Ma Hongjun's expression turned a little ugly when he saw Bu Le's spirit ring.
"A four-ring Spirit Ancestor, seems I might have overestimated myself."
Ma Hongjun thought to himself, but his reaction wasn't slow, and he met Bu Le's attack head-on.
As for running away, he had thought about it, but running directly like that would be too embarrassing.
As soon as the two exchanged blows, Bu Le immediately gained the upper hand with his spirit power advantage.
His sharp attacks continuously struck Ma Hongjun, sending him flying backward and heavily falling to the ground.
"With just this much strength, you still want to play the hero saving the beauty?"
Bu Le glanced at Ma Hongjun on the ground and couldn't help but spit on the ground.
"Hiss..."
Ma Hongjun got up from the ground, taking a sharp breath due to the pain in his body.
"If you're so capable, don't run. Wait for me to come back."
Ma Hongjun glanced at the spirit ring under Bu Le's feet, then turned and headed towards Shrek Academy.
From their brief exchange, he knew he absolutely couldn't beat Bu Le, so he planned to go back to the academy to get help.
"That's it?"
Time's mouth twitched slightly as he watched Ma Hongjun quickly leave.
At first, he and Bu Le thought Ma Hongjun was there to play the hero, but the outcome was somewhat different from what he expected.
This wasn't a hero saving the beauty at all; he just came out to get beaten up.
Bu Le glanced in the direction Ma Hongjun left, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and continued walking towards Ye Xi and the others.
"The show is over."
"Handle it cleanly."
Ye Xi rested her hand on her head, her voice very casual.
Hearing this, Time nodded lightly and immediately agreed.
"Didn't scare you, did I?"
"You probably haven't seen a four-ring Spirit Ancestor level expert, have you?"
Bu Le looked at the constantly flashing spirit rings under his feet, and couldn't help but show a smile.
A four-ring Spirit Ancestor could already be considered a minor expert in Suotuo City.
Listening to Bu Le's words, Time rose from his seat, his Spirit appearing from behind him, and under his feet, two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings, a total of seven, flashed.
Meanwhile, Ling Yuan crossed her arms over her chest, her Spirit, Blazing Spirit Swift, appearing behind her. After Spirit possession, two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings, a total of nine, flashed under her feet.
"Have you seen a seven-ring Spirit Saint?"
"Have you seen a nine-ring Titled Douluo?"
Time's and Ling Yuan's voices came out of their mouths almost simultaneously.
Watching the spirit rings displayed by the two, Bu Le's steps involuntarily stopped, and great confusion appeared in his small eyes.
"Spirit Saint..."
"Ti... Titled Douluo..."
Bu Le stammered a bit as he spoke.
But Time didn't give him much time. With a few flashes, he appeared in front of Bu Le, picked him up, and headed in one direction.
Ye Xi had just said to handle it cleanly.
So Time planned to deal with Bu Le in another place, so as not to disturb Ye Xi's dining mood.
Before long, the restaurant's waiter brought out the dishes Ye Xi and the others had ordered.
Ye Xi and Ling Yuan picked up their chopsticks and leisurely savored their food, completely unconcerned about the small interlude that had just occurred.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Shrek Academy.
As soon as Ma Hongjun entered Shrek Academy, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Fatty, where have you been?"
"How did you get beaten up like this, all bruised and swollen?"
A voice with a hint of a smile sounded behind Ma Hongjun.
"Boss Dai, this matter is a bit embarrassing to talk about."
Ma Hongjun turned to look behind him, his expression somewhat dejected.
"What happened? Tell me."
"If someone bullied you, I'll take you to get revenge."
Dai Mubai casually found a seat and sat down, a smile he couldn't suppress on his lips.
"Sigh..."
After a long sigh, Ma Hongjun began to recount what had happened.
After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, Dai Mubai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, Fatty."
"Next time you plan to play the hero saving the beauty, remember to check the strength of both sides first."
Dai Mubai's voice was full of laughter.
"Boss Dai..."
There was no mistake, no omission, everything was present!
Ma Hongjun called out to Dai Mubai, a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Alright, alright."
"No more jokes. Is that girl you mentioned really beautiful?"
Dai Mubai reached out and patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, asking with interest.
"Yes, very beautiful."
"Silver hair, and those sapphire eyes are like gems, much prettier than Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing."
Listening to Dai Mubai's question, Ma Hongjun nodded seriously.
"Really?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to get revenge."
"And by the way, I'll teach you how to properly pursue girls."
Dai Mubai stood up, his expression very serious.
"Boss Dai, are you really capable?"
As Ma Hongjun asked, he looked at Dai Mubai with a suspicious gaze.
"Fatty, what are you saying?"
"Those twin sisters from two days ago, do you need to know about them?"
As Dai Mubai was speaking, he noticed that Ma Hongjun's expression seemed a bit off.
"What twin sisters?"
A somewhat cold voice slowly sounded from behind.
Hearing the voice, Dai Mubai slowly turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had appeared behind him at some point.
"Uh..."
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing behind him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort, then turned and left without looking back.
"Tsk, twin sisters, huh~"
Ning Rongrong glanced at Dai Mubai and the bruised and swollen Ma Hongjun, then turned and followed Zhu Zhuqing.
"Boss Dai, weren't you going to help me get revenge?"
"When are we leaving?"
Ma Hongjun coughed lightly, then involuntarily looked at the departing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai didn't speak for a moment, but quietly watched the departing Zhu Zhuqing.
It wasn't until Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappeared that Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun.
"Call Little Ao and Little San."
"After all, that Bu Le is a Spirit Ancestor. If it's just the two of us, our chances aren't very high."
Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, speaking softly.
"Okay, then let's go now."
After thinking for a moment, Ma Hongjun walked towards the room where Tang San and Oscar were.
Dai Mubai, on the other hand, looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing had left, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
But soon, Dai Mubai regained his composure and quickly followed Ma Hongjun's footsteps, heading towards the room where Tang San and Oscar were.
