"Shameless old bastard, you actually dared to attack me, a great Soul Master!"
Jiang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this. He had only spoken out because he was confident that the other party, as the head of the college, would not hold a grudge against the students who had enrolled. He never expected that this old scoundrel would be so shameless as to keep him here.
"teacher!"
"Dean?"
The new members of Shrek Academy spoke up, saying that although Jiang Xuan's words were rude, it was inappropriate for a dean to attack a junior.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just disciplining you on behalf of your parents."
"Remember this lesson next time, and be more respectful to your elders!"
...
"snort!"
"You want to teach my little Xuanzi a lesson? Flander, you're not qualified~~~"
Could a seventh-ring Soul Saint resist an attack? No!
Just as Jiang Xuan resigned himself to his fate and prepared to let the other party control him, a familiar shout resounded throughout Shrek Academy. The soul power contained in the echo made everyone present cover their ears.
A surge of energy rippled out from mid-air, but fortunately it was only aimed at Flander's right hand, which was holding Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan escaped and then retreated several steps.
Who is it?
"Zhao Wuji, someone's here to cause trouble!"
Flander's expression was solemn. Although he had not used his soul power when he captured Jiang Xuan, relying entirely on the physical qualities of a Soul Saint, the person who could interrupt him with just his energy must be of a higher cultivation level than him.
Just to be on the safe side, Flander called out to Zhao Wuji, immediately summoning the second strongest person in Shrek Academy.
"Hahaha, so even you, Flander, have moments when you can't control the situation?"
A hearty laugh echoed from within Shrek Academy. Several students spotted a short, ordinary-looking student who appeared remarkably robust. Though shorter than twelve-year-old Jiang Xuan, his height gave him an unusually imposing presence.
His broad shoulders were like city walls, and his coat could not hide his strong, steel-like muscles.
"Immovable King, Zhao Wuji!"
Having escaped, Jiang Xuan naturally recognized the newcomer as yet another Soul Saint from Shrek Academy.
Martial Soul: Mighty Vajra Bear; Level 76 Battle Soul: Saint!
The academy has one Soul Emperor and two Soul Saints on the surface, which is indeed rare in terms of strength. If Jiang Xuan remembers correctly, Shrek Academy also has two high-level Soul Masters, one of whom is a food-type Soul Saint.
It's a college with decent academic strength, but its vision and teaching standards are questionable.
However, now is not the time for me to show off. I lightly stepped away from the center of the energy emanating from the source and quickly moved away. Now I'll just watch the show.
"What happened?"
Zhao Wuji arrived beside Flander, and Li Yusong, who was holding the Dragon Pattern Staff, was already in a state of martial spirit possession.
"Owl, possess me!"
Before he could reply to Zhao Wuji, the pressure from the other party made Flander let out a low growl, and immediately the best martial soul configuration of two yellow, two purple, and three black appeared on his body.
Flander's eyes sharpened, his hands extended sharp claws, and a pair of brown wings spread out from his back.
After the martial spirit possessed him, the pressure lessened considerably, and he flew into the air and asked loudly.
"I wonder which senior has come to visit? I, Flander, would like to make an appearance and have a chat!"
"snort!"
The person who released the energy snorted coldly, and then the sound came from all around, seemingly both distant and near.
"Flander the Four-Eyed Owl? Immovable King Zhao Wuji? What a grand display! People don't want to join your academy, yet you forcibly detain them. Is this how you should behave after retiring from the martial world and opening an academy?"
The voice sounded somewhat aged, but the powerful energy contained within it made Zhao Wuji, who had just entered the circle, feel pressured and had no choice but to release his martial spirit to defend himself.
"Mighty King Kong Bear, possess me!"
"Contra?"
After being possessed by a martial spirit, Zhao Wuji's height increased by a meter, and his bulging muscles and terrifying figure were no longer the short man he once was.
Even so, his expression, like Flanders', was one of solemnity.
With the two Soul Saints possessing their Martial Souls, and still able to exert pressure from a distance, the newcomer could only be a powerhouse above the Soul Douluo level.
"An owl and a bear, you're both doing very well, you're doing very well indeed."
As the person slowly appeared in the air, their age could be vaguely discerned beneath their pale hair, but their powerful soul energy made them appear not only healthy like an ordinary old person, but also full of energy.
Faced with the two people possessing their martial spirits, the old man slammed his dragon-headed cane on the ground, and then one spirit ring after another swayed and appeared behind him.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—a total of eight spirit rings!
Contra!
Upon seeing such a configuration of spirit rings, everyone present could easily discern the person's cultivation level.
Third Brother
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu. It seems that the other party is here to see the dean of the academy."
Upon seeing that it was Contra, the rabbit, who had been transformed for 100,000 years, immediately bristled and hid behind Tang San, as if afraid that the other party would notice it.
Fortunately, because he was confronting Flander, the other party didn't seem to notice him.
Xiao Wu could only try to suppress her aura as much as possible, praying that the other party would not pay attention to her.
With eight spirit rings and a dragon-headed martial spirit cane, how could the two who had traveled the continent for many years not know the identity of the newcomer?
His face immediately turned bitter;
"A peerless dragon and snake, the Dragon Lord Meng Shu!"
"I wonder what brings Senior Dragon Lord to Shrek Academy. I apologize for the little incident that just happened."
"Haha, yes, our Shrek Academy is rather humble. We didn't know that Senior Dragon was coming, and it was truly impolite of us not to greet you in advance."
Along with Flander, the honest and taciturn Zhao Wuji also shamelessly spoke.
The two's strange attitude puzzled the other students. Two Soul Saints and one Soul Emperor—even if the newcomer was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, they shouldn't be so "lowly."
Dai Mubai, who had previously been caught in self-doubt, stood up and looked up at the sky.
Contra!
Contra!
If I had that kind of strength, why would I need to flee from Xingluo like a stray dog and come to this Tiandou Land? Strength! Strength! Everything comes down to strength.
In theory, Zhao Wuji and Flander could indeed escape with their lives from the hands of a Soul Douluo. With no Title Douluo appearing, Soul Douluos were the most revered beings in the world.
The higher the level a Soul Master cultivates, the greater the difference between even one level. Not to mention that Dragon Lord Meng Shu is no ordinary Soul Douluo.
Flander knew that several years ago, Dragon Duke Meng Shu had already reached the terrifying level of level 88. Although he was old, he was only one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, when the Dragon God appears, the Snake Goddess will naturally be nearby as well.
The couple, Gaishi Longshe, were practically inseparable. If two Soul Saints could still be confident in protecting themselves against a Soul Douluo, what if the opponent also had a Soul Emperor who could unleash a Soul Fusion Technique powerful enough to threaten a Title Douluo?
No wonder the two of them adopted a humble attitude.
