The "resources" Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San really were plentiful.
For instance, running with weights.
And now there were push-ups with a millstone on his back.
With the sounds from next door as accompaniment, Tang San was distracted the whole time, while Yu Xiaogang kept berating him.
Finally, after things quieted down next door, he finished his thousand push-ups.
"Little San, you should take a good look at yourself."
"You kept getting distracted today. I'm very dissatisfied."
With that, Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and turned to leave, looking every bit the lofty master.
That evening, the matches at the Great Soul Arena continued.
Shrek Academy's students won several matches in a row, and their morale was high. But the invisible rifts between them were growing deeper.
Of course, for Yu Xiaogang's sake, everyone still maintained a facade of harmony.
As soon as they left the Soul Fighting Arena, Ma Hongjun could no longer control his Evil Fire. He borrowed some money from Zhao Wuji and headed straight for the brothels.
Dai Mubai seemed thoroughly disdainful as he said, "Ma Hongjun runs off to the brothels at every opportunity. He really brings shame on Shrek."
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. Her gaze was full of contempt as she looked at Dai Mubai. Before coming to Shrek Academy, she had actually been full of fantasies about him.
She had come here for Dai Mubai, but after arriving, she had learned his true colors.
After learning what had happened today, she was completely disappointed in Dai Mubai. A hypocrite.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar were all hypocrites, through and through.
"We won a complete victory today."
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, why don't the six of us go for a stroll in the city?"
"I heard there'll be a big fireworks display in the east of the city."
Tang San wanted to mend his relationship with Xiao Wu. Lately, he didn't know what had gone wrong, but Xiao Wu always made him feel a deep-rooted distance between them.
"Yes, let's go out for a stroll. We can watch the fireworks while we're at it."
Oscar chimed in too. "That's right, Rongrong. Let's go together."
What the three of them said was perfectly normal.
But to Xiao Wu and the other two girls, it sounded completely different now.
Sure enough, Li Zhiyan hadn't been wrong at all!
Yu Xiaogang chimed in from the side. "You youngsters go have fun. Teacher Zhao and I won't tag along. Have a good talk, and if there are any misunderstandings, clear them up."
"You're all on the same side. Only by standing united can you unleash your greatest strength."
Yu Xiaogang sounded utterly earnest.
"All right, let's go for a stroll."
Zhu Zhuqing knew it was still too early to close the coffin and pass judgment.
If she saw Bu Le's trio with her own eyes, it would prove that everything Li Zhiyan had said was true.
The six of them wandered around the city.
Dai Mubai and Oscar both instinctively kept their distance from Tang San.
Tang San was too sneaky. They were terrified he would ambush them with Dragon Whisker Needles. They had no desire to experience that feeling of being better off dead a second time.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I really do realize what I did wrong."
"I don't go to places like brothels anymore, not at all."
"Is that so?"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was mocking. The more she looked at Dai Mubai, the more she thought he was a joke.
"What does it have to do with me whether you go to those places or not?"
"I can't be bothered to concern myself with your affairs."
Dai Mubai smiled. "How could it have nothing to do with you? You're my fiancée, my future wife. How could it have nothing to do with you?"
Ning Rongrong said sarcastically, "Sister Zhu Zhuqing would never marry you. In Suutuo City, you've slept with at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, wild chickens. Just thinking about it is disgusting. Ugh..."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Dai Mubai immediately lost his composure.
Damn that Ning Rongrong! How dare she contradict me? One day, I'll kill her whole family!
"Ning Rongrong, say that again! Believe it or not, I'll slaughter you!"
Like Tang San, Dai Mubai suffered from inhuman fits of rage, wanting to kill people at the slightest provocation.
"Go on, try killing me. See if my Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone don't have you executed by a thousand cuts."
Ning Rongrong wasn't afraid in the least. She knew Dai Mubai did have some backing, but before a prince of the Star Luo Empire succeeded in the struggle for the throne,
he was nothing more than a somewhat stronger wild dog in her eyes. Kill her? Just how much had Dai Mubai drunk?
Of course... she was still very wary of Tang San. She knew her backers weren't as powerful as his.
The Clear Sky Sect was too formidable.
"All right, Dai Mubai! Just try laying a hand on Rongrong. I'll kill you myself!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong angry, Dai Mubai fell silent. If this went on, he'd have even less chance of getting Zhu Zhuqing into bed.
In the distance, fireworks began to bloom, drawing the eyes of Xiao Wu and the other two girls. Girls all liked such dazzling things, and the three of them were naturally no exception.
"Let's go watch the fireworks!"
Before Ning Rongrong's words had even faded, Bu Le appeared ahead of them.
"Well, well, well."
"Who would've thought our Suutuo City had three such beautiful little beauties?"
"Every one of you is a peerless beauty."
"The little beauty in the middle has a really nice figure."
"Looks like I can have my fill tonight."
"Even if I have to take medicine, it'll be worth it!"
Bu Le's eyes were full of lust.
When someone actually came out to harass Xiao Wu and the other two girls, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar were all secretly delighted.
Their chance had come! They had all been fretting over how distant they had grown from the women they liked lately, and now a villain had appeared out of nowhere.
It was like being handed a pillow just when they were feeling sleepy.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar stepped in front of Xiao Wu and the other two girls at the same time.
"Dare to touch my woman, and dying at the hands of me, Dai Mubai, will be your honor!"
"You already have a way to die!"
"How dare you harass Rongrong! I may be a support-type Soul Master, but today I'll still make you taste my power!"
The three of them cut dashing figures from behind, and they all felt rather good about themselves...
But Xiao Wu and the other two girls felt only disgust as they looked at them.
Sure enough, everything Li Zhiyan had said was true. These three had actually worked with people like this. They were despicable to the extreme!
At that moment, Tianya and E Kao walked out from two other directions, and the three released their Soul Rings at the same time.
One four-ring Soul Ancestor and two five-ring Soul Kings!
Tang San and the other two turned somewhat pale. It seemed they had kicked an iron plate this time!
Bu Le said with a lecherous look, "These three little beauties each have their own charms. Let's have a party tonight!"
At that moment, Li Zhiyan was behind them, watching everything clearly.
"Finally, a chance."
"When Tang San and the other two have been beaten half to death,"
"it'll be time for my Ring Detonation to show its full might."
Li Zhiyan couldn't help feeling a little excited. Ever since obtaining the ultimate technique of Ring Detonation, this was the first time he had prepared to use it!
