Facing Zhu Zhuqing's indifference.
Dai Mubai froze in place, the flowers in his hand looking especially glaring.
He had not slept at all last night.
Zhu Zhuqing's icy, resolute gaze weighed on his heart like a mountain.
He realized that if he did not take action now, he would lose this girl he owed so much forever.
To ease the awkwardness, Dai Mubai forcibly squeezed out a smile.
He began enthusiastically introducing the academy to everyone:
"Up ahead is the cafeteria, and over there is the training ground..."
"Shrek may be poor, but the food is still pretty good..."
As he spoke, he tried to use this method to draw the girls' attention back to himself.
Seeing Dai Mubai's fawning manner, Tang San felt even more speechless and disdainful.
This man was truly beyond saving.
He put all his thoughts into pleasing women. How narrow-minded could he be?
If he had put that effort into cultivation, he would not have been slapped away by Big Brother yesterday.
Thinking of Lin Chuan, Tang San could not help comparing the two.
Big Brother's strength was unfathomable, yet he acted with understated composure. He looked lazy, but in truth, everything was under his control.
Then there was Dai Mubai. He had some talent, but his temperament was impetuous.
Yesterday, he had even dared provoke Big Brother.
He was like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon. Ridiculous beyond measure!
Compared to Big Brother, he was simply worlds apart!
No matter how hard Dai Mubai tried.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the other girls showed Dai Mubai no kindness.
One night was more than enough for the three girls to gossip and exchange information.
They had already learned most of Dai Mubai's romantic exploits!
Dai Mubai could not help feeling depressed.
He somewhat regretted chasing after women in the past!
Just as Dai Mubai felt he was about to be unable to hold on any longer.
A death omen appeared.
"Ha—ah—"
Ma Hongjun yawned as he staggered out of the dormitory, still bleary-eyed.
As he walked, he scratched at his messy bird's-nest hair.
At a glance, he spotted Dai Mubai among the crowd, along with the conspicuous bouquet in his hand.
Ma Hongjun's eyes immediately lit up.
He revealed a lewd grin that said, Brother, I get it.
Then he swaggered over.
He slapped Dai Mubai on the shoulder and shouted:
"Whoa, Boss! What are you putting on this time?"
"Up so early? I thought you went to Suotuo City to find those twin sisters again!"
"What, changing tastes? Which new junior sister are those flowers for?"
The moment those words came out, the entire place fell silent.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong rolled their eyes so hard they nearly reached the sky.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression had gone from icy to frostbitten.
Tang San silently took half a step back, as though he did not want to be associated with such a person.
Dai Mubai's face instantly turned the color of liver.
He felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.
Killing intent roared wildly in his chest.
He slowly turned his head and fixed Ma Hongjun with a gaze that could devour someone alive.
"Fat... man..."
Those two words were practically squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Ma Hongjun shuddered under his stare, then scratched his head with a baffled look.
"What is it, Boss? That look is terrifying. Did I say something wrong?"
Dai Mubai took a deep breath.
He was afraid that if he did not breathe, he would have a heart attack on the spot.
He really wanted to kill someone!
He wanted to chop this useless, troublemaking fat man into minced meat!
How bitter!
Dai Mubai's heart was bleeding.
The tiny chance he had painstakingly created to win her back had been completely buried by a single sentence from this pig teammate!
Time passed quickly.
That evening, Shrek's first class began.
Flender had assigned twenty laps that morning. Now was the time to inspect the results and add extra training.
On the large training ground.
Dean Flender stood before everyone with his hands behind his back, his face so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water.
"Ning Rongrong, tell me. Did you complete today's twenty-lap running assignment?"
Standing in formation, Ning Rongrong played with her nails carelessly and said indifferently:
"It was too tiring, so I didn't finish."
"I went to Suotuo City to shop and eat some good food."
"You!" Flender's beard trembled with anger. "Not only did you skip training, you even lied! Oscar said you were running, and you actually had him cover for you!"
"He did it willingly." Ning Rongrong lifted her head, revealing her little witch nature, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Flender, stop trying to fob me off with this boring training."
"I'm a genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, not here to be labor in this shabby village!"
"Running laps? What use is such low-level training to me?"
Flender was left speechless.
He knew Ning Rongrong had been spoiled, but he had not expected the girl to be this difficult.
Just as the atmosphere reached a deadlock.
A lazy voice drifted out of the darkness.
"Oh, it's pretty lively. Everyone's here?"
Everyone turned around to see Lin Chuan with his hands in his pockets.
A stalk of Blue Silver Grass hung from his mouth. Nobody knew where he had been fooling around, but he appeared with an innocent expression.
Everyone's gazes immediately focused on him.
When Flender saw Lin Chuan, his eyes spun as an idea came to him.
Since you were an assistant instructor and the academy's wealthy benefactor.
Why not toss this hot potato to you?
"Instructor Lin Chuan, you be the judge."
Flender pointed at Ning Rongrong, looking as though his heart ached:
"This girl refuses to follow the rules, has no respect for her teachers, and thinks running laps is meaningless. Do you think she should run?"
Flender was setting Lin Chuan up, forcing him to take a side.
Everyone looked at Lin Chuan.
Tang San thought, Big Brother would definitely support the dean. Rules were rules, after all.
Ning Rongrong also looked at Lin Chuan, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation as she thought:
You're just a slightly wealthy assistant instructor. Do you dare tell this young lady what to do?
However, what Lin Chuan said next left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
Lin Chuan walked up to Flender, shook his head, and said with righteous conviction:
"Dean, Dean, forgive my bluntness, but your teaching method is far too outdated."
"Huh?"
Flender froze.
How had he been stabbed in the back?
As an assistant instructor, weren't you supposed to stand with me?
Tang San was confused at first, but then his eyes lit up as he secretly thought:
As expected of Big Brother! He actually dares question the dean! He must have some deeper insight!
Ning Rongrong was also stunned, then delighted.
The way she looked at Lin Chuan gained a little more approval:
"This guy is actually speaking up for me? Looks like he knows what he's talking about! Unlike an old fossil like Flender!"
Flender's face went completely black.
If not for those Gold Soul Coins, he would have exploded long ago.
Suppressing his anger, he asked:
"Outdated? Then tell me, what exactly is outdated?"
"Physical fitness is the foundation of a Spirit Master. Is that wrong?"
Lin Chuan sighed, wearing an expression that said Flender was beyond teaching:
"Physical fitness is certainly important, but what limits can you reach by relying on this kind of mindless running with no technical value?"
"This inefficient training is simply wasting the talents of these Little Monsters."
"Then what brilliant idea do you have?" Flender asked unwillingly.
Lin Chuan's expression remained calm as he spoke with complete seriousness:
"Since this is Monster Academy, we should train them like monsters."
"If you truly want results, bring in our esteemed Vice Dean Zhao."
"Zhao Wuji? What do you need him for?" Flender asked in confusion.
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Have him use his Gravity Enhancement soul skill on everyone."
"Only this kind of all-around, inescapable gravitational pressure applied deep across their entire bodies can truly squeeze out their potential."
"Besides, it can train Vice Dean Zhao's fine control over gravity as well. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
The moment he said that, the entire field fell silent.
Ning Rongrong's smug smile instantly froze.
