Ning Rongrong tapped her cheek with her index finger and thought carefully for a moment.
"I just counted them."
"Twelve lashes landed on his buttocks, nine on his back, and five on his arms."
At this point, she added, "Those who weren't selected don't count."
Liu Ruyan's already pale face became even paler.
"Did I... did I hit that many times?"
Ma Hongjun, who was lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head and looked at Ning Rongrong in disbelief.
"You... you even counted them?"
Ning Rongrong blinked.
"Otherwise what?"
"There's nothing interesting to see on Sister Xiao Wu's side, only your side is funny."
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
So, everyone else is competing, and I'm just providing her with a show?
What's most infuriating is that this show even has people keeping accounts!
Liu Ruyan quickly squatted down next to Ma Hongjun and apologized softly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
She lowered her head, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and her voice grew softer and softer.
"As soon as I get my hands on the whip, I feel incredibly excited and can't stop."
"It's like... it's like something inside is constantly shouting, telling me to pull, telling me to pull harder..."
Upon hearing this explanation, Ma Hongjun's expression gradually turned terrified.
"Then could you please stop holding the whip in front of me?"
"Can."
Liu Ruyan thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Can."
"From now on, I'll avoid you whenever I see you."
Ma Hongjun: "..."
Something doesn't sound quite right about that.
He was the one being chased and beaten, so why does he seem like he's the one in danger now?
Jiang Zhu couldn't stand it any longer, so she quickly came over and pulled Liu Ruyan, who was about to continue apologizing, behind her.
"Okay, okay."
"Ruyan, don't apologize yet."
"If you keep talking, I'm afraid this junior won't be harmed by the whip, but by your fright."
Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly.
Liu Erlong withdrew his gaze and instructed, " Jiang Zhu, treat them first."
"The game is over, don't let the injury drag on."
"Yes, Dean."
Jiang Zhu nodded and summoned the Treatment Scepter.
A soft green light shone from the top of the scepter, first falling on Ma Hongjun.
A gentle life force flowed into his body, Ma Hongjun's trembling body, which had been in pain, slowly relaxed.
On the other side, Tang San and Dai Mubai also got up from the ground one after the other.
Both of them looked extremely grim.
Oscar sat to the side, panting heavily.
He understands now.
No matter how fast you make Sausage, you still need a chance to put it in your mouth.
As for Tai Long and Huang Yuan, they had already helped Jing Ling up.
They really gave it their all in this match.
The opponent was simply too powerful to reason with.
Yu Xiaogang remained standing there, looking as if he had been slapped several times in public, his face alternating between pale and flushed.
He made those promises with absolute certainty.
The game is all about teamwork; no matter how strong an individual is, they can't win alone.
As a result, Xiao Wu held off four opponents by herself, Zhu Zhuqing quickly dealt with the back row, and Liu Ruyan chased Ma Hongjun all over the field, slapping him.
The team tactics he mentioned failed to make any difference from beginning to end.
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, any ingenious plan sounds like a joke.
Liu Erlong walked to the center of the field, looked around, and then announced loudly.
" Su Chen's team wins this Soul Fighting."
"According to the rules set before the competition, Su Chen, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Ling'er, Jiang Zhu, and Liu Ruyan are listed as official members of the Blue Tyrant Academy team."
"The other team will serve as a substitute, and further arrangements will be made based on training and match results."
"Yeah!"
Xiao Wu raised her hand and gave Ning Rongrong a high five.
"It felt so good to beat up those Little San today!"
Ning Rongrong, also beaming, turned and ran to Su Chen's side, affectionately hugging his arm.
"Brother Chen, we really are the strongest."
Su Chen smiled, but before he could speak, Yu Xiaogang couldn't hold back any longer.
He strode up to Liu Erlong, panting heavily.
" Er Long, do you really want to do this?!"
Liu Erlong glanced at him, her tone indifferent.
"What, you have a problem with that?"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and pointed towards Su Chen's direction.
What I mean is, the team can still be adjusted.
"Two Auxiliary System Soul Master, a child with only one Soul Ring, and a Soul Grandmaster with less than ideal Soul Ring Configuration. This lineup has too little room for error."
"At the very least, Tang San and Mu Bai should be included in the official team."
"A team is only complete when it has both a control-type Soul Master and Power Attack System Soul Master."
Liu Erlong's face turned cold, and she glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
"The rules were set beforehand: if you win, you go; if you lose, you get out."
"Everyone saw clearly who was beaten so badly they couldn't get up."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others.
" Yu Xiaogang, this is the truth."
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned a deep liver color.
fact?
He certainly knew that was true.
But he refused to admit it.
In the past, Liu Erlong would get nervous if he even frowned, and she would come over to coax him with tears in her eyes if he said anything harsh.
But what about now?
She actually embarrassed herself in front of so many people.
good.
Since you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too.
Yu Xiaogang didn't believe it.
He couldn't believe that the woman who had been infatuated with him for twenty years could really let go so easily.
This must be an act.
It's forcing yourself to bow down.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.
"Since you think my advice is worthless, then I have nothing more to teach this team."
Liu Erlong looked at him.
"When did I say you were responsible?"
Yu Xiaogang nearly choked on his breath.
He was originally waiting for Liu Erlong to say, "That's not what I meant."
Even a slight attempt to persuade him to stay would have given him a way out.
Yu Xiaogang felt panicked, but he quickly reassured himself.
It doesn't matter.
She's just being stubborn.
As long as I play the card of quitting the academy, she will definitely be scared.
So, Yu Xiaogang raised his head and adopted a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky.
Sunlight fell on his wrinkled face, and he felt that this angle must be very imposing.
" Er Long, since you're so determined to go your own way and won't listen to my heartfelt advice, then I, Yu Xiaogang, will no longer play along!"
He deliberately emphasized his words.
"If Tang San and Mu Bai cannot join the official team, I will withdraw from the Blue Tyrant Academy!"
"From this day forward, we are severing all ties and will have no further connection whatsoever!"
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang stood still, motionless.
He's waiting.
As long as I say those words, Liu Erlong will definitely panic.
Then, she would run over, grab her hand, and beg her to stay, crying, before finally giving up her spot in the competition.
This is how he manipulates women.
Yu Xiaogang appeared calm and collected, but secretly glanced at Liu Erlong's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Su Chen almost lost his composure upon hearing this.
Goodness!
This old eunuch was not only physically ruined, but his brain had also gone scrambled.
They're still putting on this dramatic show of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
Do you really think the current Liu Erlong is the same naive and innocent girl who was completely infatuated with him before?
Ning Rongrong nudged Xiao Wu's arm.
" Sister Xiao Wu, did you hear that?"
"The old eunuch said he wanted to leave the academy."
Xiao Wu picked at her ear.
"I heard that too. Is there really such a good thing?"
Ning Rongrong quickly covered her mouth.
It wasn't covered up.
Laughter still escaped her lips.
Yu Xiaogang's temple twitched, but he resisted the urge to turn around.
He couldn't argue with two little girls.
The most important thing now is Liu Erlong.
As long as Liu Erlong asks him to stay, he will still have a way out.
I waited a few seconds.
It was eerily quiet; not even the wind bothered to blow a breeze for him.
Yu Xiaogang's heart began to sink.
Something's not right.
Something is very wrong.
Tang San clearly noticed his teacher's embarrassment.
He immediately stood up; no matter what, he was always the first person to stand beside the teacher.
"Teacher, wherever you go, Tang San will follow."
A glimmer of light finally appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
The Tang San is the most sensible one!
Tang San turned around and looked coldly at Liu Erlong and Su Chen.
"Since Blue Tyrant Academy can't accommodate my teacher, then there's no need for me to stay any longer."
"Well said!"
Dai Mubai couldn't stand this humiliation any longer, so he stepped forward and stood beside Tang San.
"If you Tang San leave, I'll leave too!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
" Oscar, Fatty."
The two of them froze for a moment.
Ma Hongjun was already cursing under his breath.
no.
Why are we here again?
He was whipped dozens of times today and didn't even have time to go back to his dorm to change his clothes. Now he might not even have a dorm anymore?
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance.
The expressions on their faces were subtle.
To be honest, they really didn't want to leave. The college had food, drink, and a place to sleep; where would they go if they left?
But Tang San and Dai Mubai have both stated their intentions; if they don't follow, how will they survive in the future?
So the two of them chose the safest option.
Shut up.
They neither said they would leave, nor that they would stay.
Let's wait and see.
Flender watched this scene unfold, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.
He rushed over and grabbed Yu Xiaogang's arm.
" Yu Xiaogang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If we lose the game, we lose. So what if I'm a substitute for now?"
"There will be other opportunities to adjust later; there's no need to leave the academy because of this."
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he shook off his hand.
" Flender, you also think I'm wrong?"
Flender was speechless.
" Yu Xiaogang, that's not what I meant."
"So what do you mean?"
Flender was so anxious he was wringing his hands; to be honest, he really wanted to explode.
" Yu Xiaogang, where are you taking the children now?"
"Have you found a place to stay? What about your continued training? What about qualifying for the competition?"
This series of questions made Yu Xiaogang's face even more unpleasant.
" Flender, I know exactly what I'm doing."
Yu Xiaogang said through gritted teeth.
"Even if we can't participate in the competition, we're not going to stay here and put up with this kind of bullying."
"Do you expect me to just stand by and watch my students be ostracized and do nothing?"
Flender was so angry he slapped his thigh.
" Yu Xiaogang, are you stupid!"
Yu Xiaogang crossed his arms and looked at Liu Erlong again.
He has already used all his resources to bind Tang San and Dai Mubai to his chariot.
He simply couldn't believe that Liu Erlong would really be willing to let so many "geniuses" go.
All eyes were on Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong raised his head, looked at Yu Xiaogang's self-righteous face, and suddenly smiled.
But that smile, no matter how you looked at it, had a hint of mockery.
"Are you done talking?"
Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained tense.
" Er Long, what do you mean?"
Liu Erlong raised his hand and pointed to the exit of the playground.
What I mean is, if you're going to leave, then leave now.
"Don't stand here and waste everyone's time."
Yu Xiaogang's arrogant expression froze instantly, his face contorted as if he had just swallowed a dead fly.
"You... what did you say?" Yu Xiaogang stared at Liu Erlong in disbelief.
"You want to kick me out?"
"Did you stuff donkey hair in your ears?"
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes.
"You were the one who said you wanted to leave; I just agreed."
" Blue Tyrant Academy is too small to accommodate someone as big as you, alright?"
Yu Xiaogang swayed, his face as white as paper.
The script is wrong!
Why didn't she play by the rules? Shouldn't she have cried and clung to my leg, begging me to stay?
" Er Long, you... you can't do this to me!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled slightly.
Liu Erlong looked at him and found it somewhat laughable.
How have I treated you?
"You were the one who said you wanted to leave; I was just granting your wish."
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Do we really have to leave?
Tang San's expression grew increasingly grim as he saw his teacher speechless.
" Er Long, you'd better think this through."
He took a step forward, his tone threatening.
"If we leave, Blue Tyrant Academy will lose more than just a few students; it will lose a team that is qualified to compete for the championship!"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Su Chen walked to the center of the field.
"Well said! In all my years, I have never seen such a shameless person."
He pointed at Tang San.
" Little San, based on how you were beaten up on the ground just now, who gave you the courage to brag like this?"
Tang San's face turned ashen.
"You!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
Su Chen didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.
"If you're going to leave, you'd better hurry up and get out of here."
"If I had just been beaten to a pulp, I would definitely be too embarrassed to stand here and brag."
"If you don't leave, I'm even thinking of kicking you out on behalf of Er Long."
He counted on his fingers, pointing to each person opposite him one by one.
"A Master of Theory can't even break through level 30."
"A worthless Blue Silver Grass."
"A sick cat that got taken down in three seconds on the field."
"And there's also a chicken being chased and whipped by a little girl."
Every time Su Chen spoke, the face opposite him darkened further.
Especially Ma Hongjun!
Damn it, what did he say again?!
He didn't utter a single coherent word from beginning to end, so why is he always the one getting scolded?
Ning Rongrong laughed so hard she nearly fell over.
Xiao Wu picked up the conversation, speaking of Yin and Yang.
"Isn't that right?"
"I don't know what kind of bags you have, they can hold so much?"
Yu Xiaogang was so angry at Su Chen and Xiao Wu's back-and-forth that he trembled all over, pointing a shaky finger at Su Chen.
"You brat... you brat, you've gone too far!"
puff!!!
Enraged, Yu Xiaogang's blood pressure spiked, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Flender was startled and quickly helped him up.
" Yu Xiaogang!"
Tang San's expression also changed.
"Teacher!"
Yu Xiaogang pushed their hands away, swayed to his feet, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
He placed his last hope in Flender.
" Flender."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was hoarse.
Flender's heart tightened. " Yu Xiaogang, let's go back first, we can talk about it there."
Yu Xiaogang did not answer.
He stared at Flender and repeated it.
Are you coming with me or not?
