A Death, an Injury, and Two Cripples

Ning Rongrong blocked Ning Xuan's path.

She was utterly disgusted.

"Ning Xuan, Dean Erlong has gone back to the clan. If you want to admit your mistake, go crawl to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan yourself."

"We're training now. Please leave!"

She really thought Ning Xuan was disgusting!

At first, he'd been the one clamoring to marry Liu Erlong and asking Dad to arrange an engagement for him. Then he'd been the one clamoring to break it off.

Now, who knew what had gotten into him?

Did he want to go to Dean Liu Erlong and admit his mistake, begging her to make up with him?

Was there something wrong with him?

What made him think everyone had to revolve around him?

"Rongrong, Xiao Xuan came to see you."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin saw that the mood was turning sour and hurriedly said with a wry smile.

"See me?"

Ning Rongrong sneered.

"Does he want me to go plead his case?"

She shot Ning Xuan a sidelong glance, the disgust in her eyes deepening.

"Ning Xuan, you can forget about it!"

"You made the mistake, so you can deal with it yourself. Don't expect me to clean up your mess. I'm not your dad."

At those words, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression instantly darkened.

The Shrek Seven Devils behind Ning Rongrong immediately burst into raucous laughter.

Even Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who had been looking away somewhat evasively after seeing Ning Xuan, couldn't help smiling at her words.

Watching Ning Xuan get savagely roasted by his own little sister-

and thinking that he might get to savage the fiancée of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Young Sect Master, too-

Yu Xiaogang felt a rush of pure bliss in his head.

It was simply exhilarating.

But the next moment, Ning Xuan slowly raised his hand and slapped Ning Rongrong straight across the face.

With a thud,

she landed hard a short distance from the training grounds.

Everyone stared in shock, including Sword Douluo Chen Xin. His Adam's apple bobbed for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Ning Rongrong struggled painfully to her feet.

She was stunned for a long time, too.

She couldn't understand how Ning Xuan, who in her eyes had always been nothing but a useless simp,

had dared to hit her.

"Ning Xuan, you good-for-nothing! How dare you hit me?"

Ning Xuan walked toward her again.

Without a word, he slapped her to the ground once more.

"Ning Rongrong, I'm your brother, not your father. I've already been more than patient with you."

"Next time!"

Ning Xuan's voice was cold.

"If you dare speak to me disrespectfully again, believe me, even Dad won't be able to protect you."

"Anyway, you don't want me as your brother."

"I'll just act like you don't exist, either!"

Ning Rongrong lay on the ground, her eyes wide with pain.

She still wanted to point at Ning Xuan and curse him out.

But for some reason, when she met his eyes again, she felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if, if she dared to say another word,

Ning Xuan might really kill her right there!

"I'll go back and tell Dad. Ning Xuan, you bullied me again."

She could only force the words out, holding back her anger.

"Right."

Ning Xuan suddenly smiled and slapped Ning Rongrong across her other cheek.

"You should speak to me like that-with respect."

"Then why did you hit me again?"

Ning Rongrong was already crying from the beating.

"Your face looked a little lopsided just now. It looks much better now."

Ning Xuan stood up with a cold laugh.

His gaze swept over the six remaining members of Shrek, one by one, his tone mocking.

"Ning Rongrong, take a look at this bunch of useless classmates of yours."

"You've been beaten this badly by a useless simp like me, and all they dare do is watch from the sidelines. They don't even dare say a word."

[System detected Ning Rongrong's anger. Emotional Value +200]

Hearing the system's voice, a mocking look also appeared on Ning Xuan's face.

He pointed at Ma Hongjun.

"You. Come out!"

Ma Hongjun froze. Alarm flashed across his chubby face, and he started to retreat.

"Weren't you so pleased with yourself when you were talking about me behind my back?"

Ning Xuan stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and hauled Ma Hongjun right out.

"Now I'm standing right in front of you."

"Come on, say what you just said again!"

"Ning Xuan, that's enough!"

Dai Mubai couldn't help speaking up.

"You just taught Rongrong a lesson. She's your little sister, so we couldn't say anything. But that doesn't mean you can bully the rest of us."

"That's right."

Oscar hurriedly stepped forward, too.

He had always liked Ning Rongrong, but Ning Xuan had stunned him just now, and now he wanted to quickly save face.

But Ning Xuan didn't even look at them.

He raised his hand and slapped Ma Hongjun, knocking him to the ground.

"Damn it, you good-for-nothing! You actually dare hit your Grandpa Ma?"

Ma Hongjun wasn't Ning Rongrong.

He rolled to his feet and roared.

At once, three Soul Rings circled him, and Ma Hongjun was about to release his Martial Soul.

But at that moment,

Ning Xuan's eyes flashed.

A pagoda radiating brilliant golden light descended from the sky and enveloped Ma Hongjun with a heavy slam.

It was Ning Xuan's Martial Soul-the Golden Exquisite Pagoda.

Seven Soul Rings on the Golden Exquisite Pagoda flashed continuously, their lights crossing and shining brilliantly.

Suddenly,

the Second Soul Ring and the First Soul Ring lit up one after the other.

Second Soul Skill-Fleeting Shadow.

First Soul Skill-Power to Pull Up Mountains.

Both took effect on Ning Xuan himself.

This was the difference between the Golden Exquisite Pagoda and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Souls.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Soul Skills supported teammates.

The Golden Exquisite Pagoda's Soul Skills were applied to its user.

In other words, all the Golden Exquisite Pagoda's effects strengthened Ning Xuan himself.

His speed and strength alike!

Sure enough,

as he used the Second Soul Skill-Fleeting Shadow, Ning Xuan's movement speed suddenly increased. He left behind only an afterimage where he'd been, and had already appeared in front of Dai Mubai.

"Boss Dai, watch out!"

Tang San roared.

Of everyone on the field, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin and he could see Ning Xuan's movements, thanks to the Purple Demon Eye.

At that moment, his first Soul Skill-Power to Pull Up Mountains-also strengthened Ning Xuan.

His strength surged!

Ning Xuan punched straight at Dai Mubai's face.

A sense of danger suddenly gripped him!

Dai Mubai's expression changed in alarm. As he instinctively took half a step back, he also released his White Tiger Martial Soul.

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation."

The muscles in his arms swelled instantly, bursting his sleeves apart. He raised his fist as well and met Ning Xuan's punch.

But after just one exchange,

a "crack, crack" sounded from the bones in Dai Mubai's arm.

"Ah, my arm!"

He screamed as the punch sent him flying.

The auxiliary-system Soul Master Oscar was sent flying too.

Ning Xuan lowered his hand. The Golden Exquisite Pagoda trembled lightly, then quickly shrank and floated in his palm.

As for Ma Hongjun, the weak, chubby one who had just been pinned beneath the Golden Exquisite Pagoda,

he was already lying motionless on the ground.

Clearly, there was no life left in him. He was completely dead.

"Fatty!"

At the sight, Tang San and the others were so furious their eyes seemed ready to split.

"Xiao Wu, hurry and get Dean Flender and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji!"

Tang San roared, his eyes bloodshot.

"Ning Xuan, you went too far!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help screaming hysterically.
