The next morning.
Everyone finished breakfast early and gathered on the training ground. When they arrived, Zhao Wuji was already there waiting.
Ignoring the way everyone scrutinized his disheveled appearance, Zhao Wuji instructed Dai Mubai:"Mubai, you're the team leader. Lead the team. Remember, I won't intervene unless it's a matter of life or death."
Dai Mubai stepped forward, his expression serious."Yes, Teacher Zhao."
He then turned to the other students and said:"The Star Dou Forest is not a place to joke around. There are many soul beasts there, all extremely aggressive, and they have little goodwill toward humans. Everyone must respond carefully. Tang San, you'll lead at the front. Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ning Yueyue, you three follow behind Tang San. Yueyue, your offensive abilities are strong, so pay attention to Xiao Ao and Rongrong. Fatty, Xiao Wu, you two are on the left and right flanks. I'll be at the rear. Zhuqing, you're in charge of detection—stay with me at the back, just in case. After entering the forest, maintain this formation and stay alert at all times. Let's move out."
Xiao Wu asked in confusion:"Leader Dai, why does Zhuqing have to handle detection and stay with you? Isn't that troublesome?"
"If a difficult soul beast appears, our Soul Fusion Technique will make them the trump card of our team," Qian Ren Yue said, glancing at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai sighed, thinking to himself that Ning Yueyue really knew his capabilities."Yes. Zhuqing and I have the Soul Fusion Agent. To be safe, Zhuqing stays with me."
Recalling what Qian Ren Yue had said to Dai Mubai the previous night, everyone dared not comment further. Even Oscar did not tease him about his royal status.
Dai Mubai seemed to have come to a decision. Ignoring the awkward atmosphere, he ordered everyone to start running.
As they continued, everyone's stamina was gradually consumed. Even Dai Mubai and Tang San, who had the best endurance, were somewhat tired. Yet Qian Ren Yue and Ning Rongrong showed no sign of fatigue. Only then did everyone realize that the two really hadn't lied the other day. It had been Flandel's misunderstanding.
Oscar, who had eaten several restorative sausages to recover his breath, felt embarrassed. He regretted doubting such outstanding individuals, suspecting they had lied to avoid training.
After a day of travel, the group arrived at a small town on the edge of Star Dou Forest to resupply and rest.
Zhao Wuji led them to a regular inn in town and ordered them to rest there at their own expense before leaving.
The group sat at a table in the center of the hall. The atmosphere wasn't exactly harmonious. Zhu Zhuqing sipped her tea coldly, saying nothing, lost in thought. Ning Rongrong and Qian Ren Yue whispered to each other, while Dai Mubai spoke little. Only Ma Hongjun and Oscar were joking around, keeping the mood from being too tense.
The hall was already about sixty to seventy percent full when a group of people suddenly entered. Similar to Shrek Academy's team, there were eight of them.
At the head was a man in his forties, behind him a group of young people around twenty years old—six young men surrounding a well-built young woman. They all wore matching moon-white uniforms with the words "Canghui" embroidered on the left shoulder.
"That girl's not bad-looking, Leader Dai. These guys must be from Canghui Academy," Fatty said, his small eyes fixated on the only girl in the group, Ma Hongjun's eyes shining with excitement as he stared relentlessly.
Dai Mubai sneered, "Just the small Canghui Academy. Nothing impressive."
Neither Fatty nor Dai Mubai tried to lower their voices. Soul masters naturally had better hearing than ordinary people. Despite the hall's noise, the middle-aged man from the group noticed them. Frowning, when he saw that Shrek Academy's table was just a bunch of children, his expression darkened further.
Oscar, sitting beside Tang San, chuckled softly."Looks like there's a good show coming."
Tang San looked at him, puzzled."What show?"
Oscar whispered, "This is part of our training. Dean Flandel said, a soul master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good soul master. Those who don't dare stir trouble are mediocre. Provoking other soul academy students is the safest—you're at most going to fight."
Tang San couldn't help but laugh."Our dean's quotes could form a whole encyclopedia. Judging by their age, Canghui Academy should be a high-level soul master academy."
The eight members of Canghui Academy sat down two tables away from Shrek. Tang San noticed from the corner of his eye that the obvious teacher, the middle-aged man, whispered to one of the young men. The young man then stood up and walked toward Shrek's table, heading directly toward Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's eyes showed a trace of disdain. Tang San could see it, naturally aware, but Dai Mubai didn't even glance at him.
At that moment, the waiter brought the first dish to their table.
The Canghui Academy youth quickened his pace and, in the waiter's startled shout, collided with him. The dish flew toward Dai Mubai's head.
"Don't waste food," Tang San said calmly. His left hand shot out like lightning, stabilizing the waiter, while his right hand caught the dish, using Crane Grasp Dragon Seize Skill to hold it without spilling, gently placing it on the table. Simultaneously, he pulled the waiter aside.
The Canghui Academy youth froze for a moment. Hidden behind the waiter, he hadn't seen Tang San's actions clearly, but a sly smile appeared on his face."Sorry about that," he said, still moving forward.
It seemed he wanted to pass by Dai Mubai, but one of his feet secretly swept to kick a chair leg under Dai Mubai.
It was just an ordinary wooden chair. If the leg broke, Dai Mubai couldn't sit steadily. His kick was very subtle, the upper body unmoving, and without close attention, it would go unnoticed.
Just as the youth kicked, Dai Mubai acted.
After suffering grievances from Qian Ren Yue, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing in the past few days, Dai Mubai was already angry. How could he let this provocation pass?
A muffled "bang" echoed. The youth felt as if he had kicked an iron plate; his calf went numb. Immediately, Dai Mubai's palm struck.
The youth raised his hands to block, but the soul power in Dai Mubai's palm pushed them away completely. The strike landed solidly on his chest.
The youth, tall and sturdy, was sent flying like a weightless scarecrow, crashing into two tables and heading toward the rest of the Canghui group.
The middle-aged man quickly stood, catching the youth by the shoulders. The youth's face went pale, and he spat blood, looking completely weakened.
Dai Mubai straightened, extending his body from the previous strike."Really sorry, slipped up," he said, eyes flashing the White Tiger essence, full of disdain and arrogance. Even Shrek's own students felt he was a bit infuriating.
The remaining six Canghui students immediately stood, glaring angrily at Shrek's table, but the middle-aged man stopped them.
He helped the youth sit and shouted at Dai Mubai:"You kids, which academy are you from?"
Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed with arrogance."Pandao? You're not worthy." He sat back down.
Fatty, meanwhile, had already started eating, saying,"Hmm, taste's okay, though a bit undercooked. Let's make do."
The Canghui teacher's face turned iron-blue with anger."What an arrogant bunch. Teach them a lesson."
The Canghui students, waiting for his command, immediately charged at Tang San's table—except for the injured youth and the lone female student.
"Fight? I like it," Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly, jumping up without hesitation.
Seeing Xiao Wu move, Tang San stood as well, a faint purple aura appearing in his eyes.
Everyone, except Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Qian Ren Yue, stood and released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.
Seeing Shrek's team unleash their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, the Canghui students' expressions darkened.
The middle-aged man stepped forward."I'm Ye Zhiqiu, Director of Foreign Affairs of Canghui Academy. Which sect are you from?"
"We're from Shrek Academy," Fatty said proudly before Dai Mubai could speak, glaring at the lone female student.
Ye Zhiqiu paused, thoughtful. Clearly, he wasn't familiar with Shrek Academy."Shrek Academy? Never heard of it."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly."That's because you're ignorant."
Although surprised by Shrek's students' soul power and age, Ye Zhiqiu knew retreating now would disgrace Canghui Academy.
For the sake of the academy's reputation, he released his Martial Soul."Mysterious Turtle, possess me!"
