Chapter 141: You Must Carry Me Often in the Future

Night fell.

The Dean of Shrek Academy, the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle Flender, was standing on the large training ground, looking at all eight students before him.

Qin Jian, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and the icy yet neat and sharp-looking Zhu Zhuqing were all prepared for the night's lesson, each one full of spirit.

"Oscar, how many laps did you run?"

Flender's gaze gave people a sharp feeling, making them afraid to meet his eyes.

Oscar coughed and said, "Dean, I ran twenty laps."

Ning Rongrong looked a bit exhausted, but she still said earnestly to Flender, "I ran thirty laps."

As soon as she said this, the others immediately looked over in surprise.

Seeing that she had gained everyone's attention, Ning Rongrong smiled lightly and said, "Brother Jian said that only by training to the limit every time can one achieve the fastest growth, so I ran ten extra laps and only stopped when I had exhausted my strength."

The others turned to look at Qin Jian, once again realizing his immense influence over Ning Rongrong.

"It's you again..." Oscar said with a bitter face.

As soon as he saw Flender's expression, he knew nothing good was coming...

Sure enough, Flender slowly raised his right hand and patted Oscar's shoulder lightly: "A dignified Innate Full Soul Power, yet you can't even compare to a girl. Add another twenty laps tonight; you aren't allowed to eat until you finish. Go."

Watching Oscar miserably continue running, Qin Jian and the others could only secretly lament Flender's strictness.

Little did they know that Flender was also muttering to himself: "I originally wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but this delicate little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually persisted for thirty laps. Could it be that I misjudged her, and she isn't a pampered master?"

"Dean, can I follow Brother Jian and the others to watch their training tonight?" Ning Rongrong suddenly asked at this moment.

"You may, come along."

Flender said, "As long as you can keep up, I won't stop and wait for you."

He waved his hand and said, "Set off, follow me."

After speaking, he was seen tapping his toes on the ground and darting out lightly, heading in the direction outside the academy.

It was unclear if he was intentionally making things difficult for Ning Rongrong, but his speed along the way was not slow, consistently maintaining a fairly brisk pace.

At this moment, the gap in strength between the students became apparent.

Following closely behind Flender was the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, who possessed the deepest soul power.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were tied for second place.

Ma Hongjun was in fourth, though he wasn't far behind Tang San.

As for Qin Jian, because he was holding Ning Rongrong with one hand to help her keep up with the team's speed, he was in the back.

As for Zhuqing, she kept hovering not far in front of Qin Jian.

Along the way, Flender did not say another word.

The people in front kept glancing back at Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong, worried they wouldn't be able to keep up, but they were surprised to find that Qin Jian was pulling Ning Rongrong and hanging at the tail end of the team, not being left behind at all.

They then felt relieved and continued to follow Flender.

Soon, they discovered that Flender's destination for this trip was actually Soto City.

It was not far from Shrek Academy to there, and just as they were about to reach the south gate of Soto City, Flender's speed slowed down.

And when they came to a complete stop, Tang San and the others looked back, only to find that at some point, Ning Rongrong had already been carried on Qin Jian's back...

Zhuqing immediately became full of cold air, while Xiao Wu just pouted.

"Rongrong ran thirty laps today, nearly eighty or ninety kilometers; she really couldn't run anymore."

Qin Jian put Ning Rongrong down, clearly explaining this to Zhuqing.

"Hmph!"

Zhuqing snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

However, Ning Rongrong was very happy: "Brother Jian, you're actually fine carrying me! You must carry me often in the future!"

"No!" Zhuqing immediately frowned and said.

Ning Rongrong looked full of confusion: "Why not? I didn't force Brother Jian."

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Jian immediately interrupted the two and said, "The Dean is right here..."

Ignoring their expressions, he hurriedly quickened his pace to walk beside Flender and asked deliberately: "Dean, is our first lesson really to be held here in Soto City?"

Flender looked at him with his eagle eyes, then nodded and said: "That's right, the place where you will have your lesson is over there."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

Following the direction of his finger, Qin Jian saw a large area of tall buildings.

From their angle, they could only see that the building was nearly a hundred meters high, incomparably huge, and appeared extremely profound in the night.

From within that massive building, lights were faintly flickering.

Dai Mubai's expression changed, and he whispered: "Dean, are you letting them go there on the first day?"

Flender said indifferently: "Remember, you are all monsters, not ordinary people. Since you are monsters, you must have a monster's way of training."

"With the same level and strength, the amount of actual combat experience will determine the key to victory. Therefore, your first lesson is actual combat, and that place is your classroom."

Qin Jian naturally knew what that place was, so he said: "Is that the Great Spirit Arena of Soto City?"

Flender looked at him and said: "You actually know about the Great Spirit Arena, not bad."

He explained the rules of the Great Spirit Arena to them, and finally said: "Any level of Spirit Master will receive a badge after entering the Great Spirit Arena. Afterwards, every victory will earn a certain amount of points, and when the points reach a certain level, the grade of the badge will increase."

"This badge is the symbol of your grade in the Great Spirit Arena. The lowest grade of badge is the Iron Badge, which is an Iron Spirit Fighter, followed upwards by Copper, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond, for a total of eight grades."

Qin Jian secretly curled his lip: "How could it be possible to reach so many grades, and it sounds terrible. It would be better to have Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Challenger..."

Speaking of this, Flender's gaze swept across the seven people in front of him one by one: "My task for you is to obtain at least a Silver Spirit Badge before graduation, do you understand?"

The few nodded repeatedly.

"How are the points accumulated?"

Qin Jian was actually not clear about this.

Flender then explained: "To upgrade from Iron Spirit Fighter to Copper Spirit Fighter, you need one hundred points. Each victory in a battle earns one point, but if you lose a battle, one point will be deducted accordingly. If your winning streak exceeds five matches, then for every additional consecutive win, the points will increase by ten. If the winning streak exceeds ten matches, each subsequent win will increase the points by one hundred."

"To upgrade from Copper Spirit Fighter to Silver Spirit Fighter, you need one thousand points. In battles between Copper Spirit Fighters, each victory earns ten points, and each loss deducts ten points. The ratio for points gained from winning streaks is the same as for Iron Spirit Fighters, and so on."

Finally finishing his explanation, Qin Jian could only draw one conclusion: "Anyway, just keep winning, that's all!"

Then Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"I currently have twenty-nine wins and twenty-seven losses, for a total of two points," Dai Mubai said indifferently.

"I have twenty-one wins and twelve losses, for a total of nine points," Ma Hongjun followed up.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't," Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly.

"Exactly, exactly, it's just that you guys aren't good enough," Xiao Wu's stance was now completely biased.

As for Ning Rongrong, she simply gave a light smile: "I believe in Brother Jian!"
