Chapter 209: Flender, Let’s Get Out of Here

The aura surrounding the green-robed elder made it clear that he was a beast martial soul user—a Title Douluo.

Yet, even after releasing his martial soul, his body remained unchanged.

That level of mastery over his martial soul was something only a peak soul master at the Title Douluo level could achieve.

Cloud Feng stepped forward, blocking the furious Shrek instructors behind him.

"Your Excellency's surname is Dugu, and your body reeks of toxins. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the renowned Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo."

Dugu Bo let out a strange, cackling laugh.

"Hohoho… I didn't think anyone would still remember me. Kid, not bad. Yes, I am Dugu Bo. Now that you know my name, why aren't you leaving?"

Cloud Feng's face remained calm, just as he was about to speak—

Yu Xiaogang suddenly jumped forward and shouted,

"Alright, we'll leave! Flender, let's get out of here!"

Grabbing Flender's arm, he tried to drag him outside.

Flender immediately shook off Yu Xiaogang's grip, his eyes flashing with cold defiance.

"Xiaogang, I will not let Shrek suffer this humiliation."

Pale with fear, Yu Xiaogang's anger exploded.

"You don't fear death? Are you willing to drag everyone down with you? This is a Title Douluo! Do you really think you can fight him?"

"If you were a Title Douluo, you could tell people to leave at will—but you're not!"

"Even if we old men aren't afraid to die, do you want the children to perish too?"

"Poison Douluo's toxins are unmatched. Do you think his attack would only target you?"

Then, without waiting for a response, Yu Xiaogang turned to the three Spirit Douluo elders.

"My apologies, seniors. Let's end this matter here. But we will never forget your kindness. Until we meet again."

Cloud Feng, who had been prepared to negotiate, found himself momentarily speechless.

We don't even have to leave. I could just help Dugu Bo detoxify, and this whole thing would be resolved.

But before he could react, the situation had already escalated.

"Wait!"

Meng Shenji's eyes flashed dangerously as he locked onto the Poison Douluo.

"Dugu Bo, let us three old men test your poison!"

Tianxing Furnace Douluo Bai Baoshan and Sky Azure Vine Douluo Zhi Lin stepped up beside him.

The three of them simultaneously released their soul power, their battle intent flaring.

Meng Shenji's body became semi-transparent, a thick black mist rising from his feet.

His soul rings gleamed—two yellow, three purple, three black. Eight rings in total.

The difference in strength was immediately apparent.

Dugu Bo's fifth soul ring was already at the ten-thousand-year level, while Meng Shenji's was still a mere thousand-year soul ring.

Bai Baoshan, the Tianxing Furnace Douluo, summoned a radiant golden cauldron, inscribed with seven glowing silver stars. His powerful aura radiated stability.

Zhi Lin, the Sky Azure Vine Douluo, summoned a single emerald-green vine, translucent like jade, releasing a faint green mist that enveloped his entire body.

The air was heavy with tension.

On Shrek's side, their expressions were grim.

But none of them noticed the changes happening to Xiao Wu.

From the moment Xue Xing and his group arrived, she had been suppressing her aura with all her might, her face now visibly pale.

Her ruby-red eyes had subtly surfaced.

She was at her limit.

Only Cloud Feng noticed.

With a gentle smile, he reached out and brushed her hair, his eyes radiating warmth.

A silent message: Don't worry. Your aura is hidden.

Xiao Wu, though still uneasy, trusted Cloud Feng.

She gradually relaxed, only fully calming down when she saw that Dugu Bo had no reaction to her presence.

The stand-off between three Spirit Douluo and one Title Douluo made the entire hall feel suffocating.

The three elders' soul power shielded the Shrek group, while Dugu Bo instinctively protected Xue Xing and Xue Beng from the opposing pressure.

It was a clash between titans—one wrong move, and battle would erupt.

Despite his overwhelming strength, Dugu Bo didn't underestimate the three Spirit Douluo. His emerald eyes darkened with caution.

"Chairman Meng, what are you doing?!"

Xue Xing's voice rang out sharply.

His confidence wavered.

Though he acted high and mighty, he knew the truth—these three Spirit Douluo were immensely respected by Emperor Xue Ye himself.

If things spiraled out of control, even he wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.

"Prince Xue Xing," Meng Shenji's voice was filled with fury,

"If you insist on this course, I swear by my title as an elder of this academy—we three will personally report this injustice to the Emperor!"

Meng Shenji was livid.

Shrek Academy had left a strong impression on him.

Especially Cloud Feng.

The boy's talent alone made him a priceless asset to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But now, because of this self-important prince, they were being forced out.

How could he not be furious?

Even among Title Douluo, you rarely see a talent like this!

If Xue Xing drove Shrek away, it would be a massive loss for the academy.

At this moment, Meng Shenji didn't care about consequences.

But Flender…

Flender had already made up his mind.

He let out a heavy sigh, loosening his clenched fists.

Hidden behind his crystal glasses, his eyes regained their usual calm.

He gave a slight bow to the three elders.

"I never expected our arrival to cause such trouble for you, seniors."

"If Heaven Dou Royal Academy does not wish to accept us, then we shall not force it."

"Even if we leave today, we will never find peace here. Seniors, farewell. I hope we will meet again."

Flender was no longer young.

He understood that sometimes, no matter how much you resisted, the bigger power would always win.

Xue Xing had already made up his mind against them.

Staying would only bring more trouble.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy might have better resources—but it would never truly be home.

They had earned enough from their recent Soul Arena battles to rebuild Shrek Academy.

There was no point in staying where they weren't wanted.

"Dean Flender!"

Meng Shenji called out, his voice filled with urgency.

But Flender didn't look back.

He led the Shrek group out with firm steps.

As they passed Xue Beng, they saw the Fourth Prince's face twisted in a gleeful smirk.

Xue Xing, meanwhile, stood tall, pretending they didn't exist.

The three Spirit Douluo stood in silence, their faces alternating between red and white with barely restrained anger.

But there was nothing they could do.

Because, in the end—

This was still Heaven Dou Empire's academy.
