Chapter 67: Facing the Shrek Seven Alone
"It's you again. What, didn't you learn your lesson last time?"
Xiao Yu glanced indifferently at Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu at the forefront. "Or do you think having a few more helpers will let you flaunt your power in front of me?"
Dai Mubai shouted angrily, "Don't be so arrogant! The humiliation you brought upon me that day, I will repay you for every bit today!"
"Your so-called revenge involves bringing a large group to bully one person?"
Xiao Yu sneered, staring directly at Dai Mubai. "I was right about you; you are a complete coward!"
"You..."
Dai Mubai was at a loss for words, and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes noticeably wavered at the word "coward." She knew Dai Mubai was a coward, but the chains of fate had already bound her to him. Even if he was useless, she could only follow him.
The altruistic God King Tang, seeing Dai Mubai being rebuked, immediately spoke up, "The students of Shrek Academy are a unit. We help each other in times of difficulty, so it can't be considered bullying!"
"If you want to be shameless, be shameless. But why do you need these grandiose excuses? If you ever shed this hypocritical facade, I might even look up to you!"
Xiao Yu brushed off his clothes, flicking away a speck of dust, and started to walk out. "If you want to fight, let's do it outside. Don't ruin this place. With your character, I doubt you'd consider paying for damages."
The Shrek Seven trailed behind. After all, in a team fight, they needed to discuss tactics.
"Xiao San, how should we fight?"
As the moment approached, Dai Mubai's fear of the previous beating resurfaced, making him hesitant again. This made Zhu Zhuqing even more despondent.
Our great God King Tang was quite confident. "Boss Dai, don't worry. At his age, at most, he's a Soul Elder. With Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda supporting you, your soul power can reach the Soul Elder level. Plus, your White Tiger Martial Soul is a top-tier beast martial soul. Facing him head-on, you might not lose."
Encouraged by Tang San, Dai Mubai's previous worries vanished. He looked smugly at Ning Rongrong. "That's right, with the world's best support martial soul here, let's see how arrogant that kid can be!"
Seeing Dai Mubai's gaze, Ning Rongrong nodded slightly in response. Due to many changes, the severe conflict between Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong hadn't erupted, and their relationship was somewhat better than the creditor-debtor relationship with Tang San.
"Boss Dai, your soul power is the highest among us, so the key to this battle lies with you. As long as you can withstand his attacks, the rest will be easier!"
God King Tang continued strategizing, "Zhuqing, Fatty, you and I will use our strengths to disrupt his actions, preventing him from fully attacking Boss Dai. Xiao Ao, use all your soul power to make sausages for our soul power recovery. Even if his soul power is higher than all of ours combined, we are a team, and he is alone. The one who wins the soul power battle will definitely be us!"
"Brother, what about me?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.
Tang San smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, don't worry. You are our trump card. When we have exhausted his soul power together, that's your chance. Use your Eight-Duan Throw to give him a good lesson!"
"Got it!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but smile happily at Tang San's words, twisting her neck with a smug expression. "This time, Sister Xiao Wu will give him a painful lesson!"
Ning Rongrong remained silent. Although she was still upset with Tang San for breaking her soul tool earlier, his strategy didn't seem to have any flaws.
All she needed to do was support Dai Mubai. Besides, as long as her martial soul was displayed, anyone with some sense wouldn't dare to go hard on her.
After finalizing their battle plan, the Shrek Seven energetically exited the inn. They lined up in a row, and with Dai Mubai's command, they released their martial souls. Rings of yellow and purple light flashed as everyone entered their martial soul states.
"Still not going to reveal your martial soul?" Dai Mubai shouted, his tiger eyes fixed on Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu replied indifferently, "I don't need it to deal with you."
"You really have a death wish!"
Dai Mubai activated his first and third soul rings, enhancing himself with White Tiger Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation. As he charged at Xiao Yu, he called out, "Rongrong, fully support me!"
Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, with all three soul skills directed at Dai Mubai.
Under the terrifying amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the level-37 Dai Mubai indeed had the strength to fight a Soul Elder.
Unfortunately, Tang San never imagined that the under-20-year-old Xiao Yu in front of them was actually a Soul Emperor.
Even with all the enhancements, Dai Mubai still faced a nearly twenty-level gap against Xiao Yu.
With one punch, Xiao Yu clashed with Dai Mubai's tiger claw. Although Xiao Yu hadn't activated his martial soul, his immense soul power and the physical enhancements from the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had made his body incredibly powerful.
A loud "crack" was heard, and Dai Mubai's face twisted in pain. It was clear that the collision had broken his bones.
"Get lost!"
Xiao Yu kicked Dai Mubai in the chest, sending him flying with blood spurting from his mouth.
"Mu Bai!"
Zhu Zhuqing cried out. Despite her disdain for Dai Mubai, if anything happened to him, she would face the same fate.
Without thinking, Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed as she darted towards the fallen Dai Mubai. Her speed was so fast that even Tang San's Purple Demon Eye could only catch a shadow.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed, however, was only impressive compared to soul masters of the same level. Xiao Yu could clearly see all her movements. With a swift step, he blocked Zhu Zhuqing's path.
"Move!"
Zhu Zhuqing shouted, using her first soul skill, Hell Rush Stab, aiming her sharp claws at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sidestepped her fierce attack. As they passed each other, Xiao Yu turned and struck Zhu Zhuqing's neck with a knife-hand, causing her to collapse weakly to the ground.
Xiao Yu had greatly restrained his strength, only rendering her temporarily unable to fight without causing real harm.
Of the three Shrek beauties, Zhu Zhuqing was the one he pitied the most. Despite her inferior talent, with an innate soul power barely above seven, she had never fallen behind in level due to her determination and hard work.
