Capítulo 21: Chapter 21 - Star Dou Great Forest
________________
---Night---
Star Dou Great Forest,
Star Dou Great Forest was located southeast of Balak Kingdom, sharing a very short border with Balak Kingdom. Suotuo City itself was also in the southeast of the Kingdom, not far from Star Dou Great Forest, less than five hundred kilometers therefore, this was naturally the optimal choice for Shrek Academy students to obtain spirit rings.
With the aid of Oscar's sausages, barely using one day, at nightfall, the Shrek Academy party had already run more than four hundred kilometers.
Seeing that they would be unable to reach the destination today, Zhao Wuji issued orders to rest. Since they had just reached a small town, if they continued further, whether there would be supply was hard to say.
By now, Zhao Wuji had indicated a very ordinary-looking hotel ahead, saying "We will stay there. Rest one night and set out early tomorrow. You bear your own lodging and food costs."
The hotel was a small two-story building, the first floor was a simple dining hall, and on the second floor were accommodations. Zhao Wuji rented a single room and went directly upstairs. Dai Mubai and everyone, after simply talking it over, rented a four-person room for the four boys and another two-person room for the two girls as Lev paid for himself and Zhu Zhuqing a room for themselves.
Right after that, everyone then started familiarizing themselves on their own before heading down and deciding to eat. The eight found a table in a corner and sat down. Although the eight people sat around a table, the mood could not at all be considered harmonious, with Zhu Zhuqing's cold face and Ning Rongrong's lowered head thinking of something, and Lev who was minding his own business.
Suddenly, a party of eight suddenly walked in from outside and you can clearly see that they were also spirit masters.
The leader was looking like a more than forty years old middle-aged man. In appearance, he was also considered handsome, with combed hair exceedingly bright, all over wearing a moon-white Spirit Master gown even more exceptionally exquisite, embroidered with a silver-colored design, twinkling radiantly as he moved.
Following behind the middle-aged man were six males and one female youth, seemingly about twenty years old and the most obvious thing is that they all had a blue symbol which indicates that they were from Blue Sunshine Academy.
After they settled down, they were just separated from Shrek by two tables. It was normal to see Spirit Master around the place and yet one of the students suddenly stood up and started to walk towards Dai Mubai's group.
As the story goes, the youth suddenly make a scene in which Dai Mubai and Tang San also fight back and a fight immediately breaks out. The diners near the two tables of Shrek Academy and Blue Sunshine Academy hastily got out of their way to avoid disaster.
"What Academy do you children belong to?" The middle-aged man then stood up and asked.
"You don't deserve to know." Light flickered in Dai Mubai's double-pupil evil eyes as he replied.
Hearing Dai Mubai's reply, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher's face then ashened from anger, and said, "Fine, you arrogant brats, instruct them for me."
The Blue Sunshine Academy students moved at once after his words as they immediately rushed towards Tang San's group's table. Smiles could be seen on their face which probably means that they enjoy doing these kinds of things and that they were not their only victims.
As the situation could no longer be mended, Xiao Wu was the first to attack. She used his body enhancement and then used her 2nd spirit ring to distract them and finally used her 1st spirit ability to finish it.
One of the students was caught off guard and suffered some injury. The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher seeing Xiao Wu's attack methods was also stunned for a moment, alarm mixing with anger, saying, "Idiots, use your spirits."
Hearing the teacher, the Blue Sunshine students then released their spirits. They consisted of three tool spirits while the other was beast spirits however, Dai Mubai and the others also released their spirit making their momentum crash after seeing Dai Mubai's three spirit rings.
With that, the Blue Sunshine Academy's teacher finally couldn't help but stand forward, waving a hand toward his students, saying, "You all withdraw."
After seeing that the other party was beyond his expectations, he decided to act himself. He then no longer hesitated and with a light flickering within his eyes, he also released his spirit. He said, "Black Tortoise Body Enhancement."
A black ripple then released from within his body, forcibly pushing back the pressure of Tang San's group. His four limbs simultaneously contracted by one-third, his back swelling, unexpectedly bearing a huge shell. Black light twinkled over his whole body, a full five spirit rings rising from below, spiraling above his body. The five spirit rings were one white, two yellow, and two purple.
Dai Mubai's expression changed, gaze floating over to Tang San beside him and both of them shared a look, naturally understanding his meaning. Lev, on the other hand, was only sitting quietly on the other side not planning to help as he just looked at them fighting enjoying the notification sounds that kept echoing in his head.

They were then about to fight when suddenly the hotel owner pleaded, "All of you, all of you Spirit master's uncles, I beseech you, don't fight inside my small shop, it's a small business, a small business..."
After hearing what the hotel owner said, the group then decided to fight outside. Dai Mubai and the others were not afraid. They, on the other hand, were planning on how to win. Ning Rongrong also joined and wanted to help the group which greatly surprised Tang San and the others seeing her taking the initiative to help so they then included her in their plan even though they knew how unreasonable her attitude was.
"Do you want me to join?" Lev suddenly butted in after seeing them so serious about it though he has another reason for joining.
Hearing Lev, Tang San, and Dai Mubai looked at each other. Though they were not on good terms with Lev, his strength was without a doubt a helpful one. With that, they then temporarily decided to set aside their misunderstandings for now and focused on winning the battle.
Very quickly everyone reached outside, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher then said, "I will teach you a lesson today."
After hearing what he said, Dai Mubai and the others rushed forward and Dai Mubai used his 2nd spirit ring ability, White Tiger Lighting Wave.
The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher then used his 1st and 3rd spirit rings simultaneously.
"1st Spirit ring ability: Black Tortoise Protective Form."
"3rd Spirit ring ability: Black Water Surge."
Dai Mubai's attack did not cause any damage, but it made an opportunity for Tang San.
Tang San then used his 1st spirit ring ability, Bind, to restrict the movements of the opponent.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu then rushed and used their spirit ring abilities to attack but due to the hardness of the shell, it barely left a scratch.
Seeing that their combo was useless, Dai Mubai then used his 3rd spirit ring ability and rushed forward and punched with all his might.
The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher flew backward after being hit but he immediately decided to initiate an attack by using his 2nd spirit ring ability.
"2nd Spirit Ring: Black Water Freezing"
With that, a skill that resembled a flame thrower, but it was made of ice was now coming from his mouth.
However, Ma Hongjun finally makes a scene and attacks.
"1st Spirit Ring Ability: Phoenix Fire Wire."
"2nd Spirit Ring Ability: Bathing Fire Phoenix."
Ma Hongjun's body is now covered with flames. With the effect of his 2nd spirit ring ability, the power of his flame was increased by 30%. He then used his 1st spirit ring ability which emits a straight-line flame from his mouth to counter the attack of the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher.
But due to the spirit power difference, Ma Hongjun's attack vanished. The black water freezing power still continues to move towards Ma Hongjun's direction which, fortunately, he dodged due to Ning Rongrong's assistance.
The group did not anticipate and even doubt that their opponent was an attacker spirit master instead of a defensive one. Their expressions changed after that clash but what they did not notice that even the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher was clueless about was the fact that Lev was already behind his back.
'Looks like I don't have to worry.' Lev thought. He was actually looking out for Zhu Zhuqing thinking that she might still not be familiar with her new strength. Fighting in such a condition was only detrimental but seeing her adjusting in just one day made him feel relief. He then just looked at the Blue Sunshine Academy's back as he grinned evilly before using a spirit ability.
***Saiha***
With that, a dragon roared and immediately became a blade-shaped flame in Lev's arms.
Hearing the roar of a dragon, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher hurriedly looked back, but it was already too late as Lev already slashed off his arms seeing it fall to the ground.
Lev makes the heat of the flame so hot that when it hit the arms of the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher, despite its great defense, directly fell off without difficulty.
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Blue Sunshine Academy teacher shouted in pain after finally seeing what happened. He looked at his arms bleeding non-stop while howling in pain. He even forgot about Lev as he was very shocked by the sudden events.
On the other hand, Tang San and the others were surprised as they also did not notice Lev. They looked at the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher who was crying from pain and immediately became pale after seeing the blood and his arms on the ground. With that, they then looked at Lev and somehow felt a little afraid of him seeing a faint smile on his face with some bloodstains on his body while looking at the wailing teacher.
Seeing the situation of their teacher, the Blue Sunshine Academy students immediately rushed toward their teacher while Lev just looked at them without doing anything. Despite being afraid, they still helped their teacher and looked at Lev grimly.
Lev looked at the student's reactions and saw how they were so loyal to their teacher. Though they were considered small-time villains in this arc, seeing their loyalty towards their teacher makes his heart touched and so he moved his hands and then used a spirit ability. He said, "Nature's Heal."
Right after that, a white light covered the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher, and the pain and blood flow then mysteriously stopped but the fact that his hand was no more remains a reality.
"I think this would pose as a great lesson. Don't think that the life of a spirit master is easy. You must be cruel enough or you will become subject to cruelty instead." Lev then left a message as he went back to the hotel to rest. Though his actions were not necessary, they would only serve as a lesson for the others.
The two parties did not utter a single word while Lev's words ran through their mind while still shocked at how the fight ended.
"W-Who was that!!?" The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher shouted with some fear in his voice while holding his lost arm. It was the first time he had experienced this while living as a teacher at the academy and he felt so afraid that he was about to wet his pants.
"H-He is one of our classmates." Dai Mubai answered nervously before sighing. He had now realized why Lev was just playing around with him back in the test because if he really wanted to then he would share the same fate as the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher in front of him.
On the other hand, Tang San and Xiao Wu already knew that Lev was strong, but what they did not expect was that he was this strong and cruel. Thinking that he could actually cripple a Sprit King in one blow makes them feel awe and shock.
Meanwhile, Oscar and Ma Hongjun just remained silent and decided inside that they wouldn't make trouble for Lev after seeing how cruel he really was. Though they also felt a little hatred against him for some petty reason, it was not enough to make them go to his bad side.
Unlike the others, Zhu Zhuqing only felt a little surprised before calming down. She looked at the others first as she sighed upon seeing everyone's reaction. She then just looked at Lev's back before following him back to the hotel.
Lastly, Ning Rongrong was shaking after he saw and heard Lev's expression and words earlier. She could not help but feel afraid after knowing that they were not on good terms. Upon knowing that he had a cruel side to him, she felt like there was a need for her to apologize for what happened back then so as to not end up with the same fate.
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the Blue Sunshine Academy group was shocked as they did not expect that there was still more powerful than them especially Dai Mubai and Tang San who they felt were the leader of this group. The teacher was about to say something when suddenly a shout echoed loudly in the area.
"Late at night, yet you haven't gone to bed, running out and getting up to what?"
Tang San's group looked blank for a moment as they were familiar with this voice. A large figure then appeared in everyone's field of view. The arrival was Zhao Wuji, their teacher and guide in their mission.
"What happened here?" Zhao Wuji asked and then looked at the Blue Sunshine Academy's side. He did not what was happening, but he was surprised to see a middle-aged whose arms were cut off and some blood on the floor. With that clue, he has already deduced that a fight might have happened.
"We were just having a small fight, Teacher Zhao." Tang San immediately answered.
"Small? Then, what happened to this person?" Zhao Wuji asked again while looking at the middle-aged man making the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher crawl back and shuddered with nervousness.
"I-It's Lev." Ning Rongrong fearfully answered while feeling that she wanted to throw up after seeing the gory scene again in front of her.
This time, Zhao Wuji's eyes glistened after hearing Ning Rongrong's words. Though he was doubtful, he then looked at the others and the latter nodded in unison. Zhao Wuji did not expect that Lev also had this side of him, but he wouldn't question him for that since this kind of thing was normal in their choice of profession.
"All of you, go back to sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow." Zhao Wuji then said to them. Though he was curious about what happened, just the evidence was enough to answer his curiosity.
With that, Tang San's group immediately went back, and Zhao Wuji then followed.
"Teacher, are we going to do nothing? Shouldn't they give us an explanation?" One student hurriedly asked.
"Stupid! You all know that those kids are all monsters. Then how can an ordinary teacher handle them, that will only mean that their teacher was also a monster." The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher replied angrily.
"Teacher, what will happen to you now?" Another student asked while looking at his arms.
Hearing the student, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher sighed as he completely regretted fighting those monsters. He then looked at his arms and then said, "Let's head back to the academy first."
Following that, the Blue Sunshine students then helped their teacher as they left the place.
