73 Chapter 72.

After a moment of contemplation, Flender cleared his throat, saying, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to hand over the individual you seek. It's just that he and all others had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest. I can't help you with that even if I want to."

Hearing this, Sword Douluo furrowed his brows. When he arrived, he did sense the absence of people in the seemingly run-down academy. 

'So, it's because they had all ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest.'

"Why did they all go to Star Dou Great Forest? Flender, did you know I was coming and deliberately sent him away?" Sword Douluo glanced at Flender and continued, "Star Dou Great Forest, huh? Then I'll find him myself."

With those words, Sword Douluo paid no further attention to Flender, before turning back and soaring into the sky and heading toward the Great Star Dou Forest.

Flender chuckled but remained silent.

Meanwhile, outside the small town near the Star Dou Great Forest, inside a hotel lobby.

"You're from that college? Do you even know who we are? I said get lost!" A group of young soul masters, aged around fifteen or sixteen and donned in distinctive school uniforms, glared at Dai Mubai and his group with anger.

The nine people including Wang Feng had just exited the small town with plans to find a hotel for rest and a meal, only to run into these troublemakers.

"Is this Blue Sunshine Academy?" Dai Mubai couldn't help but sneer, "You guys, seriously think we'll just get lost because you said so? Who do you all think you are?"

Laughter erupted in the restaurant and even Wang Feng couldn't help but crack a smile. To be frank, this wasn't totally Blue Sunshine Academy fault and Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had muttered some derogatory comments upon seeing the blue Sunshine Academy students. Those comments, sounding something like 'trash', reached the ears of the blue Sunshine Academy students, who naturally took offense to it.

However, Shrek Seven Devils were not one to be easily intimidated.

Dai Mubai's words instantly infuriated several Blue Sunshine Academy students, who marched towards him.

Three soul rings illuminated on the approaching student from the Blue Sunshine Academy body, one white and two yellow.

"It's indeed a bit trash... that white soul ring."

Wang Feng shook his head, surrounded by his group of formidable individuals, with himself being the most extraordinary among them. 

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dai Mubai who had been simmering with frustration for the past couple of days because of the matter with Zhu Zhuqing. When he saw a few individuals approaching, their martial souls activated and he promptly knocked them down brutally.

This commotion drew the attention of all the Blue Sunshine Academy students.

"Hehe, a brawl! My favorite! Brother Feng, Xiao San let's have some fun!" At that moment, Xiao Wu sprang into action.

She strolled up to the group of Blue Sunshine Academy students, feigning shyness. 

"Come, I'd love to play with you!" one student cheerfully responded, falling for her act.

However, as he approached Xiao Wu, she leaped high into the air and unleashed a powerful kick.

"Fuc* you!" Xiao Wu exclaimed as she pounced on the group of students. With her robust physique and exceptional agility, she effortlessly executed a variety of intricate moves. Sending all students flying.

In the end, these students found themselves in a tangled heap on the ground, unable to break free.

"You've gone too far!" A Blue Sunshine Academy student rebuked, his tone icy. 

"Are you not afraid of making enemies with us?"

"Afraid, us?" Wang Feng stepped forward with a smile. "Well, everyone, show them the power of Shrek Academy. Let them know we can and will do as we please."

Wang Feng had barely finished speaking when Ma Hongjun was the first to leap forward, revealing his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul as his two yellow soul rings sprung forth. Then, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar and finally Dai Mubai, all displayed their soul rings.

The seven of them illuminated the entire restaurant with the brilliance of their soul rings, leaving the student spectators pale-faced. These weren't just any soul rings configuration, they were all hundred-year-old soul rings, with one even being purple. It was a dazzling sight.

Blue Sunshine Academy, which had come to assist a 30th-level soul master in obtaining his third soul ring, suddenly realized that these younger girls and boys were incredibly formidable, with some even possessing Soul Elder status and thousand-year-old soul rings!

"Enough! What college do you all belong to?" A middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward, gazing at Wang Feng's group, pulling the bewildered student behind him. He asked calmly, "I am Ye Zhiqiu, director of the college's foreign affairs department of Blue Sunshine Academy."

Dai Mubai glanced at the middle-aged man and replied casually, "Shrek Academy."

"Shrek Academy? Never heard of it!" Ye Zhiqiu furrowed his brows. It was indeed an unfamiliar name.

He shook his head, sneered and then looked at the group. 

"Since you're trying to suppress others, don't blame me!"

"Black Turtle, possession!"

Suddenly, a colossal tortoise slowly materialized behind Ye Zhiqiu's, an awe-inspiring sight. Simultaneously, five soul rings promptly emerged beneath his feet – one white, two yellow and two purple! To everyone's astonishment, he was a Soul King with more than fifty levels!

In an instant, the radiance emanating from Ye Zhiqiu's five soul rings overshadowed the power of the seven Shrek Academy members. The seven took a step back, their eyes fixed on Ye Zhiqiu in disbelief.

Who would have thought that Blue Sunshine Academy had a Soul King!

"Bring your teacher!" Ye Zhiqiu said calmly, "Kids, I don't wish to harm you."

"Teacher? Are you implying Teacher Zhao? We can handle you all just fine! Besides, what can a Soul King do to us?" Fatty Ma chuckled a few times, refusing to back down. Despite his apparent lack of momentum, he refused to appear weak.

"Very well!" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback and couldn't help but chuckle. 

"Then today, I, Ye Zhiqiu will impart some lessons on behalf of your teacher! Follow me outside!"

With that, he led the Blue Sunshine Academy students out of the establishment.

"Are we really going to fight?" Tang San contemplated, "The Black Turtle martial soul likely grants him formidable defensive capabilities. It might be challenging to inflict harm on him but it's not impossible compared to teacher Zhao."

As master disciple, Tang San possessed deep knowledge of various martial soul.

"Furthermore," he continued, "he has a defensive martial soul, so his offensive power would likely not be particularly strong and his speed might be sluggish. It's akin to how we dealt with Teacher Zhao but more easier."

Tang San laid out a plan, "Hence, the best approach is for me, Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to provide restraint, while Xiao Wu takes the lead in attacking. Ma Hongjun will be the primary attacker from the distance because his Evil Fire Phoenix is fire-based and the Black Turtle belongs to the water element. Fire and water are mutually opposite of each othe! Oscar's sausages will help us buy time and keep him occupied!"

After listening, everyone nodded in agreement, finding the plan quite reasonable.

"Fear is useless!" Fatty Ma exclaimed as he walked out. 

"Even if the odds are slim, we have to fight! Shrek Academy doesn't back down! Besides... we still have Brother Feng with us!"

Everyone suddenly remembered and turned their gaze towards Wang Feng.

Tang San silently thought to himself, 'I didn't mention Brother Feng earlier because if he intervenes, it's like having all seven of us teaming up. With him in the mix, victory is assured no matter what.'

Since finishing his words, Wang Feng had been calmly indulging in the dishes on the table.

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, a peanut that Wang Feng was holding slipped from his fingers.

Everyone stared at him.

"What's going on?" Wang Feng asked in confusion. "You guys go fight, I can analyze things for you."

With that, Wang Feng rose from his seat and continued, "Tang San is correct, it's challenging for you to harm him. Moreover, if I had a Black Turtle martial soul, my speed would be a weakness, which might lead me to choose to limit your soul skills, much like Teacher Zhao's gravity enhancement."

"So, I speculate that this old guy's soul ability might have wide-range control and his Black Turtle soul belongs to the water element. Thus, it likely involves freezing control."

"At the same time, since his speed is slow, he'd probably possess long-range attack soul skills to handle enemies."

Wang Feng smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of a Black Turtle spraying water? So, it's likely a soul ability similar to water projection."

Hearing this, Fatty Ma grinned slyly, "I've not only heard of it but I've also seen it in action! But it wasn't a Black Turtle per say..."

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.

'This bastard!'

Wang Feng cleared his throat and continued, "In general, most defensive martial souls possess soul abilities that hinder melee combatant. He's bound to have control effects like freezing. Once you get close, he'll make you unable to use your skills dramatically."

After listening, everyone fell into contemplation.

"Brother Feng, can you really analyze his soul ability so perfectly?" Tang San asked, surprised.

'Analyze my foot!'

Wang Feng thought to himself, I read the original work, so I have a rough idea of Ye Zhiqiu's strength and ability, which is why I'm telling you all this in advance. But it does add a bit of strategy and analysis to the mix.

Of course, nobody knew this and they were equally amazed. Does this mean Wang Feng's can analyze the abilities of others so easily?

As they listened, it all sounded quite reasonable...

"Enough talking, let's go. If things get tough, I'll step in again, alright?" Wang Feng assured the seven.
