Jiang Yi walked over to Ning Rongrong and asked with a frown, "Didn't you consider that he might actually attack?"
Ning Rongrong's face had gone a little pale as well. She truly had not expected Dai Mubai to make a move.
"Hehe, wasn't that why you were there?" Ning Rongrong forced a smile.
Jiang Yi did not indulge her. Instead, he said, "You need to watch your words. If you rashly provoke others without having the strength to back yourself up, it's easy to offend someone you can't afford to provoke."
"This time, I helped you because what he said was too unpleasant, and because you're my friend."
"If you provoke someone for no reason in the future and the person who can help you isn't nearby, what will you do then?"
Faced with Jiang Yi's question, Ning Rongrong's face grew even paler, tears swirling in her eyes.
"I know I was wrong," Ning Rongrong said softly.
"It's good that you know." Jiang Yi nodded slightly.
"I've already escorted you to the academy, so I'll head back to Suotuo City first." Jiang Yi turned and walked toward Suotuo City.
Ning Rongrong turned to look at his retreating back and could not help shouting, "Jiang Yi, are we still friends?"
"Of course."
Only when his voice reached Ning Rongrong's ears did she smile through her tears.
Oscar, who had witnessed the entire scene from the side, wore a bitter smile.
After what had happened, he knew he no longer had any chance.
After Jiang Yi returned to the hotel, he continued training his Spiritual Power.
After his body had returned to normal, the combination of training and applying his Spiritual Power allowed it to grow at an astonishing rate.
If he wanted to speed up that growth even further, he needed to cultivate his Martial Soul.
"It's about time to hunt my First Soul Ring. Spirit Attribute Soul Beasts are hard to find."
Early the next morning, Jiang Yi opened his eyes. The golden light in them slowly faded, and after exhaling a deep breath of stale air, he got out of bed.
Gazing at the sunlight streaming in through the window, Jiang Yi knew it was time to set off.
Although Soros had said he would help Jiang Yi hunt a Soul Ring, the Soul Beast Jiang Yi intended to hunt was one Soros and the others could not help much with at all.
With his current Physical Quality, and without the Spiritual Power drawbacks of Peerless Jiang Yi, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would be more than manageable.
After breakfast, he left the hotel directly.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Flender had just returned with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
With the help of a Healing Soul Master, Tang San and Xiao Wu no longer appeared to have any problems on the surface.
Tang San's face was still slightly pale, however, and his expression was exceedingly gloomy, hatred flickering in his eyes.
"San Ge, Zhong Yu Hui is here." The moment Xiao Wu opened her mouth, her problem was exposed.
During the battle last night, she had lost one front tooth, along with several teeth elsewhere.
When Tang San heard her speak, he was Stunned at first. Only after thinking for a moment did he Realize what Xiao Wu had said.
Pain and hatred immediately flashed through his eyes.
"Jiang Yi, I will definitely kill you and avenge Xiao Wu!"
In Tang San's view, Jiang Yi had merely gained the initiative last night. Before Tang San could use his Hidden Weapons, Jiang Yi had injured both his hands.
If his hands had been normal, he could absolutely have killed Jiang Yi with his Hidden Weapons.
"Next week, I will definitely take on the King of the Hill Challenge again." Tang San reined in his hatred and buried it deep within his heart.
After Flender returned to Shrek, he immediately gathered everyone on the main training field.
Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing had all assembled there. Only Oscar was absent.
Dai Mubai stared coldly at Ning Rongrong, while Ning Rongrong's face was equally frosty as she could not be bothered to acknowledge him.
Flender frowned at Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, unable to understand what trouble the two of them had stirred up again.
"Mubai, what's going on with you?" Flender asked Dai Mubai, whose face was somewhat pale.
Dai Mubai's Face Slightly Changed. After Hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm fine. I just didn't rest well last night."
Jiang Yi had slapped him across the face last night, then nearly kicked him unconscious.
It was too humiliating to speak of, especially in front of Zhu Zhuqing, so he ultimately chose to hide it.
Flender knew he was lying, but he did not say anything more.
"Where did Oscar run off to? Does he think that just because I went to Suotuo City, I won't come back to teach?" Flender asked in an unfriendly tone.
Before anyone else could answer, Oscar's voice rang out.
"No, Dean!"
Oscar hurried over to Flender, shouting in delight, "Dean, I've broken through to Level 30!"
The displeasure on Flender's face instantly vanished, replaced by a smile. "You brat, you're truly the most talented Spirit Master I've ever seen."
"Time is of the essence. I'll have Old Zhao take you to the Star Dou Forest to hunt a Soul Ring right away."
"All seven of you will go together. Actual combat is the best training."
The people of Shrek Academy began making preparations. Not Long After, they also set out for the Star Dou Forest.
The Star Dou Forest was one of the three great Soul Beast gathering grounds of Douluo Continent. It was enormous, stretching across both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
A small part of it bordered the Balaque Empire. It was not very far from Suotuo City, where Jiang Yi was staying—less than five hundred kilometers away.
Jiang Yi traveled at an unhurried pace and reached a small town before nightfall. It was still less than eighty kilometers from the Star Dou Forest.
Hunting a Soul Ring could not be rushed. Since it was already dark, Jiang Yi decided to rest in the town for the night.
The town was extremely lively, and the vast majority of its inhabitants were Spirit Masters. Some loudly called out, inviting others to join Soul Hunting Teams.
The nearby shops also sold nothing but items related to Spirit Masters: weapons, antidotes, Healing Potions, and more.
Jiang Yi casually found an ordinary hotel and walked in.
The hotel had two floors. The lower floor was for dining, while the upper floor provided lodging.
Jiang Yi paid for A Room and Was About To head upstairs to rest when he suddenly heard a voice.
"We've finally reached a place to rest. Let's hurry up and eat."
Jiang Yi glanced downstairs, a faint smile curling across his lips.
"What a coincidence. I actually ran into them."
The one speaking downstairs was Ma Hongjun. Tang San and the others were with him, along with a short, sturdy Middle-aged Man whose muscles were exceptionally developed, seemingly containing explosive power.
"Zhao Wuji." Jiang Yi identified him.
He did not look any further and went straight into the room he had rented.
The room was not large, but it had everything it needed: a bed, a chair and table, as well as a separate bathroom.
Jiang Yi went directly to the bed and sat cross-legged, slowly releasing his Spiritual Power.
