Oscar quickly realized something was seriously wrong.
Dai Mubai, who had been sucking his blood earlier, was becoming more aggressive. The rate at which he drained blood was increasing, and Oscar's face grew pale.
Panicking, Oscar no longer cared about Dai Mubai's injuries. He immediately activated his soul power and forcefully pushed him away.
"Bang!"
Dai Mubai tumbled to the floor, his body limp, but the bloodlust in his eyes remained. Deprived of the blood he craved, he became increasingly agitated, muttering incoherently:
"Blood... I need blood... Give me blood!"
Oscar was utterly terrified.
Is my brother possessed? How could he turn into this?!
Oscar didn't dare linger. Dai Mubai's current state was far too dangerous. If anyone saw him like this, it would undoubtedly cause trouble.
More importantly, if the Spirit Hall found out, Dai Mubai might be labeled as an evil spirit master and captured.
Thinking quickly, Oscar wrapped Dai Mubai tightly in a blanket, gagged him with a piece of cloth, and scanned the area for witnesses. Seeing none, he picked up Dai Mubai and began sprinting toward the only place he could think of—Shrek Academy.

By the time he reached the familiar gates of the academy, Oscar was out of breath but relieved. However, before he could fully relax, Flender and Ma Hongjun descended from the sky, landing directly in front of him.
Seeing Oscar struggling to carry a bundled figure, Flender raised an eyebrow and deactivated his martial soul.
"What are you doing so early in the morning, and why are you acting so suspiciously?"
Recognizing Flender's voice, Oscar hastily explained Dai Mubai's situation, recounting the events of the previous night in detail. He didn't try to defend Dai Mubai and instead gave an honest account, knowing he couldn't afford to offend Ning Rongrong.
Flender's expression darkened as he listened. While he understood that Dai Mubai had acted wrongly, he couldn't help but fume when he learned Yun Feng had beaten him so severely over what seemed like a monetary reward.
Flender clenched his fists, his anger barely contained. For a brief moment, a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Taking a deep breath to suppress his rage, Flender placed a hand on Dai Mubai's body and began examining him with soul power.
To his surprise, he found no illness or external cause for the bizarre symptoms Oscar described.
"This… doesn't make sense," Flender muttered, frowning.
After some thought, he assured Oscar, "Don't worry. I'll make sure Dai Mubai gets justice."

At the same moment, Yun Feng sensed a familiar ripple from the Heaven Suppression Monument.
Another name was etched onto it—Flender.
Yun Feng smiled wryly. So, the headmaster has joined my collection of scapegoats. How convenient.
He had initially expected Zhao Wuji to make an appearance, considering he had mentored Dai Mubai. But Zhao Wuji was nowhere to be found.
Still, Yun Feng was satisfied. With Flender added to the monument, Zhao Wuji's eventual reaction would likely deepen the grudge.

Later that morning, Yun Feng was about to discuss something with Zhu Zhuqing after breakfast when Flender stormed into the dining hall.
Seeing Flender's thunderous expression, Ning Rongrong immediately stood up and positioned herself protectively in front of Yun Feng.
"What's the matter, Headmaster? Why the dark face so early in the morning? Did someone offend you?" she asked sharply.
Yun Feng couldn't help but chuckle. Ning Rongrong still had oil glistening on her lips from breakfast, yet here she was, defending him so boldly.
She's got guts, Yun Feng thought, amused.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had overheard Ning Rongrong's recounting of last night's events, felt a surge of guilt. She couldn't help but think Yun Feng's actions were partly to protect her.
Resolving to stand by Yun Feng, she silently stepped forward and joined Ning Rongrong in facing Flender.
Xiao Wu, ever the troublemaker, saw an opportunity for entertainment and also stepped forward. However, her motivation was more straightforward—Yun Feng was her first friend in the human world, and she wasn't about to let anyone bully him.
Flender's face twitched. He hadn't even said a word, yet he was already being confronted by three determined young women.
Their fierce gazes made him feel like the villain, and his frustration only grew.
How does Yun Feng do it? Flender thought bitterly. Why do all these talented and beautiful girls flock to him?
As the headmaster of Shrek Academy, he had spent years trying to court a woman, only to be met with disappointment time and again. Meanwhile, Yun Feng seemed to have women throwing themselves at him effortlessly.
Flender felt a pang of jealousy, but he forced himself to focus on the matter at hand.
"Ning Rongrong, I won't address your behavior for now," he began, trying to maintain his composure. "But Yun Feng, explain to me why you beat Dai Mubai so severely. Over money, no less! Don't you value the bond between classmates?"
Yun Feng raised an eyebrow.
"That's it? That's his argument?"
Shrugging, he replied casually, "Headmaster, you're mistaken. It wasn't just about money. It was about justice."
"Dai Mubai's actions and words were unacceptable. Anyone would've been offended. Besides, I saved his life, didn't I?"
"If I hadn't intervened, what do you think would've happened if Rongrong had launched another signal flare? Do you really believe Dai Mubai would still be alive right now?"
Flender froze, realizing Yun Feng's logic wasn't entirely wrong.
While Yun Feng's methods were extreme, his actions had ultimately de-escalated the situation.
Just as Flender's anger began to subside, Yun Feng added with a smirk, "Besides, Rongrong didn't just reward me with money. She also promised me an unconditional favor, a million gold spirit coins, and honorary status as a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect VIP."
"Now tell me, Headmaster, wouldn't you do the same for such rewards?"
Flender's jaw dropped.
A million gold spirit coins? A favor from Ning Rongrong? VIP status in one of the most powerful sect
s on the continent?
He couldn't deny it—even he would've beaten Dai Mubai senseless for a chance like that.
