Chapter 61 The Sad Big Cat
In terms of both talent and resources, Zhu Zhuqing was no match for Ning Rongrong, and she was even a little younger than Ning Rongrong.
However, her spirit power level was one rank higher than Ning Rongrong's, which was the result of her desperate cultivation over the years.
But now, Zhu Zhuqing discovered that even though she had worked hard and desperately, what was the use?
Dai Mubai had already given up and fallen into depravity; would her efforts alone be enough? Could she, by herself, contend with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun?
Thinking of this, tears began to well up in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
She had traveled thousands of miles from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy to find Dai Mubai, and the journey was not so peaceful; she had encountered assassins sent by Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.
But even in the most dangerous times, she had never despaired.
However, the current Zhu Zhuqing felt that her life had lost its color.
"Zhuqing, what's wrong? Don't cry~?"
Seeing the tears falling from Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Xiao Wu was a little at a loss.
"Yes, yes, Zhuqing, don't cry~"
Ning Rongrong was also a little anxious. Why was she fine just a moment ago, but now she looked like this?
"I know though~"
Ye Chen, who was beside them, spoke up.
"Brother, do you know why Zhuqing is like this?"
Xiao Wu asked Ye Chen.
"Zhu Zhuqing comes from the Hell Civet Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. Dai Mubai is a direct descendant of the Dai Family of the Star Luo Royal Family. The direct descendants of the Dai Family and the Zhu Family have been intermarrying for generations.
The Dai Family's succession mechanism for the throne is quite cruel, adopting a survival of the fittest system. Besides the Crown Prince, the other princes either die or are crippled.
This ensures that every generation's Star Luo Emperor is the most outstanding one in the Royal Family and guarantees the stability of the throne.
Dai Mubai's ability to come to Shrek Academy is likely because he couldn't endure the suppression from other princes and chose to escape, running to Shrek Academy three years ago."
"So that's how it is!"
Ning Rongrong had also heard a little about the Star Luo Royal Family's Crown Prince selection mechanism, and now she remembered, immediately despising Dai Mubai.
Abandoning his fiancée and running away by himself – is that something a person would do?
"Hiss~, is there such a cruel competition? Aren't they all brothers?"
Xiao Wu was stunned and said with some disbelief.
In Xiao Wu's view, shouldn't brothers love each other? Why would they act like this?
"Even ordinary families have brothers who turn against each other due to uneven property distribution, let alone the throne of the Star Luo Empire. Even if they are brothers, what then? What needs to be fought for will still be fought for."
"Isn't it just a broken throne? Is it worth being so cherished?"
Xiao Wu was a little confused.
"Xiao Wu, we have good talent, so naturally we don't cherish it, but for others, it's different.
Even if you don't fight for it, others will try every possible way to fight for it. There's no saying that taking a step back will lead to a broader sky."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at his innocent little rabbit.
"Brother, can you help Zhuqing? Why should Dai Mubai's lack of ambition implicate Zhuqing?"
Xiao Wu deeply sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing's plight and started to whine, hugging Ye Chen's arm.
"Okay, give me ten years, and I can crush anyone who defies me."
Ye Chen felt that after ten years, even if he couldn't become a Divinity, he would definitely become a Titled Douluo. Crushing a Star Luo Empire would be effortless, wouldn't it?
"Crush anyone who defies you? You're bragging, aren't you?
Besides, in ten years, the yellow flower dishes would have already gone cold.
Zhuqing, why don't you join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Then I'll have my father annul your engagement, and you won't have to worry about that scumbag Dai Mubai."
Ning Rongrong offered Zhu Zhuqing a suggestion.
Indeed, if Zhu Zhuqing had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as her backing, she wouldn't have to worry about this issue at all.
Perhaps the overall strength of the Star Luo Empire was indeed above that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the Star Luo Empire would certainly not be willing to confront the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School just for one Zhu Zhuqing.
"Rongrong, thank you, but no need. I believe I can change my own destiny!"
Wiping away her tears, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes showed a determined glint.
"Right, that's the spirit, Zhuqing, you can do it!"
Just then, a 'clang, clang, clang' of bells sounded from the direction of the training grounds.
"What is that?"
Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Wu.
"That's the dean's bell to gather the students. Let's finish eating quickly and go assemble!"
Subsequently, the four of them quickly finished breakfast and hurried towards the training grounds.
...
When Ye Chen arrived at the large training grounds, Oscar was already there, chewing on a Sausage he had made himself.
Not long after, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also returned together.
However, on Dai Mubai's neck, there was a bright red hickey, clearly from playing a 'little game' last night and forgetting to wipe it off in the morning.
Dai Mubai hadn't noticed, but everyone else had.
Seeing this hickey, Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately darkened.
"Zhuqing, don't be sad. That kind of scumbag isn't worth your tears!"
Ning Rongrong, who was beside her, noticed this and immediately said to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Huh? Mubai, there's a hickey on your neck!"
Oscar pointed to Dai Mubai's neck.
"Little Ao, what do you know! This is proof of a true man!"
Dai Mubai's personality was very arrogant. He couldn't very well say that he had just come out of the 'Red Ocean' at the Rose Hotel, could he? He could only say it like this~.
"Huh? Two new junior sisters have arrived at the Academy?"
At this moment, Dai Mubai noticed the newly arrived Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Suddenly, Dai Mubai's expression changed slightly, because he felt an abnormal stir in his White Tiger Spirit, and the source of the stir was precisely Zhu Zhuqing.
"You are?"
Dai Mubai asked Zhu Zhuqing.
Although the two had an engagement, they actually had no emotional foundation.
After all, when Dai Mubai ran away to Shrek Academy, he was only 12 years old.
And at that time, Zhu Zhuqing was only 9 years old. Coupled with Zhu Zhuqing's rapid development over the past few years, Dai Mubai couldn't recognize her for a while, nor did he associate his fiancée, who was far away in the Star Luo Empire, with coming to Shrek Academy to find him.
"Scumbag, get out of the way!"
Xiao Wu immediately scolded him.
Girls are naturally emotional, and Xiao Wu, understanding Dai Mubai's actions, naturally disliked him very much.
"You~!"
Scolded by Xiao Wu, anger immediately surged in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he pointed fiercely at Xiao Wu. However, due to Ye Chen and Xiao Wu both being stronger than him, he didn't utter any harsh words.
"What 'you'? If you keep pointing your finger around, I'll dislocate it for you!"
Ye Chen looked at Dai Mubai with an unfriendly expression.
"Hmph~"
Dai Mubai suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged glances. Although Dai Mubai usually acted tough, when facing Ye Chen, he was always the one who ended up looking foolish.Chapter 62 The Real Assistance
Just then, Flender walked over.
Flender walked up to everyone, scanned Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing with his 'four eyes', and then said to everyone: "Very good, this year our Academy has two more Little freaks. I, Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy, welcome your arrival on behalf of the Academy.
Later, each of you will pay one hundred gold coins to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finance."
"Wait~"
Ye Chen spoke.
"What's the matter, kid?"
Flender pushed up his glasses.
"Dean Flender, we agreed that Xiao Wu and I would be admitted for free!" Ye Chen said seriously.
Flender: "....."
"Cough cough, well, you and Xiao Wu's can be waived."
In fact, Flender, due to his ill-gotten gains, wasn't short on gold coins, he was just following the usual practice.
"Hmm, thank you, Dean Flender!" Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Although he wasn't short on gold coins, this was something they had agreed upon, and he couldn't go back on his word.
"Dean, Brother Chen and Sister Xiao Wu are both admitted for free. How about you let me in for free too?"
Oscar, who didn't have much money in his pocket, was the first to respond. Ma Hongjun was also eager, as one hundred gold coins could buy him quite a few beautiful Miss.
"Hmm? Oscar, come talk to me when you advance to Spirit Ancestor!" Flender glared at Oscar in dissatisfaction. Although Shrek Academy wasn't short of those one hundred gold coins now, Flender's stingy nature hadn't changed at all. What needed to be paid, absolutely could not be less!
"Alright, Xiao Wu, later you can explain the Academy's rules to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Now, except for Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the rest of you can go back and rest. There's still evening class tonight."
Saying that, Flender waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai left. The two of them had worked hard last night and were still a bit sleepy. To have energy in the evening, they had to conserve their energy during the day.
However, Ye Chen, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing did not leave.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry to leave, and since Ye Chen didn't leave, Xiao Wu didn't either. Zhu Zhuqing, seeing that the two girls in the Academy were still there, also wanted to see what Flender was up to.
Seeing that the three of them hadn't left, Flender didn't mind and began to lecture Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
"Both of you are support system Spirit Masters, one for attribute amplification, and the other for a food system Spirit.
Spirit Masters like you, whether on the battlefield or in daily life, need to be protected by companions, otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to survive.
Who can tell me, as a support system Spirit Master, how to better protect oneself on the battlefield?"
"I know!" Before the two support system Spirit Masters could speak, Ye Chen interjected.
"Oh? Then you tell me~" Flender became interested, wanting to hear Ye Chen's insights.
"Low-end support, of course, is to hide behind powerful teammates, or learn to run away!"
"Low-end support? So there's high-end support too?" Relying on teammates or running away, this was also Flender's understanding of support system Spirit Masters, but why were support system Spirit Masters divided into high-end and low-end? Flender was a bit confused.
"That's right, high-end support is to rush up and help teammates eliminate all opponents, that's real support!" Ye Chen said seriously.
Perhaps on the Douluo Continent, most Spirit Masters' impression of support system Spirit Masters was that they were weaklings who only cried, but Ye Chen knew that in team fights, sometimes the support was the fiercest one.
Able to output, support, and heal, truly formidable!
Of course, high-end support is not something just anyone can achieve. The same applies to the Douluo Continent; certain prerequisites must be met!
"Cough cough, Ye Chen, are you misunderstanding something about support?" Flender was caught off guard, and even the others nearby looked at Ye Chen with strange expressions.
"That's not true, who says support system Spirit Masters can't be more powerful than battle Spirit Masters?"
"Oh? A support system Spirit Master can be more powerful than a battle Spirit Master? Do tell."
Flender was curious to hear how Ye Chen would make a support system Spirit Master more powerful than a battle Spirit Master.
Oscar knew roughly, because Ye Chen had told him before.
But Ning Rongrong was different. She was also a support system Spirit Master, and one who was considered 'powerless'. Her eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Ye Chen.
Every support system Spirit Master has a heart for offense, and Ning Rongrong was no exception.
"You can make up for the lack of strength through Spirit Bone. If you can collect a complete set of 100,000-year Spirit Bone, you can have twelve 100,000-year Soul Bone Skills. 100,000-year Soul Bone Skills are comparable to 100,000-year Spirit Abilities. In this way, your combat power will definitely crush battle Spirit Masters of the same level!
Even if you don't have 100,000-year Spirit Bone, a set of 10,000-year Spirit Bone will do. With six 10,000-year Soul Bone Skills, plus your own support Spirit Abilities and the amplification brought by the Spirit Bone, your strength will basically be above battle Spirit Masters of the same level."
...
Flender was speechless. He thought Ye Chen had some good ideas, but it was just this?
Who doesn't know that Spirit Bone comes with Soul Bone Skills? But Spirit Bone is a rare item, is it that easy to obtain?
"Dean Flender, don't look at me like that. I bet that Oscar and Ning Rongrong's future strength will definitely not be inferior to battle Spirit Masters of the same level!"
"Really?"
Flender was a little surprised.
"Of course it's true. Ordinary people can't get Spirit Bone, but can't Ning Rongrong get it? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might not be able to get 100,000-year Spirit Bone, but 10,000-year Spirit Bone is not difficult to obtain.
As for Oscar, there is a Spirit Beast on the Douluo Continent called the Mirror Shadow Beast. The innate Spirit Ability of this Spirit Beast is replication. After Oscar adds this spirit ring, a replicated Sausage should appear.
Then find a powerful genius of the same level in terms of combat power. Even if the effect of the replicated Spirit Ability is discounted, Oscar's combat power will definitely not be too bad."
Spirit Bone is different from spirit ring. After a Spirit Master dies, the spirit ring is gone, but the Spirit Bone can still be inherited after being stripped off.
And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a long history. Even if not many new Spirit Bone are obtained with each generation, over time, there are still quite a few Spirit Bone within the Sect.
As the Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong definitely has the right to obtain Spirit Bone. Perhaps Ning Fengzhi had already prepared it for her after she awakened her Spirit.
It's just that Ning Rongrong was too young, and there were many cases of killing for Spirit Bone, which is why she wasn't allowed to refine it yet.
Flender raised his eyebrows. If what Ye Chen said was true, then Oscar and Ning Rongrong would indeed possess considerable combat power in the future.Chapter 63 Flanders' Plan
'Wait, I almost got led astray by this kid.'
Flender's purpose in lecturing Oscar and Ning Rongrong this time was not truly to ask for their insights on support.
Previously, Flender had received a letter from Ning Fengzhi, asking him to discipline Ning Rongrong on his behalf.
After receiving Ning Fengzhi's entrustment, Flender pondered for a long time and finally came up with some strategies, which he was now enacting according to the original script! He couldn't let Ye Chen mess things up.
"Alright, we'll talk about these things later! What Ye Chen said earlier was very true: a support system Spirit Master must learn to run away.
And your lesson for today is physical training.
From now on, run twenty laps around the entire village. If you haven't run back before lunch, you won't get to eat.
Additionally, you can use your Spirit for assistance.
Oscar, you're in charge of leading the way!"
"Ah~, Dean, no way~!"
Although the village where Shrek Academy was located was not large, Oscar understood that when Flender referred to the entire village, he included the farmlands within it.
One lap would be at least three kilometers, and twenty laps would be sixty kilometers.
Such a long distance, he was just a support, running it would probably cost him half his life, right?
"Why so much nonsense? Go run now!"
Flender's eyes widened, and Oscar immediately gave in.
How could he not know that a twenty-lap run was a very difficult challenge for a two-ring support system Spirit Master?
It was just to ensure the plan unfolded smoothly, nothing more.
"Yes~"
Oscar responded weakly and started running.
As for Ning Rongrong, she didn't understand how far these twenty laps truly were and also followed along.
Watching Oscar and Ning Rongrong start running, Flender's face broke into a smile, thinking of the promise Ning Fengzhi had made, like an old fox who had stolen a chicken, feeling delighted~.
"Dean Flender, what good news are you thinking about?"
Ye Chen had a rough guess about Flender's pleasant mood. How could Ning Fengzhi entrust Flender with disciplining Ning Rongrong without giving him some service fees?
Ning Fengzhi was a big magnate; even a small amount from his fingers would be enough to make Flender's mouth water. These service fees would certainly not be small.
Flender: "..."
Glaring at Ye Chen, Flender said nothing and simply walked away.
"Brother, can Oscar and Rongrong finish these twenty laps?"
After Flender left, Xiao Wu asked Ye Chen.
"Oscar should be able to. As for Ning Rongrong, I estimate it won't be long before you see her on the streets of Soto City."
The current Ning Rongrong was not a well-behaved girl, but a little devil. How could she obediently run?
If it were just a few laps, Ning Rongrong might have persevered, but twenty laps, that was absolutely impossible.
"Ah~, no way? Isn't Rongrong quite well-behaved? She shouldn't disobey the Dean, right?"
After a short period of interaction, in Xiao Wu's eyes, Ning Rongrong was a little lady and should be relatively obedient.
"You don't need to worry about her. Let's go to Soto City! It's been a while since I took you out to play."
"Go to Soto City to play, yay!"
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was taking her out to play, Xiao Wu immediately became excited.
"Zhuqing, are you coming?"
Xiao Wu turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
"I won't go. I need to seize the time to cultivate!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. What to do if her talent wasn't strong? Naturally, make up for it with hard work!
With that, Zhu Zhuqing left the training ground.
"Brother, Zhuqing is so diligent!"
Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing was going to cultivate, Xiao Wu said with admiration.
"Zhu Zhuqing's talent is not as good as ours, so she naturally has to work twice as hard, otherwise, she will definitely be left far behind by us in the future."
Indeed, among the people at Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing was the most diligent.
Hmm, if we talk about who is the laziest, Xiao Wu should be ranked first, even lazier than Oscar.
If it weren't for Xiao Wu's inherent good talent, coupled with the enhancement from the Immortal Herb, she wouldn't have reached Spirit Ancestor at level 49 by now.
"Let's go, let's go have some fun in Soto City!"
Ye Chen patted Xiao Wu's head.
"Mm-hmm, let's go!"
...
On the streets of Soto City, Xiao Wu looked at the dazzling array of goods in the shops along the street, fully displaying a woman's talent for shopping.
Fortunately, Ye Chen wasn't short on this small amount of money. As long as Xiao Wu liked something, he would buy it without a second thought.
Unconsciously, a whole morning passed.
"Brother, I'm hungry. Let's go eat there!"
Xiao Wu pointed to a well-decorated hotel ahead, named 'Tulip Restaurant', and said to Ye Chen.
"Alright, let's go have a big meal!"
Ye Chen nodded, secretly thinking: 'Finally, we've stopped!'
To be honest, when women go shopping, they're like they've had a shot of adrenaline, full of energy, men simply can't compare.
After shopping all morning, Xiao Wu was still lively, but Ye Chen was a bit wilted, his Spirit somewhat listless.
Subsequently, Ye Chen took Xiao Wu and walked into the Tulip Restaurant.
However, as soon as they entered, they saw Ning Rongrong, who should have been running at Shrek Academy, sitting at a window seat, enjoying a big meal.
"Hey~, isn't that Rongrong? Why is she here?"
Xiao Wu asked Ye Chen.
"I was right earlier, Ning Rongrong definitely wouldn't obediently go running."
Ye Chen wasn't surprised that Ning Rongrong hadn't run obediently, but he was a bit surprised that they would run into her.
After all, Soto City was a big city, and the chances of meeting were quite small.
"Brother, can you predict the future?"
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Chen with a strange expression.
"I can't do that. Flender told her to run twenty laps around the entire village, and Ning Rongrong is a pampered young lady, how could she possibly persevere? She would definitely think of ways to slack off~"
"That's true. Could Dean Flender be targeting Rongrong?"
Xiao Wu thought about it too. Although twenty laps were nothing to her, it would be different for Ning Rongrong. Even if she could persevere, the damage to her body would not be small.
Exercising is not about the longer the better; it requires reasonable planning. If one over-exercises, it may cause harm to the body.
"Rongrong, weren't you running? Why are you in Soto City?"
The two went forward, and Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong.
"Uh, you guys are here too~"
Ning Rongrong was a bit embarrassed that her slacking off had been discovered.
"Mm-hmm, my brother and I came to Soto City to shop."
"Shopping?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up, and she excitedly pulled Xiao Wu to discuss it.Chapter 64 The bridge is the bridge, the road is the road!
"Oh, right, Rongrong, aren't you afraid of Headmaster Flender scolding you for slacking off?"
Xiao Wu remembered the important point.
"No, no!"
Ning Rongrong felt that since she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Flender, a mere Soul Sage, wouldn't dare to say much.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was completely unaware that her father, Ning Fengzhi, had already 'sold her out'.
If Ning Fengzhi hadn't given a heads-up beforehand, then the Flender in the original story truly wouldn't have dared to say anything to Ning Rongrong.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not something Shrek Academy could provoke. If this little madam ran home to complain, wouldn't Flender be doomed?
It was only with Ning Fengzhi's entrustment that Flender had the confidence to discipline Ning Rongrong.
After lunch, with Ning Rongrong joining them, Xiao Wu was even more motivated to go shopping.
Throughout the entire afternoon, the miserable Ye Chen almost couldn't hold on.
In the evening, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, having had their fill of shopping, finally stopped and returned to Shrek Academy.
However, it was strange; as soon as they stopped shopping, Ye Chen felt like he had fully recovered.
...
As night fell, everyone gathered on the academy's training ground.
A moment later, Flender arrived.
After a quick glance around, Flender looked at Ye Chen and Xiao Wu with dissatisfaction, then focused his attention on Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
"Oscar, have you finished your twenty laps?"
Flender's sharp gaze fell upon Oscar.
"Headmaster, I finished."
Oscar said loudly.
"Hmph~, I asked about 'you all', not 'you'!"
Seeing Flender's displeased expression, Oscar turned to look at Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong was also looking at him, her beautiful large eyes seemingly speaking, with an innocent expression.
"This~, yes, we all finished!"
Oscar gritted his teeth and said with a sincere expression.
Hearing this, Flender revealed a sinister smile.
"Very good, Oscar, I didn't expect you to have such a spirit of camaraderie! Come here~."
Flender pointed to the spot in front of him.
Oscar's face showed a hint of a bitter smile as he walked over and stood in front of Flender.
"I appreciate your spirit of camaraderie. Since that's the case, go run another twenty laps and let me see how deep your camaraderie truly is!
Don't eat until you finish! I've sealed your spirit power, don't try to unseal it. Go on~."
Flender raised his right hand and lightly patted Oscar's shoulder, sealing the spirit power within his body.
Oscar immediately pulled a long face, giving Ning Rongrong a resentful look, but said nothing and obediently went to run.
"Alright, the lying Oscar has received his deserved punishment. Now it's the turn of the other liar!
Ning Rongrong, tell me, did you complete the lessons I assigned this morning?"
Flender looked at Ning Rongrong.
"I didn't. Twenty laps is too far, I was hungry and couldn't keep going!"
Ning Rongrong didn't lie, because she felt that Flender surely wouldn't dare to punish her.
"So, you ran off to Soto City by yourself to have a big meal?
And after meeting Ye Chen and Xiao Wu, the three of you went shopping in Soto City's commercial district and just returned. Am I right?"
Flender said with a smile.
"Uh, you were monitoring me?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. She never expected Flender to actually monitor her?
Flender ignored Ning Rongrong for the moment and turned to look at Ye Chen and Xiao Wu.
"Ye Chen, Xiao Wu, since you met Ning Rongrong in Soto City, why didn't you persuade her to come back and run?"
"Headmaster Flender, that's where you're wrong. Since you already discovered it at the time, why do you want us to say something? If you, the Headmaster, don't say anything, then what are we supposed to say?
Besides, Xiao Wu and I both thought Ning Rongrong had already completed her running lesson."
Ye Chen said to Flender with dissatisfaction.
In fact, when Flender was monitoring Ning Rongrong, Ye Chen, with his excellent mental force, had already sensed it, but he just didn't say anything.
"..."
Being retorted by Ye Chen like that, Flender almost choked.
'Damn it, this kid, whether he's right or wrong, he can always make others lose face.'
Fortunately, Flender was thick-skinned enough. He glared at Ye Chen, said no more unnecessary words, and turned to lecture Ning Rongrong.
Similar to the original story, Ning Rongrong, this little devil, step by step fell into the script that Flender had originally planned.
Under Flender's sharp words, Ning Rongrong, who suffered a 'critical hit', shed tears and ran back to her residence, crying.
"Xiao Wu, go comfort Ning Rongrong."
Seeing everything unfold according to his script, Flender secretly smugly turned to Xiao Wu and said.
"Oh~"
Xiao Wu responded and ran off to comfort Ning Rongrong.
"Alright, let's get ready to depart. Zhu Zhuqing, you're new, so I'm telling you in advance, be prepared!"
"Mhm!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously.
"Ye Chen, are you going to the evening class this time?"
Flender looked at Ye Chen.
Ever since Ye Chen and Xiao Wu obtained the Silver Spirit Fighting Badge, Flender no longer required Ye Chen to participate in spirit fights at the Great Spirit Arena in Soto City.
"Nothing to do, I'll go!"
Ye Chen regarded Da Mao Mi as meat in his bowl. If Da Mao Mi went, then he naturally had to follow, lest she be misled by Dai Mubai's sweet talk.
...
Soto Great Spirit Arena.
Everyone except Ye Chen participated in spirit fights.
Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing both won, but Dai Mubai lost to a Level 39 Spirit Elder, feeling somewhat dejected.
Out of the Great Spirit Arena, Ma Hongjun couldn't wait to go find a Miss.
"Brother Chen, I'll be leaving first, Dai Mubai, how about coming along?"
Ma Hongjun seemed to greet Ye Chen, then prepared to invite Dai Mubai to go with him.
"No!"
Dai Mubai glared at him angrily, his peripheral vision drifting towards Zhu Zhuqing.
"Uh, you're not coming with me? Oh right, you've been with those twins lately, so you naturally don't need to."
The somewhat slow-witted Ma Hongjun suddenly realized.
"Get lost, if you want to go, go by yourself!"
Dai Mubai waved his hand impatiently, motioning for Ma Hongjun to scram.
"Dai Mubai, that's where you're wrong. We're all classmates, how can you say 'get lost'? How about you demonstrate it for Ma Hongjun?"
When saying this, Ye Chen stood on the moral high ground, appearing as if classmates should be 'harmonious and friendly'.
"You~"
Facing Ye Chen's tit-for-tat, Dai Mubai's temper flared, but he dared not erupt.
'Brother Chen is truly Brother Chen!'
Seeing Dai Mubai get flustered, Ma Hongjun was secretly pleased.
"You what? Feeling itchy again? What are you pretending for in front of Zhuqing?"
Ye Chen said disdainfully.
"Dai Mubai, you disappoint me greatly. From now on, we go our separate ways!"
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent, spoke up. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Dai Mubai suddenly filled with disdain and contempt. After speaking, she turned and returned to the academy.Chapter 65: The Law of True Fragrance? It doesn't exist!
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
Dai Mubai, unable to bear it any longer, immediately flared up in anger.
Although he hadn't reacted when he first saw Zhu Zhuqing, after learning Zhu Zhuqing's name and Spirit, Dai Mubai understood that Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée, who was far away in the Star Luo Empire.
Now that Ye Chen had exposed his shortcomings, and Zhu Zhuqing had said such words, how could he endure it?
"Oh~, Little Tiger, are you itching for a fight again?"
Ye Chen looked at Dai Mubai with a playful expression.
"Damn it, White Tiger, possess!"
Instantly, the enraged Dai Mubai's Spirit possessed him, and he punched towards Ye Chen.
"Powerless rage~."
Pursing his lips, Ye Chen raised his left arm, swiftly grabbed Dai Mubai's incoming fist, and then delivered a 'Black Tiger Steals Heart' with his right fist to Dai Mubai's chest, directly sending Dai Mubai flying.
"Dai Mubai, from now on, stay away from Zhuqing. Don't be a toad dreaming of eating swan meat."
After warning Dai Mubai, Ye Chen turned and left the Great Spirit Arena.
'Holy cow, what a huge scoop! Did Brother Chen take a liking to Zhu Zhuqing?'
Ma Hongjun, on the side, couldn't help but smack his lips, seemingly having heard a big piece of gossip?
Although he wasn't clear about the exact relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, he could tell from Zhu Zhuqing's previous words that they should know each other. Perhaps Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's ex-girlfriend?
'No, that's not right. Dai Mubai has been at the Academy for three years, and I've never seen Zhu Zhuqing. Three years ago, Zhu Zhuqing was only nine years old, right?
Hiss~, could Dai Mubai even lay his hands on her?'
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun was immediately shocked. This Dai Mubai was too much of a beast. It was one thing for him to change women more frequently than clothes, but he could even lay his hands on a nine-year-old girl!
Ma Hongjun secretly made a decision in his heart: he should draw a clear line with Dai Mubai from now on, lest he be corrupted by bad company.
Although he was lustful, he wasn't lustful to this extent!
...
The next morning, everyone from Shrek Academy gathered on the training ground.
"Alright, everyone's here. Then today, we will begin our second lesson!"
Flender first glanced at Ning Rongrong, then looked at Oscar.
Instantly, Ye Chen had a bad premonition. Could it be that they were going to eat Oscar's Sausage?
If Oscar were a cute girl, even if the Sausage's incantation was a bit odd, Ye Chen would definitely eat it without any psychological burden.
Unfortunately, Oscar was a rough man, which made it completely different.
Besides, Oscar's spirit power level was quite different from his, so Ye Chen didn't lack this support.
——'I, Ye Chen, even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump off a building, I will not eat Oscar's big Sausage!'
Ye Chen secretly made up his mind. The law of true fragrance? It doesn't exist!
"Today's lesson is very simple!
Oscar, you are the protagonist today. Besides Oscar, each of you must eat the Sausage made from Oscar's spirit power."
Flender said with a smile.
"Eat the Sausage made by Oscar? Dean, what kind of lesson is this?"
As soon as Xiao Wu heard Flender's words, she couldn't help but exclaim. Sister Xiao Wu would never eat such a strange thing!
"This is called adaptive training! I ask you, is life more important or face more important?
This is also training for your mindset. If you can't even do this, how will you survive in the Spirit Master's world in the future?
To survive, you must use any means necessary. Let alone eating a Sausage, when life is in danger, even rats, cockroaches, and earthworms must be eaten."
Flender said with a serious expression.
"Dean, life is indeed more important than face.
But it's not as serious as you say. A storage spirit tool can hold a lot of food, so there's no way we'd have to eat things like rats and cockroaches."
Xiao Wu immediately retorted.
Her Sister Xiao Wu wasn't easily scared. Are you kidding? Without a Food-type Soul Master, would she starve to death?
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, whose faces had turned pale at the mention of eating rats and cockroaches, also recovered their senses and immediately looked at Flender with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Wu was right. Without a Food-type Soul Master, couldn't you just put more dry rations into your storage spirit tool?
Perhaps the space in the storage spirit tool was limited and couldn't hold too much, but if it was just for one person to eat, it would definitely be more than enough.
"Ahem~, well, Xiao Wu, the Sausage made by Oscar can not only fill your stomach but also has special effects."
Being rebuffed by Xiao Wu like this, Flender almost couldn't save face.
"The spirit power food made by a Food-type Soul Master, its effect after consumption is inherently not as great as the boost from a support system Soul Master. Plus, there's a significant level difference between Oscar and me, so the effect will also be discounted. Therefore, I won't eat it!"
Xiao Wu shook her head like a rattle-drum.
Besides, Sister Xiao Wu was the Big Sister of Shrek Academy. If she ate Oscar's strange Sausage, where would her authority as Big Sister be?
Don't look at Oscar's usual serious demeanor; in reality, he was also a repressed pervert.
"Ye Chen, what do you say?"
Flender, unable to persuade Xiao Wu, turned to look at Ye Chen.
"Dean, although Oscar's spirit power Sausage is indeed effective, since Xiao Wu doesn't want to eat it, then let's just forget it."
Ye Chen originally didn't intend to eat it. Now that Xiao Wu had refused first, Ye Chen naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot to make Flender give up the idea of making them eat the Sausage.
"..."
Flender was speechless. He had originally thought of having Ye Chen persuade Xiao Wu, but he never expected that Ye Chen, like Xiao Wu, would also be resistant to Oscar's Sausage.
'Am I getting old and falling behind the times? Young people nowadays don't cherish an excellent Food-type Soul Master anymore?'
Flender couldn't help but think to himself.
In Flender's opinion, although Oscar's incantation was a bit odd, the effect was very good, wasn't it?
If he had such an excellent Food-type Soul Master as a teammate, he would wake up smiling from his dreams; how could he dislike it?
"Dean, Brother Chen and Sister Xiao Wu are right. I think it's better not to eat Oscar's Sausage, right? Little Ao's thoughts are unhealthy, it feels quite awkward~"
Seeing Flender's Silence, Ma Hongjun said cautiously.
'Damn it, you're the one with unhealthy thoughts!'
Being told he had unhealthy thoughts by Ma Hongjun, that lewd little Fatty, Oscar cursed inwardly. In terms of filth, who in the Academy could compare to Ma Hongjun?
"Hmm? Little Fatty, you're very brave!"
Flender glared at Ma Hongjun. This little Fatty was learning bad things instead of good ones.
"Dean, I think this matter needs to be slowed down.
The two new junior sisters have just arrived at the Academy and are not yet familiar with Oscar, so they are definitely resistant psychologically. If they get familiar later, they might not be resistant anymore."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen decided to give Flender a way out, lest he be embarrassed.
