Dai Mubai had just brought him over and briefly explained what had happened. Shao Xin had originally felt that Ma Hongjun deserved it. He was only treating him because he was Flender's disciple; otherwise, he would not have cared who lived or died!
Flender's face instantly darkened, black lines filling his forehead. This brat!
"Flender, your disciple isn't cutting it. What a waste of such an excellent top-tier martial soul. He's already twelve, yet his Soul Power is only at Level Twenty-Seven—not even as good as that little girl from the Zhu Family. You need to discipline him properly, or he'll definitely fall behind everyone else later on."
Yu Xiaogang said calmly.
Flender was Ma Hongjun's teacher. If Flender personally trained him, the results would definitely be far better than anything Yu Xiaogang could achieve.
Flender nodded helplessly. Ma Hongjun truly had become lazy; his progress over the past half year had not even matched Dai Mubai's!
"Little Gang, take Tang San back with you. I'll go find out where that damn fatty has run off to fool around!"
Yu Xiaogang's office.
Yu Xiaogang paced back and forth before stopping in front of Tang San. He said sternly, "Little San, did you just have the thought of cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Tang San had not expected his thoughts to be seen through. He could only nod and admit it.
Yu Xiaogang sighed helplessly and told Tang San that he absolutely had to restrain himself.
"Little San, don't look at how quickly Xiao Tian is progressing right now. Even if Sword Intent can accelerate cultivation, there is still a limit. The further Sword Intent progresses, the harder it becomes to advance. When that time comes, the cultivation speed granted by his Innate Level Five will definitely be inferior to yours. What you need to do now is cultivate diligently and raise your Soul Power as much as possible!"
"But Teacher, look at Xiao Tian. Every so often, he comprehends a new Self-Created Soul Skill. Do you think I should also spend some time trying it?"
"No!"
Yu Xiaogang directly shot down Tang San's idea!
Then he earnestly persuaded him, "Little San, do you think Xiao Tian's Self-Created Soul Skills are very powerful?"
Tang San said, "Yes."
Yu Xiaogang said, "That's because Xiao Tian's Sword Intent is far stronger than his current realm, which gives you the illusion that Self-Created Soul Skills are stronger than Soul Skills granted by Soul Rings. But that isn't actually the case. Most of Xiao Tian's Self-Created Soul Skills are tied to Sword Qi and Sword Intent, while you are different.
"Your Blue Silver Grass follows the Poison Control route. The most crucial aspects are the toxicity and toughness of the Blue Silver Grass, and both attributes are based on the strength of your own Soul Power. That is why you need to focus even more on increasing your Soul Power!"
After Yu Xiaogang's repeated guidance, Tang San finally calmed down and pondered to himself.
It seems the paths of the Clear Sky Hammer and Self-Created Soul Skills won't work. I'd better focus on raising my Soul Power instead.
That evening.
For once, Xiao Tian did not cultivate his Soul Power. Instead, he examined the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" in his mind, preparing to study it.
Tang San and Oscar were both unusually quiet in their dormitory, silently cultivating.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's dormitory was much more interesting. Ma Hongjun's face was bruised and swollen all over; clearly, he had taken quite a beating.
"Hahaha, damn fatty, who told you not to join training after your injuries healed?"
Dai Mubai's previously gloomy mood immediately brightened.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's obvious desire to get close to Xiao Tian today had made him feel terribly annoyed. Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée—how could she be so intimate with someone she had only met a few days ago?
And if he remembered correctly, Xiao Tian and the others had been nearby on the day he first met Zhu Zhuqing.
Then there was the way Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Zhuqing. It immediately made Dai Mubai feel a sense of crisis. Could Xiao Tian possibly have designs on Zhu Zhuqing?
The more he thought about it, the more Dai Mubai felt as if a vast green prairie had appeared above his head.
"Didn't I have a fracture? Even if Teacher Shao Xin's Sugar Beans healed me, I still needed some time to recuperate, didn't I?"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his chubby little face, looking thoroughly depressed.
"So you went to a brothel to recuperate?" Dai Mubai asked.
"Uh... cough, cough. Boss Dai, you know me. Cuihua has broken up with me, and after what happened today, I don't dare go looking for her again. I could only go to a brothel to let off some steam. It's all my martial soul's fault!"
After Dai Mubai exposed him, Ma Hongjun felt a little awkward. But with his thick skin, he directly blamed it all on the evil fire.
Dai Mubai glared at him. Was that evil fire? That was lust!
Although the Evil Fire Phoenix had the flaw of giving its Soul Master evil fire, it would not flare up all the time. This damn fatty needed it at least once a day. No wonder Cuihua had broken up with him.
With such frequent two-person exercise, how could Cuihua, just an ordinary commoner, possibly endure it?
"I'm warning you: lately, you'd better put away those little thoughts of yours. Among the academy's students, aside from that young miss Ning Rongrong, your strength is the lowest!"
Ma Hongjun argued, "How is that possible? No matter how weak I am, I can't be weaker than Zhu Zhuqing!"
Dai Mubai shook his head without saying anything. That was not necessarily true. Unless Ma Hongjun could make use of the Evil Fire Phoenix's aerial advantage—but so far, his phoenix could not even fly!
Compared to the calm boys' dormitory, the girls' dormitory was far livelier.
Xiao Wu was currently in Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory as well.
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with curiosity and asked sweetly, "Zhu Qing, just tell me how you take care of yourself, okay? I want to be like you too..."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong pointed at Zhu Zhuqing's chest with one finger.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head shyly to look. Unfortunately, her view was completely blocked by her ample chest, and she could not see her toes at all...
The people who will attend Blue Tyrant are:
1. Everyone goes to Blue Tyrant.
2. The protagonist and the three beauties go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while the Tang San Four Rascals go to Blue Tyrant.
Three Birds with One Arrow, Ning Rongrong's Outburst
Zhu Zhuqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "It should be related to my martial soul. In my family, women with the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul tend to develop quite well."
Zhu Zhuqing paused slightly, then looked at the disappointed Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. She comforted them, "It's okay, Rong Rong, Xiao Wu. You're still young. I suppose I developed early. In a few more years, you'll definitely have it too..."
"Ah, I guess that's the only way..."
Ning Rongrong's hopes were completely dashed.
At that moment, Xiao Wu said, "Rong Rong, how about eating papaya and drinking milk with me every day? Maybe it will help a little?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu with bright eyes. "Really? Xiao Wu, are you saying you became like this because of papaya and milk?"
Xiao Wu hesitated a little, but still nodded. "I think it has some effect. I've been eating them for six years now, basically every day."
As if making up her mind about something, Ning Rongrong nodded as well.
What girl could resist the temptation of a good figure, especially with two examples right beside her?
The next morning.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the students, all of whom had arrived, and felt very satisfied.
"Very good. Everyone is here today."
Then Yu Xiaogang's expression turned serious. "Now, let's talk about it. Although yesterday's training ended halfway through, it revealed that your problems are very serious!"
Dai Mubai and the others felt their hearts sink. What was this Master trying to pull?
A strange smile also crept onto Flender's lips.
Xiao Tian frowned. What nonsense was this old bastard trying to stir up again? The situation felt strangely familiar. Could it be...
"First, Xiao Tian disregarded the bonds between classmates and struck too heavily! Second, Tang San lacks overall awareness and failed to protect his two Support System teammates. Third, Oscar and Ning Rongrong, although you are Support System Soul Masters, when facing Xiao Tian's attack, could you only stand there and watch? You cannot merely rely on your teammates' protection; you need some ability to protect yourselves as well! Fourth, Ma Hongjun failed to immediately return to the team after his injuries healed, showing a lack of team awareness. Fifth..."
Yu Xiaogang spared no one's feelings as he launched into a barrage of criticism against Xiao Tian and the others.
Seeing their expressions grow increasingly unpleasant, Flender cleared his throat. "Little Gang..."
"Master, aren't you going too far? Support System Soul Masters naturally have no ability to defend themselves. And Xiao Tian is so strong that even Tang San isn't his match, much less me!"
Oscar echoed, "That's right, Master. No matter how much we Support System Soul Masters train, we can't possibly evade the attacks of other offensive Soul Masters!"
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. "What I say goes! If you maintain this attitude on a battlefield, then you will certainly die!"
Oscar fell silent.
Ning Rongrong felt the negative emotions in her heart reaching their limit!
Back in her sect, neither her father nor her two grandfathers had ever been willing to scold her. What gave Yu Xiaogang the right?
She had nearly exploded, but when she thought of Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, and the others, she swallowed her words.
Although they had known each other for only a short time, she had already gotten along extremely well with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. She also intended to recommend Xiao Tian to her sect, but she had not even sent the letter yet.
For their sake, Ning Rongrong swallowed the grievance she had suffered for the first time in her life.
Flender found this rather strange. The letter had said that Ning Rongrong had quite the young miss temper, which would be detrimental to her future relationships with others.
Ning Fengzhi had asked him to find an opportunity to temper Ning Rongrong, yet Ning Rongrong had not caused any trouble now?
How strange...
"Now, as punishment, I order you to run around the village twenty times while carrying weights! You are not allowed to use Soul Power. Anyone who disobeys need not remain at the academy!"
Yu Xiaogang put on an extremely stern expression.
"What?!"
Ning Rongrong truly could not hold it in any longer. Who ran such a long distance all at once? And without being allowed to use Soul Power?
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun's expressions also changed. Their village was not small. Running twenty laps in one go without Soul Power would take until at least the afternoon, and they were supposedly required to carry weights as well?
"Master, Headmaster, the distance around our village isn't short. Without using Soul Power, even us Assault System Soul Masters would struggle, much less Xiao Ao and Ning Rongrong," Dai Mubai said, waving his hand.
"If there isn't any difficulty, can it still be called punishment?"
Flender did not oppose Yu Xiaogang's plan.
Because he knew that this task was not too difficult for Dai Mubai and the other Assault and Control System Soul Masters. The main issue was Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Ning Rongrong would certainly be unable to hold back her temper; otherwise, she would sneak away halfway through. As for Oscar's character, Flender knew it well. No matter how lazy he normally was, he would still finish the task.
And with Oscar's cleverness, he should also understand that this was an excellent opportunity to win Ning Rongrong's favor.
This plan killed three birds with one stone. It could train them, temper Ning Rongrong's young miss temper, and create an opportunity for Oscar!
Perfect!
"You bastards! Yu Xiaogang, Flender! Do you know that even in my sect, my father never demanded this much from me?"
Ning Rongrong shouted at them. The refined air of a young miss vanished completely.
This change surprised both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Tian had not spoken since earlier because he knew the time was not right yet.
Although he disdained Flender's behavior somewhat, he had to admit that Ning Rongrong's young miss temper did need to be restrained.
It was not that she could not have one, but some of her ideas had to change.
For example, Ning Rongrong believed that Support System Soul Masters were the most important and that all other Soul Masters had to protect her. This was probably influenced by how Ning Fengzhi had always had two Titled Douluo protecting him while she was growing up.
That mindset had to change. Ning Rongrong in the original story had rather low emotional intelligence in this regard.
Support System Soul Masters did need protection, but you could not say it in a commanding tone. That would make people very resentful. However, she was used to being a young miss, which was why she had developed this habit. It had to be changed.
Second, Ning Rongrong believed her sect was extremely powerful, so whenever she encountered problems, she sometimes spoke without thinking. She would only bring up her sect, exposing herself to danger. That was unacceptable too!
Honestly speaking, Ning Rongrong had the highest intelligence among the three girls, but she sometimes just loved causing trouble!
In the original story, even when Dai Mubai threatened her like that, she still insisted on standing up to him. She was only a Support System Soul Master! Where did she get the courage to confront Dai Mubai like that—Liang Jingru?!
Using a Feather as an Imperial Edict, the Spoiled Young Miss
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong truly was powerful, but Xiao Tian felt that Ning Rongrong's behavior in the original story was simply courting death!
A Support System Soul Master like her provoked Dai Mubai like that. If Dai Mubai truly stopped caring about living and secretly violated and killed her, Ning Rongrong would have nowhere to air her grievances.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi had even granted Flender special authority, and Flender was using a feather as an imperial edict.
