"From Shrek Academy?"
Qian Renshang asked expressionlessly, the burly figure grinning maliciously.
"You actually guessed it, kid.Not bad… I'm from Shrek Academy, a level 76 Battle Soul Saint.
Everyone calls me Immovable King Zhao Wuji."
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, come back with me.
You insulted someone from Shrek Academy; you must pay the price."
"The Dean instructed that you must kneel outside my academy for ten days…"
Zhao Wuji had been tracking Qian Renshang for days, but this vast area was incredibly difficult to find.
It took him several days to pinpoint Qian Renshang's location and finally arrive.
"Ah… a Soul Saint?"
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were immediately shocked, staring dumbfounded at Zhao Wuji and Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang had actually offended a Soul Saint!
"Soul Saint, isn't there some misunderstanding here..."
Ye Lingling chuckled dryly, while Dugu Yan also stood protectively in front of Qian Renshang.
"Your Excellency, bullying the weak is going too far!"
"Oh ho... You even have two pretty girls protecting you, huh?
Kid... You're quite the ladies' man, aren't you?"
Zhao Wuji teased, arms crossed.
Qian Renshang felt a surge of warmth as he saw Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan standing in front of him.
These two girls were nice.
"Uh... I'm not his girlfriend,"
Ye Lingling explained, blushing.
Dugu Yan's face also turned red, but she didn't argue.
"This person has offended Shrek Academy... I'm going to arrest him now.
If you two want to protect him, I don't mind taking you both with me,"
Zhao Wuji continued, while Dugu Yan's eyebrows furrowed.
"You dare... If you dare lay a hand on me, my grandfather will definitely not let you off!"
Zhao Wuji sneered.
"Your grandfather?
Heh... Who are you trying to scare?
I, Zhao Wuji, have roamed the martial world for so many years, I'm not afraid of anything.
Who is your grandfather?"
"Dugu Bo!"
Dugu Yan said expressionlessly.
The next moment, Zhao Wuji's smile froze on his face.
"Du... Dugu Bo, that Poison Douluo, you're actually his granddaughter."
"Heh, you know you're scared now?
Now hurry up and leave, don't make things difficult for my friend."
Dugu Yan was a woman of strong emotions, and after spending so many days together, she now felt that Qian Renshang was a good person, a friend worth making.
Zhao Wuji's expression changed.
He didn't expect to encounter a descendant of the Poison Douluo here.
A Title Douluo was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
But... Zhao Wuji had already promised Flander.
That guy Flander had done him a favor!
"I don't care about any Poison Douluo or anything like that... I'm after this kid.
You two get out of my way right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhao Wuji said expressionlessly. Dugu Yan immediately became anxious, as did Ye Lingling.
Even the Poison Douluo couldn't control this guy.
Her family certainly couldn't either.
"Alright... Miss Ye, Miss Dugu, you two can go.
He's looking for me, it has nothing to do with you two."
Qian Renshang finally spoke up, his eyes showing no fear.
"They're my friends... please don't make things difficult for them, okay?"
"Of course, you're at least a man, knowing your mistakes and taking responsibility."
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief; he really didn't want to offend that Poison Douluo.
"Brother Gu..."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling wanted to say something, but Qian Renshang simply waved his hand.
"You two go back to the academy first.
Don't worry... I'm fine here. I'll be there soon after this trouble is over."
"Okay... alright."
Dugu Yan reluctantly agreed, then quickly left with Ye Lingling.
"Yan'er... how can you just abandon your friends like that?"
"There's nothing we can do here.
I... I'll go get my grandfather to help."
Dugu Yan said, and Ye Lingling immediately understood.
"That's right, get your grandfather. Let's run fast... maybe we can still make it."
The two quickened their pace!
On the spot!
After Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had completely left, Zhao Wuji's face instantly turned cold.
"Alright, your friend is gone... you can come back with me now."
"Don't worry, at most I'll break one of your legs, then compensate our academy for the losses and apologize... after all, your attitude in admitting your mistake seems acceptable, so I won't make things too difficult for you."
Zhao Wuji looked at Qian Renshang smugly, but Qian Renshang didn't even move a step.
He just stared at Zhao Wuji expressionlessly.
"Who told you... I was going back with you? And what did I do wrong?"
"Ha..."
Zhao Wuji laughed in anger.
"What, you think you can resist?... I'm a Soul Saint!
I admit you're impressive at such a young age, a five-ring Soul King, but... if you want to deal with me, you'd better train for a few more years!"
Zhao Wuji clenched his fist, his face fierce.
"Your Shrek Academy is truly disappointing. You beat up the young, then the old ones come; you beat up the old ones, then the even older ones come... I'm too lazy to argue with you about who's right and who's wrong!"
Qian Renshang shrugged, his pupils emitting a faint golden light, transforming into focused pupils, and his Golden Dragon King Martial Soul instantly activated.
Soul rings began to rise from beneath his feet, starting with a jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
One, two, three… until five!
Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Qian Renshang.
He knew in his heart that this young man's soul ring configuration was indeed astonishing, but so what?
He was merely a five-ring Soul King; what tricks could he possibly pull?
However, at this moment, a chilling crimson light slowly rose in the arena.
Qian Renshang's fifth soul ring suddenly began to flicker and gradually expanded outwards, eventually forming a huge and dazzling crimson one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
This terrifying crimson light and powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire arena, leaving Zhao Wuji stunned, an expression of disbelief on his face.
His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
At the same time, Qian Renshang's icy voice rang out again:
"Soul Saint?...Is that so great?"
These words seemed to carry endless mockery and contempt, causing Zhao Wuji's heart to tremble.
"You...you're actually a Soul Emperor!
And your sixth soul ring is a hundred thousand years!!!"
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened suddenly, his voice trembling.
Wasn't this kid just a five-ring Soul King a while ago?
How did he become a Soul Emperor now?
Being a Soul Emperor is one thing...but how come his sixth soul ring is a hundred thousand years?
This...this is unscientific!
Zhao Wuji instantly felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy; Qian Renshang exerted immense pressure on him.
But he knew there was no turning back now.
This guy was too talented!
He had already made an enemy...if he continued to grow stronger, he was finished.
Thinking of this, a killing intent rose in Zhao Wuji's eyes!
After all, he was only a six-ring Soul Emperor, while he was a seven-ring Soul Saint!!
