"I'm withdrawing too," said Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong simultaneously.
Gu Yuena stood quietly beside Ao Tian, saying nothing.
"Why?" Grandmaster's expression instantly became blank.
Ao Tian, Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing could be considered peerless geniuses. Ning Rongrong was slightly less talented, but her martial soul was the incomparably precious Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. These five were extremely important to Grandmaster.
Whether Grandmaster could lead Shrek Academy to win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a year later depended heavily on these five.
If he lost these five geniuses, where could he find five more geniuses to replace them?
It was simply impossible to find five people with such monstrous talent.
Ao Tian and the others' words also shocked the rest of Shrek Academy, who couldn't believe their ears.
Tang San's mood became extremely complicated, filled with resentment. He hadn't even defeated Ao Tian yet, and now Ao Tian was leaving.
Upon hearing that Zhu Zhuqing and Ao Tian were leaving, Dai Mubai's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.
He had initially thought he still had a sliver of hope of gaining Zhu Zhuqing's forgiveness, but now, she was leaving with Ao Tian!
If Zhu Zhuqing truly intended to go with Ao Tian, he would immediately report her betrayal back to the Star Luo Empire and capture her at all costs. Even if it meant executing her, he wouldn't let Ao Tian have her.
Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée; if he couldn't have her, no one else could.
At this moment, Dai Mubai's hatred for Ao Tian had reached its peak. The hatred of being crushed to pieces, the humiliation of being whipped, and the hatred of having his wife stolen—such hatred was unbearable even for an ordinary person, let alone a prince like him.
He vowed to fight Ao Tian to the death!
Oscar and Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief. Oscar thought Ao Tian leaving was a good thing, as it meant he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed by Ao Tian as well.
Although Ma Hongjun hated Ao Tian, he also feared him. His thoughts were similar to Oscar's; he worried that if Ao Tian stayed, he would one day suffer Ao Tian's wrath again.
Faced with the Grandmaster's question, Ao Tian said, "For no reason. I told you from the beginning that I came to Shrek Academy to play, not to cultivate. Now, I'm tired of playing and want to leave, is that alright?"
Hearing Ao Tian say he was tired of playing, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun's faces turned ugly. They felt that Ao Tian's words were directed at them. A
blatant slap in the face!
"No!" Grandmaster suddenly roared, his emotions becoming extremely agitated, his face flushed red, veins bulging, and his features contorted.
His roar immediately attracted the attention of passersby on the street, and many people stopped to watch.
Gu Yuena and the other three girls had already put on veils when they came down, but their unique aura still attracted many gazes.
The usually composed and steady Grandmaster was now on the verge of collapse. Ao Tian leaving with four girls was a devastating blow.
He had been counting on these young people from Shrek Academy to fulfill his dreams.
He wanted to lead Shrek to victory in the Soul Master Competition; he wanted to become a godfather of Soul Masters, training a group of Title Douluos, even Peerless Douluos, becoming a legend in the Soul Master world; he wanted to one day stand tall, no longer humbly before Bibi Dong; he wanted to stop the Spirit Hall's atrocities against other Soul Master factions…
He had so many things he wanted to do, and only these monstrously talented young people could help him achieve his dreams.
But now, five of Shrek's nine little monsters were leaving. How could he accept this?
"Xiao Gang, don't get agitated. Let's talk this out," Flander said, trying to calm the growing crowd.
He looked at Ao Tian and said, "Ao Tian, we can find a place to sit down and talk about your departure."
The most urgent thing was to stabilize Ao Tian's position.
"No need, we're no longer Shrek Academy members." With that, Ao Tian turned and walked towards the carriage.
Gu Yuena and the other three girls followed him.
"No! You can't leave!" Grandmaster was nearly driven mad, screaming as he rushed forward, reaching for the carriage door and desperately trying to pry it open.
But the door was firmly shut; Ao Tian didn't want to open it, and who could?
The greater the expectation, the greater the blow; this immense shock was gradually driving Grandmaster to madness.
While Flander and the other teachers also felt sorry for Ao Tian's departure, they weren't as distraught as Grandmaster.
Flander sighed, wanting to go and pull Grandmaster back.
Ao Tian and his group of five were gone, but Shrek Academy could still be famous with only four students left. It was a pity Grandmaster valued them too much.
Longma snorted disdainfully and walked forward. Grandmaster, unable to open the car door, panicked. He rushed to the dragon horse, reaching for the reins to try and stop
the white horse .
If he could keep Ao Tian and the others there, he still had a chance.
"You're asking for death!" the dragon horse thought, its massive head lowering as it rammed forward.
Grandmaster, still struggling to hold the reins, was struck in the chest by the horse's head, flying like a cannonball, spraying blood in the air before crashing into the crowd.
A large number of people collapsed instantly, screams erupting.
Flander and the others were shocked and rushed over, finding Grandmaster pinned beneath the horses.
His mouth and nose were covered in blood, and he was unconscious.
How could a Great Soul Master withstand the impact of the dragon horse? Even a slight bump had severely injured him.
Flander and the others were anxious and immediately checked Grandmaster's injuries.
"His sternum is fractured, and he's bleeding internally. He needs immediate treatment," a teacher said.
"Treat him quickly," Flander said.
He stood up, looking for Ao Tian's carriage, but it was nowhere to be seen.
Tang San quickly knelt beside Grandmaster, examined him, and then used his internal energy to stop the bleeding by pressing several points on Grandmaster's body.
"Ao Tian has left," Flander said.
A group of teachers and Tang San and his students looked up; indeed, the carriage was gone.
"Ao—Tian!" Tang San gritted his teeth.
His teacher was like a father; Ao Tian's horse had injured Grandmaster so badly, which was tantamount to harming Tang San's father. How could Tang San swallow this insult!
In his view, if Ao Tian hadn't insisted on leaving, Grandmaster wouldn't have suffered this calamity.
A few minutes later, the treatment was finished. Flander picked up Grandmaster and said, "Let's not go to the Royal Academy yet; let's find a place to stay first."
"You can't leave!" A passerby, clutching his bleeding forehead, blocked Flander's path.
Flander then noticed several people around him, their heads bleeding from the earlier collision, glaring angrily at them.
"You have to pay our medical bills!"
"Don't think you're so great just because you're Soul Masters! This is Heaven Dou City; Soul Masters can't just hurt ordinary people!"
"That's right, pay up! You have to pay up! If you don't, you'll be facing legal trouble."
Seeing Flander and his group's travel-worn appearance, the injured men guessed they came from elsewhere. As residents of Heaven Dou City, they spoke with considerable bravado.
So what if they were Soul Masters? They were still responsible for harming ordinary people.
This was clearly stipulated in the Empire's laws.
This was the capital, under the Emperor's nose; unless someone had a powerful backer, even Soul Masters wouldn't dare to bully ordinary citizens.
"Dai Mubai!" Flander called out irritably.
Dai Mubai took out several silver soul coins and tossed one to each of them.
"One silver soul coin? Do you think we're beggars? This is Heaven Dou City, the prices here are incomparable to other places." One of the young men, who looked like thugs, sneered, his eyes greedily fixed on Dai Mubai.
These soul masters were being so easy to talk to; it would be a fool not to take advantage of the situation.
"Get lost!" Dai Mubai roared, his White Tiger Martial Soul instantly activating, unleashing a powerful aura.
The men immediately clutched their silver soul coins and fled in panic.
