Chapter 122: Frightened Dai Mubai
Li Yusong was originally lying on a reclining chair basking in the sun. His main duty was guarding the academy gate and collecting tuition fees from students.
He was just resting his eyes in comfort when he suddenly sensed several powerful soul power fluctuations approaching. He immediately opened his eyes vigilantly—and saw Dai Weis and his group walking over.
Seeing Dai Weis dressed so extravagantly, Li Yusong immediately felt pleased:
> "Judging by this young man's appearance, he must be from a wealthy family! Looks like I can raise the tuition a little… No, not just a little. Let's say… twenty gold soul coins? No, too low!"
> "With that appearance, twenty is not worthy at all. One hundred? Still too low! Let's go with one thousand gold soul coins!"
He assumed Dai Weis and his companions had come to apply to Shrek Academy, and gleefully waited for a payday.
As for "Shrek Academy is just a third-rate place, how could nobles come to apply?"—Li Yusong didn't think of that at all.
> Hadn't Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect, also come to Shrek Academy? If she could, why couldn't others? Are they more noble than Ning Rongrong?
Li Yusong stood up excitedly and said,
> "You've come to apply for Shrek Academy, right? The tuition fee is one thousand gold soul coins per year. Please pay! Hehehe…"
Hearing this, everyone—except Dai Weis—frowned.
This tuition fee was way too outrageous!
Especially Lin Qiuyang. As the dean of Star Luo Royal Academy, he knew very well how tuition fees worked.
He could confidently say that, across the entire Star Luo Empire, only the Royal Academy had tuition fees higher than this.
But Star Luo Royal Academy was the number one academy in the Empire. It had all sorts of mimicry cultivation grounds, a variety of soul master instructors, and even a soul beast forest in the academy. Students could find almost any soul beast there—except ten-thousand-year-old or extremely rare types. Even their meals included soul beast meat!
Shrek Academy, on the other hand—no mimicry grounds, no soul beast forest, basically nothing—how dare they charge this much?
Dai Weis saw Lin Qiuyang and the others' reactions and couldn't help but smile faintly.
> "Shocked already? Wait until you hear this—if you fail the entrance exam, the tuition isn't even refunded. Won't you die from rage?"
He walked up to Li Yusong and said with a smile:
> "Uncle, we're not here to apply for Shrek Academy. We're just looking for someone."
Hearing this, Li Yusong immediately waved his hand impatiently and said with disdain:
> "Not applying? Then scram! Don't interrupt my sunbathing!"
Dai Weis didn't get angry. He simply called out softly:
> "Uncle Li."
> "Yes!"
Li Hu instantly understood. He stepped forward and released his Martial Spirit. A deafening tiger's roar shook the air.
His muscles bulged, his body expanded, and eight soul rings rose one after another beside him.
> "Hmph! Refuse my toast, and you'll get punished instead! How dare you speak to my young master like that? You must be tired of living!"
Li Yusong was stunned on the spot.
His jaw nearly dropped to the ground, and terror filled his eyes.
> "A Soul… Soul… Soul Douluo?!"
Li Hu sneered.
> "Looks like you recognize strength. Now, you better do whatever my young master tells you. Otherwise, one word from him, and I'll raze this shabby Shrek Academy to the ground! Got it?"
He wasn't bluffing. Li Hu had packed enough soul guide grenades to level the entire place.
> "Y-Yes, I understand!" Li Yusong no longer dared act arrogant. He immediately bowed and smiled apologetically:
"Young Master, may I ask what business brings you to our Shrek Academy?"
Dai Weis laughed:
> "Uncle, I actually liked your rebellious look earlier."
Then, with a commanding tone, he said:
> "Go get Dai Mubai for me. I have some questions."
> "Right away!" Li Yusong scurried toward the academy playground.

At that time, Yu Xiaogang was training the Shrek Six Monsters.
Well—training was a bit of an exaggeration. It was just weighted running, but Tang San and the others enjoyed it.
Dai Mubai was no exception.
Perhaps because he now truly understood Dai Weis's terrifying power, Dai Mubai had started training diligently.
His soul power had already broken through to Level 38.
Seeing Li Yusong running over in a panic, Dai Mubai was confused and teased:
> "Teacher Li, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost in broad daylight."
But Li Yusong didn't laugh.
He asked seriously:
> "Mubai, let me ask you—have you caused any trouble recently?"
> "Trouble? I don't think so…" Dai Mubai thought for a moment. Aside from the Soul Fighting Arena, he had only been visiting high-end clubs to meet women. That wasn't causing trouble, right?
> Okay, maybe he hit a bit harder in the arena, but injuries happen there all the time.
Tang San sensed something was wrong and asked:
> "Teacher Li, what happened?"
Li Yusong replied gravely:
> "There's a group outside asking for Mubai by name. One of them is a Soul Douluo. Mubai, wait here. I'm going to find the dean. Stay put!"
Then he ran straight to the teaching building to find Flender and Liu Erlong.
He knew—if that group truly wanted trouble, staying put wouldn't help.
---
> "Oh? Sounds like someone's looking for a fight!" Dai Mubai said, grinning. "Let's go meet them!"
> "Exactly! If no one causes trouble, life would be too boring!" said Ma Hongjun, eager to join. Especially after last night—Dai Mubai had taken him to a luxurious club.
> "I'm going too. We Shrek Six Monsters move as one," Tang San smiled.
He had already taken out his Zhuge Divine Crossbow and Dragon Beard Needle. Even if they couldn't win, he would at least ensure everyone's safety.
> "Me too! Me too!" said Xiao Wu, her eyes glowing with excitement.
After briefly speaking to Grandmaster, the Shrek Six Monsters marched toward the school gate.
> "Tch! Let's see who's blind enough to…"
Before Dai Mubai could finish, he saw Dai Weis standing outside with a smile, flanked by a cold-faced Zhu Zhuyun and an icy Zhu Zhuqing.
His expression instantly collapsed.
Fear surged from his bones.
He dropped to the ground with a thud, trembling, his face twisted in horror.
> "Y-You… you are…"
Dai Weis stepped forward, smiling faintly:
> "Mubai, long time no see."
