"What a wicked person."
Ye Ling had witnessed the shamelessness of Shrek Academy.
It was clearly their fault, yet now they were directly blaming them.
Zhao Wuji said nothing, but instead walked over to Dai Mobai and Xiao Wu to take a look.
Dai Mobai was fine; he had unleashed his own second spirit ability, so he only suffered minor injuries.
But Xiao Wu was different. She had been struck by Ye Ling's primordial lightning while in her spirit beast form.
Not only were she physically injured, but she had also suffered a degree of mental trauma.
"Sir, don't you think you were a bit ruthless?"
After examining Xiao Wu's injuries, even Zhao Wuji's expression darkened.
"What? You want to help them?"
Ye Ling sneered, his words filled with disdain.
Zhao Wuji's expression was extremely grim. Even with his Soul Sage strength, he couldn't even grasp the strength of the man and woman before him.
But judging by Dugu Yan's talent in her battle with Ma Hongjun, it was clear that these three were no simple contenders.
"Are you being a bit too arrogant?"
Zhao Wuji stepped forward, and seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—appeared at his feet.
"If you don't give me an explanation today, or report your authority, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
Zhao Wuji was reckless, but he was definitely not stupid.
Because he couldn't figure out Ye Ling and the others' identities, he left some room for maneuver in his words.
In the original novel, he hadn't been so patient when he encountered Canghui Academy.
"Sister Bing, they want an explanation from us."
Ye Ling turned to look at Bingdi.
"Please give him an explanation."
Bingdi nodded and immediately stood up.
An extreme chill emanated from Bingdi.
The drinks in the entire restaurant froze solid in the chill.
Fortunately, everyone else in the restaurant had fled during the clash between Dugu Yan and Ma Hongjun. Otherwise, ordinary people would never have been able to withstand such a terrifying temperature. Although
Bingdi didn't reveal her spirit ring, the overwhelming pressure made Zhao Wuji feel as if he was suffocating.
"What... explanation do you want?"
Bingdi stretched out her hand and gently waved it. Zhao Wuji was lifted up in the air as if his neck was being strangled, and he was slammed in front of her.
"Title... Title... Douluo?"
Zhao Wuji's face was purple, and he spoke incoherently.
The rest of the Shrek people trembled at the words he spoke.
Some were frozen, but most were frightened.
Titled Douluo were the most powerful people on the continent.
How many Titled Douluo are there in the entire Douluo Continent?
You could run into one in any town's inn, and the Shrek people didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky.
"Please... Your Majesty... spare my life..."
Zhao Wuji didn't dare to struggle, and could only intermittently plead with the Ice Emperor.
He knew his own limitations, just like how he immediately cowered upon seeing Tang Hao in the original novel.
"Your Majesty, my father is Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Please, Your Majesty, for my father's sake, don't embarrass us."
Just then, Ning Rongrong approached the Ice Emperor and bowed.
"Ning Rongrong."
The Ice Emperor remained silent; she didn't recognize Ning Fengzhi. It was Ye Ling who spoke.
"You must know that even your father, Ning Fengzhi, wouldn't dare to make such a request of me, relying on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's status."
Ye Ling's gaze swept over Ning Rongrong.
He could certainly hear the slight threat in Ning Rongrong's words.
"Even though you have a Titled Douluo protecting you, I will never allow you to look down on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect like this!"
Ning Rongrong had never met Ye Ling before, so she assumed he was looking down on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and so naturally she felt a little angry.
Ye Ling remained silent, but his gaze drifted back to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Second Miss, why are you so silent when we meet?"
Zhu Zhuqing shuddered at the words.
She hadn't seen Ye Ling in five years. She'd only thought the young man bore a striking resemblance to him, but hadn't dared to acknowledge him.
Now, after hearing Ye Ling's words, she knew his identity.
She immediately took a few steps forward, bowed slightly, and saluted.
"Greetings, Young Pavilion Master Ye."
She was no longer the naive Zhu Zhuqing of the past.
She'd heard a bit about the reputation of the Butian Pavilion within the spirit master world over the years.
Combined with what she'd seen and heard back then, she naturally knew its strength and wouldn't be impolite.
"Second Young Miss is such a noble person, how could she be mingling with these bastards now?"
Ye Ling surveyed the others at Shrek Academy, shaking his head with a look of regret.
"A pervert, a man who distorts right and wrong, a sly stab in the back, a reckless man, a coward, and a spoiled brat."
"Second Young Miss, can she become stronger by hanging around with people like that?"
Ye Ling asked, shaking his head.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing came to Shrek Academy largely for Dai Mobai.
After all, Dai Mobai was her fiancé.
She had assumed Dai Mobai had been diligently cultivating at Shrek Academy, despite the hardships he endured.
However, upon arriving, she discovered he was busy playing with women, employing all sorts of tricks.
The so-called Shrek Academy, aside from the teachers' high soul power levels, couldn't offer them any other resources for cultivation.
Honestly, she was truly disappointed.
"Young Pavilion Master, please, for the sake of our past friendship, release Teacher Zhao for now,"
Zhu Zhuqing said, bowing again.
"Well, I'll grant you this favor,"
Ye Ling said to Bing Di, who was standing beside her.
"Sister Bing, please let him go."
Bing Di didn't say anything, immediately retracting her grip on Zhao Wuji.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Zhao Wuji, released from his grasp, gasped for breath.
After recovering, he immediately bowed to Bing Di and Ye Ling.
"We'll leave now and not disturb Your Majesty's rest,"
he said, and immediately called the Shrek Seven Devils to depart.
He was a seasoned warrior, and he understood the principle of not suffering a loss in the face of adversity.
"Wait,"
Ye Ling's voice reached Zhao Wuji's ears slowly.
A bitter expression crossed Zhao Wuji's face, and he slowly turned around.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"This fat guy spoke rudely to me and glared at the Titled Douluo beside me with a lewd look."
"Titled Douluos should not be bullied. You don't expect me to let this go easily, do you?"
Ye Ling's gaze rested on Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun no longer had the arrogance he had earlier; his face was pale and trembling.
"So, what do you want to do, sir?"
Zhao Wuji also glanced at Ma Hongjun, inwardly blaming him for causing such a big commotion.
"What should we do? Of course, we have to start with the root cause."
Ye Ling extended his hand and swung it, sending an icy blade darting across Ma Hongjun's lower body at breakneck speed.
Ma Hongjun felt a chill in his crotch, as if something had fallen off, but he didn't feel any pain.
"Without the root of my troubles, I'll definitely be much more honest in the future."
After doing all this, Ye Ling's face revealed a harmless smile.
