As Dai Mubai finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over Qianyu Academy.
The students who heard his words, mentioning the Star Luo Royal Family, exchanged confused glances. Was there some hidden story behind this?
Wang Changzhi furrowed his brow at the mention of the Star Luo Royal Family and stepped forward again. "I don't care about your Star Luo Royal Family, or the Zhu family. Right now, this is the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, and Qianyu Academy!"
"And Zhu Zhuqing is a student of our Qianyu Academy!"
"Regardless of your identity, and whatever entanglements you have, you cannot force Zhu Zhuqing to do anything!"
After a pause, he raised an eyebrow. "Moreover, your Shrek Academy has no credibility here in Qianyu Academy. Now, please leave!"
"You!"
Dai Mubai was not yet angry, but seeing his subordinate Ma Hongjun finally overcoming his fear, he took a step forward, and with a roar, flames seemed to flicker around him. "With this garbage of a Qianyu Academy, you think you can compare with us, Shrek?"
"Right now, you're relying on home-ground advantage and having more people. If you're so confident, come out and fight me one-on-one. Let me show you why Shrek is called Shrek!"
Oscar, seeing that both his brothers were being so brave, also didn't want to embarrass them and shouted, "If you have the guts, fight one-on-one!"
"Fine!"
As soon as Oscar finished speaking, Wang Changzhi's eyes locked onto him, nodding eagerly.
Then, he stepped forward again. "You want a one-on-one? I'll fulfill your wish!"
"Uh…"
Oscar was stunned. This wasn't the way he imagined things would go. He quickly retreated behind Dai Mubai. "Boss Dai…"
"Tch!"
From the side, the sound of mocking came from the Qianyu Academy students.
Oscar's face turned red.
Dai Mubai, too, looked embarrassed. "Little Oscar is an auxiliary soul master. What does he have to fight with you? If you really want to fight, fine, I'll fight you!"
"Heh."
Wang Changzhi sneered, waving his hand. "Brothers, go!"
At once, all the students with soul rings above the third ring moved forward, surrounding Dai Mubai and his group.
"You! You all!"
Dai Mubai was shocked and angry. This wasn't how he imagined the one-on-one fight would go!
Wang Changzhi wasn't being polite, cutting him off. "What's with 'you'? Did you really think my 'Boss Wang' title is just for show?"
"I've tried talking reason with you, but you didn't listen. Since you want to fight, what reason do I need to give you?"
He spoke politely when talking reason, but when it came to fighting, he threw his sleeves back, acting all swaggering.
This was Wang Changzhi, the "Boss Wang" of Qianyu Academy.
"Give it to them, beat them up!"
With that, Wang Changzhi led the charge directly at Dai Mubai.
At the same time, soul rings began to shine.
It was truly a scene of a brawl.
"White Tiger Transformation, White Tiger Shield!"
Although Dai Mubai was strong, when surrounded by so many people, he was starting to feel the pressure. He could only manage to cast two defense-enhancing skills.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were in for a rough time.
One was purely offensive, and the other was an auxiliary soul master, so neither of them could handle such a large number of punches and kicks.
Ma Hongjun tried to break free from the encirclement, but before he could activate "Phoenix Wing Flight," a heavy slap landed on his forehead, followed by a flurry of soul skills, and before he could even "fly," he had already been knocked down.
Watching his comrades get beaten up while he could only protect himself made Dai Mubai burn with anger.
However, with so many Qianyu Academy students surrounding them, he had no good options.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zhu Zhuqing, is this the result you wanted to see?"
"Now, we've fought, and we've been beaten. Can't you come out and see me?"
"Whatever misunderstandings we have, can we settle them at home, please?"
"Zhu Zhuqing, does such a barbaric academy really suit you?"
"Only if you return to Shrek, under the teachings of the Master, can we go further. Don't waste your talent in a place like this!"
Dai Mubai words were a mix of self-pity and a subtle belittlement of Qianyu Academy.
This only made the Qianyu Academy students act even more fiercely.
After Dai Mubai words, Zhu Zhuqing voice finally rang out: "If you continue to insult my academy, I will never let you off!"
The Qianyu Academy students, who had been watching with righteous anger, now looked at each other with a surprised expression. They quickly cleared a path, and Zhu Zhuqing, her presence as cold as ever, walked out slowly.
The students' fists finally had a moment to rest.
"Zhu Zhuqing…"
Dai Mubai and his group, who were injured and battered, looked at Zhu Zhuqing figure and their eyes became teary.
But they were still haunted by Zhu Zhuqing words, "I will never let you off." Their hearts trembled.
What kind of charm did Qianyu Academy possess that, in just a few months, had made Zhu Zhuqing so resolute?
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing expression was unchanged.
Her gaze was as cold as ice. "You got beaten up because you asked for it. It has nothing to do with me!"
"If it weren't for you coming after me…"
Dai Mubai instinctively wanted to rebut, but Zhu Zhuqing cut him off: "Don't use those words to manipulate me!"
"I didn't ask you to come after me. I never wanted to see or hear anything about you!"
"Moreover…"
"I've already made it very clear: there is no future between us!"
"You came here without regard for my feelings, and now you still want to manipulate me with these words? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Dai Mubai stood stunned, a sharp pain coursing through his heart.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't stop there. "As for what you call 'home'... Heh, go find my twin sisters. I have nothing, and will never have anything, with you!"
"You don't deserve it. You're not qualified!"
"And about 'Master's teachings,' you think they'll make me go further?"
"Heh!"
"Master's teachings were already debunked last time. Have you gone blind, or is your memory so poor that you've already forgotten so soon?"
Dai Mubai and the others looked even more embarrassed at her words.
Li Yu appearance had completely overturned many of the teachings of Master Yu Xiaogang, especially the foundational and crucial theory about the "soul ring absorption age limit."
They knew this, but they couldn't accept it because they had trained based on that theory.
"As for wasting talent, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!"
Zhu Zhuqing released her aura without holding back. Three soul rings rose around her.
She stared directly into Dai Mubai eyes, her voice calm: "Take a good look. What level am I at now?"
As she finished speaking, Dai Mubai and his companions, along with all the Qianyu Academy students, froze, their pupils narrowing.
Although Zhu Zhuqing still had only three soul rings, the aura she was exuding clearly indicated that she had reached the 40th level!
With just one more soul ring, she could advance to the Four-ring Soul Ancestor level!
And Zhu Zhuqing was only 14 years old!
Dai Mubai opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Zhu Zhuqing, seeing her effect had taken hold, continued: "Now, to answer your original question…"
"Hide? Why would I hide? I never have."
"As for my Zhu family and the Star Luo Royal Family... Heh. Do you really think with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing here, you have the weight or the qualification to threaten me with that?"
"Do you think I care about these things?"
She paused, her tone growing even colder as she uttered a single word:
"Get lost!"
