Look How Cocky You Are

Ning Rongrong stood there, listening to Tang San's heartfelt words from beginning to end.

She thought to herself,

"In the previous life, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered such a terrible attack that only a portion of its members survived thanks to Tang San's Hidden Weapon."

"Then we must take the Hidden Weapon back to show Dad."

She lowered her arms, her tone softening slightly. "Did you make all these Hidden Weapon yourself?"

Tang San nodded.

"That's right. I made all these Hidden Weapon. They came from the Tang Sect. Of course, right now I'm the only one left in the Tang Sect."

He paused for a moment, then added, "But there will be more in the future."

Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on the wooden box, pausing for a moment.

She reached out and took the wooden box, rummaged through it, and picked up the Mechanism Crossbow inside, turning it over and over again. "How do you use these Hidden Weapon? Teach me. I'll take them back and show them to my father."

Tang San walked to her side, took the Godly Zhuge Crossbow out of the wooden box, and placed his fingers on the Mechanical Trigger.

"Look closely. This is called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. It's the easiest to use and has the highest attack power."

He raised the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, aimed it at the Old Locust Tree beside him, and pulled the Mechanical Trigger.

The crossbow bolt shot out of its case at incredible speed, piercing right through the tree.

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard, gaining a clear understanding of the attack power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

"Normally, Soul Elder would be severely injured, if not killed, by such an arrow."

Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow.

She took the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from Tang San and mimicked his movements.

Tang San offered a few pointers from the side.

How to cock the bow, how to load the arrow, how to engage the Mechanical Trigger, how to change the cassette.

Ning Rongrong practiced those movements several times. On the last time, she pulled the Mechanical Trigger, and the crossbow bolt drove into the trunk of the Old Locust Tree on the other side.

She withdrew her hand, placed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow back into the wooden box, and dusted off her hands. "When I get home, I'll tell my father about this immediately."

Tang San nodded. He closed the lid of the wooden box and pushed it in front of Ning Rongrong: "Okay."

Ning Rongrong stored all the Hidden Weapon into her Storage Soul Tool, nodded in Tang San's direction, turned around, and walked towards the academy gate.

Tang San stood under the porch, watching that figure disappear through the doorway.

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can buy this batch of Hidden Weapon, then the Tang Sect's reputation will be firmly established."

"That old bastard Flender is still chasing me for money to buy that Yellow Crystal every month, which has left me dirt poor."

"When Ning Fengzhi arrives, give me several million Gold Soul Coin, and I'll bury that old bastard in money!"

Ning Rongrong went home, while the others continued their classes at the Shrek Academy.

The seven of them entered the classroom together.

The classroom was small, with several long tables arranged neatly, and a few people were already seated in the row by the window.

Just as Ye Lin stepped across the threshold, a gruff voice rang out from the back of the classroom.

"Tang San! You shameless bastard, do you still want to sit next to Xiao Wu? Get the hell out of here!"

Ye Lin looked up.

In the back row of the classroom, against the wall, a very muscular boy was standing up from his chair.

His two arms were as thick as small tree trunks, and he stood there looking like an upright gorilla.

Xiao Wu tugged at Ye Lin's hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "That guy's name is Tai Long. His Martial Soul is Mighty Ape. He keeps confessing his feelings to me, saying he likes me, it's so annoying! I've told him to get lost so many times, but he's like a leech, I can't get rid of him."

She paused for a moment and looked at the person in front of her.

"But thankfully Tang San helped me stop him."

The two of them would fight from time to time. Basically, neither could gain the upper hand.

"Tai Long is strong and has high defense. Tang San is fast but has low attack power."

Ye Lin was naturally aware that Xiao Wu was liked by Tai Long; there were countless people in the academy who coveted Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

Xiao Wu is not only very beautiful, but also has long, jet-black hair and a figure that surpasses the golden ratio. Who wouldn't take a second look at her?

Needless to say, Zhu Zhuqing's stunning figure makes her stand out as an ice queen in this setting.

Ning Rongrong gives off a girl-next-door vibe, especially considering her background in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

While Xiao Wu was explaining,

Tai Long immediately realized that something was wrong.

Ye Lin stood half a step to Xiao Wu's side, Xiao Wu hand holding his; the two were very close.

Tai Long's pupils contracted slightly. He stared at Ye Lin for a couple of moments, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Although Tang San was her rival, Xiao Wu never paid him any attention, just as Xiao Wu paid no attention to him.

There was absolutely no pressure.

This newcomer was different; he sensed a strong sense of crisis.

Tai Long strode to the door, pointed his finger at Ye Lin's nose, and raised his voice even louder than before.

"Get out of my way! No one is allowed around Xiao Wu! If anyone is allowed, it can only be me! Is this your first day here? Don't you know the rules?!"

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow.

"Where did you come from, you toad? You have quite the nerve."

He paused for a moment, then raised the hand that was resting at his side, placed it on Xiao Wu's waist, and tightened his grip.

"Xiao Wu is mine. What does she have to do with you?"

Xiao Wu was very annoyed by these harassing people, Ye Lin thought it best to get rid of them all at once today so that no one would bother Xiao Wu in the future.

Xiao Wu was pulled half a step closer to him by his arm, but she didn't struggle; the corners of her mouth even curved slightly.

Tai Long's pupils contracted.

He stared at Ye Lin's hand resting on Xiao Wu's waist, his teeth grinding together.

The students sitting in the rows in the classroom all quieted down.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun sat behind the long table by the window, watching the commotion.

Tai Long snorted coldly.

"I am the top student in the academy. You have two choices. One, get out of here. Two, defeat me, and I will acknowledge your qualifications."

He clenched his fist tighter. "I won't bully you. I won't use my third Soul Skill."

Ye Lin looked at him and said calmly, "I won't bully you. I don't use my Martial Soul."

Tai Long paused for a moment, then grinned.

"Look how arrogant you've become!"

He took a step back, spread his feet apart, and lowered his center of gravity.

The Mighty Ape Martial Soul Possession.

He shrugged, and the muscles in his arms and chest swelled up instantly, stretching his school uniform sleeves taut.

Three Spirit Ring, one yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet.

He beckoned to Ye Lin with his finger. "Come on, you go first."

Ye Lin moved in that instant.

He pushed off with his feet and flashed towards Tai Long, moving so fast that he was just a blur.

Tai Long still had a smile on his face, but seeing Ye Lin's speed, he immediately felt relieved.

"So, she's an agility-based Soul Master? She's utterly vulnerable."
