Ning Rongrong Was Bullied

After the solo challenge matches came the two-person team matches.

The first round was Tang San and Xiao Wu's Three-Five Combination.

Their opponents were the Iron Blood Combination.

They were two power-type Soul Masters whose martial souls were hammers.

Xiao Wu's opponent in the solo match had also been a power-type Soul Master.

Now that she was facing power-type Soul Masters again, she could not help complaining.

The Dragon Tiger Brothers of the Iron Blood Combination did not underestimate Tang San and Xiao Wu because of their young age.

They opened by unleashing their strongest moves and attacking with everything they had.

Tang San decisively released his Blue Silver Grass. His first Spirit Ability had little effect, as the tough-skinned power-type Soul Masters smashed through the cage formed by the Blue Silver Grass.

After that, the Iron Blood Combination unleashed their finishing move, throwing their martial soul hammers.

Tang San caught the Iron Blood Combination's finishing move with his hands, then used his second Spirit Ability and concealed weapons to force the enemy to defend.

In the end, he won the two-person team match, securing a strong start to the night.

The thrilling and exciting Soul Master matches were truly an eye-opener for audiences across the continent.

Places like the Great Soul Arena were open to ordinary people as well, but attending cost money.

A person's living expenses for an entire year only required one or two Gold Soul Coins. Unless they had made a fortune, no one would spend money watching soul battles.

Now, the Sky Screen was showing future soul battles.

Xiao Wu's first match alone, as well as Tang San's battle against Zhu Zhuqing and the match between the Three-Five Combination and the Iron Blood Combination, were enough to draw attention.

Even Lin Xianyu felt eager to give it a try, but when she looked at her slender arms and legs, as well as her Blue Silver Grass martial soul, which Soul Masters across the continent universally regarded as useless, she immediately gave up on the idea of going to the Soul Arena to grind for Gold Soul Coins.

It could not be helped. Although she was strong now and was nearly a Soul Grandmaster, she had very little combat experience.

Besides, she was not following a combat-oriented path.

As a pure support, her specialty was staying out of fights and living longer.

Lin Xianyu felt that as long as she did not cause trouble and stayed home in Holy Spirit Village, trouble would not come looking for her.

However, though the tree wished for calm, the wind would not cease. Trouble always came knocking.

After Tang San and Xiao Wu won, they went to register their victory points before meeting up with their companions.

Their matches had just happened to end as well.

Everyone gathered together.

Tang San's sharp eyes noticed that Flender was missing, and he asked curiously, "Where is the headmaster?"

Dai Mubai answered, "Something came up at the headmaster's shop, so he went back first. He also asked me to tell everyone to return to the academy once their matches are over."

A lecherous grin appeared on Ma Hongjun's face. "Boss Dai, you know me. I won't be returning to the academy tonight."

"Get lost." Dai Mubai shot Ma Hongjun a disgusted glare and replied irritably.

"Oh, Boss Dai, how come you've changed? Don't you remember how we used to go together?" Ma Hongjun really knew how to bring up the worst possible subject.

He could tell that Dai Mubai intended to turn over a new leaf.

But he thought Dai Mubai was merely putting on an act.

Dai Mubai could not possibly keep it up.

So he tested Dai Mubai now.

The result was completely different from what he had expected.

Dai Mubai cautiously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then swiftly drove Ma Hongjun away.

He could not let Ma Hongjun keep talking.

Otherwise, the more mud got thrown at him, the harder it would be to clear his name.

Though his name could not be cleared anyway, he could at least cultivate the image of a prodigal son returning to the right path.

Zhu Zhuqing did not even glance at Dai Mubai. Her expression remained ice-cold, and after Ma Hongjun left, she headed straight for the academy.

When Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing leave, he hurried after her.

Xiao Wu and Tang San exchanged looks, completely unable to understand what was going on. Since they were in no hurry to return, they strolled along at the back.

By the time they returned to the village where Shrek Academy was located,

Zhu Zhuqing had long since disappeared, likely having returned to the girls' dormitory.

Dai Mubai, however, was arguing with Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong had mainly mocked Dai Mubai, enraging him so badly that he directly attacked her.

Holy Spirit Village.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xianyu could not help laughing. "He's really bold. He even dared bully the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She had run wild in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, relying entirely on her father, the sect master, and the affection of the Sword and Bone Title Douluo.

That was why she had earned the nickname "Little Demoness."

Ning Rongrong running away from home had also been part of Ning Fengzhi's plan.

He doted on his daughter and could not bear to discipline her, so he could only let outsiders teach her a lesson.

To ensure Ning Rongrong could safely arrive at Shrek Academy, there should have been quite a few guards around her.

Yet when they saw their young mistress being bullied, they did nothing.

Had Ning Rongrong been left without guards after arriving at Shrek Academy, or did they think it was merely a harmless conflict between children?

Lin Xianyu was rather curious.

Perhaps decades from now, she could ask about it.

Uh, though she might not be able to get any answers.

Because the future had already changed.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi slapped the table, his face pale with anger. "Very well, Star Luo Imperial Family, is it? This is how you bully my daughter? Do you take me for a lump of clay with no temper?"

Seeing her beloved in a rage, Madam Ning desperately wanted to complain inwardly, but she could not show it. She could only comfort him aloud. "All right, Fengzhi. None of that has happened yet. Don't be angry."

After being comforted by his beloved, Ning Fengzhi calmed down somewhat.

But he had ultimately formed an unfavorable opinion of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

He was merely a coward fleeing from the imperial succession, yet after learning that his daughter belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he still dared bully her. He truly had audacity beyond measure!

It was only because Dai Mubai had not yet been born into the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi would have already gone to the Star Luo Imperial Family to demand an explanation.

Dai Mubai developed murderous intent and prepared to ignore Ning Rongrong's identity and kill her.

Seeing this, Tang San stopped Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai spared Ning Rongrong out of consideration for Tang San, or perhaps because he had considered the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He deliberately found himself an excuse to back down.

Yet Ning Rongrong was dissatisfied by Dai Mubai letting her go.

Her young lady temper flared up.

She directly approached Tang San with a deal, asking him to kill Dai Mubai.

Naturally, Tang San would not agree to Ning Rongrong's request. After warning her a few times, he pulled Xiao Wu back to the dormitory.

Unfortunately, now that they were older, they could no longer continue living in the same dormitory room.

Oscar helped Ning Rongrong to her feet and planned to escort her back to the girls' dormitory.

Ning Rongrong asked Oscar for help as well.

Oscar was utterly speechless. As a Support System Soul Master, there was no way he could defeat an assault-type Soul Master like Dai Mubai.

Besides, Ning Rongrong's words had gone too far.

Oscar patiently comforted Ning Rongrong, hoping this young lady would come to her senses. Otherwise, she would not be able to remain at Shrek Academy.
