Chapter 111 If You Can't Afford to Lose, Don't Come
When Xiao Wu's long sword pursued too closely, even more agile than her, it got entangled. If she paused even slightly, the long sword would likely land on her body.
Helpless, Xiao Wu could only turn around, directly kicking the long sword away with one foot, and reluctantly widened the distance between herself and Shi Quan.
The entire arena was silent, dead quiet. Not to mention the audience, even the host, who had witnessed countless Spirit battles, couldn't help but gape.
No one expected such an outcome. Xiao Wu's three optimal spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—and the display of powerful Spirit Ability like Teleportation, undoubtedly proved her strength as a Spirit Elder. Yet, such an existence, without her opponent even releasing his Spirit, failed in one strike and was instead wounded by Shi Quan's sword, forced to retreat...
On the Great Spirit Arena viewing platform, the Shrek Academy group, who had been full of confidence in Xiao Wu, widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. Tang San, looking at Xiao Wu's blood-stained right foot, was even more enraged, his body trembling, his expression terribly grim.
He had sworn a solemn oath that he would not let go of anyone who dared to harm Xiao Wu, unless they stepped over his corpse. In his mind, Shi Quan's sword wound to Xiao Wu had already sealed his fate...
Dai Mubai, sitting beside Tang San, noticed Tang San's unusual state and then recalled Zhao Wuji harming Xiao Wu on the day of Shrek Academy's enrollment, as well as scenes from the Star Dou Great Forest, feeling a sudden chill.
Worried that Tang San would act impulsively, he quickly pressed down on the latter's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Little San, don't be impulsive. This is the Great Spirit Arena. The forces behind it are complex. You absolutely must not cause trouble here. Besides, Xiao Wu hasn't lost yet..."
Hearing this, Tang San took a deep breath, secretly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and slowly nodded.
On the Great Spirit Arena.
Xiao Wu had not expected the young man's reaction speed to be so quick. Even with her Teleportation skill to get close, he could immediately counterattack, as if he knew her Spirit Ability. She had intended to catch her opponent off guard, but instead, she was the one caught off guard.
Xiao Wu looked at her right foot in pain, fresh red blood flowing, but fortunately, the sword had not injured her meridians, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to stand. In a fit of rage, she shouted, "If I don't make you eat dirt, this grandma won't be a Soft Bones Demon Rabbit today!"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu lunged forward, soaring towards Shi Quan again.
Having learned from the previous lesson, this time she did not rashly approach, but instead used an S-shaped movement to get closer to Shi Quan, distracting the latter.
When the two were less than five meters apart, the second yellow spirit ring around Xiao Wu's body suddenly lit up, pink light burst from her eyes, meeting Shi Quan's gaze, and a red glow floated straight towards the latter.
Xiao Wu's second Spirit Ability, Charm, was activated.
Facing the second Spirit Ability released by Xiao Wu, Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged. In his mind, Xiao Meng let out a disdainful laugh. A silver light flashed in Shi Quan's eyes.
Xiao Wu was using a mental force Spirit Ability. For Spirit Masters of the same level, one careless mistake would lead to being ensnared and then at the mercy of the opponent.
But in front of Shi Quan, this was completely like showing off a big sword in front of Guan Yu. The reason mental force Spirit Abilities are called mental force Spirit Abilities is that they target mental force. As long as Shi Quan's mental force is strong enough, he will not be affected; he might even cause Xiao Wu herself to be harmed.
The silver light in Shi Quan's eyes directly blocked the red light of Charm, easily fending it off without any surprise. As a pure mental force type Spirit Soul, if Shi Quan wished, by summoning his Ling Po Martial Soul Spirit, she could directly cause a mental force backlash to Xiao Wu. Shi Quan naturally wouldn't expose his Ling Po Martial Soul Spirit in front of so many people.
So, Shi Quan lowered his head, his soft black fringe falling freely, his eyes covered by shadow, the corner of his mouth under the mask slightly upturned, deliberately feigning a charmed expression.
On the Great Spirit Arena viewing platform, the Shrek Academy group, seeing Xiao Wu's Charm succeed, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Dai Mubai, seeing this, also patted Tang San's shoulder and chuckled, "Haha, Little San, it looks like we don't need to help. Xiao Wu can get her revenge herself."
Tang San neither nodded nor shook his head, nor did he offer any reply. Instead, he stared at the Great Spirit Arena platform with a solemn expression.
From how 'Dugu Qiubai' was able to react to Xiao Wu's Teleportation just now, he could tell that this person was by no means an ordinary individual. Moreover, in his opinion, the sword technique seemed a bit clumsy, but when facing an opponent like Xiao Wu, it was just right. Overall, 'Dugu Qiubai's' strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
The most important point was that 'Dugu Qiubai' hadn't even used his Spirit yet!
Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart. He only hoped his feeling was wrong. If 'Dugu Qiubai' was honestly beaten by Xiao Wu to vent some anger, then he would let bygones be bygones. But if he was someone who harmed Xiao Wu, then he naturally wouldn't let him go.
Ning Rongrong, beside him, also looked at Shi Quan on the stage with a worried expression. Although Shi Quan was wearing a mask, she recognized Shi Quan's identity after he spoke.
"Rongrong, what's wrong?" Oscar noticed that Ning Rongrong's expression seemed a bit off and asked with some concern.
"Nothing... nothing." Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hand. She felt that Shi Quan would definitely not be so easily affected. She was well aware of Shi Quan's strength.
On the Great Spirit Arena platform, Xiao Wu saw that 'Dugu Qiubai' was charmed, and a hint of triumph immediately flashed in her heart. Without any hesitation, her third spirit ring lit up again, activating her Teleportation skill, and she instantly moved behind Shi Quan.
Xiao Wu's Teleportation skill could only move within a five-meter range, which was the main reason she activated her Charm Spirit Ability when she was within five meters of Shi Quan.
Firstly, she wasn't afraid of Shi Quan's long sword, and secondly, after charming her opponent, she could immediately launch an attack via Teleportation.
Having learned from the last lesson, she was much more careful this time. This time, she went directly behind Shi Quan, but still, as before, Xiao Wu's attack was directed at Shi Quan's neck, but this time the attack was more vicious.
Because Shi Quan had injured her, she wanted to let Shi Quan experience her ultimate move, the Eight-Stage Drop!
Xiao Wu flicked her head, and her black scorpion braid wrapped around Shi Quan's neck.
Just as the black scorpion braid was about to touch Shi Quan's neck, Shi Quan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned his head, his body rotated to the left, and the long sword in his hand formed a semicircle. Internal Energy transformed into sword Qi, slashing upwards.
Black ink-like hair scattered like fine rain across the sky.
"My hair..." Xiao Wu looked at her broken half-length hair, and her entire being instantly lost focus, standing dazed in place.
Losing focus in this Great Spirit Arena was undoubtedly a major taboo.
One sword slash cut through half of Xiao Wu's sleeve and the mask on her face. Then, with a kick, Xiao Wu was sent flying backward, slamming heavily against the wall outside the Great Spirit Arena platform. Under the violent impact, Xiao Wu directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Wu..." Upon realizing that 'Dugu Qiubai' wasn't affected by Charm, Tang San knew things were going to be bad. He immediately flew down from the Great Spirit Arena viewing platform, but no matter how fast he was, he could only watch Xiao Wu crash heavily against the wall. To prevent Xiao Wu from suffering secondary injuries, Tang San quickly caught her.
"Third Brother... my hair... my hair!" Xiao Wu's eyes were bloodshot, clutching her scattered long hair, tears streaming uncontrollably. She was somewhat frantic. The rush of anger combined with her internal injuries caused her to directly faint after only a few words.
Looking at the blood-stained, weeping Xiao Wu in his arms, who had fallen unconscious, Tang San raised his eyes to Shi Quan on the Great Spirit Arena platform, his eyes blood red, filled with rage. Two yellow and one purple spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. As spirit power surged around his body, the clothes on his back inexplicably bulged slightly.
Killing intent, completely undisguised, poured towards Shi Quan.
Shi Quan looked at Tang San below the stage, his eyes full of disdain, his expression under the mask was relaxed and natural, even with a hint of mockery. At the same time, he didn't forget to cast a few provocative glances at Tang San, as if saying—what if you're not convinced? What can you do to me?
For a moment, the air was thick with tension. At this point, the host also reacted, flying to Shi Quan's front, standing on the platform and looking down at Tang San, saying, "Sir, please show some self-respect. If you dare to openly act in the Great Spirit Arena and break the rules, the consequences are not something you can bear."
At this moment, the other members of Shrek Academy also hurried over. Dai Mubai glanced at Shi Quan on the Great Spirit Arena platform, and his eyes were also filled with barely suppressed anger, but he knew that the Great Spirit Arena was not a place they could provoke. He immediately pressed down on Tang San's shoulder and reminded him in a deep voice, "Little San, you must calm down. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge later. Don't let impulse ruin things."
"Exactly, exactly, Tang San, you absolutely must not be impulsive. I have two recovery Sausages here, quickly give them to Xiao Wu to eat." Oscar also came closer, offering two Sausages, echoing.
Tang San took the Sausages, took a deep breath, and looked at Shi Quan on the Great Spirit Arena platform with eyes like raging fire. He withdrew his Spirit and glared, "'Dugu Qiubai', do you dare to fight me outside the Great Spirit Arena?"
Hearing this, Shi Quan scoffed, his eyes full of disdain as he said, "One idiot is enough, now another idiot comes. This is the Great Spirit Arena! If you get injured, you challenge the opponent and retaliate."
"Was I supposed to come on stage just to be beaten by her? If I really got beaten, you would definitely say I deserved it, right? Now that this Rabbit lost, she's getting angry out of humiliation. According to your logic, you guys come up here just to beat others? And it's wrong if others beat you?"
"If you're such sore losers, then don't come. Do you think this is a place for children playing house? No one in the Spirit Master's world will indulge your self-righteous bad habits."
"Moreover, even if we really were to fight, why should I agree to you? Am I stupid, or do you have a problem with your brain? You lose a Spirit battle, get a little injured, and you're acting like it's the end of the world, full of angry humiliation. If I were to go out with you, wouldn't you all swarm me?"Chapter 112 Angry Ning Rongrong
"You…" Tang San was rendered speechless by Shi Quan's barrage of retorts.
He didn't believe he would lose to Shi Quan. If he really lost, he wouldn't mind the help of Dai Mubai and the others, because Yu Xiaogang had said that they were a team, a whole, and helping each other was normal. One should not be constrained by formalities; only those who speak up have the right to speak.
Shi Quan naturally couldn't be bothered with Tang the Buddha and turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were standing at the very back, also wearing masks. He glanced at them before looking away.
"Host, you may announce the Great Spirit Arena results now."
The host quickly reacted, picked up the megaphone in his hand, looked around, and announced loudly: "Due to Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Spirit Elder falling off the Great Spirit Arena stage, I announce that the winner of this one-on-one Great Spirit Arena match is 'Dugu Qiubai' Spirit Elder!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire arena instantly erupted in cheers. It was their first time witnessing a match where the Spirit wasn't even used, yet the battle was won. Each and every one of them was exceptionally excited.
Following the host's announcement, Shi Quan didn't linger and turned to walk off the Great Spirit Arena stage.
Tang San didn't hesitate. He quickly picked up Xiao Wu in a bridal carry and turned to walk in another direction. Although he hated this 'Dugu Qiubai' fellow, the most urgent matter at hand was to treat Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong stood rooted to the spot, watching Shi Quan's receding figure, unable to recover for a long time. At such a close distance just now, seeing Shi Quan's familiar eyes, Ning Rongrong could say with 100% certainty that the person in front of her was Shi Quan.
"Rongrong, what are you doing? We should go." Oscar's voice interrupted Ning Rongrong's thoughts.
"Ah… oh, Little Ao, you guys go back first. I still have something to do; I'll be back later." As she spoke, Ning Rongrong wanted to chase in Shi Quan's direction.
Oscar held Ning Rongrong and said, "But Dean and Grandmaster told us to gather after the Great Spirit Arena. If you don't go, Grandmaster might punish you."
"Let him punish me then, I'm not afraid. If it weren't for Tang San, I wouldn't have bothered with that Grandmaster long ago." Ning Rongrong broke free from Oscar's hand and immediately rushed after him without stopping.
"Rongrong." Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong, then at the direction where everyone was gathering, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.
His male intuition told him that Ning Rongrong seemed to know that 'Dugu Qiubai'. Ever since 'Dugu Qiubai' spoke, Ning Rongrong's expression had been a bit off.
After much deliberation, Oscar still chose to go to the gathering first, to speak for Ning Rongrong and try to get her punishment waived.
…
On the other side.
Shi Quan had already returned to Ye Lingling's Great Spirit Arena viewing stand.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Lingling."
"You know that Soft Bones Demon Rabbit?" Ye Lingling walked up to Shi Quan and asked.
"Indeed, I know her. In fact, you've met her too." Shi Quan nodded and took off his mask.
"Met her?" Ye Lingling thought about it but was still confused.
Shi Quan reminded her, "It's those two Spirit Masters we met when we went to Nuoding City."
"So it was them." Ye Lingling finally remembered.
"When I was at Notting Academy…" As the two walked out, Shi Quan began to talk about his past at Notting Academy.
Walking out of the Great Spirit Arena, strolling along the wide and bright streets, after discussing Notting Academy, their conversation returned to Xiao Wu.
"That Soft Bones Demon Rabbit's strength feels like she's among the powerful ones even at the Spirit Elder Rank, especially in close combat, and that Spirit Ability that allows Teleportation and the Spirit Ability that Charms people. Under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible for a Spirit Master of the same Rank to resist, right?"
"Indeed, her strength is strong among those of the same Rank, especially her Soft Technique."
Shi Quan nodded in response to Ye Lingling's question; this was indeed a fact.
"Soft Technique? Like the swordplay you practice?"
"Mm." Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling and said, "These are actually battle techniques summarized into a fighting style. I can help you summarize a set of Moves that suit you, so you can defend yourself in the future."
Hearing Shi Quan say this, Ye Lingling's eyes visibly brightened, and she chuckled, "Shi Quan, I feel like you're too smart. Can I really learn these battle techniques? To defeat a Spirit Elder of the same Rank without relying on Spirit and spirit ring Abilities, such a technique could even be called a self-created Spirit Ability. If it were released, its value would be immeasurable, especially for support Spirit Masters. To allow a support Spirit Master with no offensive power to possess combat ability, it's terrifying to think about."
"Of course." Shi Quan smiled, "I definitely wouldn't teach others, but you are different."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's cheeks couldn't help but flush, and a warm current flowed through her heart, "Thank you, Shi Quan."
Under Ye Lingling's veil, her pretty face rarely showed such a sweet smile.
"It's nothing." Shi Quan said with a smile. If Ye Lingling could learn some martial arts, and go head-to-head with others, and she herself was a healer who could save anyone as long as they weren't dead, then the thought of trading injuries like that would make one feel despair.
It was also at this moment that Shi Quan suddenly felt an angry gaze behind him. He thought Tang San and the others had found him. He turned his head and met Ning Rongrong's furious, man-eating eyes.
"Is that Ning Rongrong?" Ye Lingling also noticed Shi Quan's movement, turned to look, and also saw Ning Rongrong's figure.
"It seems she recognized me during the Great Spirit Arena." Shi Quan stopped, looked at Ye Lingling, "She seems to be looking for us. Let's go meet her."
"She's not looking for us, she's looking for you." Ye Lingling chuckled, pointing to the nearby hotel, "You go. It's not far from the hotel; I'll go back to the hotel to rest first."
"Alright." Shi Quan awkwardly scratched his head, then said, "I'll be back very soon."
"Mm." Ye Lingling nodded lightly and turned to walk towards the hotel.
Shi Quan looked at the furious Ning Rongrong with confusion, thinking to himself, it seems I haven't provoked this Young Miss, right? It couldn't be that she's coming to vent her anger on me because I beat up her roommate, could it?
"Oh, what a coincidence, to meet our Young Miss Ning here?" Shi Quan walked forward with a chuckle.
Hearing Shi Quan's words, Ning Rongrong became even more annoyed, or rather, mortified. She had thought Shi Quan was looking for her, but it turned out she had been chasing him for a long time, only to see Shi Quan with another woman, and that woman was Ye Lingling.
All sorts of thoughts flooded her mind at once; she even imagined the two of them traveling and dating.
Thinking of these, Ning Rongrong didn't know why, but a surge of anger swelled in her mind.
"I also wanted to say, how can it be such a coincidence!" Ning Rongrong said through gritted teeth.
"Fate is a mysterious thing," Shi Quan chuckled.
Ning Rongrong glared at Shi Quan and asked, "Be honest, why are you and Ye Lingling in Soto City! Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"
"Huh?" Shi Quan was stunned for a moment.
Ning Rongrong also realized that what she said seemed a bit ambiguous, and quickly said, "What 'huh'? I'm asking you, why are you in Soto City?!"
Shi Quan then explained, "Teacher Qin is leading the entire Royal Fight Battle Team on a touring Great Spirit Arena within the Heaven Dou Empire, and today they happened to arrive in Soto City."
"Touring Great Spirit Arena?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Shi Quan wasn't out alone with Ye Lingling, she suddenly felt relieved for some reason and mumbled, "That really is quite a coincidence."
"What's the deal with your swordplay today? You actually won against Xiao Wu without using your Spirit. When did you become so powerful?"
"I've always been powerful, alright."
"I'm asking about your swordplay."
"Didn't you also ask me when I became so powerful?"
"Shi Quan!!!"
"Alright, alright…"
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
While Ning Rongrong was questioning Shi Quan, the rest of Shrek had already gathered at the entrance of the Great Spirit Arena.
"Tang San, who is that person in your arms?" Flender, who was waiting at the entrance, looked at the person in Tang San's arms, then looked around, and asked with a frown, "Also, why haven't Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong come out yet?"
Xiao Wu's signature ponytail had been cut by Shi Quan's sword, and it had completely come undone. Now, with her hair disheveled, her exact appearance wasn't clear.
"Dean, the person in my arms is Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu?" Flender's pupils suddenly contracted, his face showing disbelief. He then carefully looked at Xiao Wu's specific clothing and figure, but upon seeing her disheveled long hair, half of which was gone, and the injuries on her feet, he immediately pressed, "What exactly happened? What kind of opponent did Xiao Wu encounter that even her hair was cut?"
Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "She was injured like this in a one-on-one solo Great Spirit Arena match by someone who used a sword."
"What? Who was so ruthless? Great Spirit Arena sparring is supposed to stop at the right point. If they dare to cut hair, next time they'll dare to cut off heads." Hearing this, Flender was also furious. He himself was extremely protective of his own, and now seeing Xiao Wu bullied like this, as her teacher, he naturally had to get revenge for his student.
Tang San shook his head, "That person, like us, used a fake name and wore a mask, so their specific identity cannot be determined."
Flender pressed, "What about their Spirit? Although we don't have the right to ask the Great Spirit Arena to reveal that person's specific information, if we just know their Spirit, it will be much easier to investigate. Our Shrek students are not to be bullied by just anyone."
Tang San still shook his head. He naturally couldn't say that 'Dugu Qiubai' had defeated Xiao Wu without even using his Spirit. He could only change the subject and say, "Dean, I will avenge this grudge on the Great Spirit Arena in the future."
"Very well, as long as that person is still in the Great Spirit Arena, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Your teacher, because he had something to do, has already gone back early." Flender sighed lightly and looked at Oscar, "What about Ning Rongrong? Why hasn't she returned yet?"Chapter 113 Are you Dugu Qiubai?
"Dean, Rongrong said she had something to take care of and asked me to tell you all to go back first; she'll be back a little later."
Oscar quickly explained.
Flender nodded, "In that case, Little San, I'll take you back first to help Xiao Wu heal. You all can return to the academy yourselves."
"No problem, Dean," everyone responded.
Flender grabbed Tang San, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing turned and ran directly in another direction. She naturally didn't want to walk with those boys.
"It's rare for us three brothers to be out alone. Should we go have some fun before heading back?" Ma Hongjun's shifty little eyes immediately darted around.
"Do you think the daily training isn't tiring enough?" Oscar rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai gave a wicked smile and said, "What? Is your evil fire burning again?"
Ma Hongjun chuckled, "No, not really. But isn't this situation truly rare today? Since school started, us three musketeers haven't had a good time out together in a long while."
Dai Mubai shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's just go back."
"What? Boss Dai, are you still thinking about Zhuqing?" Ma Hongjun looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing had left, clicked his tongue, and said, "Zhu Zhuqing is so hostile towards you, yet Boss you're still so concerned about her. This is the first time I've seen such a situation. It looks like Boss Dai, you're serious this time?"
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and cursed, "Mind your own business, let's go!"
Just after the three had walked for a bit, Ma Hongjun's shifty eyes seemed to spot something, and a gossipy gleam instantly flashed in them. He grabbed Oscar and Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai impatiently said, "What is it now, Fatty?"
"Boss, Little Ao, especially Little Ao, you absolutely must not mess up."
Oscar also said with some impatience, "If you have something to say, say it! If you have gas, release it!"
Ma Hongjun chuckled and pointed to the front left, "Look over there. That should be Ning Rongrong, right? There's also a pretty boy next to her. They seem quite familiar. Could they be secretly out on a date with her sweetheart?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and Oscar were greatly shocked, especially Oscar, whose eyes showed even more panic. He had felt something was off earlier, and now hearing Ma Hongjun say this, he immediately looked in the direction Ma Hongjun pointed.
On one side of the crowd, Ning Rongrong was chatting animatedly with a handsome man, her expression alternating between surprise and annoyance. To them, it looked like they were flirting.
Seeing this scene, Oscar's body swayed, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
Dai Mubai naturally noticed Oscar's abnormality, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes, he raised his right hand and clenched it, then looked at Ma Hongjun, "Fatty, someone dares to steal our brother's woman, are we just going to stand here and watch?"
Even if Ma Hongjun was slow to react, he immediately understood. He chuckled, "Shouldn't we help our brother vent his anger?"
Oscar said worriedly, "Maybe it's just Rongrong's friend? Let's go ask about the situation first?"
"Then let's go over and ask. We'll find out then," Dai Mubai's fists clapped together, making a sound of cracking bones.
"Rongrong," as the three approached, Oscar couldn't help but call out Ning Rongrong's name.
"Little Ao?" Ning Rongrong heard Oscar's familiar voice behind her. She looked at Shi Quan in front of her, furrowed her brows slightly, and turned to look behind her. Only then did she notice that besides Oscar, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had also arrived.
Dai Mubai stepped forward and sized up Shi Quan, then asked, "Rongrong, who is this new friend?"
"Rongrong, since your friends are here, I'll head back to the hotel first," Shi Quan waved his hand.
"Wait a moment!"
Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong said almost simultaneously.
Upon hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She looked at Dai Mubai, "Dai Mubai, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" A wicked glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. He stared intently at Shi Quan's eyes, thoroughly sizing him up, then said coldly, "Your voice sounds a bit familiar."
Ma Hongjun also chimed in, "That's right, it does sound a bit familiar."
Oscar's pupils constricted. He had suspected that Ning Rongrong might know 'Dugu Qiubai' before, but he couldn't be sure. However, after hearing Shi Quan's voice, he almost immediately confirmed that the young man in front of him was 'Dugu Qiubai,' who had severely injured Xiao Wu on the stage earlier.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were slower to react, but they quickly caught on. After all, this had just happened. "You are Dugu Qiubai?"
Shi Quan looked at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who were slowly encircling him, with a half-smile. "So what if I am? So what if I'm not?"
"You mean you admit it?" A cold glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. "Then I'm going to avenge Xiao Wu!"
A low tiger roar came. With one stride, in an instant, his right fist suddenly rose. Accompanied by a forward charge, Dai Mubai had already arrived in front of Shi Quan, punching directly at Shi Quan's chest.
A cold light flashed in Shi Quan's eyes. He took a step with his right foot and likewise threw a punch, but as he swung, a faint layer of white silver light appeared on Shi Quan's hand.
A dull thud sounded.
Dai Mubai's figure uncontrollably retreated seven or eight steps before he managed to stabilize himself.
Dai Mubai's pupils constricted, and his face was somewhat flushed. While he had initiated the attack, he was at a disadvantage. Not only was his strength inferior to the opponent's, but when their right hands collided, Shi Quan's fist gave him the illusion of being cast from bronze and iron. This feeling was just like Tang San's hand back then.
However, Tang San could still be shaken due to the difference in strength, while Shi Quan gave him the feeling of an unshakeable towering mountain.
The Indestructible Divine Skill Realm is divided into multiple stages: the first stage is Copper Body, the second stage is Iron Body. Currently, Shi Quan's Indestructible Divine Skill is in the third stage, Silver Body.
After Shi Quan used the Tenfold Perfect Great Restoration Pill, his Indestructible Divine Skill reached the second stage, Iron Body. Afterwards, due to continuously absorbing the Dragon Spine external Spirit Bone and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears, his Indestructible Divine Skill also reached the third stage, Silver Body.
Dai Mubai's spirit power is currently at Rank 38. During the days of touring soul fights, Shi Quan's Cultivation also didn't fall behind, and his spirit power also Breakthrough to Rank 38 not long ago.
At the same spirit power Rank, even if Shi Quan did not have a strength-type Spirit, Dai Mubai's strength could absolutely not shake Shi Quan.
"Dai Mubai, what are you doing? He's my friend!" Ning Rongrong said angrily.
A wicked glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he said coldly, "Ning Rongrong, aren't you clear about what I'm doing? He injured Xiao Wu so badly on the arena. What's wrong with us avenging Xiao Wu? What if he's your friend? Are Little San and Xiao Wu not your companions then? If you're not convinced, go explain to Little San, and see if he'll make a move!"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, and his eyes on Shi Quan became more serious. He looked at Ma Hongjun beside him and said, "Fatty, let's attack together. This kid is a tough nut to crack. Little Ao, if you don't want to make Ning Rongrong difficult, then pull her away. We'll handle our own affairs!"
"No problem," Ma Hongjun was just complaining about having no fun, and now fun was delivered right to his doorstep?
"Don't hold back," Dai Mubai whispered, and Ma Hongjun immediately understood.
"White Tiger, possess!"
"Phoenix, possess!"
Intense white light and scorching red light erupted from Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's bodies.
Their bodies also began to undergo drastic changes. Two yellow and one purple, three spirit rings, and two yellow, two spirit rings, quietly rose beneath them. As the spirit rings circulated, surging spirit power formed a wave-like pressure that rushed towards Shi Quan.
Seeing this, a hint of playfulness flashed in Shi Quan's eyes. With a casual wave, the spirit power pressure released by the two dissipated. A faint blue light came from his right hand, and Blue Silver King vines coiled upwards and scattered on the ground.
One yellow, two purple, three spirit rings emerged from beneath him.
"Two thousand-year spirit rings, how is this possible?!" Dai Mubai and the others were all stunned when they saw the unusual spirit ring configuration beneath Shi Quan. Especially Dai Mubai, whose wicked eyes almost converged when he saw this scene.
Ning Rongrong's eyes were also full of mockery. How could she not know Shi Quan's strength? Her anger was only because Dai Mubai attacked Shi Quan, and she wasn't worried that Dai Mubai would hurt Shi Quan, because from beginning to end, in her eyes, Shi Quan would never lose to Dai Mubai, even with Ma Hongjun cooperating.
"He's actually this strong?" Dai Mubai stared intently at Shi Quan, feeling a little fortunate in his heart.
Shi Quan looked a bit younger than him, but having the precedent of losing to Tang San, he knew that sometimes, spirit power didn't represent everything, especially for someone like Shi Quan who could defeat Xiao Wu with just a longsword. So, he immediately called on Ma Hongjun to attack together.
Fortunately, he called on Ma Hongjun. Otherwise, judging by Shi Quan's strength shown on the arena, the power of their recent collision, and Shi Quan's Spirit, he probably wouldn't be Shi Quan's opponent.
But now it was different. With Ma Hongjun there, Dai Mubai felt confident again, because Shi Quan's Spirit was a plant, and plant-type Spirits all had a common weakness: fear of fire! And Ma Hongjun's Spirit was fire-attributed, and his evil fire was even stronger than ordinary flames. As long as Ma Hongjun's flames were present, Shi Quan's plant Spirit wouldn't be able to function. With Shi Quan alone, wouldn't he be at their mercy? No matter how sharp his longsword was, it couldn't pierce his White Tiger's fur.
With this thought in mind.
Dai Mubai didn't hesitate at all, letting out a low roar: "Fatty!"
Fatty chuckled wickedly, immediately understood, and instantly activated his second spirit ring skill, Phoenix Fire Wire.
Intense purple flames suddenly rose, and the scorching temperature instantly spread through the air. This was just the beginning. Immediately after, the first spirit ring beneath Ma Hongjun also lit up, and a Phoenix Fire Wire as thick as an arm was directly sprayed towards Shi Quan.Chapter 114 Birds of a Feather
Shi Quan was no fool; as he stood there blankly, the moment his Spirit was released, the Blue Silver King had already begun to spread towards the two.
Just as Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Wire erupted, the Blue Silver King had already reached their front.
Watching the gushing fire line, Shi Quan's first spirit ring below him lit up, and the Blue Silver King on the ground instantly grew rapidly, forming a Blue Silver Vine Wall in front of him.
The imagined scene of plants melting and burning did not appear; the thick Blue Silver Vine Wall only recessed a few inches backward. The Phoenix flames, amplified by Ma Hongjun's Phoenix, did not directly burn through Shi Quan's vine wall.
Firstly, Shi Quan's own divine Internal Energy made the Blue Silver King resistant to various elemental attacks. Additionally, the Tenfold Perfect Great Restoration Pill that Shi Quan consumed contained the medicinal power of two Immortal Herbs: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Inferno Apricot Delicate Heart.
Not only did fire not restrain the Blue Silver King, but the Blue Silver King also had a great resistance to fire itself. Although Ma Hongjun's evil fire was special, due to the difference in spirit power Rank between the two, the Blue Silver King directly immunized itself against Ma Hongjun's flame scorching. However, the energy impact brought by the Phoenix Fire Wire could not be immunized by the Blue Silver King.
That was why the Blue Silver Vine Wall, derived from Blue Silver Growth, showed a recessed phenomenon.
"Boss Dai, his plant Spirit has a very strong flame resistance," Ma Hongjun quickly stated his discovery.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Dai Mubai said, his eyes showing no fear. If a plant Spirit had high flame resistance, then the added spirit rings must be related to resistance. In that case, the toughness of this plant Spirit would definitely be relatively low.
A normal person would definitely choose to leap over or go around, but Dai Mubai did not think that way. He wanted to catch Shi Quan off guard, so he planned to charge directly through the vine wall in front of him and attack Shi Quan from an unexpected direction!
Thinking this, Dai Mubai's first spirit ring below him lit up, and a white light condensed around his body, forming a white light shield that enveloped Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai then strode forward, charging towards the spot where Ma Hongjun's fire line had impacted.
"Fatty!" Hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Ma Hongjun immediately retracted his Phoenix Fire Wire.
In its place was Dai Mubai's figure, appearing like a train before the vine wall. His claws met, held before his mouth. He was preparing to use his sharp claws to push aside the vines just as he was about to burst through, and then directly release his Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave.
Despite the barrier of the vine wall, Shi Quan still detected Dai Mubai's intention. Seeing this, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and his second spirit ring below him quietly lit up.
Harden, activate!
Thud!
A muffled boom echoed through the street. The surrounding onlookers retreated even further.
White light exploded. Dai Mubai only saw a flash of dark light on the Blue Silver Vine Wall, and then his first sensation was pain—intense, piercing pain. The violent impact not only failed to shake the Blue Silver Vine Wall in the slightest, but with this collision, Dai Mubai's first Spirit Ability, White Tiger Body Protection Shield, was directly shattered by his own impact. Under the fierce collision, Dai Mubai couldn't react at all. His tiger claws, originally intended to push aside the Blue Silver Vines, now slammed hard into his face. Bright red blood flowed from his nose, instantly turning him into a big calico cat, making him feel a dizzy spell.
Just as he was briefly dazed, Shi Quan's first spirit ring below him lit up again. A large amount of Blue Silver King grew out from within the vine wall. Before Dai Mubai could react, he felt his body tighten, and he was completely enveloped by these peculiar plants.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun once again spat out Phoenix Fire Wire, trying to help Dai Mubai escape.
Just as he was spitting flames, the Blue Silver King had already rapidly grown to his feet.
Ma Hongjun had not expected that Shi Quan could simultaneously control Dai Mubai and divide his attention to deal with him. Moreover, the growth speed of these plants was too fast. He reacted too slowly and immediately suffered the same fate as Dai Mubai. Struggling to break free, he found these plants to be exceptionally tough. Although the Binding force was not strong, he simply couldn't break free.
The speed at which Blue Silver Growth produced Blue Silver Vines was twice that of normal spirit power generation. Shi Quan had initially used spirit power to generate them, which gave the two a misconception that the plants' growth speed was only that fast. They also mistakenly believed that the first Spirit Ability Shi Quan released was to quickly grow a wall of Blue Silver Grass for defense.
The two of them had no idea that his Spirit Ability was simply Blue Silver Growth.
Facing the layers of stacked Blue Silver King vines, Dai Mubai's expression also turned grim. Without any hesitation, the double pupils in Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes instantly merged, and his third spirit ring instantly lit up, bursting with crystalline purple light.
The Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, was released. Following his Spirit Possession, Dai Mubai transformed again. His body instantly swelled, muscles bulged, and black stripes appeared on his skin. His tiger claws grew even larger, and the barbed hooks that popped out from them shimmered with a bright silver luster.
After releasing the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai clearly felt the toughness of the Blue Silver King. Even with the thousand-year Spirit Ability's amplification, his tiger claws could not directly break free from the Blue Silver King surrounding his body. It took three consecutive tears to barely cut a single Blue Silver King. As for the layers of Blue Silver King surrounding his body, how long would it take him to tear them all apart?
Before Dai Mubai could think further, he noticed a familiar dark light appearing on the plants Binding his body. The next second, he found that the originally soft plants suddenly became incredibly hard. At the same time, the thick vine wall in front of him also receded, revealing Shi Quan's figure.
"Boss Dai, what should we do? I can't break free," Ma Hongjun struggled frantically, but found he couldn't budge the surrounding plants in the slightest.
Looking at the shining second spirit ring below Shi Quan.
Dai Mubai's expression was grim. What could he do? He couldn't break free either. The plants below him were too hard. If he used his Second Soul Skill, and the opponent dodged, he would be completely defenseless. If he attacked the plants Binding him, even if he broke them, he would have to pay a significant price himself.
But to let him give up like this, how could it be possible? He saw that Shi Quan deliberately didn't bind their heads, perhaps just to toy with them. If anyone dared to toy with his Evil Eyes White Tiger, he would certainly make them pay the price.
Thinking this, Dai Mubai had already secretly circulated the spirit power within his body, beginning to prepare.
"As I said in the Spirit Arena, if one person can't win, then a group of people will come. It's a pity, though, that even together, you two are no match for me," Shi Quan said lightly, slowly walking towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai looked at the approaching Shi Quan, feigning an angry and unwilling expression, and said, "If you have the guts, let me go, and we'll fight another three hundred rounds?"
"Birds of a feather flock together. Indeed, people who hang out with imbeciles aren't very intelligent either."
"Who are you calling… an imbecile?!" As his words fell, Dai Mubai's second spirit ring below him suddenly lit up, and a vast white light instantly condensed.
Dai Mubai looked at Shi Quan, who was within arm's reach, a victorious smile appearing in his eyes. At such close range, Shi Quan would have no time to release his Spirit to block or evade. Even if Shi Quan was stronger, taking this White Tiger Light Wave hit would still severely injure him.
"I'm talking about you!" Shi Quan's eyes were full of disdain and mockery. After absorbing the Holy Dragon Eight Spears, he was particularly sensitive to spirit power fluctuations. Even without using his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan had already detected Dai Mubai's subtle movements.
Dodge?
Why dodge?
Looking at the almost condensed white light sphere, Shi Quan flashed directly in front of Dai Mubai, raised his palm, and *smack*!
A crisp sound rang out. The powerful force directly slapped Dai Mubai's head to the other side, also leaving Dai Mubai stunned.
The next second, a milky white light sphere spewed from his mouth. The White Tiger Light Wave, due to Shi Quan's slap, directly changed direction, and this direction, without deviation, was precisely aimed at Ma Hongjun, who was beside Dai Mubai!
"Fatty!" Dai Mubai cried out urgently.
Ma Hongjun had originally thought Dai Mubai could make a desperate comeback and lead him to victory, but he never expected that this desperate counterattack would fly towards himself. He could only circulate his spirit power and once again release his Phoenix Fire Wire, charging towards Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave.
One was a Rank 38 Spirit Elder, the other a Rank 28 Spirit Grandmaster.
One was a Second Soul Skill, the other a First Soul Skill.
The difference was immediately clear, and the outcome was predictable.
Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Wire had just gushed from his mouth when the White Tiger Light Wave directly forced the gushing flames back.
With a boom.
White light scattered, flames exploded.
How could Ma Hongjun's hasty attack block Dai Mubai's full-force White Tiger Light Wave?
He was almost instantly severely injured and fell unconscious on the spot. However, due to the Blue Silver King's Binding, he remained standing upright, motionless.
"Fatty!"
Oscar, who was watching from the side, also let out a cry of surprise. He hadn't expected things to develop to this point, and his expression suddenly changed.
Smack!
Another crisp slap sound came.
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot. He only felt a burning pain in his cheek. "How dare you humiliate me like this! I'll kill you!"
"Your strength isn't much, but your mouth is quite something," Shi Quan said lightly, then slapped again. "Say it again…"
"You…" Dai Mubai was enraged, but at this moment, he was in a disadvantageous position and had no choice but to bow his head.
"You what? You what?"
However, what greeted him were two more slaps. "Even if you're not convinced, bear with it."
Saying that, Shi Quan punched him in the eye socket again. "If I hadn't won against you, then I would be the one getting hammered. You guys started this, so…"
Another punch, and both of Dai Mubai's eye sockets became panda eyes. "…just take the beating obediently!"Chapter 115 Pig Head Dai Mubai
"...You're quite heavy-handed with your own people, aren't you...?"
Shi Quan's slaps and punches rained down on Dai Mubai's face like raindrops. In a short while, Dai Mubai's face swelled up like a pig's head, and he became dazed. His Spirit had been released at some point.
"Rongrong, Boss Dai and Fatty are from the same Academy as us, so how about we just let it go?" Oscar couldn't bear to watch and spoke up.
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, "They brought this trouble upon themselves. As for being from the same Academy, if Grandmaster that good-for-nothing hadn't been saying every day that we're a team, I wouldn't even bother with Dai Mubai. Have you forgotten what Zhuang Zhou said before? Whoever causes the trouble deals with it themselves. If he dares to provoke, he's seeking his own death. What does it have to do with us? One by one, every day, they get a little strength and think they're all that, not knowing that there's always a higher heaven and a greater person. Daring to trouble Shi Quan, they're just asking for trouble."
"But Rongrong…" Oscar still wanted to persuade her.
Ning Rongrong didn't give him a chance, "But what? I have to listen to him, and you want me to persuade him?"
"You have to listen to him?" Oscar seemed to have heard some shocking news and stood there stunned.
Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to lose consciousness, Shi Quan finally withdrew his hand, losing interest, and looked at Ning Rongrong, saying, "Don't spread rumors anymore. As for those two, you can take them back yourselves. I'm going back."
Shi Quan clenched his right hand, and the Blue Silver King dissipated. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Shi Quan, wait for me." Ning Rongrong quickly chased after him.
"Stop…" Shi Quan quickly raised his hand to stop her, "I'm going back to the hotel to rest. Let's all go back to our own homes and find our own mothers."
"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong's expression stiffened, and she snorted coldly, then asked, "Which hotel are you staying at?"
"No, no, no." Shi Quan quickly waved his hand, saying, "Being able to teach such students, the teacher can't be much better, right? If I tell you, and they pass it back, I feel like they'll come looking for trouble with me again."
Oscar's expression stiffened. What Shi Quan said was true. If the Dean knew that Shi Quan had just given Xiao Wu a good beating, and now he had made his Personal Disciple Ma Hongjun like this and beaten Dai Mubai like this, he would probably fly to Soto City immediately and give him a severe beating.
"…" Ning Rongrong also looked at Oscar with some hesitation.
On the other side, Shi Quan's figure flashed, instantly blending into the crowd.
By the time Ning Rongong reacted, Shi Quan was nowhere to be found.
"Damn Shi Quan." Ning Rongrong stamped her foot in annoyance, looking angrily at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun on the ground, and said to Oscar, "I'm not going to bother with those two. If you want to take them back, you take them back yourself."
With that, Ning Rongrong turned and walked away.
Seeing this, Oscar's mouth also curved into a bitter smile. If he had to carry one person, he could manage, but with both of them unconscious, how could he carry them alone?
Their injuries were probably so severe that even eating his Big Sausage wouldn't wake them up quickly.
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go.
Oscar could only grit his teeth and spend a few silver coins to hire a few people to help him carry the two unconscious individuals back to the Academy.
…
Shrek Academy.
Shao Xin's room.
He had just finished treating Xiao Wu and was about to go to bed when *knock, knock, knock*, a knock sounded at the door again.
"Teacher, Teacher…" Oscar's voice came from outside the door.
"What is it, Little Ao?" Shao Xin frowned and opened the door.
"Teacher, Boss Dai and Fatty are injured. We might need your help with their treatment." Oscar pointed to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun on the stretcher behind him.
Shao Xin was stunned when he saw Dai Mubai's swollen pig-like face. "Is that Mubai? Who could have beaten Dai Mubai like this?"
Shao Xin quickly walked out, summoned his Candy Bean Spirit, quickly made a few healing candy beans, and put them into Dai Mubai's mouth. Only then did his attention fall on Ma Hongjun next to him, checking Ma Hongjun's injuries. It was fine until he checked, but once he did, he found something unusual.
"Little Ao, what happened to Fatty? His injuries must have been inflicted by Mubai, right?" As an Academy teacher, Shao Xin was well aware of each person's spirit power in the Academy. He immediately noticed the anomaly upon checking.
"Teacher, these were all accidents. Boss Dai was also set up by someone." Oscar said helplessly.
"You'd better think about how you're going to explain this to the Dean tomorrow." Shao Xin glared at Oscar, "Mubai's injuries are all superficial. They look terrible, but they're not serious. Fatty looks fine on the surface, but his internal injuries are severe. If I'm not mistaken, he must have taken a hit from Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave, right? Even with my treatment, he'll have to lie down for a day or two, which will definitely delay your training during the day."
"Ah?" Oscar's expression turned bitter, and he could only change the subject, "How is Xiao Wu doing?"
Shao Xin said, "Xiao Wu also only has some superficial injuries, but it seems she's a bit sad because her hair was cut."
"Understood. I will explain to the Dean tomorrow."
"Alright, then you handle it yourself." Shao Xin looked at Dai Mubai, who was still lying on the ground, nodded at Oscar, and returned to his room.
"Boss Dai, stop pretending. The teacher said you only have some superficial injuries. Get up quickly. There's no one else here." Oscar said faintly to Dai Mubai on the ground.
Dai Mubai's originally swollen face had rapidly subsided under Shao Xin's Candy Bean treatment, but there were still clear slap marks and a pair of panda eyes on his face.
"Hiss." Dai Mubai slowly opened his eyes. With a slight movement of his bruised eyes, Dai Mubai couldn't help but gasp in pain.
"What's the plan?" Oscar laboriously carried Ma Hongjun onto his back.
"What plan? Let's go back to the dorm first." Dai Mubai cursed, "As long as that kid stays in Soto City for one day, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
"As for tomorrow, we'll just be honest with the Dean. I want to see if Ning Rongrong will reveal that kid's background when facing the Dean and Little San's questions."
"Aren't you making things difficult for Rongrong?" Oscar whispered.
"Little Ao, you ungrateful brat who prioritizes women over friends, say that again?" Dai Mubai's tiger eyes widened.
"As if you don't do the same." Oscar muttered softly.
"What did you say?!" Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Oscar. His mouth stretched in pain with the larger arc of his words, making him look particularly comical.
Oscar quickly waved his hand and said, "I just wanted to say that the name 'Dugu Qiubai' should be Shi Quan. Rongrong calls him that. However, his background seems to be extraordinary. When we were in Soto City before, Rongrong personally told me that even she has to listen to Shi Quan. Ning Rongrong is someone who isn't afraid of even the Dean, yet she has to listen to Shi Quan. And don't forget, his second spirit ring is a thousand-year one. I've never heard of anyone whose second spirit ring could absorb a thousand-year one. I think the power behind him is also extraordinary, and I'm afraid the Academy can't afford to provoke him."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. "So what if he's extraordinary? I'm not afraid of him. What if he absorbed a thousand-year one? Didn't Little San also successfully absorb a spirit ring that surpassed his level for his third spirit ring? His third spirit ring was over two thousand years old!"
"Little Ao, I won't make things difficult for you in this matter. You don't have to say anything tomorrow. We'll handle it ourselves." Saying that, Dai Mubai took Ma Hongjun from Oscar's back and turned to walk towards their dorm.
Seeing this, Oscar could only sigh helplessly and return to his empty dorm alone. Looking at the empty bed on one side of the room, Oscar's eyes seemed to wander.
"I can only rely on myself!"
After muttering to himself, Oscar sat cross-legged on the bed and began to Cultivate seriously.
The next morning.
As the Shrek Academy's assembly bell rang, six of the Shrek students, excluding Ma Hongjun, arrived at the training ground one after another.
Compared to their usual vibrant selves, Xiao Wu clutched her scorpion braid, which just reached her shoulders, and her eyes seemed distant. She looked exceptionally tired.
Dai Mubai had his head bowed, while Ning Rongrong looked refreshed.
"Mubai, what's wrong? And where's Ma Hongjun?" As soon as Flender arrived at the training ground, he noticed the bruises on Dai Mubai's face and frowned immediately.
"Dean…" Dai Mubai reluctantly recounted what happened last night. Dai Mubai still didn't make things difficult for Oscar. He only said that Ning Rongrong knew 'Dugu Qiubai' and that his and Ma Hongjun's injuries were caused by this 'Dugu Qiubai'.
After listening, Flender's eyes were also filled with anger. In his opinion, it was normal to be beaten if one's skills were inferior, but Shi Quan dared to insult his students like this, which he absolutely could not accept.
Especially after knowing Ning Rongrong and the specific identity and background of that Dugu Qiubai, both of them looked at Ning Rongrong, who was standing aside as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Don't look at me. If you want revenge, you have to win against him with your own strength. I can't help you…" Ning Rongrong waved her hand, looked at Tang San, and then at Flender, "As for the Dean, if you want to bully the weak, then you can certainly go trouble him. But I'll warn you, you'd better be prepared to be chased and hammered by a Titled Douluo."
"Titled Douluo?" Flender's expression stiffened, and he cursed in his heart, *When did Titled Douluo just appear out of nowhere?*
If someone else had said that, Flender would naturally be skeptical, but coming from Ning Rongrong's mouth, the meaning was different.
Behind Ning Rongrong stood the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the two great Douluo, Sword and Bone. Since she said so, then at least one Titled Douluo stood behind this 'Dugu Qiubai'.
"Ning Rongrong is right. If you lose, then you have to win it back yourselves." Grandmaster spoke at the right time, "Spirit Masters naturally restrain each other. No one is invincible. You are a whole. Don't be discouraged by a single personal failure. This incident is telling you the importance of partners. In yesterday's situation, if 'Dugu Qiubai' had encountered Little San or Zhuqing, the outcome would have been different…"
