Tang San and Ma Hongjun listened to Oscar's plan without any reaction. Instead, they showed smiles of smug satisfaction that their good brother was going to win back the beauty's heart again. In their eyes, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were a perfect match, and Oscar was a good match for Ning Rongrong. So what did it matter what methods Oscar used to win Ning Rongrong's heart?
Not long after, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing appeared in the crowd. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at the four people at the entrance of Shrek Academy, but their faces did not show any surprise, which showed that the two of them had not been reborn.
Oscar was slightly disappointed; he now had to put in a lot of effort to win back his wife.
Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to endure the tigress's wrath.
Tang San and Ma Hongjun were also somewhat gloating. One of them had been trying to win Xiao Wu's heart so far, while the other hadn't even seen his lover yet. Who knew how long it would take to rekindle their romance? Dai Mubai and Oscar would also have to spend time rekindling their romances with their lovers. Just like them, they were naturally overjoyed. After all, brothers should share hardships.
Afterwards, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing displayed their Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and cultivation levels, entered the Shrek Inner Court, and passed the Shrek Inner Court's tests to become members of the Shrek Inner Court.
Then, just like in the original story, Flender received a letter from Ning Fengzhi, hoping that he would discipline Ning Rongrong and temper Ning Rongrong temperament.
Flender didn't let Yu Xiaogang teach the students; instead, he personally taught them and assigned them tasks, making Oscar and Ning Rongrong, two Support System Soul Master, run twenty laps around the Shrek Academy together.
Ning Rongrong simply didn't have the stamina to run so many laps around the Shrek Academy, so she stopped halfway through.
Oscar has been reborn and has maintained a clean record during his two years at the Shrek Academy. He has been working hard to train and his physical strength has greatly increased compared to his previous life, making him capable of completing the twenty-lap mission.
Seeing Ning Rongrong stop, he didn't say anything, secretly chuckling to himself, anticipating Flender's reprimand, and continued running on his own.
Since the food at the Shrek Academy's Inner Academy had improved, Ning Rongrong didn't go to Suotuo City for a big meal as in the original story. Instead, she walked around and rested. After Oscar ran his twentieth lap, she pretended to run a little and then returned to the finish line with Oscar.
Flender, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and Xiao Wu waited quietly.
"Oscar, have you finished twenty laps?" Flender's gaze was sharp, making people afraid to meet his eyes.
Oscar said, "Dean, I've finished running."
Flender scoffed. "I'm asking about all of you, not you."
Oscar turned to look at Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong was also looking at him with innocent eyes. He said, "Yes, we've all finished running."
Flender walked up to Oscar, a mocking sneer on his face. "Very well, Oscar, I didn't expect you to be so friendly. I admire your friendliness. In that case, go run twenty more laps and let me see just how deep your friendliness really is. No food until you finish. I've sealed your Soul Power; don't even try to unseal it. Go."
Oscar gave a wry smile, turned to look at Ning Rongrong was still pretending to be innocent, and showed a look of heartache and expectation in his eyes before going to run laps.
Just like in the original story, when faced with Flender's questioning, Ning Rongrong displayed the demeanor of Little Demoness from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and started arguing with Flender.
Ning Rongrong sneered, "Trying to get rid of me? Not so easy. Since I'm here, I have no intention of leaving early. Flender, I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
Flender smiled calmly. "If I were afraid of any consequences, this academy wouldn't exist. This is my territory, and I call the shots. Mubai."
"Just because your father is reluctant to discipline you doesn't mean I am. You're not my daughter, nor my precious child. In my eyes, any student here is stronger than you. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is indeed one of the most powerful support-type Martial Soul, but unfortunately, you only bring shame upon it."
"You're talking nonsense." Ning Rongrong's chest heaved violently with anger.
"I'm talking nonsense? Then tell me, who are you better than here?" Flender said dismissively.
Flender pointed at Dai Mubai and said, "He's fifteen years old this year, his Martial Soul White Tiger, he's a combat-type Soul Master. He has twin pupils from birth. He's level thirty-five. He possesses two Hundred-Year Soul Rings and one Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
"Tang San only twelve years old. He reached the level of a quasi- Soul Elder of level 30 more than a year ago. However, in order to verify the theory of my old friend, who is also a teacher at the Shrek Academy, he has not yet obtained Soul Ring. That teacher is Tang San's master."
Flender turned to Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing, "Ma Hongjun is about the same age as Tang San. Although his Martial Soul has a flaw, he cultivates exceptionally hard and has already reached level 28, Soul Grandmaster! His Mutated Martial Soul is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, a gift from heaven. In terms of Martial Soul alone, there are few people on the entire continent who can compare to him."
"Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power is similar to yours. However, unlike you, she has a steadfast and persistent heart. Zhu Zhuqing, tell me, why did you come to the Shrek Academy?"
Zhu Zhuqing answered without hesitation in a cold voice, "Make yourself stronger."
Flender's gaze fell on Hu Liena and Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with pride. "Hu Liena, at only eighteen years old, has already broken through to the Soul Ancestor, breaking the record for the youngest Soul Ancestor since Shrek Academy began enrolling students. To break through to the Soul Ancestor at such a young age, such an achievement, not only at the Shrek Academy, but even on the entire continent, would be considered a super genius."
"In terms of cultivation level, Hu Liena could have graduated from the Shrek Academy long ago, but she chose to stay and continue her studies Shrek Academy. Why do you think that is?"
"Xiao Wu, she's the same age as you, twelve years old, but you'd never guess how high her cultivation level is. Thirty-nine level Soul Elder, just one step away from Soul Ancestor."
"Xiao Wu's talent is top-tier even on the entire continent. Her cultivation speed is comparable to that of Tang Hao, the youngest Title Douluo on the continent."
A transformed Soul Beast undergoing rebirth receives Soul Power from its Soul Beast core, essentially giving Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power a rare Immortal Grade Herb by default. Cultivating at full power, its cultivation speed for the first seventy levels will be no less than that of a genius Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty.
Xiao Wu devoted herself entirely to cultivation, and her cultivation speed far surpassed Tang San's. Tang San worked day and night, even circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill to the point of exhaustion, but he still couldn't catch up.
