Chapter 6 Mubai, we don't have to be so estranged_1

```

Boom!

Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded as he watched the dazzling thunderbolts.

The Thunder Emperor could act as the executor of heavenly punishment!

Although Qin Xiao wasn't powerful enough to act as the executor of heavenly punishment, thunder was still thunder, and its destructive power wasn't something that an ordinary person could withstand.

Zhao Wuji was completely engulfed by thunderbolts within a hundred meters of him, and his figure was buried by the lightning, with only his intermittent screams coming through.

"Lift a hand to suppress a Soul Sage, is this the might of a Titled Douluo?"

Tang San murmured softly in a voice he could hear, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Qin Xiao.

He seems stronger than most of the Titled Douluos I've met... Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with deep wariness.

Dai Mubai and Oscar involuntarily shrank their necks. It was better to stay as far away from such a powerful being as possible.

After a long while, the incense stick finally burned out.

The Thunder Pool dissipated, and Zhao Wuji's figure reappeared before everyone.

Could this be any worse?

Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of Zhao Wuji dressed in tattered clothes, with his face pitch-black.

No.

To be precise, his exposed skin seemed to be covered with a layer of black paint.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for showing mercy."

Zhao Wuji bowed respectfully to Qin Xiao from afar.

However, as he spoke, black smoke seemed to be billowing out of his mouth...

Qin Xiao nodded slightly.

Zhao Wuji should thank him. If he hadn't reduced the power of his soul skill, Zhao Wuji probably wouldn't have a shred left after such a long time under the thunder.

"May I ask if I have now passed the test?"

Qin Xiao asked again.

Test?

Zhao Wuji was first taken aback, then immediately caught on and nodded like a pecking chicken, "Passed, passed."

[Ding, congratulations on you and your teammates barely managing to endure under Zhao Wuji for the duration of an incense stick by working together, passing the test...]

Barely managing?

After hearing the System notification, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Zhao Wuji in the distance, who had endured for a considerable time under his own Thunder Pool, it was indeed a close call.

As for his teammates?

Heh, they were only there to make up the numbers.

If not for completing the mission, Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered to bring them along.

[Reward for mission has been distributed.]

Following that, Qin Xiao felt his power grow once more.

Very nice.

However, he noticed another problem.

"System, why is there no new mission?"

He questioned inwardly.

[Although you barely passed Zhao Wuji's test, it consumed a great deal and left you with minor injuries and in poor condition; you're currently unfit to undertake missions, it is recommended that you rest first.]

I was injured in my battle with Zhao Wuji?

Don't make such an insulting assumption.

Zhao Wuji was almost hammered to death by me, okay?

Qin Xiao's blood pressure rose, "What level of strength do I possess?"

[91st level Titled Douluo.]

"Then would I get injured fighting a Soul Sage?"

[Theoretically, it should not happen, but your host body is in poor condition, it is recommended that you rest first.]

Qin Xiao: '....'

However.

Zhao Wuji, standing in the distance, shuddered, not knowing why, but he felt a killing intent coming from Qin Xiao.

"Dai Mubai, you brat, aren't you going to take His Highness to rest? Can't you see how harsh the sun is?"

"Right, take His Highness to our academy's presidential suite specially used for entertaining distinguished guests."

"I'll personally see to His Highness's accommodations later."

He hastily instructed Dai Mubai.

He thought it best to send this fearsome deity away as soon as possible.

"Yes."

Dai Mubai's heart trembled, and he quickly said to Qin Xiao, "Your Highness, please follow me."

```

Alright. I'll rest first.

I'll check later to see what other tricks the System is playing.

Qin Xiao nodded and followed Dai Mubai to the distance.

However, the look he gave Xiaowu as he left almost scared her into fainting...

Watching Qin Xiao disappear from his sight, Zhao Wuji unconsciously wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

It was too terrifying.

He was, after all, a Soul Sage and considered a strong person in his own right. He had even once gloriously broken through the encirclement of Martial Soul Hall's siege.

Later on, he managed to escape the pursuit of the old gorilla from the Clan of Strength as well.

But he felt that all the dangers he had faced before were nothing compared to today's events.

No.

They weren't worth a fart.

He felt like an ant, one that Qin Xiao could crush to death with just the extension of a finger...

"What, do I amuse you?"

Zhao Wuji, with a dark expression, looked at the others who were struggling to suppress their laughter.

"No, not at all..."

Oscar felt an invisible hand squeezing his throat, and his heart rose to his throat.

For him, Zhao Wuji was like a devil...

And Ning Rongrong, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others also became serious.

"What are you looking at, come on, it's you. When I was sparring with His Highness just now, you all just stood there like ornaments, completely useless. Now I've decided to re-evaluate you all."

Zhao Wuji extended his hand and swept it over the group, speaking solemnly.

"What?"

"A re-evaluation?"

Ning Rongrong immediately complained.

"What? If anyone has objections, they can leave now."

"Shrek Academy needs obedience, not questions!"

Zhao Wuji said sternly.

"You..."

Ning Rongrong frowned, normally, she would consider leaving.

After all, as the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, not to mention Ning Fengzhi, even the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo treated her as their treasure.

Who had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone?

However, upon reflection, this academy had managed to attract a Titled Douluo who was only eighteen years old. Her anger dissipated greatly, replaced with curiosity.

"I'm not leaving yet, I want to see what secrets this academy is hiding."

Thinking thus, a sparkling little pagoda emitting a rainbow light appeared in her hand.

"Oh, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda?"

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, "Interesting."

...

"Your Majesty the Thunder Emperor."

"This is the highest-ranking accommodation we have in our academy."

Elsewhere, Dai Mubai led Qin Xiao to a two-story building.

It must be said, even the so-called presidential suite was quite shabby.

But Qin Xiao was not someone pampered, the environment where he cultivated on the solitary peak was much worse than this.

Moreover, he was well aware that his purpose in coming to Shrek was not to enjoy luxury but to complete the dog System's mission and enhance his own strength.

"Mubai, we are about the same age, so there is no need for you to be so distant as to call me Your Majesty the Thunder Emperor."

Qin Xiao said, smiling at Dai Mubai who was showing him the way.

"Really?" Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with surprise.

How could he not be excited?

He felt that Qin Xiao was taking an initiative to be friendly with him. Moreover, for him, the appreciation of a Titled Douluo was especially important...

After all, he also had another identity – that of a prince of the Xingluo Empire.

If he could form a relationship and gain support from this His Highness, the benefits would be too many to count.

In just an instant, many thoughts were born in his mind.

However, at that moment Qin Xiao spoke again, "Just like them, you can call me Your Highness. There's no need to mention the Thunder Emperor unless absolutely necessary."

"I prefer to keep a low profile," he added.

What?

Dai Mubai was somewhat stunned. This script was different from what he had imagined!
