Ning Rongrong's Talent! One Sausage Per Bite!

Ning Rongrong's Talent! One Sausage Per Bite!

Just as everyone thought the two of them were about to come to blows,

Dai Mubai smiled instead.

"That works too." Dai Mubai said casually, "I don't think I could ever devote myself to just one woman."

Though he said that,

Emotional Value +9999

This was what it meant to say one thing and mean another.

Still, Dai Mubai was willing to maintain the surface peace.

Zhuge Lan was happy to do the same.

—After all, as long as he showed off his affection, Dai Mubai would steadily provide Emotional Value.

What a wonderful thing.

"Good." Zhuge Lan smiled. "As compensation for breaking my promise, I'll help you reclaim the throne of the Star Luo Empire."

Emotional Value +11111

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, and his breathing quickened!

Why was he willing to try winning Zhu Zhuqing back?

Wasn't it for this?

"R-really?" Dai Mubai asked shakily. "How confident are you?"

How confident?

Zhuge Lan merely smiled and turned to leave.

He left behind a single sentence.

"As long as you achieve a Title, the throne will naturally be yours."

Dai Mubai: (°ω°)

Achieve a Title?

What did that mean?

Was Zhuge Lan going to train him into a Title Douluo?

Or did he mean that Dai Mubai had the potential to become one?

Dai Mubai was deeply conflicted and wanted to go after him to get a clear answer.

Ma Hongjun shouted, "Dean Flander is here!"

Dai Mubai could only give up for now and line up with the others.

After Flender landed, his gaze paused on Ning Rongrong.

His brows furrowed!

Ning Rongrong's heart tightened!

Could it be...

"Where's Oscar?" Flender asked unhappily.

Ning Rongrong: "."

You did that on purpose!

Still, she let out a huge sigh of relief. It seemed staying at Shrek would not be a problem.

Then next came...

No one answered Flender.

Oscar and Dai Mubai shared a dormitory, but Dai Mubai had not returned all night.

So no one knew.

"Mubai, go call Oscar over." Flender said. "Today's training can't proceed without him."

Dai Mubai had just lifted his leg.

When he saw Oscar rushing over, his face filled not with panic over being late, but excitement!

"Oscar!" Flender glared. "Do you want to run laps again?"

"Good news, Dean!" Oscar grinned. "I just broke through to Rank 30!"

Flender froze.

Then he was overjoyed!

He flashed to Oscar's side and pressed a hand against his shoulder to inspect his Soul Power.

"Good, good, good!" Flender laughed. "A fourteen-year-old Food-type Soul Elder—even the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall have never produced one, have they? Hahaha—"

"Holy shit!" Ma Hongjun cried. "Xiao Ao, that was way too fast!"

"Congrats, Xiao Ao." Dai Mubai said with a smile.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Even Ning Rongrong followed along with a word of congratulations.

That surprised Oscar quite a bit.

—Why hadn't this Little Witch left yet?

But he had high emotional intelligence and did not mention it.

After a brief celebration, he joined the line.

"Alright, we'll discuss everything else later. First, today's lesson."

Flender announced loudly—

"Today's lesson is very simple. It's called Adaptability Training."

"Each of you only needs to watch Oscar make a Soul Power Sausage, then eat it in front of everyone."

The others wore strange expressions at those words.

Oscar's sausages...

They had eaten them the day before yesterday, thanks to Zhuge Lan stirring things up.

—Except for Ning Rongrong.

Seeing their odd expressions, Flender assumed they were resistant.

He immediately berated them—

"Which is more important, your life or your pride?"

"Oscar's Soul Incantation might be a little obscene, but he is a Food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. That alone proves his talent."

"He is your teammate. Are you going to throw away such an excellent support partner over a single Soul Incantation?"

"When your life is in danger, even rats, cockroaches, and earthworms should be things you fight to eat!"

Zhuge Lan silently raised his hand.

Flender nodded for him to speak.

"I have no problem with eating sausages."

Emotional Value +666

Zhuge Lan's excellent attitude made Flender feel greatly gratified.

A genius who was humble too—he would surely accomplish great things in the future!

Unexpectedly,

Zhuge Lan added, "But I have a Storage Belt, and plenty of them. I can bring my own food, so there's no need for me to eat rats."

Flender's smile froze!

Emotional Value +999

What was this?

Was he pulling that "give a sweet date, then swing a stick" routine on his teacher?

Just as he was about to get angry,

Zhuge Lan was already standing before Oscar, giving him a meaningful look.

Oscar understood instantly.

"I Have a Big Sausage!"

Taking the freshly made, steaming sausage, Zhuge Lan took a huge bite.

Zhu Zhuqing and the others quickly followed suit.

Emotional Value +666

Flender was so angry that he laughed.

Why was Zhuge Lan as bizarre as his soul skill?!

But seeing him take the lead and get everyone to obediently eat the sausages,

his anger subsided.

—That was the favoritism shown to outstanding students.

Very soon,

only Ning Rongrong remained, staring at the sausage in her hand.

Unable to make up her mind.

"You're giving up over such a small challenge?" Zhu Zhuqing provoked her. "Then you should go back to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The method was simple, but effective.

Ning Rongrong steeled herself and gritted her teeth!

She closed her eyes, stuffed the entire sausage into her mouth, and swallowed it whole.

Zhuge Lan's brows rose at the sight!

Ning Rongrong had that kind of talent too?

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai exchanged suggestive looks.

They secretly communicated in men's code.

Zhuge Lan understood it. It was very dirty.

Ning Rongrong did not understand, but instinctively felt uncomfortable.

"Hey! You three!" Zhu Zhuqing shielded Ning Rongrong and scolded, "Talking about a girl behind her back is shameless!"

Dai Mubai's expression changed as he tried to retort.

"Phew—"

Zhuge Lan blew on the Li Jing Longsword and wiped it with his sleeve.

He was standing up for his woman.

Oscar, who still needed Zhuge Lan's help, immediately switched sides.

"We just got sand in our eyes. Don't misunderstand, okay?"

Emotional Value +233

Ma Hongjun looked up at the sky and whistled.

—This guy was truly not someone he could afford to provoke.

Emotional Value +444

Even Dai Mubai,

because of the earlier "Title" question, gave them face and spread his hands.

Indicating that he meant no harm.

Emotional Value +111

Ning Rongrong knew quite a bit herself and had been on the verge of getting angry.

She had not expected Zhu Zhuqing and Zhuge Lan to stand up for her.

Thinking of how she had been isolated yesterday, warmth rose in her heart.

Emotional Value +555

"It's fine, Zhu Zhuqing." Ning Rongrong grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand. "I just got a little choked."

Zhu Zhuqing did not say much more.

Ning Rongrong had been protected too well since childhood. Some things were not easy to explain clearly.

She was only helping Zhuge Lan out.

Otherwise, she could not have been bothered with this.

"Very good."

Flender said with satisfaction—

"Forget the meaningless Soul Incantation. Oscar can make you stronger, and even allow you to perform beyond your limits."

"You have one day to adjust. Tomorrow morning, everyone will set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to begin the next group training."

"Dismissed."

Flender turned and left, leaving the eight of them looking at one another.

This...

"The lesson's over already?" Xiao Wu questioned. "Was it always this easy for you before?"

Unexpectedly,

they received an outrageous answer!

They heard—
