Chapter 22

Meanwhile, Chen Xin raced madly onward and finally arrived at Shrek Academy.

But the sight before him made his eyes blaze with fury, and he even hurled the Seven Kill Sword straight down.

Chapter 20: Grandpa Jian, That Person Is Tang San

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Although a small accident had occurred during enrollment a few days ago, Flender had already taken care of it.

During that earth-shattering explosion, he had personally witnessed Tang Hao leave while injured.

Afterward, Flender had gone in and searched several more times, yet he still could not find Tang Dongfeng.

A peerless genius had died just like that at the hands of a Titled Douluo, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Flender felt deeply regretful.

However, Shrek Academy still had Tang San, a ticking time bomb, within its walls.

If Tang San had not been Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Flender would have taken the others and sought another way out long ago.

When one was under another's roof, one had no choice but to bow one's head.

Although they had lost a monster like Tang Dongfeng, Shrek Academy still had many little monsters.

On the first day of school, following the original plan, he had Ning Rongrong and Oscar run twenty laps first.

Just as in the original story, Ning Rongrong secretly went to Suotuo City to eat and drink to her heart's content.

When she returned and faced Flender's questioning, her young lady's temper flared up again.

After Flender gave her a thorough dressing-down, she went off by herself to cry in a corner.

Even Oscar, who liked her, was unwilling to be friends with her.

On the first day of school, Flender led everyone to the Great Soul Arena for practical combat training.

After reflecting on herself, Ning Rongrong decided to put aside her young lady's airs and become friends with them.

She had always held herself above others because everyone at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had indulged her.

Even Tang Dongfeng, whom she had once looked down on, had agreed not to tell Xue Qinghe where she had gone, hadn't he?

If Ning Rongrong had known that Tang Dongfeng had been calling her an idiot at the time, she probably would not have thought that way.

That night, Ning Rongrong deliberately waited at the entrance of Shrek Academy for the others to return.

If Ning Rongrong wanted to fit into this group, she first had to learn to lower herself.

And that was exactly what she did.

Unfortunately, the first person to return that day was Dai Mubai.

A cowardly tiger who had thrown a tantrum because Zhu Zhuqing despised him.

Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul had a problem, so he often went to brothels to save his life.

Though Ma Hongjun might have enjoyed it somewhat as well.

But what was with you, Dai Mubai?

You spent every day drinking and chasing pleasure, and you played around even more than Ma Hongjun.

How could you possibly have the nerve to expect Zhu Zhuqing to treat you gently?

Ever since you abandoned Zhu Zhuqing in the Star Luo Empire, became a deserter, and came to Shrek Academy—

Had you ever considered that she, a young girl, had to face her sister's pursuit alone, with death lurking at every turn?

She had thought that by coming to Shrek Academy, she would see a hardworking and ambitious fiancé.

But in truth, Dai Mubai was nothing more than a hopeless wastrel, utterly repulsive.

Outside Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong stood with her hands behind her back, looking adorable.

She wanted to change the image her companions had of her, so she deliberately put on a different demeanor and lowered her stance.

Unfortunately, fate did not favor her. Even her cute appearance had a day when it failed.

"Ning Rongrong, don't test my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home!"

Dai Mubai was already full of anger, and when he encountered Ning Rongrong blocking his path, he immediately vented it on her.

Oscar, standing nearby, could not get a word in at all.

He was merely a Support Soul Master with neither status nor combat strength.

"Oh? You got humiliated yourself, and now you won't even let others mention it? You can't even handle a little girl. Useless."

Honestly, Ning Rongrong really deserved a beating, and she truly looked down on Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was always chasing women, yet the moment Zhu Zhuqing arrived, he wanted to play the role of a devoted lover. It was disgusting to watch.

"I'm warning you. Other people may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I don't."

Dai Mubai said viciously.

Either way, he was doomed. Among the Star Luo Empire Heirs, it had always been a fight to the death.

Either he and Zhu Zhuqing died, or his elder brother and Zhu Zhuqing's sister died.

Dai Mubai had been born relatively late. Though his talent was high, his strength still could not catch up to his brother, who was several years older.

If he and Zhu Zhuqing could not win the Continental Soul Master Elite Tournament, then death was their only path.

Clearly, their chances of winning were practically nonexistent.

As the saying went, those with nothing to lose feared nothing. What did Dai Mubai have to fear?

"If you piss me off, do you believe I'll strip you naked, rape you first, then kill you?"

Dai Mubai's eyes burned with fury, and he had even begun to lose his mind.

He hated Zhu Zhuqing's indifferent attitude, and he also hated Ning Rongrong's lofty, superior manner.

Knowing that death awaited him, what was there that Dai Mubai would not dare to do?

Besides, it was only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was powerful, but it still had to rely on the Heaven Dou Empire.

If Spirit Hall had not intervened, their Star Luo Empire, with its powerful army, would have unified the continent long ago.

Moreover, standing behind the Star Luo Empire was the number one sect in the world—the Clear Sky Sect.

The person who had saved Tang San had used the Clear Sky Hammer. From the very beginning, Dai Mubai and Tang San had stood in the same camp.

As for Oscar, what could a Support Soul Master with no combat ability use to protect Ning Rongrong?

"Fine... Shrek Academy!"

However, Sword Douluo, who had been hiding in the shadows to see whom Ning Rongrong was waiting for, could no longer suppress his rage. The Seven Kill Sword came crashing down.

It happened to block Dai Mubai, who was walking toward Ning Rongrong.

"Grandpa Jian."

The moment Ning Rongrong saw the Seven Kill Sword, she burst into tears of grievance. She had never suffered such humiliation before.

She had clearly already lowered her stance and merely teased Dai Mubai once.

Yet this ungentlemanly man had cursed at her viciously and even wanted to kill her.

Ning Rongrong, who had never feared heaven or earth, would not be afraid of this sickly cat.

But in that moment just now, she had truly felt that Dai Mubai wanted to kill her.

"Rongrong, don't cry. Grandpa Jian is here. No one can bully you."

Sword Douluo held Ning Rongrong in his arms and patted her back. This child had suffered these past few days.

Not only had she run alone from Heaven Dou City to Suotuo City, but she had also encountered this murderous classmate before her.

"Are you Tang San?"

Sword Douluo shielded Ning Rongrong behind him, and the sword intent around his body instantly blanketed the surroundings.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings—nine in total—descended beneath his feet.

If you acted arrogantly toward those from the Assault System, Agility System, Control System, or Defense System, Chen Xin could not be bothered to interfere.

If you were dissatisfied, then fight directly. If you lost, it only meant you had not worked hard enough or lacked talent.

But damn it, what kind of skill was it to bully a support-type Soul Master?

Even if Ning Rongrong had been in the wrong, it did not warrant all this talk of killing her.

Could it really be as Tang Dongfeng had said—that this Tang San wanted to kill people at the slightest disagreement?

Ning Rongrong might have had a young lady's temper, but her nature was not bad.

But you wanted to kill people at the drop of a hat, and even damn well wanted to rape them before killing them. Was that something a human could do?

"Grandpa Jian, that person is Tang San. He's Dai Mubai."

Ning Rongrong pointed at Tang San beside them, whose looks and strength were both utterly ordinary.

After seeing Tang Dongfeng, as a Great Soul Master, severely injure the Soul Saint Zhao Wuji, she naturally did not think much of Tang San.

But how had Grandpa Jian known that she had run off to Shrek Academy?

And Grandpa Jian had even mistaken Dai Mubai for Tang San.

This was ridiculous!

"This junior Tang San greets Sword Douluo, Your Excellency."

Tang San took the initiative to offer his respects.

Beside him, Xiao Wu tightly clutched Tang San's clothes, hiding behind him and trembling.
