"Lose the fight and the field—what a disgrace."
"Back at the Academy, every one of you will train double."
Zhao Wuji stood in place, sweeping his gaze across the Shrek Group before settling on Dai Mubai.
Already blind with rage, the latter roared, "So we just let it go?"
"Teacher Zhao, just because he's a Heaven Dou Academy student, you won't help us get revenge?"
Yang Yuan said with a smile, "Teacher, your students seem quite unhappy with you. Still not planning to act?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji couldn't help muttering inwardly.
"Act?"
"You think I'm stupid?"
He grinned. "What are you saying? I'm a teacher—how could I lay hands on a junior like you?"
Then, turning to Dai Mubai, his face darkened instantly. "Where's your backbone? A fight between peers—lose and it's over. You still need a teacher to fight your battles?"
He cursed inwardly: Idiot, didn't you hear the kid has backing?
If he really attacked, their whole group would probably be minced meat by whoever stood behind Yang Yuan.
Dai Mubai felt even more humiliated, but the scolding sobered him slightly; he clenched his teeth and stayed silent.
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly.
Facing Yang Yuan, he cupped his fists and smiled. "Little brother, you've finished teaching them, so I'll take them away."
"Wait!" Yang Yuan called.
Zhao Wuji's brows rose; spirit power quietly gathered.
If Yang Yuan still wanted trouble, then his Titan King title wasn't for show.
But Yang Yuan merely said mildly, "Just now your Shrek students fought Canghui students and wrecked quite a bit of the hotel."
"Before you leave, don't forget to pay for the damage."
So that was it.
The spirit powerZhao Wuji had gathered instantly dispersed; he exhaled in relief.
He didn't fear trouble, but he had no wish to offend Heaven Dou Academy either.
"Which of you is the hotel owner?"
Zhao Wuji looked around and called out.
"I am." The owner stepped out from the crowd at once.
After bargaining, Zhao Wuji paid the compensation, then glanced at the Shrek Group and told Oscar, "Little Ao, go to the dining hall, get Fatty, and head straight to the rooms."
"Oh, okay." Oscar answered and returned to the restaurant.
Zhao Wuji strode forward, grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar, and lifted him like a chick.
"Let's go."
Xiao Wu supported Tang San on the other side, Zhu Zhuqing brought up the rear, and the group slunk back to their rooms in disarray.
Elsewhere.
The Canghui middle-aged man stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "I am Ye Zhiqiu, External Affairs Director of Canghui Academy. Thank you, little brother, for helping our academy out of that predicament."
Seeing that Yang Yuan was not only a Prodigy but also a Heaven Dou student, Ye Zhiqiu was eager to befriend him.
Yang Yuan, however, had no such interest and replied casually, "Director Ye, no need to thank me. I troubled them because they courted disaster and provoked me first."
Realizing Yang Yuan had no wish to connect, Ye Zhiqiu could only leave with his students, disappointed.
Yang Yuan returned to the restaurant, asked the waiter to serve another full table, and continued the meal he'd been forced to interrupt.
Meanwhile, back in the room, Zhao Wuji set Dai Mubai down on the bed.
Clenching his teeth, the latter asked, "Teacher Zhao, why didn't you act just now?"
Zhao Wuji snapped, "Act?"
"How could I act?"
"Didn't you hear his driver say he's the chief student of Heaven Dou Academy and a guest of the Crown Prince?"
"Think about it—when Little Ao broke through thirtieth rank, I still followed you here to protect you."
"And Yang Yuan?"
"Do you think no one's shadowing him?"
"With his talent, what level of expert do you think Heaven Dou Academy would send?"
"At worst I could run if I couldn't win—what about you?"
At those words everyone's face turned pale.
Dai Mubai also fell silent, then said in a low voice, "Sorry, Teacher Zhao, I didn't think it through."
Seeing Dai Mubai's downcast look, Zhao Wuji consoled him, "It's fine. You did nothing wrong this time; you just had the bad luck to run into an even bigger monster."
On another bed, though grievously injured, Tang San hadn't lost consciousness.
After eating one of Oscar's big Sausages, he had recovered a little.
He said bitterly, "I never imagined that after only six years, Yang Yuan's strength could reach such a level."
Xiao Wu comforted him, "Third brother, don't lose heart. I believe you'll catch up to him one day."
Oscar suddenly asked, "Little San, Xiao Wu, didn't you say his Spirit was an eye? How did it suddenly turn into Blue Silver Grass?"
Everyone's gaze swung toward them.
Xiao Wu was also puzzled. "I don't know. When he fought us back then, he used an Eye Martial Soul."
"Fatty and Boss Dai were both injured by his Eye Martial Soul."
Zhao Wuji sighed, "He's probably the legendary twin spirits."
"I never thought that in my lifetime I'd actually see someone who possesses twin spirits."
Yet a sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"No—he might not be twin spirits."
Everyone was stunned.
How could Yang Yuan not be twin spirits?
Then Tang San continued, "Although Yang Yuan indeed used two Spirits, his Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, and even his First Spirit Skill was the same as mine—Binding."
"Blue Silver Grass is only a trash spirit, yet the hardness of Yang Yuan's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul far surpasses mine."
"It's as if his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul merely wears the skin of Blue Silver Grass; its essence isn't Blue Silver Grass at all."
"Add to that his First Spirit Skill being Binding, identical to mine, so I venture to guess..."
"Yang Yuan does not possess the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul; he simply has some method to copy Spirits, and he copied my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
"But while he can copy the Spirit, he can't copy the toxin within my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
"And the reason his Blue Silver Grass was so hard was simply because his Spirit Power Level is higher than mine, which is why I couldn't break free."
After hearing Tang San's analysis, everyone felt it was unbelievable.
"There's a Spirit like that in this world?"
"If Yang Yuan can copy any Spirit and Spirit Ability, won't he be invincible in the future?" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed.
Tang San shook his head; a gleam of astuteness returned to his eyes, and he said decisively:
"No. If I'm not mistaken, there must be some limitation to the conditions for copying Spirits and Spirit Abilities."
"No matter how powerful a Spirit is, it will always have a weakness."
A sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes as he secretly resolved:
He would remember today's humiliation.
He would find Yang Yuan's weakness—and then defeat him!
