Ning Rongrong: Do You Feel Something for Me?

Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened when he saw Tang Lan!

He strode over.

"You really came."

"You don't need to queue here. You can skip the first three tests."

"Come with me."

His words caused an uproar!

"Why doesn't he have to take the test?"

"Even if you're pulling strings, shouldn't you at least try to hide it?"

"How much for a spot? I can pay!"

Dai Mubai frowned!

He stomped his foot, and Soul Power surged outward.

The people who had been shouting immediately shut their mouths in fright.

"What are you making such a fuss for?" Dai Mubai snapped. "Anyone with a Soul Power Level above 25 can skip the preliminary test."

"If any of you are above level 25, step forward. You can go straight in too!"

That left everyone dumbfounded!

The enrollment requirement was a maximum age of twelve. How could anyone have Soul Power Level 25 at that age?

What kind of genius would that take?

Dai Mubai gave Tang Lan a look.

Tang Lan understood.

He had no desire to waste time standing in line anyway, so he simply unleashed his martial soul. Two yellow and one purple soul ring rose beneath his feet.

Other than Dai Mubai, everyone present was stunned speechless!

What had they just seen?

A Three-Ring Soul Elder!

And a freaking twelve-year-old Three-Ring Soul Elder at that!!!

"Hehe, then I can skip the test too, right?" Xiao Wu said with a smile as she summoned her martial soul.

The same two yellow and one purple rings appeared. This time, even Dai Mubai's mouth twitched.

A Monster's friends really were Monsters too!

Ning Rongrong, who had been about to lose her temper, was silenced at once.

She was only level 26!

She had only reached that level because she came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had enjoyed every kind of cultivation resource since childhood.

What kind of monsters were these two?!

Li Yusong was the first to recover. He rushed over and checked Xiao Wu's bone age first.

She passed!

But when he got to Tang Lan, he hit a snag.

"Hm?"

"Have you trained some kind of technique with your hands?"

He crouched down and examined Tang Lan's feet.

The result was the same—nothing!

"Did you train your feet as well?"

Li Yusong stood up, preparing to inspect his other bones.

Tang Lan waved him off.

—The Indestructible Body was flawless and without weakness throughout the entire body. It was all the same.

That put Li Yusong in a difficult position.

If he could not check Tang Lan's bone age, how was he supposed to determine his age?

Light flashed in Tang Lan's hand as he took out a certificate issued by Spirit Hall from Blue King.

"This can prove my age."

Li Yusong took it and looked it over.

"Martial soul: Blue Silver Grass?"

"Innate Soul Power Level 3?"

His whole face wrinkled up!

Was this really the kind of starting point that could produce a twelve-year-old Three-Ring Soul Elder?

The more he looked at it, the faker it seemed!

Just as he was hesitating,

Tang San hurried over from the back of the line.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. We're taking the test." Tang Lan said casually. "Little Sanzi is my younger twin brother. He's level 27 as well. You can check him."

Li Yusong silently inspected Tang San's palm, and his eye twitched.

Another hand-training technique!

Fortunately,

Li Yusong was able to determine Tang San's bone age from his feet this time. He really was only twelve.

But—

He looked at the tall, handsome Tang Lan, then at the skinny Tang San, who even seemed somewhat old-fashioned.

These were twins?

"Teacher Li," Dai Mubai reminded him, "Spirit Hall has records of all this. You can verify it later. Right now—"

Li Yusong smacked his forehead!

Why was he getting hung up on this?

Checking it later would not take much effort.

But if his suspicions caused him to lose such monstrous geniuses—

Not to mention Xiao Wu and Tang San were close to Tang Lan. Losing Tang Lan would mean losing three geniuses at once!

He immediately gave Tang Lan an apologetic look.

"You've passed the test. Mubai, take them to the Fourth Gate."

Dai Mubai answered.

"Wait!" Ning Rongrong called out. "My Soul Power is level 26. I can skip to the Fourth Gate too, right?"

"And me." Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward as well. "Level 27."

When Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing, the pupils in his eyes overlapped!

The attraction of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Yet Zhu Zhuqing did not even glance at Dai Mubai. Her gaze drifted toward Tang Lan from time to time.

Xiao Wu and Tang San both called Tang Lan brother.

So she was not his girlfriend, but his younger sister?

Li Yusong tested the bone age and Soul Power of both girls one by one.

Zhu Zhuqing was fine.

But Ning Rongrong—

"Does your family know you came here?" Li Yusong asked tactfully.

"What does that matter?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head and put on an adorable expression. "I am me. I can make my own decisions. Aren't you recruiting Monsters? Don't I qualify?"

Li Yusong froze for a moment, then smiled so broadly that wrinkles filled his face.

"Good, good, good!"

"Five little Monsters have appeared all at once this year."

"Shrek is going to get lively!"

"Mubai, take them to Lao Zhao."

Dai Mubai answered, then turned and headed into the academy.

Tang Lan took the lead in following him, and the others moved together.

Ning Rongrong approached them, speaking openly across Xiao Wu—

"Handsome, don't you feel anything for me?"

She was referring to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

But Xiao Wu had clearly misunderstood.

With her hands on her hips, she said, "Hey! My brother would never like you!"

Ning Rongrong's smile stiffened!

When had the little princess ever suffered such humiliation?

She had even chosen to overlook the earlier offense.

And now this girl was picking a fight?

"Alright, Xiao Wu." Tang Lan pressed a hand on Xiao Wu's head. "Your brother is single. It's rare for a pretty girl to come looking for me, so don't ruin my chances."

Xiao Wu was furious!

You were single?

Then what did you do to me at night?

Was that a brother giving his sister a physical examination?

She turned her head away and ignored Tang Lan.

Tang Lan was not in a hurry. He could coax her later.

Behind them, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled slightly—just as she had guessed!

As for Ning Rongrong—

"I do feel something," Tang Lan said meaningfully. "Once we pass the test, we can talk about it in detail."

Ning Rongrong nodded stiffly.

For Tang Lan's sake, she would not argue with that little girl!

Behind them,

Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed slightly. Tang Lan really was popular with girls.

If she acted too late, then she might—

But taking the initiative was not in her nature either!

She fell into conflict.

"Selling sausages!"

"Oscar's Big Sausages—delicious and nourishing!"

A cry of salesmanship rang out, accompanied by the rich aroma of sausages.

They looked up,

And saw a scruffy, bearded Oscar pushing a cart toward them.

"Oscar!" Dai Mubai barked. "How many times have I warned you? You are not allowed to sell your sausages inside the academy!"

Oscar's face fell.

"Dai-laoda, don't be like this!"

"I'm helping the academy reduce its burden too—"

But Dai Mubai remained firm.

"Make a fresh sausage."

Oscar looked embarrassed!

He secretly glanced at Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, clearly reluctant.

"Dai-laoda, we've been classmates for years."

"The new junior sisters and brothers will hold a grudge against me if you do this!"

Everyone except Tang Lan was rather surprised.

This scruffy man was a student too?

Dai Mubai merely sneered.

"I'm saving you here. Don't force me to make a move!"

With things having reached that point,

Oscar could only reluctantly begin chanting his incantation—

"I've got a big sausage!"

A sausage appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, looks of disgust appeared on everyone's faces!

That incantation—

It was way too sleazy!

Oscar sighed.

"I can't help it either."

"For a food-type martial soul to change, it has to be paired with different incantations—"

The baby was aggrieved too, okay?

But no one accepted that explanation.

Tang San even took half a step back in disgust.

Just as Oscar was sighing and assuming the sale had fallen through,

Tang Lan stepped forward!
