"Oscar, how far is this loop anyway?" Ning Rongrong's voice held a hint of helplessness.
When she first started, she was full of confidence. Even though she was a support system Spirit Master, her father had always required her to exercise when she was at home, saying almost the exact same things Flender had said earlier.
So, her physique wasn't bad. Although she couldn't compare to a War Soul Master, long-term exercise not only gave her a healthy body but also made her particularly good at running.
However, since leaving the Academy, Ning Rongrong, led by Oscar, still hadn't completed a single loop, and quite a bit of time had already passed. If they continued at this pace, let alone lunch, it would be a question if they could even eat dinner. What's more, her stamina was constantly decreasing, making it impossible to maintain this speed indefinitely.
Oscar said with a wry smile, "I told you when we came out that this was an impossible task. But don't be afraid, are we two support system Spirit Masters afraid of going hungry when we're together? Do you want to eat some..."
Ning Rongrong glanced at him. Although she was still young, her delicate eyes held a hint of charm. Oscar felt his bones soften under her gaze and chuckled, "I have a big Sausage!"
With a flash of light, a fragrant Sausage appeared in his hand, which he offered to Ning Rongrong.
"My Sausage, the first spirit ring skill, is recovery. It can not only promote wound healing but also restore stamina. Have some. Don't mention running twenty laps; even if we ran two hundred laps, we wouldn't need to worry about food."
Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar strangely and suddenly blurted out an extremely fierce remark, "I still have two thick slices of bread, eat your head." After saying that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated out, and with agility support added, her speed suddenly increased as she ran forward.
"Uh..." Oscar was completely stunned. Let alone him, even if Tang San and Dai Mubai were here, hearing such a graceful girl like Ning Rongrong say something like that would probably make them feel incredible.
They didn't know what kind of character Ning Rongrong was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
And Ning Rongrong herself finally couldn't hold back and revealed a bit of her true nature.
...
After Ning Rongrong applied the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's speed buff to herself, she ran for a while longer and then felt she couldn't continue.
"It's too long, I'm not running anymore!" Ning Rongrong muttered, then walked to the main road, intending to go to Soto City to have a big meal first. Then, she would take a stroll around Soto City.
After all, it wasn't easy for a young miss to sneak out of the school; she was here to play, and studying was just an incidental matter.
Shrek Academy was just a pretense for playing.
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to leave the Academy, on the main road ahead, a figure appeared leaning against a tree at some unknown point, seemingly having waited for a long time.
"Teacher Tang, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Ning Rongrong looked at the figure ahead, feeling a little guilty. After all, a student skipping class seeing their teacher would certainly not be able to act as if nothing happened.
"Ning Rongrong, where are you going?" Yun Chuan, who had been waiting here for a long time, looked at her with a half-smile. He thought, 'I finally caught this little devil.'
"I... I..." Ning Rongrong's beautiful sapphire-like eyes darted around, considering various excuses. But in the end, she decided to tell the truth. In her opinion, that principal was simply making things difficult for her.
"I'm going to Soto City," she said, giving up on pretense.
"Oh, going to Soto City." Yun Chuan nodded with a look of realization, then tilted his head slightly and said, "But did you forget something?"
"What? Forget what? My memory is very good, I didn't forget anything!" Ning Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, she feigned ignorance as she looked at him. She clearly intended to bluff her way through.
"I remember Principal Flender gave you a task, didn't he? To run twenty laps around the village? Have you finished your twenty laps?" Seeing that she was still pretending, Yun Chuan decided to be straightforward.
And seeing Yun Chuan drop the pretense, Ning Rongrong also stopped pretending. Her expression changed, and she directly laid out her cards, "Yes, I haven't finished running. But that principal is simply making things difficult for me; twenty laps are impossible to finish."
Yun Chuan looked at Ning Rongrong with a hint of speechlessness. In fact, although twenty laps were a bit much, as long as she was willing to put in the effort, Ning Rongrong could still finish them with her current strength. At most, she would be a bit tired. But clearly, Ning Rongrong, who had been pampered since childhood, was unwilling to suffer that hardship.
Seeing Yun Chuan's gaze, Ning Rongrong's expression worsened, and she stopped pretending. She said directly, "Tang Chuan! Don't think that just because I call you 'Teacher,' you can really control me. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! If you want me to go back, dream on!"
With that, Ning Rongrong took a few steps forward.
"Heh, you finally couldn't help but show your true colors." Yun Chuan chuckled as he watched her expression change, then shook his head and said, "As long as you are a Shrek student, and I am your teacher. Then today, if you don't finish those twenty laps, don't even think about leaving! Although I don't usually lay hands on girls, I don't mind breaking the rule occasionally."
"..." Ning Rongrong's steps suddenly halted.
"If you don't want to suffer physical pain, then obediently go back," he continued to say leisurely. To deal with such a spoiled and willful young miss, simply flattering her would only make him a simp! Only by shattering her pride and making her realize her own fragility could he leave a profound impression on her heart.
And as long as a profound impression is left, regardless of whether it's good or bad, at least half of the conquest has already succeeded.
So Yun Chuan, who was always very gentlemanly towards beauties, was now uncharacteristically very straightforward. He had an appearance of strict impartiality. One could only say it was all part of a plan.
And listening to Yun Chuan's calm yet powerful words.
Ning Rongrong's face turned ashen with anger, and she finally couldn't help but explode, glaring at him with her beautiful eyes and angrily saying, "Why do you get to control me? This is just an Academy! Tang Chuan, if you really dare to lay a hand on me, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
She was usually pampered, and who in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't cater to her? This guy in front of her, although he looked quite handsome... but now, he actually dared to stop her! This was something Ning Rongrong couldn't tolerate!
"Of course, it's the authority given by the Principal, who asked me to supervise you," Yun Chuan said lightly, subtly digging a pit for Flender. Anyway, if the two Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came looking for trouble later, the first one to be beaten would definitely be the Principal. As for him? It would be hard to say if he'd even still be at the Academy then. After all, his time here was destined not to be long.
"If you think this is just an Academy and don't want to abide by anything, then you are welcome to leave the Academy! As for the consequences? Do you think I, Tang Chuan, am afraid of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" His calm tone, yet the words he spoke, carried a powerful aura that made Ning Rongrong involuntarily retreat several steps.
Yes, a Spirit Saint at twenty-five.
What kind of concept was that?
It meant that he could at least become a Titled Douluo in the future.
Moreover, to become a Spirit Saint so young, such an astonishing genius! If there wasn't a powerful force supporting him from behind, then even Ning Rongrong herself wouldn't believe it. Therefore, trying to suppress him with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might not work for this man.
"Tang Chuan, don't try to scare me! I won't leave the Academy!" Although she knew Yun Chuan's background was not simple, Ning Rongrong was ultimately the pampered darling of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and was not intimidated. Instead, she raised her rounded chin and snapped, "You better get out of my way! This young miss is hungry!"
"Alright then."
Unexpectedly, Yun Chuan actually nodded and stepped aside, clearing the path forward.
Ning Rongrong hadn't even had time to be happy when Yun Chuan's next words made her expression stiffen.
"I'll go back and tell the Principal that you're not suitable for the Academy, and I'll pack your bags and have you leave the Academy."
"You!"
Ning Rongrong glared at him. She looked at his eyes, which she usually found beautiful no matter how she looked at them, but now they seemed particularly hateful! Her small face sank again, "Don't go too far! Tang Chuan! Although you are a Spirit Saint, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a Titled Douluo in charge! If you dare to bully me, I'll definitely make you regret it!"
"Wow! Titled Douluo... I'm so scared~" Yun Chuan quickly put on a frightened expression. However, it looked fake no matter how one saw it, "Then hurry up and call the Titled Douluo over; I can't wait to experience how powerful a Titled Douluo truly is."
"You!"
Ning Rongrong looked at his mocking performance, trembling with anger.
"Hmph! I don't believe you'd really dare to hit me!"
Ning Rongrong snorted lightly, then ignored him and walked straight forward. She didn't believe this guy would really dare to hit her. No one had ever dared to do that before.
Step by step, Ning Rongrong slowly walked past Yun Chuan. A faint girlish fragrance wafted, making him unconsciously feel a little refreshed.
Seeing the girl about to pass him, Yun Chuan knew he couldn't delay any longer. Although he felt it was a bit low-class, he still quietly extended a foot and lightly tripped Ning Rongrong's leg.
"Bang!"
Ning Rongrong, losing her balance, fell directly to the ground.
After effortlessly tripping her with his ultimate move, the 'Divine Kick,' Yun Chuan sighed as if nothing had happened and said, "Alas, I didn't expect you to guess correctly. That's right, I really don't dare to hit you, but I dare to kick you."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong scrambled up from the ground as if her fur had been ruffled. Her elegant and beautiful blue-green dress was now stained with dust, and her delicate, fair face had several smudges of dirt. It completely ruined her elegant beauty.
"You, you!"
Tears welled up in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She glared at the nonchalant Yun Chuan, her face flushed red. In all her life, this was the first time anyone had dared to treat her like this!
Good! Very good!
Man! You have successfully caught my attention!
