Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Well..."

Zhao Wuji was also in a dilemma.

After all, he set the rules, which stipulated that the three people had to be defeated within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. However, given the current situation, if Dai Mubai is not allowed to pass, it would be difficult to explain to the dean.

Just as Zhao Wuji hesitated, a voice came from the side at the right time.

"Alright, Lao Zhao, I think this match should be considered a draw."

"As for this new student, Shrek Academy will accept him."

The visitor was none other than Dean Flander.

Flander walked up to Dai Mubai unhurriedly, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Dai Mubai? What is your relationship with the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Greetings, Dean. I am Dai Mubai, the third son in the Dai family."

Dai Mubai answered succinctly.

"Understood. From today onwards, you are a student of Shrek Academy."

"Oscar, Hongjun, take Mubai to the dormitory and let him familiarize himself with the academy environment."

Flanders gave the instructions and then left.

"By the way, let's get to know each other formally. I'm Dai Mubai."

Dai Mubai approached Wang Teng and the other two, his attitude much more conciliatory than before.

"Hello, I am Wang Teng/Ma Hongjun/Oscar."

The three responded politely.

"Is everyone free tonight? My treat, how about we get together?"

Dai Mubai extended the invitation with a smile.

"Um...I have something to do tonight, I have to go..."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"where to?"

Dai Mubai asked curiously.

"He's going to the red-light district to relieve his pent-up desire."

Oscar quipped.

"No way, Fatty, you're so young and you're already going to places like that?"

"I thought I was the only one going!"

Dai Mubai burst into laughter.

"Oh? Brother Dai, you're going too?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, tonight I'll take you to see what the best place in Soto City is like."

Dai Mubai put his arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder, and the two immediately started chatting enthusiastically.

And you?

Dai Mubai then looked at Wang Teng and Oscar.

"I...I'll go and take a look too."

Oscar was a little embarrassed.

"I won't go, I still need to cultivate."

Wang Teng politely declined.

"Seriously? This is such a downer?"

Dai Mubai frowned slightly.

"Forget it, Brother Dai, Wang Teng isn't from our college, the three of us can go."

Ma Hongjun stepped forward to smooth things over.

"also."

The three of them left the playground chatting and laughing.

Since he didn't have to fight today, Wang Teng turned around and left Shrek Academy, returning to his courtyard to continue his cultivation.

Chapter 73 Two Years Later

Wang Teng had to go to the Grand Arena for a solo battle that night, so he didn't have time to go to the red-light district.

As night deepened, the lights of Soto gradually came on.

The campus gradually quieted down, with only the occasional birdsong coming from the old trees by the playground.

Wang Teng walked alone on the way back, his mind still replaying the battle of the day.

Dai Mubai's strength is indeed formidable. If they hadn't adopted delaying tactics, they probably wouldn't have lasted even a stick of incense.

"I need to become stronger."

Wang Teng clenched his fist and quickened his pace.

The distant streets echoed with faint sounds of bustling activity—the nightlife of others—while his night belonged to the training grounds and the Great Soul Arena.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and his two companions were already walking on the streets of Soto City. Ma Hongjun was excitedly introducing several shops he frequented, while Oscar followed behind with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Dai Mubai listened with a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that his coming to Shrek Academy was just a temporary measure.

"Never mind, let's just live one day at a time, keep playing music and dancing."

Dai Mubai thought to himself.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the three people, which gradually blended into the night of the city.

Half a month has passed since the battle with Dai Mubai.

In the past two weeks, Wang Teng went to Shrek Academy twice more to spar with Ma Hongjun, as usual.

However, during his two visits to Shrek Academy, in addition to the one-on-one match with Ma Hongjun, Zhao Wuji also arranged several three-on-one battles: Wang Teng, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar teamed up to fight against Dai Mubai alone.

Life went on in this regular pattern.

Wang Teng didn't miss a thing: cultivation, body tempering, fighting, and participating in Soul Battles at the Great Soul Arena.

That morning, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Teng had already finished washing up and was starting his morning exercise in the yard.

His training method is not complicated; it is just the most basic physical training.

Push-ups, sprints, sit-ups, squats...

Repeat these movements over and over again to solidly strengthen your body.

In no time, Wang Teng's clothes were soaked with sweat.

"This weather, it's almost autumn, why is it still so hot?"

Wang Teng wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After finishing his morning exercise, he took off his soaked shirt and casually threw it into a wooden basin next to the well.

Wang Teng looked down at his strong abs and well-defined arms, and nodded in satisfaction.

If only I had a figure like this before I transmigrated.

Wang Teng reached out and touched the well-proportioned muscles, a sense of emotion washing over him.

Then he walked to the well, drew a bucket of cool well water, and poured it over his head with a splash.

The cool touch instantly dispelled the sweltering heat of late summer, invigorating the senses.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

"Little brother, are you home? I'm back!"

Wang Sheng's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Big brother!"

Wang Teng responded with delight, quickly pulled a dry long shirt from the clothesline, put it on, and strode towards the door.

Upon opening the door, one could see Wang Sheng standing outside, looking travel-worn.

Behind him was an oxcart, piled high with neatly bundled medicinal herbs.

"Big brother, you're finally back!"

Wang Teng greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, don't be so happy yet, let's see what I brought you?"

Wang Sheng patted the cart behind him and introduced, "This cart is full of medicinal herbs, which I specially purchased from Notting City."

"How about that? This much quantity is enough for you to use for a year."

As the two brothers talked, they began unloading the goods, carrying bundles of medicinal herbs into the house.

"By the way, brother, how is Father's health this time you came home?"

Wang Teng asked as he carried the medicinal herbs.

“He’s doing well. His father no longer hunts. He runs a general store in the village, selling daily necessities. He’s living a very stable life.”

Wang Sheng recounted his experiences during his trip home to his younger brother in detail, from the changes in the village to his father's current situation, leaving no detail unmentioned.

Before long, the entire truckload of medicinal herbs was moved into the house.

Wang Teng walked outside and asked the driver, "How much is the fare?"

The driver quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, that Soul Master has already paid."

Even so, Wang Teng still took out a silver soul coin and handed it over, saying, "This little bit of money is for you to have a cup of tea."
