Chapter 95: The Seven Monsters Arrive
"That's why I didn't tell you, or any of the people involved, beforehand,"
Dugu Feng said with a satisfied smile.
"If I had, someone would have made a mistake."
The awe on Elder Scorpion's face made it clear—Tang Hao's reputation was serious business.
As for what Dugu Feng had obtained from Tang Hao's home, Elder Scorpion no longer cared.
That was not news, but secret—which he had no interest in probing.
"Now, keep watch on Shrek Academy.
This supply town is the closest one to the Star Dou Forest along their route—you understand?"
Dugu Feng instructed calmly.
Where was Tang Hao now?
Dugu Feng guessed he had returned to the Clear Sky Sect.
Bibi Dong and her Elder Hall Titled Douluo had been missing for over two months.
With time passing and the news already spreading through the Dugu Clan, surely all major powers knew the situation too.
Of course, Bibi Dong never intended to hide her actions.
She wanted to show the decisive authority of a Pope and declare the Spirit Hall's strength—
so what need for secrecy?
And at this very moment, Tang Hao had destroyed numerous Spirit Halls.
No doubt, lightning would clash with wildfire between them.
Tang Hao must have investigated many Spirit Halls and could not have missed this news.
The vortex at the continent's center was now fixed—right outside the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate.
The next question:
Would Tang San still encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider?
Would Eight Spider Lances still appear?
Dugu Feng planned to wait and see. If luck favored him, maybe he could snatch the external spirit bone.
After Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy, Oscar broke through to level thirty two days later.
Then Zhao Wuji led the Seven Monsters into the Star Dou Forest to hunt for soul rings.
There, Tang San advanced, snatched Dragon Grandmother and Snake Granny's granddaughter Meng Yiran's soul ring, and finally obtained the Eight Spider Lances.
Dugu Feng chose this supply town specifically to wait for the Shrek Seven.
If he could also get the Eight Spider Lances, the harvest would be perfect.
He settled in for the wait.
Two days passed quickly.
Dugu Feng's eyes lit up; two spirit orbs approached—Zhu Zhuqing's, surely.
The Shrek group had departed.
Dugu Feng stayed in a second-floor room by the window, overlooking the town's main street.
Near dusk, he felt Zhu Zhuqing enter the supply town.
Looking out, he soon saw the distinctive group walking along the road.
"Huh, Flender? He came too! Flender, Zhao Wuji—they're both here!"
Dugu Feng was surprised.
The Shrek Seven were unchanged except for Zhu Zhuqing's soul power reaching thirty and needing a new ring.
Had the intensifying conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall made Flender uneasy for their safety?
He considered paying Ning Rongrong a visit; after all, meeting by chance in the Star Dou Forest would be reasonable.
But after thinking it through, he decided not to.
He was plotting for the external spirit bone—
if anything went wrong, everyone who saw him would be suspect.
He preferred staying hidden.
He wouldn't let Tang Hao have any reason to connect these events to the Dugu Clan.
He had no intention of showing his face.
Soon after, Flender's group of nine—Shrek Seven and teachers—checked into the same inn as Dugu Feng.
It was the largest and cheapest inn in town; Flender's well-known thrift needed no explanation.
From upstairs, Dugu Feng could hear Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar's laughter echoing through the halls.
Dai Mubai was telling Tang San and Xiao Wu about the "unique" rules at Shrek.
"Anyone afraid to stir trouble isn't a good soul master," he declared.
Dugu Feng shook his head, reflecting,
"In truth, that's just bullying the weak.
Flender knows all these students are backed by powerful clans.
When trouble comes, their families will cover for them.
Ning Rongrong even has bodyguards on call, perhaps Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai too.
But wherever real danger looms, they run quicker than anyone.
At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, that talk didn't last—when Dugu Bo appeared, nobody bragged about trouble anymore.
To turn 'bullying the weak' into an academy motto—Flender, with his commoner roots, really knows how to adapt."
The ground floor bustled noisily.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun started provoking others, while Xiao Wu and Tang San were ever ready for a fight.
"Fight? I love fighting!"
Dugu Feng heard Xiao Wu's cheerful cry.
She was just like the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin—choosing love over cultivation as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
In the end, Tang Hao had long reserved her for his son's ring and bone.
Xiao Wu tossed several Canghui Academy students effortlessly with her nimble grace.
Dugu Feng paid little heed—how had she cultivated to a hundred thousand years with so much arrogance?
Canghui Academy was unlucky—crossing paths with the Shrek Seven.
The groups clashed fiercely in the streets.
Through his window, Dugu Feng watched the chaos unfold.
The Seven fought together, even besting Canghui's Spirit King Ye Zhiqiu.
Even a Spirit King was lost against the coordinated Seven.
Ning Rongrong's amplification was especially impressive. Her mastery of multi-channel control had reached the third stage—
able to enhance three comrades in different ways simultaneously, adjusting for each individual's needs while conserving spirit power.
During a burst of bursts, Ning Rongrong turned to glance at the inn—
feeling a familiar gaze, but seeing nothing.
"This little witch is perceptive!"
Dugu Feng smirked.
He'd already decided not to reveal himself—she wouldn't spot him.
After the fighting, Zhao Wuji reappeared.
The notorious "troublemaker" could be diplomatic with Dragon Grandmother and Snake Granny, but when confonted by a Spirit King like Ye Zhiqiu,
he proudly sent the man flying with a slap.
Putting on airs, he then loudly critiqued the Seven's teamwork, playing the wise mentor in public.
