Da Ming and Er Ming stood side by side at the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, their gazes following that pinkish-blue figure, their eyes filled with novelty and emotion.
This was the first time they had seen Wang Dong'er's life at the academy from such a close distance. A smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of Da Ming's lips. This girl has grown up.
Of course, the two of them also knew that being able to stand here today was entirely thanks to that Er Ming (Dragon King version).
Under normal circumstances, in Cai Yue'er's eyes, the two of them would be on the "no entry" blacklist; forget about strolling through the academy, just approaching the Martial Arts Arena would get them cursed out by that crazy woman.
"Big Dad! Second Dad!" Wang Dong'er walked over quickly, her small face full of pleasant surprise. "Why are you guys here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before she could hear Da Ming's explanation, the man nearby who looked exactly like Er Ming spoke up.
"He's here to fight me."
Wang Dong'er was stunned. Before Wang Dong'er could react, Er Ming (Dragon King version) spoke to Teacher Shen Yi again. "Teacher Shen, let us use the Martial Arts Arena for a bit."
Teacher Shen Yi heard this and nodded with a smile. "Of course, Teacher Er Ming."
Teacher Er Ming? This man before her not only looked similar to Er Ming but even had the same name? And... he was a teacher?
Why was her Second Dad getting into a fight with an academy teacher?
Wang Dong'er immediately panicked.
Last time, because Da Ming and Er Ming wanted her to enroll disguised as a boy and enter the boys' dormitory, she ended up being stripped of her housing privileges and could only be a day student.
She was still upset about that even now!
If Second Dad got into another fight with a teacher this time, would she even be able to continue her studies?
Before enrolling, whether she went to school or not didn't matter at all to her; after all, she had the Clear Sky Sect to stay at, and in the Clear Sky Sect, she was the most important person.
But things were different now.
She was already a member of Shrek Academy; she had her partners here, her friends, and people she wanted to fight alongside. Moreover, the benefits were good, the classmates were good, and the teachers were good. She had completely integrated into this place; she was a member of Shrek Academy!
Once a person of Shrek Academy, always a person of Shrek Academy!
She didn't want to be expelled!
Wang Dong'er's small face was written with worry, but when Er Ming saw that gaze, he interpreted it as something else.
Looking at Wang Dong'er's worried gaze, Er Ming felt a wave of emotion in his heart. This girl was actually worrying about him? Worried that he would lose to this fake in front of them?
He gave Wang Dong'er a thumbs-up and showed a confident smile. "Xiao Qi, don't worry! Trust Second Dad!"
Then he added in his heart, a bootleg version could never defeat the original!
Looking at his confident appearance, the corners of Wang Dong'er's mouth twitched. That's not what she was worried about at all, okay!
Besides...
Wang Dong'er stole a glance at Er Ming (Dragon King version).
Although she hadn't been at this academy for long, she had already seen enough. The Spirit Ring configurations of these teachers were basically three purple, three black, and three red—nine Spirit Rings, starting with three ten-thousand-year ones and anchored by three hundred-thousand-year ones!
And what about her Second Dad?
Nine black Spirit Rings and no Battle Armor.
How could he fight?
Before coming to this academy, Wang Dong'er would have dared to beat her chest and shout, "My Big Dad and Second Dad are invincible under heaven."
But after coming here, her arrogance had been worn down quite a bit.
Challenging Tang Wulin twice and being defeated in a single move both times, and... although she had only been in this academy for over a month, Wang Dong'er had personally seen the growth of some students with very weak foundations, like Huo Yuhao. It was terrifying; he had actually broken through to level thirty directly. She heard it was because of the Thunder Pool's effect. Thinking of this, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel envious. If only she also had a teacher to take her along for free; her Contribution Points weren't many...
Soon, Wang Dong'er's thoughts returned. She was quite aware of how deep the waters of this academy were; although her Second Dad was strong, it would be very difficult to defeat a teacher here.
When Da Ming's gaze fell on Wang Dong'er, he seemed to think of something. If they accidentally provoked a teacher of this academy and caused Wang Dong'er to be expelled, that would be disastrous. Who knew if this Er Ming (Dragon King version)'s temper was better or worse than that Cai Yue'er's?
"I want to ask one thing—" He paused and looked at Er Ming (Dragon King version). "Will this match affect the academy's attitude toward Xiao Qi?"
Hearing this, Er Ming (Dragon King version) was slightly stunned, then waved his hand. "Don't worry, this is a personal grudge between him and me—just a dispute over a name. It has nothing to do with the student."
'A dispute over a name?' Da Ming nodded thoughtfully.
"However... the one who loses has to change their name."
"Of course—"
"If you can last ten minutes against me, I can also grant you one extra condition that isn't excessive."
After hearing these words, Er Ming felt it was a huge gain. This match was originally meant to settle the name dispute, and now a free condition was added; it was simply like someone rushing to give him a gift!
Lasting ten minutes?
He was a level ninety-eight Super Douluo! With the Titan Giant Ape Spirit! Pure bloodline!
Forget about lasting ten minutes; winning against the opponent would be more than enough!
"Fine!" He slapped his thigh and agreed decisively.
Just then, his gaze inadvertently swept past the edge of the Martial Arts Arena—
A thin and small figure was standing there, quietly watching this side. Yuan En Yehui. That little girl who possessed the Titan Giant Ape bloodline.
Er Ming's eyes brightened even more. Wasn't this a godsend opportunity? It was the perfect time to let this little girl see what a true Titan Giant Ape powerhouse was!
Once he defeated this fake and displayed his true strength, wouldn't that little girl come crying and begging to take him as her master?
The more Er Ming thought about it, the better it seemed, and a hint of smugness couldn't help but appear on his face.
During this period, because Wang Dong'er was in this academy, in order to prevent her from being expelled, he had been constantly suppressed by that crazy woman Cai Yue'er, feeling incredibly stifled.
Now, it was finally time to let loose!
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, he strode toward the Martial Arts Stage.
Er Ming (Dragon King version) smiled and followed slowly.
One after the other, the two of them stepped onto the Martial Arts Stage.
The Martial Arts Stage was wide and flat, its metal floor gleaming with a cold luster.
Below the stage, everyone looked up, their gazes falling on those two burly figures. Wang Dong'er nervously clenched her fists.
On the Martial Arts Stage, Er Ming took a deep breath and suddenly released his Spirit. In an instant, a violent aura erupted from within his body! His entire body suddenly grew massive, his muscles bulging, emitting an incredibly terrifying pressure. The aura belonging to a level ninety-eight Super Douluo was completely released without reservation!
Nine Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet. All nine Spirit Rings were as black as ink, all of them being ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings! (Original work 119, original work 494 says eight black and one red, taking the earliest appearance)
"Come and fight!"
