Chapter 180: Shameless Shrek
After thinking for a moment, Shui Bing'er decided to forfeit the match to conserve energy for the upcoming battles.
"We surrender!"
The cold ice surrounding the arena dissipated, leaving behind water stains and uneven patches.
After the host announced the victory of Tiandou Royal Academy's second team, Shui Bing'er stepped down from the arena to check the condition of her teammates. After confirming that they had merely fainted and were not seriously injured, she sighed in relief.
"Hmph, this is so boring! Xiao Wu still hasn't had enough of the fight!"
Xiao Wu retracted her Martial Soul, her face filled with dissatisfaction.
Ye Yin Zhu smiled and comforted her.
"Xiao Wu, it's just the preliminaries. No one will go all out here. When we get to Soul Master City in the next stage, are you afraid we won't have any real matches?"
Xiao Wu nodded, agreeing with Ye Yin Zhu's words, and her mood lifted considerably.
As they were talking, Shui Bing'er and her teammates walked over to them.
"We must thank you for showing mercy. Otherwise, Yue'er and the others wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming battles."
Xiao Wu, feeling a little embarrassed for hurting them but still being thanked, scratched her head. Just moments ago, she had been complaining about them not being able to take a punch!
"No need, no need. There's no deep grudge. As long as we win, that's all that matters."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing behind them, rolled her eyes. Did this little girl have two faces? She wasn't saying this just a moment ago.
After a brief friendly chat, both teams began walking toward the resting area.
As they walked down the corridor toward the resting area, it seemed like a coincidence that the Golden Iron Triangle was also walking toward the arena with Shrek.
After a friendly exchange with the Great Master, Dai Mubai, having learned from his experience, was briefly surprised, then quickly replaced his expression with one of deep affection and sorrow.
Without saying a word, he gazed intently at the little cat from the opposing team, as if they had shared a love story full of longing and unfulfilled desires, nearly making Zhu Zhuqing's fur stand on end.
The little cat shivered with disgust, glancing at the "perverted tiger" as if he were trash before turning her gaze back forward and continuing on.
The younger members of Shrek didn't want to stir up any unnecessary trouble, but others had other ideas.
Relying on the presence of Flanders and Liu Erlong behind him, the Great Master cleared his throat and stopped Ning Rongrong.
"Miss Ning, I must apologize. I misunderstood you and Xiao Wu back in Soto City. I owe you an apology."
Tang San, who was standing behind him, was slightly surprised, then wore a look of admiration. His teacher truly had a broad heart; despite the humiliation, he could still take the initiative to admit his mistakes.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu turned around, giving the Great Master a puzzled look. They didn't understand what game he was playing, but they still understood the principle of not hitting a smiling face.
"It's fine, I'm not concerned anymore. Good luck with your upcoming matches!"
"That's right, Xiao Wu isn't bothered by it either."
Neither of them wanted to argue with a Great Soul Master, so they both waved their hands generously and decided to leave, not wishing to say anything more.
But it wasn't over yet. After a brief pause, the Great Master spoke again.
"Wait a moment. Your team's soul rings all have an unmatched configuration beyond the optimal age. It seems you have some special method, am I right?"
The younger members of Shrek turned back, their expressions dark, clearly annoyed by the Great Master's question. Was this man insane?
Even the long-legged members of Tian Shui Academy, who were walking back with them, gave strange looks to the middle-aged man in front of them. Was this something you could ask openly in front of so many people?
Ning Rongrong seemed to have figured out why he had apologized earlier and gave him an impatient glance.
"I told you before, didn't I? Taking whale glue regularly can greatly enhance physical strength."
Just as the younger members were about to leave again, the Great Master gave an expression as if he had figured everything out and said:
"I've already investigated the effects of whale glue, and as you said, it can enhance physical strength. But a ten-thousand-year soul ring will come with a powerful soul shock. It's not something you can endure just by relying on physical enhancement. So, there must be something you're hiding, right?"
After speaking, the Great Master turned his back with an air of wisdom, as if he were already waiting for Ning Rongrong and the others to admire him.
The younger members of Shrek looked at each other, their faces darkening. After hearing his words, they were now filled with murderous intent. The matter regarding Ning Bei's pills had been sealed with the highest level of confidentiality by Ning Fengzhi, and they would never reveal it no matter what.
Ning Rongrong gave the troublesome man a fierce glare and coldly responded:
"I don't know what you're talking about. If you keep bothering us, don't blame me for not being polite."
Liu Erlong, hearing the harsh words, immediately stepped forward, but before she could say anything, Yu Xiao Gang stopped her.
"I understand that this is a secret matter for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Oh? You know, and you're still asking? Did you lose your mind?"
Before the Great Master could finish speaking, an angry Xiao Wu immediately retorted. Anyone who dared to put her Ning Bei in danger would quickly learn what it meant for even a rabbit to bite when cornered!
"You wild girl, do you even know what respect for elders is? Is this how your family teaches you?"
Liu Erlong could no longer hold herself back, stepping forward as if to teach Xiao Wu a lesson.
However, her advance was blocked again by the Great Master, as the influence of the forces behind him was still too much of a challenge.
After stopping the enraged Liu Erlong, the Great Master revealed an expression he thought was sincere.
"Although this is a secret of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it concerns the overall strength of tens of thousands of soul masters across the continent. It could benefit the entire Soul Master continent. I hope you will share the method with me. After I organize the information, I will make it public, and all soul masters will be grateful to your sect."
His shameless words stunned everyone, including the long-legged members of Tian Shui Academy, who were now speechless. They were thinking to themselves that they had never seen such a shameless person before.
While everyone was in shock, Tang San and the Fatty saw an opportunity and joined in with their comments.
"Teacher is right. You shouldn't be so selfish. The method of improving soul ring limits should belong to the whole continent."
"Yeah, yeah! I'll even help promote your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School when I absorb soul rings beyond their age in the future."
Their greedy faces and shameless words made the younger members of Shrek tremble with anger.
Just as they were about to explode, Ning Rongrong accidentally glanced over at Tang San, who was gently patting his waist. She froze for a moment and quickly stopped her friends, her face expressionless as she looked at the Great Master.
"We really don't know what nonsense you're talking about. Please don't disturb our rest. Goodbye!"
After speaking, she pulled her teammates toward the resting area, while Xiao Wu glanced back at the angry faces of the Shrek members.
"No, I mean, never see you again. What a hassle!"
Seeing that there was no more to gain, the long-legged members of Tian Shui Academy also turned toward the resting area.
Liu Erlong's temper finally snapped, and with her fire dragon flaring up, she stepped forward in rage.
"Stop right there! I'm going to teach you rude little brats a lesson!"
Flanders and the Great Master exchanged a look, realizing things were about to go south. They quickly stepped forward to stop her, but just then, a cold voice came from behind.
"Try moving, and see what happens!"
