Accidental Encounter with Canghui Academy, Dai Mubai Beside Himself with Rage

Although surprised, Lin Yan was equally puzzled.

"That's 100%?"

"Why? Clearly it feels like Ning Rongrong likes me more than Zhu Zhuqing does, but why did Zhu Zhuqing's favorability reach 100% first?"

He began to compare the differences between the two girls in his mind.

At the very beginning, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both enrolled on the same day and got to know him on the same day. Their starting points were the same, and their initial favorability was both 30%.

Ever since he comforted Ning Rongrong that night, her favorability had risen to 70%.

After that was Ning Rongrong's confession, which rose to 99%.

As for Zhu Zhuqing...

Before last night, her favorability had always been 30%. Right up until she argued with Dai Mubai just now, at most she was just like Ning Rongrong, at 99%.

"Could it be because she completely broke ties with Dai Mubai?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yan suddenly wore a trace of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is. Successfully conquering a female lead means making a clean and total break with her original-timeline partner!"

"Haha!"

"This isn't called conquering a female lead; this is called breaking up the female lead!"

Figuring out the completion rules of the system task, Lin Yan only felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"As long as I sort out the train of thought, it'll be easy to handle. Isn't it just breaking up female leads! I'm way too good at this!"

"Next, as long as I create an opportunity to make Ning Rongrong completely lose interest in Oscar, or even become disgusted with him, then I can claim another reward."

In the team, everyone's emotions were somewhat low right now because of the argument between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, except for Lin Yan...

He was like a man with no cares at all, a faint smile always hanging on the corner of his lips. Fortunately, everyone's focus wasn't on him, otherwise it really wouldn't have been easy to explain.

"I wonder what reward conquering Zhu Zhuqing will give? What Talisman?"

"Forget it, I don't know if claiming items will cause a commotion. Better wait and talk about it later."

Time quickly arrived at evening.

Just like in the original timeline, everyone came to an inn planning to rest for a bit.

Then, starting with Ma Hongjun's provocative chatting up of others, a few of them had a direct conflict with Canghui Academy.

Only, the situation right now was a bit different...

In the original timeline, the ones fighting Canghui Academy were seven people. Under Ning Rongrong's support, several of them cooperated with tacit understanding, beating the opponents to a pulp. In the end, Yezhiqiu's appearance quieted the battle.

Yet now, not only did Ning Rongrong not give the others support, but Zhu Zhuqing also chose to stand by and watch because of Ma Hongjun's and Dai Mubai's condescending attitudes toward women.

In other words, not counting Oscar, the ones actually fighting Canghui Academy right now were Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu.

Four against seven—no matter how much of a genius Dai Mubai and the others were, at their current age and rank, they were still afraid of being ganged up on by the opposite side.

Although they won with difficulty in the end, everyone's faces also wore various colorful bruises.

The big battle ended, and the students of Canghui Academy supported each other as they left the inn. Dai Mubai's group also retreated back to the dining table.

As soon as he came back, Dai Mubai aggressively targeted Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong, why didn't you support me just now?"

Ning Rongrong leaned in Lin Yan's embrace, facing Dai Mubai's angry interrogation without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and replied casually.

"What business is it of yours?"

"You and Ma Hongjun were the ones who actively provoked them, what does that have to do with me? I never said I wanted to fight."

Actually, Ning Rongrong saw that Lin Yan didn't make a move, which was why she didn't make a move either. But now Dai Mubai questioned her just like interrogating a prisoner, so naturally a rebellious psychology arose in Ning Rongrong, and she insisted on sticking out her neck and going against Dai Mubai.

Cold light spat from Dai Mubai's pupils.

"What do you know?"

"Shrek's school motto is: Those who dare not make trouble are mediocrities."

"The students of Canghui Academy are all peers. With such a good whetstone laid out before us, we should actively provoke and fight with them. Only in this way can we grow stronger step by step."

His tone was full of taking things for granted.

For so many years, Dai Mubai had always gotten by like this. To put it nicely, it was called looking everywhere for whetstones for oneself; to put it harshly, it was actually being overbearing and arrogant, biting whoever he caught.

The naturally intelligent Ning Rongrong naturally understood this point.

Only to see the young lady emit a sneer...

"Ridiculous, the one who needs honing is you, what does it have to do with me?"

"You're the one playing the hooligan yet you still look for a high-sounding excuse."

"If you really think fighting is a honing experience for you, then you wouldn't be running over to interrogate me right now."

"And... in the face of failure, your first reaction wasn't to reflect and summarize, but instead to shift the reason for failure onto someone else first?"

"Tsk~ No wonder Zhu Zhuqing said this morning that you're good for nothing!"

Different from Ning Rongrong's gradually introverted personality in the original work, with Lin Yan's intervention, the little witch hadn't taken in the slightest bit of Flender's previous PUA negative buff.

Simply put, the Ning Rongrong in the original work was a pendant craving friendship, while the current Ning Rongrong was her true self.

Her nature liberated, that little mouth of hers was like it had been quenched with poison, every single sentence piercing straight into Dai Mubai's heart.

Dai Mubai was already in an irritable mood because of his injuries, and right out in the open he was rebutted to the point of being battered beyond recognition, stripping away all his fig leaves. He instantly flew into a rage from humiliation.

"You... I'm warning you, others are afraid of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but I'm not."

Reaching this point, Dai Mubai once again completed his Martial Soul Avatar. He took a step out, his aura fully unleased, pointing straight at the bridge of Ning Rongrong's nose with two fingers joined together as he threatened.

"Provoke me! I'll kill you!"

As soon as these words came out, before Ning Rongrong could speak out in retort, Lin Yan, who was beside her, stepped out first.

"Dai Mubai!"

"Ning Rongrong is my girlfriend!"

At this moment, Lin Yan was still leaning in the chair by the dining table. Facing the two-meter-tall Dai Mubai in the Martial Soul Avatar state, he indeed appeared extremely weak.

Only... at the moment their heterochromatic and golden pupils locked gazes, Dai Mubai unconsciously felt a scorching and sacred presence burning his eyes, compelling him to look away.

"What's going on? Isn't this brat a Healing Soul Master? Why do I have a creepy feeling when locking gazes with him?"

This feeling came fast and went fast. After he averted his gaze, his eyes returned to normal once again.

Refusing to believe it, Dai Mubai rubbed his eyes, attempting to confront Lin Yan once more.

But right at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had remained silent all along at the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Actively provoking and then getting stuffed in the end, and even shifting the reason for failure onto a girl."

"Dai Mubai, in terms of incompetence you truly haven't let me down."

Leaving behind such a cold sentence, Zhu Zhuqing turned around and walked away...

How could the regained-his-senses Dai Mubai possibly let the matter rest.

Having already completed his Martial Soul Avatar, he made a gesture to grab Zhu Zhuqing. Then right at that moment, a thick, resonant voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

"Enough!"

"If you want to quarrel, wait until you return to the academy to quarrel. If you dare make any damn fuss while I'm leading the team for spirit hunting, don't blame me for being impolite."

Following the gaze, everyone saw that Zhao Wuji had already appeared at the side at some unknown time.
