Xue Beng invoked Prince Xue Xing's power to drive away the Shrek Academy members.
He offered a condition: if the Shrek Academy members could defeat Dugu Bo, they could stay.
It sounded nice, but it was really just a way to get rid of them.
Immediately, Poison Douluo's body trembled.
Nine spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—shone brightly in the hall.
A powerful pressure descended upon everyone.
Poison Douluo looked at the Shrek Academy members and coldly said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
It was obvious that even if all of Shrek Academy's members attacked together, they couldn't defeat a Title Douluo.
This forceful way of driving them away made the proud Shrek Academy members feel extremely humiliated.
However, facing Poison Douluo, they had no choice but to bow their heads.
Flander was furious and was about to summon his spirit to fight back.
Grandmaster stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Then Grandmaster turned to look at Meng Shenji and the other two.
"We apologize, three seniors. Let's leave it at that. But we will never forget your warm hospitality. Farewell."
The three instructors were alarmed to see their talented disciple, who had come to their doorstep, about to be forced away.
Meng Shenji snorted coldly.
"Dugu Bo, let the three of us old folks experience your poison."
The three instructors summoned their martial souls, all three with identical spirit ring configurations:
yellow, purple, and black.
In an instant, the hall was filled with the light of spirit rings.
The atmosphere was tense.
Prince Xue Xing was stunned. The reaction of the three instructors was beyond his expectations. They were actually willing to fight a titled Douluo for a group of people from the outer academy.
The three's actions deeply moved the Shrek Academy side.
Flander sighed slightly, his clenched fist slowly loosening, and his eyes, hidden behind his crystal glasses, regained their composure. Flander bowed slightly to the three Soul Douluos, saying,
"I didn't expect my visit to cause such trouble for you three seniors. I am ashamed. Since the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is unwilling to keep us, how could we possibly beg? Even if we miss today, we will likely not have peace. Farewell, three seniors. I will visit you again another day."
Just after the Shrek Academy members left, Dugu Yan ran over
and threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms, calling out sweetly,
"Grandpa!"
The Shrek Academy members did not linger and headed down the mountain.
Dugu Yan was still confused as to why the Shrek Academy members had left. She pointed at Tang San and Ma Hongjun in Dugu Bo's arms and whispered a few words.
Dugu Yan had always been proud. She had been resentful of being defeated by the Shrek Academy team.
Ma Hongjun had stabbed her man with a gun, and Tang San had cleverly neutralized her snake venom.
She harbored resentment towards both of Shrek's captains and vice-captains.
Of course, she was mostly just resentful.
Dugu Yan naturally had no say in such important matters concerning the academy, and whether Shrek Academy joined or not was unimportant to her; her heart was only for Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Bo gave Ma Hongjun and Tang San a deep look, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The Shrek members left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in anger and frustration, unsure of where to go.
Ning Rongrong suggested going to her family's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle, repeatedly assuring them that her father would welcome them and treat them like VIPs.
However, having just experienced their ordeal at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Flander disliked this feeling of being dependent on others.
In such a powerful force, having no voice was too restrictive.
Therefore, he refused Ning Rongrong's offer.
Just as the Shrek members left the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming followed.
"Dean, it was my fault, please punish me,"
Qin Ming said, kneeling before Flander.
Flander quickly helped Qin Ming up; this disciple was his pride, both in ability and character.
After the Shrek Academy members left, Qin Ming also resigned and left. He had brought Shrek Academy with him, but they had been humiliated because of it.
Qin Ming felt it was his responsibility, and naturally he didn't want to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy any longer. He
wanted to leave with his sect.
Thus, the group could only leave aimlessly. Now that they had been kicked out, they could only stay in Heaven Dou City for the time being and then make plans.
Meanwhile, the three old men of the Teaching Committee, under pressure from Poison Douluo, were helpless and could only leave angrily, preparing to file a complaint with the Emperor.
The three immediately went to the palace.
Meng Shenji and Zhilin went to see Emperor Xue Ye.
Bai Baoshan went alone to see His Highness the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.
"Your Highness!"
Xue Qinghe and Yu Feng were somewhat similar, both possessing faces more beautiful than a woman's.
"Have you tried Ma Hongjun? How strong is he now?" Xue Qinghe asked expectantly.
"Very strong, completely beyond my expectations.
His martial soul is a bright silver spear, and his soul ring configuration is
yellow, purple, purple, and black.
I used my Heavenly Star Furnace to make him attack..."
Bai Baoshan immediately recounted the events of that time to Xue Qinghe without missing a single detail, including his boast about injuring his martial soul and joining forces with Ma Hongjun.
Xue Qinghe had known about Ma Hongjun for three years.
The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, actually had another identity.
He was a hidden boss, as Ma Hongjun, who had transmigrated, knew.
Like Yu Feng, she was also disguised as a man, besides her identity as the Crown Prince.
Her true identity was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue.
Ma Hongjun awakened a mutated martial soul at the age of six, coupled with innate full soul power; his information couldn't possibly escape the Spirit Hall's attention.
At that time, Ma Hongjun was still very weak, and Qian Renxue was also young. Within the Heaven Dou royal family, it was difficult to have too much contact with the Spirit Hall, for fear of exposing their identities.
However, as Qian Renxue grew stronger, she gradually built her own network of power, using her dual identities as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince and the Spirit Hall Saintess, one openly and one covertly.
The Spirit Hall practically controlled information about the entire spirit master world, and Qian Renxue, wanting to expand her influence, naturally needed to recruit spirit masters. Therefore, wherever an outstanding spirit master genius appeared within Heaven Dou, their information would quietly appear on her desk.
Three years prior, Ma Hongjun was still a Great Spirit Master with Yellow and Purple Soul Configurations.
Qian Renxue had noticed Ma Hongjun then, but there wasn't a suitable opportunity, and Ma Hongjun, as a Great Spirit Master, was still very weak, so she didn't begin recruiting him. She
simply sent people to secretly follow him.
At that time, Qian Renxue only noticed Ma Hongjun, because all the information on potential spirit masters in the entire Heaven Dou Empire was compiled for her. There were too many talented spirit masters; Ma Hongjun was just one of the more outstanding ones.
Later, after Ma Hongjun reached the Soul Master level, he never registered at the Spirit Hall again.
However, his life remained under Qian Renxue's constant scrutiny.
Until recently, Ma Hongjun demonstrated his Soul Master strength at the Grand Soul Arena, his yellow-purple-black soul ring configuration completely astonishing Qian Renxue.
Just as she was about to step forward to recruit him, the Royal Fighting Team appeared.
Learning that Shrek Academy was going to join the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy overjoyed her.
This way, she wouldn't need to go through the trouble of recruiting; it would be a natural progression. However
, the unexpected intervention of Avalanche disrupted her perfectly logical plan. (
