Bang!
With a shrill whistling sound, under Lin Ye's full-force punch, Flender immediately plummeted like a falling meteor, crashing onto the street below. Upon impact, a large section of the surrounding street was smashed to pieces, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.
"Cough, cough..."
Struggling to get up from the ground, Flender spat out blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling as if his spine had been shattered by the punch. Although he was also a Soul Sage, compared to Zhao Wuji, Flender's defense was too weak.
The same 210,000 jin of immense force.
If it were Zhao Wuji, in his spirit-possessed state, he could withstand a punch from Lin Ye, but Flender was directly severely injured.
"This kid, just as Zhao Wuji said, is a freak. This strength is even greater than Zhao Wuji's in his spirit-possessed state. And this kid can actually fly, and is faster than me. This is not good, my old friends are not here..."
One hand clutching his chest, the other propping himself up from the ground, Flender wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with difficulty, threw aside his shattered black-framed glasses, and while circulating his soul power to his back, he looked at Lin Ye with a heavy heart.
Because Lin Ye could fly, Zhao Wuji, who was by his side, couldn't be of any help. And since the other helpers were still at Shrek Academy and hadn't arrived, facing Lin Ye alone, he was no match.
And when Lin Ye blasted him out of the sky, Zhu Zhuqing had already disappeared.
This gave Flender a feeling of drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain.
"Damn it! Is our chance for Shrek Academy to prove itself gone just like that?"
Because of Zhu Zhuqing's disappearance, Flender felt very irritable.
But Zhu Zhuqing's escape didn't mean the battle was over.
Because of Flender's actions, Lin Ye had already been provoked.
Without properly teaching Flender a lesson, Lin Ye's anger couldn't be quelled.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing Flender stand up from the ground, Lin Ye immediately swooped down, raised his fist, and prepared to strike Flender.
Facing Lin Ye's attack, although Flender narrowly dodged it at the last moment due to being an agility-type soul master.
But Lin Ye immediately twisted his body and delivered another punch, instantly sending Flender flying into the sky, then flapped his wings and quickly followed.
"This guy, he really hits hard!"
With a punch to the face, his face swollen, although Lin Ye had already held back a lot of strength as he didn't intend to kill Flender, Flender still felt unbearable.
But this was far from over!
The Lightning Falcon wings on his back continuously vibrating, Lin Ye, just like he did with Zhao Wuji before, fiercely beat Flender in the sky.
Although Flender tried to resist midway, activating his spirit avatar and soul skills, it was of no use, he was still being beaten in the sky by Lin Ye.
The Lightning Falcon wings came from a top-tier speed-type soul beast, the Lightning Falcon, and it was a Lightning Falcon with tens of thousands of years of cultivation!
Even without the speed-enhancing soul skill, just relying on the speed of the Lightning Falcon wings, Lin Ye could match Flender in his spirit-possessed state, let alone with the additional fivefold speed boost!
While Lin Ye was beating Flender in the sky, countless residents of Suotuo City below were also startled.
But upon seeing that it was soul masters battling in the sky, all the residents pretended not to see, after all, soul masters, and flying ones at that, were not to be trifled with!
After Lin Ye had beaten Flender for several minutes, Zhao Wuji finally arrived.
Looking at Flender being beaten in the sky, Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly.
"I told you, don't provoke this little monster, Flender, why didn't you listen!"
After arriving below the sky where Lin Ye was beating Flender, Zhao Wuji shouted loudly, hoping Lin Ye would spare Flender.
But unfortunately, Lin Ye didn't listen.
It wasn't until Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong arrived and persuaded him that Lin Ye finally calmed down, carrying the already beaten to a pulp, unrecognizable, and unconscious Flender, flew down, and threw Flender to the ground.
"Lin Ye, I'm sorry, today's incident is all our Shrek Academy's fault, I apologize on behalf of the entire Shrek Academy!"
After Lin Ye came down, Zhao Wuji bowed to Lin Ye with his hands clasped, apologizing solemnly.
"You don't need to apologize to me, you should apologize to Zhuqing, I don't believe Shrek Academy doesn't know Zhuqing's identity."
"Since Shrek Academy can't help her, don't waste her two years, she doesn't have time to waste on you!"
Lin Ye said coldly.
"Yes! Sigh~"
Zhao Wuji nodded silently, wanting to explain the reason, but after thinking about it, he sighed and didn't explain.
After all, the wishes of their Shrek Academy, how could they be more important than someone's life!
"Hmph!"
After taking one last look at Flender, Lin Ye snorted coldly and turned to leave.
If Flender weren't the dean of Shrek Academy and also teaching Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, Lin Ye really wanted to kill him!
"Lin Ye, Zhuqing is gone, will you still come to Shrek Academy to see us in the future?"
Seeing Lin Ye about to leave, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu couldn't help but run to Lin Ye's side, Ning Rongrong grabbing Lin Ye's arm, full of hope as she asked.
"I probably won't come to your Shrek Academy again in the future, but if you want to find me, you can come to the Violet Hotel in Suotuo City, I'm usually there during the day."
Lin Ye thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Lin Ye, how great it was when we were together at Notting Academy, if only you had joined Shrek Academy with us, besides Tang San, you are my second best friend, I admire you the most!"
Beside them, Xiao Wu was somewhat sad.
"Shrek Academy is of no use to me..."
Lin Ye shook his head, his gaze towards Xiao Wu couldn't help but become somewhat complicated.
The latest novel is first published at 69shu!
He really wanted to ask if Xiao Wu could leave Tang San and hide in the Star Dou Forest, but now was not the time.
"Goodbye!"
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Ye turned and left.
Only Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were left watching Lin Ye's departing figure.
...
Following the direction Zhu Zhuqing had left, Lin Ye walked through several streets.
Finally, while passing a street, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared beside Lin Ye from the side, with a cute white mouse standing on her shoulder, it was Tangyuan.
"Lin Ye, thank you, otherwise I might not have been able to leave today..."
Walking beside Lin Ye, Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly to him.
"So, have you seen Dai Mubai clearly at Shrek Academy?"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lin Ye turned to look at her and asked.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her head slightly lowered, falling silent.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't have much feelings for Dai Mubai, due to her mother's indoctrination since childhood, Dai Mubai was like a psychological crutch for her.
Now discovering that Dai Mubai was completely different from what her mother had said, the reality disgusted her, giving Zhu Zhuqing a sense of shattered dreams, but fortunately, she now had a new psychological crutch, which was Lin Ye.
"Since you've seen clearly, that's good. In this world, no one can accompany you to the end except yourself. One's destiny should be in their own hands!"
Lin Ye smiled faintly and said.
"Then what about you, will you accompany me to the end?"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Lin Ye.
"...I don't know, if possible, I am willing to always help you, and also willing to walk with you to the end, but the premise is that you are willing..."
After a moment of silence, Lin Ye answered.
For a strong girl like Zhu Zhuqing, after several months of interaction, it would be false to say he had no feelings for her.
But being born in the Star Luo Empire's Grand Duke's mansion, once she knew his identity as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, whether Zhu Zhuqing would be willing to continue following him, Lin Ye didn't know.
Hearing Lin Ye's answer.
Although Lin Ye answered with uncertainty, Zhu Zhuqing's face instead showed a faint smile.
Having lived from the Nether Duke's mansion until now, Zhu Zhuqing had long seen the cruelty of human nature.
Compared to Lin Ye answering with companionship, she felt that Lin Ye's answer of uncertainty, and willingness if possible, was the true expression of concern and respect for her!
As long as you don't abandon me, I am willing to always stay by your side.
Because in this world, the only one who cares about me... is you.
Turning her head slightly to glance at Lin Ye, Zhu Zhuqing silently thought in her heart.
