Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing began beating Dai Mubai.
However, they ultimately held back. They didn't go for the kill or cripple Dai Mubai.
After today, as long as Dai Mubai rested well and received proper treatment, he would likely recover from his injuries in just a few months!
At that moment,
a sound began to ring in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, marking the time for her Black Grade quest.
One breath, two breaths, ... ...
Nearby, Ma Hongjun watched the scene with horror written all over his face. He lowered his voice and said to his companions, "I'm going to get Dean Flender!"
Chapter 42: Self-Created Soul Skill, Brutal Power of Lust
After speaking quietly, Ma Hongjun hurried away in a panic to find Dean Flender.
"This is insane, completely insane. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong actually beat Boss Dai senseless!" Ma Hongjun muttered as he sprinted off.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar were all silent, staring blankly at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as they continued to teach Dai Mubai a lesson.
According to the terms of the earlier Soul Fighting Wager, no one was allowed to interfere!
Everything Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were doing now fell within the bounds of the Soul Fighting Wager.
Everyone accepted the outcome, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
Nearby, Oscar looked as if he'd eaten shit.
Although he didn't want Ning Rongrong to serve Dai Mubai,
he was even less willing to see Boss Dai lose this Soul Fighting match and be trampled underfoot.
If Boss Dai won, at least Oscar could bask in his glory and get a taste of the benefits.
But now, he wouldn't get any benefits, and Ning Rongrong would look down on him forever...
Oscar couldn't help clenching his fists, his expression dark.
Tang San, on the other hand, was doing all right.
He hadn't been at Shrek Academy for long, so he wasn't deeply attached to everyone yet.
Besides, when he first came to Shrek Academy, he and Dai Mubai had already gotten into a fight over a dispute at a hotel.
Clever Tang San never picked sides.
He remained neutral, careful not to offend Ning Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her, or Dai Mubai and Shrek Academy behind him.
Ma Hongjun had gone to find Dean Flender.
With the dean's terrifying Soul Saint cultivation, he would surely be able to handle this properly.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's beating of Dai Mubai soon reached fifty breaths.
At the same time, a voice rang out in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
"Congratulations on overcoming your heart's knot, Dai Mubai, and giving him a beating to vent the emotions you've been bottling up for so long."
"You now have enough strength to establish yourself on Douluo Continent. Please welcome your new life!"
"Black Grade quest completed!"
"Random Black Grade reward: one Self-Created Soul Skill Card for 'Brutal Power of Lust' (for your use only). Inject a trace of Soul Power into the card to master it automatically!"
"Brutal Power of Lust: Upon use, all of your lustful desires will be converted into energy! Soul Skill damage increases by 150%, attack damage increases by 100%, and movement speed increases by 100%. Duration: half an hour!"
"However, it has a drawback. After using it, your lust will increase dramatically!! It will last for 24 hours!"
As the voice rang out,
the Black-Grade Mission Card in Zhu Zhuqing's arms floated up on its own, releasing a brilliant, invisible black glow in midair.
When the black light faded,
it was replaced by a golden card that looked as if it were made entirely of pure gold.
It was square, with sharp corners, and about the size of a book.
"So this is my reward—the Self-Created Soul Skill Card for Brutal Power of Lust?"
Zhu Zhuqing reached out and took the Soul Skill Card.
She truly hadn't expected that she could learn a Self-Created Soul Skill by using a Soul Skill Card.
And this Self-Created Soul Skill seemed a little improper.
Releasing the Soul Skill would convert all her lustful desires into energy and greatly increase her combat power!
However, after using it, her lust would remain heightened for an entire day!
Ning Rongrong moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing and asked gently, "Zhuqing, what reward did you get this time?"
"Rongrong, my reward is..." Zhu Zhuqing explained what she had received.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong wore a mischievous smile and joked, "Then, Zhuqing, after you use this Self-Created Soul Skill, will you become incredibly needy, yearning for a man's affection?"
"If you ever do use this Self-Created Soul Skill, I'll make sure to bring Boss Li Haiyun over for you!"
At that, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty cheeks turned scarlet. She exhaled softly and said, "Forget it. Maybe I shouldn't learn this Self-Created Soul Skill Card after all!"
Hearing that, Ning Rongrong immediately grew serious and said earnestly, "All right, Zhuqing, I won't tease you anymore!"
"This Self-Created Soul Skill can obviously help you defeat your enemies at a critical moment. It's a trump card that could save your life!"
"Learn it! You have to learn it! You can never have too many skills!"
"But just don't use it unless you're in a critical situation!"
"Although, hehe, if you really need a man to keep you company, I think Boss Li Haiyun would be a good choice!"
Ning Rongrong had looked serious at first, but by the end, she was grinning mischievously again.
Zhu Zhuqing thought she made a lot of sense.
She had always been decisive. Once she made up her mind, she acted without hesitation!
"All right, Rongrong. I think you're right!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "You can never have too many skills. I'll learn this Self-Created Soul Skill and save it for when I have no other choice!"
"Exactly, exactly. You're right, Zhuqing!" Ning Rongrong said with a relieved smile.
Then,
Zhu Zhuqing held the golden Soul Skill Card in her left hand and injected a trace of Soul Power into it with her right.
At once,
the card blazed with brilliant golden light, then transformed into a mysterious energy that surged into Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
"Mm!"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help letting out a soft moan. Information about the Self-Created Soul Skill, Brutal Power of Lust, poured into her mind and churned through it.
She was grasping the Self-Created Soul Skill as quickly as she could.
"The black card turned gold, then became a mass of golden energy and flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's body."
"What was that?"
From a short distance away, Tang San watched intently, his face filled with confusion.
He vaguely sensed that it had a great deal to do with Zhu Zhuqing suddenly having two Purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Just then,
Oscar could no longer hold back and asked directly, "Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, what are you doing?"
Hearing him, Ning Rongrong turned to look at Oscar.
Out of the corner of her eye, she also noticed that Tang San and Xiao Wu were watching her with curious expressions.
Clearly, they wanted to understand the secret behind it all.
In response,
Ning Rongrong was quite forthcoming and said, "A shop opened in Suotuo City called the Quest Card Shop. The owner is Li Haiyun."
"Whatever you want to know, whatever you want to learn, you'll find it there!"
Li Haiyun's Quest Card Shop wasn't some secret establishment. More and more people were already learning of its existence.
Even without Ning Rongrong saying anything, Shrek Academy would sooner or later take notice of the Quest Card Shop.
She told them outright for two reasons.
First, she had promised to help Boss Li promote the shop.
Second, she was doing Tang San and the others a small favor.
Besides, knowing the Quest Card Shop existed wouldn't help them anyway!
Each Mission Card cost ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Ning Rongrong was sure Shrek Academy couldn't afford one.
Clever Ning Rongrong had factored all of this into her calculations.
Elsewhere,
inside an exquisitely furnished dean's lounge at Shrek Academy,
Dean Flender wore an impatient expression as he looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "Hongjun, what are you panicking about? What trouble have you caused now? Can't you wait until I've had enough sleep to tell me?!"
ps: Good night, good afternoon, good morning, everyone! Wishing you a wonderful and happy new day! Thanks for your support. I've added an extra chapter today! Please keep supporting me!!
Chapter 43: Flender Protects His Own
Seeing Ma Hongjun in such a frantic state, and having been woken up in the middle of a sound sleep,
Flender's morning temper flared.
"Something terrible has happened, Dean Flender!" Ma Hongjun cried, his face flushed.
"Ma Hongjun, get to the point. What terrible thing happened?" Dean Flender asked irritably, then flicked him hard on the forehead with his middle finger.
"Ow!" Ma Hongjun felt a sharp pain in his forehead and quickly covered it with his chubby hand. Then he said anxiously, "Dai Mubai, Boss Dai, something terrible has happened to him!!"
"What happened? Get to the point!" Flender said, his expression dark.
"H-he, Boss Dai, he's been beaten senseless!!"
"Beaten senseless? Who did it to him?! Explain clearly!"
Ma Hongjun was so anxious he could barely get his words out. He hurriedly continued, "It—it was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong!"
"Those two sisters returned to the academy and beat Dai Mubai. They even trampled on him and humiliated Boss Dai!!"
"Dean, hurry and save Boss Dai!!"
"What!" Dean Flender shot up from the bed, furious. "Hongjun, are you telling the truth? Where are they now?"
"Dean, everything I said is true. Tang San and Oscar are watching nearby; they can vouch for me!" Ma Hongjun said anxiously. "They're on the track not far from the academy's main gate!!"
"Hurry and save Boss Dai. If you're not quick, he'll be a goner!!"
"Damn it!!!" Flender swore, his wedge-shaped face darkening further.
"I'll go see!"
After dropping those words, Dean Flender left the lounge. He took a single step, and a pair of enormous wings spread from his back as feathers instantly covered his entire body.
Flender, who looked like a birdman, took flight and headed for the place where Dai Mubai was being beaten.
Meanwhile,
inside the Quest Card Shop in Suotuo City,
Li Haiyun was lounging on a rocking chair, waiting for customers to come buy Mission Cards, when a sound suddenly rang in his mind.
"Zhu Zhuqing has successfully defeated Dai Mubai and beaten him up, completing the Black Grade quest!"
"Zhu Zhuqing received: one Self-Created Soul Skill Card for 'Brutal Power of Lust'!"
