Chapter 134.

At this critical juncture, the three Soul Douluo from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy also stepped forward, addressing Dugu Bo coldly,

"We three are also here to exchange knowledge and witness your formidable skills, Dugu Bo. Prince Xue Xing, mark my words. While you hold the authority, if you disregard our counsel, we will undoubtedly bring this matter in front of the majesty."

Afterward, the three deans, also released their martial souls. Mengshen Ji's martial soul a Black Demon, adorned with two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings. The other two Soul Douluo also displayed identical soul rings configuration, though they fell short of Dugu Bo's fifth black soul ring.

As the four faced off, the atmosphere grew extremely solemn. Even Prince Xue Xing found himself taken aback, not anticipating the resolute stance of the three deans of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy members in support of Shrek Academy. Regret flickered briefly, but retreat was not an option for him.

Amidst the tense silence, Flender prepared to speak. However, Wang Feng, who had been observing, stepped forward and spoke casually, "Thank you, three seniors, for standing for us. However, this is a matter of Shrek Academy. We don't wish to burden the three seniors."

His voice, though not loud, resonated across the audience. It left several people, including Grandmaster, puzzled about Wang Feng's intentions.

In a deeper tone, Wang Feng continued, "While we may not join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, humiliating Shrek is out of the question. We arrived with heads held high, and we shall depart in the same manner. We won't be forced out and humiliated by anyone!"

His words, resolute and potent, echoed through the ears of everyone present.

"Getting lost is getting lost, you want to walk with your head upright? Do you think our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is a vegetable market?" scoffed the youth beside Prince Xue Xing. "Who do you think you are?"

Ignoring the taunt, Wang Feng approached the three deans, facing Dugu Bo directly. "Senior, as a Titled Douluo, I, a junior at level 36, may not last five minutes under your guidance. However, I dare to seek your counsel. While your expertise lies in natural poison, surviving it or even countering it is within my capability."

"Can you, then admit defeat and allow Shrek Academy to depart from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy with our heads held high today?" Wang Feng's gaze remained fixed on Poison Douluo.

An unprecedented silence hung in the air. All eyes turned to the young man who had just spoken. Expressions of shock, horror, and disbelief painted the faces of onlookers. Even the three Soul Douluos couldn't fathom the audacity of this 13-year-old kid.

Members of Shrek Academy, staring at their peer, wore a mixture of horror and disbelief. Flender, as well as Grandmaster, bore an expression of incredulity. Yet, in this moment, Wang Feng's words reignited a dormant fire within their hearts.

The Seven Shrek Devils further behind, even felt their scalps tingling, their blood surged with intensity. Except for Xiao Wu, who was in extremely bad condition, all eyes were fixed on Wang Feng with fervent admiration.

"The backbone of our Shrek Academy cannot be bent by anyone," Wang Feng whispered, and these words seemed to instantaneously ignite the fire within them.

"Wang Feng..." Ning Rongrong watched with eyes brimming with enthusiasm, eager to stand out at this moment.

"Brother Feng said it right! Our Shrek Academy cannot be bent by anyone!" Tang San declared, giving Prince Xue Xing a cold stare.

"Even if we were to leave, we would do so with heads held high and chests puffed out on our own condition, not by someone forcefully!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face also flushed, she took a deep breath, and though she remained silent, the determination in her eyes was unmistakable.

"You have to face at least two attacks." Dugu Bo thought for a moment before laughing.

"Agreed!"

This prompt and resolute response came almost the very next second after Dugu Bo's statement. Even Dugu Bo himself was momentarily taken aback. It could be considered the most astonishing request he'd encountered since attaining the strength of Titled Douluo.

A Soul Elder at the 36th level facing a Title Douluo and agreeing to take two attacks?

Not only enduring Dugu Bo's poison but also challenging him to withstand two of his moves?

All to allow Shrek Academy to depart from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy with dignity.

The true significance extended beyond mere appearances—it was a matter of preserving their dignity.

Shrek Academy wasn't being forced out, they chose to leave with heads held high, not out of humiliation and helplessness. The disparity was immeasurable.

"I'll give you a few minutes, my Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom is intolerable even for the three Soul Douluo and those teachers behind you," Dugu Bo remarked admiringly, looking at Wang Feng with a touch of pity.

Flender and others wore a dark expression, but they couldn't refute the statement.

Prince Xue Xing considered interjecting but decided against it. A thirty-sixth-level Soul Elder, let alone enduring two moves from Dugu Bo, wouldn't even withstand the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison alone.

Wanting to leave Heaven Dou Imperial Academy with heads held high—indeed, a lofty aspiration but not a realistic one.

The youth on the side also smiled, looking at Wang Feng with a venomous expression, acknowledging the audacity of the challenge.

He truly couldn't fathom how such a seemingly foolish teenager dared to take took moves from a Titled Douluo, let alone propose such an implausible request.

"He's a courageous kid," sighed Mengshen Ji.

"The backbone of Shrek Academy can't be bent, I don't know how many of our students in our academy will be able to do or even say this. Regardless of the outcome, in this aspect, those noble children are incomparable to these young lads."

"Too bad they were turned away by Prince Xue Xing!" Zhi Lin expressed frustration.

"It's utterly foolish! This kid, has such a strong character at a young age, it's no wonder Shrek Academy can cultivate genuine monster geniuses."

"I wonder when we'll have a student like that at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy," Bai Baoshan shook his head and sighed.

As for the outcome, the three Soul Douluo had minimal expectations. A thirty-sixth level Soul Elder couldn't possibly withstand two moves from a Titled Douluo, especially when dealing with the Poison Douluo's toxins. Premature death seemed inevitable.

Yet, the unwavering backbone earned him their admiration.

Die?

Wang Feng pondered silently. Though he spoke out fueled by unusual anger, his heart was unusually calm. Without further thought, he took a deep breath, and as a golden lotus bloomed in his palm, surrounded by dark purple soul rings.

"[Deification]!" Wang Feng declared with a low cry. A petal of the golden lotus, enveloped in lightning, shattered into strands of golden light and descended on him. Instantaneously, Wang Feng's entire body was filled with thunder-like energy, radiating a dazzling golden light, resembling a deity that has descended to the world.

"Senior, please," Wang Feng requested, speaking calmly.

He didn't unleash all his soul rings. The rationale was simple—the presence of Prince Xue Xing and the youth. Revealing them might lead to troublesome rumors. On the Shrek Academy side, trustable individuals existed, including the three Soul Douluo. Only these two needed caution after all this Dugu Bo will be their trustable guardian in the future.

The thousand-year soul ring didn't surprise the few who knew, as a genius at the Soul Elder level naturally possessed a purple thousand-year soul ring. To everyone else, it appeared as if this were Wang Feng's third soul ring.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Feng's various forms of Chaos Green Lotus had distinct soul rings, allowing him to control the appearance individually to confuse his adversaries.

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent!"

Observing Wang Feng's selective release of his soul rings, Dugu Bo also didn't hesitate. Everyone had their secrets, and if one chose not to reveal all their soul rings, the consequences were on them.

Without delay, a large green snake materialized behind Dugu Bo. A potent poisonous odor emanated from this martial soul, and its emerald coloured body seemed capable of swallowing life with its mere gaze.

"Go!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, commanding the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to release a thick and extremely poisonous mist directly toward Wang Feng. Cleverly controlled by Dugu Bo, the poisonous mist targeted only Wang Feng, sparing the others who had stepped back.

However, the poisonous stench was very overpowering, causing discomfort and nausea, particularly among the girls from Shrek Academy. Even Flender had to channel his soul power to resist the toxic effects of the odor.

"It's terrifyingly poisonous," commented Zhao Wuji, his face turning blue.

"Tang San, can you counteract this poison?"

Tang San regarded the Jde Phsophorous Serpent Poison with great seriousness. Compared to the Emperor team's Dugu Yan from earlier, the Jade Phosphorous Violet Poison of Dugu Bo's martial soul was on an entirely different level. Its toxicity was incomparable, especially considering the relationship between toxicity and cultivation level. With Dugu Bo's strength, even the Soul Douluo would struggle to resist this Poison.

As the poisonous mist enveloped Wang Feng, the group's faces turned pale.

"Wang Feng!" Ning Rongrong's complexion drained of color. She had been thrilled and exhilarated just moments ago, but now witnessing Wang Feng trapped in the poisonous fog, genuine worry gripped her.

"It can be counteracted, but it will take some time... I just don't know if brother Feng can endure it till then! This type of poison, even a thirty-sixth-level Soul Elder, wouldn't survive more than a second or two. I'm afraid they'll turn into a pool of blood..." Tang San spoke with stark honesty.

If it were only Dugu Yan's poison, given Feng'ge's strength, he could endure for an extended period of time. However, Dugu Bo was different. It was evident they held nothing back and cared little for the younger generation. Being a Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo was inherently ruthless, showing no consideration for their plight.

Hearing Tang San's words, the others couldn't help but want to avert their gaze, unable to witness the ordeal any longer.

Flender, seeing the distressing scene, wanted to intervene but was halted by Grandmaster.

"Xiao Gang!" Flender exclaimed angrily.

"Wang Feng might be right, I understand, but I can't let him endure this as a child, even if it costs us the backbone of Shrek Academy, I don't care!"

"If you act now, everything Xiao Feng has endured will be in vain," Grandmaster glanced at him calmly. "I'm concerned as well, but all we can do at this point is wait for the outcome. I have some confidence in him."

Flender sighed in dejection, berating himself for not being strong enough, not being a Titled Douluo.

"He's likely to turn into a pool of blood, isn't he?" the young man smirked.

Prince Xue Xing frowned but remained silent, directing a stern glare at Xue Beng. He had to concede that the qualities and character displayed by that child was way better than someone like Xue Beng.

Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, also held their breathes, and felt the rush of blood to their heads.

Dugu Bo, too, was taken aback after poisonous mist dissipated and Wang Feng can be seen unharmed.
