------------------------------
The Shrek Academy motto, "Those who avoid trouble are mediocre," was absurdly wrong from the very beginning.
At this moment, Flender repeatedly addressed Prince Xue Xing as "Your Highness" in an attempt to explain. However, he was met with the prince's unyielding rebuke.
"Silence! Who do you think you are? I'm speaking to Meng Shenji—when did a dog like you get the right to bark?"
Xue Beng, who had been restored to his original appearance by the school doctor, chimed in obnoxiously: "Exactly! So uncouth~"
Flender swallowed his anger again and again, unable to bring himself to fight back, much like how he had once cowered before Tang Hao.
But while Flender, born of commoners, could endure, the "noble-blooded" Dai Mubai beside him couldn't. He angrily shouted:
"Do you want a beating?!"
Without hesitation, Dai Mubai charged toward Xue Xing and Xue Beng, throwing punches without a second thought about his identity as a prince of a rival nation. Such arrogance showed no resemblance to a wise ruler—it was pure impulsiveness.
In this era where power and nobility reigned supreme, Dai Mubai's actions were akin to challenging a Title Douluo to their face—a death wish. Flender, upon noticing this, immediately panicked and shouted:
"Mubai, don't be rash!"
But alas, it was too late.
Moreover, Dai Mubai had overlooked one crucial detail.
While the Tian Dou Imperial Family's martial souls might not match the Star Luo Imperial Family's Evil Eye White Tiger, they were far from weak. Even Xue Qinghe (disguised as Qian Renxue) at this time was already a four-ring Soul Ancestor, let alone Prince Xue Xing, who belonged to the same generation as Emperor Snow Night.
Prince Xue Xing's strength was at least that of a Soul Sage!
Meanwhile, Ye Wen, who had quietly followed behind, observed the scene with a peculiar expression.
"Is this really the cowardly lecherous tiger Dai Mubai that I know?
I humiliated him so thoroughly, yet he didn't dare retaliate. Now, he dares to attack someone with greater power and strength than him? Something seems off."
Ye Wen subtly glanced at the nearby members of Shrek's Seven Monsters and seemed to understand something.
Was Dai Mubai trying to use this incident to forcibly bind these people to his side, helping him navigate the struggle for the throne?
But wasn't that competition based on raw strength?
Outsiders couldn't help much—or perhaps Dai Mubai was planning to use Shrek's Seven Monsters to make the Star Luo Imperial Family hesitate to act against him?
If that was the case, Ye Wen didn't know whether to call Dai Mubai cunning or delusional.
The backgrounds of Shrek's Seven Monsters included the Hao Tian Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Sect, but even these two major sects wouldn't dare intervene in the Star Luo Imperial Family's succession. Doing so would be a direct challenge to the Imperial family's authority.
It was truly a suicidal move. Hmm…
To put it mildly, setting aside the spinelessness of the Hao Tian Sect, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Sect would never involve himself in such a mess. There was no profit to be gained, and offending the Star Luo Imperial Family over a useless person like Dai Mubai would be foolish—even if Ning Fengzhi were an idiot, he wouldn't make such a losing deal.
The only person who might help was Tang San.
But what could one Tang San do? His father, Tang Hao, wouldn't act against the interests of the Hao Tian Sect. Relying on Tang San was even more absurd.
While Ye Wen pondered, Dai Mubai, who had initially charged forward with great momentum, suddenly froze in place.
A thin, green mist-like soul power barrier appeared before Xue Xing.
Xue Xing smirked triumphantly and sneered, "Overestimating yourself!"
The next moment, the green soul power swirled gently, but its force struck like a sledgehammer, sending Dai Mubai flying backward.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply—he had just experienced something similar!
This was the overwhelming pressure of a high-level soul master's mastery over soul power!
At this point, Tang San hadn't yet consumed the divine herb, so his mindset remained grounded. He still had a favorable impression of Dai Mubai, his leader, and quickly rushed forward to catch him as he fell.
As an expert in poisons, Tang San immediately noticed something alarming upon catching Dai Mubai—Dai Mubai had been poisoned!
Fortunately, Tang San possessed a treasure specifically effective against potent toxins: his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances.
Without hesitation, Tang San stabbed Dai Mubai and activated the devouring ability of the Eight Spider Lances.
Dai Mubai's condition visibly improved at a rapid pace, but wisps of thin, green mist began spreading throughout the hall.
The three Elders and the original teachers of Shrek Academy, relying on their relatively strong cultivation, managed to resist the effects. However, weaker individuals like Yu Xiaogang, whose cultivation was below level 30, along with the other members of Shrek's Seven Monsters, began showing symptoms of poisoning.
Tang San quickly realized that this soul power pressure wasn't as pure as what he had just experienced—it was laced with poison!
Though Tang San wanted to help others detoxify, Dai Mubai had fallen unconscious, and the poison hadn't been fully neutralized. He was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
At this critical moment, Meng Shenji, the head Elder, spoke sternly:
"Your Excellency, as a Title Douluo, why bother with children?"
As his words echoed, the Elders began unleashing their own soul power pressures to block the further spread of Dugu Bo's toxic soul power.
Flender felt his scalp tingle—he had thought dealing with Prince Xue Xing alone was bad enough, but now they had brought along a Title Douluo!
Yu Xiaogang, weakened by years of neglecting his training, had the lowest poison resistance among them. Before collapsing, he muttered a single word: "Poison."
Hearing this, Flender, who had been panicking moments ago, formed a terrifying suspicion.
With disbelief, he murmured, "Poison? Could it be… that peerless poison master who could wipe out an entire city with a single move—the Poison Douluo—
Dugu Bo!!"
He didn't dare utter the last name aloud. After all, addressing a Title Douluo by name directly was beyond his status as a mere Soul Sage.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's slightly mocking voice rang out: "Xue Xing, why did you rush off like that? If I'd arrived a moment later, wouldn't you have been beaten up?"
Xue Xing, abandoning his earlier arrogance, smiled flatteringly: "I trusted you, and I was worried these scoundrels might escape."
Dugu Bo chuckled nonchalantly and then turned to the three Elders.
"You—
Are you teaching me how to handle things!?
Hmph!"
A disdainful laugh echoed through the room as an even more terrifying soul power pressure erupted. The three Elders barely managed to withstand it together but were forced back several steps, highlighting the sheer terror of Dugu Bo's soul power.
For a moment, the three Elders were at a loss for words. The pressure Dugu Bo exuded was simply overwhelming.
At this moment, Xue Xing spoke again: "Mr. Dugu, please expel these lawless brutes from the academy."
Beside him, Xue Beng also wanted to add his two cents.
But before he could, Ye Wen's voice rang out first.
