"Xiao Ao?"
Flender's expression changed when he made out the figure running back through the door.
Zhao Wuji reacted swiftly, blinking as he shot to the door and supported Oscar's shoulders.
He asked urgently, "Xiao Ao, weren't you out for breakfast, who has injured you like this?"
Oscar, at this moment, looked pitiful. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his body reeked of scorching, the gaping wounds still trickling blood, and his tattered clothes bore footprints.
His peach blossom eyes were filled with panic as he called out anxiously, "Teacher Zhao, Dean! Dai Mubai and the others have been taken, we need to rescue them quickly!"
Flender rose from his seat slamming the table with a roar, "Such gall, who dares to lay hands on my Shrek's people in Soto City, they must be tired of living."
A fierce look flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes as he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ao, who did this to you? Don't be afraid, the teachers will surely stand up for you."
Oscar seemed to have been frightened, fear evident in his eyes.
"It was a group of young people, each one stronger than level 35, slightly older than us. They were ruthless! Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun teamed up but were swiftly suppressed."
Zhao Wuji was shocked, "Are there really such powerful youths in Soto City?"
Oscar's breath was rapid, "Absolutely true, I didn't see it wrong. Each of them was very strong, their Martial Soul qualities were definitely not low, and the leader was especially domineering."
"Domineering or not, it doesn't matter!" Zhao Wuji's eyes reddened, "Anyone who touches my Shrek's people will pay the price."
"Hurry up, take me to them!"
"Old Zhao, hold on, don't be impulsive, let me get to the bottom of this," Flender interjected, "Xiao Ao, tell me, what were their Martial Souls?"
"The leader's Martial Soul was a Tyrannosaurus surrounded by purple lightning. The thunder and qi and blood were incredibly formidable, way stronger than Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes White Tiger."
Zhao Wuji and Flender exchanged a shocked look and exclaimed:
"To suppress Mubai, could it be the descendant of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, the number one beast martial soul lineage in Douluo?"
"Why would the heirs of their clan come to a small place like Soto City?"
Zhao Wuji, who was initially full of fury and dragging Oscar out to settle the score, quieted down at the mention of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan's members.
"How did you guys provoke them?"
Oscar hung his head low, not speaking.
"What time is it now, and you're still not coming clean?" Flender scolded sharply.
Oscar's shoulders trembled as he hesitantly confessed.
"Originally, the three of us boys were planning to have breakfast with Ning Rongrong."
"All the way there, Ning Rongrong gave Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun the cold shoulder. Feeling frustrated, they changed targets and took a fancy to two pretty girls on the street, whistling at them."
"That's when the trouble started, their male companions came looking for us."
"Can't you guys put up a bit of a fight!" Flender and Zhao Wuji turned ashen, shaking with anger.
So it turns out after all this talk, they were in the wrong.
Oscar begged, "Teacher Zhao, please go save them, those people look like no easy bunch."
"Save, my ass. Is saving people that easy?" Flender ground his teeth, "Think with your brain, you have a background, why wouldn't they?"
"So many little geniuses walking out at the same time, they must be guarded by at least one Soul Douluo or higher. If your Teacher Zhao and I rashly head over, we could end up kneeling there repenting with you guys."
"Then... what do we do? Are we just going to leave them there?" Oscar asked anxiously.
"Old Flander, what do we do!" Zhao Wuji furrowed his thick brows.
Flender spoke gravely, "The fact that they captured people so boldly means they're not to be trifled with; going there would most likely bring more harm than good."
"No matter how dangerous, we can't just abandon our students."
Feeling the enormity of the situation, Zhao Wuji and Flender both sunk into anxiety.
Suddenly, their spirits lifted as they looked at each other.
Simultaneously, they turned their hopeful gaze to Luo Yu who was sitting beside them.
"Why are you two staring at me?" Luo Yu said, flabbergasted.
"We need a favor from you..." Just as Zhao Wuji began to speak,
"Hold it!"
Luo Yu stopped him from continuing and said coldly, "To harass an honest woman, they're getting what they deserve for being such scum. They're not even worth my effort to save."
"If I had been there, I might have hit them even harder than the other guy."
When Luo Yu rebuked them that way, Zhao Wuji and Flander did not dare show their dissatisfaction.
Flander played the pity card, looking at Luo Yu with hopeful eyes, "They're still Shrek students, after all. We can't just watch them suffer. I have to save them."
Luo Yu waved his hand, showing no intention of getting involved.
"You're welcome to go if you want, but I'm not interested in helping out."
"In fact, their behavior is also related to the lack of restraint you two have as teachers."
"So, you are also responsible for what happened today."
Flander turned red with embarrassment, but had nothing to say in response.
Zhu Zhuqing sneered from the side, her eyes brimming with disgust.
That Dai Mubai really hasn't changed his sleazy nature. I'm lucky I didn't end up with him; cutting off the engagement was the right move.
In terms of talent and character, he couldn't compare to my man at all.
Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes once again looked tenderly at the man beside her.
Seeing that even the dean lacked the confidence to launch a rescue, Oscar immediately turned to Luo Yu for help.
He had seen the extent of Luo Yu's strength.
"Please help them, Dai Mubai and the other did wrong, but Ning Rongrong is innocent. They took her too."
"Ning Rongrong was taken as well?"
Luo Yu was first startled, then realized.
The group Oscar encountered must be members of the Imperial Fighting Team.
I had helped Ning Rongrong deal with Dugu Yan before.
Could it be that because of Dai Mubai's trouble, they happened to notice Ning Rongrong and took her too?
Luo Yu's face grew increasingly colder.
I already showed mercy by sparing Dugu Yan once; does that woman dare to seek revenge with her people?
"Since they've all been taken, how did you escape?"
Oscar quickly answered, "I threatened them, saying that if they touched me, Shrek Academy would not let them off. They scoffed, told me to run back, and call for help if I want."
Hearing this, fists clenched audibly from Flander and Zhao Wuji.
"This is outrageous!"
Flander pleaded earnestly to Luo Yu, "They're so arrogant because they must have a strong backer. You must help us. Whatever you ask, I will fulfill."
Luo Yu remained silent.
Flander's gaze darkened, thinking the man still wouldn't help.
The next second, seeing Luo Yu slowly stand up, Flander was overjoyed.
"Are you going to help?"
Luo Yu neither confirmed nor denied it, and looked calmly at Oscar, asking, "Where are they?"
Oscar, also overjoyed, hadn't expected to actually mobilize this powerful figure.
He quickly answered, "The grand soul fighting arena!"
Luo Yu nodded, "Lead the way, let's go."
"I want to see just who is so audacious."
The man's calm tone seemed to infuse Oscar with boundless confidence.
Even Flander and Zhao Wuji wore happy expressions, feeling completely at ease.
Xiaowu and the Zhu Zhuqing sisters followed out of curiosity, mainly looking forward to seeing the man in action again.
The group quickly arrived at the grand soul fighting arena...
