Douro Continent

Chapter 97 Oscar's Big and Small Sausages (Part 5)

In a flash, another person appeared beside Zhao Wuji. As soon as this person appeared, the expression on Zhao Wuji's face relaxed a little. "Boss, this senior..."

The newcomer waved to Zhao Wuji, signaling him not to speak. Faced with this invisible pressure, the newcomer had no choice but to release his martial spirit.

A pair of enormous wings unfurled from his back, his entire body was covered in feathers, his orange-yellow eyes had vertical pupils, and seven spirit rings of the same color as Zhao Wuji suddenly appeared, pulsating around his body.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Haotian." This person not only showed no intention of making a move, but instead respectfully bowed to the man in black.

Zhao Wuji gasped, finally realizing who this person was after hearing his companion's words. His heart clenched; heavens, when had he offended this terrifying individual? This man was none other than a Title Douluo, hailed as the strongest in the Soul Master world. Their Martial Soul development paths were exactly the same, yet Zhao Wuji's power was but a firefly's insignificance compared to his.

The man in black said coldly, "No need for formalities. I'm here to cause trouble. Cat-Owl Martial Soul, level 78. No wonder you were Flander, the main fighter in the Golden Iron Triangle. This Shrek Academy is yours, isn't it?"

Flanders nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I wonder what Zhao Wuji has done to offend Your Majesty? Could you please grant me some face?"

The man in black said indifferently, "Enough nonsense, stand aside. Otherwise, I'll beat you up too. Zhao Wuji, I'll give you a chance. I won't use my martial spirit. If you can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll leave without a word. Otherwise, you must do something for me."

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty Haotian, I really don't understand what I did to offend you. Could you please explain yourself first?" His meaning was clear: even if I die, I want to die knowing why.

However, Flander, who was standing next to Zhao Wuji, immediately stepped aside without any sense of loyalty, clearly indicating that he had no intention of caring about Zhao Wuji anymore.

The man in black snorted coldly, "Do I need to say it? If the younger one is beaten, the older one will naturally stand up and demand justice. It's a matter of course. Let's do it."

The enormous artifact in the black-clad man's hand and the nine spirit rings on his body disappeared simultaneously, but the next moment, he was already standing in front of Zhao Wuji.

Bang, boom, ah—

The sounds of collisions, the surging of energy, muffled groans, and screams echoed through the woods.

Flander, who was standing to the side with his wings outstretched, couldn't help but cover his eyes and turn his head away, unable to bear to look any longer.

There was no need to light an incense stick; the entire battle was over in just ten breaths.

The man in black stood with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened; his black robes were perfectly smooth, without even a wrinkle. Poor Zhao Wuji, however, lay sprawled on the ground, his head swollen shut, his eyes blackened. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth as he gasped for breath.

"Zhao Wuji, do you understand?" the man in black said calmly.

Only then did Flander dare to come over and help Zhao Wuji, who was lying on the ground, up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuji's face was full of gratitude. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty Haotian."

The man in black nodded to the two of them, his lips moving as he whispered something.

Zhao Wuji and Flander nodded simultaneously, their faces showing serious expressions.

"Consider what I did earlier as compensation. I'll be relying on you from now on." The man in black's voice was no longer cold, but remained calm. Behind the black mask, a faint warmth flickered in his deep eyes. After saying this last sentence, he vanished in a flash.

Zhao Wuji stood there, and neither he nor Flander moved for a long time. He could only stand steadily with Flander's support.

"Flander, you're really disloyal. You just stand on one side when someone tells you to? If His Majesty hadn't meant no harm, my corpse would probably be cold by now," Zhao Wuji complained.

At this moment, both of their martial spirits were withdrawn. Standing next to Zhao Wuji was a tall, elderly man who spoke with a slight lisp. If Tang San and Xiao Wu were here, they would definitely recognize this old man as the cunning shopkeeper who had bought the hair crystal for two hundred gold soul coins that day.

Flander retorted irritably, "What do you know? If he really meant us harm, wouldn't we have survived if I were included? Haven't you heard of his reputation? He dared to fight even the Pope, what would he have to fear? He already said that if you win, he'll let you do something for him, so he won't really hurt you. Otherwise, how would you do something for him? You don't even understand this. It's just that I didn't expect him to be..."

Zhao Wuji smiled wryly, "How could I not see what you meant? You didn't want to provoke him. But I was beaten so badly, can't I even complain a little? However, his power is truly terrifying. Even without my Martial Soul, I'm still far from being his match. I think his Soul Power has probably exceeded level ninety-five. He's very, very close to level one hundred in the Dou Tian realm. I'm afraid there are very few people on the entire continent who can contend with him."

Flander said, "Which Title Douluo is easy to mess with? You were lucky this time. Let's go back. Although you had a tough day, receiving his guidance, as someone with the same type of soul power, will still be very beneficial to you."

Night had fallen, and none of the students at Shrek Academy knew that so much had happened on this seemingly peaceful night. As for Zhao Wuji's face, which had been swollen like a pig's head, it wouldn't be able to recover so quickly this time.
