Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 68 The Shadow Over Shrek

In the first exchange, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were rendered powerless by Xiao Yu, and the remaining Shrek Five Monsters couldn't help but change their expressions.

Xiao Yu fired in all directions, finally stopping at Ma Hongjun, who had a mohawk.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

"Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes!"

Seemingly sensing Xiao Yu's hostile gaze, Ma Hongjun panicked and, without thinking twice, unleashed his first and second soul skills at Xiao Yu.

"Your flames are much weaker than I expected!"

Xiao Yu circulated his soul power to protect his body, preventing the purplish-red flames from getting close. Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix contained too many impurities, making it stronger than ordinary flames, but Xiao Yu's teammates included three soul masters with fire attributes.

Not to mention Ikki's ultimate fire phoenix martial soul, even Cangmo's flames are stronger than Ma Hongjun's phoenix fire lines, and only slightly better than Huowu, who controls the entire field with flames.

Over the past few years, Xiao Yu has sparred with these teammates countless times, and he no longer takes the mere evil fire seriously.

Ma Hongjun, who was spewing flames from his mouth, only saw a blur before Xiao Yu, dressed in black, appeared in front of him. Before he could react, Xiao Yu punched him in the face. In an instant, Ma Hongjun was sent flying like a cannonball, making a large crater in the ground.

"Enough! Stop!"

An angry voice rang out, and a tall figure appeared in front of the Shrek Seven Devils—it was Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water. He never expected that his proud little monster student would be so powerless against his opponent. The key was that Xiao Yu's movements were too fast. In just a few seconds, before he could even react, he had already knocked down three of his students. If he had acted any later, the remaining four would probably have suffered the same fate as Dai Mubai and his two companions.

Seeing Zhao Wuji appear, the remaining four breathed a sigh of relief. Tang San withdrew his hand from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night and stared at Xiao Yu not far away with a playful look. He didn't believe that Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, couldn't deal with Xiao Yu.

"You dare to injure a student of Shrek Academy!"

Zhao Wuji glanced at the three people lying on the ground. Zhu Zhuqing was alright, but Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were curled up and groaning, clearly seriously injured. He glared at Xiao Yu in front of him and said, "It was just a friendly spar, did you have to be so ruthless?"

"I didn't even use my martial spirit, and they couldn't even withstand one punch from me. They're just too useless!"

Xiao Yu sneered, "In the end, it's your academy that's incompetent; the students you teach have absolutely no real skills!"

"How dare you insult Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji flew into a rage, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he glared at Xiao Yu before him: "Boy, it seems I need to teach you a lesson on how to conduct yourself in the world."

Seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose from his body. The Mighty Vajra Bear possessed him. Zhao Wuji said coldly, "Kid, apologize properly to my student, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Teacher Zhao, teach him a lesson!"

Xiao Wu excitedly beat the drum behind her, leaving Ning Rongrong speechless. A Soul Saint who was almost fifty years old was making things difficult for a young man who was not even twenty. Wasn't she afraid of being laughed at if word got out? Xiao Wu was not ashamed at all, but rather proud of it.

"I'd like to see just how impolite you are!"

Just then, a voice equally filled with anger rang out. Hui Huo, dressed in black, had already blocked Xiao Yu's path. Looking at Zhao Wuji, who was possessed by a martial spirit, he said disdainfully, "At your age, bullying the younger generation like this, aren't you ashamed!"

Who is Zhao Wuji? A born troublemaker. Instead of showing the slightest shame at Hui Huo's accusations, he arrogantly replied, "So you're this kid's teacher, then I'm not bullying you, am I? Let's settle things with strength!"

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Hui Huo snorted coldly, and the Bennu Bird Martial Soul, surrounded by black flames, slowly emerged, shining even brighter in the night sky. Its eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—shone brightly, causing the arrogant Shrek Academy members to freeze in shock. Xiao Wu hurriedly withdrew her Martial Soul and pursed her lips, trying her best to conceal her aura.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Mighty Vajra Bear True Form"

Facing a Soul Douluo powerhouse, Zhao Wuji did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, instantly transforming into a giant bear five or six meters tall. He swung his hands and unleashed the full power of the Mighty Vajra Palm, heading straight for Hui Huo.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Hui Huo snorted coldly. He was no ordinary Soul Douluo, but a quasi-titled Douluo who had reached level 90. Facing Zhao Wuji, who had already used his full strength, he did not even activate his Martial Soul True Body, but only used his sixth soul skill, Corona Gale.

Countless gusts of wind, carrying terrifying black flames, rushed towards Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji quickly stopped his charge, forming a cross with his hands in front of him to block the attack with his powerful physique.

However, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and Huihuo's martial soul quality was far superior to Zhao Wuji's. A gust of wind came, and Zhao Wuji's huge body was blown away. Like his beloved disciples Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, he crashed into the ground, creating a deep pit. Many parts of his body were covered with Huihuo's black flames, burning him and leaving him in a sorry state!

"Teacher Zhao!"

Tang San and the others then reacted. Tang San and Oscar, the two unharmed boys, rushed to Zhao Wuji's side and helped him up from the deep pit. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong followed behind Zhao Wuji. Oscar quickly used his first soul skill to conjure a large sausage and handed it to Zhao Wuji, who took it and began to chew it.

Hui Huo did not stop Zhao Wuji from eating the sausage. Even if Zhao Wuji recovered, so what? It would just be another move. Moreover, how much could a great soul master's first soul skill restore him?

Zhao Wuji understood this as well. After swallowing the sausage in large gulps, he took a deep breath and looked at Huihuo, saying, "This time, I, Old Zhao, was blind to your worth. Do with me as you please, but please don't make things difficult for my students. They are still young, and they have a long future ahead of them!"

Although Zhao Wuji was a troublemaker with all sorts of flaws, he, like Flander, was incredibly good to his students. Of course, you could also say they were very protective of their own, always standing on their students' side regardless of right or wrong.

It's the New Year, and I've been quite busy. I just turned on my computer, so I'm a little late. Sorry everyone.
