"This...this is Shrek Academy? It looks so awful."
Chen Feng, who had come to Shrek Academy full of anticipation, instantly fell apart upon seeing this scene.
This was not what he had imagined!
Chen's mother, standing to the side, was also somewhat silent, but this was, after all, a Soul Master Academy, and perhaps there was something special inside.
So she let Chen Feng register as usual!
"Brother Qian...you look like a Soul Master too, right?
Why don't we register together?"
Chen Feng turned to Qian Renshang and suggested, but Qian Renshang shook his head.
"No, not yet...I just came here to take a look."
He surveyed the registration site, and only a few people caught his attention.
Behind the old man stood a tall, blond-haired youth who looked somewhat extraordinary.
Two other people in the registration line also caught his attention.
One was a young man dressed in a blue outfit, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes held a hint of gloom.
Beside him stood a tall girl with a scorpion braid that reached her waist.
She was graceful and quite beautiful.
"What a coincidence?"
Qian Renshang murmured, frowning slightly.
Seeing Qian Renshang's reluctance, Chen Feng happily went to register himself.
Just as Qian Renshang was observing, a sudden commotion pulled him back to reality!
"Poor bastard... what kind of Soul Master Academy are you applying to?"
"You want a refund of your registration fee? Are you dreaming?"
"Give me back my ten gold soul coins... that's what I've saved for years!"
A crowd had gathered at the admissions office. Qian Renshang felt the voices sounded familiar.
He immediately pushed his way through and saw a young man in black lying on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth, his body covered in wounds, clearly having been beaten.
Beside him, an elderly woman was weeping.
The surrounding crowd showed little sympathy, merely pointing and whispering, and looking with some fear at the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed figure before them.
"What happened?"
The boy was none other than Chen Feng, who had just excitedly registered.
Qian Renshang, his face grim, immediately helped Chen Feng up and comforted the woman beside him.
"Brother Qian... I didn't meet their quota when I registered, and they wanted my ten gold soul coins back, but they refused, and then they beat me,"
Chen Feng cried.
Ten gold soul coins were money he had saved for years, scrimping and saving to earn it.
He was certain that since they wouldn't let him register, the registration fee should be refunded!
"You didn't even understand the registration rules and you're blaming us?
Shrek Academy only requires monsters under 12 years old with a soul power level of 21 or higher."
"Registration fees can't be refunded casually, otherwise any Tom, Dick, or Harry could register, and the order would be chaotic.
Ten gold soul coins are just a small punishment."
"Besides, I didn't say I definitely wouldn't return them... Defeat me, and these ten gold soul coins will be returned in full!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai, a senior student, directly mocked.
In this world, strength is paramount, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
"But...you didn't even inform us of the registration requirements beforehand!"
Chen Feng continued to argue.
"Shut up!"
Dai Mubai said impatiently, "I don't care about your opinions...apologize now and get out of here, don't bother others, or I'll break your legs!"
A roar mixed with over 30 levels of soul power made Chen Feng's face turn pale.
He was just a one-ring soul master, and his first soul ring was only ten years old.
How could he possibly be a match for such a genius?
He gave a bitter smile.
"Heh...is this what a high-level soul master is like?"
His previous spirit collapsed instantly, and he apologized to Dai Mubai.
"I'm sorry...Mother...let's go back, we can't beat them!"
This usually optimistic boy was completely broken, as if his spine had been broken.
Dai Mubai remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.
There was no pleasure or mockery...
the weak were not worthy of his emotions.
The onlookers watched coldly. In the Douluo Continent, soul power was paramount, and no one was willing to stand up for a boy with no future.
A boy in a blue outfit squinted at the scene.
"Third Brother...should we do something about this?"
The girl with the scorpion braid whispered, but Tang San shook his head, his face cold.
"Xiao Wu, this has nothing to do with us. Just watch. It's not worth it..."
Tang San wouldn't save someone who had no use to him.
"Wait!"
Just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"I think...this is wrong. The fault isn't yours, but this so-called Shrek Academy."
"And you're not the one who should apologize!"
Everyone looked ahead in astonishment.
A somewhat thin figure stood in front of Chen Feng, one hand on the boy's shoulder, calmly meeting Dai Mubai's gaze.
"Ten gold soul coins, give them back to him!"
Qian Renshang said firmly. Dai Mubai was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.
"Heh...another one to stick his neck out, but...I'm not going to give them back.
What can you do about it?"
With that, he stomped his foot!
Two yellow and one purple spirit rings suddenly appeared, revealing his status as a three-ring spirit master!
Strength was his confidence!
"Brother Qian...should we leave? We're no match for him."
Chen Feng pleaded, pulling Qian Renshang's hand.
Such a young three-ring spirit master was truly a genius, not someone they, as commoners, could handle.
But Qian Renshang ignored him.
He chuckled.
"It seems...I was too hasty. With someone like you, there's no point in trying to reason with you."
"Instead...we should...crush you first before trying to reason with you!"
With that,
Qian Renshang stomped one foot and charged directly at Dai Mubai.
His speed was as fast as lightning, creating a whooshing sound.
"So fast!"
Dai Mubai was on high alert.
He instantly realized he might have run into a brick wall and quickly used his spirit skill.
White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
White Tiger Protective Barrier!
Buzz! Buzz!
In an instant, a faint golden light emanated from Dai Mubai's body, and his aura became even stronger.
He seemed to have transformed into a beast, his defense greatly enhanced.
A confident smile played on his lips as he prepared to act, when suddenly a figure appeared before him like a ghost.
The figure's appearance was completely unexpected, catching him off guard.
The opponent didn't use any complex or flashy techniques; instead, they simply threw a punch, its force sharp and unstoppable, aimed directly at Dai Mubai's abdomen.
"Pfft!" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his face contorted, and he spat out a mouthful of bitter liquid.
The force of the punch was immense; he felt his internal organs shift, and his body was involuntarily thrown backward.
However, in the instant he flew backward, the figure reappeared above him with astonishing speed.
The opponent's face was expressionless, cold and resolute.
They raised a foot and stomped down hard.
"Bang!" With a dull thud, Dai Mubai crashed heavily to the ground as if hit by a cannonball.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body collapsing limply to the ground, unable to even get up for a moment.
Immediately afterward, a young man appeared beside him, unhesitatingly stepping on his head, his tone chillingly calm:
"Give me my money back!"
