The room where Lin Huai and his group were staying.

Knock, knock—

The sound of knocking echoed.

Tian Yue stood up to open the door.

"Sorry to bother you, we wanted to ask a few things."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood at the threshold.

"Come in, what do you want to ask?"

The two of them sat down across from Lin Huai.

Ning Rongrong spoke first:

"I can tell you how Dai Mubai and the others plan to deal with you, but I also hope to get some information about you in return."

As expected, she was a bit different from the Ning Rongrong in the original story; she had already learned how to play a game of empty-handed white wolf.

Lin Huai rubbed his chin, then spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter to us; I already know everything about them."

"If they don't play by the rules when the time comes, we won't feel obligated to follow them either."

Ning Rongrong knew that the initiative in this battle lay entirely in Lin Huai's hands.

There was no way to fish for information using this method.

So, she went straight to the point:

"Tang San discovered a flaw in your words, and they plan to use that as an excuse to gang up on you. Their chosen target is Miss Tian Yue."

Even though she knew those people would target her after seeing Lin Huai show off his power, Tian Yue was still very angry—she had been underestimated!

Lin Huai rubbed Tian Yue's head, soothing her to keep her from getting angry.

"Now, tell me what you want to know. I'll see if it's something I can answer."

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Ning Rongrong quickly asked:

"Nothing too much, just knowing your Martial Souls and ranks will be enough."

Still too naive after all.

Lin Huai pretended to frown, then sighed.

"Seeing as two little beauties are asking personally, I'll tell you about mine and Sister Yue's. Don't even think about the others."

A look of joy appeared on Ning Rongrong's face;

knowing the information of even one or two was good enough.

"I am currently a Soul Ancestor, and Sister Yue's rank is a bit higher than mine."

"We both possess a single Martial Soul, and can be classified as Power Attack types."

The two girls exclaimed that it was impossible. Lin Huai was about the same age as them, yet he was already a Soul Ancestor?

But he had no reason to lie, and someone who could brutally suppress three Soul Elders and one Soul Grand Master without even using their Soul Rings ought to have the strength of a Soul Ancestor.

Zhu Zhuqing remembered that Yu Gang had said Lin Huai possessed Twin Martial Souls, so she blurted it out.

"Great Master said the Holy Son has Twin Martial Souls."

Hearing Yu Gang drop another classic, Lin Huai sneered:

"Yu Gang?"

"Just a piece of trash. The theories he proposes are full of holes. You don't actually believe him, do you?"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly distanced herself from Yu Gang.

"How could we? He couldn't even answer my questions; there's no way we'd believe him."

She then looked at Lin Huai, waiting for him to reveal more information.

Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Lin Huai smiled.

"As a bonus, we will both be participating in this Soul Master Tournament."

Seeing that Lin Huai would say no more, the two girls took their leave.

After Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing left.

Hu Liena looked at Lin Huai, who was sitting cross-legged in the living room deep in thought, her eyes shining.

The two of them left the hotel and headed toward Shrek.

On the way, Ning Rongrong didn't notice a stone and tripped, having to rely on Zhu Zhuqing to stumble all the way back to Shrek.

The two girls walked up to Flender's office.

Faintly, she heard words like 'Er Long' and 'so happy.'

She knocked on the door.

Flender opened the door with a calm expression.

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong injured, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first:

"Dean, Great Master gave me and Rongrong a few days off. We won't be back at night during this period, so we came specifically to inform you."

Seeing Flender's troubled expression, Ning Rongrong dropped a crucial bombshell.

"We received some information from Lin Huai."

"Lin Huai is already a Soul Ancestor, and that youngest sister should be too, possibly even higher level than Lin Huai."

"Impossible!"

Flender's voice suddenly rose.

"I've never heard of a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor!"

Zhu Zhuqing asked calmly:

"Then, Dean, do you believe a Soul Elder, without even using his spirit rings, defeated Dai Mubai and the other two Soul Elders plus a Soul Grand Master?"

Flender's hand, which had been waving erratically, paused, and his voice became hoarse:

"Are you saying Lin Huai was solely responsible for what happened yesterday?"

Flender had always thought a Soul Saint had intervened, but he never expected Lin Huai to have acted alone.

Ignoring the stiff Flender, Ning Rongrong continued:

"They both only have one martial soul, and they are of the attack type."

"So we can stay outside now!"

Flender nodded blankly. As the two women turned to leave, he suddenly said:

"How did you get this information?"

He clearly remembered Ning Rongrong saying she only knew Lin Huai's age and no other details.

Ning Rongrong didn't want to answer and gestured for Zhu Zhuqing to respond.

"Rongrong paid a price to exchange for it with Lin Huai."

After saying this, she supported Ning Rongrong and left Shrek.

But to Flender, it looked different, This was clearly Ning Rongrong sacrificing herself to Lin Huai, that lecherous scoundrel, for Shrek, and obtaining this information.

Despite feeling unwell, she personally came to tell him this.

He wiped away nonexistent tears from the corner of his eye.

"Don't worry, classmate Ning Rongrong, Shrek will definitely remember your sacrifice."

If only Ning Rongrong knew what Flender was thinking, she would have definitely had Sword Bone Douluo kill him.

Flender quickly rushed to the training grounds.

He saw Tang San fiercely clashing with Dai Mubai, parts of their clothes already torn by soul power.

"Stop for a moment, I've received some information!"

The two who were fiercely clashing stopped their movements and stood side by side with the other three.

"Brother Flender, what information did you get that you had to interrupt my teaching?"

Yu Gang walked over, his hands behind his back.

Flender detailed the information Ning Rongrong and the others had briefly relayed.

Upon hearing that Lin Huai and Tian Yue were both Soul Ancestors, and that Lin Huai only had one martial soul.

Yu Gang and the Five Monsters all shouted in disbelief.

Yu Gang knew that the Angel Martial Soul had innate level twenty soul power, so he wasn't surprised by Lin Huai's level, but Tang San and the others, who were already geniuses, felt uneasy.

Yu Gang briefly explained the peculiarities of the Angel Martial Soul to them.

Everyone, including Flender, looked as if they had gained new knowledge.

They all thought the blade in Lin Huai's hand was a Soul Tool, and that Lin Huai and Tian Yue both had the Angel Martial Soul.

Tang San asked:

"As expected of you, teacher. But teacher, were you just concerned about Lin Huai not being a Twin Martial Soul user?"

Yu Gang affirmed Tang San's guess.

"Brother Flender, is it possible this information is fake?"

Seeing his old friend negate the information Ning Rongrong had exchanged her purity for, Flender said solemnly:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The information must be true!"

"This is something classmate Ning Rongrong exchanged for with great sacrifice!"

Seeing this, Yu Gang didn't say any more.

Upon hearing that Ning Rongrong had made a great sacrifice, Oscar's mind involuntarily conjured images akin to an Incompetent Husband.

No!!!

Flender continued to deliver heavy blows to Oscar.

"Just now, she told me that Zhu Zhuqing was supporting her when she left!"

The scene in Oscar's mind escalated again, even featuring an Ace Love segment. He felt like crying.

Why would that Lin Huai treat Rongrong like this?

Why couldn't he be gentler?

How much pain would Rongrong be in!

"Dean! Where are Rongrong and the others?"

Flender was very satisfied with Oscar's question, as it proved the students were quite friendly towards each other.

"I gave them a few days off. They should be heading to Suotuo City now."

Dai Mubai patted Oscar's shoulder, his tone heavy.

"Xiao Ao, let's train hard first and not let Ning Rongrong's efforts go to waste!"

Oscar closed his eyes and nodded with difficulty.
