The Silver Dragon King: Human Soul Masters Are Truly Lame

"Where did I say I was casual?" Su Cheng frowned, clearly somewhat unconvinced.

"Are those people all considered friends?"

"Hmm?" He paused for a moment, then looked at the students from the Shrek Academy. "I guess so."

"Don't worry, I wasn't talking about you. If they can all be considered friends, then it's indeed quite casual."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Cheng noticed that the atmosphere among the teenagers at the table didn't seem to be very good.

Just as Su Yue said, the arrangement of the seven Shrek students at the dinner table was quite interesting.

Despite being fellow Soul Master from the same academy, they appeared to be distinctly separate from each other.

Dai Mubai sat in the middle ordering food, occasionally whispering and laughing with the male classmates on either side. To his left were Ma Hongjun and Oscar, and to his right were Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Zhu Zhuqing sat some distance away from the others, showing no intention of joining their conversation, and listlessly looked towards the town outside the door.

Sitting next to her Ning Rongrong, who had run away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Compared to the others, Ning Rongrong's likes and dislikes were more obvious.

Especially when her gaze inadvertently drifted towards Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, her eyes always revealed obvious disgust and contempt.

She then turned to the girl beside her and asked in a low, intimate voice, "Zhu Zhuqing, how exactly did you cultivate? You've reached the Soul Elder level at such a young age, which is much better than that lecherous tiger."

"You can't blame him for that; his talent is just too poor."

Zhu Zhuqing responded casually, not taking Dai Mubai seriously at all.

Ning Rongrong was speechless upon hearing this.

Although we don't know Dai Mubai's Innate Soul Power level, his White Tiger Martial Soul is incredibly powerful, clearly a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. Moreover, reaching the Soul Elder realm at the age of thirteen is already considered astonishing talent.

Perhaps only Zhu Zhuqing, who has cultivated to the Soul Elder at the age of eleven, is qualified to say such a thing.

Even the others, including Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar, those geniuses who were said to have Innate Full Soul Power, could not look down on that lecherous tiger from such a high position.

Thinking this, a hint of curiosity and inquiry appeared in her eyes, and the scene that had happened not long ago resurfaced in her mind.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, Ning Rongrong was spoiled from a young age and only came to the Shrek Academy, which was located in a remote area, out of a playful mindset.

Unexpectedly, the dean and teachers here showed her no respect at all, giving her a hard time right at the start of the semester, and even declaring that they didn't care about students like her.

Feeling resentful, Ning Rongrong noticed that Dai Mubai seemed to have some ulterior motives towards Zhu Zhuqing, so she took the opportunity to verbally mock him.

That day, Dai Mubai returned to the academy in a bad mood and asked her in a cold tone whether she was going to stay or leave.

Ning Rongrong replied, "Of course I'm staying! How can I just leave such a fun place? By the way, what's with that expression? Did you get rejected by Zhu Zhuqing? Haha, Oscar said you were some kind of Casanova, but it turns out you're nothing special?"

These words immediately enraged Dai Mubai. He sneered, "Ning Rongrong, don't test my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I, Dai Mubai, am not. If you anger me, be careful I'll rape and kill you, then rape and kill you again!"

Given Ning Rongrong's personality, how could she possibly tolerate such an insult? She immediately puffed out her chest and retorted sarcastically, "I'm so scared! Come on, let me see how you're going to rape me."

Dai Mubai finally lost control of his anger.

A powerful burst of Soul Power erupted instantly. Ning Rongrong, whose cultivation was not high and who was a support-type Soul Master, was almost instantly blasted away by the force of the attack.

Ning Rongrong had never suffered such a loss in her life, and she almost burst into tears on the spot, staring intently at Dai Mubai.

"Remember this, this is not your home. Don't mess with me again, or I won't care who you are."

After making a cold, threatening remark, he turned and left.

"Stop!"

The next moment, another extremely powerful surge of Soul Power appeared.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared in front of Ning Rongrong at some point, coldly staring at Dai Mubai, "Apologize to her."

"What did you say?!" Dai Mubai laughed angrily.

When did he, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, fall so low as to be threatened by a little girl and have to apologize to another little girl?

"I told you to apologize to Ning Rongrong for what you just said."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyebrows and repeated each word carefully.

"Joke!"

Dai Mubai scoffed coldly.

He was quite annoyed that the other party had been ignoring his attempts to reach out and show goodwill.

In Dai Mubai's view, Zhu Zhuqing, like himself, was forced to flee Star Luo Empire due to family rules.

If that's the case, then why put on airs in front of me?

As for things like PCs, those are just minor hobbies for normal men, nothing to worry about.

What's more, this girl has now joined Shrek Academy, undoubtedly to seek refuge with me, yet she still puts on airs and acts pretentious, which is unpleasant to others.

Dai Mubai was not clear about Zhu Zhuqing's specific situation. She enrolled two days late, and he was not present at the time. He only knew that her cultivation level was good.

But so what? How could the Hell Spirit Cat be a match for the White Tiger Martial Soul?

Let alone Zhu Zhuqing being young, it doesn't matter if he has the same cultivation level as him, there are still differences between those at the same level!

Thinking it over, he immediately decided to stop holding back and teach the other party a lesson.

However, what happened next was completely different from what Dai Mubai had expected.

Even Ning Rongrong, who was initially worried, was momentarily stunned.

It didn't even take a minute.

Zhu Zhuqing easily defeated the powerful lecherous tiger.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of Tang San, Oscar, and others, Dai Mubai would probably have suffered even greater hardships and might have been seriously injured.

But this is actually the natural outcome.

With her Innate Full Soul Power Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul and her cultivation level of Three-Ringed Soul Grandmaster, Zhu Zhuqing, though only eleven years old, was simply not someone Dai Mubai could contend with.

Even though he was a few years older and his cultivation was slightly higher.

However, the two are not on the same level at all, regardless of their talent, Martial Soul, or the diligence they put into training.

In addition, the Hell White Tiger's strong restraining effect on the White Tiger Martial Soul meant that Dai Mubai's extra few levels of Soul Power were clearly insufficient to make up for the gap in absolute strength.

However, while Ning Rongrong's affection for Zhu Zhuqing was partly due to her gratitude and admiration for his actions that day, she also had other ulterior motives.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she is the most talented successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul among the younger generation of the sect.

Although she doesn't usually worry about sect affairs, she still has her own ideas.

When she learned that the incredibly talented Zhu Zhuqing had actually come from the Star Luo Empire seeking refuge and had no sect power behind her, she began to have some thoughts.

On the other side, Dai Mubai chatted casually with Ma Hongjun Tang San, and others as if he had forgotten about the conflict that had occurred earlier.

Only when his gaze occasionally fell upon Zhu Zhuqing would a hint of deep-seated apprehension be revealed in his eyes.

This youngest daughter of the Zhu Family was completely different from the information I knew.

Back when Zhu Zhuqing awakened her Martial Soul and the two families reunited for marriage, the Zhu Family claimed that a descendant of the Hell Spirit Cat, who had awakened a level seven Innate Soul Power, had appeared in their family. She was the most talented daughter besides Zhu Zhuyun and could be chosen as their marriage partner to compete with Dai Weisi for the future emperor and empress positions.

This makes perfect sense.

The Netherworld Zhu Family's Martial Soul level is between top-tier and high-tier, a notch below the White Tiger Martial Soul, and their level seven Innate Soul Power is already quite good.

But it wasn't until the day they fought that he realized that what his opponent had awakened was not the Hell Spirit Cat at all, but the Hell White Tiger that could only appear when the successors of the Dai and Zhu families used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Moreover, the cultivation level of Three-Ringed Soul Grandmaster is absolutely impossible for a Soul Master with only a seventh-level Innate Soul Power to reach at this age!

How could he know that the Zhu Family chose Zhu Zhuqing as Dai Mubai's fiancée with the intention of using her status as a competitor in the royal family to legitimately allow her to leave Star Luo Imperial Capital under the guise of escaping?

This makes even more sense, especially since Dai Mubai left first.

Otherwise, the Zhu Family would probably have to think of other ways.

Shock, worry, confusion, resentment... all sorts of emotions piled up deep in my heart.

But he dared not make a fuss, much less inform his family—if he had that kind of courage, he wouldn't have fled the Star Luo Imperial Family and gone to a distant land in the first place.

To this day, Dai Mubai still clearly remembers what Zhu Zhuqing said to him in secret after she stood up for Ning Rongrong that day.

"Dai Mubai, you'd better not have any other ideas. If you don't bother me, I won't mind saving your life. The achievements my Martial Soul can attain in the future are beyond your imagination and reach."

"Isn't what you're after just survival and pleasure? I can grant your wish."

"But if you dare to act on your own, you should think about the consequences. Whether Dai Weisi will let you off the hook, and whether your message can break through the Zhu Family's blockade, are all unknowns."

"The strength of the Netherworld Zhu Family is indeed inferior to that of the royal family, but as a discarded pawn, how much power can you mobilize? Behind me stands the entire Zhu Family, and even Dai Weisi's nominal fiancée, my eldest sister, is on my side."

"You should carefully consider which is more important and which is less important, so you don't make a decision you'll regret."

Zhu Zhuqing was not worried at all that Dai Mubai might do anything impulsive.

This guy's talent was clearly superior to Dai Weisi's, but he chose to run away and give up at the first opportunity. He was obviously a weak and incompetent good-for-nothing.

Besides, even if the other party really breaks through their limits and wants to make some big news, the Zhu Family is not to be trifled with.

She wasn't lying about what she just said.

The Zhu Family might not be able to contend with the Dai Family, but they would be more than capable of dealing with the lone Dai Mubai.

As for staying at the Shrek Academy, it had nothing to do with Dai Mubai. Zhu Zhuqing actually had her eye on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, were to protect her during her growth, she would no longer need to fear the Star Luo Imperial Family's purge once she had safely achieved the Titled Douluo.

Just as the group was lost in their own thoughts, waiting for the hotel to serve their food, a group of people suddenly walked in from outside.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He had a clean and handsome appearance and wore an exquisite moon-white Soul Master robe with patterns embroidered with silver threads that shimmered in the light.

Behind him followed seven young people, six men and one woman, all around twenty years old, wearing the same moon-white Soul Master robes, but without embroidery.

But whether it was the middle-aged man or the seven youths behind him, they all had a blue circular mark on their left shoulder with the words "Cang Hui" written on it.

Compared to the ordinary-looking students of the Shrek Academy, these Soul Master seemed much more flamboyant.

As soon as the hotel owner saw them, he hurried over to greet them, bowing and scraping politely.

For ordinary people, the profession of Soul Master is high and mighty, almost on par with the nobility, and they dare not be careless in the slightest.

"That girl is really pretty, Boss Dai. These guys must be from the Canghui Academy, right?"

Ma Hongjun turned to look at the newcomer, his small eyes fixed on the only female Soul Master in the group of eight.

The girl was indeed beautiful, around twenty years old, and her figure was fully developed. She possessed an extraordinary attraction for a young man like Ma Hongjun.

At that moment, his eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at the person.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai curled his lip and casually said, "It's just a small Canghui Academy, what's there to brag about?"

Neither Ma Hongjun nor Dai Mubai lowered their voices when they spoke.

Soul Master possess extraordinary hearing and perception. Despite the noise in the restaurant, the middle-aged man leading the group still frowned slightly and cast his gaze over.

When he saw that the table at the Shrek Academy was just a group of children, his expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.

Oscar chuckled at Tang San, "This is going to be good."

Tang San asked in confusion, "What kind of show?"

"This is also part of our training. Dean Flender once said that Soul Master who is afraid to cause trouble is not a good Soul Master. As the saying goes, a person who is afraid to cause trouble is mediocre. Moreover, it is safest to provoke people from the Soul Master Academy; at most, it will just result in a fight."

Tang San couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, "If you put all the quotes from our Dean together, you could make a 'monster quote collection.' Judging from their ages, Canghui Academy must be an Advanced Spirit Master Academy, right?"

"Heh..." Not far away, Su Yue, who had taken in all of this, couldn't help but let out a light sneer.

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre... I never expected that you human Soul Master would have such a saying. Is this what you call the chosen one of humanity's destiny?"

"I'm not Soul Master, so there's no point in you telling me this," Su Cheng said calmly. "As for the issue of the Chosen One, I'll explain it to you later. Let's wait and see."

Yesterday's discussion about the name overwhelmingly favored Su Yue, so I won't change it. I've actually been considering the Silver Dragon King issue for quite a while, starting from the beginning of this volume.

The reason she doesn't use her original name isn't to be unconventional. Mainly, her name, Gu Yuena, is an alias she used after entering the human world. The origin of that name is also related to her alter ego, Na'er, which I feel is inappropriate.

As for her true identity, she is actually the Silver Dragon King; that is her real name.
