Chapter 27 Tang San and His Three Friends Embarrass themselves
Zhao Wuji remained silent. With him around, a Soul King couldn't cause much trouble.
Dai Mubai and his group had been causing too much trouble lately; letting them suffer a bit wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
If they really messed with someone they shouldn't have, the entire Shrek Academy would have to pay the price.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji subtly glanced at Lan Minghua.
Lan Minghua noticed his gesture and rolled his eyes.
"If you want to watch, just watch openly. Don't act like a little girl."
"However, Old Zhao also realized the seriousness of the situation. If they really messed with someone they shouldn't have, the entire Shrek Academy would suffer."
At this moment, the hotel owner reluctantly came out: "Dear Soul Masters, please don't fight in our small shop. It's a small business, a small business..."
Ye Zhi Qiu was furious, but he hadn't lost his temper.
If he ruined Canghui Academy's reputation, he would be held responsible.
Then, the Dean of Canghui Academy, Shi Nian, wouldn't let him off the hook.
"Go outside if you dare. This small business of mine can't afford to be messed with. If you don't dare, then behave yourselves as good-for-nothings and keep your tails between your legs."
With that, Ye Zhi Qiu laughed and walked towards the door.
Ma Hong Jun and his group, who considered themselves geniuses and monsters, were instantly enraged to be called good-for-nothings.
"Old man, don't think you're so great just because you're a Soul King! You wait, I'll kill you."
Ma Hong Jun stubbornly refused to admit it, but his body didn't move an inch.
Clearly, he was afraid.
His words weren't meant for Ye Zhi Qiu and the others in the restaurant, but for Zhao Wu Ji. He
wanted to use Zhao Wu Ji to deal with Ye Zhi Qiu, the Soul King.
Lan Ming Hua looked at Ma Hong Jun with a mocking expression; how could he not see through his little scheme?
Zhao Wu Ji also looked helpless. He had wanted to intervene when Dai Mu Bai was knocked away,
but Lan Ming Hua's glare stopped him.
Outside the hotel, Ye Zhi Qiu stared mockingly at Dai Mu Bai alone.
That look in his eyes practically screamed, "You guys all seem like cowards! " He sneered
without any politeness, "Admit it! You're all useless cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. You'd better keep your tails between your legs!"
Facing Ye Zhi Qiu's taunts, Ma Hongjun ignored them, calmly eating his hot food.
Actually, he was panicking inside, wondering why Zhao Wuji hadn't come down yet.
Lan Minghua's mockery was barely concealed. "Wait, keep waiting. Anyway, Old Zhao isn't coming down. I want to see how you'll get out of this."
The people in the restaurant also started pointing and whispering about Ma Hongjun and Tang San.
Ma Hongjun, thick-skinned, could hold back, but Tang San couldn't.
In an instant, his eyes turned icy as he slowly scanned his surroundings.
"Dare to mock me as trash? You've already met your demise!"
Although he had lived two lives, he was only in his twenties or thirties combined, still young and impetuous. He
had some cunning, but not much.
Tang San cared deeply about what others thought of him.
Lan Minghua scoffed at Tang San's murderous glint in his eyes.
"Sure enough, a double standard. When others provoke him, it's a death sentence, but when he provokes others, it's perfectly justified."
He was still too naive, unlike a certain Immortal Venerable who had long since abandoned worldly views.
Tang San then stood up and confidently walked out, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun following closely behind.
After all, they were the ones who caused the trouble, and none of them could escape.
However, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing made no move, continuing to eat their food.
Ning Rongrong was indecisive, like a weather vane.
The people in the restaurant were puzzled as to why Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong didn't join in.
But they didn't mock them.
They hadn't even participated in what had just happened,
and Oscar had been ridiculed by everyone; it was already a sign of their good temper that they didn't fight amongst themselves.
On the second floor, Lan Minghua stroked his stubble, squinting at Tang San.
"So confident? Does he have created an even more powerful hidden weapon besides the Zhuge Crossbow?"
It's no wonder he thought this way, because Tang San was a snob.
He won't do things he's not sure about. From his attitude during his two returns to the Clear Sky Sect in the original novel, it's clear what
Tang San meant. At level 59, his first return: "I will bear the blame for my father's mistakes."
At level 93, his second return: "My father was not wrong; you were the ones who were wrong."
Therefore, Tang San wouldn't easily do something he wasn't confident about.
Lan Minghua also wanted to see Tang San's true trump card—what kind of hidden weapon was it?
If his strongest hidden weapon was just the Zhuge Crossbow, he could still use it as a whetstone for Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.
A good whetstone isn't easy to find.
Lan Minghua watched from outside the hotel, becoming a spectator.
Outside the hotel, Dai Mubai and his group of four couldn't gain any advantage against Ye Zhi Qiu.
Tang San's weaker hidden weapons couldn't break through Ye Zhi Qiu's defenses.
Instead, because of their incorrect judgment based on Yu Xiaogang's theory that the Xuan Turtle Martial Soul had no offensive means, they suffered a great loss.
Dai Mubai was blasted away again, this time vomiting blood.
Ma Hongjun wasn't in much better shape; he was punched in the abdomen and vomited up the food he had just eaten.
Xiao Wu also faced several close calls; had Tang San not secretly supported her, she might have been injured as well.
There were too many spectators, and Tang San couldn't find a suitable opportunity to demonstrate the Zhuge Crossbow.
After all, he understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
If others discovered that a Great Soul Master like himself could defeat a Soul King with a weapon, it would definitely attract envy.
Without the support of hidden weapons, he could only flee.
Lan Minghua was somewhat disappointed; without giving Tang San a little stimulation, he probably wouldn't be able to force him to use powerful hidden weapons.
"Old Zhao, send a telepathic message to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, telling them to also attack. Tell them this is for the reputation of Shrek Academy."
Zhao Wuji didn't ask why, directly using his soul power to telepathically instruct Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing to attack.
Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing were somewhat reluctant, but still chose to attack.
They attacked solely to protect the reputation of Shrek Academy.
Lan Minghua's intention in having them attack wasn't truly to protect Shrek's reputation, but rather to use this opportunity to force Tang San to reveal his trump card.
How to force them?
It's simple!
As long as Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing outperform Ye Zhi Qiu in their fight, Tang San will naturally be tempted to surpass them.
Then, he'll either use the Clear Sky Hammer or unleash an even more powerful hidden weapon.
Otherwise, relying solely on the two soul skills of the Blue Silver Grass, he won't be able to achieve anything remarkable.
The battle outside the hotel was nearing its end. Although Ye Zhi Qiu had the upper hand over Tang San and his companions, he still felt incredibly humiliated.
"You forced me to this! Be careful, don't die!"
Before the words were even finished, Ye Zhi Qiu's fourth soul ring lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Profound Water Vortex!"
He slammed his palms into the ground, and a massive vortex rapidly expanded from him, instantly enveloping Dai Mubai and the other three.
The immense suction pulled at them, and Tang San felt his feet sinking into the mud, unable to escape.
Without giving Tang San and his companions a chance to react, his fifth soul ring lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Profound Tortoise Earth Crack!"
Ye Zhi Qiu stomped heavily on the ground, and a crack appeared in front of Dai Mubai and the others, splashing profound water.
Immediately afterward, the splashing Xuan Water condensed into sharp ice spikes, shooting out with a sudden burst
of energy. Pulled by the vortex's suction, Tang San and the others had no chance to dodge.
At the critical moment, a layer of golden light blocked the ice spikes, clanging and clattering.
Dai Mubai, seeing Oscar standing in front of him, retorted angrily, "Hmph, I don't need your help!"
However, Oscar didn't even turn around, calmly saying, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't intervene to save you."
"Then tell me, why did you intervene?!" Dai Mubai roared, believing Oscar was humiliating him.
Oscar ignored him, saying calmly, "Just to let others know that Shrek Academy isn't just full of troublemakers like you. That's all!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai and the other three turned ashen-faced, wishing they could disappear into thin air.
They were the ones who caused the trouble, yet others had to clean up their mess.
They really were both incompetent and prone to causing trouble.
