Lin Fan proposed the idea.
"Fine..."
Zhu Zhuqing thought it over and nodded in agreement.
She had seen Lin Fan's strength clearly before; with his Spirit King cultivation and five incredibly monstrous spirit rings, he was more than qualified to instruct a twenty-seventh-level Great Spirit Master like her.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went to the small garden behind the hotel. Lin Fan and Zhu Zhuqing took their stances to prepare for the spar, while Xiao Wu sat to the side, munching on a carrot as she watched.
"Come on, give it your all!"
Lin Fan didn't need to remind her; Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of holding back. Two spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet as her Nether Civet spirit manifested behind her.
Her originally bright eyes transformed into heterochromatic cat-like pupils, and her fingernails extended into sharp claws. Her entire appearance became somewhat more bewitching, possessing an exotic allure.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing arched her back, poised and ready like a cat stalking its prey.
Her leaning forward was one thing, but Lin Fan, standing opposite her, nearly sprayed a nosebleed and swallowed hard.
So white, so deep...
"You lecher!"
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed red. Her figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind several afterimages. When she reappeared, she was already in front of Lin Fan, her sharp claws swiping directly toward his lower region!
"You naughty little kitten, are you trying to make yourself a widow for the rest of your life?!"
Lin Fan felt a chill in his groin and hurriedly sidestepped to dodge her attack.
"You're too mischievous; you need to be punished!"
The moment they brushed past each other, the intoxicating, fresh scent of a young girl made Lin Fan's heart flutter. He spun around and brought his palm down heavily onto Zhu Zhuqing's shapely backside!
Smack!
Lin Fan hadn't used any spirit power, but the force was significant enough that even Xiao Wu, sitting quite a distance away, heard the sound. Zhu Zhuqing's entire body stumbled from the impact.
"You!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was like a ripe apple, filled with both anger and embarrassment.
"First Spirit Skill: Nether Thrust!"
Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and shouted. Her body instantly lunged forward, her sharp claws cutting through the air with a piercing, whistling sound.
Clang!
Unfortunately, when that incredibly cool attack landed on Lin Fan, it produced a sound like metal clashing against metal.
Moreover, because Zhu Zhuqing had used too much force, she ended up crashing directly into Lin Fan's arms.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender waist.
The two locked eyes, their breaths mingling. Lin Fan could even feel the rapid thumping of Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
"You lecher! Nether Hundred Claws!"
Having been teased time and again, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was in turmoil. In a fit of pique, she unleashed her second spirit skill, sending hundreds of claw shadows scratching toward Lin Fan's handsome face.
It would be a pity if such a handsome face were disfigured!
However, the moment she struck, Zhu Zhuqing regretted it.
In terms of looks alone, Lin Fan was definitely the most handsome man she had ever seen. More importantly, he possessed a unique temperament, especially the curve of his lips when he smiled—a charm no young girl could easily resist.
But when Zhu Zhuqing's attack landed on Lin Fan, it passed straight through him.
"Such speed!"
Seeing the phantom image dissipate before her, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.
While she couldn't compare to Lin Fan in terms of raw strength, as an agility-type spirit master, she had always been confident in her speed.
During his previous battle with Dai Mubai, Lin Fan had displayed his powerful physical strength and spirit power, but he hadn't shown his speed, which had given Zhu Zhuqing the illusion that he was slow.
"Zhuqing, at times, my speed is even faster. We can explore that when we have the chance..."
Lin Fan said with a grin.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face and snow-white neck. Combined with her flushed cheeks, perfect figure, and heaving chest, she exuded a unique, captivating temptation.
"Hmph, I'm not fighting you anymore. Sparring with you doesn't help me improve my strength at all!"
Zhu Zhuqing walked over to a nearby pavilion in a huff, sat down, crossed her arms, and turned her head away, refusing to look at Lin Fan.
Their battle felt more like flirting; the constant physical contact combined with Lin Fan's teasing words made it impossible for a young girl like Zhu Zhuqing, who was just beginning to understand love, to keep her composure.
How could she focus on improving her strength when her own heart was in such a flutter?
"This kind of sparring is too slow for improvement. If we change our method of training, I can help you increase your spirit power by 5 levels in a single day!"
Lin Fan said, his tone as seductive as a wolf in grandmother's clothing trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood.
"Are you trying to trick a child? What kind of training method could possibly increase someone's spirit power by 5 levels in a day?!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe a single word of what Lin Fan said.
In truth, one couldn't blame her. If Lin Fan were truly capable of such a feat, even Titled Douluo powerhouses would be lining up to kneel before him and beg to be his disciples!
"Xiao Wu, you explain it to her."
Lin Fan shrugged. Having experienced it firsthand and benefited from it, Xiao Wu seemed to have more authority on the matter.
Xiao Wu nodded, then leaned over to whisper in Zhu Zhuqing's ear, her pretty face flushing crimson...
"Xiao Wu, are you telling the truth?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's lovely face turned as red as the sunset clouds on the horizon. Her voice was filled with shock and disbelief; Xiao Wu's words had completely overturned her understanding of the world!
If men and women could improve their strength by doing that sort of thing, then that scumbag Dai Mubai wouldn't have been sent flying by a single punch from Lin Fan!
"I found it hard to believe at first too, but it really is true!"
Xiao Wu released her martial soul, and the two yellow and one purple spirit rings beneath her feet were exceptionally eye-catching!
Hoo!
Zhu Zhuqing let out a long breath. She had always considered her own cultivation talent to be outstanding, having reached level 27 at the age of twelve!
Xiao Wu was only a few months older than her, yet her spirit power had already reached over level 30. Could it be that what Lin Fan said was true?
"In the entire Douluo Continent, only I, Lin Fan, possess this ability. I don't help just anyone, and most women really don't catch my eye!"
Lin Fan looked smug.
Zhu Zhuqing actually agreed with this point. Although Lin Fan was also a lecherous rogue, he clearly had higher standards!
Back at the hotel, the twin sisters Dai Mubai had brought along were quite beautiful in both face and figure, yet Lin Fan hadn't even glanced at them once!
If nothing else, Zhu Zhuqing was still very confident in her own figure and appearance!
However, because of Dai Mubai's betrayal, Zhu Zhuqing had built up defenses and wariness toward men in her heart. It was impossible for her to accept another man in such a short time, let alone engage in the intimacies of a couple!
Even though she did have a fair amount of affection for Lin Fan.
"Zhuqing, don't worry, I won't force you. I, Lin Fan, am confident that one day you will willingly become my woman!"
Seeing the atmosphere grow somewhat silent, Lin Fan walked over to Zhu Zhuqing's side and stared into her pretty face as he spoke.
Lin Fan's expression was incredibly earnest, devoid of his usual playful lack of seriousness. It was as if he were making a vow—resounding and powerful!
Faced with such a serious Lin Fan, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback for a moment, then slowly lowered her head. She didn't know what to say.
"How about this: there is a Soto Grand Arena in Soto City with matches every day. Why don't the three of us form a team and go there for some real combat? What do you think?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and found a compromise.
As long as Zhu Zhuqing stayed by his side, Lin Fan was confident he could win her over; it was only a matter of time. Besides, he himself quite enjoyed the process of pursuing a girl.
"Yes, yes! That's perfect to test out my newly acquired spirit ring skill!"
"If I stay in the hotel every day, my body is going to give out!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Xiao Wu was the first to express her stance, casting a resentful glance at Lin Fan.
Can I really be blamed for that? Who told you to be so charming!
Lin Fan couldn't help but grumble to himself. Although Xiao Wu was young, her development was on par with, if not better than, nineteen or twenty-year-old women back on Earth!
Especially those long legs—white, tender, and straight. The feeling of having them draped over his shoulders was beyond description!
"Fine, then let's go register right now!"
Zhu Zhuqing also accepted Lin Fan's proposal.
The Soto Grand Arena was not far from the Rose Hotel, and the three of them arrived after walking for about ten minutes!
From a distance, a massive structure appeared before their eyes, reaching over a hundred meters in height—it was magnificent!
Once inside, even Lin Fan couldn't help but feel shocked. The interior of the arena was incredibly spacious, with row upon row of seats packed so densely that it could accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people at once!
"Hit him! Yes, smash his head hard!"
"Go, Iron Blood Team! I bet ten gold spirit coins on you!"
"Damn it, how can they be so useless? My twenty gold spirit coins are gone—that was my entire fortune!"
The spectator stands were already packed, and the sounds of noise rose and fell, with some people rejoicing and others lamenting.
Matches in the arena were divided into two modes: one was a sparring type, where the fight stopped at a point of contact.
The other was a no-rules type, where once you stepped onto the arena stage, the attacks wouldn't stop unless one party died or the opponent showed mercy!
The three of them first watched the no-rules arena for a while. Before long, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's faces turned pale, and they patted their chests with their delicate hands.
Ah!
Wails echoed continuously from the arena. On the stage, a man in his twenties had already had one of his arms hacked off, blood flowing all over the ground!
Yet his opponent had no intention of letting him go. With a savage grin on his face, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed the man again and again until he completely lost his breath!
Even Lin Fan found it difficult to adapt to such a bloody scene!
Although he had lived two lives, Lin Fan had never killed a person with his own hands. Seeing this kind of scene for the first time, it was inevitable that he would feel nauseated and fearful!
However, Lin Fan understood that from the moment he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he was destined to adapt to this kind of scene. Because if you don't kill others, the one who dies will be you!
Of course, this required a gradual process.
"Let's go, we'll head over there to register."
After steadying his mind, Lin Fan led Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to the sparring registration desk.
However, halfway there, Lin Fan pulled the two women to a stop, a smirk playing on his lips!
Because a familiar figure had appeared ahead: Tang San!
Besides Tang San, that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang was there, along with a stout, lecherous-looking fatty and a tall, thin youth with white hair.
Those two guys must be Ma Hongjun and Oscar!
Lin Fan had guessed correctly; after Tang Hao took Tang San away, he hadn't kept him by his side, but instead had him continue his training with the Master!
Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, Tang San had naturally teamed up with Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
As for why Dai Mubai wasn't there, Lin Fan knew better than anyone; he hadn't held back his strikes earlier, and even with Dai Mubai's sturdy physique, it would be impossible for him to fully recover in less than half a month!
Wait, the Shrek Seven Devils... it seems someone is missing... Ning Rongrong!
Lin Fan suddenly realized something!
Both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had been intercepted by him, and only Ning Rongrong had yet to appear.
Rongrong must not have arrived at Shrek Academy yet, otherwise, she would definitely be participating in the soul fighting tournament together with them. It seems I'll have to find an opportunity...!
Lin Fan already had a plan forming in his mind!
The three beauties of Shrek each had their own merits, and as for their looks, it went without saying that they were all top-tier stunners!
Xiao Wu's legs, Zhu Zhuqing's youthful face and voluptuous figure—according to the original story, Ning Rongrong was supposed to be a quirky, elf-like girl with a bit of a spoiled princess temperament.
The mere thought of such a top-tier beauty marrying Oscar was something Lin Fan found hard to accept!
Although Oscar looked decent enough, he was far inferior compared to him!
