A week ago, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu had a conflict with Dai Mubai. To ease their relationship, Flanders decided to take them to the Star Dou Forest to obtain spirit rings.
In the past few days, in addition to Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Oscar have all surpassed level 30, each one just one spirit ring away from becoming a Soul Master.
Soto City is not particularly far from the Star Dou Forest; it took them a month and a half to reach the forest's outskirts.
Before dinner, Ning Rongrong quietly called Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu to her room.
"Is Rongrong okay?"
Their small group was centered around Ning Rongrong. Xiao Wu had a whimsical personality and was erratic. Zhu Zhuqing, sheltered in the Zhu family since childhood, hadn't been exposed to much. Only Ning Rongrong was eccentric, full of ideas, and possessed a strong sense of self.
Ning Rongrong was raised by Yu Tianming, and her personality was very much like Yu Tianming's. On the surface, she appeared harmless, but behind the scenes, she was full of evil intentions.
"You probably didn't know much about Shrek Academy before you came here."
"I'll tell you now."
"Shrek Academy has been established for twenty years. You all know their admissions requirements. In the twenty years before we arrived, they only admitted forty-two students, and only fourteen of them actually graduated."
"Hey, forty-two geniuses, only fourteen graduated. Logically, with their talent, they couldn't possibly remain unknown. But where did the rest go?"
Ning Rongrong sneered faintly. With so many geniuses, they would be highly sought after by any faction.
"Dead?"
Xiao Wu felt a chill run down her spine. Is the death rate at Shrek Academy so high?
"I don't know, probably dead. Anyway, just be careful."
"Let's go, let's eat."
Ning Rongrong wasn't interested in Shrek; she was just in it for fun, and would take her sisters away when she got bored.
At this moment, one of the three prostitutes from the hotel's second-floor brothel was acting up again.
"Boss Dai, look! Wow, they're so hot."
Ten meters away from the Shrek group, eight women sat together eating. They all wore blue miniskirts, blue and white stockings, and even had the same hair color.
"They're pretty, especially that cold woman."
Dai Mubai commented, his eyes gleaming as he stared across at them.
"I think that weak-looking woman is prettier."
As a member of the brothel trio, how could Oscar not join in?
Only Tang San sat quietly at his seat, eating. It was foolish to stir up trouble for no reason.
"Hmph, a dog will always eat shit."
Xiao Wu from the next table scoffed.
"Hey, would the pretty girl across the table like that want a drink?"
Dai Mubai, already feeling frustrated, desperately needed to vent. He couldn't afford to offend Ning Rongrong, but he wasn't afraid of the girls across the table.
"Hahaha, big sister, someone's inviting you out for a drink. Why don't you say yes? He's a handsome guy."
Xue Wu, with a somewhat heroic look, joked.
"Yeah, yeah, big sister, go ahead. We'll take care of your brother-in-law."
The other girls started to boo.
"Get lost, you rubbish!"
Shui Bing'er sneered, easily silencing the disloyal sister. Then, she looked at Dai Mubai, her sexy red lips parted slightly, her tone filled with disdain, her eyes as if she were looking at a stray dog.
"Wow, big sister, so handsome!"
Shui Bing'er was dressed in an ice-blue dress, blue and white stockings beneath a short skirt, and a pair of crystal high heels that perfectly accentuated her elegance and coldness.
"That guy's dead."
Ning Rongrong gloated, her head lowered. She knew the woman across from her: a shameless "wild chick" from Tianshui Academy.
In Tiandou City, Shui Bing'er was known for her aloofness; she wouldn't even bother looking at the average man.
"Bang!"
"Shameless! You're dressed so provocatively, aren't you just selling yourself?"
Shui Bing'er's disdain infuriated Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, you're going too far."
Tang San, unwilling to interrupt, spoke up. In his previous life, he had been a wuxia warrior. Insulting a woman with whom he had no grudges or grudges, a woman he had never met, would be considered a scum of the world by the wuxia warriors and even hunted down.
"Xiao San, the dean said those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre."
Oscar said nonchalantly. Dai Mubai often did this kind of thing in Soto City, and he was used to it.
After all, the brothel tigers were not bragging.
"Those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre?"
This was the first time Tang San had heard this, and he calmed down to carefully absorb the meaning.
"Flender is indeed not a good person."
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances. They seemed to understand why the death rate at Shrek Academy was so high.
It seemed that Flender's teachings were meant to lead to suicide. No wonder only fourteen people graduated.
The fourteen who made it to graduation were really lucky.
"Interesting, those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre? Haha, your dean, um... is a talent. Hahaha."
Shui Yue'er burst into laughter.
If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. If the teacher is trash, it's not surprising that the students are also trash.
"Haha, you're looking for trouble, aren't you? Come over here and lick my shoes. Oh, excuse me, Yuexuan bought these shoes for 13,000 gold coins. You're not even worthy of licking them."
Xuewu stood up and walked around. She pulled a stool over and stepped onto it with her crystal high heels, her slender blue silk legs on full display.
"Goblins... The women at Tianshui College are all goblins."
This scene made Ning Rongrong grit her teeth in anger. The women at Tianshui College were too skilled; she couldn't even learn one tenth of them.
