Chapter 125 Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocre (Part 2)

The scorching air swirled around the fat man's body. Although he was much shorter than the Canghui students opposite him, his aura completely changed after the purple flames were released from his body. Combined with Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul, he suppressed his opponents, making them feel like they couldn't breathe.

Only Tang San's martial soul remained relatively calm. Two yellow halos, similar to Ma Hongjun's, rose from beneath his feet, and dense Blue Silver Grass was quietly released, surrounding his body and slowly spreading.

There was no need to lift a finger. After Dai Mubai released three spirit rings, the five Canghui Academy students opposite him were completely exhausted. They understood all too well how much difference there was in strength between those who had only one spirit ring. Moreover, this person's third spirit ring was at the thousand-year level, which was far beyond their ability to contend with.

What made the students of Canghui Academy feel extremely unbalanced was that these teenagers in front of them looked much younger than them, but the strength they displayed was already above theirs.

"Stop!" The teacher from Canghui Academy finally stepped forward and waved to his students, "All of you, step back."

The students felt resentful, and the teacher was truly shocked. He clearly realized that the three teenagers before him, whether the slightly older one in the middle or the two on either side who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, were all geniuses among geniuses. Especially the one in the middle, who looked no more than seventeen years old, yet already possessed three spirit rings and reached the Spirit Master realm—something he had never heard of before, especially that thousand-year spirit ring, which was so dazzling to his eyes.

This teacher, being middle-aged, had already considered many possibilities as he watched Dai Mubai unleash his true power. He knew his students wouldn't stand a chance, and even if they could, he wouldn't let them fight again. Some troubles were better left unprovoked.

"I am Ye Zhiqi, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department of Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Seeing Ye Zhi Qiu walk up to the three of them and withstand the pressure of their released soul power without using his martial soul, Dai Mubai was secretly alarmed. He was certain that this middle-aged man's soul power was far superior to his own.

"We're from Shrek Academy." Before Dai Mubai could even speak, the fat man said smugly. As he spoke, his naked gaze lingered on the only female student from Canghui Academy.

Ye Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Clearly, he wasn't very familiar with the name Shrek Academy. "Shrek Academy? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, "That's because you're ignorant."

Upon hearing that the other party was not a disciple of any sect, Ye Zhi Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat powerless.

He had always believed that the students of Canghui Academy were already quite outstanding. This time, he was preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to help a student obtain her third spirit ring for level 30 advancement. That student was the girl who hadn't shown up before.

But the group of teenagers in front of him greatly stimulated him.

Ye Zhi Qiu understood that these three teenagers in front of him were indeed qualified to look down on Canghui Academy.

But how did they cultivate such strong soul power at such a young age?

They're practically little monsters.

Of course, although they were shocked by the opponent's strength, if they backed down, Canghui Academy would lose face in front of so many diners.

If the students aren't up to par, I at least need to salvage some face for Canghui Academy.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhi Qiu no longer hesitated. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he released his martial soul, "Mystic Turtle, Possess."

Beast martial spirit, black turtle.

A ring of black ripples emanated from Ye Zhi Qiu's body, forcefully suppressing the auras of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the Fatty. His limbs simultaneously retracted by a third, while a massive armor plate bulged on his back. His entire body shimmered with black light, and five spirit rings rose from his feet, swirling around his body. One spirit ring was white, two were yellow, and two were purple—this director of the Canghui Academy's foreign affairs department was actually a Soul King level expert above level 50.

Although Ye Zhi Qiu's spirit rings were not particularly strong among those of the same level, his spirit power of over fifty levels was enough to suppress Shrek Academy's side.

A gasp of astonishment filled the restaurant. After all, Soul Kings were rare Soul Masters on the continent, possessing formidable strength. In some kingdoms, they could even hold the titles of Viscount or Earl.

Dai Mubai's expression changed, and his gaze drifted to Tang San beside him. Tang San met his eye and naturally understood his meaning. He slowly nodded to him, then gently raised his hands and touched the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges.

Against an opponent whose soul power is significantly higher than one's own, the only option seems to be using hidden weapons. The goal is to strike with deadly accuracy. After all, the opponent is not the Zhao Wuji of the past, and may not show any mercy.

Ye Zhi Qiu's words were very well said: "You kids are ignorant and shouldn't talk nonsense in the future. Call your teachers out."

The fat man yelled, "You old bastard, you think you can see our teacher? The few of us are enough to take you down."

"Gentlemen, esteemed Soul Masters, please, please don't fight in this small shop! It's a small business, a small business..." The shop owner had no choice but to run out. If he didn't stop them, the entire shop would probably be swept away by the storm.

Ye Zhi Qiu possesses the Xuan Turtle Martial Soul, and the word "turtle" is the most taboo thing in his life.

He originally just wanted to scare the few teenagers in front of him, after all, he didn't want to be accused of bullying the weak, and besides, he didn't know the strength of the academy behind these kids.

But the fat man had violated his taboo, and Ye Zhi Qiu was furious. He laughed in anger, "Fine, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher. Let's go outside." After saying that, he turned around and walked outside. The way the black tortoise shell on his back swayed looked a bit funny, but the soul power he released was quite powerful.

The students of Canghui Academy followed Ye Zhi Qiu out of the hotel. Dai Mubai whispered to Tang San, "This old guy is over level 50, and his martial soul, the Xuan Turtle, is a pretty good beast martial soul. Be careful later. I'll hold off his attacks from the front, and you need to be quick. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long."

Tang San said, "We're not necessarily going to lose. Although his soul power is stronger than ours, his martial soul has a flaw."

At this moment, the others had also gathered around and happened to hear Tang San's words.

Tang San said, "His martial soul is a Xuan Turtle. I'm certain he's a defensive-type battle soul master. Most of his active and passive skills are likely for defense. Therefore, although his martial soul is much stronger than ours, he doesn't pose much of an offensive threat to us. High soul power without suitable offensive methods—what threat can he pose? So, I suggest two methods to deal with him."

Tang San, being Grandmaster's disciple, knew far more about the theoretical knowledge of martial spirits than others. He made many judgments simply by looking at Ye Zhi Qiu's martial spirit.

"The first method is to use our own speed to outmaneuver him. After all, he is our teacher, and his soul power is much higher than ours, so he naturally won't limit the number of people we can send out. Therefore, I suggest that Mu Bai, Zhu Zhuqing, and I complete this task, because the three of us are the fastest."

"While engaging him, we must maintain maximum speed and ensure his attacks don't hit us. Then, we should look for an opportunity to find his weakness and attack. However, the Xuan Turtle's defense is very strong, and we may not be able to successfully attack him. Due to the protection of its shell, my Blue Silver Grass spikes and poison probably won't have much effect on him. Therefore, I recommend the second method."

"Similar to the first method, the three of us will still hold him off. The Xuan Turtle belongs to water, which is exactly the opposite of Fatty's Phoenix Flame. Water can overcome fire, and fire can overcome water. Fatty's flames are also quite unique. You will launch attacks on him from the outside. With Oscar's sausages supporting you, your attack duration will not be a problem. Our goal is to wear him down. Xiao Wu, you will be in charge of providing backup. The three of us in front will take turns replacing each other, so everyone can get supplies from Oscar. Although our soul power is not as strong as his, we have Oscar and the advantage of numbers, so we can take advantage of the fact that he doesn't have enough threatening attack methods."

After hearing Tang San's suggestion, everyone applauded, but one person was unhappy.

"Tang San, what about me?" Ning Rongrong frowned slightly and stared at Tang San.

Tang San paused for a moment. The reason he hadn't included Ning Rongrong in the lineup was because, after witnessing her fiery temper, he feared she might have a negative impact. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your martial soul is special, so just adapt to the situation."

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, feeling the strange looks from the others, and secretly hardened her resolve. She knew she seemed to have been excluded from this group, a feeling that was extremely unpleasant for her.
