Chapter 64: One Punch Shatters His Passion

Dai Mubai erupted with blinding golden light, his body shifting positions several times in mid-air. The dense golden light intersected and exploded, forming a massive character for "Kill" in the sky.

After being amplified by Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was confident that even a Soul Saint would meet their end against this strike!

"Sixth Soul Skill: White Tiger Annihilation Kill!" Dai Mubai roared as he descended.

Ye Ming looked up slightly, his right hand stretching backward, his entire body arching like a bow.

A violent Tyrant Bear phantom manifested behind him!

He did not manifest his martial soul; he simply took a step forward, utilizing the Swift as Flying Gu to arrive in mid-air before the "Kill" character controlled by Dai Mubai.

"Boom!!"

The moves collided, and Dai Mubai's long-prepared ultimate technique shattered like a mirror, instantly breaking apart.

Ye Ming's momentum did not diminish; the Tyrant Bear strength combined with the beast power phantom, infused into his fist, struck the stunned Dai Mubai in the chest once more.

With a *pfft*, Dai Mubai spat blood toward the sky and slammed heavily into the ground beside Zhu Zhuqing in the distance.

He struggled to rise, but could no longer stand.

The white tiger fur on his body dissipated, and he was knocked clean out of his White Tiger Possession state! One punch shattered his passion.

"Boss!!"

"Dai Laoda!"

Oscar and Ning Rongrong cried out in alarm, rushing quickly to the side of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to help them up.

Oscar hurriedly summoned several Restoration Big Sausages and stuffed them into their mouths.

Seeing the color return to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's faces, Oscar and Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Oscar stepped past the others, facing the slowly descending Ye Ming.

A sharp killing intent seemed to materialize around him, and combined with the long scar on his face, he looked both violent and ferocious.

He suddenly pulled a Zhuge Divine Crossbow from behind his back and pulled the trigger, sending over a dozen steel needles flying straight at Ye Ming's head.

After doing this, his two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings appeared, and his sixth soul ring flared with black light. A circle of black light emerged from his hands.

He tossed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow aside, pulled a drop of blood from a jade bottle in his robes, and fused it into the black light in his hands. A pale silver sausage slowly took form. He immediately ate the sausage.

All these movements were smooth and fluid. Ye Ming watched the needles approach without moving to stop Oscar's actions.

He simply raised his hand, and the Copper Skin and Iron Bones effect blocked all the steel needles.

Watching Oscar eat the sausage, Ye Ming stared at him quietly, waiting for his next move.

Of the Shrek Seven Devils, aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu who had some utility, the others were insignificant.

To him, these people were no different from passersby.

As long as they didn't hinder his journey, they could go play with themselves; he wouldn't even bother stepping on them! He had struck now without killing them only to maintain more leverage for his later plans.

At this moment, silver light flashed in Oscar's eyes, and over a dozen Blue Silver Grass vines mixed with blue, gold, and red colors erupted from the ground. In an instant, they formed a Blue Silver Cage, trapping Ye Ming inside.

Ignoring the surprised expressions of the others, Oscar stretched his hands out with some difficulty in the air, summoning a crimson-gold Blue Silver Overlord Spear, which he hurled directly at Ye Ming.

As the Blue Silver Overlord Spear descended, a fist erupted from the Blue Silver Cage, striking the spear without any resistance! "Crack!"

This spear, which had gathered two-thirds of Oscar's soul power, shattered into pieces instantly!

Ye Ming kicked the Blue Silver Cage away and stared directly at the four people before him.

"Swish!"

His figure flashed, appearing instantly before Oscar. With a light swing of his fist, Oscar flew backward, slamming into a wall in the distance and vomiting blood.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing tried to fight again, but that terrifying iron fist struck once more!

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Three consecutive sounds, and Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong landed in a neat row beside Oscar, clutching their chests, listless. Ye Ming looked at the four of them indifferently and slowly withdrew his fist.

"Everyone, I only came to find Tang San; I have something very important to tell him!"

"You were so aggressive, attacking me like this—isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Dai Mubai:?

Zhu Zhuqing:?

Oscar:?

Ning Rongrong:...

Shrek Academy, Dean's Office.

Flender's brow was tightly furrowed, and Liu Erlong stood before his desk, looking at him with a pleading expression.

Flender smiled bitterly, "Erlong, there's nothing I can do. You know Yu Xiaogang's temper. If even you can't talk him out of it, what use am I?"

"You also know that Yu Xiaogang's greatest dream is to one day be recognized by the sect. That is the biggest reason why he has dedicated himself to martial soul research for so many years."

"The massacre of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was a massive blow to him. What he's doing now is just a form of venting."

Liu Erlong's eyes were slightly red, "But he's either training those soul masters without sleep or studying martial souls without rest. If this continues..."

"Tang San has already tried to persuade him. Give him some time to recover. Perhaps when Tang San returns from the Four Great Sects, Yu Xiaogang will have moved on." Flender thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, how are the scattered members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gathering?"

Liu Erlong smiled bitterly, "There are fewer than a hundred, and almost all of them are from the younger generation; the strongest is only level fifty-something. Now, I've become the strongest in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"The Spirit Hall is truly ruthless. They don't move unless they intend to strike with thunderous force." Flender sighed.

A hateful light flickered in her eyes as Liu Erlong clenched her fists, her bones creaking. "Spirit Hall, what a ruthless Spirit Hall!"

"Bibi Dong, you bitch, I will make sure you never find peace in any life!"

Flender sighed again and changed the subject, "Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are promoting an alliance between the two empires. For their mutual benefit, the two empires will inevitably join forces to resist the Spirit Hall."

"But the power the Spirit Hall now commands is terrifying. The number of soul masters they control and the military strength of the various duchies are already enough to rival the two great empires."

"If war truly begins, it will be a catastrophe for the entire continent!"

Liu Erlong was about to respond when urgent knocking came at the door.

"Dean, it's bad! Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have returned!" After receiving permission, the student pushed the door open and shouted anxiously, "They, along with Oscar and Ning Rongrong, were beaten up at the academy gate!"

"What! Who dares to beat my students!"

Flender and Liu Erlong looked at each other, rushed out of the office, and manifested their martial souls as they dashed toward the academy gate.

Just as they arrived at the gate, they saw a handsome man in cyan athletic wear withdrawing his fist.

Opposite him, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong lay on the ground, all bearing injuries.

The man frowned and said coldly:

"Everyone, I only came to find Tang San; I have something very important to tell him!"

"You were so aggressive, attacking me like this—isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Flender and Liu Erlong arrived just in time to hear the last sentence about being "unreasonable."

They retracted their martial souls and landed heavily in front of Dai Mubai and the others.

"Reason? You beat my students at Shrek Academy, and now I'll show you what true reason is!"

Flender twisted the facts with a single sentence, and eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—erupted from his body! Liu Erlong snorted coldly, staring at Ye Ming, as eight soul rings of the same colors rose from her body as well.
