"No! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's desperate cries of remorse, Lin Ye once again flew to Zhao Wuji's front and landed another punch squarely on his face. In an instant, Zhao Wuji was blasted out of the sky before crashing onto the ground, finally bringing an end to the fight.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud crash, Zhao Wuji slammed into the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, the ground revealed a Zhao Wuji still in his Martial Soul True Formâhis appearance resembling that of a humanoid Vajra Bear.
However, at this moment, Zhao Wuji's face was swollen like a pig's head, with many teeth missing from his mouth. His golden fur was wrinkled and covered in splotches of blood.
After being pounded into the ground by Lin Ye, Zhao Wuji's mind was still in a daze. He lay there like a dead pig, greedily savoring this long-lost moment of peace.
Seeing Zhao Wuji's current state, the onlookersâexcept for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrongâall shuddered uncontrollably, even Xiao Wu.
Oh my god!
This is a Defense-type Soul Sage, and he was still beaten up like this?! This is terrifying!
While they were horrified by Zhao Wuji's fate, everyone also secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, warning themselves internally:
Never mess with Zhu Zhuqing! Who knows if Lin Ye will beat me up just like he did to Zhao Wuji!
Meanwhile, as he looked at Zhao Wuji lying on the ground, Dai Mubai's face alternated between pale and blue, his rigid expression barely masking his deep-seated fear.
Although Dai Mubai outwardly appeared unruly and defiant, in truth, he was not someone with an unyielding spirit. On the contrary, he was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
For someone like Tang San, who could match his strength, Dai Mubai showed extra respect.
But when it came to Ma Hongjun and Oscar, he bossed them around with impunity.
No matter how good or harmonious their surface-level relationship seemed, at least for now, Dai Mubai did not truly regard Oscar and Ma Hongjun as his brothers.
At first, because he thought Lin Ye was just an ordinary noble youth, Dai Mubai didn't take him seriously when he set his sights on Zhu Zhuqing. His only thoughts were about how to snatch Zhu Zhuqing away.
Later, when he discovered that Zhu Zhuqing was actually his fiancée, he was more concerned with preserving his dignity than fearing Lin Ye.
Because he wasn't afraid, Dai Mubai was able to feel furious over Zhu Zhuqing's "betrayal," frantically wanting to confront her and demand an explanation. In fact, after that, he even had more despicable thoughts in mind.
But now, after realizing that Lin Ye was an absolute monster of a Soul Kingâcapable of beating a top-tier Soul Sage like Zhao Wuji half to deathâDai Mubai no longer had any intention of questioning Zhu Zhuqing. Instead, he planned to pretend he never noticed anything.
Are you kidding me?!
The only reason he came to Shrek Academy was that he couldn't defeat his elder brother, Davis, and wanted to enjoy life here.
Now, after discovering that his fiancée had someone as terrifyingly strong as Lin Ye by her side, Dai Mubai naturally chose to look the other way.
Otherwise, if he confronted them, who knew if he would end up getting beaten to death?!
Due to his ongoing rivalry with his elder brother Davis, Dai Mubai figured that even if he were killed, the Star Luo Imperial Family might not avenge him because of Davis.
After all, Lin Ye was already this terrifying at the Soul King level. If they tried to take revenge and failed, once Lin Ye became a Titled Douluo, he might just wipe out the entire Star Luo Royal Family!
Knowing how cold-blooded the Star Luo Imperial Family was, Dai Mubai was absolutely convinced that such a possibility was real.
At this moment, faced with Lin Ye, Dai Mubai just wanted to stay as far away as possible.
He only had a few years left before his fate was sealed. With such little precious time, he was determined to enjoy life, play with as many beauties as possible, and avoid getting himself killed!
Because he still wanted to enjoy life, the moment he understood Lin Ye's strength, Dai Mubai immediately erased all his previous anger and schemes toward Zhu Zhuqing from his mind!
âŠ
"Zhao Wuji, have they passed your assessment now?"
Looking at Zhao Wuji, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, greedily inhaling fresh air, Lin Ye spoke indifferently.
"They passed! They passed!"
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Zhao Wuji's eyes were instantly filled with sheer terror. He quickly rolled over and sat up, nodding fervently.
"Good that you understand! From now on, keep your temper in check. If I ever hear that you're acting like today again, I'll personally come back to Shrek Academy and hang you in the air for another beating. Got it?"
Lin Ye coldly warned Zhao Wuji.
"Got it! Got it!"
Zhao Wuji nodded repeatedly, his head bobbing like a pecking chick.
"Hmph! As long as you understand."
Lin Ye snorted and then turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, you should stay at Shrek Academy for now. If you ever feel uncomfortable here and want to leave, you can come find me anytime. I don't think anyone will dare to stop you..."
As he spoke, Lin Ye slightly turned his head and shot a cold glance at Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji shut his mouth and said nothing. He was completely beaten into submission!
"You just arrived in a new environment, so Tangyuan will stay here with you. I'll be heading back first. If you ever want to see me, you can come find me anytime."
After summoning Tangyuan from a clearing outside the training field, Lin Ye handed the little creature over to Zhu Zhuqing with a light smile.
"Mm."
Receiving Tangyuan, Zhu Zhuqing gently stroked the white little fluffball in her arms and softly responded, lowering her head slightly.
On the side, noticing Dai Mubai's blank expression and his refusal to even glance at Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but secretly smirk.
Oh my!
Wasn't Boss Dai furious when he first found out he got cheated on?
How come now, when he's getting humiliated in person, he doesn't even dare to make a sound? Looks like he's been scared stiff!
Hah! I never thought I'd see Boss Dai in such a sorry state!
Ma Hongjun felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.
But then again, this was normal. That monstrous Soul King was way too powerfulâeven Teacher Zhao had been beaten like this. Who would dare lay a finger on Zhu Zhuqing?
Looking at Lin Ye and then at the unrecognizably battered Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine.
WaitâŠ
That girl named Ning Rongrong and that girl named Xiao Wu also seem close to that monster. That means I can't touch them either!
As a man who always played it safe, Ma Hongjun quickly reminded himself of this.
Whatever, I already tricked Boss Dai once. There are plenty of girls outside to enjoy. I'd better steer clear of the ones in the academy!
"I'm leaving now."
After handing Tangyuan over to Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Ye waved his hand and turned to leave.
Watching Lin Ye's departing figure, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong kept their eyes fixed on him until his silhouette disappeared beyond the gates of Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, as soon as Lin Ye left, Zhao Wuji let out a sigh of relief and withdrew his Martial Soul True Form.
But without his Martial Soul enhancements, his body instantly became more fragile and sensitive.
As soon as he returned to his normal state, a wave of intense pain surged through his entire bodyâespecially his faceâcausing him to clutch it and cry out.
"Owâso painful!"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's cry, several nearby gazes immediately turned toward him.
Zhao Wuji's face stiffened. He was just about to curse at them for staringâ
But midway through, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhuqing was still here. A shiver ran through his heart, and he quickly changed targets.
"Ma Hongjun! You want to taste my fist?!"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's scolding, Ma Hongjun's chubby face immediately froze.
Damn it! Everyone was staring, so why single me out?!
âŠ
On the other side, after leaving Shrek Academyâ
Just as Lin Ye exited the village and walked a few hundred meters away, a dark figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Golden Crocodile Elder, what's the matter?"
Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been secretly protecting him all this time, suddenly reveal himself, Lin Ye frowned slightly.
However, Golden Crocodile Douluo become excited hearing what Lin Ye said, "Holy Son, I have found a hundred thousand year old transformed beast."
