...
After Xuan Hao rushed back to Tian Dou City, he pushed open the door of his hotel suite, only to find it empty.
Without much thought, he closed his eyes and amplified his newly enhanced elemental perception to its maximum.
Relying on the special mental connection he shared with Na'er, he quickly located their position within the vast Heavenly Dou City.
"Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Xuan Hao stood in mid-air, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Why are all these girls out here so early in the morning, instead of sleeping?"
But then I thought, perfect timing. Liu Erlong had sent word a while ago that she wanted to talk to him privately if there was a chance.
There's no time like the present, so I might as well go now and resolve everything at once.
Immediately, Xuan Hao changed direction in mid-air, transformed into a golden light, and flew towards Blue Tyrant Academy.
When they were still more than a thousand meters above the academy, Xuan Hao discreetly retracted the dragon wings on his back. He didn't want to make a big fuss.
If he were to crash into the Blue Tyrant Academy's playground like a meteorite, it would be too obvious that he was trying to cause trouble, and Liu Erlong's hot temper would definitely cause her to lose her temper on the spot.
Moreover, he also wanted to secretly observe what Na'er and the others were up to by coming here so early in the morning.
Surely they couldn't have come all this way just to catch up with those remnants of Shrek Academy, could they?
Xuan Hao concealed his presence and, using several spatial teleportations, silently passed through the Blue Tyrant Academy's defenses.
With his powerful senses, he quickly located Na'er and her group in front of a small grove of trees behind the academy.
However, when he took a clear look at the situation on the field, he couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the clearing in front of the grove was tense.
Na'er and her friends were fiercely confronting Dai Mubai and Tang San's group from Shrek Academy.
On Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai stood at the forefront with a livid face, Tang San trailing behind him half a step with a solemn expression, followed closely by Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
However, to Xuan Hao's surprise, there was another person in the group—Talon?
What was this simpleton from the Power Clan doing here?
Let's look at the other side.
Ning Rongrong arrogantly stood at the very front of the group, hands on her hips, displaying the air of an invincible young lady.
Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu flanked her on either side, with Zhu Zhuqing following closely behind, while Na'er dutifully protected Ye Lingling, a support-type character, at the very back.
"What's going on?" Xuan Hao, hiding in the dense canopy of a large tree, looked completely bewildered.
"Looks like they're going to have a group fight? What's Ning Rongrong, a support character, doing at the very front?
Is she just feeding them kills?"
On the field, Ning Rongrong clearly had no awareness of her own weakness and was pointing her finger at Dai Mubai, launching a barrage of verbal attacks.
"Oh, isn't this Young Master Dai?"
Ning Rongrong sneered, her gaze sweeping over Dai Mubai's lower body with a sharp edge.
"You've become like this, you don't even have that thing anymore, and you still have the nerve to think about our Zhuqing?
What are you thinking?
Do you want her to spend the rest of her life as a pair of eunuch sisters with you?"
Dai Mubai's face, which had already become somewhat effeminate due to the loss of his symbolism, instantly turned green to black, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Even though he had a million thoughts in his mind at this moment, wishing he could tear the sharp-tongued young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to pieces, he clenched his fists tightly and dared not make any real move.
He knew his own limitations perfectly well.
He was no match for Dugu Yan, let alone with Xiao Wu, whose fighting prowess was equally explosive, by his side.
If he dared to make a move, Dugu Yan could definitely render him incapable of resistance within three moves with her Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, leaving him in a state worse than death.
He had already learned this lesson firsthand back in Soto City.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, suppressing the surging killing intent in his chest, and gritted his teeth as he retorted, "Ning Rongrong, don't push your luck!
This is Blue Tyrant Academy, not your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's backyard!
What are you doing here?
You're not welcome here, get out of here!"
"Not welcome?"
Ning Rongrong laughed out loud, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world
: "Who do you think you are, daring to represent Blue Tyrant Academy to say that I am not welcome?
Believe me, with just one word from me, you spineless eunuch prince will have to pack your bags and get out of here today!"
"You dare to act tough with me when you're living under someone else's roof?
You should take a good look at yourself and see how much you really are!"
"You're courting death!"
Dai Mubai's most vulnerable spot was hit, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
But he still retained a sliver of reason and didn't rush forward to his death.
He suddenly turned around, looked at Tang San behind him, and growled in a hoarse voice, "Little San, lend me your 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow' for a moment!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression changed slightly, and he refused without hesitation:
"No way! Boss Dai, the Zhuge Crossbow is too lethal, and it's also coated with poison.
Even a Soul Master-level expert would be instantly killed if hit without warning.
Xiao Wu is still on the other side, I can't take out such a dangerous hidden weapon."
"Xiao Wu is over there, why don't you call her away first?!"
Dai Mubai said coldly, his tone revealing a kind of obsessive madness. "Give me the thing!"
Tang San frowned, his eyes filled with deep doubt: "Boss Dai, what are you trying to do?
Could it be... you're going to fight them to the death here?!"
"I just wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
Dai Mubai sneered.
"Besides, isn't there a healing-type Soul Master with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul on the other side?
As long as it's not a one-hit kill, she won't die!"
"But…" Tang San hesitated and tried to dissuade her, "If you really use a hidden weapon to injure Ning Rongrong, then we will have a blood feud with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Have you really thought about the consequences?"
"Consequences? I've lost all my dignity as a man, what the hell do I care about consequences?!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were practically overflowing with killing intent as he stared intently at Tang San:
"Little San, if you're afraid of being implicated, just consider these things as things I bought from you at a high price!
You're just a blacksmith who sells weapons, so even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School retaliates, they won't be able to cause you any trouble!"
"Little San, if... if you still consider me a brother from Shrek Academy, please help me this time!"
Upon hearing this request, which bordered on moral blackmail, Tang San's eyes flashed intensely as he once again fell into deep hesitation and weighing of options.
He naturally understood how devastating the loss of a man's dignity would be for someone as extremely arrogant as Dai Mubai.
It was normal for him to be filled with resentment and madness.
But... if he were to kill the sole heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in broad daylight at Blue Tyrant Academy, would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wrath really be as simple as Dai Mubai imagines, directed solely at him?
If those two titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, were to go berserk, the entire Shrek Academy would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant!
Moreover, Tang San had rationally calculated the costs in his mind.
In truth, there wasn't much of a deep brotherhood between him and Dai Mubai.
They had only been training in the same academy for a few months at most. Moreover, during those months, Dai Mubai had missed almost all of his training due to his physical disability and psychological trauma, becoming quite and gloomy.
Everyone is making progress, and they have all increased their soul power by two or three levels, but Dai Mubai is still stuck in the same place as when they first met, and his combat power has even slightly declined.
To completely offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three major sects, for a classmate with whom you have only a casual relationship and whose potential has been wasted, and who might even anger the unfathomable Xuan Hao...
This deal is a terrible one no matter how you look at it.
There's really no need to get involved here.
