All of this happened in a flash. The surrounding diners watched as five people from Canghui Academy rushed forward, only to be cleanly and swiftly thrown out by a beautiful young girl in an instant.
The teacher from Canghui Academy was also startled by Xiao Wu's attack method. Filled with shock and anger, he roared, "Idiots, use your Spirit."
On the other side, Oscar rubbed his eyes vigorously and couldn't help but say, "Damn, that's fierce. Good thing I never offended your Xiao Wu."
Tang San smiled without speaking. At this moment, Dai Mubai stood up again and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu, come back. With us boys here, there's no need for you girls to act."
His figure flickering, Dai Mubai had already arrived beside Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu turned to look at Tang San, who nodded to her, and only then did she not attack again, calmly walking back. Fatty Ma Hongjun took two big bites, chewing the food in his mouth, and walked out reluctantly, standing beside Dai Mubai. His fat hands clasped together, making crackling sounds.
Tang San walked up to Xiao Wu, exchanged places with her, and stood on Dai Mubai's other side.
Three youths against five young adults—it seemed Tang San's side was much weaker. But was the comparison of strength the same? Because Xiao Wu hadn't used her Spirit earlier, the two guys who were thrown out, although disoriented, were not truly injured. When the five Canghui Academy students regrouped, their anger had reached its peak, and they almost immediately unleashed their Spirits.
They simply couldn't believe that as students of a high-level Spirit Master Academy, they would lose to these youths.
In an instant, various lights shone brightly. The spirit rings of the five youths were the same color: one white and one yellow, representing a ten-year spirit ring and a hundred-year spirit ring. All five were naturally War Spirit Masters, including two Tool Spirit War Spirit Masters and three Beast Spirit War Spirit Masters. The two Tool Spirits were a long spear and a trident, while the three Beast Spirits were a deer, a sheep, and a horse. From the Spirits themselves, none could be considered powerful.
Looking at the opponent releasing their Spirits, the disdainful light in Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes grew stronger. "Is this what disciples of so-called high-level Spirit Master Academies are like? Still with ten-year spirit rings? Brothers, unleash your spirit rings and show them."
This Evil Eyes White Tiger, the oldest among the Shrek Academy students, was never a reasonable person. Tang San had already discovered this the first time he met him. Unless you earned his recognition through strength, Dai Mubai's arrogant demeanor would not change.
"White Tiger, possess." A strong pale white light suddenly erupted from his body. Dai Mubai stretched both arms out to the sides simultaneously, his chest puffed out, his entire skeleton crackling, and his muscles suddenly swelled, stretching his clothes. Every muscle under his clothes became extremely distinct, and even the air around him seemed to have become turbulent.
His golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white occupying the majority, but a few strands of black hair were particularly noticeable. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the character 'King'.
His hands changed the most, growing twice as large as before. White fur covered his entire palms, and as his ten fingers moved, short dagger-like sharp claws constantly extended and retracted from his palms. Each claw was like a blade, eight inches long, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light.
His upper body slowly leaned forward, his four-pupil eyes turning a deep, profound azure. A cold killing intent emanated invisibly, filled with powerful deterrence. At his feet, three shining light rings rose consecutively, silently ascending, two yellow and one purple. As the spirit rings rotated, surging spirit power formed a wave-like pressure that rushed forward. Perhaps due to the Spirit's counter-effect, the three opposing Beast Spirit War Spirit Masters couldn't help but tremble and retreat a few steps as Dai Mubai completed his Spirit possession.
Before a tiger, how could deer, sheep, and horses not be afraid?
Especially the purple spirit ring on Dai Mubai's body, representing a thousand years, caused a huge shock in the hearts of the five Canghui Academy students.
As Dai Mubai released his Spirit, Tang San and Ma Hongjun also unleashed their strength.
"Phoenix, possess."
Purple-red light surged from Fatty's body. His short hair suddenly grew longer and gathered towards the center, forming a mohawk-style haircut. Two yellow spirit rings simultaneously rose from his feet, and long feathers extended from his exposed, thick arms. His hands also turned into claws.
Hot air swirled around Fatty's body. Although he was much shorter than the Canghui Academy students opposite him, once the purple flames were released from his body, his entire aura completely changed. Coupled with Dai Mubai's White Tiger Spirit, it suppressed the opponents, making them feel breathless.
Only Tang San's Spirit remained relatively calm. Two yellow light rings, similar to Ma Hongjun's, rose from his feet. Dense Blue Silver Grass quietly released, surrounding his body and slowly spreading.
There was no need to even fight. Just Dai Mubai releasing three spirit rings was enough to completely deflate the five Canghui Academy students opposite them. They understood perfectly how huge the difference in strength was with just one spirit ring, let alone when this person's third spirit ring was a thousand-year level. How could they possibly contend with that?
What made these Canghui Academy students extremely unbalanced was that these youths in front of them looked much younger, yet the strength they displayed was already superior to theirs.
"Stop."
The teacher from Canghui Academy finally couldn't help but step forward, waving his hand at his students, "All of you, retreat."
While the students were unbalanced, this teacher's heart was indeed deeply shocked. He clearly realized that the three youths in front of him, whether the slightly older one in the middle or the two on the sides who looked only twelve or thirteen, could all be called geniuses among geniuses.
Especially the one in the center, who looked no more than seventeen, yet already possessed three spirit rings and had reached the Spirit Elder realm. This was something he had never heard of, and that thousand-year spirit ring was particularly dazzling in his eyes.
This teacher was, after all, a middle-aged man. Seeing Dai Mubai unleash his true strength, he had already considered many possibilities in his heart. Not to mention that his students couldn't possibly be their opponents, even if they could win, he wouldn't let them fight anymore. Some troubles simply shouldn't be provoked.
"I am Ye ZhiQiu, Director of Foreign Affairs at Canghui Academy. May I ask, which Sect are you from?" Seeing Ye ZhiQiu walk in front of the three of them, and withstand the pressure of his released spirit power without using his own Spirit, Dai Mubai's heart was also secretly solemn. In this situation, he was certain that this middle-aged man's spirit power was far above his own.
"We are from Shrek Academy," Fatty said proudly before Dai Mubai could speak. As he spoke, his blatant gaze fiercely stared at the only female student from Canghui Academy.
Ye ZhiQiu paused, a thoughtful light appearing in his eyes. Clearly, he was not very familiar with the name Shrek Academy. "Shrek Academy? I don't seem to have heard of it."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, "That's because you're ignorant."
Hearing that the other party was not a disciple of a certain Sect, Ye ZhiQiu felt a sense of relief in his heart, but also a feeling of powerlessness. He had always believed that the students of Canghui Academy were already excellent. This time, they were preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to help a student obtain their third spirit ring for their thirtieth level advancement. This was the female student who hadn't come out earlier, but these youths in front of him greatly stimulated him.
Ye ZhiQiu understood that these three youths indeed had the right to look down on Canghui Academy. However, how did they cultivate such strong spirit power at such a young age? They were simply a few Little freaks.
Of course, although he was shocked by their strength, if he retreated like this, Canghui Academy would completely lose face in front of so many diners. If the students couldn't do it, he at least had to regain some face for Canghui Academy.
Thinking of this, Ye ZhiQiu no longer hesitated. A light flashed in his eyes, and he also released his Spirit, "Mystic Turtle, possess."
Beast Spirit, Mystic Turtle.
A circle of black ripples emanated from Ye ZhiQiu's body, forcefully pushing back the aura of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Fatty. His four limbs simultaneously contracted by a third, but his back bulged, revealing a huge shell. His entire body shimmered with black light, and five spirit rings rose from his feet, circling around his body.
The five spirit rings were one white, two yellow, and two purple. This Director of Foreign Affairs from Canghui Academy was actually a Spirit King level expert above fifty ranks. Although Ye ZhiQiu's spirit rings were not considered very strong among those of the same rank, his fifty-something rank spirit power was there, and it instantly suppressed Shrek Academy's side.
The entire restaurant erupted in exclamations. After all, a Spirit King was already a rare Spirit Master on the continent, with considerable strength. In some small kingdoms, they could already hold titles like Viscount or even Earl.
Dai Mubai's expression changed, and his gaze drifted to Tang San beside him. Tang San met his gaze, naturally understanding his meaning. He slowly nodded to him, raising his hands slowly to touch the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. To deal with an opponent whose spirit power was clearly higher than his own, he probably could only use Hidden Weapons. He had to ensure a hit with one strike.
The opponent was not Teacher Tang from back then, and might not show mercy.
Ye ZhiQiu's words were very eloquent, "You children are ignorant. Don't speak carelessly in the future. Call out your academy's teacher."
Fatty shrieked, "Just you, old bastard, want to see our teacher? We few are enough to deal with you."
"Everyone, everyone, Spirit Master sirs, please, I beg you, don't fight in my small shop. It's a small business, a small business…" The owner had no choice but to rush out at this point. If he didn't stop them, the entire shop would probably be ravaged by a storm in the next moment.
Ye ZhiQiu, with his Mystic Turtle Spirit, abhorred the word 'bastard' the most in his life. Originally, he just wanted to scare the youths in front of him and be done with it. After all, he didn't want to bear the crime of bullying the young, and he wasn't clear about the strength of the academy behind these children.
But Fatty touched his taboo. Ye ZhiQiu was furious, and in his extreme anger, he laughed instead, "Good, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher. Let's go outside."
At this moment, Yun Chuan, observing from the shadows, whispered, "A good beating might be beneficial. Let these lawless Little freaks experience the harsh realities of society!" Clearly, he didn't intend to intervene like Zhao Wuji did in the original story. He planned to let Tang San and the others get beaten, letting them experience the harsh realities of society!
