Defeating the Dean, Soul Power Increase

Tang San's words instantly shocked everyone once again.

It was as though whenever the subject had anything to do with Ning Rongrong, everyone was bound to be shocked.

It was also as though only after Ning Rongrong fought Dean Flender did everyone realize that defeating him might actually be possible.

After hearing Tang San's words, everyone fell silent again. Even Dai Mubai's newly kindled arrogance was snuffed out completely.

Everyone looked over again.

Sure enough.

Ning Rongrong, who had apparently been defeated, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth while staring coldly at Flender. She showed no intention of admitting defeat.

That look made Flender's heart tremble.

He didn't understand what ability Ning Rongrong still had to fight him again after ending up like this.

Nor did he understand why someone who had clearly lost would act as though she were the victor.

"Just how much strength does this Little Demoness still have?"

"Dean, you'd better be careful." Ning Rongrong raised the Ten Treasures Glazed Sword and gave a cold laugh.

Before Flender could understand what was happening.

Suddenly.

A dazzling emerald-green light appeared behind Flender, as though it could tear through space.

Even Flender, whose Soul Power Level was as high as seventy-six, couldn't avoid it once he noticed it.

Besides...

That emerald-green light was none other than the final strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash. Even if he wanted to dodge it, it was impossible.

Crack-

The final strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash hit Flender.

It was an attack that ignored all defenses, and it struck someone who was completely unprepared.

Flender's body, which had risen once again, was pierced by the light like a leaf at that moment, then slowly drifted down from midair like a leaf.

Compared with Ning Rongrong, who had spat blood, Flender was bleeding all over.

"That's really what happened!" Xiao Wu clapped a hand over her mouth in surprise. "But why did the final strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash suddenly appear behind the dean?"

She couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard she thought.

Tang San frowned and rushed forward to catch Flender. Everyone followed behind him, except Zhu Zhuqing, who ran toward Ning Rongrong.

Although Flender looked badly injured, it had only been a match, after all, and Ning Rongrong hadn't gone for the kill. Aside from losing too much blood, everything else was normal. After he ate the Big Sausage Oscar gave him, his condition gradually improved.

Ning Rongrong also walked over with Zhu Zhuqing supporting her. She didn't seem to have any serious injuries either; in any case, she was certainly better off than Flender.

Though injured, Flender couldn't help wondering what had caused him to overlook the final strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash.

All ten strikes had clearly been unleashed almost simultaneously.

How could this have happened?

Seeing Flender's expression, Ning Rongrong didn't hold back and explained, "Because my tenth strike wasn't aimed at you from the start."

"What?" Flender was astonished.

"That explains it." Tang San seemed to have realized something. "In other words, your tenth strike was aimed at yourself from the start. You just used some method to delay the tenth strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash and hide its sword Qi. Then, when Dean Flender approached you, although he made you take the eighth and ninth strikes in his place, he also took the tenth strike for you?"

As expected of Tang San, his comprehension and powers of observation were the sharpest of everyone present.

Flender's eyes widened, and he stared at Ning Rongrong suspiciously. "But if that's the case, what would have happened to the final strike if I had never fought you at close range?"

Ning Rongrong gave a bitter smile. "Then, when my Soul Power ran out, I would simply have reaped what I sowed."

"This..."

What a way to wound the enemy a thousand while suffering eight hundred wounds yourself.

Ning Rongrong didn't have as much practical combat experience as Flender, but she had plenty of devious ideas.

She had done this in case something unexpected happened. Even if she lost all ability to attack, she would still look for an opportunity to get close to Flender and transfer the tenth strike to him.

If she did that, she was certain to catch him off guard.

But if she made the slightest mistake, she would have to take the tenth strike herself.

The human heart was truly treacherous.

Flender clearly had more practical combat experience, yet it was as though he had learned another lesson from Ning Rongrong.

Indeed, when three people walked together, one was bound to be his teacher. Teachers were everywhere under heaven.

Of course, Ning Rongrong herself had only just learned that the final strike of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash could be delayed and its sword Qi hidden.

In fact, a Soul Master with a higher Soul Power Level could still detect that sword Qi by observing carefully. Flender simply hadn't considered the characteristics of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help sounding a little reproachful. "Isn't it just eating Oscar's sausage? At worst, you could treat it like eating poop and spit it out afterward... What you did was too risky."

Oscar: "..."

Seeing that the incense had burned out, Flender sighed helplessly and said, "I lost this time too, so I'll leave today's lesson for you to arrange."

A bet was a bet. Though Flender couldn't stand Ning Rongrong, he wasn't the sort to go back on his word, and he soon handed the lesson over to her.

Ning Rongrong didn't stand on ceremony. She repeated what she had said before the match, refusing Oscar's sausage and allowing Zhu Zhuqing not to eat it either.

That made Xiao Wu furious. "Tang San!!! You should fight the dean too! Can you really bear to let me eat another man's Big Sausage? I'd rather eat yours."

Tang San: "..."

Puffing with anger, Xiao Wu picked up Oscar's Big Sausage and was about to put it in her mouth when Ning Rongrong really couldn't watch any longer. "Forget it, forget it. None of you who don't want to eat it have to."

What kind of 18x scene was this?

Sure enough, to a wicked person, everything looked wicked.

Ning Rongrong wanted to cry but had no tears.

She swore she would start reading the Three Character Classic tomorrow to cultivate her character.

In the end, everyone except Dai Mubai refused Oscar's sausage.

In Dai Mubai's words, eating something replenished the corresponding part of the body, and he was very short of it right now.

Ning Rongrong didn't care about him. She had achieved her goal anyway, and seeing that there were no other plans for the day's lesson, she was about to leave with Zhu Zhuqing.

But just then.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission-challenging Flender's authority."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host. You have received your rewards: increased Soul Power and two thousand Identity Points."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host. Your Soul Power has increased by four levels."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host. Your Soul Power Level has reached thirty. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring awaiting absorption has been detected. Would you like to begin absorbing it now?"

The system's voice rang out again and again.

It was all very jumbled, but it left Ning Rongrong standing there in a daze.

Good, good, good.

So this was how the secret to increasing her Soul Power came about.
