Chapter 261 Bibi Dong is numb
A bright smile spread across Lu Ming's face.
He unceremoniously stretched out both hands and reached directly for the tray.
At the very moment the two handed over their keys.
Lu Ming's hands gripped the edge of the tray with remarkable ease.
His fingers inevitably brushed against Bibi Dong's fair hand.
A warm sensation instantly flowed between their skin.
Bibi Dong frowned sharply, preparing to immediately withdraw her hands.
But Lu Ming acted faster than her.
Lu Ming's right index finger suddenly extended forward half an inch.
His fingertips slid precisely into Bibi Dong's palm.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming brazenly beckoned with his finger and gently scratched Bibi Dong's soft palm.
A tingling, electric sensation shot directly from her palm to the top of Bibi Dong's head.
Bibi Dong's eyes widened suddenly.
She pulled her hands back with extreme aggression, as if she had been electrocuted.
Because the movement was too large, the tray instantly lost its balance.
Lu Ming steadily supported the base with one hand, firmly holding the three soul bones in his hand.
Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face flushed red in just half a second.
This was not shyness, but extreme humiliation and anger.
Under the watchful eyes of elite soul masters across the continent.
In the center of the most sacred square of the Spirit Hall.
This arrogant brat actually dared to flirt with the leader of a sect in public!
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Lu Ming, her eyes practically spitting out flames.
She suddenly took half a step forward, closing the distance between them to the extreme.
She lowered her voice and spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"You just wait!"
These words were forced out of Bibi Dong's teeth.
Lu Ming held the tray containing the soul bones in one hand.
He felt exceptionally pleased as he looked at the exasperated pope before him.
He completely ignored Bibi Dong's murderous gaze.
Lu Ming smiled brightly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet, Your Holiness."
Lu Ming chuckled lightly, completely ignoring Bibi Dong's murderous glare.
He carried the tray covered with red velvet with great composure.
Three ancient soul bones, radiating an extremely dazzling light, lay quietly in the center of the tray.
The dense fluctuations of soul power continuously washed over the surrounding air.
Lu Ming turned around directly, exposing his back completely to Bibi Dong.
This represents absolute contempt.
Bibi Dong, standing on the high platform, gripped the magnificent scepter tightly in her hand.
Because of the excessive force applied, the surface of the scepter even emitted a slight clicking sound.
The veins on her perfectly maintained hands were now fully bulging.
The awards ceremony had devolved into a complete farce.
Lu Ming completely trampled on the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
The countless audience members below the stage didn't even dare to breathe.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the tray in Lu Ming's hand.
The priceless treasure was right before their eyes, yet not a single person dared to entertain the slightest thought of snatching it.
The terrifying strength that Lu Ming just displayed has completely shattered everyone's greed.
He walked down the granite steps at a leisurely pace.
The hard soles of the shoes struck the stone slabs, producing an extremely crisp sound.
[Little Witch]: Wow! They really are three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones!
[Little Witch]: Emperor Lu, hurry up and bring it over! I've never seen such a top-quality soul bone in my life!
[The cutest bunny]: Rongrong, don't worry, you can't escape this.
[My cat is white and big]: With these three soul bones, the strength of our Blue Tyrant Academy will definitely reach a new level.
[Want a sweet romance]: The way Lu Tiandi walked down the steps just now was just like a king ruling the world!
[Poison Fairy]: You only looked at the soul bone, didn't you see the Pope's face, which was blacker than the bottom of a pot?
[I Have No Mother]: The dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall was actually forced into an embarrassing situation by a mere teenager. It's utterly ridiculous.
[Liu Erlong]: This is what they call "evil people will be punished by other evil people"!
[Liu Erlong]: Ming'er, well done! Your teacher has prepared the most sumptuous welcome banquet for you at Lanba Academy!
[His Holiness the Pope]: You bunch of bastards, shut up!
[Your Holiness]: Since the Spirit Hall has lost, it can naturally accept the defeat and let it go!
[Your Holiness]: But I will settle this score with myself sooner or later!
[Emperor Lu Tian]: I'm always ready to accompany you.
Lu Ming simply replied with four words in his mind, which immediately angered Bibi Dong so much that she cut off the screen view.
He walked all the way to the front of Blue Tyrant Academy's camp.
Ning Rongrong, like a cheerful lark, was the first to hop out from the group.
Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on the soul bones in the tray, and she was practically drooling.
Xiao Wu stepped forward and naturally took Lu Ming's left arm.
Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly to Lu Ming's right, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration as she looked at him.
"Take these spoils; we can distribute them when we get back."
Lu Ming casually tossed the heavy tray to Tailong behind him.
Tyrone hurriedly caught the tray, his whole body trembling with excitement.
These are three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, and Lu Ming just casually tossed them to him.
This unwavering trust ignited the passion of every member of the Blue Tyrant Academy team.
Logically, the awards ceremony should have ended there.
The paladin knights at the edge of the plaza began to line up, preparing to guide the various academies to leave one after another.
The civilians and low-level Soul Masters who had been watching from a distance also began to turn around in twos and threes, preparing to leave this place of trouble.
Bibi Dong, standing on the high platform, could no longer contain her anger.
She abruptly flicked her wide purple sleeves and turned to walk deeper into the Papal Palace.
She didn't want to stay in this square for even a second longer.
To her, Lu Ming's bright smile was the most vicious mockery.
The cardinals breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Pope leave and quickly followed him.
On the Blue Tyrant Academy side, Ning Rongrong excitedly grabbed Lu Ming's arm.
"Let's go, let's go back and celebrate!"
"Teacher Erlong must have already prepared a grand feast!"
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, her two fluffy rabbit ears swaying happily on her head.
But Lu Ming did not move his feet immediately.
He stood still, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowded people.
Finally, his deep gaze locked onto the darkest corner of the preparation area.
That direction was precisely where the Shrek Academy students were hiding.
Lu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a row of extremely white teeth.
He reached out and gently patted Xiao Wu's hand.
"Don't rush off yet."
"We still have some things to take care of."
Lu Ming's voice was very calm, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone around him.
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then followed Lu Ming's gaze.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes instantly sharpened, and she immediately understood Lu Ming's intention.
The onlookers, who were about to disperse, all stopped in their tracks.
Everyone noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Following Lu Ming's gaze, thousands of eyes, as if they were tangible, instantly focused on the location of Shrek Academy.
It was an extremely dilapidated corner.
The group of Shrek Academy students were huddled together like a pack of stray dogs.
Dai Mubai leaned against the cold wall, panting heavily.
He still bears horrific scars from previous matches on his chest.
The excruciating pain in his ribs made each breath feel like swallowing countless razor blades.
Oscar sat on the ground, his eyes vacant, clutching a completely shriveled, regenerated sausage in his hand.
He doesn't even have the strength to eat sausages anymore.
Yu Xiaogang's situation was even more dire.
This master usually keeps his hands behind his back, putting on an air of profound mystery.
He was slumped on the long wooden bench like a lump of mud.
His eyes were terrifyingly empty, his lips were completely bloodless, and he was trembling uncontrollably.
The blow of having his life's work completely overturned had utterly destroyed his mental world.
Tang San gritted his teeth, and several extremely thick veins bulged on his forehead.
His hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms.
Blood dripped slowly from between his fingers, but he felt no pain whatsoever.
The humiliation and resentment in his heart grew wildly in Tang San's mind like weeds.
Just then, a series of steady and powerful footsteps suddenly rang out in the square.
despair.
despair.
despair.
Lu Ming pushed aside the Blue Tyrant Academy team members blocking his way and walked alone toward Shrek Academy.
He did not release any martial spirit.
It did not exhibit any fluctuation of soul power.
But it was that absolute confidence emanating from his very bones that created an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
The other academy soul masters who were blocking Lu Ming's way all involuntarily retreated to the sides.
The crowd parted automatically like a tide, making way for Lu Ming and creating a wide passage.
Everyone was watching the boy who had created a miracle with awe and curiosity.
Lu Ming walked very slowly, each step he took was extremely firm.
The crisp sound of footsteps sounded like a death knell.
One blow after another struck the hearts of the Shrek members.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Dai Mubai's body stiffened abruptly.
An intense look of fear erupted from his sinister eyes.
Dai Mubai gripped the stone bricks behind him with both hands, and desperately kicked the ground with his legs.
He dragged his injured body backward like a frightened bird.
Until his back slammed heavily against the hard corner of the wall, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.
"What...what is he going to do?"
Oscar was so frightened that his voice completely changed, and he screamed in an extremely shrill voice.
Tang San suddenly raised his head.
His bloodshot, demonic purple eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, who was closing in.
Tang San's right hand instantly reached for the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist.
If Lu Ming dares to make a move, he will risk his life to launch all the hidden weapons on his body.
However, when Tang San's gaze met Lu Ming's unwavering eyes...
A chill rising from the depths of his soul instantly froze his movements.
That look in their eyes was terrifying.
It's like watching a group of ants that you could easily crush with a flick of your wrist.
Tang San's fingers froze on his storage belt, and he even lost the courage to pull out his hidden weapon.
Compared to the fear of others, Ma Hongjun's reaction was the most extremely shameful.
The fat man, whose body was covered in fat, kept his head buried in his knees.
When he felt Lu Ming's overwhelming sense of oppression envelop him.
Ma Hongjun's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
His obese body began to tremble violently, like a sieve.
Suddenly, a very faint sound of flowing water rang out in the quiet corner.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
A pale yellow liquid slowly flowed down Ma Hongjun's trouser leg.
The liquid quickly pooled on the bluestone floor, forming a small puddle.
An extremely pungent, foul odor instantly filled the air.
Upon smelling the odor, Dai Mubai and Oscar's faces instantly turned ashen.
They moved aside with extreme disgust and fear, trying to distance themselves from Ma Hongjun.
This is the usually arrogant and domineering evil phoenix.
At this moment, Lu Ming's footsteps alone were enough to scare him so much that he wet his pants!
Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in a deafening roar of laughter.
"Look! That fat Shrek kid has wet his pants!"
"My God, this is so embarrassing!"
"With this kind of pathetic state, how dare they call themselves a monster academy? I think it's more like a waste academy!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! They don't even have the courage to stand in front of the other person."
The surrounding laughter was like a series of loud slaps to the face of every Shrek student.
The chat group was extremely lively at this moment.
[Poison Fairy]: Oh dear, you've really offended my eyes.
[Poison Fairy]: I only knew that Shrek Academy was shameless before, but I didn't expect them to be so cowardly.
[Wanting a sweet romance]: Ugh, that's disgusting.
[Want a sweet romance]: Emperor Lu, stay away from that fatso, don't let his stench bother you.
[A Yin]: Is this the so-called genius that Yu Xiaogang taught?
[A-Yin]: It's truly pathetic that when faced with a truly strong opponent, one doesn't even have the backbone to stand up straight.
[The cutest bunny]: I must have been blind to have been in the same college as these people.
[Little Witch]: Exactly, being with them just lowers our standards.
[My cat is white and big]: They're just a bunch of cowards who are all bark and no bite, and they don't deserve any sympathy.
Lu Ming stopped in his tracks.
He was now less than three meters away from Shrek Academy's camp.
His long, slender legs stood casually.
He looked down at this once arrogant group of so-called protagonists.
His gaze swept very slowly across the faces of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar one by one.
Finally, Lu Ming's gaze settled on Dai Mubai, who was huddled in the corner.
As Dai Mubai was being stared at, every hair on his body stood on end.
He didn't even dare to breathe too hard, for fear of provoking Lu Ming in the slightest dissatisfaction.
