Capítulo 51: Chapter 51: Tavern Turmoil
In a dense forest, towering trees that three people could barely wrap their arms around were commonplace. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled beams on the ground. Eight young boys and girls swiftly navigated through the forest.
"I've got a big sausage!"
A boy dressed in simple gray clothing with neatly cropped hair and large peach blossom eyes waved his hand, and his yellow soul rings glowed brightly.
*Whoosh!*
With a flick of his wrist, he threw the sausage he had conjured towards the other seven.
Despite the playful antics and the allure of the sausage, none of the seven, even the girls, resisted. They eagerly caught and devoured the thrown sausages.
Oscar's big sausages could restore soul power and stamina, alleviate fatigue and pain, and greatly increase satiety, significantly speeding up the group's journey.
With the Continental Elite Spirit Master Tournament fast approaching, Mu Chen needed to enter the City of Slaughter, making every moment count. To save time and increase the group's endurance, Zhao Wujin had proposed this training while also enhancing the teamwork of the Shrek Eight.
"Everyone, give it your all! In one more hour, we'll reach a town. We can rest there for the night before entering the Star Dou Forest tomorrow," Mu Chen said.
As the sun set and darkness began to envelop the earth, the Shrek Eight finally arrived at a small town close to the Star Dou Forest.
The town was bustling with people, its proximity to the Star Dou Forest ensuring a steady flow of business, and the hotels were quite sizable.
"Xiao Wu, are you tired?" Mu Chen asked.
"I'm not tired! Is this your training for me?" Xiao Wu replied.
"Sort of," Mu Chen said lightly.
As a transformation of a 100,000-year soul beast, Xiao Wu had only one soul skill for charm, and the rest required close proximity to be effective. Mu Chen had yet to determine how to effectively train Xiao Wu to make her stronger.
*Ding Dong!*
"Congratulations! You have triggered an E-level hidden task: Stand up for ordinary people and teach a lesson to the teachers of Canghui Academy."
"Canghui Academy?"
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat as he glanced towards the entrance of the hotel.
Indeed, several figures dressed in red uniforms had just entered the hotel. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Move aside!"
"Don't block the way!"
"Come on, let's sit over there."
As the group from Canghui Academy entered the hotel, they shoved anyone who got in their way aside, regardless of age or gender. Their brazen attitude was as if they had "arrogant" written all over their faces.
Recognizing their status as spirit masters, the townsfolk merely brushed themselves off and avoided confrontation, knowing they couldn't provoke spirit masters.
"Those guys must be from Canghui Academy," Ma Hongjun remarked.
"A small academy like that has no right to act so high and mighty! They strut around like they're invincible!" Dai Mubai scoffed.
After being provoked, the team leader from Canghui Academy whispered to one of his students. The student nodded and stood up, walking towards the Shrek Eight.
At that moment, a waiter carrying a tray approached the Shrek Eight's table. As he turned, the Canghui Academy student made his move—no, he made his kick.
The Canghui Academy student extended his leg, tripping the waiter, sending the tray flying in a parabolic arc that landed directly above Dai Mubai's head.
*Whoosh!*
Tang San swiftly grabbed the waiter's hand to prevent him from falling while also deftly catching everything that had fallen from the tray.
"Hmm?"
The Canghui Academy student was taken aback, realizing his target was also a spirit master with impressive reflexes.
*Whoosh!*
Frustrated by the failure, the Canghui Academy student kicked Dai Mubai's chair with confidence, believing his spirit master strength would easily break the chair and send Dai Mubai crashing to the floor.
Dai Mubai, however, was quicker. He retaliated, tripping the Canghui Academy student and sending him crashing into the table of the academy's team leader.
"Hmm?"
The team leader of Canghui Academy was initially stunned, but his anger quickly flared.
"Apologies, that was a misstep," Dai Mubai grinned smugly.
As tensions escalated, the patrons in the hotel quickly retreated to safety.
Addressing the provocation, the team leader of Canghui Academy coldly asked, "You kids, which academy are you from?"
"Shrek Academy!" Xiao Wu replied boldly.
"Shrek Academy? Never heard of it." The team leader of Canghui Academy smirked. "You dare to lay hands on my students? Attack!"
"I love a good fight," Xiao Wu said with a smile, rising to her feet.
"Xiao Wu!" Mu Chen called out.
"Brother? They're bullying us!" Xiao Wu pouted.
"You misunderstand. Break their bones and don't hold back. Show them the consequences of their actions," Mu Chen instructed.
"Okay, brother!"
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Moments later, pained cries filled the air as the seven students from Canghui Academy were left sprawled on the ground, lamenting their defeat.
"You!"
The team leader from Canghui Academy's face darkened, fists clenched in anger.
"Xiao Wu, come back," Mu Chen called.
*Whoosh!*
Xiao Wu flipped back effortlessly to stand beside Mu Chen. He smiled slightly and reached out, gently patting her rabbit ears.
*Whoosh!*
The team leader of Canghui Academy, feeling the tension, summoned five soul rings beneath his feet—white, yellow, yellow, purple, purple. A green aura encased him, forming a shell-like armor.
"Soul King?"
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others frowned.
"What's going on here?"
At that moment, Zhao Wujin and Yu Xiaogang descended the stairs.
"Teacher Zhao," Ma Hongjun called out.
"You're their teacher?" the team leader of Canghui Academy asked.
"Yes," Zhao Wujin confirmed with a nod.
"Then I'll give you a chance. Have one of you break your own limbs, and we'll let this matter go. If I have to intervene, I won't hold back," the Canghui Academy team leader, Ye Zhiqiu, said calmly.
"What if I refuse?" Zhao Wujin replied nonchalantly.
"In that case, we'll fight. If I win, I'll break their limbs regardless," Ye Zhiqiu declared confidently. He had never heard of Shrek Academy and doubted Zhao Wujin's capabilities, thinking he was merely a great soul master.
"Just because you're an old tortoise doesn't mean you can face me. You should defeat him first," Zhao Wujin said, glancing at Mu Chen.
"Him?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Mu Chen in disbelief.
