Tang San, who happened to be sitting next to Dai Mubai and glancing sideways at the group from Canghui Academy,
naturally saw their actions.
He simply reached out and snatched the dish from the waiter's hand.
With a smile, he placed it in front of Ma Hongjun without any hesitation.
"Fatty, your food's here!"
Dai Mubai's expression turned cold, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips.
While the young man was making his move, another person from Canghui Academy had already stood up, pretending to help the waiter.
However, he secretly kicked out, trying to knock Dai Mubai's chair away.
Dai Mubai's bandaged right hand had already begun to secretly gather soul power.
He also lowered his body to stabilize himself.
He was already holding back a lot of anger, and he wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to vent!
Bang!
A muffled thud.
The young man's body stiffened, and his face turned ugly.
It was as if he had kicked a tree; his entire leg went numb.
"You're courting death!"
Dai Mubai coldly shouted, his already pent-up anger exploding in an instant.
Clenching his fist, he swiftly turned around, unleashing a terrifying punch towards the chest of the fairly tall young man.
Not good!
The young man's expression changed drastically; he tried to raise his hand to block, but it was too late.
Bang!
Dai Mubai's fist slammed solidly into his chest.
The young man was sent flying backward, crashing onto the dining table of the Canghui Academy group.
The Canghui Academy members quickly caught him, and the middle-aged man who was leading them also stood up.
His face was a mixture of shock and anger.
"Pfft!"
The young man lying on the table coughed up blood, looking much weaker.
"Sorry, I misjudged!"
Dai Mubai was completely unfazed, spreading his hands, his face showing innocence, but more so, mockery and disdain.
"I didn't expect him to be so weak! Haha!"
"Kid! Which academy are you from?" The leader of the Canghui Academy glared at Dai Mubai.
"I already said, you're not worthy to know!"
As Dai Mubai's words fell,
the surrounding diners stood up one after another, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Their eyes were also filled with excitement, after all, they might be able to watch a free group battle.
"Crunch, crunch." Ma Hongjun next to him was also eating his food casually, not taking Canghui Academy seriously at all.
"The food in this restaurant is pretty good!"
"You guys are really arrogant, all of you, go and teach them a lesson!" The middle-aged man leading the group had a dark face and waved his hand to order his students to fight back.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu jumped up and put one of her little feet directly on the table.
"Great! There's going to be a fight!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu's displeased nasal voice came from the side.
"Uh-huh. Xiao Qiu~"
After being glared at by Ye Qiu, she could only sit down reluctantly, clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Pfft hahaha!" Ning Rongrong giggled and wiped the table in front of her clean.
Aside from the person injured by Dai Mubai, who was level 27, and the only female student, who had just broken through to level 30,
the other five were all below level 25.
After they activated their Martial Souls, their Soul Rings were uniformly one white and one yellow.
This made Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun burst out laughing.
"Haha... Is this what they call an advanced Soul Master academy? This fatso, Tang San... let's activate our Martial Souls!"
Their disdain intensified.
Dai Mubai's muscles bulged, and three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—floated beneath his feet.
His right arm, wrapped in bandages, was completely asymmetrical compared to his left.
Clenching his fist, Dai Mubai glanced back at Ye Qiu and the others who were watching the spectacle with a hint of killing intent.
"Phoenix Possession!"
Tang San and Ma Hongjun also summoned their Martial Souls.
Blue Silver Grass swayed around Tang San, and two chicken wings hung from the fat man's arm, looking somewhat comical.
"A Soul Master!"
The leader of Canghui Academy's team narrowed his eyes, looking at the youthful faces of Dai Mubai and his group, somewhat shocked.
Whose subordinates were these?!
He thought his students were already quite excellent, but now, compared to them, the others were simply monsters!
The five members of Canghui Academy, seeing the Soul Ring configuration of Dai Mubai and his group, also considered retreating.
Before their leader could even recover and tell them to go back
, with a single command from Dai Mubai, they were all dealt with!
"Little San! Fatty!"
Dai Mubai didn't care about anything else; he needed to vent his anger!
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
Tang San understood immediately, his first Soul Ring flashed, and many Blue Silver Grasses appeared out of thin air in the restaurant.
They directly bound the five men.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai didn't want to cause any deaths, so they didn't use Soul Skills, but instead quickly stepped forward and punched each of them several times.
"Stop! All of you, stop!"
The Canghui team leader, hearing the chorus of screams, immediately unleashed a powerful aura.
He stood in front of the five, forcing Dai Mubai and his group back.
"You all step back!"
Looking at his students' bruised and swollen faces, his expression darkened.
He looked at Dai Mubai and his group with a serious expression, wanting to know their background.
"I am Ye Zhi Qiu, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department of Canghui Academy. May I ask, which academy do you belong to?"
"Soul King!" Dai Mubai's heart tightened; he hadn't expected there to be a powerful expert on the other side!
"We are from Shrek Academy!"
...
"Ye Zhi Qiu? Ye Qiu, his name sounds a bit like yours!"
Ning Rongrong, biting her chopsticks, suddenly turned her gaze to Ye Qiu, who had been watching the show.
Ye Qiu, however, had no time to pay her any attention.
His eyes were fixed on every direction.
Secretly, he had already activated his Sharingan, only concealing it with Life Mimicry to appear normal.
"Xiao Qiu~ What's wrong?" Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve, thinking she had upset him.
"Nothing, I'm looking for someone!" Ye Qiu grasped her hand and shook his head slightly.
"Looking for someone?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was adding food to his plate, looked at him strangely.
Although she knew Ye Qiu's martial soul could see through things, he clearly hadn't activated it yet.
'He's nearby!'
His grip on Xiao Wu's soft hand tightened suddenly.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
He quickly averted his gaze, just in case.
...
While Ye Qiu was searching for someone...
Due to the shop owner's pleas, their battleground had shifted to outside the inn.
Oscar hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
Mainly because the view was clearer from outside.
"Hurry up and eat, then go upstairs to rest!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's eager eyes,
Ye Qiu helplessly took a carrot from his Divine Might Space and fed it to her.
Outside, Ye Zhi Qiu had already assumed a fighting stance, arms crossed.
"I'll give you another chance; it's not too late to admit your mistakes."
Dai Mubai smiled wickedly.
"Mistake? What's wrong? What's right? Might makes right."
"Hmph! Young people who don't know their place!"
At this point, for the sake of his Canghui Academy's reputation, he had no choice but to take action!
Anger appeared on his face, and he roared,
"Come at me all at once! I'll teach you a lesson on how to behave."
Then he stretched out his hand and beckoned to Tang San and the other two.
"Let you make the first move!"
"Haha! Remember, we're not human, we're monsters!"
Ma Hongjun flapped his scruffy wings a couple of times, a smug look on his face.
His lewd eyes also darted towards the only female student on the opposing team.
Before he could finish speaking, Dai Mubai's second spirit ring lit up.
Second spirit skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!
A milky-white beam of light shot from his mouth directly towards Ye Zhiqiu's chest.
Tang San followed closely behind, his first spirit ring flashing.
A thick patch of Blue Silver Grass sprouted beneath Ye Zhiqiu's feet.
"Well done!"
Ye Zhiqiu shouted coldly.
Five spirit rings immediately rose beneath his feet: one white, two yellow, and two purple.
Facing the attacks of the two, his first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously.
First spirit skill, Xuan Turtle Protection!
Second spirit skill, Xuan Water Ice Seal!
A Xuan Turtle spun half a circle behind him.
Then a turtle shell enveloped his body.
He turned his back, using his turtle shell to meet Dai Mubai's spirit skill.
A black light, flowing like water, spread out around him, carrying a chilling aura.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass visibly frosted over, slowing down considerably.
When it approached and touched Ye Zhi Qiu's tortoise shell, it quickly shattered into pieces.
Bang! Dai Mu Bai's attack also landed on his tortoise shell, and Ye Zhi Qiu's body didn't even tremble slightly.
Ma Hong Jun's movements were much slower,
but he wasn't going to fall behind.
A Phoenix Fire Line shot directly at Ye Zhi Qiu from his mouth.
His evil fire was extraordinary, dispelling much of the surrounding cold and emitting puffs of white smoke.
Feeling a heat coming from behind, Ye Zhi Qiu hurriedly dodged.
His first soul skill was, after all, white.
Facing the fat man's flames, he was somewhat powerless.
"Haha. You old turtle, why aren't you hiding your head?!"
"You're courting death!"
Ma Hong Jun's address had touched his sore spot. He hated nothing more than being called a turtle!
Let alone an old turtle!
While Ma Hongjun was arguing, Tang San and Dai Mubai rushed forward.
Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
Dai Mubai's muscles bulged again, and he raised his fist to strike Ye Zhi Qiu.
Tang San also used his Entangling Soul Skill again to disrupt Dai Mubai's vision and movements.
His hand was already on the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.
"Hmph! Third Soul Skill, Profound Water Surge!"
Ye Zhi Qiu snorted coldly, opening his mouth to exhale wisps of black, icy air at Dai Mubai.
The chill emanating from his body also spread through the Blue Silver Grass.
Frost slowly rose on Dai Mubai's injured right hand, and he trembled slightly.
At this moment, Fatty's Phoenix Fire Line arrived and actually blocked Dai Mubai's soul skill.
Dai Mubai immediately tried to retreat.
Swish!
Several cold lights attacked him; Tang San had already begun using hidden weapons!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Profound Tortoise Earth Shake!"
"Not good! Boss Dai, Fatty, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that the opponent had already used the fourth soul skill, Tang San sensed something was wrong and quickly called for the two to retreat.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out.
Suddenly, a giant black tortoise appeared on Ye Zhi Qiu's body, then slammed heavily into the ground.
Invisible waves radiated outwards, the terrifying impact catching Dai Mu Bai, who was closest to him, completely off guard.
The blow to his chest sent a trickle of blood from his lips, and he was sent flying backwards.
Tang San's hidden weapon was also ineffective, being blasted away in mid-air.
His face paled, and like Fatty, he was thrown back considerably.
Even Ye Qiu, sitting in the inn, could feel the ground tremble.
*Thud thud thud!
* Dai Mu Bai staggered a couple of times, clutching his chest, barely managing not to fall.
"Come on!" Ye Zhi Qiu smiled smugly.
Tang San drew his Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, about to attack again, when
Zhao Wuji came down from upstairs.
"What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
He had been observing from upstairs, and seeing Dai Mu Bai and the others at a disadvantage, he came out.
"You're their teacher?"
Ye Zhi Qiu, still wearing the tortoise shell, poked his head out.
"Go back, all of you!" Zhao Wuji ignored them and directly ordered Dai Mubai and the others to return.
...
Inside the inn, seeing that Zhao Wuji had appeared, Ye Qiu decided not to watch any longer.
He had originally considered whether to trick Tang San
, but in order not to ruin tomorrow's itinerary, he refrained from doing so.
"Alright, there's nothing more to see! Let's go upstairs after we finish eating!"
"Okay!"
The three girls nodded in tacit agreement, got up, and followed Ye Qiu's movements, heading towards the guest rooms upstairs.
"Stop!"
A shout stopped Ye Qiu and the others.
Ye Qiu turned around, not expecting Ye Zhi Qiu to be so weak, being swatted away so quickly.
"Teacher Zhao, is there something you need?"
Ye Qiu still didn't speak. Zhu Zhuqing was cold-hearted outside, and Xiao Wu didn't understand much.
Therefore, Ning Rongrong became the three's mouth-swallowing agent.
Behind Zhao Wuji, Tang San and the others were all pale-faced, with Dai Mubai even more so.
"Why didn't you all attack together just now?"
"I was just supporting him. We were planning to catch him off guard, but before we even got a chance..."
Ning Rongrong chuckled lightly, not taking the matter to heart at all.
Seeing Zhao Wuji turn his gaze to her, Zhu Zhuqing also expressed her opinion.
"I just think that a mere, commonplace Soul Venerable cultivation level has no right to cause trouble!"
"What did you say!?"
Zhu Zhuqing's words made Dai Mubai's expression change, glaring angrily at the woman standing on the stairs, looking down at him.
This was clearly directed at him!
"Just stating the facts, haven't your fates already proven me right?"
Dai Mubai's face was grim.
Tang San beside him also clenched his fists, his eyes filled with killing intent.
On the steps.
Xiao Wu, who hadn't spoken, was now flushed, her earlobes dripping blood.
Ye Qiu was whispering in her ear that he would come to see her that night.
Her reason for not attacking was simple: of all people, Ye Qiu was the most important.
If Ye Qiu wouldn't allow it, she definitely wouldn't do it.
"Hmph! Even if you have a thousand reasons, you must remember, you are a team!"
Zhao Wuji looked at the two still whispering sweet nothings, veins bulging on his forehead.
Seeing no one respond, he could only continue with a dark face.
"You... this is the last time, disperse! Oscar, get some sausages for Mu Bai and the others!"
"Understood! Teacher Zhao."
In the inn, the group from Canghui Academy was also about to leave.
Ye Qiu frowned, feeling someone was watching him, and looked towards the door.
It turned out to be the female student from the Canghui Academy group.
With just one glance, she blushed and looked away.
"Ye Qiu! Don't look around!" Ning Rongrong poked his waist, her almond-shaped eyes glaring.
"What do you mean I'm looking around? Let's go." Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, took her hand, and continued upstairs.
Dai Mu Bai and the others ordered another table of food
...
The three girls' room was right next to Ye Qiu's.
In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed, scanning the surroundings.
When he saw his target, Ye Qiu slowly lay down again. Ye Qiu
closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Only after the moon rose did he stand up.
His figure passed directly through the wall and entered the next room.
"..."
As soon as Ye Qiu arrived, his eyes fell upon slender branches laden with fruit.
The bright white full moon came into view.
Her nose felt hot, her pale face flushed, and she couldn't look away for a moment.
Zhu Zhuqing was actually changing clothes.
The two looked at each other, and Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.
"Ye... Ye Qiu?!"
she exclaimed in a panic, clutching her clothes in front of her.
Her face was flushed.
"Why are you here?"
"Huh? Zhuqing... what are you talking about?" Ning Rongrong, who had been lying on the bed, sat up abruptly, looking at her strangely.
Following her gaze, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Ye Qiu!"
She ran barefoot towards Ye Qiu
, throwing herself into his arms, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
"Oh, you! Did you come here to peek on purpose?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I came to find Xiao Wu!" Ye Qiu scratched his head, turning away embarrassedly.
"Find Xiao Wu? Why not me? What she can do, I can do too!"
Ning Rongrong looked at him with a lingering gaze, squirming in Ye Qiu's arms.
"Stop fooling around! I just wanted to take her home," he said, playfully slapping her pert bottom.
Ning Rongrong stopped, a shy smile on her face.
"Xiao Wu is still taking a bath inside. Come sit down for a while!" Zhu Zhuqing quickly got dressed, her face flushed as she sat on the bed.
"Okay!" Ye Qiu obediently sat down on the bed, the two girls on either side of him.
"Um... I didn't mean to!"
"Okay! It's alright." Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head, her arms already wrapped around Ye Qiu's arms, her presence quite imposing.
Leaning on Ye Qiu's shoulder, she didn't care about what had just happened.
After all, she had no secrets from him anymore.
"Why do you suddenly want to take Xiao Wu home?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him curiously, as did Ning Rongrong.
"Yeah! By the way, where does Xiao Wu live?"
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, grabbing Ning Rongrong's wandering hand and giving her a disapproving look.
He still didn't plan to tell them now.
He took their hands.
"After this Soul Hunt is over, I'll have Xiao Wu tell you herself!"
"What? So mysterious!"
"Hmm!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions and quietly leaned against him.
When Ye Qiu's cheeks were glistening with tears,
Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiao Qiu~!"
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and a naked figure leaped up and threw herself at Ye Qiu.
Thud!
"Ah! Xiao Wu~ Why didn't you dry yourself off!"
Amid Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's exclamations,
Ye Qiu was immediately pinned down by Xiao Wu.
"Hehe~ Sorry, Zhuqing, you can sleep in my bed first!"
Xiao Wu already knew Ye Qiu was coming from inside, so she came out rather impatiently.
"Xiao Qiu~"
"Cough cough~ Can you... can you put your clothes on first? I'll take you home later!"
Ye Qiu blushed slightly under Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's gaze. How could this guy be so shameless?
"Okay!" Xiao Wu lay on top of Ye Qiu, her crimson eyes filled with affection.
She had already heard his conversation with Zhu Qing.
Therefore, they weren't surprised.
"Da Ming and Er Ming will definitely like you! *kiss*"
"Ah! Rongrong, what are you doing!?"
Xiao Wu, who had just pouted, wanting a kiss, suddenly realized she was slowly moving away from Ye Qiu.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were holding her arms, pulling her up.
"Put your clothes on first, you still have one night! This is ours!"
"Rongrong is right!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing blushed and tossed the still-throwing Xiao Wu aside.
Then they lay down on either side of Ye Qiu again…
