Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 23 The Wandering Flander

When Dai Mubai saw that the other party had beaten him up but hadn't made things difficult for him, and had only caused him some minor injuries, it was clear that the other party had held back.

"Hey! Brother! I admit defeat to you, Dai Mubai. Can you tell me your name? We're both Soul Masters, we've become friends through this fight, let's get acquainted." Dai Mubai got up from the ground and shouted at Ye Liangchen.

The fact that the opponent could defeat him without even activating his martial soul, and that the opponent was even younger than him, meant he was definitely a peerless genius. As the young prince of the Star Luo Kingdom, he really wanted to befriend him. If he could bring this kid to Shrek Academy and build a good relationship with him, he might even be able to learn a few moves from him in the future.

"I already told you my name is Wuming, why are you still asking?"

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself!"

Ye Liangchen ignored Dai Mubai and walked directly to Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin.

"Little brother! You're amazing! Your sister is so proud of you."

Su Lin cheered excitedly, then, in a dramatic display, hugged Ye Liangchen and kissed him on the cheek, completely ignoring the stares of the onlookers.

"Stop fooling around, we should go back, the patrol will be here soon."

Lan Xiaodie pulled Ye Liangchen out of Su Lin's arms and quickly led him toward the street where the Rose Hotel was located.

"Senior sister! Xiao Chen performed so well! Of course I have to reward him."

Su Lin also came over and affectionately took the little guy's other hand, leaving the three scoundrels not far behind dumbfounded.

"Xiao Chen! How did you feel about the battle just now?" Lan Xiaodie asked.

"Aunt Lan! The opponent's power is also very strong after being possessed by the White Tiger Martial Soul, but it is still a little weaker than mine."

Ye Liangchen felt that Dai Mubai's strength was also quite good, and he was considered very powerful among the Great Soul Masters. However, he had encountered a cheat code like himself.

Tang San was able to fight Dai Mubai, who was level 37, when he was level 29, but he didn't have it as easy as I did.

"Senior sister, our Xiao Chen is the most amazing genius in the world, unmatched by anyone."

"Needless to say? That boy named Dai Mubai's martial soul is actually the Evil-Eyed White Tiger. It seems he must be a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family."

"Senior sister, judging from that young man's appearance, could he be a prince of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Very likely, but we don't know why he would be in Soto City?"

Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin walked and discussed Dai Mubai's matter.

Ye Liangchen knew that Dai Mubai came to Shrek Academy to escape his brother's oppression.

Dai Mubai has appeared, and the little kitten Zhu Zhuqing will also appear in three or four years. It's just unknown whether that girl will still join Shrek Academy.

After Dai Mubai and Fatty Ma were beaten up by Ye Liangchen, they recovered in no time with the help of Oscar's sausage spirit.

"Boss Dai, who is that guy? He's so handsome and so good at fighting. He didn't even activate his Martial Soul when he fought you. Could his strength be above that of a Soul Master?" Oscar was very curious about what had just happened.

"Xiao Ao, the opponent is indeed just a Great Soul Master. Judging from his appearance, he's probably only eight or nine years old. I feel that even if the three of us attacked together, we wouldn't be a match for him," Dai Mubai said calmly, recalling how terrifying it was to fight the opponent.

"Damn it, where did this kid come from? He's more of a monster than a monster. Boss Dai, are we just going to let this go?"

Fatty Ma rubbed his round belly; that punch had almost made him vomit up his dinner from the night before.

"Fatty, you still want revenge? With your meager strength, you wouldn't even be enough to fill that kid's teeth!"

Dai Mubai gave Fatty Ma a disdainful look. If this guy hadn't spoken rudely to someone else's sister, he wouldn't have gotten this beating.

"Haha...! Boss Dai, the dean said that a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble is mediocre, but you've kicked a hornet's nest today." Oscar couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the scene of his two brothers getting beaten up.

"Little Ao, you're still laughing? You should be the one getting beaten up with us."

The three of them returned to Shrek Academy with sighs all the way. Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were drinking tea and chatting on the second-floor balcony, were also shocked to see their students in such a disheveled state.

"Boss, these three kids are acting strange."

"Judging from Dai Mubai's disheveled appearance, he must have been beaten up. Let's go see who dares to beat up a student from Shrek Academy."

"Swish..."

The two got up, jumped down from a small building, and quickly came to Dai Mubai and the others to check on the three scoundrels.

"Dai Mubai, have you three little devils gone off to cause trouble again?"

Upon seeing his teacher, Fatty Ma burst into tears and complained, "Teacher, we were just beaten up."

"Who dares to hit my student, Flander's student?" Flander was immediately enraged.

"Dean, it was a little boy, about two or three years younger than me. He was only a level 23 Great Soul Master. When I fought him, I had almost no chance to fight back, and he hadn't even opened his Martial Soul yet."

"Dean, he's the real monster!"

Dai Mubai explained to Flander the whole process of how he was beaten up. The reason he told Flander was that he wanted Flander to recruit that kid to Shrek Academy. He thought that if he could get along well with the kid, he might be able to learn a few moves from him.

"Is that true? You only have level 23 soul power, and you beat me to a pulp without even using your martial soul? You're not bragging, are you?" Flander was shocked when he heard about this monster.

"Dean, Fatty and Little Ao can both testify."

"Yes! Fatty was knocked down with one punch, and Boss Dai was beaten the whole time."

Dai Mubai, Fatty Ma, and Oscar all admitted the truth, since there was nothing shameful about it in front of their own dean.

"Boss, these three brats don't seem to be lying."

"If that's really the case, then this monstrous genius absolutely must enter our Shrek Academy!"

Zhao Wuji and Flander exchanged a glance. When they encountered a monster genius of this caliber, they had to win him over.

"Dai Mubai, what does that kid look like? Is he a nobleman or a commoner? Does he have any powerful protectors?"

Flander inquired in detail with Dai Mubai, knowing that such a monstrous genius must have an extraordinary background.

"That kid is very handsome, and he has two blue-haired beauties with him, but they are masked, so we can't recognize who they are or what level of cultivation they have."

Dai Mubai slowly recounted the scene, but didn't mention a word about his intention to ask those two beauties out.

"So that's why you got beaten up. You deserved it."

Flander and Zhao Wuji knew Dai Mubai's character very well; this kid must have flirted with that beautiful woman.

"Hahaha…!"

Oscar, seeing Dai Mubai's embarrassed expression, burst into laughter.

"Boss, I remember now. This morning when Lao Li and I passed by the Rose Hotel, we saw two blue-haired, masked beauties with a little boy who looked about eight years old. It must be them."

"Let's go take a look. Maybe we can really recruit that little guy. A monster genius should grow up in our Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Flander immediately became interested and went out, heading towards the Rose Hotel. Zhao Wuji followed immediately, along with the Shrek Three Musketeers.

"Boss Dai, the Rose Hotel! Hehe..."

Upon hearing the words "Rose Hotel," Fatty Ma's eyes immediately lit up; the rooms there were the perfect place for a date!

"Fatty, can't you be a little more ambitious?" Dai Mubai was speechless at the slovenly fat man.

When Shrek and his group arrived at the lobby of the Rose Hotel, they happened to run into Ye Liangchen and his group coming down from upstairs, heading towards the hotel restaurant.

"Teacher, that's him." Fatty Ma pointed to Ye Liangchen in the distance.

"Kid, so you're the one who defeated my student?"

Flander rushed to Ye Liangchen and his group, his cunning eyes fixed on Ye Liangchen.

"Who are you, you bespectacled man?"

When Ye Liangchen saw Dai Mubai and Fatty Ma's group arrive, he knew it was Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flander, so he deliberately called him Uncle Four-Eyed.

"A bespectacled middle-aged man? Hahaha..."

Oscar and Dai Mubai burst into laughter when they heard that guy actually call their dean "Four-Eyes Uncle".

"You two brats, stop laughing." Zhao Wuji glared at the two guys, though he actually wanted to laugh too.

"Hmm! Not bad! Not bad! At only 8 years old, he's so handsome, and his strength has actually reached level 23, a Great Soul Master! He's a once-in-a-lifetime genius!"

Flander didn't mind the other party calling him "four-eyed uncle," but instead looked at Ye Liangchen with shining eyes, as if he were looking at a beautiful piece of jade.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing the bespectacled old man staring at Ye Liangchen, Su Lin immediately pulled the little guy into her arms.

When she saw that the two boys who had been beaten down by Ye Liangchen earlier had also arrived, she immediately realized that they had gone back to complain and asked their elders to come and settle scores.

Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie recognized him as Flander, one of the Golden Iron Triangle's four-eyed cat owls, and immediately stood in front of Ye Liangchen, staring coldly at Flander.

"When the younger ones can't win, the older ones come out to settle scores. You're really something, sir."

Flander immediately waved his hand: "Ladies, please don't misunderstand. I am Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy. I heard from my students that a young man beat them all down without even opening his martial soul, so I came to see for myself."

"Kid, our Shrek Academy only accepts monster geniuses, and you're a monster among monsters. Want to come to our academy?"

"I assure you, as long as you come, I will do my best to train you, and in time you will surely become famous throughout the world."

When Flander encountered a peerless genius like Ye Liangchen, he immediately extended an olive branch, hoping to recruit him to Shrek Academy.

"Four-eyed uncle, Shrek Academy? What's that?"

Ye Liangchen asked deliberately, of course he knew Shrek Academy. Wasn't it just a dilapidated academy built in a mountain village on the outskirts of Soto City? Before Tang San joined, it was nothing.

"Our Shrek Academy is a monster academy. The admission requirements for our academy are that you must reach level 21 of soul power by the age of 12, and your soul ring must be a hundred-year soul ring."

"Kid, you're only 8 years old and you're already in level 23. You've already met the admission requirements. If you come, I can waive your tuition."

"Let me tell you, without exception, all the students who graduate from our academy are renowned figures, and some of them have even become the youngest elders in the Spirit Hall."

Flander introduced Ye Liangchen to the glorious history of Shrek Academy, constantly painting a rosy picture for him.

"Flander the four-eyed owl, is it!"

"They just spout nonsense to fool children, like saying the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall is your student? At your age, aren't you ashamed to say something like that?"

"To become an elder of the Spirit Hall, one must be a Title Douluo. How could you, a mere Soul Saint at level 70, possibly train a Title Douluo? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew when you make such a boast?"

Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie couldn't stand it anymore and directly exposed Flander's mistake, instantly turning his face into a purplish-red.

"You shameless old man with glasses, you actually tried to fool an 8-year-old child like me. You don't seem like a good person."

Ye Liangchen pretended to be innocent and deliberately disgusted Flander.

"Pfft... Haha...! That four-eyed uncle is a charlatan, let's stay away from him." Su Lin laughed and quickly protected Ye Liangchen, taking a step back.

"Hahaha...!" Some guests in the hotel lobby burst into laughter when they saw Flander get the short end of the stick.

"The Dean made a fool of himself! Hahaha..." Dai Mubai and Oscar couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw their Dean make a fool of himself.

"You two brats, stop laughing." Flander felt extremely aggrieved and glared at the two boys as he turned around.

"Boss, let's go!"

Zhao Wuji chuckled sheepishly. He knew that Flander always liked to deceive people and would do anything to cheat and swindle, but today the other party was not giving him any face at all.

"Hey! Kid, release your martial soul and soul rings so I can see them..." Flander was not giving up and continued to try to fool Ye Liangchen, still wanting to investigate his martial soul.

"Flander, are you ever going to stop?"

"Don't force us to take action!"

"Chirp chirp..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie interrupted Flander and released their martial souls and soul rings. Eight soul rings, yellow, purple, black, and black, appeared on their bodies, flashing and dazzling. In an instant, the temperature in the entire hotel lobby dropped significantly.

"Soul...Contra?"

Everyone in the hotel lobby was shocked by the eight soul rings on Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie. They never expected that these two masked beauties would be so powerful.

"Level 76 Soul Saint Flander pays respects to the two Soul Douluo lords!"

When Flander saw that the other party had displayed the strength of a Contra Master, he immediately backed down, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully.

"Zhao Wuji, a level 72 Soul Saint, pays his respects to the two Soul Douluo lords."

Zhao Wuji also bowed to Flander, which was the rule in the Soul Master world. Without exception, all Soul Douluo powerhouses were top figures of major forces, and even with their Soul Saint level strength, they couldn't afford to offend them.

It's still early; Flander and Zhao Wuji's soul power hasn't reached the level Tang San and the others had when they entered Shrek Academy.

"Flander, Zhao Wuji, don't bother us."

"Teach your students well, and don't let them go astray."

After Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie withdrew their martial souls, they coldly warned Flander a few words, and then led Ye Liangchen into the most luxurious private room in the hotel restaurant.

After their humiliation, Flander and his group immediately slunk back to Shrek Academy.

"Boss, I didn't expect those two ladies to be Soul Douluo powerhouses. Judging from their soul power fluctuations, they are high-level Soul Douluos. The woman protecting the handsome young man is at least as strong as you."

Zhao Wuji chuckled sheepishly. Luckily, the other party didn't make a move, otherwise they would have been in for a beating.

"Three advanced female Soul Masters, two of whom are even Soul Douluo level experts, who could they be? Their Martial Souls look like Ice Phoenixes."

Flander was not familiar with Soul Masters who possessed the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

"Brother Dai, you even wanted to date one of the Contras before, you were really stubborn! Hahaha..." Oscar laughed out loud when he remembered Dai Mubai's previous reckless behavior.

"Hehe...! Contra beauties, I'll still accept any offer." Dai Mubai smiled smugly. Dating Contra beauties, even though they didn't pay any attention to him, was still something he could brag about for a long time.

"Ahem! Back then, those two beauties were pretending to be that kid's older sister, and that's how Boss Dai fell for it. But those two women were really pretty."

Ma Hongjun chuckled to himself. The thought of that handsome young man being held in the arms of that stunning beauty made him think to himself: How awesome would it be if I were the one being held!

"You three brats should stop causing trouble in the future. Luckily, the other party didn't bother with you kids, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Zhao Wuji sternly warned Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun that this incident was caused by these two guys, who almost ruined everything.
