Picking a Fight, Tang Hao's Failed Showboating

Ning Rongrong did not particularly like Tang San and Xiao Wu. She felt that the relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu was far too strange, but since Tang San had not provoked her, she decided to pretend she had not noticed.

All of them had suffered injuries to varying degrees.

That night, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing lay down in their dormitory, exhausted.

"Rongrong, you're really amazing."

Zhu Zhuqing greatly admired Ning Rongrong. She was even more eager to meet Ning Rongrong's sister. She wanted to become as strong as Ning Rongrong too, so that at the very least, she would have the strength to protect herself from Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit.

Ning Rongrong lowered her head shyly. "Zhuqing, you're amazing too!"

"Rongrong, I'm a little hungry. This academy only serves wild vegetables and steamed buns for dinner. I didn't get enough to eat."

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement. "Me too."

Just then, a series of sounds came from beside the bed, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing warily looked toward the window.

A young woman climbed in through the window, carrying two lunch boxes that gave off a rich aroma.

"Hungry? I knew the food here would be terrible, so I brought food for our little princess."

Mu Yu's voice reached Ning Rongrong's ears. Ning Rongrong shot up from the bed in delight and threw herself at the young woman.

"Big Sister! Why are you here? I missed you so much!"

Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment. The young woman before her looked sixteen or seventeen—was she the incredibly capable sister Ning Rongrong had spoken of?

Mu Yu handed one of the lunch boxes to Ning Rongrong. "Here, it's all your favorite food."

Ning Rongrong eagerly opened the lunch box. Seeing that it was filled with dishes she loved, she prepared to dig in.

Only then did she notice Zhu Zhuqing's awkward expression.

"Zhuqing, this is my sister. Sister, this is my friend, Zhu Zhuqing."

Zhu Zhuqing shyly greeted Mu Yu. Mu Yu nodded in response and handed Zhu Zhuqing a lunch box.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the lunch box in Mu Yu's hand in surprise. There was one for her too?

"Take it. What are you standing there for?"

Mu Yu reminded Zhu Zhuqing, who accepted the food and softly said thank you.

"It's nothing. You're Rongrong's friend, so you're half a little sister to me."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed shyly. Ning Rongrong's sister was such a wonderful person—beautiful and so considerate. She was truly envious.

After watching Zhuqing and Rongrong finish eating, Mu Yu took back the lunch boxes.

"If anything comes up, come find me at the City Lord's Mansion."

"Okay, Big Sister."

"By the way, Rongrong, while I was gone, you didn't slack off, did you?"

Ning Rongrong looked aggrieved. "Even when you weren't around, Sister Dugu and the others kept an eye on me."

Mu Yu smiled. "Yanzi did well."

"Then, Rongrong, we can't stop our training, or all our previous effort will have been for nothing."

"Ah?"

"Then I'll come find you after school tomorrow, Rongrong."

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had remained silent, spoke up.

"Um... can I join Rongrong too? Rongrong said she became so powerful because of your training... I want to become stronger too..."

Seeing the cute little cat take the initiative to join, Mu Yu naturally did not refuse.

"No problem."

After leaving Ning Rongrong's dormitory, Mu Yu did not leave. Instead, she headed toward Zhao Wuji's room.

If her guess was right, Tang Hao had already arrived.

She and Di Tian crouched in the nearby bushes.

"What are we doing here?"

Di Tian asked in confusion.

"Watching a show."

Just as expected, Tang Hao called Zhao Wuji out.

"Who are you?" Zhao Wuji warily asked the black-clad man before him.

"I have long heard of the title Immovable Ming King. I came here tonight to spar with you."

The black-clad man slowly raised his right hand. Immediately, black light gathered in his palm and transformed into an enormous weapon. At the same time, a full nine soul rings silently appeared around him.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. Unlike Zhao Wuji's, the nine soul rings did not pulse. Instead, they remained motionless at different positions around the black-clad man's body, completely enveloping him.

Nine soul rings were already an exceedingly terrifying sight, especially his final one, which was red—the color representing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"Titled Douluo." Zhao Wuji struggled to force out those four words. Even his Immoveable Ming King form trembled. If he stood among the upper ranks of Soul Masters, then a Titled Douluo stood at the very pinnacle of them.

The dominance in his earlier words had vanished without a trace. Zhao Wuji hurriedly bent at the waist in salute. "May I ask which senior has arrived? Please do not joke with this junior. How could I possibly be worthy of sparring with you?"

The man in black said blandly, "What does worthy or unworthy have to do with it?

"When you bullied those children during the day, didn't you enjoy it well enough? I've discovered that bullying people seems to feel rather good, so let me bully you too. Of course, you may think of this as using strength to oppress the weak."

Without releasing any imposing aura, the man in black held that enormous weapon and walked step by step toward Zhao Wuji.

At that moment, Flender arrived after hearing the commotion.

"Senior, may I ask how we have offended you?"

"Heh heh." Tang Hao's disdainful voice rang out. "You beat up the younger ones, so naturally the older ones have come to seek justice."

Zhao Wuji froze. He had beaten five people that morning in total, excluding Dai Mubai. The person before him could not possibly be related to Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing. In that case... was this man Tang San's father?

Wait, Tang San? Tang...

He raised his head in shock. "You are... the Clear Sky Douluo..."

"Heh heh, I didn't expect you to know who I am."

Flender was also deeply shocked. Tang Hao... he could not defeat him, nor did he dare to fight him.

"Zhao Wuji, I'll give you a chance. Hold out under my hands for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and I'll let you go."

With that, he gave Zhao Wuji no time to react before raising his hand and attacking.

For an instant, Zhao Wuji felt as though he could not breathe. He felt that this was where he would meet his end...

At that moment, a massive Manta Ray blocked Zhao Wuji's path, Xiao Mo raising both hands to withstand the great hammer.

Flender was stunned upon seeing Xiao Mo, while Tang Hao was greatly surprised. The person before him was evenly matched with him in strength.

Zhao Wuji looked gratefully at Xiao Mo. Of course, the latter did not spare him so much as a glance.

"Who are you!?"

Tang Hao glared furiously at Xiao Mo.

"Oh~ Clear Sky Douluo, it's been a long time~"

Mu Yu walked over from the side and came to stand beside Xiao Mo.

"It's you!?"

Tang Hao stared at Mu Yu in shock.

"You actually dare to show yourself!"

"Heh, Tang Hao, I really can't stand you using your strength to bully the weak. Teacher Zhao was merely doing his duty, and Rongrong was injured too. Even I, her older sister, wasn't angry. Is your son somehow so special?"

Ning Rongrong's older sister? Zhao Wuji and Flender were both stunned.

Could this be Gu Rong's legendary disciple, Mu Yu?

Tang Hao was furious, but he knew that he now had to face four people, one of whom was as strong as himself. He would definitely gain no advantage.

Tang Hao forced himself to calm down. "Mu Yu, very well. Just wait. Ning Rongrong is your younger sister—I'll make sure you pay dearly!"

"Then Clear Sky Douluo, you'd better try harder. I wonder whether you'll kill my little sister first, or I'll kill your son first."

She pointed at Xiao Mo. "I know many people as strong as him. In other words, I know people stronger than you. Tang Hao, be careful not to lose more than you gain and get yourself dragged down with it."

Tang Hao froze for a moment, then fled in a rage, leaving behind only one sentence: "If you dare touch Xiao San, I'll tear down the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Mu Yu clicked her tongue and muttered softly, "Do you believe I'll have Grandpa tear down your Clear Sky Sect? Having Old Poison poison the place would work too."

She turned to look at Zhao Wuji and Flender, who barely dared to breathe.

Zhao Wuji immediately bowed to Mu Yu. "Thank you, Miss Mu, for saving my life. Zhao will surely repay even a drop of kindness with..."

Mu Yu waved her hand. "Alright, if you truly want to thank me, then keep an eye on Rongrong and Qingqing for me."

If Tang Hao dares trouble you again, just come find me. I happen to have a small grudge against him too.

Flender bowed slightly. "Then we thank you, Miss Mu."
