"No, Xue Beng," one of his lackeys shouted. "Why do you act so arrogantly every day? Why do we have to do all the dirty and tiring work? What kind of person are you, anyway?"
"Exactly!" another one yelled. "You play with women, and we take the blame. You peek at others bathing, and we take the blame. We take the blame for all the bad things. Why?! Damn it, isn't it just because you're a good-for-nothing prince? What abilities do you even have?!"
Xue Beng's lackeys, who were originally like dogs, were now acting as if they had eaten gunpowder, firing wildly at Xue Beng. Xue Beng was also furious. Even if they hadn't said anything, he was already enraged under the influence of the bursting stinky tofu.
"What do you mean I'm a good-for-nothing prince?" he screamed back. "If I'm a good-for-nothing prince, then what are you guys? You don't even want to be my lackeys? Many people want to be my lackeys but can't. I've really given you too much face! Spirit Assimilation!" Xue Beng instantly completed his Spirit Assimilation and rushed toward the others. The others were not to be outdone, and the dozen or so people instantly devolved into a chaotic brawl. Various Spirit Abilities flew everywhere, and blood splattered on one robe after another.
Flender and the others watched the miserable state of Xue Beng and the dozen or so people and gasped. Ye Yin was truly too perverse. Such a casual move led to such a serious outcome. This was far worse than being beaten by Dai Mubai. You should never provoke Ye Yin if you want to cause trouble. Although he didn't have much offensive capability, he had countless methods!
Watching Xue Beng and his lackeys fighting, Flender frowned. He turned to Zhao Wuji beside him. "These are the students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy? They're just a pile of trash. I'm already starting to wonder if coming here was a mistake."
Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile. "Don't ask me. How would I know? The Royal Fight Team that fought to a draw with the little freaks last time wasn't like this. Perhaps there are dregs everywhere."
Yu Xiaogang also sighed. "Although I knew the student quality at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was poor, I didn't expect it to be this bad. This is truly beyond my expectations."
Just then, a strong voice suddenly rang out. "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
A figure rapidly approached from the hillside. He wore a silver, tight-fitting suit and looked to be about the same age as Flender. His face was like a silver plate, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and his hands were clasped behind his back, giving him the appearance of a master.
"Great, Teacher Sun is here," the students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy cried out, scrambling to greet him. "Teacher Sun, you must uphold justice for us!"
As soon as Sun Buyu arrived, he smelled the surströmming. "Ugh!"
[Resentment from Sun Buyu +30!]
"What is that? It stinks so much!" he exclaimed. Then, Sun Buyu smelled the bursting stinky tofu. Looking at the students in a chaotic mess, he grew angrier the more he looked.
"What do you all look like right now?" he roared. "You're still students of my Heaven Dou Royal Academy! This is utterly disgraceful! No, I can't stand it anymore. I have to beat you all up today!" Sun Buyu couldn't hold back. He repeatedly slapped Xue Beng's face.
[Resentment from Xue Beng +50!]
After slapping Xue Beng, Sun Buyu immediately went to slap the others. He didn't stop until each of them was on the verge of fainting. But he was still incredibly angry in his heart. The more he looked, the angrier he got. If he weren't afraid of killing them, he would have unleashed several high-intensity Spirit Abilities.
"Hmph!" Sun Buyu snorted coldly and kicked them all flying, one by one. After kicking everyone away, he finally felt less angry. Only then did he notice the people from Shrek Academy.
"I am Sun Buyu," he said. "May I ask why you have come to my Heaven Dou Academy?"
Flender calmly replied, "We are here to find Qin Ming."
"You're looking for Teacher Qin?" Sun Buyu's heart stirred. "May I ask if you are from Shrek Academy in Balak Kingdom?"
Flender nodded. "Precisely so."
Sun Buyu's expression immediately became respectful. "To be able to train a genius like Teacher Qin, I am filled with admiration. Please, everyone, come in quickly." The group from Shrek Academy, led by Sun Buyu, began their ascent toward the academy in the mountains.
On the other side, Xue Beng, who had been kicked flying, regained consciousness. The more he thought about what had just happened, the angrier he became. "**Those people from Shrek Academy! And Sun Buyu... how dare they hit me! You must all pay the price!" He then looked at his lackeys. "And you guys!"
Xue Beng immediately began yelling at his former lackeys, then quickly went to find Prince Xue Xing. The nominal head of Heaven Dou Royal Academy was Emperor Xue Ye, but the actual manager was Prince Xue Xing.
Xue Beng arrived at Prince Xue Xing's residence as quickly as possible. After a long wait, he finally met the prince. Prince Xue Xing was wearing a large yellow robe embroidered with clusters of flowers, yet it looked perfectly neat. His grizzled hair was neatly combed back. He was of medium height, slightly corpulent, and had a dignified appearance. He carried a strong air of nobility.
"Xue Beng is here," Prince Xue Xing said with a smile, looking at Xue Beng. "What's wrong? You've come to see your uncle. Is there something else?"
Xue Beng nodded. "Uncle, today, at the academy, some bumpkins from Shrek Academy threw something at me. They threw some stinky stuff, I don't know what it was. Then I was beaten by some students. They used to be my lackeys, and now they dare to hit me! And that guy Sun Buyu! He didn't help me get revenge; he even dared to hit me! And finally, he kicked me flying! I'm all bruised up. Uncle, you absolutely must help me get revenge. Those people from Shrek Academy, those students, and Sun Buyu... kick them all out! They want to come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy for an exchange? Exchange my ass!"
Prince Xue Xing gradually frowned as he listened to Xue Beng's words. It wasn't because there was anything wrong with what Xue Beng was saying; it was that Xue Beng always expected him to solve his problems. He was also affected by the smell of the bursting stinky tofu.
"Are you saying all these people hit you?" he asked.
Xue Beng nodded. "That's right, Uncle! These people must be severely punished! How dare they hit me!" Xue Beng got angry just thinking about it. It was one thing for those from Shrek Academy not to know his identity, but didn't the others know?
Prince Xue Xing said with great difficulty, "Actually, your uncle really wants to hit you right now, too!"
