"Crying?"
Yun Chuan looked at Ning Rongrong's appearance and inwardly exclaimed 'kawaii', but on the surface, he coldly said, "What's there to cry about? Who do you think you are? Without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you're just a pretty little girl. Who knows where you'd be now? You have talent, you have a background, yet you don't work hard and only know how to enjoy yourself. Yes, you have choices, you can do that. But since you've come to Shrek Academy, you must abide by its rules!
"This isn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Yun Chuan said indifferently, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the continent's top support Spirit, but you are completely shaming the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda now, do you know that?"
"I didn't!" Ning Rongrong was both anxious and angry at being lectured. She was, after all, just a twelve-year-old girl. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the Sect's pride! It was her pride too!
"You didn't? Then tell me, among the seven students in this academy, who can you surpass?" Yun Chuan sneered, "Tang San and Xiao Wu, their spirit power levels are higher than yours, and their combat experience is richer. That Dai Mubai, when he was thirteen, he was already a level 30 Spirit Elder. Can you do that?"
"Ma Hongjun possesses a top-tier Beast Spirit. Even with its flaws, his spirit power is already level 27!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, although her spirit power is only slightly higher than yours, her will is firm. If you ask her to run twenty laps, let alone twenty laps, even a hundred laps, she'll crawl to finish them, do you believe it? Can you do that?"
Ning Rongrong's chest heaved with anger.
"I'm a support system Spirit Master! How can I compare to them!" Ning Rongrong held back her tears, finding an excuse for herself, "On the battlefield, the role I can play is greater than all of theirs!"
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Yun Chuan didn't deny it; instead, he nodded in affirmation of her words. But then his tone shifted, "But now I'll tell you another truth: on the battlefield, only those who are alive are qualified to provide support to their teammates!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Ning Rongrong with a hint of disdain and said, "With your personality, if someone tried to kill you on the battlefield, could you escape? With your impatient and arrogant personality, could you find teammates who would truly protect you and allow you to safely release your Spirit Abilities? You couldn't! So you would only be abandoned and ultimately killed by the enemy!"
"No, there's still Oscar. I can at least surpass him, right?" Ning Rongrong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, speaking as if she had clutched at a life-saving straw.
"Sorry, I learned from the dean that Oscar might be the most talented among you. He is a food system Spirit Master with innate full spirit power. Have you ever seen anyone else like him?" Yun Chuan couldn't help but laugh, mercilessly shattering Ning Rongrong's last shred of hope.
"…"
Ning Rongrong looked at Yun Chuan in a daze.
Although she didn't want to believe it, she also knew that as a teacher, Tang Chuan wouldn't tell such lies. Originally, as a support system Spirit Master, Ning Rongrong had long separated herself from War Soul Masters and had no intention of comparing herself. But now, hearing his words, she felt a chill deep in her heart, and she was almost on the verge of self-isolation.
Even Oscar was stronger than her!
One must know that food system Spirit Masters are inherently difficult to advance, and innate full spirit power has never been seen before!
Her last shred of dignity was mercilessly torn away by Yun Chuan.
With a wail, Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold on and ran back.
"Tang Chuan, I hate you!" A sobbing voice came.
And seeing the little girl crying and running away with her face covered after being struck down by him, Yun Chuan felt a little embarrassed in his heart. However, this was a blow that Ning Rongrong had to experience if she wanted to grow.
Moreover, there was no one else around now, only the two of them, so no one else could see. If it were in the evening, with everyone watching, Ning Rongrong would only lose more face if she were scolded again.
In a sense, Yun Chuan was actually helping her.
Of course, besides helping her, Yun Chuan didn't deny that he also had reasons for wanting to boost his favorability. After all, having read the original novel, he already had a certain fondness for the original characters, especially the female ones. They were like the paper wives of otaku.
And after finally transmigrating to a fantasy World and encountering the paper wives who had turned from fake to real, which man wouldn't be moved?
Yun Chuan didn't know if other people were moved, but he was certainly moved. He admitted that he was indeed coveting their bodies; he was a lecher! Otherwise, when he was adding points in his mother's womb, he wouldn't have maxed out his charm. Wasn't it all for a good face to make it easier to pick up girls?
...
Yun Chuan slowly walked back to the Academy and happened to meet Oscar, who was still running laps. A thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"Teacher Tang, hello." Oscar nodded in greeting as he ran past him.
"Oscar, wait a moment." Yun Chuan suddenly spoke.
"Huff… What's wrong… Is there something, Teacher Tang?" Oscar stopped as instructed, still panting slightly.
"Are you interested in Ning Rongrong?" Yun Chuan asked directly.
Oscar's face flushed upon hearing this, then he scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, you know, a fair lady is a gentleman's good pursuit. Hehe." He then chuckled foolishly.
Yun Chuan sighed inwardly at this, what a pure young man. It felt really bad to break up someone else's destined relationship. But no matter how bad he felt, when it was time to nip a love rival in the bud, he would never show mercy!
"Oscar, do you know Ning Rongrong's background?" Yun Chuan suddenly asked.
"I do, she's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What's wrong, Teacher Tang?" Oscar nodded, then asked confusedly.
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you. As the continent's number one support Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an unwritten rule: regardless of gender, anyone marrying in or out must be a War Soul Master!" Yun Chuan said expressionlessly, "Because support system Spirit Masters have no offensive power, only if their partner is a War Soul Master can they be better protected. That's why such a rule exists."
"The person she marries must be a War Soul Master?" Oscar froze instantly, as if struck by lightning! He wasn't stupid at all and naturally knew what this meant. After all, he was a food system Spirit Master and had nothing to do with War Soul Masters.
This also meant that he did not meet Ning Rongrong's criteria for a partner from the very beginning!
"...Teacher, why did you tell me this?" Oscar lowered his head in disappointment.
"Alas, Teacher is also doing this for your own good." Yun Chuan sighed, saying with compassion, "There will definitely be no outcome between you and her. Telling you in advance will help you withdraw early and prevent you from falling deeper. Ultimately, only you will be hurt. It's not good for either you or her. Do you understand?"
"…"
Oscar lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Then he exhaled softly, raised his head, and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I understand, thank you for telling me, Teacher. I know what to do."
"Hmm, a promising student." Yun Chuan nodded in satisfaction. He finally managed to nip this potential love rival in the bud!
Currently, Oscar only had a slight interest in Ning Rongrong and hadn't even had the chance to make a move. Yun Chuan directly told him that Ning Rongrong would only marry a War Soul Master, which effectively cut off his hopes. After all, in the later stages, he was willing to fight for Ning Rongrong because they were already in love. Only then could he sacrifice his life for her.
But now, they haven't even started; it's just Oscar's unilateral slight affection. So, in the future, he naturally won't be so foolish as to try to become a War Soul Master. Instead, he will honestly continue down the path of a support system Spirit Master without looking back. In his attitude towards Ning Rongrong, he will also consciously maintain a distance to avoid any ambiguous situations.
It can be said that Yun Chuan's move was truly vicious, directly nipping the possibility of the two of them in the bud!
After misleading Oscar, Yun Chuan waved him off to continue running, then slowly walked towards the girls' dormitory.
At this time, the door to the girls' dormitory was tightly shut.
"Knock knock!"
Yun Chuan politely knocked on the door.
Soon, footsteps came from inside.
With a click, the door opened.
"Teacher Tang, is something wrong?" Xiao Wu stood at the dormitory entrance, looking at Yun Chuan, and asked in confusion.
"Is Ning Rongrong inside?" Yun Chuan asked.
"She is."
Xiao Wu replied, "Rongrong suddenly came back crying just now, and she wouldn't answer me no matter what I said."
"Oh, it's nothing. She fell when she was running just now and got injured. Don't I have healing abilities? I specifically came to help her recover." Yun Chuan said without changing his expression, not mentioning that he had tripped her.
"Oh, I see. Then quickly help Rongrong heal. She's been crying for a long time." Xiao Wu pointed inside the dormitory, where faint sobbing could still be heard.
"No problem, I'll heal her quickly." Yun Chuan smiled and walked into the girls' dormitory. It was much better here than the boys' dormitory; each person had their own independent room. He casually glanced around and quickly found Ning Rongrong's room, as faint crying could still be heard from it.
Yun Chuan didn't hesitate. He walked over and slowly opened the door, tiptoeing in. Soon, he saw Ning Rongrong on the bed, completely buried under the covers. Only faint sobs continuously emerged.
After a moment's thought, Yun Chuan reached into his spirit tool and rummaged around, surprisingly pulling out a very exquisite small cake. As soon as it was taken out, the entire bedroom was filled with a sweet aroma~
Girls have no resistance to sweets. Soon, the scent of the cake permeated the air and reached inside the covers. Ning Rongrong, who was completely hidden under the covers, quietly lifted the cover from her head and peeked out. When she saw Yun Chuan smiling at her, her expression immediately changed.
"Get out! I don't want to see you!" Ning Rongrong roared angrily, her small chest heaving with rage, her emotions extremely agitated.
Yun Chuan didn't speak, knowing that at this moment it was best to let her be alone, so he simply silently placed the exquisite small cake, which looked very delicious and tempting, on the table. Then he turned and walked out of the room.
During breakfast that morning, he had noticed that this young lady had barely eaten anything because the food wasn't to her liking. Coincidentally, he still had some small cakes he bought in Soto City in his spirit tool, so he took them out to win her over.
It was all a strategy!
