After the soul fight ended, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling returned to the VIP box where the Royal Fighting Team was.
"Cheng Xiao, are you okay?"
As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Xiao saw Qin Ming's concerned look, and his heart warmed slightly. He shook his head and smiled softly: "It's okay, those hidden weapons can't hurt me."
Hearing this, Qin Ming finally felt relieved. If something happened to Cheng Xiao, that would be real trouble.
"Oh my, Cheng Xiao, you're so handsome!" Seeing Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling sitting down, Yu Feng flashed in front of Cheng Xiao, his eyes sparkling with admiration, and said: "When you protected Lingling, you were so handsome, even the boss couldn't stand you!"
"And your shadow soul beast is simply an all-rounder!"
After saying this, Yu Feng looked down at the soldiers in Cheng Xiao's shadow and gave them a thumbs up.
After spending so much time with Cheng Xiao, everyone in the Royal Fighting Team has gained some understanding of the shadow soldiers, especially Yu Feng.
"Yufeng, if you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. What do you mean I can't compete with Cheng Xiao? Do you think I don't want to compete?" After hearing Yufeng's words, Yu Tianheng said it with an unhappy look on his face.
He wanted to do something cool, like being a hero saving a beautiful girl or protecting Dugu Yan, but the problem was, he and Dugu Yan had never lost in any double spirit duel and had never been at a disadvantage.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing." Looking at the noisy crowd, Qin Ming cleared his throat, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and said, "Everyone has worked hard tonight. I won't participate in today's team fighting spirit. If you want to go out and play tonight, that's fine, but tomorrow's training can't be delayed. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone in Huangdou said in unison.
A moment later, everyone from the Royal Fighting Team walked out of the Soto Fighting Soul Arena. Yu Tianheng went shopping with Dugu Yan, Osro and Yu Feng followed them, the Shi brothers returned to the hotel to practice, and Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling were taken by Qin Ming to a restaurant for dinner.
The three of them stood at the fork in the street, looking at the restaurant that Qin Ming had chosen in advance but was already full in silence.
"Um, Cheng Xiao, Lingling, you two wait here for a while, I'll go take a look." Qin Ming touched his nose awkwardly, walked into the endless stream of people, and squeezed in with all his might.
Looking at Qin Ming's back as he disappeared into the crowd, Ye Lingling suddenly said, "Teacher Qin Ming...is a little different from other soul masters."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled calmly and said, "He is a little different. Compared to those soul masters who claim to be superior, he is a breath of fresh air in the soul master world."
At this moment, a loud eagle cry resounded through the sky, and then a middle-aged man fell from the sky and landed in front of Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling.
The moment he saw the person coming, Cheng Xiao dodged and protected Ye Lingling behind him, and then asked coldly: "Does the dean of Shrek Academy intend to stand up for his students in public?"
"Shrek Academy?" Ye Lingling, who was protected by Cheng Xiao behind her, was slightly stunned. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember it.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with a very sturdy figure, dressed in black, and wearing a pair of black-framed crystal glasses. He was none other than the dean of Shrek Academy, Flanders, a level 78 Cat-Eagle Battle Soul Saint. "Since you know my name, how dare you be so cruel to our Shrek Academy students?" Flanders frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him could recognize his identity.
"It is rumored that the dean of Shrek Academy is famous for protecting his subordinates. After meeting him today, the truth of the rumor has been confirmed." Cheng Xiao said calmly with a calm face.
"Do I need to tell you? If the younger one is beaten, the older one will naturally stand up and seek justice. What's more, I am the dean of Shrek Academy. If you beat up a student of our academy, you will definitely be beaten."
As he finished speaking, seven soul rings gradually rose on Flanders' body, two yellow, two purple, and three black, moving rhythmically up and down.
Seeing Flanders releasing his spirit ring, Cheng Xiao did not intend to resist. He opened his arms and said calmly, "Come on, Dean Flanders, since you want to stand up for your students, then beat me up. Anyway, it won't be long before your Shrek Academy will no longer exist."
"What did you say!" Hearing this, the smile on Flanders' face suddenly disappeared, and then there was a cold look and full of murderous intent, "Boy, I advise you to make your words clear, otherwise, you will not just get a beating today."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao just smiled but didn't say anything. His dark purple eyes looked calmly at Flanders, who was showing murderous intent, but he didn't speak a word.
Seeing Cheng Xiao's indifferent look, Flanders sensed something was wrong. Normally, when a low-level spirit master meets a high-level spirit master, they would be very cautious. But the boy in front of him gave people a strange feeling.
Before coming, Flanders had already learned Cheng Xiao's identity from Master and Tang San, so he dared to come here to arrest him in a high-profile manner. But now, he feels that the information is not right.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Flanders walked towards Cheng Xiao step by step, with the huge eagle wings on his back spread out, his pupils erected, his hands in claw shape, giving a full sense of oppression.
"Afraid of you? Of course I'm afraid. You're a Soul Saint who can kill me with just one slap." Looking at Flanders who was walking towards him step by step, Cheng Xiao pretended to be afraid and took two steps back. However, there was no fear in his purple eyes that Flanders wanted to see.
In other words, the young man in front of him was trying to blast him, but the other party was doing the same. The more hesitant he became, the more he thought, "If he said he wanted to cause trouble for himself, it would be fine, but if he wanted to cause trouble for Shrek Academy, that was something he didn't want to see at all. This was also the fundamental reason for his hesitation."
Flanders was also a little annoyed by the boy in front of him. He stared at Cheng Xiao's calm face, was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Boy, you must be trying to seduce me. No matter if there is someone behind you or not, you are bound to be beaten today!"
After he finished speaking, a huge pressure burst out from Flanders' body. The moment he felt the pressure, Cheng Xiao felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, and he wanted to kneel down uncontrollably.
"With your current strength, you still want to resist the pressure of a Soul Saint?" Flanders chuckled, and the pressure emanating from his body became heavier and heavier. He did not release all of it, but merely locked onto Cheng Xiao's aura. He wanted to see how this kid could dare to challenge a Soul Saint.
The pressure on his back became heavier and heavier. Cheng Xiao's legs could not stop shaking. The shadow power in his body was running wildly, and the sacred energy in his body also began to run at a high speed.
Just when Cheng Xiao was about to have the shadow soldiers collectively kill Flanders, a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Dean Flanders, long time no see."
