A Titled Douluo?
Finding it unbelievable, Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, then exclaimed:
"Is that really true? Isn't reaching the level of a Titled Douluo far too difficult?"
"If an ordinary food-type martial soul became a Titled Douluo, it would probably be a first for the entire continent!"
Sitting opposite her, Dai Mubai could not help nodding slightly at her words.
He actually agreed wholeheartedly with what Ye Xingchen had said. After all, judging by what Dean Flender had meant, Oscar's martial soul would surely amaze everyone if he encountered the right opportunity.
As they ate, drank, and chatted, urgent knocking suddenly came from outside. Then the door slowly opened, and a figure quietly walked in.
"You guys really aren't being good friends! How could you have something delicious without inviting me?"
Somewhat bewildered, Tang San glanced at Oscar as he walked in, finding him a little unfamiliar. He teased him with a smile:
"Where's your beard? You finally brought yourself to shave it off? Now you don't look like a middle-aged man anymore!"
Oscar smiled, his face flushed red, then turned to look at everyone.
His gaze then settled on Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu.
Always fond of looking cool, he rubbed his chin, walked up to the table, and said:
"Cut the chatter. Why didn't you invite me to eat this time? And you didn't tell me we weren't training, either. I went to the training ground all by myself, and there wasn't a single other person there!"
Unconcerned, Dai Mubai shook his head. He folded his arms, glanced at Oscar, and teased:
"For someone who loves sleeping in as much as you do, isn't it perfectly normal that we didn't call you?"
"Since you're here, why don't you pay the bill? We've already had our fill!"
Oscar froze slightly at those words, thinking that his wallet was completely empty. Where would he get the gold coins to pay?
He glanced at Dai Mubai and joked with a smile:
"Stop kidding, Boss Dai. Where would I get the gold coins to pay? I came hoping to mooch some food and drink!"
Sitting beside Ye Xingchen, Ning Rongrong shook her head slightly, then tossed out a bag of gold coins and said with a smile:
"I've already paid the bill, so stop arguing over it. It's just one meal. Do you have to make it so awkward?"
Three hours later, at Shrek Academy.
Looking at the academy's shabby buildings, Ye Xingchen could not help raising the corners of his lips slightly.
This place looked exactly like the scenes he had once seen in the animated series on television. He had simply never expected to find himself here in person today, having transmigrated to this continent.
He looked back at Ning Rongrong, who was looking around, and teased:
"We're just out for a stroll, yet you keep looking this way and that. This place probably isn't as pretty as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is it?"
With a happy expression on her face, Ning Rongrong nodded and pointed at the surrounding buildings.
"Of course not. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a hundred, a thousand times prettier than this place. I was looking around, wondering whether I should spend some money decorating it!"
"After all, this is where I'll be studying from now on. If it's too shabby, people will look down on me!"
Ye Xingchen was left somewhat speechless by her words, thinking that even rich people shouldn't spend money like this. She really was a moneybags from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Just as he was about to take Ning Rongrong for another walk around the area, a woman's scream suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterward, a young woman ran toward them with a panicked expression, followed by a boy dressed in red.
The boy was fat, his face full of unruly defiance. He was none other than Ma Hongjun of the Shrek Seven Devils!
"What's wrong? Is some bad guy bullying you? Why are you so scared?"
Finding it somewhat strange, Ning Rongrong stopped the young woman and hurriedly asked:
"Is it that guy behind you? Don't be afraid. We're here. We'll protect you!"
The nervous young woman nodded, then hid behind Ning Rongrong. Watching Ma Hongjun follow her over, she began to worry.
"Who are you two? Why are you protecting her? If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
Hearing Ma Hongjun say that, Ye Xingchen could not help smiling slightly.
This fellow was kindhearted, yet he was always fond of bullying men and domineering over women.
Especially when it came to romance, he always seemed different from everyone else, like a square peg in a round hole.
"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you! How dare you ignore me? Haven't you heard of me?"
With his arms folded, Ma Hongjun slowly approached the two. Seeing them ignore him, a nameless fire instantly blazed up in his heart.
Especially after seeing Ye Xingchen's handsome appearance, he felt even more that his own looks were under threat.
"You fat bastard, what's so great about you? Bullying a woman here! Just watch me put you in your place today!"
With her hands on her hips, Ning Rongrong gave a light snort and berated Ma Hongjun without hesitation!
"Little lady, you're pretty good-looking. Want to be my girlfriend? Let's date!"
Unconcerned, Ma Hongjun smiled. With his arms folded, he glanced at Ning Rongrong and asked teasingly.
Hearing that, the young woman hiding behind Rongrong immediately warned her:
"There's something wrong with this guy's temper. Whatever you do, don't date him. He'll only bully you. That's why I broke up with him!"
Hearing the woman's words, Ning Rongrong nodded, then looked at Ma Hongjun and mocked:
"You want me to be your girlfriend? Why don't you take a piss and look at your reflection to see whether you're worthy!"
Unconcerned, Ma Hongjun smiled as he looked at Ye Xingchen, who stood in front of the two.
He immediately pushed off slightly with his heels and rushed forward. As he raised his hand, a burst of red soul power erupted!
"Whether I'm worthy? You'll see right now! First, I'll beat away this lackey in front of you, and then you'll know how strong I am!"
Unmoved, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly. Looking at the somewhat arrogant Ma Hongjun, he felt a little pain.
The instant Ma Hongjun drew near, his own Heavenly Emperor Cauldron martial soul manifested. With an ear-piercing metallic sound, the approaching Ma Hongjun was immediately bounced back like a ball and knocked to the ground.
"Holy crap, what kind of martial soul is that? Isn't that defense way too incredible?"
Having fallen to the ground, Ma Hongjun clutched his chest and climbed to his feet. He glanced at Ye Xingchen and hurriedly cried out.
When he had attacked with seventy percent of his soul power just now, he had thought he could teach this guy a lesson with ease.
Who knew that the moment his soul power made contact, an even stronger surge of soul power would bounce him straight back?
In that instant, he had seen a cauldron with three legs and two handles above this guy's head, enveloping him.
"Unless someone gives you a beating, you think everyone else is easy to bully, don't you?" Ye Xingchen said with a slight sigh.
