Oscar and Ma Hongjun thought they were seeing things when they saw Flander acting so respectfully.
Their usually proud and unbending Flander, how did he become like this?
And with a man who appeared to be about the same age as them no less.
Oscar whispered to Dai Mubai beside him, "Your Highness? Boss Dai, who is this kid? How come even the dean calls him Your Highness?"
Dai Mubai spread his hands, speaking profoundly, "This kid? You really aren't afraid of being overheard, huh? The dean called both of you here, aside from the newly joined members, it's because of him."
Oscar moved closer behind Dai Mubai and gently massaged his shoulders, ingratiatingly saying, "Boss Dai, stop beating around the bush and tell me quick."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Dai Mubai's face—the feeling of being waited on sure is wonderful, "If it were Zhu Qing, that'd be even more wonderful."
But that was just wishful thinking; Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even shown him a nice face up till now, dreaming about it was completely delusional!
Seeing Oscar trying so hard, Dai Mubai slowly explained, "His name is Xu Sheng..."
As the two whispered among themselves, Ma Hongjun looked at Xu Sheng with disdain and complained, "Tsk, I don't get what the dean is thinking. Isn't he just some good-looking guy? I bet his Soul Power isn't even higher than mine!"
However, it seemed he didn't bother to lower his voice deliberately, and the surrounding Shrek instructors and others turned their gazes towards him...
Ning Rongrong and Tang San felt a flicker of displeasure in their eyes as they looked at Ma Hongjun. Although this person might be their teammate in the future...
But at this moment, insulting Xu Sheng to his face was like a slap to their own!
Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew a few shades colder—she loathed such sneaky people from the bottom of her heart!
Dai Mubai quickly pulled Oscar away and gave Ma Hongjun a look, using lip language to remind him, "Ma Hongjun, hurry up and apologize to this guy! Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"
However, Ma Hongjun clearly didn't catch Dai Mubai's little gesture; feeling the attention of everyone on him, he faltered for a moment but still mustered the courage to say, "What's wrong? Esteemed teachers, I didn't say anything wrong, right? I really don't understand why you're all so reverent towards this guy!"
Flander turned around and barked angrily, "Hongjun, do not be impudent, quickly apologize to Xu Sheng His Highness!"
This guy's temper was as explosive as Liu Erlong's from their Golden Iron Triangle back in the days. Just when he had calmed Xu Sheng's rage, his own good disciple was stirring up trouble again.
Xu Sheng had heard the earlier remarks very clearly despite the distance, his icy pupils gazed at Ma Hongjun, "Are you seeking death, you Wicked Fire Grass Chicken?"
Are all Shrek's people so arrogant? He had planned not to get physical today, but it seemed there was always some trash itching for death!
He wouldn't mind adding another soul to his hands...
Hearing Xu Sheng insult him like that, Ma Hongjun roared with anger, "Screw you, I am the Evil Fire Phoenix!"
After speaking, Ma Hongjun roared, and a yellow Soul Ring emerged beneath his feet...
Flander commanded in a cold voice, "Hongjun, stop it right now!"
This Ma Hongjun was his direct disciple; if anything happened to him for offending Xu Sheng...
In that instant, the teachers of Shrek Academy realized the situation was getting out of hand...
If Ma Hongjun wanted to curse, he should've waited until Xu Sheng had left; cursing a Titled Douluo to his face, wasn't he asking for trouble?
Zhao Wuji and the other Shrek Academy teachers also hurriedly stood up, the former reprimanding, "Ma Hongjun, stop right now!"
Ma Hongjun wiped his nose and with a cold "Hmpf," yelled, "First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire..."
But before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, a phantom-like figure suddenly appeared before him, the man in front reaching out his hand and effortlessly seizing his throat, hoisting him up in the air...
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in horror at the terrifying figure that materialized; the next second, he felt his throat tightly constricted, and a wave of suffocation engulfed him, his face beginning to turn pale...
The anguished Ma Hongjun, suspended mid-air, struggled desperately, clutching at Xu Sheng's hand, trying to pry it open...
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it an inch...
Flander, seeing his beloved disciple in pain, felt anxious and urgently said to Xu Sheng, "Hongjun! Lord Xu Sheng, please let him go!"
Zhao Wuji took a step forward, "Lord Xu Sheng, his temperament is a bit reckless, please give him a pass this time"
After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, including Flander and Zhao Wuji, all the Shrek Academy teachers had rapidly released their Martial Souls, and colorful Soul Rings began to rise from their feet...
All eyes were fixed on Xu Sheng's hand gripping Ma Hongjun's hand...
If Xu Sheng really intended to kill their Shrek Academy disciple, these old bones wouldn't let it slide!
Even if it was a Titled Douluo, they could handle a few moves!
Xu Sheng let out a cold laugh, his terrifying blood-red gaze chilling them with a glance, and his icy words slowly emerged, "Are you teaching me how to do things? The person I want to kill, you, don't have the ability to stop me!"
As his words fell, nine terrifying Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings slowly rose from under Xu Sheng's feet...
Then, the hand clutching Ma Hongjun's tightened even more, as if at any moment he could crush his bones along with Ma Hongjun's neck!
Ma Hongjun let out a painful roar, "ARGHHHHH!!"
Flander looked at the many teachers, a few strands of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Wuji, everyone, let's go together, even if it's a Titled Douluo! He can't be sure to win against us!!"
"Seventh Soul Skill! Eagle Cat True Body!!"
"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul True Body! Great Strength King Kong Bear!"
"Seventh Soul Skill! Sugary Bean True Body!"
"Sixth Soul Skill..."
...
In an instant, the Level Seventy Soul Saints all released their Martial Soul True Bodies!
Behind Zhao Wuji and the others, huge creatures appeared, each corresponding to the names of their Martial Souls!!"
Not for any other reason, their Soul Power was nearly twenty levels lower than Xu Sheng's!!
Only by unleashing their Martial Soul True Bodies would they even stand a chance against a Titled Douluo!
...
Oscar pinched his own cheek, exclaiming in horror, "It's over, it's over, the teachers all seem serious now!"
Dai Mubai let out a gasp of cold air, "The attacks of several Soul Sages and a Soul Emperor, I'm afraid even a Titled Douluo couldn't withstand them!"
Other new members of Shrek Academy, like Ning Rongrong, also had solemn expressions as they watched the unfolding scene...
...
"Forgive us!" Following these words that escaped from Flander as he flew into the air...
All the Shrek Academy teachers used their most terrifying soul skills, combining their forces and blasting towards Xu Sheng!
In an instant, there was a sound beneath their feet like mountains collapsing and the ground splitting, and the astonishing energy that erupted seemed as if it could obliterate everything in the vicinity!
...
Xu Sheng, watching Flander and the others use their Martial Soul True Bodies and attack with full force, didn't show a flicker of emotion in his cold gaze.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Blood Mulberry Final Domain!"
The ninth Soul Ring under his feet, with a cultivation level nearing one hundred thousand years, suddenly lit up...
