"Dugu Bo, don't go too far!" Meng Shenji suppressed his anger.
"How have I gone too far?" Dugu Bo scoffed. "As Yan Yan's parent, I decided to have her drop out of school for her future, and Yan Yan herself agreed. How is that going too far?"
"you!"
Meng Shenji was so choked up that his beard and hair stood on end, and he was speechless for a moment.
In this matter, their college is truly in the wrong.
Meng Shenji suppressed his anger and ignored the old poisoner.
He then turned his dignified gaze to Ye Lingling beside Dugu Bo.
He asked coldly, "Ye Lingling, are you also dropping out of school?"
Ye Lingling, a girl who had always been well-behaved since childhood, had never experienced such a scene before.
Faced with the direct questioning of a Soul Douluo burning with rage, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel fear.
Just as she was at a loss, a figure blocked her way.
Dongfang Jing stepped forward, completely shielding Ye Lingling behind him, and answered the question for her.
"Yes, Ye Lingling is also going to drop out of school."
The person next to Meng Shenji, the Education Committee member Zhilin, has the most fiery temper.
Upon seeing this, he immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face full of displeasure.
"Where did this junior come from? Who gave you the right to speak here!"
Before he could finish speaking, he wanted to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.
With a wave of his hand, Zhilin unleashed a massive surge of soul power, like an invisible wave, that crashed down on Dongfang Jing's entire body.
He had long suspected that the sudden desire of the two genius students, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, to drop out of school was definitely related to the unfamiliar faces around Dugu Bo.
Therefore, Zhilin did not hold back, but used the full power of the Contra!
Visibly, the air around Dongfang Jing began to distort slightly, emitting a hum that seemed to be struggling under the strain.
However, the expected scene of the boy being forced to his knees and begging for mercy did not occur.
Dongfang Jing stood there straight as ever, his posture as steady as Mount Tai, his calm expression unchanged.
Only a few strands of hair on his forehead and the hem of his clothes swayed slightly under that soul pressure.
Dongfang Jing's face showed a hint of disdain.
"Is that all the strength you have? Haven't you eaten?"
After saying that, he casually raised his hand and waved it forward, dispersing the surrounding soul power.
At the same time, his eyes narrowed.
Before Zhilin could react, he felt a pressure far more terrifying than the soul pressure he had just released, crashing down on his mind!
This invisible force made his legs go weak.
He staggered back a few steps, nearly falling to his knees on the spot.
How is this possible?!
Not only was Zhilin himself deeply shocked, but Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan beside him were also filled with astonishment.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Jing increased his soul power output again.
The double pressure, combined with mental energy, suddenly intensified. Zhilin felt as if an invisible mountain had crashed down on him, and he could no longer hold on.
"Thump!"
One knee slammed heavily onto the hard floor.
Damn it!
Zhilin was both surprised and ashamed.
This kid's soul power is actually at the level of a Soul Emperor?
Moreover, his mental strength is terrifying!
He, a dignified level 82 Soul Douluo, was actually forced to kneel on one knee by a brat who appeared out of nowhere in one move.
If this gets out, he'll lose all face!
Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, Zhilin was about to summon his martial spirit, the Azure Vine, to fight back.
But Dongfang Jing on the other side withdrew his power.
The pressure suddenly disappeared.
Zhilin even lurched forward because he couldn't adjust his center of gravity in time, looking somewhat disheveled.
Dongfang Jing said calmly, "Alright, we don't have any deep-seated grudges, there's no need to make things too tense."
"Students withdrawing from school is the right of the students and their parents, and your school has no right to interfere."
He glanced at the three education commissioners whose faces were ashen, then changed the subject.
"Unless you really want to cause trouble?"
"You arrogant brat!"
Zhilin couldn't stand it and was about to retaliate.
However, Meng Shenji suddenly grabbed his arm and urgently transmitted his voice, "Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Zhilin was taken aback.
He followed Meng Shenji's tense gaze.
They then realized that, without them noticing, the white-haired woman standing behind the mirror had locked onto the three of them with her cold, icy blue eyes.
I was simply being watched by those eyes.
A chill emanating from the depths of their souls surged forth, sending shivers down the spines of even these Soul Douluo-level powerhouses.
It was as if if they dared to move even slightly, they would instantly turn into ice sculptures and die!
Beside the white-haired woman stood a gentle, green-haired woman.
Although they didn't deliberately release their aura, the unfathomable feeling they exuded was clearly something they couldn't afford to provoke.
Zhilin's clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.
When Dugu Bo saw that the three old guys suddenly looked like they had eaten shit, he couldn't help but laugh.
He waved his hand: "Alright, I've explained everything to you. Farewell."
After saying that, everyone turned around without looking back and left the Education Commission office with unhurried steps.
The three education committee members, led by Meng Shenji, could only watch helplessly as their figures disappeared through the door, unable to utter a single word.
Only after Xue Di's figure had completely disappeared into the distance did the bone-chilling cold that had lingered in the room finally begin to fade away.
"call..."
The three education commissioners breathed a sigh of relief in unison, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
They looked at the wall, where ice crystals had even formed.
Bai Baoshan patted his round belly, lowered his voice, and said tremblingly, "A Title Douluo! That white-haired woman is definitely a Title Douluo!"
Meng Shenji nodded solemnly: "And she's a Title Douluo of considerable rank! I just don't know her name."
Zhilin, standing to the side, frowned and pondered, "And that silver-haired kid, his mental strength is even stronger than ours! Just who are these people?"
The three education commissioners looked at each other, exchanging glances, but none of them could come to a conclusion.
"Sigh!" Meng Shenji pounded his chest heavily, full of regret and resentment. "Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, these two students are pillars of the empire! They are also indispensable main members of our Royal Fighting Team!"
He became agitated and slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"Without them, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy has absolutely no chance of competing with the Spirit Hall in this year's Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament!"
Bai Baoshan suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "What about Qin Ming? He had the most contact with those two students. If we ask him to persuade them, we should be able to get them to stay, right?"
"it's useless."
Zhilin shook his head, rejecting his idea.
"Given Qin Ming's personality, don't we know him well? He would definitely be the first to stand up and try to persuade him to stay, but it seems that it has no effect."
Meng Shenji's entire demeanor darkened. He slammed his fist on the thick wooden table and said in a deep voice, "This matter not only involves a powerful Title Douluo with a mysterious identity, but also concerns the dignity of my royal family. It is of utmost importance!"
He stood up and said decisively, "I will go to the palace now and report to His Majesty!"
