Early in the morning, before the sun had even rose, the students of Shrek Academy stood at the entrance waiting for their dean.
"It's been almost half an hour, did the dean not wake up?" Xiao Wu said while being annoyed. They had woken up early for this and their dean was the one that was late.
"Just be patient" Dai MuBai replied as he continued to look to the inside of the academy, hoping to catch a glimpse of their dean to start heading out.
Liu Yan yawned and looked around, out of the corner of his eyes, he sees a piece of paper nailed to the entrance.
Upon reading it, he immediately called out to the rest.
"The dean has already left! He requires us to be at the village in front of Star Dou foret before dinner time!" Liu Yan yelled.
"What?!" Xiao Wu gasped as the others
immediately began to rush to the village.
Who knew what punishment would be given if they were late!
7:00pm was approaching, they were five min away from the village.
"Oscar! More sausages!" Liu Yan called out.
Oscar while running, summoned sausages and threw one to each person.
When they finally arrived, instead of their wise dean standing at the entrance of the village, it was their bulky but shorter, and fiercer teacher. Zhao WuJi.
"Late my five minutes!" He said loudly, having expected them to arrive ten minutes before the required time.
He turned and lead them into the village.
"I have already found an inn. Rest well and we head out tomorrow into the forest." He said.
The inn they stayed at was modest. A floor dedicated to feeding customers with their delicious food and the second floor for their guests to stay.
As Shrek students were enjoying their meal, chatting away.
"Two more bowls of rice." Ma HongJun said to the waitress.
Creak
"Yes, I'll be back with them soon" the waitress replied and headed for the counter.
Thud
The waitress bumps into a group of soul masters that just entered the inn.
"Owner! Bring us some food immediately!" One of them yelled out.
"Y-yes, esteemed soul masters. The food will be out momentarily" the chef replied.
The soul masters walked to a table that was free, at the same time. Some of them shot an arrogant look at the students of Shrek Academy.
"Who are those people?" Ying Xuan asked Dai MuBai.
"That's CangHui Academy… just some arrogant people." Dai MuBai said with disdain. Thought he preferred not to cause trouble, there was some dirty history between the two academies.
One of the students of CangHui approaches.
"Ho! Have I met you somewhere before?" He said while faking enthusiasm.
As he walked closer, he aimed his leg straight for the chair Dai MuBai sat on.
Just then, MuBai extended his leg out, causing the student to fall over.
"Ah!"
Thud
"Sorry, I didn't see you there." Dai MuBai smirked as he said so. He wasn't the one that liked to cause trouble, but if trouble came running, he won't mind.
"How dare you!" The other students of CangHui Academy charged at them.
Xiao Wu smiled and jumped at them, kicking one of them and sent him flying straight into the wall.
Crash
"What do you think you're doing?!" The old man of CangHui Academy yelled as he watched his own students get toyed around with by one person.
"No need to worry, we're just sparring" Dai MuBai said mockingly.
"Don't joke with me! Dark turtle possession!" The old man said with glaring at them, five soul rings rose up from the ground. White, yellow, yellow, purple, purple.
"Soul King?!" They exclaimed.
The old man's four limbs contracted simultaneously. His back swelling into the shape of turtle shell.
"If you all kneel down and apologise, I might let you all go" he said.
"You're just a spirit king, you're nothing." Ma HongJun said
Hearing this, the old man, Ye ZhiQiu got mad immediately. "Nothing?! You call me just a soul king! I'll teach you kids in place of your teachers!"
"White Tiger light wave!" Dai MuBai immediately attacked first. A wave of light firing out of his mouth.
A turtle shell materialised in front of him, immediately blocking the attack.
"Heh, you seem to underestimate our gap in power!"
"Less speaking, more attacking" Liu Yan dashed at him.
Bang
The punch lands on the shell, the recoil and vibration however was too strong, sending Liu Yan back a few meters.
He looked at his hands, which were shaking. "I can't attack head on…"
"Tang San! We need to restrain him!" Liu Yan shouted as he launched a wave of crystals at Ye ZhiQiu.
Under constant suppresing attacks, Ye ZhiQiu could only maintain his defense soul skills, unable to find a moment to attack.
"Entangle!" Blue silver grass grew rapidly, immediately coiling around his body, attemtping to break his concentration.
Xiao Wu and ZhuQing slashed at him constantly.
"Let me have a go!" MuBai ran forward, his fist waiting to collide with the old man's face!
"Shit!" Ye ZhiQiu, seeing MuBai's intention ejected from his defense shell, crashing into the wall, creating a hole in it.
"You all are courting death! Dark consuming water waves!" Cold, dense water fired out of his mouth.
"My turn! Phoenix fire wave!" Ma HongJun retaliated, firing a hot stream of fire clashing at the middle.
"You're too distracted…" Liu Yan said as he jumped above Ye ZhiQiu.
Before he could divert his attack, a crystal pillar shot towards the ground from the ceiling,
Banggg
He could not escape. The crystal pillar landed on his head, sending him headfirst into the ground.
The floorboards crack under the pressure.
After a few moments, the pillar dissipates. Ye ZhiQiu slowly got up, unable to focus. He had just suffered a concussion.
"Teacher!" The students of Cang Hui ran forward, devastated that their teacher who was a soul king was defeated.
"Hahahahaha! You brats know how to deal with trouble. I'm relieved!" Teacher Zhou had suddenly walked thyrough the door, enjoying the scene that had unfolded in the inn.
"You.. we won't forget this!" One of them yelled out as they proceeded upstairs.
Silence
Tang San suddenly perked up and said "next time, you should learn to not mess with us, the nine monsters of Shrek Academy!"
With that said, they left the scene.
