Backing Zhu Zhuqing, Helping Zhu Zhuqing Cultivate!

That's exactly what I wanted!

He had unleashed his Avatar of the Martial Soul in front of Ning Rongrong for this very reason!

The result was quite satisfactory.

"You are the first person to have ever seen my Avatar of the Martial Soul. Even Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, and Tang San have never seen it."

Hearing this.

Ning Rongrong felt incredibly honored.

Suddenly.

A question occurred to her.

"Teacher, doesn't that mean the three of them will have to call me 'Teacher's Wife' in the future!?"

"You all can discuss that amongst yourselves, or just stick to your own forms of address." Mu Chen couldn't be bothered with such matters.

As the saying goes, even an honest official finds it hard to settle family disputes.

Lying in the palm of Mu Chen's hand, Ning Rongrong looked up at his breathtaking figure, her mind beginning to fantasize about the scene where Xiao Wu and the others would have to call her 'Teacher's Wife'.

Before long.

In front of the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Mu Chen dispelled his Avatar of the Martial Soul and descended from the sky, cradling Ning Rongrong in one arm.

Flender, who was drinking tea at a shop across from the arena, was slightly stunned to see this scene.

"Why is he here now?"

Hearing this.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun all followed Flender's gaze.

In an instant, they spotted Mu Chen and Ning Rongrong amidst the crowd at the entrance.

The moment Mu Chen landed with Ning Rongrong, he was immediately surrounded by passing women.

"What do they think they're doing!"

"They're actually laying hands on Teacher!"

"No! I have to go save him!"

Xiao Wu rushed out.

Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind.

Tang San, unable to care about anything else, hurried to catch up with the two of them to rescue Mu Chen.

"It's about time, let's head over too." Flender paid the bill and walked over.

Dai Mubai, with a cold face, followed along with Ma Hongjun.

"Move! Everyone, move aside!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing pushed through the crowd and shielded Mu Chen behind them.

"Teacher, let's go inside quickly!"

Taking this opportunity, Tang San pulled Mu Chen toward the interior of the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing acted like guardian deities, covering the rear.

Ning Rongrong remained in Mu Chen's arms the entire time.

Flender, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun were left speechless at the sight.

"Wait, what? I think this Teacher Mu is just a bit handsome, is it really necessary for these women to act like this?"

Ma Hongjun looked on in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine.

If so many girls liked him, how wonderful that would be.

"Stop being envious, let's go in."

Flender shook his head helplessly.

He was already at his wit's end with his disciple, Ma Hongjun.

"Mu Chen, you came over because...?"

Approaching Mu Chen, Flender glanced at the rosy-cheeked Ning Rongrong, looking quite surprised.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Rongrong has recovered quite well, and I wanted to see how your lessons were going, so I brought her along to attend."

Flender didn't think much of it and nodded, "Our evening lesson is to participate in soul fighting right here."

Afterward, he looked at his six students, including Ning Rongrong, "I've already told you the rules here; you can start registering now and sign up for soul fights."

Having said that.

He looked at Ma Hongjun again, "Hongjun, once you're finished, come find me at the shop."

Ma Hongjun nodded excitedly: "Alright!"

Flender then looked toward Mu Chen: "Since you have arrived, I shall go attend to other matters first."

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

After Flender left, Dai Mubai said indifferently: "Teacher Mu, Fatty and I will go register first."

Unlike the others, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun already possessed their own soul fighting badges and did not need to register again.

Mu Chen nodded faintly, then swept his gaze over his four disciples:

"You all go register for your soul fighting badges as well, then sign up for the competition. Although the soul masters here are not that strong, they will allow you to witness a wider variety of soul masters."

"You must remember, you are not just facing different martial souls and soul skills, but different people as well. You must be careful when competing."

"Zhuqing, you and Rongrong will team up for the competition."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, exchanged a glance with Ning Rongrong, and went to register together.

Xiao Wu and Tang San followed after them.

Before long.

The four of them completed their registration and signed up for the competition.

Zhu Zhuqing, at level twenty-eight soul power, utilized the Nine Yin Divine Claw and Snow-Treading Traceless under Ning Rongrong's support to easily defeat her opponents.

Ning Rongrong utilized the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps, which provided both offense and defense, allowing her to easily handle any danger.

The two of them achieved victory without any surprises or risks.

Xiao Wu, practicing the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability taught by Mu Chen, could stun anyone she glared at.

Tang San also easily secured victory by relying on the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, the supreme arts of the Tang Sect he had acquired in his past life.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also defeated their respective opponents without any major mishaps.

At the entrance of the Soto Great Soul Arena.

The group gathered together.

"Teacher Mu, I still need to go find my teacher, so I will take my leave first."

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Go ahead."

Mu Chen waved his hand.

Dai Mubai spoke up at this moment: "Teacher Mu, I also have an appointment, so I will be leaving now."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen stepped forward and patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder, sighing:

"Little Dai!"

"I am already aware of the matters between you and Zhuqing. While I do not wish to interfere in my disciples' private affairs, I hope you will not act on impulse!"

Feeling the immense pressure radiating from Mu Chen, Dai Mubai felt incredibly stifled, but confronting Mu Chen head-on right now was clearly not a wise move.

He turned and left without a word, never once glancing at Zhu Zhuqing from beginning to end.

In his view, Ever since Zhu Zhuqing had cast him aside, she had already embarked on a path to certain death.

Neither his family nor Zhu Zhuqing's family would let her off the hook.

"Teacher, I'm sorry..."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and came before Mu Chen: "I've caused trouble for you."

"What silly things are you saying?" Mu Chen gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's fair, delicate cheek, then pulled her into his embrace: "No matter what trouble you stir up outside, I will always have your back!"

Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved.

"Count me in too!"

Xiao Wu stepped forward with unwavering determination.

"Me too!"

Tang San said with a serious expression.

"Zhuqing, no matter what happens to you, I can help you resolve it, because I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master!"

Ning Rongrong held her head high, filled with confidence.

"Thank you all!"

Zhu Zhuqing broke into a smile through her tears, hugging Mu Chen tightly as she leaned into his chest.

"Let's go, we're heading back."

Mu Chen put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing and smiled slightly.

This time.

He did not manifest his Martial Soul Avatar.

Previously, it was only to let Ning Rongrong see what it was like, but for Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San, there was absolutely no need for that.

Shrek Academy.

Mu Chen's office.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood side by side in front of Mu Chen, while Ning Rongrong watched the show from the side.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment before making his decision: "Xiao Wu, you'll have to wait until next time."

"I'm going to help Zhuqing with her cultivation first this time."

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and smiled slightly.

"Teacher, you're biased!"

Xiao Wu pouted her soft, pink lips, looking displeased, and turned her head away with an expression that said, "I'm unhappy, hurry up and coax me."

"Xiao Wu, your talent is better than mine and your cultivation speed is faster, so just let me go first."

Zhu Zhuqing gently shook Xiao Wu, her tone soft and coquettish.

Xiao Wu was the type to yield to soft tactics rather than hard ones.

Under Zhu Zhuqing's persistent coaxing, Xiao Wu nodded helplessly: "Fine then~"

"You two should get some rest early."

"Tang San has already reached level thirty, so we are going to the Star Dou Forest tomorrow."

After giving his instructions, Mu Chen wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist and entered his room.
