No Weapons Allowed

But even though Su Mo knew Ning Rongrong was about to be targeted, he had no intention of stepping in to stop it.

Although the spoiled and overbearing Ning Rongrong had her own distinctive charm, with a clear-cut personality that was pleasing to watch.

To be honest, though, that was only interesting from a viewer's perspective. If you really had to get along with a young lady with that kind of personality, no one could stand it.

So Su Mo would not stop Flender from tempering Ning Rongrong's character. However, Su Mo felt he needed to step in at the right time, to keep Ning Rongrong from being struck too hard.

In the original story, Ning Rongrong had been hit far too hard, too excessively, causing the pride in her heart to be shattered to pieces, and the Little Witch's personality to be crushed too thoroughly.

So much so that later on, little by little, the brilliant Little Witch side of Ning Rongrong could no longer be seen.

By the time they gathered in the evening, Ning Rongrong's failure to finish the twenty laps because she had slacked off was directly pointed out by Flender.

In the end, ignoring Ning Rongrong's ugly expression, Flender spoke forcefully. "Now, I'll give you two choices. One, pack your things and leave this place immediately. You are not worthy of being one of us. The other, prove to me that you have the qualifications to stay here, as well as the resolve to never break the rules again."

"Flender, who do you think you are? You're nothing but a mere Soul Saint."

"You want to drive me away? It won't be that easy. Since I came here, I never planned to leave so soon. Flender, I advise you to stay out of my business. Otherwise, the consequences aren't something you can afford to bear."

"Flender, just you dare."

"In all the years I've lived, you're the first person who has ever dared treat me like this."

Facing Flender's attack, Ning Rongrong also exposed her spoiled and overbearing side in front of everyone for the first time.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others all turned pale with shock. They had never imagined that such a gentle-seeming little girl would actually say something like this.

And at this moment, the gentle look on Ning Rongrong's face was already gone, replaced by open disdain, filled with a feeling of superiority from high above.

Oscar, who had already gotten a sense of Ning Rongrong after being beaten flat by her while they were running together, also wore a face of disbelief at this moment.

He had known Ning Rongrong had a bad temper, but he had never expected her to dare act like this even in front of Dean Flender. It was simply too outrageous!

Su Mo, on the other hand, had long known Ning Rongrong had this kind of personality, so he did not react much.

"Your father can't bear to discipline you, but that doesn't mean I can't bear to either. You aren't my daughter..."

Next, Flender launched another round of attacks aimed right at Ning Rongrong's sore spots, criticizing her until she had nothing left to stand on. From Ning Rongrong's personality to her own abilities, he struck at her from every angle.

In the end, he even said Ning Rongrong was the worst of all the students.

Then he praised Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others one by one, naturally including Su Mo as well. "And Su Mo. Although his Soul Power Level is only level 22, his combat strength isn't weak at all. Even Dai Mubai is no match for him!"

It was just that Flender dragging Dai Mubai out for a public whipping like that made Dai Mubai, who had originally been watching the show, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Hearing Dai Mubai mentioned, apart from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had seen Su Mo defeat Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all turned their gazes toward Su Mo.

They already knew about this matter as well, but they still found it a little hard to believe that Su Mo had really defeated Dai Mubai.

"Then what about Oscar?"

Facing the people Flender had pointed out, such as Dai Mubai and the others, Ning Rongrong truly had no comeback. Knowing she could not refute Flender's words, she could only shift her target in the end to Oscar, who had already been punished and sent off to run.

As expected, when Flender revealed that Oscar's talent was Innate Full Soul Power, Ning Rongrong was completely struck into doubting her life. It seemed that among Shrek's many students, she really was the worst one.

"Wah..."

Ning Rongrong, who had been battered until she had nothing left intact, finally burst into tears with a wail and ran off.

Seeing Ning Rongrong run away crying, everyone looked at one another in dismay.

Although they felt Ning Rongrong's personality was very bad, Flender had still gone too far. He had actually scolded her until she cried.

"Dean, should I still help her pack her luggage?"

Dai Mubai asked tentatively.

"Pack what? Are you that eager for her to leave?"

"Although Ning Rongrong is spoiled and overbearing, her nature isn't bad. She was only spoiled rotten since childhood. Just let her think it through herself!"

"Go inform Oscar that his punishment is waived, and have him comfort Ning Rongrong. We're getting ready to set off!"

Flender glared at Dai Mubai irritably, then spoke.

"Yes, Dean. I'll go right away!"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately agreed. He did not want Ning Rongrong to leave either.

"We'll wait for Dai Mubai for a moment, then set off for Suotuo City!"

"Your first class will take place in Suotuo City!"

After seeing Dai Mubai run off to inform Oscar, Flender spoke to Su Mo and the others again.

Naturally, no one had any objections, so they waited where they were for Dai Mubai.

"Dean, I've already informed Oscar!"

Dai Mubai returned very quickly.

"Mm. Then let's set off!"

Flender nodded, then led everyone toward Suotuo City.

"The place I'm taking you to today is actually Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena!"

"Dai Mubai, introduce the so-called Great Soul Arena to these new students."

On the road, Flender also revealed the lesson's content, then had Dai Mubai explain what the Great Soul Arena was.

Dai Mubai naturally did not dare refuse, and then introduced the situation at the Great Soul Arena to Su Mo and the others.

"So we're going there to fight. Great!"

Once Xiao Wu understood, she immediately grew excited, looking eager to have a go.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Tang San, meanwhile, immediately thought of whether there might be danger.

Dai Mubai had no choice but to explain to everyone again that there were two kinds of matches at the Great Soul Arena. One was more like a spar and was not very dangerous, while the other was a duel to the death and was more dangerous. They only needed to participate in the first kind.

"Oh, right, Su Mo!"

Up ahead, Flender suddenly thought of something and turned back to call Su Mo.

"Dean, what is it?"

Su Mo looked at Flender.

"It's like this. I'm having you participate in the Great Soul Arena to train your practical combat ability, so don't use your Mystic Iron Spear. Otherwise, there won't be many opponents at the Soul Grandmaster level who can match you, and that won't have much of a training effect."

"And the same goes for you, Tang San. You're going up there to train your control over your martial soul. Those weapons of yours called Hidden Weapons—don't use them for now either."

Flender quickly said what he wanted to say, forbidding Su Mo from using his martial-soul-fused Mystic Iron Spear, while also telling Tang San not to use Hidden Weapons.

"Sure. No problem."

Su Mo also wanted to build up more combat experience, so he agreed when he heard this.

If he used the Mystic Iron Spear, it really would be too much of a bully.

"Yes, Dean!"

Tang San also said there was no problem.

About half an hour later, Su Mo and the group arrived in Suotuo City, then quickly came to the Great Soul Arena of Suotuo City.

Under Dai Mubai's lead, Su Mo, Tang San, and Xiao Wu quickly completed their registrations.

Su Mo also soon welcomed his first Soul Duel Competition.

Su Mo VS Xiao Wu.
