Shrek, Reunion (3)

Dai Mubai sighed,

"Little Ao, that fellow, ordinarily he always seems to laugh and to giggle, but in fact, he has a very strong sense of self-respect. Moreover, he truly loves you. Back then, it was in order to be with you that he spent a lot more effort in cultivation than us. Ten years, I hope these ten years are good to him."

Zhu Zhuqing pulled the sobbing Ning Rongrong to her chest, angrily saying to Dai Mubai:

"Talk a bit less. Rongrong's already suffered enough. This can't be blamed on her, it's only fortune playing with men."

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong's crying grew even more severe. In the past five years she's always made a great effort to suppress her emotions, and now seeing the companions she'd once gone through life and death with, she was no longer able to restrain herself and unleashed the pain in her heart as much as she liked.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also hadn't expected that what should originally have been an extremely exciting reunion would develop into such a sorrowful scene. Ma Hongjun couldn't help saying:

"I wonder how the third brother and Xiao Wu are. They should be alright."

Dai Mubai's eyes revealed a trace of longing,

"Unfortunately, they don't know about our five-year reunion, we might not see them this time. Everyone is scattered all over, I don't know when we can meet again."

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was always the boss, but through their constant battles, Tang San had always become their core. If there was no Tang San, it would've simply been impossible for them to go that far in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. If each of the seven could be described as a monster, then Tang San was undoubtedly a monster among monsters.

Outsiders only saw Tang San as a genius, and only the Shrek Seven Devil's side knew just how talented he was. If Dai Mubai were to give Tang San one assessment, then he would only call it 'capable of everything.'

Zhu Zhuqing pulled in Ning Rongrong, consoling:

"Heaven helps the worthy, Rongrong, don't cry. Little Ao will definitely return safely. Didn't you agree to ten years? Wait for him at the sect. You have to have faith in him."

Ning Rongrong said distressed:

"Besides waiting, what can I do? I really regret letting him leave back then. Regret that I couldn't resist a bit more firmly. He's only a food system, Spirit Master! Without others to help him, it's basically impossible for him to even obtain spirit rings. It's all my fault."

"Who provoked our Rongrong to such grief?"

A clear and sonorous voice echoed from nowhere. This voice was somewhat unfamiliar to these four Shrek Seven Devils present. They were troubled because of Oscar, suddenly hearing the unfamiliar voice, and moreover coming from outside, they all couldn't help frowning.

Ning Rongrong's weeping came to rest, raising her head to look in the direction of the voice.

A youth more than one meter ninety tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back, built extremely proportionally, appeared in their line of sight. A set of white clothes seemed elegant and at ease, each casual movement displaying manners particular to nobility.

The handsome face wore a moderate smile, deep blue long hair quietly draped across his shoulders and a pair of eyes like sapphires filled with a somewhat extraordinary spirit.

Even Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong whose hearts were already taken, couldn't help but stare stupidly as they saw this youth. They discovered that they actually couldn't find the slightest flaw in this youth. No matter if it was temperament and appearance, or figure and voice, everything gave people a kind of casually perfect impression.

He didn't appear to be walking quickly but still reached them in a few steps.

His age was around twenty, but as geniuses among the young generation, the Shrek Four Devils had an impenetrable impression of this youth.

Perhaps it was because like repels like, but Dai Mubai took a step forward, standing furthest ahead of the four people. Evil eyes bursting with cold light, an intangible powerful aura mixed into that distinctive royal air and released without restraint, speaking coldly:

"Who are you?"

The blue-haired youth smiled faintly, walking up in front of the four,

"You really break my heart! Just five years have passed, but you don't recognize me? Boss Dai, is this your manner to your brother? Fatty, you've grown even fatter."

Dai Mubai was somewhat dazed. Going by the appearance, voice, and temperament of this youth in front of him, there absolutely wasn't such a person in his memory. But the familiarity of his words didn't seem fake. Especially hearing his voice would cause a familiar feeling to grow in his heart.

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong cried out in alarm,

"Ah! How come you have third brother's Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges?"

The girl was always comparatively observant. Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Dai Mubai's trio also immediately noticed the two top-quality spirit tools on the blue-haired youth's waist.

Dai Mubai's face immediately changed, his imposing manner growing steeply,

"Just who are you? How come you have little San's things?"

This blue-haired youth was naturally Tang San. However, he had changed far, far too much in these five years. Not only his appearance, along with the Blue Silver Emperor's second awakening, and gaining the two great domains, compared to five years ago, by now his temperament had already undergone a Heaven and earth revolting change. Dai Mubai naturally didn't recognize him.

Hearing the intense hostility and part anxiety in Dai Mubai's voice, Tang San couldn't help being secretly moved. Comrades were comrades, they were concerned for his safety!

No longer teasing everyone, Tang San earnestly said:

"Boss Dai, I'm Tang San!"

"You're Tang San?"

Dai Mubai stared at him with eyes wide.

Tang San hurriedly nodded. In order to get Dai Mubai to believe him, he specially displayed extreme sincerity. After the several elders had raised their three conditions to him at the Clear Sky Sect that day, they had at once carried out his ceremony for recognizing his ancestors and clan.

Even though he couldn't offer sacrifice for his dead grandfather, he had still at long last returned to the Clear Sky School.

The three tasks the sect had him do wasn't something that could be accomplished in a short time, and Tang San also felt that his distance to breaking through the sixtieth rank wasn't far.

Originally when the Shrek Seven Devils had separated, he and Xiao Wu left first, and naturally didn't know about the five-year reunion. But when he returned to the Shrek Academy while studying at the Moon Pavilion, Grandmaster had told him about it, and therefore he had first rushed over here to meet everyone.

Seeing the four again, everyone's appearance had changed somewhat, but they were still in the same mold, and right now his mood was also surging.

"Boss Dai, five years have passed, and we've all grown up. A bit of change is normal."

Even though Tang San knew what he said wasn't very persuasive, he still smiled wryly and said it.

Dai Mubai looked toward Ma Hongjun,

"Do you believe him?"

A cold light flickered in Ma Hongjun's little eyes,

"It'd be a wonder if I did. Let's catch him before anything else. He's got third brother's things, I'll see if he doesn't tell the truth with a bit of violence."

Even though they hadn't met for a few years, their former teamwork still flowed in their blood. As Ma Hongjun's words fell, Dai Mubai was already striking with a palm at Tang San's stomach. A profoundly vigorous aura instantly burst forth, compared to before, there was a somewhat expansive energy within his spirit power. Even though he didn't release his spirit, with this tiger palm of his, the air around Tang San had already become heavy and stinging.

Tang San was very helpless, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun basically didn't give him the chance to explain.

He was only too clear about Dai Mubai's strength. In a few years without seeing each other, this boss' strength should have progressed greatly again. Even he didn't dare take on the Evil Eye White Tiger's violent attack head-on.

His feet shifting slightly, Tang San had already slipped backward, both his hands swinging to either side, a simple motion of one up and one down.

Dai Mubai immediately felt an intense attractive force striking his spirit power sideways, falling into empty air.

But at this moment, Ma Hongjun had already released his spirit.

With an explosion, a vast flame abruptly soared from his body, fiery red splendor leaping up no less than five meters. Bizarrely, the clothes he wore didn't show the slightest sign of damage from this flame.

His gaze turned sharp, his hair extending from the back of his head in a Mohican, his entire body turning fiery red. At the same time, a pair of enormous fiery red wings unfurled from Ma Hongjun's back, his whole body grew a bit taller, and the excess fat also seemed to contract somewhat. Most peculiar was that his little eyes unexpectedly seemed to be giving off flames.

Two yellow, two purple, one black, five spirit rings moved neatly and rhythmically over him, the scorching heat brought by his tyrannical spirit power also made everything in his surroundings illusory, rippling like water.

"Good Fatty, you've improved a lot! Take a look at me too."

Dai Mubai shouted. Amidst a tiger's roar, an instant gale erupted, his golden hair instantly turning white, his body abruptly expanding, in the blink of an eye already more than two meters fifty tall, his whole body covered in white and black striped fur, two massive tiger palms extending, each finger ejecting a chi long golden blade. From him, besides valiance, one could still sense a wild aura, the fiercely swelling muscles already bursting through his clothes.

Two yellow, two purple, two black, a full six spirit rings appeared neatly over Dai Mubai. He had actually already broken through the sixtieth rank bottleneck, reaching the Spirit Emperor level.

Ma Hongjun couldn't help being alarmed:

"Boss is worthy of being the boss, you're a Spirit Emperor, I'm just fifty seventh rank. It seems my efforts haven't been enough!"
