Challenging the Hall

Zhu Zhuqing's last sentence had barely finished speaking.

Even Flender, who was in the middle of scolding them, felt his scalp go numb!

He truly feared that malevolent star!

If not for the fact that all his money had been completely plundered, and that his current lease still had a year left, he would have immediately packed his bags and fled!

"Challenging me?"

Dai Mubai laughed in anger. "Yesterday I was letting you have your way! Do you really think I can't defeat you? Zhu Zhuqing, don't forget your identity! You are my..."

Slap—

Before he could finish, Zhu Zhuqing had already blurred into an afterimage!

Everyone only saw a flash before their eyes. She had instantly appeared before Dai Mubai and, with a raised hand, delivered a crisp, loud slap!

Her speed was so fast that Dai Mubai didn't have time to react at all!

Having been greatly influenced by Ye Feiyang, Zhu Zhuqing had become increasingly adept at slapping people.

Dai Mubai, having been slapped publicly, was about to fly into a rage and utter threats, but Zhu Zhuqing, without any further words, revealed her Soul Rings, her fighting spirit burning fiercely!

"Good! Well slapped! Gaga!" Ning Rongrong clapped her hands excitedly from the side.

Although she didn't know the specifics of the feud between these two, there was definitely a story there, and she found the blonde guy annoying!

Her gaze swept over the other members of Shrek.

One blue-haired, one red-haired, one white-haired, one blonde, and then their Master.

This academy was truly comical, with hair colors all over the place, like a palette.

Thinking this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but let out a giggle.

"Hahaha~~ What a bizarre combination of hair colors you guys have! You're killing me!"

Ma Hongjun saw Ning Rongrong laughing so hard her chest heaved. The sight of her undulating bosom made his heart burn with heat, and he swallowed hard.

This girl was really something, looked easy to handle...

He subconsciously ran a hand through his mohawk-style red hair, struck a pose he thought was very cool, and said loudly:

"Hey, little girl over there, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Ning Rongrong heard him and looked over, immediately meeting a pair of lecherous eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Such ill-intentioned and naked gazes only made her secretly pleased when she saw them in her Master's eyes.

When they came from anyone else, they were purely vulgar and lewd!

She narrowed her eyes slightly and glared back unceremoniously, "You dead fatty! If you dare to stare at me with those toad eyes of yours again, believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyeballs out and stomp on them!"

She was completely fearless, as her Master had given her permission to bully them to her heart's content, and he would handle any trouble.

Ma Hongjun, upon hearing this, became even more invigorated.

Heh, a rose with thorns was more desirable to conquer!

Not only did he not restrain himself, but his gaze roamed over Ning Rongrong's body even more unscrupulously.

"Hmph, you want to dig my eyeballs out?"

He grinned, with a hint of roguishness, "Alright! If you can beat me, feel free to dig them out! But if you can't... hehe, then you'll obediently be my girlfriend, and I'll get to... do naughty things to you every day..."

The lewd implication in his words was self-evident.

The smile on Ning Rongrong's face vanished instantly, replaced by an icy coldness. "If you have the guts, say what you just said again, and, again, and, again."

Oscar, who had been secretly observing Ning Rongrong from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up to dissuade him. "Fatty! Say less! Don't cause trouble!"

Ma Hongjun was about to retort when he caught Flender's warning glance. He immediately swallowed his words and fell silent for the moment.

Flender felt a splitting headache coming on.

Ma Hongjun hadn't been at the academy yesterday and hadn't witnessed the terror of that person. He was truly a fearless newborn calf!

If he didn't stop him now, this dead fatty was likely to be beaten to a pulp today!

On the other side, Tang San wanted to step forward and test the opponent's strength, but Xiao Wu held his arm tightly.

"Brother San! Don't meddle!"

Xiao Wu lowered her voice. "There's clearly something going on between them!"

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu suspiciously, asking with his eyes, but found that Xiao Wu's attention wasn't on him at all. She was excitedly watching the conflict across from them.

Only Flender was the most troubled. Looking at this situation, he feared there would be no peace from now on.

This was clearly a deliberate attempt to pick a fight!

Oh well, he'd just have to wake up earlier from now on and take these little monsters out for training runs, staying away from the other side.

Xiao Wu, however, liked Ning Rongrong's personality. She looked like she had no combat power, yet she dared to challenge them so arrogantly. That was so cool!

She vaguely felt that this girl was somewhat like-minded with her, neither of them being the quiet type.

"Bitch! You dare to hurt me!"

Just then, Dai Mubai's roar echoed. He had been repelled by Zhu Zhuqing once again, looking utterly disheveled.

The crowd turned their heads at the sound, seeing Dai Mubai's clothes torn to shreds by sharp claws, with several bloody gashes on his face. He was nowhere near the majestic presence of the Evil Eyed White Tiger he usually was.

Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of holding back, wanting to inflict as much pain as possible.

The thought of this man being so heartless, abandoning his responsibilities as her fiancé and leaving her to endure all the hardship and scorn within the family, while he lived it up outside…

And then comparing him to her own Master…

Ugh! I can't compare! The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I'll beat him even harder!

If I don't beat him until he shits himself today, then he's got a clean digestive system!

Ning Rongrong chuckled beside them, finding her senior sister's violent outburst to be quite charming.

Only after beating Dai Mubai into a true pig's head did Zhu Zhuqing finally stop, still unsatisfied.

Her blows were precisely measured, hitting just right—confusing but not concussive, focusing on physical pain and humiliation.

Immediately after finishing with Dai Mubai, her cold gaze locked onto Ma Hongjun, who was hiding to the side.

"Just now, was it you who spoke disrespectfully and upset my junior sister?"

Her voice was calm, yet carried a chilling undertone. "Now, I challenge you."

Ma Hongjun's scalp went numb. How could he possibly accept?

Didn't he see how their leader, a Level 37 Battle Spirit Grandmaster, was beaten into a pig's head?

"I, I won't fight you!"

He quickly retreated, his eyes instinctively darting towards Tang San and Xiao Wu. "If you want to fight, go find them!"

This clumsy attempt to shift the blame made even Xiao Wu laugh out loud.

Even though it was their first day as classmates, this was the first time she had seen someone sell out their teammate on day one.

Ma Hongjun was immediately branded with the double label of coward and traitor in her mind.

His actions even made Flender frown. It was too disgraceful for the academy.

Tang San's eyes flickered with a hint of fighting spirit, genuinely considering the fight, but Xiao Wu vehemently stopped him.

"You can't refuse."

Zhu Zhuqing had unleashed her true nature, treating her Master's words as gospel.

Ever since she received the cultivation technique inheritance, her combat power had soared. The technique came with armor-piercing and penetration effects, making her immune to defensive Soul Skills. Her movement was agile and unpredictable, and she possessed deadly finishing moves.

Whoever faced her was simply unlucky!

As she spoke, before Ma Hongjun could react further, her figure flickered and she instantly closed the distance like a ghost!

Slap—

Searching for the book title didn't work, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the name has changed!

Zhu Zhuqing's attack was fierce and her words concise. A crisp slap served as the opening, its sound echoing across the training grounds once more.

"This slap is to teach you to mind your own gaze! If you dare to look around again, it won't be this simple next time!"

Ma Hongjun's intestines were turning green with regret.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he wouldn't have spoken carelessly or looked around! If he had known watching the commotion would bring trouble upon himself, he would never have courted disaster.

Compared to Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun was even less of a match.

He couldn't last more than a few moves before he was wailing and begging for mercy.

"Enough!"

Flender finally couldn't stand it and shouted.

"They are not your opponents. Do you have to beat them until they are severely injured?"

Zhu Zhuqing paused her actions upon hearing this.

This fatso was indeed not durable, making it quite boring and ineffective as sparring practice.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky you're weak and can't put up a fight!" she said coldly.

For the first time, Ma Hongjun felt fortunate to be so weak.

But a trace of undetectable malice flashed in his lowered eyes.

He remembered this grudge!

He was even planning in his mind to find an opportunity later, perhaps with Dai Mubai, to thoroughly humiliate these two bitches...

However, not now.

Zhu Zhuqing still seemed somewhat unsatisfied, her gaze turning to the silent Tang San. "Do you want to spar as well?"

Xiao Wu immediately jumped in, shaking her head like a rattle drum. "No more fighting, no more fighting! We're done for today!"

She desperately tried to stop Tang San, fearing that if Tang San really fought, it would damage their harmony.

She was even more afraid that if Tang San was pushed too far and used those special methods, injuring the opponent, that terrifying man would absolutely not let it go!

After all, his own secrets were still in their hands!

"Xiao Wu, why are you stopping me?" Tang San asked in a low voice, confused.

"Third Brother, I've already fought two matches in a row. Even if you win now, it wouldn't be a fair victory..."

Xiao Wu quickly found excuses, trying to delay for as long as possible.

Zhu Zhuqing knew Xiao Wu was a key focus for Master, so seeing her try so hard to stop him, she didn't push the matter further, giving her some face.

She didn't look at Tang San again. In her eyes, only Master could hold her gaze now.

To Tang San, however, it looked like contempt.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was blank as she swept a cold glance over the Shrek group, finding it rather boring.

Not a single worthy opponent, yet they called themselves a monster academy. How dull.

She was about to call Ning Rongrong to leave.

But Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled brightly at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, want to go out and hang out with us?"

Xiao Wu looked up in surprise at the invitation, pointing to herself. "Are you asking me to go shopping with you?"

Honestly, she was tempted.

Stuck in this academy full of rough guys, being the only girl was incredibly boring.

Besides Tang San, she didn't have anyone to confide in.

And she could feel that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong didn't mean her any harm.

"Of course, you! Is there another Xiao Wu here?"

Ning Rongrong smiled like a sly little fox. "How about it? We're planning to go to the city to buy some new clothes! If you come with us, I'll cover all your expenses today!"

She patted her chest, acting like a rich young lady.

Xiao Wu's heart fluttered even more. She glanced hesitantly at the displeased Tang San, then secretly peeked at Flender beside him.

Flender immediately turned his head away, pretending to study the clouds.

It wasn't that he didn't want to maintain his dignity as the dean, but dignity paled in comparison to being slapped in public. He chose strategic ignorance.

The disciple of that person was someone he couldn't afford to offend, nor did he want to.

"Xiao Wu, don't listen to them!"

Tang San frowned and stopped her. "Besides, we're in class right now."

"Third Brother..."

Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve, her voice pleading, "I want to go. I haven't bought new clothes in such a long time. Look, my clothes are all pilled..."

This made Tang San speechless for a moment.

Over the years, Xiao Wu had relied on him for food and necessities.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of buying her clothes, but he was short on cash himself!

Besides spending all his time cultivating, figuring out hidden weapons also incurred considerable expenses.

He seemed to have truly overlooked that Xiao Wu was also a girl, and it was human nature for girls to care about their appearance.

Looking at the other girls, dressed so brightly, while Xiao Wu wore clothes until they were pilled without replacing them, a wave of guilt washed over him.

The meager Soul Master subsidy Xiao Wu received was barely enough for necessities and snacks.

Although she had always considered Tang San her closest family, Tang San was not a wealthy person.

While they weren't living in poverty over the years, their lives were far from comfortable.

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, I was negligent."

Tang San's tone softened. "How about this, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely take you shopping..."

Xiao Wu gently interrupted him. "Third Brother, we're all grown up. Besides, I need to buy some personal items, and it wouldn't be convenient for you to come along. Do you understand?"

Unknowingly, Xiao Wu's feelings for Tang San were quietly changing, and she began to be mindful of the boundaries between men and women.

Tang San of course understood Xiao Wu's implied meaning.

These were private matters for girls, and it would indeed seem tactless and boundary-crossing for him, a man, to insist on coming along.

Thinking of this, Tang San realized Xiao Wu was determined to go with them.

He couldn't help but feel a little angry, thinking Xiao Wu was becoming more disobedient.

He flicked his sleeve and pretended to be angry. "I don't care about you anymore, go wherever you want! You insisted on coming to this academy yourself, I didn't force you!"

He thought these petulant words would make Xiao Wu soften and turn back.

However, Xiao Wu seemed not to hear him. A look of liberation spread across her face, and she happily went forward, taking Ning Rongrong's hand with one and Zhu Zhuqing's with the other, and ran out of the academy with a giggle.

Tang San stood stunned, watching Xiao Wu's retreating back without a hint of hesitation, feeling an emptiness in his heart.

It was as if something extremely important was quietly disappearing, and he couldn't grasp it.

Only after the three figures had completely vanished did Flender clear his throat and resume his dean's dignified demeanor.

"What are you still looking at?! Help these two on the ground get treated! Then, everyone, go run laps for me! No dinner until you finish twenty laps!"

He had already said all the scolding he needed to say. Now, he just felt disgraced and secretly decided to let other teachers handle his classes from now on.

Hmm, it's best if I just quietly remain the nominal dean.

Since that troublemaker had moved across the street, and considering his living expenses, perhaps it was time to return to Suotuo City and reopen his shop.

In Suotuo City

Three beauties, each with a distinct style yet equally eye-catching, walked down the street, chattering non-stop, forming a beautiful sight.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed the name!
