As Shrek and his friends walked down the streets of Soto City, the sky, which should have been clear, was now covered with dark clouds, just like their mood and state of mind.
"I'm sorry, Dean, I don't know why things turned out this way." Qin Ming lowered his head, not daring to look at Flander.
Flander looked at Qin Ming and opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he sighed and said in a low voice, "I was also wrong about this. I shouldn't have discussed today's Soul Battle with you, otherwise we wouldn't have... sigh."
At this moment, Yu Tianheng hugged his right arm and looked at Flander with a worried expression, saying, "Dean, let's hurry up and find a Soul Master to treat Uncle."
Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Tang San's injuries were stabilized thanks to the support-type Soul Masters in the Great Soul Arena. Zhao Wuji, with his Soul Saint physique, could hold on for a while longer, but Yu Xiaogang's severe poison might not survive the night without treatment.
Flander turned to look at Yu Xiaogang on the stretcher and sighed, "You know what Tang San was up to. We can only get back to the academy as soon as possible and have Shao Xin treat Tang San so he can wake up and detoxify soon."
"Then let's hurry up!" Yu Tianheng said eagerly.
Then, without realizing it, everyone quickened their pace and left Soto City.
Inside a luxury room at the Soto City Grand Arena.
Mu Ci stood on the balcony, looking at the dark sky filled with the rumble of thunder, and suddenly a pang of fear flashed through her heart.
An extremely dangerous feeling came from the bottom of my heart.
Even Mu Ci, who was already an intermediate-level cultivator, couldn't avoid the inexplicable sense of crisis.
But when he canceled the goal, that feeling vanished in an instant.
'So you were watching after all? You'll only act when death is certain? Well, I'll let you live a little longer, and we'll play with you slowly.'
At that moment, Mu Ci suddenly felt a soft, delicate body, carrying the scent of a light fragrance, wrap around her waist from behind.
"Are you still thinking about what just happened?" Dugu Yan's gentle voice rang in her ears, making Mu Ci's heart suddenly itch.
Mu Ci turned around, hugged Dugu Yan who had changed into a nightgown, and whispered in her ear, "Thinking of you."
"Ugh, alright, let's forget about what happened before. It's getting late, you should go back and rest too," Dugu Yan said, her pretty face slightly flushed, as she pressed against Mu Ci's chest.
"Why go back? Can't I stay here?" Mu Ci whispered in her ear, her voice tinged with emotion.
Dugu Yan's golden eyes sparkled.
"Really?"
Mu Ci wrapped one arm around Dugu Yan's slender waist and slipped the other hand under her knees.
"Of course!"
Chapter 144 Forced Change
A winding country road outside Soto.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and countless bolts of lightning crisscrossed like a net.
boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of purple-white lightning struck down from the heavens, carrying an aura of destruction as it hurtled towards the Shrek Seven Devils.
A terrifying aura of death enveloped most of the people centered around Tang San.
Even Flander, a Soul Saint, felt only fear and trembling in the face of the terrifying divine might. His entire body felt as if it were being electrocuted, and he dared not move.
Just as the lightning was about to engulf everyone, the ferocious electric python strangely twisted its body in mid-air, turning in an arc that was difficult to describe, and finally crashed into the wasteland dozens of steps away.
Amidst the deafening explosion, scorched earth churned up.
To the astonishment of the Shrek Academy group, a massive crater, several meters in diameter and extremely deep, suddenly appeared on the ground.
Blue light flashed, purple lightning shot out, and even red light flowed in the center of the pit—that was the vitrified rock and sand.
The devastating scene plunged everyone into a deathly silence that lasted for half a minute.
Because of the heavenly lightning, no one noticed that Tang San's body, lying on the stretcher, trembled violently the instant the lightning struck.
Golden light began to emanate from within Tang San's body, nourishing his dilapidated form.
At this moment, Dai Mubai, clutching his chest, nudged Yu Tianheng, who was standing next to him with his arms crossed, and asked curiously.
"Boss Yu, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is the number one lightning-attribute beast Martial Soul in Douluo Continent. What realm do you think you are at to unleash such an attack?"
Yu Tianheng shook his head helplessly and said, "If we're only talking about the area on the ground, the Soul King is enough."
"But if we add depth, I feel even a Soul Saint might not be able to do it. After all, lightning is not like fire. Although it also has high temperature, it consumes too much soul power to turn sand and stone into lava."
"To easily achieve this level, I roughly estimate that it would require the Contra level."
Just then, Flander interrupted their conversation.
"Alright, stop chatting. Let's hurry back to the academy to find Shao Xin. Use his soul skill to heal Xiao Gang and the others. Every minute we delay increases the danger."
At this moment, Oscar muttered, "Everyone says that the Medicine King's Clinic saves lives and heals the wounded, so why are people chasing us away before we even enter the shop?"
Oscar's words caused several people present to turn grim.
If Tang San hadn't insisted on using that backup plan and those strange poisoned hidden weapons, none of this would have happened today.
At this moment, Qin Ming spoke up, sounding annoyed: "Junior Oscar, isn't this normal? If you offend the sect leader and his fiancée, do you think they'll treat us?"
"We just wanted to take advantage of the time difference to buy some healing pills, but unfortunately, they reacted too quickly."
Oscar was stunned for a moment before realizing who Shrek Academy had offended.
"Senior Qin Ming, are you saying that the one who beat Teacher Zhao up like this was Mu Ci? The Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect, Mu Ci?"
"But isn't he about the same age as us?"
As he spoke, Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was whispering with Zhu Zhuqing, and his eyes dimmed.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
Qin Ming sighed and said to Oscar, "He is indeed about the same age as you, only a year or two older than Junior Brother Dai Mubai."
"But judging from his strength today, he is probably no less than a Soul Saint. That's terrifying."
As everyone remained silent, a faint cough came from the stretcher.
"Cough cough!"
When Flander realized it was Tang San, he immediately walked up to him and called out softly.
"Tang San, how are you feeling? Xiao Ao, don't just stand there, come get two big sausages!"
"Oh! Coming right away." Oscar looked away from Ning Rongrong and hurriedly summoned two large recovery sausages.
With the help of Oscar and Flander, Tang San endured the excruciating pain in his chest and back and swallowed the recovery sausage with great difficulty.
Tang San felt the sausage enter his stomach and immediately transform into a warm healing soul power.
Although the effect is slight, it is still much better than nothing.
Tang San glanced at the surrounding scenery out of the corner of his eye and immediately realized that this was a country road on the way back to Shrek Academy.
Due to the angle of view, Tang San did not see Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang in front of him.
Tang San coughed twice urgently and said to Flander, "Dean Flander, how is Xiao Wu? How did we get here?"
In his understanding, even if he lost the match, he should wake up in the treatment room of the Soto City Great Arena.
But why would that be?
Upon hearing this, Flander and Qin Ming's faces darkened again.
Isn't this all your fault, you culprit!
However, now was not the time to blame Tang San. Flander remembered that Yu Xiaogang's poison had not yet been neutralized, so he hurriedly said, "Tang San, Xiao Wu is fine. Her external injuries have almost healed, but she has not yet woken up due to the mental attack."
"Take a look at Xiaogang first. Your teacher has been poisoned by the poison in your hidden weapon. Even Oscar's antidote sausage is ineffective. If it's not cured soon, he might not make it in time."
Yu Xiaogang was poisoned? Aren't all his hidden weapons placed on stage? How could this good-for-nothing be poisoned? What happened after he fell unconscious?
"That kind?" Tang San asked with some difficulty.
Flander recalled the appearance and said, "It must be the poison on your Zhuge crossbow."
Upon hearing this, Tang San understood and, comparing his still relatively intact arm, made a swipe across the storage soul tool.
Immediately, two small porcelain bottles fell into his hands and were handed to Flander, who was squatting next to him.
"One is for oral use, and the other is for external application; both are labeled."
Flander understood immediately, took the antidote, and turned to begin treating Yu Xiaogang.
A few minutes later, Flander saw that the bluish-black color on Yu Xiaogang's lips had begun to fade and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But it's not time for them to relax yet; Zhao Wuji's injuries are still critical.
"Let's hurry back to the academy!"
-
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
Inside a luxury guest room at the Soto Arena.
Mu Ci was carefully feeding Ye Lingling, who was leaning against the sofa with a flushed face, porridge.
This action made Ye Lingling's already shy face blush even more.
Especially with her good friend Dugu Yan watching from the other side with a smile on her face.
"Alright, Aci, I'm fine now. Yanyan is watching."
Ye Lingling shyly took the warm breakfast from Mu Ci's hands, then asked coquettishly, "Why are you in Yan Yan's room?"
"Why can't I be in Yan Yan's room? Then why did you come over in the middle of the night?" Mu Ci asked Ye Lingling with a smile.
"Yanyan and I are often together, who knew you were in bed yesterday, and..."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan rolled her beautiful eyes at Mu Ci.
"Alright, Aci, stop teasing Lingling. You're getting all the benefits."
After speaking, Dugu Yan looked at Mu Ci and asked, "Are we going back to Tiandou City next?"
After thinking it over, Mu Ci realized that since he couldn't take action for the time being, there was no need for him to stay in Soto City.
Smiling at Dugu Yan, he said, "Then let's go back together."
