Abandoned by All

Although Gu Chen only needed a burst of Dragon Might to force Yu Tianheng out of Martial Soul Possession, he had not come to the Great Soul Arena merely to go through the motions. He was here to hone his combat abilities.

Second Spirit Ability—Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth!

Gu Chen appeared before Yu Tianheng, blocking his path toward Gu Yuena. At the same time, he unleashed his spirit ability and stomped down hard.

Eight golden dragons formed from Soul Power appeared and slammed fiercely toward Yu Tianheng.

Even though Gu Chen had used only a third of Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth's power, the Soul Power dragons still sent Yu Tianheng flying to the edge of the arena. Blood seeped from the corner of Yu Tianheng's mouth.

Third Spirit Ability—Golden Dragon Soars!

After knocking Yu Tianheng away, Gu Chen unfurled a pair of golden dragon wings behind him and soared into the air, diving toward Dugu Yan.

Although Yu Tianheng had not been knocked out of the arena, there was no way he could reach Dugu Yan before Gu Chen. To protect her from harm, he spoke bitterly. "Referee, we concede."

Gu Chen curled his lip, feeling dissatisfied. He had wanted to sharpen his fighting abilities, yet his opponents could not even withstand a single move.

After finishing the match, Gu Chen and Gu Yuena left the two-on-two Soul Arena together. The others from Shrek Academy had also finished their battles.

Flender had already left, and after saying a few words, Ma Hongjun went off to look for him.

As the seven of them walked out of the Soul Arena, they could still hear waves of cheers rising and falling behind them.

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena followed Dai Mubai and the others back to the academy. Along the way, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had an argument.

When they reached the academy gates, Ning Rongrong sat atop a large rock by the entrance, swinging her legs with a thoughtful look on her face.

Oscar, meanwhile, looked rather unpleasant. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he occasionally glanced at Ning Rongrong, his eyes revealing a hint of unwillingness.

As if she had not seen either of them, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight into the academy and headed for her dormitory without looking back.

Dai Mubai frowned, and the chill in his evil eyes deepened.

"What are you doing here?" Light flickered in Dai Mubai's evil eyes as he asked coldly.

Ning Rongrong jumped down from the rock. "Of course, I was waiting for you. Why did you come back so late? Where are the dean and Fatty?"

Dai Mubai replied coldly, "They had something to do. Have you made up your mind? Are you staying or leaving?"

Without hesitation, Ning Rongrong said, "Of course I'm staying. How could I just leave such a fun place? What kind of expression is that? Are you a zombie? Did Zhuqing shut you down? Hahaha, and Oscar said you were some kind of love expert. You can't even handle a little girl."

With her true nature unleashed, Ning Rongrong no longer bothered to hide anything. She had been exceptionally clever since childhood, and she could read much from Dai Mubai's expression. Without the slightest restraint, she began mocking him.

A fierce glint filled Dai Mubai's evil eyes. "Ning Rongrong, don't test my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Others may fear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I, Dai Mubai, do not. If you anger me, be careful that I don't rape you, kill you, then rape you again and kill you again."

Ning Rongrong giggled. "I'm so scared!" She deliberately thrust out her chest. "What can you do to me?"

"You..." Dai Mubai could no longer suppress his rage. If the White Tiger does not show its might, does she really think I'm a sickly cat? A powerful aura suddenly surged forth, and his Soul Power erupted instantly. Ning Rongrong was nearly sent flying in an instant.

Oscar hurried forward and caught Ning Rongrong, but the force knocked him onto the ground on his backside.

Seeing this, Gu Chen had no intention of intervening. Dai Mubai's words were indeed disgusting, but Ning Rongrong had brought this upon herself.

"Mubai." Tang San took a step forward and stood before Ning Rongrong. Spreading his hands to either side, he used the Control Crane Capture Dragon Skill to redirect Dai Mubai's released Soul Power away from them. "We're all classmates. Let it go."

Although Dai Mubai had merely released his Soul Power and had not launched an attack, it still caused Tang San's already injured body to churn with surging blood and energy.

When had Ning Rongrong ever suffered such humiliation in her life? She had not expected Dai Mubai to truly dare lay a hand on her. Though she had not been seriously injured, the pain throughout her body told her that it had all been real. Tears welled in her eyes as she glared fiercely at Dai Mubai, unable to speak.

Dai Mubai looked at Tang San standing in front of him and slowly exhaled. The Soul Power flaring around him withdrew. "Fine, Little San, I'll do you this favor." His evil eyes shot Ning Rongrong a cold glance. "Remember this. This is not your home. Don't provoke me again, or I won't care who you are."

With that, he strode into the academy.

"Gu Chen!" Ning Rongrong wiped away the tears in her eyes and suddenly called out his name.

Gu Chen looked at her coldly.

Ning Rongrong said viciously, "Help me kill him. Use the power that can contend with a Soul Sage to kill him. If you do, you'll become an honored guest of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from now on. I'll give you money—ten thousand gold soul coins. How about it? And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will support you unconditionally from now on."

If an ordinary Soul Master had been standing here, they would have been overjoyed. The support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect carried immense significance. As one of the Seven Great Sects of the present age, the power possessed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was beyond imagination. With their support, any Soul Master could rise to prominence on the Douluo Continent.

But Gu Chen was different. Leaving aside the fact that he had no shortage of money, with his strength, what faction would not want to recruit him?

"What skincare products do you use? Your face is incredibly thick!" Gu Chen sneered, then walked into the academy without looking back.

"You!" Ning Rongrong was left speechless.

"Sister Na'er!" Ning Rongrong called unwillingly. "Can you help me?"

Gu Yuena turned her head, her eyes filled with icy coldness. "No." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena turned back and entered the academy with Gu Chen.

Tears flowed from Ning Rongrong's eyes again. Because Gu Chen and Gu Yuena had intervened during the entrance examination, she did not know that Tang San possessed hidden weapons. She turned toward Oscar. "Oscar, are you willing to help me?"

A trace of faint disappointment appeared in Oscar's peach blossom eyes. "When I first saw you, you took my breath away. I believed that when you grew up, you would definitely become a peerless beauty. And the gentleness you showed then was exactly what I liked most. So I decided that I would pursue you no matter what, even if I came from a common family while you were a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I didn't care. But I discovered that I was wrong. And very wrong."

"Wrong? Why?" Ning Rongrong looked at him in confusion.

Oscar smiled faintly. "Because you're not the type I like. You're not the one tree that could make me give up an entire forest. I'm not worthy of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if I were willing to help you, so what? What do you take me for? Nothing more than your servant. Sorry, I'd rather be myself. I'm sure there are plenty of people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect willing to help you. You don't need one more like me."

He had already thought it through. Before Gu Chen and the others returned, Oscar had deeply realized the flaws in Ning Rongrong's character. Although they were all still teenagers, Oscar had already had more than one girlfriend. Including Tang San, none of the newly arrived students knew that aside from his special Martial Soul, Oscar's mind was what made him even more formidable.

How would a smart person choose when they knew something could not be done? Charge ahead despite the odds? No, he was not that stubborn. Sometimes, giving up was the best choice.

Seeing Oscar also walk toward the academy, Ning Rongrong shouted unwillingly, "Don't you like me? Even you aren't willing to support me?"

Oscar stopped, but he did not turn around. "If you still have this mindset and personality, leave this place. It truly isn't suitable for you. And if you remain like this, the word 'friend' will forever be beyond your reach."

As everyone left, the cold moonlight fell upon Ning Rongrong, making her look exceptionally lonely and desolate.
