Chapter 55: Peaking with Every Move_1

Dai Mubai, standing to the side, saw him groveling to Xu Sheng and covered his forehead speechlessly, "Is this really the Headmaster Flender I know?"

What exactly had Xu Sheng done to Headmaster Flender? To make him so scared!

Luckily, he hadn't offended Xu Sheng just now, otherwise Headmaster Flender would be a prime example to him.

Flender raised his head, forcing a smile, "That—Your Excellency Xu Sheng, I offended you this morning, I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Seeing him back down so much, Xu Sheng couldn't be bothered to pursue matters with Flender. After all, the Tang Destroying Face Fist he had delivered that morning had probably shadowed him till now, his face still a patchwork of blues and purples.

He glanced at Flender indifferently, "I'm not interested in how you are; I'm here just to check out this Shrek Academy of yours that only recruits monsters."

He believed Flender ought to understand what he meant, right?

However... as expected, he was disappointed...

All Flender did was step aside quietly and extend his hand respectfully, "If that's the case, then please go at your leisure, Your Excellency."

Those words made Xu Sheng's eyebrows twitch wildly...

He shouldn't have let him off just now; this guy couldn't even understand a simple sentence, he deserved to be beaten to death!

Indeed, bystanders see the game better than the players. The elder nearby saw Flender's action, coughed once and frantically signaled to Flender with his eyes...

Thinking anxiously to himself, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite him to enter Shrek!"

Usually the most emotionally intelligent Flender becoming like this, he was even more anxious than the latter who was actually the headmaster!

Upon hearing the reminder from the elder, Flender, looking at the elder eye-to-eye, suddenly struck his head...

He then awkwardly approached Xu Sheng with a forced laugh, "Your Excellency Xu Sheng, that was just a joke earlier. It's been a long journey, and it's getting late, why don't you rest at Shrek Academy for the night?"

Xu Sheng's mood finally settled, turned around to give Tang San Deng a glance, and then spoke coldly, "Since that's the case, I will impose then..."

The elder, smiling gleefully at Flender, said, "Headmaster, why don't you accompany His Excellency inside? I'll handle the little monster's assessment procedures later!"

Flender glared angrily at the elder and cursed inwardly, "The nerve of you! Don't you know how terrifying this guy is when he fights? And you're telling me to accompany him alone!"

Yet his face had to bear a most reluctant smile, "Your Excellency Xu Sheng, please follow me. Although our Shrek Academy doesn't have much to offer, we're not so poor as to lack a place to rest."

Damn it, so what if he's a Titled Douluo, just finish resting and get lost!

Xu Sheng didn't reply, his cold gaze sweeping deeply towards Xiaowu next to Tang San...

Xiaowu's eyes met Xu Sheng's and, trembling, she couldn't help but shrink quietly behind Tang San...

She thought to herself nervously, "This Xu Sheng has surely seen my true form!"

Xu Sheng quietly withdrew his icy gaze, then nodded slowly, "Hmm."

Flender and Xu Sheng then left the Shrek admissions office and headed towards the actual academy...

It was only then that Tang San took Xiaowu into his arms, comforting her, "Xiaowu, were you just scared of Brother Sheng?"

He had seen Xiaowu's every move, but he hadn't inquired because of Xu Sheng.

Feeling the warmth of Tang San's embrace, Xiaowu felt the fear evaporating and finally answered, "Yeah..."

Seeing it was indeed the case, Tang San said tenderly, "Don't be afraid, Brother Sheng is actually a good person; it's probably just his Martial Soul that seems evil which affected you!"

Seeing such a mushy scene, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dai Mubai all had a sour look in their eyes.

Dai Mubai, who couldn't stand the PDA, reminded them, "Tang San, Xiaowu, how long are you two going to hug? The next assessment is about to start!"

With that, Xiaowu and Tang San, who had been tightly embracing, suddenly realized there were other people around and quickly let go...

The remaining Shrek instructors touched their own beards and sighed, "Such a lively bunch of little monsters indeed. Let's go, I'll take you to the fourth trial. Since we most likely won't be receiving any more students anyway."

...

"Lu Qibin, a 66-level control-class Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Star Luo Chessboard."

"Zhao Xin, a 71-level food class Soul Sage, Martial Soul: Sugar Bean."

"Together with the other two currently being assessed outside, they are Li Yusong, a direct-attack class Battle Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Dragon Pattern Staff, and Zhao Wuji, a 75-level direct-attack class Battle Soul Sage, Martial Soul, Great Strength King Kong Bear."

Headmaster Flender patiently introduced each of the Shrek Academy's teachers to Xu Sheng...

Lu Qibin asked in confusion, "Flender, and this person is...?"

Could it be a new student joining Shrek Academy?

The other teachers also felt that this was probably the case.

After all, Xu Sheng looked so young and didn't seem to be much of a formidable figure, but the boy did have an unusually attractive appearance.

Flender's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, the person beside me is none other than Xu Sheng himself, a Ninety-three-level auxiliary control twin-system Title Douluo, with the Martial Soul, Nine-Hearted Begonia, titled 'Mo Tang'!"

He certainly didn't want the teachers at his academy to anger Xu Sheng, only to be smashed one after another, just like he had been...

When they heard Flender say this, the other teachers began to doubt their own ears...

What did Flender just say?

This young man is already a Title Douluo?? And something about a twin-system auxiliary control?

Flender couldn't possibly be making this up, right?

Where is there such a thing as a twin-system auxiliary control? They had lived for half a lifetime and never seen such a thing.

Zhao Xin frowned, "Headmaster Flender, you're not telling a joke, are you? Even Title Douluo is praised to the skies."

Lu Qibin nodded in agreement, "This is a bad joke you're playing on us because we've been bored these past few days, right? How could such a wet-behind-the-ears kid possibly cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo?"

As soon as these words came out, Flender knew they were done for!

He silently moved back a bit, "This has nothing to do with me. I've already given you fair warning. You two can try out that feeling for yourselves now..."

A few strands of coldness flashed through Xu Sheng's eyes, "wet-behind-the-ears?"

With a slight clench of his hand, numerous vines of the Nine-Hearted Begonia surged up from the ground, directly engulfing Lu Qibin and Zhao Xin...

A few seconds later, the Nine-Hearted Begonia suddenly dissipated, leaving the two collapsed on the ground, looking incredulously at Xu Sheng...

The Soul Power on their bodies, in just the blink of an eye, was all absorbed by that eerie plant...

Is this the power of a Title Douluo level?

If there were hundreds or even thousands of them, under such terrifying power, they too could be turned into piles of White Bone within minutes!

The two with numb legs helped each other stand up, each of them respectfully saying, "Lord Xu Sheng, we were disrespectful, rashly passing judgment on you!"

On the side, Flender helplessly shrugged his shoulders, thinking to himself, "I told you, but you just had to learn the hard way to be happy."

If he hadn't himself been beaten up, why would he willingly play the sycophant?

Pah, this isn't being a sycophant! I, Flander, am a dignified man!
