'Listless' and 'Short and Weak'

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the other four were completely stunned by Tang San's words.

Tang San was actually speaking up for Sun Sheng.

Wasn't this boosting the morale of others while diminishing their own prestige?

"Tang San, even though you're annoying, I do like your straightforward nature. You call a spade a spade."

"So you're the Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji. Thanks for the recognition, old man."

"But sadly, I'm disappointed in your Shrek Academy. You don't have the ability to teach me."

Sun Sheng laughed and resolutely rejected Zhao Wuji's kind invitation. He waved his hand, turned, and left.

If he didn't hurry after her, his Meng Yiran would get too far away.

"Ah, what a pity!"

Zhao Wuji sighed as he watched Sun Sheng's departing figure.

If it were anyone else, Zhao Wuji would have taught them a lesson for badmouthing Shrek Academy.

But in the face of Sun Sheng's astonishing talent, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, the guy had the right to be arrogant.

"Teacher Zhao, why? Why did you do that just now?"

In Dai Mubai's eyes, Zhao Wuji had always been an indomitable powerhouse.

But Zhao Wuji's invitation had refreshed Dai Mubai's understanding of him.

"Yeah, Teacher Zhao, why did you extend an invitation to him?"

"That kid's too arrogant, daring to slander even our Shrek Academy."

"That's right, that's right. Someone like that isn't worthy of coming to our Shrek Academy."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun spoke in tacit agreement.

"You three brats, what do you know? If any of you had half his talent, I wouldn't care what you said."

"He's arrogant because he has the right to be arrogant. You're arrogant because you're asking for a beating, full of yourselves."

"I'd be thrilled if you could be arrogant in front of me someday, it would give me some face."

Zhao Wuji knocked Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun on the back of the head.

"Tang San, hurry up and fuse with the Soul Ring, there's not much time left."

Then he looked at the Soul Ring above the Man-faced Demon Spider's corpse and urged him.

If they dragged it out any longer, Tang San would miss the best opportunity to absorb the Man-faced Demon Spider Soul Ring.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression, walked straight to the Man-faced Demon Spider's corpse, took a deep breath, and immediately sat down cross-legged, adjusting his state, preparing to absorb this thousand-year Soul Ring that exceeded the limit of an ordinary Soul Master's third Soul Ring.

"Teacher Zhao is right. Although Sun Sheng is annoying, he lives very authentically. He acts according to his personality."

"Unlike some people, who just talk the talk, 'listless and weak,' without any actual action."

At this time, Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke, deliberately glancing at Oscar.

It seemed that her words had a hidden meaning, intentionally said for him to hear.

"Heh, some people are just good at pretending, 'short and powerless.'"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who rarely spoke, also glanced at Dai Mubai, seemingly saying it for him to hear as well.

"Rongrong, what do you mean by that? How come even you're siding with Sun Sheng?"

"My little cat, what are you saying? Who's good at pretending? Who's short and powerless..."

Oscar and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance, forcing a wry smile.

The two of them knew that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were subtly referring to them.

"Damn, what's going on?"

"Why are Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhuqing all speaking up for Sun Sheng?"

"Wasn't Sun Sheng teasing them before?"

"This change is too big!"

Ma Hongjun, seeing that the three women had all changed their views on Sun Sheng, muttered to himself, his face full of incomprehension.

He didn't understand why such a change had occurred.

"Xiao Jun, they're not speaking up for Sun Sheng, but rather being realistic."

"Although Sun Sheng is lecherous, arrogant, and annoying, he possesses a very precious quality. No matter who he faces, he hardly hides anything. He's a very genuine person."

"How many people can achieve such frank behavior?"

"In this regard, all of us are indeed inferior to him."

"Moreover, although Sun Sheng made some teasing remarks to Xiao Wu and the others, he didn't take any obvious practical actions."

"At most, he's just taking advantage with his words."

"Any ordinary man would show something when seeing Xiao Wu and the other two girls."

"Even you guys were the same. When you first saw them, didn't you have any other thoughts?"

"It's just that many people are good at hiding and pretending, wanting to show only their best side, deliberately concealing their flaws."

"Xiao Jun, when judging people, remember that sometimes the people you dislike aren't necessarily bad people. And sometimes, those who seem like righteous gentlemen might actually be despicable villains."

Zhao Wuji patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, speaking with profound meaning.

He had been in Douluo Continent for decades and had seen all kinds of people.

He had a unique insight when it came to recognizing people.

"Teacher Zhao, now that you mention it, I think I understand a little."

After hearing Zhao Wuji's words, a gleam of light shot out from Ma Hongjun's eyes, as if he had realized something.

"Mm, it's good that you understand."

Zhao Wuji nodded, gazing into the distance with a complicated expression.

Actually, he quite liked Sun Sheng's personality.

At the very least, he was genuine and hardly tried to hide anything, which was many times better than those so-called 'righteous gentlemen'.

Ding! Progress for conquering Zhu Zhuqing: 10%.

Ding! Progress for conquering Ning Rongrong: 10%.

Sun Sheng, who was frantically chasing after Meng Yiran and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, was suddenly startled by the notification sound in his mind.

What just happened?

Could it be that his charm had already attracted the attention of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong?

Good heavens!

Not bad!

Looks like he's taken the first step!

Hope!

Great hope!

Sun Sheng was overjoyed when he saw the 10% progress, as if he could already see the scene of completely capturing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Mm!

Just thinking about it makes him happy.

Then, he thought of Meng Yiran's fiery figure!

He sped up again.

Finally, he caught up.

"Wait up, you three!"

After Sun Sheng caught up with Meng Yiran and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, he immediately shouted.

Hearing the shout, Dragon Lord suddenly turned around, his expression cold and devoid of any goodwill.

He was already in a bad mood and just wanted to vent his anger on someone.

And here someone was, walking right into it.

But when he saw that it was Sun Sheng, a glint flashed in his eyes, his face changed, and it was filled with smiles.

This kid was a genius.

Even Tang San wasn't his match.

If he could recruit this person, the family would prosper.

For the sake of the family's prosperity, he ultimately glanced at Meng Yiran.

Perhaps he could use his granddaughter's beauty to recruit him as an live-in son-in-law.

"This must be Senior Dragon Lord, right? Junior Sun Sheng, I apologize for abruptly stopping you three, please forgive me." Sun Sheng cupped his fist and saluted.

"No problem, no problem, may I ask what business this young master has?" Dragon Lord asked with a smile.

His tone couldn't have been more amiable.

This was the treatment a genius received.
