Chapter 70: The Internal Conflict Among the Six Monsters
"Oscar, don't just stand there. Kill it quickly! After absorbing its spirit ring, we still need to help Tang San find the Soul-Draining Toad!"
"Oh, okay, Teacher Zhao!"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's urging, Oscar stepped forward with his dagger. Just as he was about to finish off the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake, he heard an angry shout.
"Stop!"
Oscar paused.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman and a young girl hurriedly approaching from a distance.
They were none other than the Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter Meng Yiran.
Without external interference, the plot remained unchanged, and Tang San ultimately fought on Oscar's behalf.
However, this time, having lost 90% of his spirit power, Tang San quickly became overwhelmed by the struggle for the Snake Staff.
Seeing this, Tang San, unable to care for anything else, launched his hidden weapon.
"Whoosh!"
A small arrow shot from his wrist, heading straight for Meng Yiran.
Seeing this, Meng Yiran, who was fighting for the snake staff, tried to dodge.
However, the distance between them was too close, and with her speed, it was too late to evade.
Just as the arrow was about to strike Meng Yiran, a gray spirit power suddenly appeared, shattering the arrow.
"How dare you, young man, attack me from behind!"
This gray spirit power was naturally the work of Chao Tianxiang.
Seeing Meng Yiran's advantage, she had refrained from intervening, as a way of giving Zhao Wuji face.
She had never imagined that the opposing student would be so despicable as to use a hidden weapon!
If she hadn't been keeping a close eye on the battle, Meng Yiran would have been seriously injured, if not dead!
"Senior, please calm down, please calm down!"
Seeing that Chao Tianxiang was about to attack, Zhao Wuji quickly intervened.
Seeing Zhao Wuji intentionally or unintentionally releasing spirit rings, Chao Tianxiang gradually calmed down.
Now that Long Gong was no longer with them, she alone could not defeat Zhao Wuji.
If she angered him, it wouldn't be a problem for her, but Yiran would likely be killed.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her rage and demanded, "Brother Zhao, your student is so ruthless. Don't you think he deserves a lesson?"
Hearing Chao Tianxiang's words, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but smile wryly. "Senior, you don't know, this child's fighting style is just that. If you are a lord, don't hold grudges, so don't bother with a child."
Hearing this, Chao Tianxiang was furious, but she had no other choice.
After all, the situation was stronger than her own, and she couldn't ignore Meng Yiran's safety and insist on killing Tang San.
Seeing Chao Tianxiang remained silent, Zhao Wuji said cheerfully, "Senior, since you have nothing to say, this Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is ours!"
"No! That last round doesn't count!"
"Why not?"
"Humph! Your student won unfairly in that match, using only dirty tricks. Otherwise, how could he have won that soul power contest?"
Zhao Wuji's face darkened as he listened to Chao Tianxiang's words.
He admitted that Tang San's little tricks were indeed insidious.
However, he also had to admit that they were indeed very practical.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pass his entrance exam with just this.
Although he understood the truth, the fact that she said it so ruthlessly made him feel a little embarrassed.
If he hadn't been wary of the Dragon Lord behind her, he would have gotten rid of them both long ago!
After all, his title of Acala is not a good reputation!
So, Zhao Wuji said with a gloomy face: "Senior, although my student's behavior was a bit despicable, it is an indisputable fact that he won! As a Soul Emperor, are you also going to be like a street scoundrel and can't afford to lose?"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's question, Chao Tianxiang was about to refute when Ning Rongrong behind him spoke.
"What?! It's clearly Tang San's fault! When has a soul master ever used anything else in a competition? What's so glorious about a victory won by exploiting loopholes in the rules? If you're going to compete, do it honorably. Cheating and slyly are nothing! If you can't even beat a girl, I think your Blue Silver Grass spirit is just that!"
Without Xiao Wu as a mediator, Ning Rongrong never integrated into the Shrek community.
Hence her words.
Upon hearing this, except for Oscar, who hesitated to speak, the other boys were furious.
Dai Mubai threatened by name, "Ning Rongrong, what do you mean? Don't think you can stir up trouble here just because you're the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's little princess! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I won't mind showing you my strength!"
"Boss Dai, I support you! I've disliked her for a long time. She always acts so high and mighty. I don't know who gave her that! In my opinion, she deserves a beating! A good beating will be enough!"
Ma Hongjun, standing nearby, clearly enjoying the excitement, kept goading Dai Mubai.
As for Tang San, the protagonist of the incident, he remained silent.
However, in his heart, Ning Rongrong had already planned her own death!
Seeing that she had incurred public outrage, Ning Rongrong quickly hid behind Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing had been her only friend during this period.
And Zhu Zhuqing did not disappoint her, standing in front of her.
Because, in her eyes, compared to Tang San's disgrace, she cared more about Dai Mubai's current behavior!
Ever since arriving at Shrek Academy, she had lost faith in Dai Mubai.
Now, he was even trying to attack an auxiliary spirit master right in front of her!
Could such a cowardly man really lead her back to the Star Luo Empire and seize the throne?
In her opinion, it was practically impossible!
Therefore, for her own future, she had to consider another path.
After all, she didn't want to die yet!
"Zhuqing, are you sure you want to stand up for her?"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing standing in his way, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth in anger.
If it weren't for the fact that she could form a spirit fusion technique with him, he would have strangled this vile woman with his own hands!
He was a prince after all, so what was wrong with playing with women?
What emperor didn't have a group of women behind him?
However, for the sake of the greater good, he temporarily compromised.
During this time, he had repeatedly begged for her forgiveness.
However, she remained cold and indifferent, as if he were a stranger in her world.
He was unwilling to accept this
, but there was not much he could do.
After all, the Shrek people wouldn't let him do anything wrong.
Seeing him say that, Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly and said, "So what? Today, I'll protect her! Also, please call me by my full name—Zhu Zhuqing! I'm not familiar with you!"
