The third soul skill, teleportation!
Xiao Wu suddenly teleported behind Ma Hongjun, seizing his shoulders as he remained entranced, then bent her legs and kicked him high into the air.
"Explosive kill and eight-section throw!"
Xiao Wu smiled to herself. With her current spirit power reserves, she could teleport several times, enough to perform a complete eight-section throw—a privilege even Tang San lacked!
The eight-section throw unfolded in three stages:
First, a volley and circling throw.
Second, six consecutive back handsprings.
Third, a 1,080-degree aerial spin culminating in an explosive throw.
Xiao Tian was surprised Xiao Wu unleashed such a devastating move on Ma Hongjun. With Ning Rongrong's amplification, could this not cripple Ma Hongjun?
But still within Shrek Academy, they needed to be cautious not to create undue trouble.
"Xiao Wu, be gentle—just fracture some bones and teach him a lesson!" Xiao Tian urged from the air.
Acknowledging him with a nod, Xiao Wu's landing strength didn't lessen much.
Dai Mubai smirked, "Xiao Tian, you sure you want Xiao Wu to hold back instead of making it worse?"
Oscar frowned. "Xiao Tian, that's too much. Fatty is a Shrek student and the dean's direct disciple. Besides, he and that girl were a couple—if they argue, it's not Xiao Wu's place to intervene. They might even be flirting."
Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes, shooting a warning look at Oscar. One more word and Oscar would feel Sword Fifteen's power.
Ning Rongrong snapped, "I can't believe this fat guy is also from Shrek! You never care about character, only talent. That's surprising! Oscar, didn't you see him flirting with Xiao Wu? And looking at us like that!"
Oscar was speechless.
For the first time, Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly, "No wonder. I recently saw someone taking twins to a hotel."
Dai Mubai paled but masked it with a bitter smile. He hoped to repair his bond with Zhu Zhuqing—and practice the martial soul fusion technique with her.
Ning Rongrong's expression soured. So that's the truth. Does that mean Oscar really is...
Oscar ignored Ma Hongjun's beaten state, waving off concern. "No, I only dated a few girlfriends—I didn't mess around!"
Though he hoped to win Ning Rongrong's favor, her impression of him dropped drastically on day one.
Ning Rongrong didn't respond—it wasn't necessary.
How many girlfriends had Oscar really dated?
His attitude toward Ma Hongjun and the woman just now was hard to defend.
Seconds later, Xiao Wu kicked the defeated Ma Hongjun to the ground; he fainted instantly.
"Xiao Ao, hurry and treat him!" Dai Mubai urged.
Oscar hurried forward with sausages, but seeing Ma Hongjun unconscious, he sighed helplessly, "Boss Dai, he's out cold and can't eat my sausages."
Dai Mubai said nothing.
Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "What's going on? Do you know each other?"
Ning Rongrong pulled Xiao Wu aside and explained. She was amused by Shrek Academy's peculiar atmosphere—lousy facilities but full of chaos and entertainment.
Helpless, Dai Mubai told Oscar, "Xiao Ao, take them to the cafeteria. I'll bring Fatty to see Teacher Shao Xin; his martial spirit should help with treatment."
Xiao Tian guessed this referred to the food-type soul master possessing candy beans at Shrek Academy—a much easier cure than Oscar's sausages.
Oscar nodded. Teacher Shao Xin was undoubtedly better than himself.
Led by Oscar, everyone had a quick breakfast and headed for the academy's playground.
During the meal, Xiao Wu complained quietly to Xiao Tian that Shrek's food was worse than Notting College's—just steamed buns and pickled mustard greens, no meat.
Xiao Wu wasn't hungry anyway—as long as she had carrots, she was content, her mind on Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian's daily sword practice and soul cultivation demanded vast energy—how did he manage with such poor nutrition?
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also found the cafeteria food monotonous. Not unfamiliar, but lacking.
At the playground, with Yu Xiaogang and Flanders present, Flanders grew curious about Yu Xiaogang's training plans and the backpacks and stones outside the academy.
Zhao Wuji was supposed to attend but had been beaten by Tang Hao last night without using soul skills. Now he hid in the office, unwilling to appear—a humiliating situation!
Seeing one fewer student, Yu Xiaogang frowned, "What happened? Weren't there supposed to be three students? Where's the third?"
Dai Mubai stood and explained briefly.
[Note: "Xiao Wu, why did you hit me so hard? We're all classmates!"]
Flanders was shocked. On the first day, Xiao Wu had already broken a student's bones!
Fortunately, the academy had Shao Xin, a food-type soul master who should heal Ma Hongjun. However, Flanders felt Xiao Wu needed warning.
Xiao Wu stood firm, crossing her arms. "Dean, that fat guy is a lustful wolf. He still fancies me. Look at his look—bullying a civilian woman. If my brother told me to hold back, I'd have killed him!"
Facing Flanders' fierce gaze, Xiao Wu held the proud aura of the Star Dou Great Forest's big sister. She bore no fondness for Shrek Academy; whatever else Flanders tried, she was unafraid.
