"By the way, do you know any Shrek Ghost Stories?"
Feng Jin asked Bai E and the others mysteriously in a low voice.
"Ghost Stories?"
Bai E shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
"Huh? Shrek Academy has any ghost stories? They're not ghosts, are they?"
Xue Qing shrank back slightly. When she was little, her mother liked to scare her with all sorts of ghost stories to make her behave.
This made her extremely afraid of all kinds of ghosts, and these things really do exist in Douluo Continent.
Madmos and Xia Die remained unmoved, while Ti Bao said helplessly,
"Alright, little Feng Jin, stop being so mysterious, just tell us."
Even Mu En was very interested; he hadn't expected his Shrek Academy to have ghost stories, which greatly intrigued the old man.
"Hmph."
"This is a super weird story circulating on the Shrek Academy forum."
"It's a secret rule of Shrek Academy!"
"If you don't follow it properly, it's said that bad things will happen!"
"The first weird story: Never go to Seagod Lake in the evening of the middle of each month! There will be Flame Mouth Demons!"
"A junior once encountered a mysterious Flame Mouth Demon and never heard from him again! Even his roommate was silenced!"
Tibo shrank back slightly after hearing this and said,
"How could this happen?"
"How terrifying!"
Mu En sighed inwardly after hearing this. He knew this wasn't a weird story, but a real event.
As for the child who was burned to ashes, Yan Shaozhe, that good-for-nothing, initially planned to simply silence him and even offer a pitiful amount of compensation.
In the end, he reprimanded Yan Shaozhe, telling him to keep a closer eye on Ma Xiaotao in the future, and personally arranged to compensate his family with a top-grade thousand-year soul bone and five Soul Ascension Pills.
Moreover, the expenses were deducted from the Martial Soul Department's funds as a warning to Yan Shaozhe.
Mu En would not allow a repeat of Ma Xiaotao's loss of control and murder.
If it happened again, Mu En would have to consider restricting Ma Xiaotao's cultivation.
"The second strange tale: At the end of each month, you can faintly hear a woman's screams near the Sea God Lake! At this time, you must run, and don't look back!"
Xia Die asked curiously,
"What will happen if you look back?"
Feng Jin scratched her head, embarrassed, and said,
"Oh dear! Die Bao, why are you asking this question?"
"I don't know either."
Mu En shook his head again. It was related to Ma Xiaotao again. Every month at the end of the month, she would suffer from the erosion of evil fire.
At this time, there would usually be teachers patrolling near the Sea God Lake.
"Ahem!"
"The third strange tale: The mysterious old man in plain clothes!"
"It is rumored that if Shrek Academy organizes a Soul Hunt, but the leader is an old man in plain clothes, you must run!"
Bai E's azure eyes showed doubt as he said,
"Why?"
Feng Jin said nervously,
"You will die."
Bai E leaned back tactically.
"Ah?!"
Feng Jin continued,
"This ghost story has a backstory!"
"There's a post on the Shrek Academy forum with a huge number of views."
"The poster shared a story."
"The poster was a graduate of Shrek Academy."
"His innate soul power was level seven, which would be considered genius outside, but it wasn't quite enough at Shrek Academy."
"However, his roommate was a true super genius, who carried him to victory in various competitions and made him a core disciple."
"In his description, his roommate was an incredibly kind person who would share any good resources with him."
"Thus, the poster successfully graduated from Shrek Academy in sixth grade, while his roommate entered Shrek Inner Academy."
"From then on, the two could only communicate through letters."
"Once, his roommate wrote the poster a letter, which became his last words in the mortal world!"
"He said he was going to hunt souls with other disciples from Shrek Inner Academy, led by an old man in plain clothes."
"The poster didn't take it seriously at first, after all, it was a soul hunt organized by Shrek Academy. Until he contacted his roommate again, he received a strange letter."
"This letter was normal, like everyday conversation, but the tone was very stiff, which made the poster uneasy."
"Time passed slowly, and the poster continued to communicate with him at a normal frequency."
"Until one day, the poster accompanied a soul hunting team to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to search for the Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Spirit Flower."
"Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, he found an item that caused him immense grief."
"It was his roommate's student ID! It was stained with blood, and the poster also found some scattered bones nearby, clearly belonging to a human!"
"At that moment, he realized his good brother was long dead!"
"Upon returning home, he angrily wrote back, asking who the person impersonating his friend was."
"The final reply was: 'This is not something you should know. Consider your own abilities.'"
"It wasn't until the Magic Network appeared that the poster slowly published this story on it."
"And said he wasn't worried about retaliation, he just wanted to know the truth."
Hearing this story, all the girls except Xia Die trembled.
Xia Die's amethyst eyes flickered slightly, as if she had inspiration for a new novel.
It's worth mentioning that the Six-Winged Demon Tiger's beloved "Dragon and Flower" has been abandoned. This
has resulted in Xia Die being wanted on the Magic Network, with the current bounty in Dream Coins reaching 10,000.
Among them, the Beast Kings of the Star Dou Great Forest are the most excited, demanding that the 'Golden Chef' be captured and brought to the Star Dou Great Forest.
They are willing to add a large amount of rare resources to the 10,000 Dream Coins, including some rare herbs that are considered extinct by outsiders.
Di Tian is gradually loosening restrictions on live streaming on the magic network; currently, the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest is allowed to be streamed.
The mixed circle is Di Tian's bottom line; as long as that line isn't crossed, he won't bother with it.
Bai E and Maidemus exchanged glances, while Mu En donned a mask of pain.
This strange tale struck a nerve with Shrek Academy; the tragedy caused by Xuan Zi still hadn't allowed them to recover.
However, a fierce glint quickly appeared in Mu En's eyes, subtly revealing the power of the Dragon God Douluo.
This fierce glint wasn't directed at the poster; Mu En actually wanted to thank him. If he hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that Shrek Academy handled the matter this way!
He clearly remembered ordering that the victims receive ample compensation! All the demands of the family must be met!
He hadn't expected these insects to find a loophole!
"Sigh! If the person hadn't died, would I not have to pay compensation?"
Mu En was now somewhat furious; he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity with Shrek Academy.
"Looks like someone thinks I've been in a wheelchair for so long I can't even lift a sword!"
"They really keep everything from me!"
"Hahaha!"
"My orders from the Sea God Pavilion can't leave Sea God Lake, how amusing!"
"I'm laughing so hard!"
"I, the Dragon God Douluo, am only crippled, not useless!"
"In this world, only my two old friends can defeat me one-on-one!"
"It seems Shrek Academy needs a cleanup!"
"Otherwise, some people have forgotten who's really in charge at Shrek."
"My lifespan is running out, but I absolutely cannot leave the children with such a chaotic Shrek Academy."
Moon's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Perhaps seeing the monsters among the new students like Bai E gave him a renewed sense of hope for Shrek, and his spirits suddenly returned.
He now planned to personally oversee every aspect of Shrek. He wanted to see just how audacious someone was to disregard the Sea God Pavilion's orders!
Even if Yan Shaozhe was petty, he wouldn't take his orders lightly!
In this world, strength ultimately prevails!
"The fourth ghost story is..."
Feng Jin was about to say the fourth ghost story when she was interrupted by a voice.
"You, you, you, and you, stand up!"
A man with long blond hair and heterochromatic eyes in his deep blue eyes stood beside their table, his tone clearly furious.
Mu En was in a bad mood. He coldly looked at the arrogant student in front of him and said,
"Oh?"
"Looking at you like this? Should I stand up too?"
Dai Huabin sized him up, then sensed the old man's aura, and smiled, saying,
"Grandpa, if you can still stand."
Mu En was almost laughing in anger. A dignified Dragon God Douluo was being mocked by a junior and couldn't even stand up. Even
if you gave Yan Shaozhe a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to speak to Mu En like that.
Bai E and Maidemus exchanged a glance and realized that the newcomer was hostile. The two of them stood up together in perfect unison, blocking the way for everyone.
Maidemus's golden eyes seemed to hold the power of a lion as he coldly looked at Dai Huabin and said,
"What's the matter?"
Even the usually good-tempered Bai E was a little angry because the other party was mocking even a disabled old man like Grandpa Mu.
Bai E's gentle, sun-like nature was always reserved for his companions and kind people.
Facing an unfriendly guest, Bai E didn't mind burning them to ashes with the blazing sun of dawn!
Dai Huabin's strange eyes revealed a hint of interest. He hadn't expected these freshmen to be so bold.
"First-year students?"
"Looks like you don't know that getting a seat in the Shrek Academy cafeteria requires some skill."
"Since you've joined Shrek Academy, you should know the Shrek motto: 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.'"
"I reserved your seats long ago, get out of the way!"
The entire cafeteria fell silent. Those sitting nearby were also somewhat indignant.
"Hey, Dai Huabin!"
"I've never heard of a reservation system for cafeteria seats?"
"Isn't it always first come, first served?"
Two black-haired boys stood up from the next table, glaring at Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin, seeing them, said,
"Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan, two defeated opponents are standing up for others."
Cao Jinxuan reached out to stop Zhou Sichen from lashing out.
"Dai Huabin, they're just freshmen and old men. Your aggressive behavior isn't befitting of a core disciple."
Dai Huabin's lips curled into a smile. He was here to cause trouble, wanting to find some punching bags to vent his pent-up anger at Zhou Yi.
Whether these punching bags were freshmen or Cao Jinxuan and his companion didn't matter.
Just as the atmosphere on the field grew increasingly tense, Medmos stepped forward and coldly said to Dai Huabin:
"So much beating around the bush."
"You just want to fight, don't you?"
"Want to find a place to practice?"
"Let me see what kind of strength makes you so arrogant!"
Medmos decided to teach this guy, even worse than Xiao Hongchen, a lesson.
Dai Huabin smiled and said:
"You've got guts!"
"Shrek Academy has a Soul Arena."
"Follow me."
After saying that, Dai Huabin walked directly towards the cafeteria entrance, with Medmos following closely behind.
Bai'e looked apologetically at Feng Jin and the others, saying,
"I was originally planning to go with you to see other places."
"I'll go check it out too,"
Tibao's slightly childish voice came through.
"It's alright, Xiao Bai, Xiao Di is very strong."
"Let's go together, because we're companions."
Bai'e nodded and said,
"I trust Medmos."
"That's beyond doubt!"
Seeing the unity among the group, Mu En's anger at the troublesome people subsided slightly.
"Take me with you, I know where the Soul Arena is."
Bai E smiled at Mu En and said,
"Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Mu."
After saying that, Bai E pushed Mu En and prepared to head to the Soul Arena under his guidance. Before leaving, Bai E smiled at Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan and said,
"Thank you both for your help earlier."
"My name is Bai E."
"It's nice to meet you."
Cao Jinxuan waved his hand and said,
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
"But it's a pity I couldn't help you."
"My name is Cao Jinxuan, and this guy next to me is Zhou Sichen."
"That bastard just now is Dai Huabin, a Soul Master, and he was second in our freshman assessment."
"He was defeated by Sister Huo Suier in the finals, and he was beaten badly!"
Cao Jinxuan's face showed a bit of schadenfreude. He didn't have any good feelings towards Dai Huabin either.
Bai E smiled and said,
"As expected of Sister Sui."
"So he's a Soul Master! Then Medmus should be fine."
"Thanks, senior, I'll treat you two to dinner later!"
Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen exchanged glances, and Zhou Sichen couldn't help but say:
"Dai Huabin is very strong, with a top-tier Martial Soul, the White Tiger. If he can't handle it, you should send your companions back. Don't be reckless."
Bai E and Feng Jin smiled.
Ti Bao shook her head, revealing a small tuft of red hair on her head, and said,
"It's alright."
"As long as it's not a Soul King, even a minor enemy won't be a problem."
The group had all witnessed Xiao Hongchen being repeatedly beaten dozens of times by Medmos.
Xiao Hongchen was a genuine high-level Soul Master, only one step away from becoming a Soul King. His Martial Soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, was a true divine beast bloodline Martial Soul, even stronger than the White Tiger in quality.
Medmos's Golden Lion King was a super Martial Soul personally designed by Huo Yuhao!
It was a Martial Soul that could not possibly be born naturally.
Hearing Ti Bao's words, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen were a little incredulous, secretly thinking:
"Are this year's freshmen so outrageous? They can even beat a Soul King?"
After Bai E and the others left, Cao Jinxuan pulled Zhou Sichen and said,
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
