Tang San's eyes were filled with murderous intent, his aura surging.
When had Luo Yu ever been at a disadvantage?
He certainly wouldn't indulge in such pettiness, his gaze growing increasingly colder.
As the tension within the arena mounted, those around them seemed eager for the drama to escalate.
The majority of onlookers unconsciously sided with Tang San.
Mainly because Luo Yu was too envy-inducing.
Seemingly unremarkable, with an ordinary appearance and an inconspicuous aura.
How could he possibly have twin beauties by his side and still be so close to two other goddesses?
The majority of the crowd were young, proud, and unwilling to accept this.
They could hardly wait for Tang San to teach Luo Yu a lesson, hoping that the four beauties would become thoroughly disillusioned with him.
"Whoosh!"
Xiaowu extended her arm to block the two men.
"Third brother, what's gotten into you? You've been off since yesterday, and you won't tell me what's wrong."
Tang San suddenly broke into a light laugh, "It's nothing, I just can't stand to see a rich young master like him, especially with his intentions to get close to you, how could I tolerate it."
"Huh?"
Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh, finding the accusation absurd.
"Me, a rich young master?"
"Which of your eyes saw that!"
Tang San narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Throwing money around, staying in a hotel with a pair of sisters, what good could come out of that? I can't sense any substantial soul power from you, if not a rich young master, what else could you be?"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "If you can't sense my cultivation level, have you ever thought perhaps your skill is simply too lackluster?"
Tang San laughed, his laugh filled with scorn, "With my Purple Demon Eyes that I've trained for so many years, capable of piercing through illusions without ever failing, where do you show any signs of genuine cultivation?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Never having failed before doesn't mean it won't fail now."
"Impossible." Tang San said confidently, "With my Purple Demon Eyes, even the details of a Soul Emperor's cultivation can't hide. You trying to deceive me right to my face is just laughable."
"You really are confident." Luo Yu glanced around with a light laugh, "With so many people around us, it wouldn't be too nice of me to smack you straight in the face, would it?"
Tang San's aura turned as chilling as piercing bone, his pupils twinkling with a deep purple light, filled with a deadly seriousness.
"A word of advice, be careful with your words and actions. Don't provoke the wrong person."
"Once I make a move, it'll be too late for regrets."
Luo Yu curled his finger invitingly, "Then come on, enough talk, make your move."
"Make it quick and clean."
"Boom!"
Tang San's entire body burst forth with energy, the ground beneath him shattered, and cracks spread like spiderwebs.
The surrounding onlookers became solemn, sensing Tang San's formidable strength.
The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with sympathy as they glanced at Tang San.
"This guy is probably looking for death—"
"On purpose."
Especially Zhu Zhuyun, who seemed quite excited. She had been played by Luo Yu quite badly before, and now another person seeking his own doom had jumped in. She admired his courage.
Ning Rongrong appeared perplexed, as if she just needed a small stool to sit back and enjoy the drama.
To be honest, she had initially found it hard to believe this man was here to join Shrek.
This small, broken-down academy, could it even hold such a deity?
If she hadn't run away from home seeking fun, she wouldn't bother with such a place.
As for Luo Yu's readiness to strike again, Ning Rongrong was full of anticipation.
Compared to the other three women, Xiaowu was a bit worried.
Knowing Tang San's hidden weapon talents and soul power cultivation, she feared Luo Yu might get hurt and once again started to intervene.
"Third brother, calm down."
"Your emotions were never this volatile before, what's happening today that you need to resort to violence?"
Tang San glared and said, "It's one thing for someone to provoke me, but if anyone dares to covet you, I'll make sure they regret it."
Xiaowu shook her head, speaking anxiously, "Brother San, are you misunderstanding something? That person didn't have any designs on me. Besides, they helped us before, don't you remember?"
Tang San sneered, "Of course I remember, otherwise he would be lying down by now."
"Can't you be a little nicer to them?" Xiaowu said angrily, stomping her foot, feeling like Tang San had become a different person that day.
Tang San's voice rose, "Nice? To someone like him, I have no niceties to offer. What I despise the most are these pampered scions who have no real strength and only rely on their family background to bully others."
"Brother San, you're being too arbitrary. They haven't even said anything, how can you label them like that!"
Tang San declared confidently, "My Purple Demon Eyes have reached the second level of the Subtle Realm, and they don't make mistakes."
"No matter how good his acting is, he might deceive others, but he can't fool my eyes. He truly has no real strength and is just putting on airs here."
Xiaowu pushed Tang San away and walked up to Luo Yu, blinking.
"Sorry, don't be mad, okay? Today is the first time I've seen Brother San so worked up."
She bit her lip, "You go ahead and participate in the Shrek test. It doesn't matter if you fall short. If I pass, I'll definitely plead with the examiner for you."
Luo Yu's mouth twitched, hearing what Xiaowu implied, as if she had just offered him sympathy and protection as if he was a vulnerable group.
She couldn't possibly think he was a fool who couldn't beat Tang San.
But it seemed like she did.
Tang San at this point walked around Xiaowu and came over.
"Brother San, what are you doing now?" Xiaowu was clearly unhappy.
Tang San waved his hand, "Step aside, I just want to say one thing to him."
In front of everyone, he said to Luo Yu, "Since Xiaowu has pleaded on your behalf, I'll let you off this time."
"Think about it, with your level of Soul Power, the academy won't even admit you. If you can't join the academy, you won't see Xiaowu anymore, and I'll have no reason to be angry with you."
Tang San was speaking to himself, and the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters and Ning Rongrong, who knew the situation, looked increasingly strange, truly sweating for him.
The three women had already seen Luo Yu's hand slowly lifting, filled with a dangerous aura.
Just then, a shout suddenly erupted from behind a desk.
"Enough with the nonsense, come here to measure your Soul Power Cultivation."
"Let's get one thing straight first: only those under thirteen with a Cultivation Level of twenty or above meet the preliminary admission criteria of the academy."
"Hiss!"
Surprised gasps rose all around.
A twelve-year-old reaching above level twenty in Cultivation Level? Weren't these requirements absurdly strict?
The elder scolded, "Shut up, all of you. If you can't meet the basic criteria, can you even call yourselves little monsters? Those who want to test, hurry up. Stop dawdling."
One by one, people shifted their feet and began testing.
The results were either not enough level or over the age limit.
After testing more than a dozen people, all were eliminated.
The elder's face grew increasingly ugly, utterly disappointed.
"The generations are getting worse!"
Tang San's lips curled into a confident smile, and with his head held high, he said, "Then let me test first."
He elegantly and swiftly walked up to the elder, and expertly placed his hand on the white crystal ball.
The crystal ball instantly erupted in a dazzling bright light.
The teacher responsible for the test narrowed his eyes in surprise and said, "Is this for real? Twenty-nine levels?"
He quickly reached out to feel Tang San's bones, even more shocked, "You're just twelve years old?"
The surroundings instantly buzzed with excitement, everyone filled with disbelief at Tang San's talent.
They were well aware of how astonishing such talent was, an unreachable existence for them.
Tang San nodded, ignoring the envious and respectful gazes around him.
The crystal ball emitted a strong light, reflecting on his confident face as Tang San pointed towards Luo Yu, arrogantly laughing, "I've finished testing, twenty-nine levels."
"What about you?"
"Dare to come try it out?"
