Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Brawl
The middle-aged man, with cold sweat on his face, finally stood in the middle. As the leading teacher, he had already considered many things. After seeing the strength and age of these children, he knew that they couldn't continue the fight.
Not to mention that they were completely overmatched, even if they could win, he still had to consider how terrifying the teachers behind this group of geniuses were.
The middle-aged man approached, emanating a chilling aura. He slightly released his own Martial Soul's presence, hoping to calm Zhou Hao and the others down.
"I am Ye Zhi-Qui, the External Affairs Department Director of Blue Sunshine Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
Zhou Hao replied casually, "Suo Tuo City, Shrek Academy!"
Ye Zhi-Qui frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Shrek Academy0? I haven't heard of it."
"Well, you'll know today, and you'll remember it very well." Zhou Hao didn't even spare a glance at this oily guy. He was just too repulsive.
"Now that you're backing off, it's too late. You've provoked us, so we must deal with you a bunch of crooked melons today. And that lady there, I've never seen a woman as ugly as you. I was just scared by your appearance, that's why I didn't react." Ma Hongjun was bursting with anger, his Evil Fire about to flare up, but he was halted by Ye Zhi-Qui.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zhi-Qui's temples throbbed, but he managed to restrain himself.
Many Spirit Masters were coming and going here. If the prestigious Blue Sunshine Academy's Spirit Masters were defeated by a few kids, it would be impossible to maintain their reputation. However, he was also wary of the powerful figures behind Zhou Hao's group, caught in a dilemma.
"Guys, our Blue Sunshine Academy is a prestigious high-level academy after all. Our students' behaviour was inappropriate, and we admit our fault. However, you students were at fault first. Let's put this behind us, shall we? We will naturally bear the compensation for the losses in the restaurant."
Ye Zhi-Qui abandoned his previous assertiveness and confidence, adopting a humble posture. "As a Viscount of the Empire and a Spirit King, I apologise to you."
This statement carried a warning as well.
The surrounding people were all amazed. Spirit King powerhouses were rare in the Balak Kingdom, and those with noble titles were even rarer.
Only the members of Shrek were unfazed. Ma Hongjun's face trembled, adding fuel to the fire: "You, a man in his forties, with your greasy hair and powdered face, are you trying to be the Duck King?"
As soon as this annoying fat boy started being mouthy again, Ye Zhi-Qui finally exploded. As a Spirit King, he was being mocked by a few kids like this.
"Even a clay figure has some anger left. I tried to have a good conversation with you as a Spirit King, but you brats are so disrespectful. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Black Tortoise, possess!"
Dark black water flowed around him, and one white, two yellow and two purple spirit rings rose amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers. The whole person crouched on the ground, covered in jet-black turtle armour, emitting a chilling aura that caused the temperature in the restaurant to drop sharply.
Dai Mubai couldn't help but burst into laughter first because, although Ye Zhi-Qui had decent strength, his Martial Soul was just too comical. Soon everyone joined in, even the ordinary customers around them were on the verge of bursting into laughter.
"Where's your teacher? Let him come out to see me," Ye Zhi-Qui said coldly, "You little brats are not qualified."
"I thought it was something important, turns out it's just an old tortoise!"
Dai Mubai sneered, "If you want to see our teacher, you're not worthy." He flicked out his White Tiger claws, his tone mocking.
"Insolent! Today, I'll educate you on behalf of your teacher, you bunch of ignorant brats!"
Dai Mubai's words struck at the lifelong sore spot of Ye Zhi- Qui.
"Let's go, we'll fight outside," Zhou Hao glanced at the trembling boss. The restaurant was in shambles, and if they continued fighting there, the place would be torn down.
Ye Zhi-Qui had no objections. As a Spirit Master of the empire, he still had his own principles.
The group walked out of the town and arrived at an open space.
Ye Zhi-Qui had calmed down a bit, "I'll give you one more chance to reconsider. It's not too late to apologise now."
"Joke! We've come this far. Whoever has the bigger fist is right," Ma Hongjun retorted.
Ye Zhi-Qui snorted angrily, "Come at me together then, today I'll give you a good lesson." Black radiance surged around him, and his turtle shell appeared exceptionally sturdy.
Dai Mubai took the initiative to attack, his second Spirit Ring shining brightly. Intense white light condensed into a sphere in front of him, and a beam of light shot out from his mouth. It was the second Spirit Skill of the Evil-Eye White Tiger, the White Tiger Intense Light Wave!
Zhu Zhuqing's body created a string of illusions as she moved diagonally, swiftly circling around Ye Zhi-Qui with Ning Rongrong's support. At the same time, Zhou Hao also made his move, rapidly approaching from the other side. His third Spirit Ring, a purple-black colour, flickered as he activated Dark Golden Judgment.
Ye Zhi-Qui's Black Tortoise was considered to have superior defensive power among turtle-type martial souls, making Dark Golden Judgment useful in this situation.
Ma Hongjun shook his Mohawk-style long hair, and his first soul ring lit up. A purple-red Phoenix Fire Wire shot out, showcasing the high temperature of the Evil Fire Phoenix.
The four of them attacked almost simultaneously, without any reservations even though their opponent was a Spirit King.
Ye Zhi-Qui, after all, was a Spirit King, and he remained calm in the face of the four's assault. Letting out a low roar, the first and second soul rings on his body simultaneously lit up. His body rapidly spun half a circle, and his turtle shell suddenly expanded. At the same time, a black flow of a water-like dark stream, accompanied by a heavy chill, scattered in all directions.
Right from the beginning of the battle, Ye Zhi-Qui used his two best spirit skills: Mysterious Turtle Protection and Mysterious Ice Seal. His goal was simple, to quickly deal with these young men, boost the morale of his students, and demonstrate the strength of the Blue Sunshine Academy.
Ye Zhi-Qui was confident that with his level of soul power, fully unleashing the Mysterious Ice Seal to immobilise the Shrek group would be no problem.
The White Tiger Intense Light Wave exploded against the turtle shell but had no effect. Zhu Zhuqing was the fastest and had already closed in, only to immediately feel an extremely cold aura assaulting her, freezing her blood vessels.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Fire Wire came over, temporarily suppressing the cold aura, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to quickly retreat. The purple-red flames touched the turtle shell but did not extinguish, sticking to it as if with adhesive properties.
Ye Zhi-Qui felt a scorching sensation on his back, and in surprise, he realised that several strands of Blue Silver Grass had tightly coiled around his neck. Zhou Hao swung his right arm, his first spirit ring shining brightly as he activated his Claw Blade. The enormous dark golden claw, accompanied by a sharp white aura, was like a guillotine, viciously cutting towards Ye Zhi-Qui's neck.
Ye Zhi-Qui was greatly alarmed, and a burst of cold aura erupted, shattering the Blue Silver Grass. His head swiftly retracted into his chest cavity, extremely agile. Zhou Hao's attack missed, and he quickly distanced himself, feeling uncomfortable with that chilling aura.
Ye Zhi-Qui's third soul ring immediately lit up, and a mist covered the flames on his back. Although the flames were much stronger in terms of attributes than the Mysterious Water. Ma Hongjun's soul power was ultimately too shallow, causing the flames to be extinguished.
Dai Mubai, refusing to give up, activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation and shot his tiger claws directly at Ye Zhi-Qui's turtle shell. As he approached, his first spirit ring, the White Tiger Shield Body Barrier, activated. Dai Mubai intended to force his way into close combat.
Ye Zhi-Qui turned around and unleashed his third spirit skill, Mysterious Water Surge. Seeing this, Ma Hongjun charged forward unleashing the Phoenix Fire Wire with all his might, the collision causing steam to rise. Amidst the steam, Dai Mubai raised his palm infused with his robust soul power to hit him, causing a surge of blood energy within Ye Zhi-Qui.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Wu, who had been on the sidelines, wrapped a strand of Blue Silver Grass around her waist. Finally finding the right moment, she rushed forward, agilely leaping onto the turtle shell. Her Scorpion Braid tightly coiled around Ye Zhi-Qui's neck, and before he could dodge Xiao Wu flung him away, flipping him over so that his abdomen was exposed.
Zhou Hao's first and second soul rings both shone brightly as he covered his bear-fur-covered palms with tremendous strength, slamming them towards Ye Zhi-Qui's soft abdomen. Subconsciously, Ye Zhi-Qui's fifth soul ring emitted a strong purple light, but it was too late. The sharp aura made him feel an icy chill in his heart. He had been careless!
"What are you all doing here in the middle of the night, not sleeping?" The sudden shout made Zhou Hao's attack pause.
A burly figure appeared behind them—it was Zhao Wuji, who had just gone upstairs to rest.
"Go back and get some sleep, and assemble on time tomorrow," Zhao Wuji ordered all the Shrek Academy students without even looking at the Blue Sunshine Academy group. He yawned lazily and turned to leave.
Ye Zhi-Qui, being ignored by this late-arriving teacher, couldn't accept it. "Hey, wait a minute," he said.
An impatient Zhao Wuji turned around. "What's the matter?"
Ye Zhi-Qui was displeased and spoke coldly, "You're the teacher from that Shrek Academy, right? Your students attacked my students and insulted our Blue Sunshine Academy. As a teacher, how do you educate your students? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Zhao Wuji glanced at him with an unfriendly expression. He was once a notorious demon king of the Continent's Spirit Master world, even the Spirit Hall left him alone. Today, a mere Spirit King dared to question him, he was very upset.
"Explanation? What explanation do you want?" Both he and Flender were proud individuals, which was why they had retired to become teachers. But that didn't mean Zhao Wuji was a pushover.
"You..." Ye Zhi-Qui was furious and strode forward. Judging by his imposing manner, he was definitely not planning to let it go easily.
Zhao Wuji turned around. "You guys have been fighting for so long and couldn't even deal with a stupid ass bitch. Just wait, I'll deal with you guys later."
Zhou Hao secretly muttered to himself, "If you hadn't come, that last hit would have left him half-dead."
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly. "Go back to sleep."
He turned to face Ye Zhi-Qui, who was exuding a chilling aura as he approached.
Without activating his martial soul at all, relying solely on his physical strength, Zhao Wuji slapped his palm towards Ye Zhi-Qui. Dealing with such small fry, he also wanted to try Tang Hao's feeling of beating himself that night.
Ye Zhi-Qui was completely enraged at this point. He unleashed the full power of his Mysterious Ice Seal, and a strong chill swept towards Zhao Wuji. At the same time, he turned his body, using his turtle shell to block Zhao Wuji's palm. He thought to himself, "You're too arrogant. Even if your soul power is higher than mine, you don't even use your Martial Spirit. I'll make you suffer a loss today."
Unfortunately, it wasn't Zhao Wuji who suffered the loss.
The Mysterious Ice Seal that had caused a lot of trouble for Tang San and the others did not affect Zhao Wuji. A faint golden light shone on his body, and in the next moment, Ye Zhi-Qui's body was sent flying by a slap from Zhao Wuji, as if he had disappeared into thin air. A large crack appeared on his turtle shell, and he flew out for more than ten metres before crashing heavily into the ground.
Zhao Wuji threw a disdainful glance in Ye Zhi-Qui's direction, then turned around and led the Shrek Academy students towards the hotel. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "It feels good to beat people without using your Martial Soul. No wonder..."
Ye Zhi-Qui was helped up by the students, his expression filled with fear. He left trembling, with a sense of shock in his heart. This wasn't a group of students and teachers; they were monsters.
Especially that student with the bear Martial Soul, his Martial Soul quality was extremely high. From that one strike earlier, Ye Zhi-Qui even felt the threat of death. And that teacher with an unfathomable strength, who also seemed to have a bear Martial Soul, had terrifying power.
The small town finally quieted down, with no more incidents throughout the night.
