Chapter 43 - Conflict Rekindled

A circle of black ripples erupted from Ye Zhiqiu, forcibly pressing back the aura of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Fatty. His limbs simultaneously contracted by a third, but a massive backplate rose on his back. His entire body glimmered with black light, and five soul rings ascended from beneath his feet, swirling above him. The five soul rings were arranged: one white, two yellow, and two purple. The Director of Foreign Affairs of Canghui Academy was, in fact, a Soul King ranked above level fifty.

Ning Rongrong looked at Qian Renyue with her eyes, silently asking if she should act. Qian Renyue saw Tang San already touching the soul instrument at his waist and shook her head. Ning Rongrong nodded and continued sitting at her seat, sipping tea.

Ye Zhiqiu spoke elegantly:"You children are immature. Don't speak recklessly. Call out your academy's teachers."

Fatty shouted angrily:"Old turtle, you think you can see our teacher? Just the three of us are enough to deal with you!"

"Everyone, everyone, soul masters, please don't fight in the shop! Small business, small business…" The shop owner ran out, unable to stop them, fearing the entire shop would be destroyed by the coming storm.

Ye Zhiqiu possessed the Xuan Turtle Martial Soul, and the one thing he despised most was being called a turtle. Originally, he only wanted to scare the youths a little; after all, he did not wish to bear the guilt of bullying the young, and he did not know the full strength of the academy behind these kids.

But Fatty offended his taboo, and Ye Zhiqiu was furious. In his anger, he laughed:"Fine. I'll teach you a lesson instead of your teacher. Let's go outside."

Saying this, he turned and walked out, the black turtle shell on his back wobbling in a somewhat comical way, but the soul power radiating from him was incredibly thick.

The students of Canghui Academy followed Ye Zhiqiu outside. Dai Mubai whispered to Tang San:"This old guy is over level fifty, and his Xuan Turtle Martial Soul is a very decent beast martial soul. Be careful. I'll hold off his attacks upfront, so your moves must be quick. I'm afraid I can't sustain it for too long."

Tang San replied:"We're not necessarily going to lose. His soul power is stronger than ours, but his martial soul has weaknesses."

"His martial soul is a Xuan Turtle. I can be sure he's a defensive-type soul master. Most of his active and passive skills are likely defensive. So even though his martial soul is much stronger than ours, the threat he poses in attack is minimal. High soul power but lacking suitable attack means—what threat can he really bring? Therefore, I suggest two methods to deal with him."

Hearing Tang San, Qian Renyue snorted coldly. She thought of Yu Xiaogang, a master who trained his disciples like this. Tang San underestimated soul masters too much, dismissing Soul Saint Zhao Wuji before, and now judging a Xuan Turtle soul master without considering other possibilities. Qian Renyue could not understand why he valued such a useless master, someone who couldn't even copy the key points properly.

Tang San and his group arrived outside, unaware of Qian Renyue's snort. Tang San continued:"I and Mubai will restrain him. Xuan Turtle is water-type, which counters Fatty's phoenix flames; water can restrain fire, and fire can restrain water. Fatty's flame is special. You attack him from the perimeter. With Oscar providing support, your attack duration will be fine."

"Our goal is to wear him out. Xiao Wu, you handle support. The three of us upfront will rotate with you to get supplies from Oscar. Although our soul power is weaker, with Xiao Ao and our numbers advantage, he doesn't have enough attack to threaten us."

At this, Ma Hongjun frowned, displeased:"Not even Ning Rongrong's sisters are stepping in? No team spirit, even Zhu Qing isn't coming. Dai, you need to manage this."

Tang San frowned as well:"Forget it, if they don't come, they don't come. Let's go."

The group, facing a Soul King, showed no fear and unleashed their martial souls, engaging Ye Zhiqiu fiercely.

Qian Renyue looked curious:"Zhu Qing, aren't you going?"

"No. They started by harassing the female students first."

"Hehe, rare occasion. Rongrong, what do you think, will they win or lose?"

"Two Soul Lords, three senior soul masters, facing a Soul King head-on—they overestimate themselves. Though they may not know his true strength, a teacher who leads students into Star Dou Forest to hunt soul rings isn't as easy to deal with as Tang San says."

"Right. Tang San's teacher says soul master martial souls are diverse, no two are alike. He says the Xuan Turtle is defensive, weak in attack, ignoring elemental attacks or variant martial souls. Isn't that contradictory?" Qian Renyue mentioned Yu Xiaogang with a slight smirk.

Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled:"Tang San respects his teacher and makes sense. Why do you—?"

"His teacher is Yu Xiaogang, called the Master, a soul master who never surpassed level thirty. Later he focused on martial soul research and published the ten core theories. Even so…" Qian Renyue sipped tea.

"Then why don't you respect him?"

"If he truly had skill, even a non-cultivating soul master would be respected. But he's a hypocrite. His theories were stolen."

"Stolen?" Zhu Zhuqing was incredulous.

"Yes. I can't fully explain how I know, but he was expelled from the Martial Soul Hall for presenting stolen research as his own."

Zhu Zhuqing went silent.

"Don't believe me?"

She said nothing, skeptical but cautious.

"Among Yu Xiaogang's ten core theories, the most famous is the one Tang San often quotes: 'No martial soul is worthless, only soul masters who accept being worthless.' Then why did Yu Xiaogang stop at level thirty? Zhu Qing, I tell you this not to drive a wedge, but to show you the difference. How you proceed next is up to you."

"Then why stay at Shrek Academy?"

"They're going to lose." Qian Renyue didn't answer, pointing outside.

Just as Tang San and the others were about to lose, a lazy voice interrupted:"Out at this hour? Aren't you resting?"

It was Zhao Wuji, and everyone froze.

"Back to sleep." Zhao Wuji didn't even glance at Canghui Academy, waving everyone from Shrek Academy back to the hotel.

Annoyed, Ye Zhiqiu spoke:"Wait a moment."

Zhao Wuji, a little impatient, turned:"What is it?"

Ye Zhiqiu said coldly:"You're a teacher at Shrek Academy, right? Your students just insulted Canghui Academy. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"Explanation? Why? Canghui Academy is a trash academy. Their words aren't an insult." Zhao Wuji, once a notorious rebel in the soul master world, not the strongest but very terrifying, naturally didn't take a level-fifty-plus soul master seriously.

He turned to the seven youths gathered around him:"You're useless. Can't even handle an old turtle. I'll deal with you back at the academy."

Ye Zhiqiu, enraged, released Xuan Water Ice Seal at full strength, the cold sweeping toward Zhao Wuji. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuji didn't use his martial soul; with a single palm, he sent him flying.

After dealing with Canghui Academy, Zhao Wuji scolded Tang San and the others:"You embarrassed me. Remember this. Back at the academy, I'll give you special training."

He looked at Qian Renyue and her two companions, sitting motionless:"Why didn't you three act just now?"

Qian Renyue, calm:"Teacher Zhao, do you even know why they fought?"

Zhao Wuji snorted:"The academy says a soul master who doesn't provoke trouble isn't a good soul master. Dai Mubai didn't tell you?"

Qian Renyue stared directly at him, unfazed:"Provoking trouble means harassing a girl under twenty in broad daylight?"

The Canghui Academy students, returning with the injured Ye Zhiqiu, were shocked. One female student's eyes reddened with grievance.

"Today, Canghui Academy was led by a Soul King. Because the academy isn't strong, you dared to say that. If a Soul Douluo or Title Douluo led, would you dare?" Qian Renyue asked disdainfully.

Zhao Wuji, losing face, was annoyed, but couldn't argue further. He said sternly:"You joined Shrek Academy as a unit. You must help each other outside. Only then can you defeat stronger soul masters."

Qian Renyue scoffed:"A unit? We sisters have been here some time. Did Ma Hongjun or Dai Mubai apologize for that day? This? A unit?" She mocked Zhao Wuji, taking Ning Rongrong:"Rongrong, let's go sleep."

Passing a female Canghui Academy student, Qian Renyue stopped:"You're the only one with the best soul ring combination. On this continent, to avoid harassment from male soul masters and earn respect, first you must strengthen yourself."

The girl nodded excitedly:"Thank you! I will train hard."

Qian Renyue continued:"If you reach Soul宗 before twenty-five, come to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Here, take this." She tossed a sect token to the Canghui female soul master and left with Ning Rongrong, ignoring the rest of Shrek Academy.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" Canghui Academy and the hotel guests gasped. The girl resolved to train hard, not to waste Qian Renyue's kindness.

The Shrek Academy group, internally unsettled, returned to their rooms.
