Who Dares to Provoke This Esteemed Ancestress?

Flender was already in a bit of a predicament.

The situation had completely reversed. If he continued to belittle Ning Rongrong now, wouldn't he just be looking for trouble?

So, after thinking it over, Flender chose a more tactful way to put it.

"Well, um... does having less soul power than them count?"

Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded when she heard that.

What did that mean?

"Never mind whether my soul power is lower than theirs—that's another matter entirely."

"But even if my soul power is lower than theirs, how does that bring shame upon my sect?"

At this point, Ning Rongrong still thought Flender was deliberately humiliating her.

Flender was an old hand at this. He immediately shifted the topic elsewhere.

"Though saying this may be a little offensive, what I said earlier about bringing shame upon your sect was false. But you really are wasting your talent!"

"Ma Hongjun is about the same age as Yun Feng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu. He entered Shrek Academy at eleven. Although his spirit has its flaws—"

"—the mutated spirit he possesses is an exceptionally gifted top-tier Beast Spirit."

"In terms of spirit alone, there are few people on the entire Douluo Continent who can compare to him."

"His soul power is no weaker than yours either, and that is while he has devoted part of his effort to compensating for his spirit's flaws."

"As for Zhu Zhuqing, although her Innate Soul Power was lower than yours, she has the determination to become stronger. Her soul power has already surpassed yours."

"As for Yun Feng, I don't need to say much about him. You should have already witnessed Dai Mubai's strength as well."

"And Oscar is the only Food-Type Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent with Innate Full Soul Power!"

After hearing all that, Ning Rongrong instantly fell into a daze.

Compared like this, she really did seem to have wasted her talent!

Ever since she was little, she had grown up surrounded by everyone's care. On top of that, she was a genius herself and had been spoiled beyond measure. She had always believed that she was the most outstanding and the most talented.

Even if she was not strong enough yet, that was only because of her age.

She had never expected that the people before her were actually all stronger than she was.

Just as Ning Rongrong was feeling utterly lost, Xiao Wu stepped forward.

"Rongrong, you don't need to be so discouraged. After all, the gap between you and us isn't that great. The person you're really far behind is Yun Feng."

"Besides, you're not at the bottom here. You should know that Tang San's soul power is even lower than yours!"

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong indeed felt much better.

Most people were like this. As long as they discovered someone worse off than themselves, they would instinctively compare themselves downward.

Still, Flender's words had pierced her heart like sharp swords, completely shattering the thing she had been proudest of.

After forcing out a smile, she did not bring up what had just happened again.

She merely thanked Yun Feng and the others beside her before leaving directly.

She knew that Yun Feng had stepped forward to help her earlier, and Xiao Wu had comforted her as well.

She was arrogant, but that did not mean she lacked basic manners.

After Ning Rongrong left, Dai Mubai was feeling rather troubled.

"Dean, should I still go pack up her luggage?"

The moment he said that, not only Flender, but everyone else turned their eyes toward Dai Mubai.

They looked at Dai Mubai as if he were some kind of monster.

Flender said without the slightest courtesy, "Are you looking to die? She's in a bad mood right now. Even I wouldn't dare provoke this Esteemed Ancestress!"

Dai Mubai came from the royal family, so of course he knew just how terrifying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's status was on the continent.

There were only around ten Titled Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent, yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone possessed two of them.

(PS: The number of Titled Douluo here refers to the number as Dai Mubai understood it!) With such strength, even the royal families of the two great empires had to be courteous when they met the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Sect Master.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's most beloved little princess. Flender's earlier suicidal behavior had utterly shocked him.

Although he had apologized afterward, it did not diminish Flender's sheer awesomeness in Dai Mubai's eyes! Seeing that the matter had calmed down, Flender also swept a glance at Yun Feng from the corner of his eye.

In the end, he still sighed and said directly, "Alright, I won't say any more. Tonight's training begins now. Let's go!"

"Move out. Follow me."

With that, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and darted out lightly, heading beyond the academy.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

Flender maintained a rather fast pace throughout, and the gap in strength among the six students became apparent at this moment.

Close behind Flender was Yun Feng, whose Soul Power was the deepest. Behind Yun Feng came Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Wu was fourth, while Ma Hongjun and Tang San brought up the rear! In truth, this level of training was naturally of no use to Yun Feng.

Bored from running, Yun Feng directly used his Third Soul Skill and swiftly caught up to Flender.

After asking about their destination, he flapped the wings on his back and accelerated, arriving at Suotuo City in no time! Suotuo City's gates remained open around the clock. Although night had already fallen, the city seemed as though it had just awakened, even livelier than during the day.

The shops lining both sides of the streets were brightly lit, while small vendors who only came out at night had found their usual spots to sell snacks, trinkets, and other such goods.

After casually buying some food on the street, Yun Feng began waiting for the people from Shrek Academy.

About half an hour later, Yun Feng finally saw the six of them hurrying over.

After arriving in the city, Xiao Wu eagerly looked around in every direction. Whenever she spotted something interesting, she would quietly move closer for a few extra looks.

Zhu Zhuqing still wore an icy expression, as though everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

Her gaze remained fixed on Yun Feng in front of her, utterly unaffected by the surroundings.

Dai Mubai, meanwhile, stared at Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes filled with suppressed fury.

Ma Hongjun's eyes, on the other hand, were practically not enough for him. Though he was not interested in everything like Xiao Wu was, his eyes darted about restlessly, targeting the most distinctive parts of the women on the street.

From six-year-olds to sixty-year-olds, Ma Hongjun's eyes spared almost no one. Whenever he saw someone with a fuller figure, he immediately gulped hard.

Fortunately, he was at the very back of the group, so no one else noticed what he looked like at the moment.

Even so, everyone could still hear the sound of him swallowing behind them.

It was utterly ridiculous!

Flender then walked over to Yun Feng's side. After hesitating for a moment, he asked directly, "What do you think of Shrek Academy?"
