Hail! Hydra!

Hearing Chen Feng's words, the group was somewhat puzzled.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously:

What is Nine-Headed Serpent?

"It's an ancient monster with terrifying strength and incredible immortality," Chen Feng explained.

"Immortality?" Tang San was very interested in this topic. "What kind of immortality?"

"The Nine-Headed Serpent's immortality lies in its ability to grow two heads back after one is cut off, so it will never die."

Chen Feng looked at everyone and smiled:

"The reason I chose this name for ourselves is that I hope the nine of us can become as strong as Nine-Headed Serpent, and that more and more classmates will join our Academy in the future."

"Sounds pretty good, Nine-Headed Serpent. It's quite imposing and powerful. I like it," Xiao Wu said.

"I think it's good too." Tang San nodded. He was quite interested in this kind of immortal creature and thought that naming it after it would be a very interesting thing.

Seeing that no one else, including Ma Hongjun, had any objections, Chen Feng said:

"In that case, I'll talk to Big Brother Dai about this when he gets back. If Big Brother Dai agrees, the nine of us will be called Nine-Headed Serpent from now on. Nine is a figurative number, so even if more people join later, we won't have to change our name."

"In addition, Nine-Headed Serpent has a more formal name, Hydra, so if we are called Nine-Headed Serpent, we can greet each other by raising our right hand and saying, 'Hi, Hydra!'"

After finishing their discussion about names, Chen Feng and the others arrived at the student dormitory.

It's called a student dormitory, but it's really just a few large Wooden House, each with two Wooden House, meaning that two students will share a cabin.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Ma Hongjun said:

"Before you arrived, I shared a room with Boss Dai, and Oscar had a room to himself. Now that you're here, you can decide where you'll stay, but remember, no mixed-gender rooms."

"I'll be sharing a room with Sister Rongrong," Bai Chenxiang said, clinging to Ning Rongrong's arm.

"Then I'll live with... Zhu Zhuqing, is that alright?" Xiao Wu asked Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, having no objections.

"Then I'll share a room with Xiao San," Chen Feng said.

For him, sharing a room with Oscar and Tang San would be a good choice.

One can get free food, the other can get free Refreshing Tea.

However, since Chen Feng was more familiar with Tang San, he still chose Tang San.

As for Oscar, he'll just have to make do with a single room, since they won't be staying here for long anyway.

Upon entering the dormitory, Chen Feng and Tang San took out some commonly used items from their Storage Ring and arranged them neatly.

Tang San said as he arranged the items:

"I never imagined we'd actually get to fight a Soul Saint today; it's an experience I've never had before."

"As we grow up, we will have more and more experiences like this in the future," Chen Feng said.

Tang San nodded and said:

"That's true, but that slap from Teacher Zhao really hurt. I was knocked unconscious on the spot, and his Gravity Enhancement put a lot of pressure on me."

"But with your current recovery ability, this kind of injury will be over in no time," Chen Feng said with a smile. "When you stood up unscathed, Teacher Zhao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets."

"Yes, minor injuries don't bother me much anymore," Tang San said with emotion. "As my Soul Power grows, I feel more and more that the path you pointed me to was the right one."

"That's right, I'm a genius." Chen Feng said with a hint of pride.

"So, what are your plans to do about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's situation, you great genius?" Tang San smiled and looked at him.

Chen Feng's smug expression froze instantly, and he said irritably:

Why do you always bring up topics that are hard to put down? They're just young girls, what's there to solve?

Influenced by his beliefs from his previous life, he never had any romantic feelings for girls his own age.

After all, it's really too much to be attracted to a girl who's just over ten years old; in his previous life, a girl that age would have been a primary school student.

Chen Feng's mental age is already over thirty, so he simply can't bring himself to pursue girls his own age.

However, the previous confrontation between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing made Chen Feng realize that both girls had developed feelings for him, so Chen Feng was unsure how to handle the situation.

If all else fails, he'll just have to bury his head in the sand; he should wait until he's older before thinking about relationships.

Seeing that Chen Feng was somewhat avoiding the topic, Tang San, understanding the situation, didn't continue but instead asked about something else:

How confident are you about condensing your Soul Ring this time?

"It's hard to say," Chen Feng shook his head. "We haven't successfully condensed a single Soul Ring yet. Even though I've built a theoretical model, the transition from theory to practice is never smooth."

Tang San sighed softly. He understood the meaning of those words very deeply. Behind the success of the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus lay countless days and nights of failure.

He initially relied on a tattered blueprint, but eventually succeeded in creating three Buddha Fury Tang Lotus pieces. Only he knows how many setbacks and confusions he encountered during that process.

Therefore, Tang San is probably the only one who can truly understand Chen Feng's current predicament.

"Even if we fail this time, it's okay, Xiao Feng," Tang San said earnestly. "With our talent, we can definitely achieve the title of Titled Douluo, which means we still have six more chances to try."

"I miscalculated, it's not six chances." Chen Feng shook his head.

"Was I wrong?" Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled.

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face as he said:

"The two of us have thirteen chances to try, and if we can find more partners to join us, our chances will increase."

"And we'll have children, and those children will have children, generation after generation, endlessly. As long as we persevere, there will be countless opportunities to try. So the failure of the experiment won't defeat me; what I'm worried about are other things."

"What is it?" Tang San raised his eyebrows.

Chen Feng looked at him and said in a serious tone:

"What I worry about is what will happen if one day we discover something taboo that infringes on the interests of some people, and they label me as an irredeemable villain, wanting to destroy my body and mind?"

"Then let them step over my dead body first," Tang San said without hesitation.

Seeing Chen Feng's surprised expression, he smiled and said:

"But if things continue like this, it might be difficult for me to die, so it will be difficult for you to die either. Just relax."

Chen Feng paused for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged Tang San, "Good brother."

Just as he was about to say something more, the door was pushed open.

"Xiao Feng, let's go eat. What are you guys doing?"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng looked over and saw Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Bai Chenxiang, and Zhu Zhuqing standing at the door, with Ning Rongrong still in a position as if she were about to push the door open.

Xiao Wu, standing on tiptoe behind, saw the scene inside the room and gasped in surprise, covering her mouth.

"My God, what are you guys doing?"

"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. We were just talking about something." Chen Feng quickly released Tang San.

"What could possibly require us to hug each other to talk about?" Ning Rongrong asked with a suspicious look.

"We're not hugging and talking about Xiao San, say something." Chen Feng was getting a little numb.

If this matter isn't clarified today, his reputation will be ruined.

Tang San also felt the need to explain, so he said:

"We weren't hugging just now; you guys just happened to walk in when Xiao Feng was hugging me."

Chen Feng clutched his head in pain, "You might as well not have explained at all."

Ning Rongrong nodded, feeling that she understood.

"So you two didn't hug at first, but then you ended up hugging while you were chatting?"

Tang San felt there was nothing wrong with this statement, so he nodded and said:

"Right"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

"That's totally wrong!" Chen Feng quickly denied, trying to stop the misunderstanding from escalating further.

"Here's what happened: we were just talking about the future, and we said some rather touching things, so I hugged him to show my brotherly affection. Do you understand what I mean by that?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San, then at Chen Feng, and said:

"I see."

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"So things aren't what you think. It was just a coincidence. You understand?"

The four girls nodded simultaneously and responded in unison, "We understand."

"That's good. Did you come here to have dinner with us?"

"Yes." x4

"Okay, you guys go ahead, we'll come right away once we've packed our things." Chen Feng finally felt relieved.

The four girls closed the door and left. Chen Feng glanced at Tang San, who was still somewhat bewildered, and sighed helplessly.

Tang San then realized what was going on. "Did they misunderstand our relationship just now?"

He didn't think about it at first because he lived in a relatively closed-off era in his previous life, and his identity was just an outer disciple of the Tang Sect.

Although he was twenty-nine years old when he died, he didn't have much social experience or knowledge, so he wasn't as quick-witted as the well-informed Chen Feng, who was able to realize what the girls had misunderstood.

Only after the girls had all left did Tang San recall from their strange reactions some Nobles rumors he had vaguely heard in his previous life.

"There's not much we can do about this, we can only be more careful in the future, and we've already explained it clearly," Chen Feng said.

"That's true." Tang San nodded and continued arranging the daily necessities.

Chen Feng also took his luggage out of the Blood Sky Vault, and while putting away the things he would frequently use, he said:

"There's something else I need to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Do you remember that Bai Chenxiang is from the Speed Clan the Four Clans?"

Tang San thought for a moment and nodded. "I remember. What's wrong?"

"The Four Clans are subordinate to the Clear Sky Sect, while I have brought the Speed Clan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Chen Feng said.

Tang San paused, frowning as he said:

"I remember the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates. Are these Four Clans, as subordinates of the Clear Sky Sect, still outside?"

"Yes, that's how it was back then," Chen Feng began to explain the situation of the Four Clans to Tang San.

Tang San's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. After Chen Feng finished explaining, he said:

"The Four Clans have been struggling these past few years, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as a support sect, needs many talented people to protect it. So I suggested that Uncle Ning recruit them, and Uncle Tang Hao agreed to this."

"That's only right. The Clear Sky Sect has already abandoned them, so there's no need for them to persist for the Clear Sky Sect anymore. Besides, this matter has been approved by Father." Tang San's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

"But you don't seem to be in a very good mood," Chen Feng said.

"I was just thinking about something," Tang San said, looking at Chen Feng with a flat tone.

"Were my father and I abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, just like the other Four Clans?"

"You can't think like that, Xiao San," Chen Feng said, shaking his head. "From what I understand, the situation facing the Clear Sky Sect back then was already very critical, so the decision to close the mountain was understandable."

"I can understand, but I can't accept it, can I?" Tang San's voice was calm. "Of course I know they have their reasons, and their actions of seeking advantage and avoiding harm are understandable. But as someone directly involved, how can you expect me to calmly accept being abandoned by the sect? I'm afraid the Four Clans also have many grievances."

Chen Feng sighed softly and said:

"But we still don't know the details of the matter. Xiao San, I suggest you ask Uncle Tang Hao and find out the truth before making a judgment."

"Just like this misunderstanding today, some things may appear completely different in the eyes of the parties involved and outsiders."

Tang San was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"You're right, Xiao Feng. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so easily. I'll ask Dad about it when he gets here, and this time I'll get to the bottom of it."

"Yes, listening to both sides leads to clarity, while believing only one side leads to obscurity. This way, misunderstandings are less likely to occur. Let's go eat."

After arranging the things, Chen Feng opened the door and said...

"Let's go." Tang San followed in his footsteps.

Meanwhile, after leaving Chen Feng and his companion's dormitory, the four girls silently walked towards the Cafeteria.

As they walked, Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up:

"We have to find a way to separate Xiao Feng and Tang San."

"It can't be that bad," Xiao Wu said with a dry laugh. "I've lived with them since we were little, and I've never seen anything happen between them. It must be a misunderstanding. Xiao Feng just explained it."

"Have you lived together since you were little, sleeping in the same bed?" Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Wu with a sharp look.

"No, no, no," Xiao Wu quickly explained, "They share one bed, and I have my own."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance. "We must form an alliance to fight against the foreign enemy; we can't let Xiao Feng go down the wrong path."

"Agree."
