Zhu Zhuqing, Trial of Mind Control!

"I'm sorry..."

Xiao Wu did not look back, her expression resolute as she followed in Lin Fan's footsteps, leaving Tang San so devastated that he collapsed onto the ground.

Even when he lost to Dugu Yan, Tang San hadn't felt this heartbroken; after all, in his view, he was younger than her, so losing was only natural.

But watching Xiao Wu follow Lin Fan without a single glance back, Tang San completely broke down.

"Why? Why is this happening?"

"No!"

Tang San let out a howl toward the heavens, though unfortunately, there was no "falling snowflakes" background music to accompany it.

There was no helping it; at this point, Xiao Wu and Tang San had not yet shared any soul-stirring experiences, so naturally, Da Ming and Er Ming held far more importance in her heart.

"That's enough."

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice, "It's just a woman, what is there to be sad about? And you, how did I teach you before?"

"Hmph, tell me, how do you feel about losing to Dugu Yan today?"

"..."

"I feel terrible!"

Tang San looked impatient.

Yu Xiaogang lectured, "Then put all those thoughts aside. In a moment, you will chase after Lin Fan and apologize to him."

"What?"

Tang San was utterly shocked, blurting out, "He's taking Xiao Wu away, and you want me to go apologize to him?"

At that moment, if not for the fact that Tang San knew Flender and Yu Xiaogang were close, he would have considered killing his master!

"That's right."

Yu Xiaogang said in a low voice, "The Dugu Yan who just defeated you was only an ordinary Soul Elder a short time ago, possessing a Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul. But ever since she met Lin Fan, she transformed into a Jade Jade Dragon martial soul in a very short time, and her soul power surged!"

"Qin Ming saw all of this with his own eyes."

"Regardless of anything else, Lin Fan possesses the ability to make people stronger."

"It's just a woman, why care so much? Once your soul power improves and you become a Title Douluo, you can have as many women as you want."

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at Tang San, sighing, "San, have you forgotten your father's instructions when he left? Have you forgotten what you told me before?"

"Is it true? Can he really make martial souls evolve? Can he really make people stronger?"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, before Tang San could even reply, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes had already lit up.

Especially when she recalled that after meeting Lin Fan once, Ning Rongrong had left this place shortly after; she, too, began to harbor different thoughts.

"That's right."

Flender said in a deep voice, "Your senior Qin Ming wouldn't lie to you. Furthermore, after he helps a martial soul evolve, he even has the ability to mend its flaws!"

"..."

"I'll go apologize right now!"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun became instantly excited and rushed toward the direction Lin Fan had left. But before he could, Zhu Zhuqing had already utilized her soul power, her body moving with incredible agility as she quickly overtook him and vanished without a trace.

All that remained were a stunned Dai Mubai and Tang San.

"Fine, if he can make me stronger, I don't mind admitting my mistake."

Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "As for Xiao Wu? Since she abandoned me, I will cultivate even harder, and one day, I will make her regret this!"

"..."

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged a glance and beckoned for the rest of the students to follow.

After all, to them, the students' emotions were not an issue; as long as they could become more powerful and bring fame to Shrek Academy, that was all that mattered.

As for Yu Xiaogang, his reasoning was even simpler: only by cultivating Tang San into a powerhouse could he prove his theories and make his own future days easier.

And so, a scene that shocked everyone immediately unfolded on the street.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun knelt directly before Lin Fan, bowing respectfully to apologize for their previous actions.

Tang San, in particular, kowtowed several times until his forehead was covered in red bloodstains, leaving the onlookers on the street in utter astonishment.

As for Zhu Zhuqing?

Because she hadn't attacked earlier and had been the first to chase after them, Lin Fan did not make her kneel.

"Ahem."

Flender chuckled, "Director Lin, you see it yourself—these children have a good attitude about admitting their mistakes. Please be the bigger person and spare them this once."

"As for the money we agreed upon, we will get it to you shortly."

"Fine."

Seeing that Tang San and the others had knelt and kowtowed, Lin Fan didn't mind earning a sum of money, and incidentally, he could also siphon off their martial souls.

However, Lin Fan looked toward Zhu Zhuqing and suddenly smiled, "Martial soul evolution is not something that can be achieved so easily!"

"Since this young lady arrived first today, I shall proceed with her Martial Soul evolution first."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing could not help but reveal a look of joy.

At this moment, their relationship had not yet reached that level of intimacy; being able to advance her Martial Soul first and increase her strength was naturally something that delighted Zhu Zhuqing.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang did not refuse, for in their view, as long as Lin Fan agreed to one, the others would follow suit soon enough.

"Then you all may return first."

Lin Fan said indifferently, "The young lady just needs to come with me."

"..."

"Very well!"

Because Tang San and the others had previously clashed with Lin Fan, Flender and Yu Xiaogang were worried that Lin Fan might lose his temper again, so they did not follow.

After all, Qin Ming was still there!

Flender still placed a great deal of trust in Qin Ming.

And so, Lin Fan led a large, bustling group back to the hotel.

Dugu Yan and the others were immediately called away by Qin Ming, who claimed he wanted to review today's battle against Tang San and his group.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind Lin Fan, entering the room together.

The moment they stepped inside, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Can... can you let Zhu Zhuqing go out first?"

Xiao Wu bit her lip and said, "I still have something to say to you."

"You seem to have misunderstood something," Lin Fan said calmly. "It is you who have a request of me; you do not have the authority to order me around."

"Go out. Once I am finished, I will naturally come find you."

"You... you wouldn't want those secrets to become known to everyone, would you?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to speak again, Lin Fan delivered a single sentence that acted as a fatal blow, causing her to retreat from the room with a grievance-filled expression and close the door behind her.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing paid no mind to Xiao Wu and asked in a low voice, "How does the Martial Soul evolve?"

"It's very simple. Take off your clothes, and I can perform the Martial Soul evolution for you."

Lin Fan answered casually.

"Take off my clothes?"

Although this was her first time, Zhu Zhuqing was well-traveled and knew a great deal about such matters. She immediately crossed her arms over her chest and asked nervously, "Why must I take off my clothes just for a Martial Soul evolution?"

"Martial Soul evolution requires thoroughly guiding the Martial Soul and soul power within your body; having clothes on will cause interference."

Lin Fan certainly wouldn't make it easy for an outsider to reap benefits. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was about to ask more, he immediately said, "Do you still want to become stronger and surpass Dai Mubai?"

"!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned firm, and right in front of Lin Fan, she reached out to undo her buttons.

"That's more like it... Come, let me perform the Martial Soul evolution for you!"

Lin Fan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and reached out to tap Zhu Zhuqing on the forehead. However, he did not manifest his Evolution Light Martial Soul; instead, he triggered his soul bone, successfully casting Mind Control!

Finally, he had the opportunity; how could Lin Fan not test the specific capabilities of Mind Control?

His eyes were filled with anticipation!
