Night fell, and the Great Soul Arena once again buzzed with activity.
Under Master's arrangement, the Shrek Seven Devils arrived at the Great Soul Arena.
Soon, also under Master's arrangement, each of the Shrek Seven Devils had their own title. However, when it came to arranging tonight's soul battle training, a disagreement arose in the Soul Master's exclusive rest area.
"Master, I don't want to team up with Tang San," Xiao Wu said, looking at Master with dissatisfaction.
"Then who do you want to team up with?" Master's expression was stern as he said calmly, "According to my analysis, you and Tang San can exert a greater effect when you cooperate. Therefore, I suggest you team up with Tang San. This will only benefit you and not harm you."
As Master finished speaking, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Xiao Wu, is there a problem with us teaming up? According to the teacher's analysis, I can control and coordinate my attacks with yours, and our win rate is close to one hundred percent."
"No," Xiao Wu resolutely refused Tang San's suggestion, then turned her gaze to Ning Rongrong beside her and said with a smile, "Rongrong, how about the two of us team up?"
"Huh?" Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong giggled and said, "Alright, Sister Xiao Wu, then you have to protect me, okay?"
"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Wu will!" Xiao Wu clenched her little pink fists, seemingly demonstrating her strength.
Watching Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong team up, Tang San's face darkened. He then looked at Oscar and said, "Xiao Ao, then team up with me. With my control and your recovery ability, it shouldn't be too bad."
"No, Xiao San, I've already decided to team up with Big Brother Dai." Oscar waved his hand.
"Who agreed to team up with you?" Dai Mubai glanced at Oscar and turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, who had a cold expression, saying, "I plan to participate in the two-on-two soul battle with Zhuqing. You should go find the fatty."
Hearing this, Oscar could only use a smile to hide his embarrassment.
"Dai Mubai, you'd better stay away from me." Zhu Zhuqing coldly glanced at Dai Mubai and said, "Even if I team up with Oscar, I won't team up with you. You disappoint me too much."
After learning that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun liked to frequent brothels, Zhu Zhuqing was very disappointed in this so-called fiancé. Especially after experiencing what had happened these past few days, she felt more and more that she seemed to need to make some changes in the dark. Although she didn't know what to do now, staying away from these disgusting men was what she needed most right now.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. "I don't care who you team up with, but you can't team up with Oscar."
"Do I need your permission to choose my teammate?" Zhu Zhuqing didn't back down at all. She had already seen through Dai Mubai's true colors: a paper tiger who only knew how to bully others.
"You!" Dai Mubai was so infuriated by Zhu Zhuqing's words that his blood surged. Unable to gain an advantage from her, he turned his gaze to Oscar and said unpleasantly, "Xiao Ao, if you consider me your brother, don't team up with her. Team up with me, and I'll lead you to victory."
"Uh... Boss Dai." Oscar was at a loss for what to do, and could only scratch his head to hide his embarrassment.
"Hey, Dai the Tiger, you have a problem with Zhuqing, what does it have to do with Oscar?" Just as Oscar hesitated, Ning Rongrong spoke up. She stared at Dai Mubai's handsome, yet ashen face and let out a "pfft" of laughter, then sarcastically said, "You can only bully Oscar, who has no fighting ability. Why don't you bully Tang San? What? Afraid you can't beat him?"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense! What? You think I can't beat Tang San?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming tense because of him, Oscar quickly said, "Boss Dai, calm down. Rongrong didn't mean it that way."
"Then what did she mean?" Dai Mubai seemed to have been provoked. He pointed at Oscar and angrily scolded, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. We're both men, why are you pretending?"
"Aren't you just after them because they're pretty and have good figures? Since Zhu Zhuqing is willing to team up with you, just team up with her. You think I care about a broken woman?"
Perhaps because of the recent setbacks, plus the unprovoked punishment, and now the top-level pressure from his fiancée, Dai Mubai's mentality had exploded. He didn't want to care about anything anymore. What the hell was brotherhood? It was just a beast with ideas about his woman.
At this moment, Oscar had been labeled by him as a beast who was trying to hook up with his brother's woman. However, he didn't know that the reason Oscar hesitated was entirely because of Dai Mubai himself.
"Dai-laoda, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Oscar's face was very unsightly. He never expected that such words would come out of Dai Mubai's mouth.
"Don't call me laoda, Oscar. You're just a dog who calls everyone by name. As long as I want to, I can kick you out at any time, understand?" Dai Mubai glanced at Oscar with disdain, and then said to Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was cold and trembling with anger, "Rotten woman, you think I can't live without you? Without you, I have plenty of women to play with, and they're different every day."
"Since you look down on me, then we'll go our separate ways!"
"Enough, Dai Mubai!" Master finally spoke after listening for a long time. He looked at the indifferent Dai Mubai and said angrily, "You are the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils. How can you say such things?"
"And Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, I don't know what conflicts you four have, but this is Shrek Academy. You are the Shrek Seven Devils. Since you are a team, you must act like a team. Otherwise, you will go back and continue running training!"
"Yu Xiaogang, who do you think you are?" Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, saying, "You're just a Great Soul Master. Where was all this grandstanding just now?"
"Why didn't you say anything when Oscar was bullied by Dai Mubai? Why didn't you stop Dai Mubai from humiliating Zhu Zhuqing? Aren't you a teacher at Shrek Academy? You don't resolve the conflicts right away, and now you're just talking after the fact. Do you even deserve to be a teacher?"
Ning Rongrong's words directly stunned Master. He thought the training over the past period had tamed Ning Rongrong's fiery temper, but now it seemed she was just pretending!
"Ning Rongrong, I won't allow you to insult my teacher." Hearing Ning Rongrong insult his teacher, Tang San also spoke, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness. "Master is my teacher. Insulting him is insulting me. Don't think that just because you're the young miss of a powerful family, you can be willful and unreasonable. If you continue to make trouble, I won't mind teaching you, on behalf of your elders, what it means to respect a teacher!"
"Just you?" Ning Rongrong sneered. "Tang San, sometimes I wonder if you have a problem with your head. You can take a person who copies theories, makes wild assumptions, and then publishes his own logic of martial soul theories as your teacher. I suggest you find a healing-type Soul Master to check your brain. Don't become a fool from cultivating."
"What did you say!" Tang San's face flushed red, and he was gasping for breath.
"I won't repeat myself. Seeing as we are classmates at Shrek Academy, I'm kindly reminding you: be cautious when choosing a teacher. Don't take just anyone, especially someone who relies on copying others' martial soul theories, a thief as a teacher."
When she said this, Ning Rongrong was very disdainful. The reason she had pretended for so long at Shrek Academy was to see what skills this so-called martial soul theory Master actually had.
But the first phase of training was over, and Ning Rongrong hadn't seen any special training methods. The so-called devil training was just getting up early to run with weights, and then internal sparring. Other than that, there was nothing.
Yes, nothing! What was the difference between this and other advanced academies? Ning Rongrong even doubted if she had a problem with her brain, that she would think about staying in such a place for so long. Knowing this, she would rather go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to play.
At least compared to the devilish running training, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had a soul beast-simulated environment perfectly suited for Soul Masters to cultivate. Furthermore, the accommodation and food were the best. Comparing the two, wasn't Shrek Academy just a backwater school?
Listening to Ning Rongrong's sarcastic words, Master's chest heaved slightly in anger, his face flushed red, and he was panting like an ox.
"If you think this Master is inadequate, you can leave Shrek Academy at any time. I haven't begged you to stay!" Master was also pushed to his limits, and his words became somewhat incoherent.
"Leave? Yu Xiaogang, a mere Great Soul Master like you dares to say such things?" Ning Rongrong sneered. "Before you came here, I still thought there was something to Flender's teaching. But after you arrived, what kind of rubbish are you teaching?"
"You constantly make us run, and we have to carry weights and be punished as a whole. Do you think you're so smart? Others call you Master as a joke; you wouldn't actually think you're a Master, would you?"
"Also, you say we can't reveal our identities during soul battles. What codename did you give me? Seven Treasure Glazed Tile? As if you think everyone is an idiot. How many people in the entire continent are called Seven Treasure Glazed Tile? I really doubt if you're constantly living in your own mental fantasies, and your brain is messed up."
No one expected that the always gentle Ning Rongrong would erupt with such astonishing verbal combat power today. Although her words were harsh, it had to be said that everyone, except Tang San, was suppressing a sense of resentment in their hearts after the weighted running this morning.
This was also one of the main reasons for Dai Mubai's emotional outburst.
"Damn, is this the Ning Rongrong I know?" Oscar secretly glanced at the fierce Ning Rongrong, thinking to himself, "Although she's fierce, why am I a little touched when I think she's standing up for me?"
At that moment, in the Soul Master's exclusive rest area, besides Tang San and his master, who were panting and furious, the others seemed unconcerned, just quietly watching Ning Rongrong berate Master.
Even Dai Mubai, who had lost control of his emotions earlier, had calmed down. He now wanted to slap himself. What had he just said?
Zhu Zhuqing still stood there coldly, but from her tightly clenched hands, it could be seen that she wasn't as calm as she appeared. Perhaps, coldness was just her protective color.
Ning Rongrong's mockery completely broke Master. Deeply influenced by Master, Tang San decisively stepped forward. He glared at Ning Rongrong and said, "If you continue to speak without restraint, you'll be courting death."
"Silence!"
Just as Tang San finished speaking, the door to the Soul Master's rest area suddenly opened. Flender and Zhao Wuji walked in. He looked at Tang San with a dark expression and said, "I don't care what conflicts you've had, but you are all students of Shrek Academy. As long as you are still at Shrek, and I am still your headmaster, I will not allow the situation of killing fellow students to occur."
After speaking, Flender looked at Ning Rongrong, who was relaxed, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to stay, you can return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at any time. No one will stop you."
"I won't go. Headmaster Flender, I'm just telling the truth," Ning Rongrong said with a smile, unafraid. "If you were leading our training, I wouldn't say anything, but if you let a Level 29 Great Soul Master bully others, I don't think everyone will be convinced, right?"
"Enough! If you run your mouth again, I'll send you straight home," Flender glared at Ning Rongrong. No wonder Ning Fengzhi sent her to Shrek Academy; this spoiled personality definitely needed some discipline.
Seeing Flender truly angered, Ning Rongrong stuck her tongue out and stopped her snide remarks.
With Ning Rongrong quiet, the Soul Master's rest area also quieted down. Watching the disheartened Shrek Seven Devils and Master, whose face was ashen and body trembling from anger, Flender sighed helplessly.
"Xiaogang, as their teacher, take the lead and apologize," Flender said, looking at his friend, then at the Shrek Seven Devils. "You too, everyone except Tang San, apologize to Master. We'll let this matter go."
"Solve the problem, don't let the problem solve you, right?"
Seeing Flender offering a way out, Ning Rongrong took the opportunity and was the first to apologize to Master. Then, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others also apologized to Master one by one.
Although Master was quite unbearable, he was still everyone's teacher. Even Ning Rongrong, who was in the lead, had apologized, so the rest followed suit symbolically.
After everyone apologized, Master, with Flender's best efforts to soothe him, reluctantly apologized to everyone.
Afterward, Flender arranged for Zhao Wuji to take everyone to participate in the soul battle. Based on their own combinations, everyone had groups except for Ma Hongjun, who participated in the solo soul battle.
After the Shrek Seven Devils left the room, Master couldn't help but angrily say, "Flender, you actually made me apologize to these students who embarrassed me! What were you thinking?"
Hearing this, Flender didn't respond. He only felt exhausted, very exhausted, extremely exhausted. On one side was his friend, and on the other were his students. Making both sides apologize was already the best solution he could come up with.
But unfortunately, Master didn't understand Flender's thoughts. Even if he did, he wouldn't put himself in Flender's shoes. After all, it wasn't his Shrek Academy, and he didn't need to care so much.
