Across all of Douluo Dalu, there were not many factions that dared disrespect the Star Luo Empire, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was definitely one of them.

Though he claimed he wanted to temper his daughter, Ning Fengzhi still loved her dearly. The bodyguards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had arranged for Ning Rongrong this time could only be described as extravagant.

They included a support-system Soul Saint whose martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, seven Soul Saints with complementary martial souls, and a Soul Douluo leading them.

Such a lineup might not necessarily defeat a Titled Douluo, but holding one off for a while and escaping safely with Ning Rongrong would be no problem at all. With the support of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Saint, seven Soul Saints plus a Soul Douluo could easily demolish Shrek Academy.

"Dai Mubai, what are you trying to do?"

At the gates of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong was sent flying without any ability to resist by the Soul Power Dai Mubai had suddenly unleashed. Seeing this, Oscar hurried forward, intending to catch her. Yet before he could reach her, a hand steadily caught Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing's icy voice rang out.

The one who had acted was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, who had just left.

Though Dai Mubai had angered her badly, Zhu Zhuqing had not gone far.

Thus, after sensing that Dai Mubai had taken his anger out on Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing hurried back. At the critical moment, she caught Ning Rongrong, who had been blasted away by Dai Mubai's Soul Power, and now stood facing Dai Mubai without yielding an inch.

"Dai Mubai, is it interesting to take your anger out on others over matters between us? Heh, after all these years, you really are the same. A dog can't stop eating shit—you haven't changed at all!" Zhu Zhuqing's face revealed neither joy nor anger, but everyone present could clearly feel the fury contained in her voice.

"Zhuqing, this... I wasn't..." Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had actually returned, and that she had witnessed his ugliest side, Dai Mubai no longer had the mind to trouble Ning Rongrong. He was completely stunned.

"We're all classmates. Let it go!" At that moment, Tang San stepped forward and stood between them, trying to mediate.

He really did enjoy playing peacemaker. Whenever he handled a problem, he never cared who was right or wrong; he simply tried to smooth things over.

Still, that gave Dai Mubai a way out. Seeing this, Dai Mubai hurriedly reined in the Soul Power radiating from his body and said, "Fine, Xiao San, I'll give you face."

After saying that, Dai Mubai shot Ning Rongrong another cold glare. "Remember this. This isn't your home. Don't provoke me again, or I won't care what your status is."

"Perfect!" Li Ang, who had been watching Shrek Academy all along, was overjoyed when he saw Dai Mubai put on such a textbook villainous expression.

Dai Mubai truly deserves to be the member of the protagonist squad who looks most like a villain. His ability to draw hatred is on par with Nalan Yanran's.

Sure enough, the moment those words came out, Ning Rongrong exploded. As the pampered young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had never suffered such humiliation. Dai Mubai had struck her first, and now he was even threatening her verbally. At this moment, Ning Rongrong truly wanted nothing more than to kill Dai Mubai.

"Dai Mubai, sooner or later, I'll kill you!" Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, rage blazing in her dark pupils.

"Yep, that's it, that's the feeling."

At the same time, Li Ang, who was enjoying the show, could not help sighing inwardly. This really has Xiao Yan's flavor. If she added, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never bully a poor young girl!' it would be even more perfect!

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai did not realize that a cheat-enabled protagonist was about to rise. He did not take Ning Rongrong's threat seriously at all.

Though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the continent's number one support martial soul, it was still only a support martial soul in the end. It possessed no offensive power whatsoever.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong, though it was powerful, he, Dai Mubai, was also the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. If they really compared backgrounds, who was afraid of whom?

Since he believed Ning Rongrong could do nothing to him, Dai Mubai looked utterly disdainful of her threat.

His lips moved, and Dai Mubai, his face filled with contempt, was about to say something more. However, he was somewhat wary of Zhu Zhuqing beside Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai was not afraid of Ning Rongrong, but he was deeply wary of Zhu Zhuqing, and his feelings toward her were quite complicated as well.

Because of their marriage contract, Dai Mubai instinctively regarded Zhu Zhuqing as his personal possession. Yet Zhu Zhuqing was ridiculously strong, and her attacks were incomparably ruthless, leaving Dai Mubai unable to do anything about her.

Therefore, noticing that Zhu Zhuqing's expression was becoming increasingly wrong, Dai Mubai did not dare say anything further. After giving Ning Rongrong a sinister glare, he strode into the academy.

Late at night, Shrek Academy was incomparably quiet. Whether they were villagers living nearby or students of Shrek Academy, they had all already entered the land of dreams.

However, Ning Rongrong was clearly not among them.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong lay on her bed with a face full of grief and indignation. Having been pampered and surrounded by luxury since childhood, it was the first time she had tasted helplessness.

Though she had made harsh vows about killing Dai Mubai, as a Support Soul Master, she simply did not possess that ability.

Thus, the first method Ning Rongrong thought of was to borrow someone else's strength.

But evidently, Ning Rongrong failed. She offered Tang San generous terms, hoping to use his strength to kill Dai Mubai, but Tang San's heart was entirely with Dai Mubai now. Why would he pay any attention to Ning Rongrong?

Thus, not only did Ning Rongrong fail to obtain Tang San's help, she was even rebuked by him. And it was not just Tang SanOscar, who had always acted like a simp around her, actually dared to rebuke her too.

This infuriated Ning Rongrong greatly, making her deeply realize the importance of strength in Douluo Dalu.

If there had been no outside influence, the powerless Ning Rongrong would have chosen to give up on herself in the future and integrate into Shrek Academy, eventually even accepting Oscar's affection.

It could not be helped. Humans were ultimately social creatures. If someone was isolated for a long time, most people would choose to integrate into the group, regardless of whether that group's position was right or wrong.

However, the Douluo Dalu of today was no longer the Douluo Dalu of the original timeline. Just as Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and cried out, "I don't want to suffer today's humiliation a second time,"

a glimmer of silver light suddenly lit up in her hand, while a strange laugh abruptly entered her ears.

"Hehehe, little girl, it seems you need help?"
