It was not until Tang San and Oscar returned that Dai Mubai explained Oscar's sausages to everyone. Oscar also told the truth: because Luo Chen had called him "uncle," he had wanted revenge and given him the most disgusting sausage.
"Damn it, you're seriously disgusting! I only called you uncle once. Fine, you tricked me, but you actually tricked my brother too? I'm taking revenge for my brother. Hurry up and make another one, then eat it yourself..."
Putting on a righteous expression, Luo Chen grabbed Oscar by the collar.
"Forget it." Dai Mubai pulled Luo Chen back, but then noticed that Tang San's expression had turned strange again and suddenly panicked.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly stepped aside and covered their noses. It could not be helped—Tang San's fart was simply too foul. No one could withstand that kind of power.
"Oscar, you caused this, so fix it now..." Dai Mubai roared at Oscar again.
Oscar hurriedly shouted, "I Have a Big Sausage..."
Then Oscar made a sausage about the same size as the previous one and handed it to Tang San. "Hurry, eat it. This will counteract that poisonous sausage from before. If you don't eat it now, it'll be too late, and you'll keep farting."
Hearing Oscar's disgusting incantation and seeing a sausage exactly the same size as the last one, Tang San could not help covering his mouth as he nearly vomited.
But feeling the reaction in his stomach, Tang San still hurriedly took the big sausage and wolfed it down in front of everyone.
Damn...
Luo Chen could clearly feel that everyone present—including Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and the boys and girls who had later lined up for the second-round examination—was looking at Tang San with utter contempt.
San Ge, San Ge, you've really embarrassed yourself completely.
Luo Chen could not help chuckling behind his hand. Then he suddenly noticed Ning Rongrong among the boys and girls preparing to take the second-round examination.
Ning Rongrong really did look much like she did in the anime. She had bright, lively eyes, snow-white cheeks, a cute and proud face, and a pale blue long dress that revealed her slender, fair calves.
Compared with Xiao Wu's charming cuteness, Ning Rongrong's cuteness was more like that of an elf. She possessed the aura of an innocent little fairy, looking obedient and lively. Her figure was also smaller and more delicate than Xiao Wu's.
But at this moment, Ning Rongrong was also glaring shamefully and angrily in Tang San's direction. She deeply disliked the person who had set off that bomb as well.
Only after Tang San finished the other sausage was he finally all right, though his expression was still somewhat ugly.
Only then did Luo Chen walk over and look at Tang San. "Sorry, Tang San. I had no idea that Oscar was so bad. Just because I called him old, he actually wanted to trick me."
Tang San swallowed and said calmly, "It's fine. It's not your fault. It's my fault for not carefully distinguishing the sausage before I ate it. The people in this academy are all somewhat abnormal. I should have been more cautious."
Wanting to ease the awkwardness and get them away from there as soon as possible, Dai Mubai immediately went over and said a few words to the teacher in charge of the second-round examination.
That teacher then had Dai Mubai take Luo Chen, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing directly to the fourth-round examination.
Just like in the original story, a few students objected and asked about it. Only then did they learn that those with Soul Power above level twenty-five could skip directly to the fourth round.
Then the noble girl Ning Rongrong also revealed that her Soul Power was above level twenty-five, so she followed Luo Chen and the others to take the fourth-round examination.
By then, Tang San seemed to feel fine again. This guy really was thick-skinned. He deliberately walked over to Xiao Wu's side again and even began chatting with Dai Mubai.
Xiao Wu clearly moved farther aside on purpose. Dai Mubai, however, was not awkward at all and chatted with Tang San, after all, Dai Mubai was also a Golden Retriever.
Luo Chen walked at the back, beside the cold Zhu Zhuqing, with the proud and adorable Ning Rongrong behind him.
Luo Chen could not help glancing sideways. She's developed quite well. Her figure is great too. Not bad, this feeling.
But Zhu Zhuqing seemed to notice Luo Chen's gaze. She gave him a cold glance and quickened her pace.
Luo Chen looked again at her cat-like butt and tail, thinking, This girl really has some personality. She wasn't even won over by my handsome looks. No rush. Sooner or later, I'll make you into an obedient Little Wildcat, then kill that Golden Retriever.
With that thought, Luo Chen turned back and looked at the proud and adorable Ning Rongrong again. Their gazes happened to meet, and Ning Rongrong immediately looked away.
Ning Rongrong truly was a noble girl. Even the way she walked was different, though she was a little small.
But under Luo Chen's gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly. Looking proud and adorable, she suddenly rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before? My name is Ning Rongrong."
"Mm, my name is Luo Chen." Luo Chen nodded and simply greeted Ning Rongrong.
Luo Chen knew that although Ning Rongrong looked obedient and elf-like, her personality was not obedient at all. Ning Rongrong was not someone he could win over with looks alone. He would need the plans that came later to make her... unable to resist, and obediently listen to him.
After Dai Mubai introduced the academy to them, they arrived at the open ground for the fourth test, in front of Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji was much as described in the original story: a rugged, burly man, not very tall, with muscles all over his body.
Zhao Wuji quickly laid out the test requirements. Luo Chen, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had to join forces and withstand one stick of incense's worth of time against him to pass.
Just like in the original story, Dai Mubai was somewhat surprised, but he could not change Zhao Wuji's mind. So, he introduced Zhao Wuji's strength and background to the five of them.
Tang San nodded, and the five immediately introduced themselves. Xiao Wu was now level twenty-nine as well, Luo Chen deliberately remained at level twenty-eight, Ning Rongrong was level twenty-six, and Zhu Zhuqing was level twenty-seven.
After Ning Rongrong introduced her abilities and background, Tang San began showing off. In Tang San's view, he was still the strongest among the five. Not only was he level twenty-nine, but his soul rings were also the most optimal combination. He also had Twin Martial Souls, hidden weapons, the Xuan Yu Hand, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Tang San began formulating a battle plan. "Ning Rongrong will support the four of us. I'll be in charge of control, Xiao Wu will handle frontal attacks, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Chen will attack from the sides. Zhu Zhuqing, your speed should be very fast, right? Xiao Chen is also very skilled in speed. His martial soul has both fire-attribute and lightning Soul Skills, so he can coordinate with you."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both nodded slightly. Xiao Wu looked at Luo Chen and nodded softly as well.
"Mm, don't worry, Tang San. I believe in your battlefield control." Luo Chen also nodded in praise, but inwardly he thought, This guy really is thick-skinned. He gassed us like that just now, and now he's showing off and taking command again.
Isn't it just fighting a bear? Why are you dragging it out like this?
Luo Chen casually glanced behind him and thought, If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Hao should be watching this battle. In that case, even if I pull something on Tang San, I absolutely can't reveal any flaws.
According to the original story, Tang San used almost all of his trump cards in this battle, releasing all sorts of hidden weapons and poisons into Zhao Wuji's mouth and face. Every move was lethal. This bastard was quite ruthless—he really was no good person.
Zhao Wuji had been afraid of actually killing Tang San, so he had held back and let Tang San make a mess of him. Yet in the end, he was beaten up by Tang San's dad too. What bad luck.
Luo Chen thought about it. But I can't beat Tang San's dad either. Looks like I'll just have to adapt to the situation later.
