Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 53, Now It's My Shrek

The next day, Meng Bei prepared to take a few people back. He was going to hunt for his fifth spirit ring, so naturally he didn't have time to take the Shrek Academy team with him.

Meng Bei has a very clear understanding of priorities.

He himself is the master, Shrek is the servant.

Shrek absolutely cannot hinder his own efforts to improve his strength.

In his view, the only purpose of the Shrek team is to continuously trigger various missions under his leadership to improve their strength.

Therefore, when he needed to hunt for his fifth spirit ring, the Shrek Academy team naturally had to step aside.

However, just as he was about to take his men back, a richly dressed man came to his door.

"Mr. Meng Bei, I am an official under His Highness Prince Xue Xing. I have come at His Highness's invitation to invite Mr. Meng Bei and the other geniuses to the Prince's residence for a gathering."

[Ding! Side quest triggered!]

[Side Quest: The Prince Invites You to a Meeting at His Mansion; Lead the Shrek Team to the Prince's Palace and Showcase the Glory of the Shrek Team!]

[Task Difficulty: Hard]

[Quest Reward: One random 10,000-year-old Soul Bone]

"Oh, Prince Snowstar?"

Meng Bei raised an eyebrow. He had heard of this person, but he didn't seem to have any connection with him.

"I'm not going!"

Meng Bei refused outright.

A mere ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, just like the ten-year-old soul bone before, is of no use to him. Why would he bother with it?

Meng Bei turned to look at Dai Mubai.

"Brother Mu Bai, I heard that Prince Xue Xing humiliated you before, is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded immediately.

"have!"

"In that case, let's beat him up and get revenge!"

[Ding! Side quest triggered!]

[Side Quest: Humiliate the Prince, beat up Prince Snowstar's subordinates, and uphold the honor of the Shrek Academy team in the face of the Prince's subsequent retaliation.]

[Task Difficulty: Hard]

[Quest Reward: Two random 10,000-year-old Soul Bones.]

As soon as Meng Bei finished speaking, Ma Hongjun was the first to make a move.

The prince's officials' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly said:

"etc!"

However, no one listened to him at all, and Ma Hongjun fired a Phoenix Fire Line directly out.

The one who was humiliated at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was mainly Flander, and he was Flander's disciple, so he had long remembered this incident!

Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, the prince's subordinate instantly unleashed a powerful burst of soul energy, producing a dark, round shield in his hand. He easily extinguished Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Lines, and five soul rings rose from his body, revealing him to be a Soul King.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

Meng Bei, who was standing nearby, immediately fired a freezing ray, and in an instant, the round shield in the opponent's hand was frozen into a block of ice.

Even if the opponent is a Soul King, he still cannot withstand Meng Bei's attack.

"What are you standing there for? We don't need any chivalrous code when dealing with this guy, let's all gang up on him!"

Meng Bei said.

Upon hearing this, everyone unleashed their martial spirits and rushed forward.

With a kick from him and a stomp from him, Meng Beibing sealed the martial spirit of the prince's subordinate, freezing it to his hand. He was unable to resist and was quickly beaten to a miserable state.

Seeing this, Meng Bei told everyone to stop.

"Alright, let's not kill anyone, let's go."

The group then returned to Blue Tyrant Academy.

Meanwhile, at Prince Xuexing's residence, Prince Xuexing waited for a long time, but his subordinates still did not return. Even an old man in a gray robe beside him was getting impatient.

"I'll go by myself!"

"That's what the old man in the gray robe said."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing quickly stopped him.

"No, don't be impulsive, wait a bit longer. I heard this kid has connections with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we'd better not act rashly."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed elder thought of the Seven Kill Sword, the most lethal weapon on the continent, and finally stopped in his tracks.

The two waited for a while longer before finally receiving news.

The subordinate official limped in, then buried his face in his hands and wept with Prince Xuexing.

"Your Highness, that Meng Bei is being unreasonable. He started attacking right away, and a whole group of him attacked at once..."

After a bout of weeping and complaining, Prince Xuexing felt ashamed.

He waved his hand, ordering his men to take the injured officials away for treatment, while he was already plotting how to take revenge on Meng Bei.

Seeing this, the old man in the gray robe said nothing and walked straight out.

Seeing this, Prince Xuexing stopped the gray-robed old man again.

"No, I have another way!"

The old man in the gray robe looked impatient upon seeing this.

"Why bother thinking of any other way? I'll just go and capture him and take him back to my mountain. With the protective array on my mountain, I'm not afraid even if Sword Douluo comes!"

Prince Xuexing shook his head.

"But we can't make too much of a fuss. Let me lure that kid out first, so I can get my revenge!"

The details of Prince Xuexing's conspiracy are still unclear.

Not long after Meng Bei returned to Blue Tyrant Academy, Flander came to his door in person.

Upon meeting, Flanders immediately questioned him sternly:

"Xiao Bei, what do you mean? Are you trying to sideline me as the dean?"

Meng Bei nodded: "Yes."

"You!" Flander's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Meng Bei to admit it so readily, which infuriated him. "You're dreaming!"

Flanders roared:

"Shrek Academy is the culmination of my life's work. Every member's training, fighting, and development are all part of a plan I personally devised. I am the primary person responsible, not you!"

Meng Bei shook his head and said:

"Yes, but that was before. Now I am the one primarily responsible."

"That's impossible!"

Flander stood up excitedly, slammed his hand on the table, and declared, "I will not give Shrek Academy to anyone! I would rather take my students back to Soto than let you have it!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei secretly shook his head. The Shrek team was an important tool for him to complete missions, and he would never let Flander interfere.

Moreover, to be honest, Meng Bei believed that the Shrek team was no longer under Flander's control. Even if Flander returned to Soto City in a fit of anger, not many members of the Shrek team would follow him.

Of course, we still have to give this former dean face, after all, he is a Soul Saint.

Meng Bei then got up and placed his hands on Flander's shoulders, trying to soothe him into sitting down.

"Alright, Dean Fu, listen to me, don't get agitated!"

Meng Bei spoke softly.

However, Flander remained stubbornly unmoved.

Meng Bei then increased his strength, and Flander was shocked to find that he was no match for Meng Bei in terms of physical strength alone. This greatly shocked him, and he even secretly used his soul power to avoid being suppressed by Meng Bei.

Seeing that Flander remained stubbornly unmoved, Meng Bei didn't press the matter. He simply sat down and softly began to speak:

"Dean Fu, do you know that you are ruining Shrek's future? The Shrek team is clearly much stronger in my hands than in yours."

These words seemed to have struck a nerve with Flanders.

He immediately said with immense excitement:

"Xiao Bei, what do you mean? Are you saying your teaching skills are better than mine?"

Meng Bei nodded and said bluntly, "That's right!"

Flander was furious. "You're talking nonsense! My former students..."

"alright!"

Meng Bei interrupted Flander and said:

"A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories. Since Dean Fu is unconvinced, how about we have a contest..."
