"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were locked in combat.
After receiving Ye Feng's Lexical Trait, Zhu Zhuqing's strength and physique had both improved significantly, allowing her cultivation speed to skyrocket. Just a few days ago, she had finally reached level 30 and obtained her third Soul Ring.
Dai Mubai, on the other hand, had remained stagnant. In fact, due to severe depletion of his vital essence, his Soul Power had become unstable, and there were even signs of his cultivation regressing.
Logically speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's level was far below Dai Mubai's, and as a speed-type fighter, she shouldn't have been a match for him in a direct confrontation.
But with the Lexical Trait bestowed by Ye Feng and her agility, Zhu Zhuqing was able to hold her own against Dai Mubai, even showing signs of gaining the upper hand!
"Zhuqing, I'll help you!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate to release her Martial Soul, enhancing Zhu Zhuqing's attributes.
Although Ning Rongrong only had two Soul Rings, the two attribute boosts she applied to Zhu Zhuqing significantly increased her combat power, turning her slight advantage into an outright domination over Dai Mubai.
"Slash!"
Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity and slashed Dai Mubai's face with her claws.
The sharp claws tore through his skin, reaching the bone beneath, and nearly split his nose in half. It was clear that Zhu Zhuqing was truly enraged.
"Ah!"
Dai Mubai screamed in pain, instinctively covering his face.
But before he could react, Zhu Zhuqing delivered a powerful kick.
"Bang!"
Dai Mubai's chest took the full force of the blow, sending him flying over thirty meters away.
Zhu Zhuqing's strength was terrifying. The boost from the Lexical Trait, Ning Rongrong's enhancements, and her speed combined to create a force that even Dai Mubai couldn't withstand.
Blood gushed from his mouth.
"Stop!!!"
At that moment, an angry shout rang out.
Flender, carrying Yu Xiaogang, along with Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, quickly arrived on the scene, clearly drawn by the commotion.
Xiao Wu had been watching from the sidelines, but she also had a strong dislike for Dai Mubai, so she didn't intervene. In fact, she somewhat supported Zhu Zhuqing! Dai Mubai had always been arrogant, relying on his cultivation advantage, and he only respected Tang San among the group.
Now that he had been defeated by Zhu Zhuqing, it proved that Dai Mubai was nothing but trash.
For such a worthless person, Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't spare a second glance. If he died, it would be for the best. She would just grab a carrot and start the feast.
"Zhuqing, what are you doing!"
Seeing Dai Mubai's miserable state, Flender quickly helped him up and scolded Zhu Zhuqing angrily.
"Dean, Dai Mubai tried to kill me, and Zhuqing only acted in self-defense. Moreover, Dai Mubai attempted to harass Zhuqing. How can you not see the truth?"
Ning Rongrong immediately retorted, hands on her hips, clearly furious.
"Even if Mubai was in the wrong, you are all classmates. You shouldn't have gone so far!" Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, coldly reprimanding them.
During their daily training, he had noticed the conflicts among the Shrek Seven, but he had always thought it was just childish bickering. He believed that with proper guidance, he could unite them.
Indeed, during the training process, Zhu Zhuqing and the others performed quite well and excellently, except for refusing to eat Oscar's Great Sausage.
Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, had somehow gained some fortuitous opportunity, allowing her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period, reaching the level of Soul Grandmaster.
However, he never expected that the conflicts among them would escalate to this extent! "Master, this isn't right. Even as classmates, Dai Mubai shouldn't have been so disrespectful to Zhu Zhuqing! And Dai Mubai, that waste who only thinks with his lower body, can't even defeat Zhu Zhuqing. What's he still doing at Shrek Academy? He should just leave already!" Xiao Wu chimed in at this moment, supporting Zhu Zhuqing.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
Fortunately, Dai Mubai had been severely injured and passed out, otherwise, he would have surely stood up to fight Xiao Wu again.
"Xiao Wu, say less..."
Tang San, who had come to Xiao Wu's side at this moment, furrowed his brows and whispered a reminder.
After all, Dai Mubai was still a classmate. Everyone usually trained together and could be considered friends. The situation was already bad enough, and Xiao Wu was still adding fuel to the fire...
"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts. Third brother, you should stop associating with such a waste in the future. He has the highest cultivation, but he can't even defeat you, me, or Zhu Zhuqing. Does such a waste even deserve to be called a monster?"
Xiao Wu snorted lightly, speaking without any restraint.
"Enough, this matter ends here! Everyone, stop training for a week and take some time to cool down!"
Flender's face was extremely grim at this moment. He knew Dai Mubai was in the wrong, but he couldn't say much more.
At the same time, he cursed Dai Mubai in his heart for being a waste who couldn't even defeat Zhu Zhuqing. Combined with Dai Mubai's recent reckless behavior of indulging in women, which had left his body depleted, if this continued, he would surely die on a woman's belly sooner or later.
Every time, he would bring over a dozen women into his room at once. Even a Soul Master couldn't endure that for long...
Now, he needed to quickly take Dai Mubai away for treatment.
"No need, Dean. Thank you for the academy's nurturing during this time, but I feel that I don't belong here."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke up.
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Zhuqing's face, filled with disbelief.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what are you saying..."
Flender looked at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.
"I said, I want to drop out. Shrek isn't suitable for me," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, as if she had already made up her mind long ago.
"Zhu Zhuqing, why... We were so happy together, we're partners!"
The first to speak up and try to stop her was Tang San.
Although Tang San acted like a lapdog in front of Xiao Wu, aside from that, his strength and prestige within the team were undoubtedly the strongest.
Although the Shrek Seven had their own conflicts, they all respected Tang San.
It was precisely because of Tang San's mediating role that Yu Xiaogang's training had gone so smoothly.
Now, with Zhu Zhuqing suddenly wanting to drop out, Tang San was naturally the most heartbroken.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I know you have conflicts with Dai Mubai, but we're a team. You surely can't bear to leave, right..." Oscar also quickly spoke up to persuade her, though his expression was somewhat unnatural.
Sometimes he would direct his attention to Ning Rongrong**, other times to Zhu Zhuqing**, and occasionally to Xiao Wu**.
If Zhu Zhuqing were to leave, he would be deeply heartbroken.
"Zhuqing, Dai Mubai really didn't mean it. Please forgive him. After all, you are his fiancée..." Ma Hongjun also spoke up. He had a close relationship with Dai Mubai, so naturally, he wanted to speak on his behalf.
He was also aware of the engagement between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Dai Mubai had always wanted to win Zhu Zhuqing over, and Ma Hongjun had thought that w
ith Dai Mubai's charisma, he would quickly succeed.
But he never expected things to end up in such a mess.
