"Senior Sister."
The black-haired youth, who had just been ferocious, immediately wilted.
"Senior Sister."
Her ripple-less eyes swept over everyone. When a refined young man entered her sight, at an angle no one noticed, the corner of this Inner Courtyard Senior Sister's mouth subtly curved into a smile.
"Are you causing trouble at my stall?!"
An Zhen's gaze fell on the turtle-shelled youth who had activated his Spirit.
Zhang Lexuan's gaze also followed to Xu Sanshi. Her eyes, though showing no emotion, scared Xu Sanshi into quickly explaining, "Senior Sister, I…"
"It's him!"
The lively beautiful girl shouted.
"Not only did he forcefully cut in line, but he also tried to forcefully buy things and bully my Yu Tong."
"I paid the money. He didn't give Nan Nan face, which means he didn't give me face." Xu Sanshi said coldly.
"Yu Tong, Wang Dong, are you two alright?"
An Zhen came to the two girls and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Wang Dong shook his head and said angrily, "Just now, this guy cut in line, threw money, and tried to grab the milk tea. Yu Tong didn't give it to him, and her wrist was scratched by this guy."
"Yu Tong."
An Zhen reached out and took the girl's slender arm, gently pulling up her sleeve. On her fair skin were red finger marks.
He touched my people!
"What face does a little bastard like you have?!"
The cold-faced young man turned around and cursed.
No wonder this kid couldn't win her over; this was clearly his true nature. And now he was still so arrogant and overbearing, cutting in line, forcing purchases, and bullying lower-grade students by relying on his strength.
"Kid…"
Xu Sanshi, who was about to utter a harsh threat, caught sight of the beautiful long-haired figure standing nearby. The words he was about to say were directly swallowed back.
"How much? I'll compensate."
"Apologize to my people, or go to the Dou Hun District." An Zhen really wanted to hit him.
Hit him hard!
"!"
The anger Xu Sanshi had just suppressed immediately flared up. Making him bow and apologize in front of his beloved was impossible.
"You kid are pushing your luck, aren't you?!"
Xu Sanshi turned to Zhang Lexuan, "Senior Sister, he asked for this himself. I'll accept any punishment afterward, but I activated my Spirit because Tang Ya used Hidden Weapons on me."
"That's because you bullied my Junior Brother first."
The refined young man stepped forward.
"So lively?"
An old voice sounded. A disheveled old man, with extremely greasy clothes, gnawing on a chicken leg, walked slowly over.
"Elder Xuan."
Zhang Lexuan bowed respectfully.
"Elder Xuan."
Seeing even the Inner Courtyard Senior Sister act this way, the surrounding students, even those who didn't know him, quickly bowed.
"What's going on?"
An Zhen looked at Wang Dong, "Wang Dong, please make a milk tea for Gourmet Douluo and explain what happened."
"Ah? Oh."
The dazed girl only reacted after An Zhen's reminder. This scruffy old man in front of her was actually the Gourmet Douluo.
The legs of the surrounding students, who were initially somewhat confused, immediately went weak.
My goodness, this milk tea was really certified by this big shot.
Xu Sanshi's face instantly turned pale. He had thought this was some student trying to be clever.
The story was simple.
Jiang Nannan was very interested in milk tea, but even after the discount, the price was still very expensive for commoner students, so she wanted to haggle. The story was normal up to this point. Huo Yutong, because An Zhen hadn't given instructions, felt she couldn't reduce the price without permission. Then, someone wanted to play the hero and save the beauty: he threw money and tried to forcefully take the milk tea, but unexpectedly Huo Yutong found him. During the struggle, he directly scratched her wrist. Tang Ya saw this and intervened…
"Little Xu."
"I, I'm here."
Xu Sanshi, who had just been arrogant, was now like a quail.
The big shot, taking a bite of chicken leg and a sip of milk tea, slowly said, "You were indeed in the wrong first in this matter."
His dim eyes glanced at Huo Yutong, who was protected by An Zhen. "How about this, no need to go to the Dou Hun District. You two can fight here."
"If you win, you compensate a thousand gold coins. If you lose, you compensate four Xuan Water Pills and apologize to him."
"Xuan…" Tang Ya felt something was amiss. After all, this person was trying to get even for Yu Tong, and he was a new student, while Xu Sanshi was a sixth-grader.
"Okay, just like that!" An Zhen agreed directly.
Tang Ya was a bit deflated. No, what was this guy doing? Didn't he see the sixth-grade uniform the other party was wearing?!
"Little Xu." The old voice sounded.
"Agree, if you, old man, open your mouth, I'll definitely agree."
Although there was a Dragon Beard Needle inside him, bullying a new student was as easy as breathing.
"Then clear out the area."
The old palm gently patted Xu Sanshi's shoulder. A golden thread, thinner than a hair, was directly flicked out, turning into a grain of rice, which Elder Xuan casually tossed to Tang Ya.
Xu Sanshi was overjoyed!
Looking at the slight smile that curved An Zhen's lips, he thought, "Kid, you're finished."
"It's over, it's over!"
Tang Ya said with a dejected expression.
"Teacher Xiaoya, is the opponent very strong?" Huo Yutong, whose wrist was being smeared with an unknown liquid by Tang Ya, asked worriedly.
"Although I really dislike this guy, I have to admit, he is indeed strong. Xuan Ming Turtle, a mutated Spirit, and his cultivation is the same as Bei Bei's. Both are top-tier Beast Spirits. One is known as the strongest offense in the Outer Courtyard, and the other is the strongest defense in the Outer Courtyard."
"If the Dragon Beard Needle hadn't been recalled just now, your friend would have had a slight chance, but now, there's no chance at all."
"This impulsive idiot…" Her small canines gently bit her cherry lips, and Wang Dong's dream-like large eyes reflected the back of the black-haired young man.
"Elder Xuan, this isn't fair."
To the surprise of others, the pink-blue haired young man expressed his opposition to the Super Douluo.
"Who told this kid to want someone else's treasure?" The old man, gnawing on a chicken leg, slowly said, "Besides, how do you know if that's impulsiveness or confidence where everything is under control?"
"Xu Sanshi, Spirit Elder, Xuan Ming Turtle. Kid, you'd better surrender now."
"An Zhen, Spirit Grandmaster, World."
Saying that, to everyone's puzzled gaze, the young man suddenly retreated several meters, then closed his eyes, opening them a second later.
"Aren't you going to attack?"
"Heh heh." The short-haired young man, looking like a boss, didn't even activate his Spirit. "I'll let you have three moves."
spirit power surged, but no matter what, everyone still didn't see any Spirit possession or Tool Spirit marks on the young man.
"Your left leg."
The young man announced softly.
A yellow spirit ring lit up.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out.
To everyone's surprise, the sixth-grade senior suddenly knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
"Kid!"
Xuan Ming Turtle possessed him.
His muscles swelled, and an astonishing aura emanated from the fierce-looking young man.
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi felt his face getting wet.
"Pfft, Big Turtle!" Wang Dong, who was watching, suddenly burst out laughing, and the surrounding boys and girls couldn't help but laugh along.
"?"
Xu Sanshi was puzzled, "My Spirit is Xuan Ming Turtle!"
His Spirit could not be humiliated.
"Xu Turtle, your face!" The gloating Tang Ya shouted.
Taking out a mirror from his waist-mounted Spirit Tool storage device, Xu Sanshi finally discovered the reason for his ridicule.
The characters "Turtle" were written on his left and right cheeks respectively.
When did this happen?!
He had clearly activated his Spirit just now.
"Xu Sanshi, have you ever been bullied??"
A clear, cold voice sounded.
"Just a trick to act mysterious!" Xu Sanshi scoffed at this.
"Is that so?"
An Zhen unhurriedly took a step forward.
"Actually, I could strip your clothes off and write more humiliating words on your body, but I'm not some evil person, and besides, there are so many young ladies here, wouldn't it be bad to dirty their eyes?"
A yellow spirit ring lit up.
"Fooling—"
Xu Sanshi's furious roar abruptly stopped.
The laughter in the area also abruptly stopped.
"Cough cough cough—"
The students silently watched as the sixth-grade senior knelt on the ground in pain, digging out the dirt that had filled his mouth at some unknown point, and even a flattened milk tea cup.
First, characters on his face.
Now, dirt in his mouth.
When exactly did this happen?
Is this guy really a Spirit Grandmaster?
"What if it wasn't dirt, but feces and urine?"
"Oh, right." The young man suddenly revealed a playful smile, "Putting a milk tea cup there was to tell you that I can do more than just put dirt in your mouth."
"You dare!" Xu Sanshi roared, spitting out the dirt.
"Why wouldn't I dare?!"
"Even if your father is the emperor, a Titled Douluo, it won't change the fact that you'll have to eat shit and garbage at any time."
An Zhen stated calmly.
What had originally seemed like a joke of a battle, no one dared to underestimate this new student anymore.
If Xu Sanshi, known as the strongest in the Outer Courtyard, was like this, then what about them?
"A little bit of strength, and some flattery, and you become arrogant."
"Give me—Ah!"
Xu Sanshi, who had just tried to gather strength to stand up and sneak attack, fell to the ground, clutching his other good leg and screaming.
"No matter how good or strong your background and abilities are, can you compare to Gourmet Douluo? True great figures don't bully the weak, so why do you, a good-for-nothing with a bit of ability, dare to?"
At the entrance of Shrek Academy, all the previous liveliness seemed to be frozen.
Under the gaze of all, an incredible battle was taking place.
"I understand you want to show off in front of the girl you like, but why did you bully my people?"
Looking at Xu Sanshi, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, having accepted the outcome and no longer struggling, An Zhen sighed, ended his revenge, and slowly said:
"Being bullied doesn't feel good, does it?"
"I've heard of her, Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty in the Outer Courtyard, from a commoner background."
The young man, hearing the name of his beloved, raised his head.
"Commoner. She may have been unfortunate in her childhood, and over ninety percent of commoners' misfortunes come from the upper class, from you nobles. She was bullied by nobles in her childhood, so how could your noble young master's demeanor make her like you?"
"I know you might want to say that you and your family haven't bullied commoners, but when a sheep has been hurt by a gray wolf with sharp fangs and claws, will it be afraid when it sees other animals with sharp fangs and claws? Will it feel its wound hurting?"
"Arrogant and overbearing, forcing purchases and sales, bullying lower-grade students by relying on your strength—what's the difference between you and those people?"
After a good beating, An Zhen felt he had vented his anger.
Silence.
The World seemed to have pressed the stop button at this moment.
A voice, almost a sob, sounded.
"I… I surrender."
The young man, his face contorted in pain, supported himself with both hands and crawled up from the ground. However, no matter how much physical pain or how much ridicule from others, nothing external could affect the sorrowful young man at this moment.
In his misty eyes, the dirt-stained hands were reflected. For the first time, Xu Sanshi felt his hands were so dirty.
Nan Nan, is this how you've always seen me…?
