao Xin carefully removed the small golden beads from Dai Mubai's body and then fed him various candies.
Some accelerate recovery, some amplify effects, and some provide treatment.
Dai Mubai's injuries recovered quickly, but his eyes were lifeless and he looked very dejected.
His fiancée broke off the engagement and defeated him with the cultivation of a Great Soul Master. How could he possibly cheer up? He might as well just wait to die.
...
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had already appeared more than ten miles away from Soto City.
If it weren't for the fear of unforeseen circumstances, Qi Tian could have run even further and then teleported Zhu Zhuqing here.
The reason he only ran a dozen miles was because he was afraid that if something happened to Zhu Zhuqing, he could go back to rescue her.
He now possesses the divine artifact, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and if he goes all out, he might be able to kill a Soul Saint or even a stronger one.
However, using the divine artifact now is too costly, and if the attack fails, he will be in danger.
"Zhuqing, have you decided where you want to go in the future?" Qi Tian asked.
Zhu Zhuqing felt much more relaxed at this moment. All she wanted to do now was to focus on her cultivation.
Of course, it would be even better if Qi Tian could accompany her.
"I want to go back with you and cultivate together!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
"good!"
Qi Tian did not refuse. Having a beautiful woman to look at while cultivating would make him less lonely.
[Congratulations, host! Zhu Zhuqing's fate has been slightly altered. The mission to possess Zhu Zhuqing has ended.]
[Quest Reward: The Method of Soul Contract] has been issued.]
[After the mission is completed, the host will be temporarily unable to possess the target Zhu Zhuqing. Please handle any potential consequences yourself.]
The system notification appeared again, and at the same time, Qi Tian had a new method for contracting a soul spirit.
The methods for fusing soul power and spiritual power with the soul imprint of a soul beast are all included, so Qi Tian doesn't need to explore them further.
They even have methods for forcibly extracting the souls of soul beasts and forming soul contracts with them.
However, with Qi Tian's current level of spiritual power, he probably wouldn't be able to hatch a high-level soul spirit.
"I still need to train my mental strength!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
The next day, Qi Tian took Zhu Zhuqing back to his own "dojo".
Back in the forest, the two breathed a sigh of relief. They had faced a Soul Saint head-on this time, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
"Zhuqing, you should stay in this room. If you need anything, just let me know!" Qi Tian said.
This place is only a hundred miles away from the city of Silves, which is not too far for a Soul Master.
They all have storage soul tools, making it convenient for them to buy anything.
"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
She still didn't say much, but Qi Tian could clearly feel that her tone had softened a lot, which was a good thing.
"We've been away for a few days, let's get back to training. Don't forget your goal is to become a Titled Douluo!"
The two began their cultivation.
Qi Tian's soul power had reached level 33, while Zhu Zhuqing, after her inner knot was untied, also broke through to level 23.
