Chapter 14: Arrogant Idiots of Blue Sunshine Academy

Zhou Hao took the lead and went inside the restaurant. He handed a few gold coins to the waiter at the front desk and said, "We have a large group, so go ahead and serve the food. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it." The eight of them found a table in the corner and sat down.

Dai Mu Bai looked at Zhou Hao naturally and said, "I'm the oldest, so I should have treated you all to this meal. Consider it a welcoming gesture."

Zhou Hao calmly sipped his tea and said, "It doesn't matter. It's all the same. You all enjoy your meal today and don't worry about saving me money. Tomorrow, when we enter the Star Dou Great Forest, who knows when we'll come out? We'll be relying on dry rations and jerky."

Ma Hongjun's chubby face was squished up from smiling, and his entire body of fat was trembling. After these two days of getting along, despite some difficulties and friction, overall, they were moving in a positive direction, and the atmosphere was quite good.

The restaurant was doing well, and even though it wasn't early, about sixty to seventy per cent of the seats were occupied. At this moment, a group of people arrived outside. They were dressed uniformly and looked similar to Zhou Hao's group—they were also a group of eight.

The leader was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. He had a handsome appearance, with slicked-back hair that looked excessively greasy and effeminate, reminding Zhou Hao of a certain high-quality male in his previous life. He wore an exquisite moon-white soul master robe with silver thread embroidery, and it shimmered as he walked.

Following the middle-aged man were six young men and one young woman, all wearing moon-white robes that seemed much plainer than the middle-aged man's. All eight of them had a blue circular emblem embroidered on their shoulders with the same inscription, "Cang Hui"

The restaurant owner hurried over to receive them, nodding and bowing with a very respectful attitude. It was evident that these people were a soul master team, and based on their attire, they were definitely well-off. Soul masters with money were naturally esteemed guests.

Zhou Hao looked at these ostentatious individuals and felt secretly annoyed. No wonder in the original plot, Dai Mubai called the Blue Sunshine Academy rubbish. They didn't have much strength, but they were experts at showing off.

"The old coquettish bastard with the back hair in the lead seems to be surnamed Ye, a pompous bastard who likes to spit ice." Zhou Hao recalled the events from the original storyline and wasn't surprised that they were going to clash with this arrogant individual.

Ma Hongjun's eyes narrowed as his gaze shifted towards the only girl in the other group. She was fair in appearance, but she was far from matching Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu. However, being a fully developed young woman at the age of twenty, she was quite tempting to Ma Hongjun, who had experienced the ways of the world.

Ma Hongjun stared at her with gleaming eyes, unable to contain his saliva. His gaze was fixed, and his lustful desires were almost overwhelming. Zhou Hao couldn't bear to watch and pulled him back.

"That girl looks pretty good, Boss Dai. They should be from the Blue Sunshine Academy," Ma Hongjun licked his lips, his face filled with excitement as he looked at Dai Mubai.

"Fatty, don't cause trouble. We're just here to have a meal. We have important matters tomorrow," Zhou Hao cautioned in a low voice after taking a bite of his food. The girls also glanced over, feeling a little displeased.

Zhou Hao remembered that Tang San and the others didn't gain any advantage against that arrogant fellow in the original plot. He didn't think it was necessary to provoke anyone. In the world of Spirit Masters, it was either eliminating threats or avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

However, Dai Mubai chuckled lightly and said, "The Dean said that only mediocre people avoid trouble. It's no big deal to provoke people from another Spirit Master academy. At most, we'll fight. Besides, it's just a small Blue Sunshine Academy."

But Zhou Hao thought to himself that as long as they didn't bother them, it was fine. If they dared to cause trouble, they should be properly beaten up.

Not far away, the group from Blue Sunshine Academy had already sat down. The girl glanced over at their table and whispered something in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man frowned, his face turning unpleasant.

Before long, two young men, wearing smirks, walked towards them under his instructions.

The members of the Shrek Academy remained calm, as if they were completely unaware, continuing to eat their food. A trace of contempt flashed in Dai Mubai's heterochromatic pupils. He stretched his neck a bit; there had been too many things happening these past two days, and he really wanted to beat someone up.

The two young men had an arrogant posture, appearing as if they had never experienced the harsh beatings of society. One of them patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder and said, "Hey, fatso, looking for trouble, huh? Where were your dog's eyes wandering just now? Oh, you guys have such beautiful little beauties here. Let me have a good look."

One of the two young men noticed the three girls and reached out towards the nearest one, Zhu Zhuqing. He regarded this table as a table of ordinary people and felt unrestrained in his actions due to his identity as a soul master.

Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws had already emerged, and in a flash of silver light, Zhou Hao's silver coin flew out and pinned the young man's hand tightly to a nearby pillar.

Ma Hongjun had already stood up and slammed the table. "This young master's eyes are on my own body. I'll look wherever I want. Where were your filthy hands reaching?"

"Ah! My hand, help me!" The young man couldn't care less about retorting; his screams made it difficult for him to catch his breath. The middle-aged man and the other students had already walked away.

The remaining person was a stubborn young man who continued to talk back, pointing at the emblem on his shoulder. "Take a good look, we are Soul Masters."

"Then Laozi is beating up Soul Masters," Dai Mubai's eyes flickered with cold light as he pounced forward, his pair of tiger claws directly hitting the young man's chest.

The young man was tall, but he couldn't withstand this blow at all. He was sent flying like straw, smashing several tables, and spewing a mouthful of blood upon landing. Fear filled his face as he realised that he had kicked an iron plate.

The restaurant was already in an uproar, and the customers scattered in all directions. Dai Mubai chuckled softly. "Sorry, it's been a while since I've hit someone. I lost control of my strength."

The remaining students on the other side were infuriated, their eyes turning red, but they were stopped by the middle-aged man.

"You brats are too arrogant. You're so ruthless with your attacks. Which academy are you from?"

"Want to know? You're not even worthy," Zhou Hao also stood up, leisurely finishing his last bite.

The middle-aged man was trembling with anger. "Teach these arrogant brats a lesson, no need to hold back!"

The remaining five students glared coldly and rushed forward. They were all outstanding students from the Advanced Spirit Master Academy, usually living pampered lives with high standards. They had never experienced such humiliation before.

The remaining Blue Sunshine Academy students activated their Martial Souls as they approached, and in an instant, ten Spirit Rings gleamed with brilliance, each person having one white and one yellow ring. Their Martial Souls were all ordinary.

Dai Mubai was always one to let his strength do the talking, and upon seeing this scene, his contemptuous expression intensified in his sinister gaze.

Zhou Hao smirked and said, "Are these the students of the so-called Advanced Soul Master Academy? Are they here to make fools of themselves? Brothers, reveal your martial souls and show them what we're made of." Ever since that person tried to harm Zhu Zhuqing earlier, Zhou Hao had no intention of holding back.

Zhou Hao, leading the way, instantly merged with his martial soul. A strong golden light burst forth from his body, and his arms extended simultaneously. His bones cracked and popped, and his muscles swelled up, almost bursting his clothes.

A terrifying golden bear shadow appeared behind him, his hands growing twice their size. The dark golden fur covered his entire body, and the metallic-like claws, each measuring eight inches long, flickered with a chilling light.

Two yellow and one purple Spirit Ring shone brilliantly behind him, overpowering the ten Spirit rings of the Blue Sunshine Academy. Before the middle-aged man could react, Zhou Hao's body was already radiating with dazzling light, illuminating the entire restaurant.

Evil-Eyed White Tiger, fusion!

Hell Civet, fusion!

Soft Boned Rabbit, fusion!

Evil Fire Phoenix, fusion!

In addition, the other three members, Blue Silver Grass, Sausage, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, also appeared in their hands.

The soul rings of everyone slowly rose from beneath their feet.

Sixteen yellow soul rings, and two purple soul rings, all in the perfect combination.

Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the surroundings.

"Which Academy are these geniuses from?"

"They're so young, yet they have six Spirit Grandmasters and two Spirit Elders. Can this really be achieved by humans?"

The pressure emanating from their high level martial souls made the faces of the Blue Sunshine Academy students instantly pale, and they took several steps back in fear. They stared in disbelief at the dazzling array of more than ten soul rings before them, unable to utter a word. The girl had already been scared to the point of sitting paralyzed on the ground.

One of Oscar's sausages flew into the hands of each person, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile emitted surging light, ready to amplify their powers at any moment. Especially Ma Hongjun, who was eager to try. Being called a fatso earlier had left him feeling dissatisfied. The fiery flames inside him surged, and the tension was about to erupt.
