Morning.
Lin Huai finished washing up, feeling refreshed.
He planned to take the three women to find a spot to begin today's basic training.
Also in the morning.
Inside Shrek Academy, Yu Gang looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu before him.
"Where are Dai Mubai and the other two?"
Tang San shared a room with Oscar, but he hadn't sensed any sign of Oscar returning all night.
"Teacher, Oscar didn't come back last night. I believe the three of them must be together."
Xiao Wu suddenly spotted a figure slowly approaching.
"San, look, is that Oscar?"
They saw Oscar walk closer.
His face was deathly pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and bloodshot veins covered his whites like a spiderweb; he looked like a man on the verge of death.
Xiao Wu jumped out and approached Oscar.
"Oscar, you..."
Before Xiao Wu could finish her sentence, Oscar recoiled violently, waving his hands frantically.
His voice was hoarse, and his tone carried a hint of terror.
"No more, no more. If I go again, I'll die."
Yu Gang shouted at Oscar.
"Where are Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, and why have you ended up in this state?"
Startled back to his senses by Yu Gang's roar, Oscar realized it was Xiao Wu and said listlessly:
"Oh, it's you, Xiao Wu. I thought it was them."
He hunched over, mouth half-open, and looked at Yu Gang with confusion in his eyes.
"Boss Dai and the others should have returned a long time ago."
"Grandmaster, I need to rest for a while. I'll join the training this afternoon."
Oscar shuffled toward the dormitory, step by agonizing step.
Recalling last night, Oscar had been quite happy at the start.
After all, there were three beauties who were all quite decent.
After Oscar wanted to rest, the one called Xiao Ling'er muttered:
'Mother ordered that we must make sure Young Master Dai's money is well spent.'
After that, it was round after round of relentless torment.
If it weren't for Oscar's first soul skill being the Big Sausage, he might have become a Soul Elder who died from exhaustion.
His body trembled, and Oscar hurriedly emptied his mind.
Now, the mere image of a woman appearing in his head triggered a stress response.
Seeing that he was truly exhausted and that forced training would yield no results, Yu Gang did not stop him.
"San, what happened to Oscar?"
Having never experienced such things, Tang San naturally didn't know either.
The two of them looked at Yu Gang.
Alas, Yu Gang was merely an old virgin who had only ever talked the talk but never walked the walk.
Just as Yu Gang was pondering how to make an excuse, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also walked over, looking listless.
However, the two of them only looked somewhat fatigued, unlike Oscar, who looked like he was about to die.
Yu Gang pointed at them and scolded sternly:
"Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun!"
"Have you forgotten that there is special training today?"
The two were still drowning in the grief of their stinging, incurable condition.
After all, this was Scarlet Rot; how could it possibly be cured?
Upon hearing the judgment of the Andrology Saint, they felt as if their world had nearly collapsed.
If not for the hope that they might find a more powerful healing-type soul master, they would have already wanted to end it all.
Seeing that the two had yet to pull themselves together, Yu Gang infused his voice with soul power and barked:
"Regardless of what situation you two have encountered, pull yourselves together and start today's special training!"
Dai Mubai was already quite irritated, and upon hearing Yu Gang's words, he nearly threw a punch at him.
However, remembering that he still needed Yu Gang's help with training, he took a deep breath and held it back.
Thinking that this strange illness only appeared after Lin Huai defeated him, he shifted the blame onto Lin Huai once again.
He never expected that he had stumbled upon the truth by accident.
Seeing that his reprimand was effective, Yu Gang felt even more admiration for his own knowledge and talent.
"Alright, Oscar is resting today. No matter what difficulties you face, train hard, and in a few days, you can vent it all out in battle!"
Ma Hongjun thought of the three top-tier beauties surrounding Lin Huai.
Having failed to vent yesterday, his Evil Fire surged up instantly.
And so, Tang San and Xiao Wu witnessed an incredible scene.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were training with extreme diligence.
A few days passed just like that.
As for Haozi and Qian Daoliu.
Tang Hao had returned twice during this period, but every time he approached Suotuo City, Qian Daoliu's aura would emerge.
One part of Tang San and his team's training involved running back and forth from Shrek to Suotuo City every day.
For the sake of his son's soul rings and soul bones, Tang Hao was forced to frequently lure Qian Daoliu away.
Qian Daoliu was quite happy to have a pet to entertain himself with.
Tang Hao, however, was miserable and wished he could kill Yu Gang.
Evening, Great Soul Arena of Suotuo City.
The Shrek group had been waiting there for a long time.
Lin Huai and his five companions appeared outside the Great Soul Arena at this moment.
Seeing Ning Rongrong standing directly with Lin Huai, Oscar felt miserable despite his lingering fear of women, and his mind began to conjure up animations of Ning Rongrong and Lin Huai.
Having experienced the scenario of the three of them flying together, the animations in his mind became increasingly vivid.
"Rongrong, you should be standing on our side!"
Oscar's tone carried a hint of anger.
Dai Mubai did not want to face Zhu Zhuqing now; if she found out he had an illness, there would be no hope of reconciliation.
Ma Hongjun stood behind Dai Mubai, his eyes constantly scanning Dai Mubai's backside.
After all, even in the brothels, they wouldn't trade with someone carrying a virus.
Ning Rongrong had only learned more things, but her personality remained unchanged; she was still a little witch, still very arrogant.
Hearing Oscar's reproachful tone, she retorted instantly:
"I worked so hard to trade for information for you, and you, Oscar, dare to snap at me?"
Hearing this, the short animation in Oscar's mind instantly turned into a seven-day continuous miniseries.
Ning Rongrong had not expected that she only wanted to exaggerate her contributions to make it easier for her and Zhu Zhuqing to explain why they hadn't returned to Shrek for these past few days.
She never imagined it would be rumored that she had sacrificed herself in exchange for information.
Oscar closed his eyes, swallowed the bitterness of finishing the series, and his tone carried a sense of grievance.
"Fine, very fine!"
"You, Ning Rongrong, look down on us now, haven't you? Relying on your body to latch onto the Holy Son—you're so noble! You're so amazing!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned, and everyone present was stunned.
The Shrek side was surprised by Oscar's boldness.
Lin Huai and his group were genuinely confused; when did Ning Rongrong ever have such a transaction with Lin Huai? They were together every day, how could they not know?
Ning Rongrong's expression remained calm as she looked at the others from Shrek.
"Is that what you all think too?"
No one met her gaze; after all, in the minds of the Shrek group, that was indeed what Ning Rongrong had done.
Ning Rongrong suddenly laughed, and after she finished, her tone turned icy.
"Fine, I'll just consider my conscience fed to the dogs!"
Seeing that Ning Rongrong did not deny it, Oscar pressed his advantage.
"Look, you quitting Shrek now is proof of your guilty conscience, you..."
Flender covered Oscar's mouth, smiled apologetically at Ning Rongrong, but he didn't say much else; after all, Oscar had lived in Shrek for many years, and Flender naturally favored him.
Yu Gang stood with his hands behind his back, nose tilted toward the sky, and stepped forward slowly.
"Holy Son Lin Huai, you didn't restrict us from fighting multiple-on-one before, so our five students will enter the arena together!"
Seeing Yu Gang's arrogant posture, Lin Huai was so speechless he laughed out loud.
