Chapter 255: Appearing

Flender, of course, would not think that what Ning Rongrong said made sense.

He only insisted on his own twisted logic, saying, "Then when you exhaust your soul power, I ask you, will you just wait for death?"

"I naturally would not wait for death, but this is only a final and extraordinary situation. Shouldn't we be focusing more on learning how to fight while having soul power?" Ning Rongrong retorted unwillingly.

For Flender to say this was equivalent to requiring ordinary soldiers to learn how to fight unarmed against enemies with weapons, and furthermore, forcing them to learn it through intensive training.

This was, of course, somewhat absurd.

Yes, it is possible that on the battlefield, one might find oneself without a weapon while the enemy is armed.

But that is an unconventional situation; shouldn't general training focus on combat with weapons?

This is like telling a sprinter not to focus on explosive power but instead on endurance...

This kind of training at Shrek Academy is truly full of twisted logic.

In this world where soul power is supreme, they instead feel that a Spirit Master's original physical fitness is more important.

"You still dare to quibble." Flender snorted coldly and said, "As the Dean, my rules are the rules! If Oscar lying was because he couldn't bear to see you punished, it might be excusable. Then, the mistake you committed is unforgivable... using soul power to complete the test without authorization, not following the academy's arrangements, and having a senior student lie for you. Not a single one of these is a mistake an excellent Spirit Master should commit. If this were on the battlefield, there would only be one result for talking back to me, and that is military execution—death, nothing more."

"Dean! I...!" Oscar still wanted to say something to defend Ning Rongrong.

But Flender looked at him coldly, "Little Ao, are you not even going to listen to my words now?"

Oscar immediately stopped mid-sentence, then he sighed and said nothing more.

After all, no matter what... he was raised by Flender and the other teachers of Shrek Academy.

Flender had been kind to him, and he did not want to let the Dean down.

Ning Rongrong's face was pale, but she shook her head and said, "But this is just an academy, not a battlefield... Shouldn't truth be king in an academy? What does this have to do with the battlefield?"

Flender was clearly making a mountain out of a molehill, using a chicken feather as a token of authority.

But the others felt he was absolutely right and did not think there was any problem at all.

Flender nodded and said: "Correct, this is just an academy, but this is my Shrek Academy.

Now, I give you two paths to choose from.

One, pack your things and leave here immediately. You are not worthy of being a member here... even if you are a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even if your brother is that peerless genius, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect itself is nothing in my eyes.

The other path, prove to me that you have the qualifications to stay here and the determination never to break the rules again."

Ning Rongrong originally hadn't felt there was much to it, even feeling that no matter what, she had to fight for the chance to stay.

But Flender had mentioned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He actually just wanted to let Ning Rongrong know that no matter what her status was, he would not show mercy.

But he had accidentally touched upon Ning Rongrong's taboo.

Hearing this, she immediately raised her head and said seriously, "Dean... I can admit that I was wrong, but regarding what you said about our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and my brother, I want you to apologize!"

"Apologize?" Flender laughed and said coldly, "Do you think that just because you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you can do whatever you want?"

"I don't think that just because I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I can do whatever I want! But the sect and my brother... cannot be easily insulted by others! You must apologize now!" Ning Rongrong said, somewhat angry.

However, Flender did not care at all. She was just a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and with those Soul Douluos and even those two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect present, he had to be firm right now! Besides, this was in front of so many students; if he really showed weakness, how could he command respect in the future?

"What if I don't apologize? What do you count for?" Flender said indifferently.

"And you should know... this is my territory, and I have the final say... what do I have to fear? Mubai." He called out with a faint smile.

"Dean." Dai Mubai stepped forward, his gaze toward Ning Rongrong still filled with disgust.

As expected... those guys from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all very annoying.

Flender said: "Go and take this Miss Ning Rongrong's things from her room, and then send her away from here. If she resists, I allow you to use any means."

"Yes!"

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth hard; this was a great insult to her, but for her now...

Being insulted herself was nothing.

But... the sect and her brother could not be insulted like this; she had to demand an explanation no matter what.

"Apologize! You must apologize! Otherwise, I will not let this go today!" Ning Rongrong still looked at Flender unwillingly, demanding an explanation.

"Apologize? Are you worthy? Let me tell you, if you weren't a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you would be nothing, do you understand?" Flender said with immediate disdain.

"You think you are a genius? Wrong, compared to them, you are nothing." He continued to strike at Ning Rongrong, pointing at Tang San and the others beside them one by one.

"Mubai is fifteen years old this year, martial soul White Tiger, Battle Soul Master. Born with double pupils. Level thirty-seven. Possesses two Hundred-Year Spirit Rings and one Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. He is the youngest student in the history of Shrek Academy to reach the level of a thirty-level Soul Elder. He was only thirteen when he reached Soul Elder."

"You... although you seem to have very good talent now and have hopes of breaking through to Soul Elder before thirteen, you borrowed your brother's light and took the Mysterious Water Pill, and given the strength of your brother and your sect, you must have taken quite a few spiritual pills and medicines."

"Your talent is definitely not as good as Mubai's!"

"And if someone can surpass Mubai, it is definitely not you. Tang San and Xiao Wu, at only twelve years old, have already reached the level of twenty-nine-level Great Soul Masters. They are the ones who might surpass Mubai. You were present for the battle between Tang San and Zhao Wuji; you should be very clear about the gap between a Great Soul Master and a Soul Saint. Although Zhao Wuji did not use his full strength, I think you saw the combat power Tang San displayed very clearly. In terms of genius, they are both stronger than you."

"Ma Hongjun, his age is similar to Tang San, Xiao Wu, and you. He entered Shrek Academy at eleven. Although there are defects in his martial soul, the Mutated Martial Soul he possesses is a top-tier Beast Spirit with unique advantages. In terms of martial soul alone, there are few people in the entire Douluo Dalu who can compare to him. His soul power is also no weaker than yours. And this is while he spends part of his effort compensating for his martial soul's defects."

"Zhu Zhuqing, her soul power is similar to yours. But, what makes her different from you is that she has a firm and persistent heart. Zhu Zhuqing, tell me, why did you come to Shrek Academy?"

"To make myself stronger." Zhu Zhuqing said without hesitation at this moment.

"Are you willing to do anything to become stronger?" "I am willing!"

"As for Oscar... although he is also an Auxiliary System Soul Master, Oscar's talent is even above Mubai's, and he has Innate Full Spirit Power! He also has the mindset to be content as an Auxiliary System Soul Master and contribute to the team, unlike you, who wants to become a Battle Soul Master for selfish reasons!"

Oscar just like that used Tang San and the others as examples one by one to belittle Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong, however, did not defend herself at all; she just waited quietly for Flender to finish speaking, then looked at him again.

"I know... I just have a bit of luck, and my true talent is not as good as theirs, but... no matter what, you still have to apologize to my sect and my brother!" She said stubbornly.

"Hmph! Forget it, Mubai! Send the guest off!" Flender was momentarily speechless, and seeing that he couldn't strike Ning Rongrong down like this, he could only say to Dai Mubai.

"Yes! Dean!" Dai Mubai immediately stepped forward and said to Ning Rongrong with a ferocious grin, "Let's go, Miss, don't force me to take action!"

Ning Rongrong ignored him and continued to look at Flender, saying, "You... must apologize! Otherwise, I will not leave here!"

"Mubai! Why are you being so gentlemanly!" Flender was suddenly annoyed and embarrassed, and said to Dai Mubai.

"Get out! You scum of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" Dai Mubai immediately shouted angrily and then gave Ning Rongrong a push.

"You must... apologize!" A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Ning Rongrong's mouth, but she still stood back up and said.

A cold light flared in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, and he said coldly, "Ning Rongrong, do not provoke my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I, Dai Mubai, do not. If you anger me, be careful that I might ravish you before killing you, and then ravish you again..."

But just as these words were spoken...

"You don't fear our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?! Since when does scum from the Star Luo Empire dare to say such things to us of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect within the Heaven Dou Empire?!"

A voice that made no effort to conceal its fury suddenly came from afar.

Then... a sharp green beam of light crossed a distance of several hundred meters, tearing through the air toward Dai Mubai!

"Watch out! Mubai!" Flender's expression changed in an instant, and then, with a swift tumble, he moved at extreme speed to shield Dai Mubai.

Just at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Ning Rongrong.

The refined and elegant man who had stepped back slightly was the first to help Ning Rongrong up, and he smiled at Ning Rongrong, saying, "Rongrong... well done, you didn't lose face, you didn't disgrace our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Only then did Ning Rongrong see the two figures before her clearly; she was somewhat incredulous, but said with some joy, "Big Brother, San Ge!"

Flender shielded Dai Mubai behind him and looked toward Ning Rongrong's side.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others also finally saw the two figures that had appeared before Ning Rongrong; one was dressed in moon-white scholarly robes, looking very gentle yet quite steady.

The other was dressed in an ice-blue martial outfit, his short white hair appearing exceptionally cold, and that oval face was incomparably handsome; it was hard to imagine there could be such a handsome man in this world.

He was simply like a god descended to earth.

In his hand, he held a long, green, tubular weapon, and there was also a dark purple sphere; beneath him, six Soul Rings that looked quite normal were slowly floating.

However, Tang San's pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw that around the neck of the cold and handsome man, there was a unique pendant made of gold and silver.

The luster of the metal on it... it couldn't be wrong! It was absolutely Cold Heart Iron Essence and Deep Sea Sinking Silver Mother! Those were the core materials for the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, the number one Hidden Weapon of his Tang Sect in his previous life!

Tang San's eyes were immediately locked onto it; after all... that was his greatest dream, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus! At this moment, everyone else did not notice him, but instead focused their attention on the two parties in conflict—Ning Rongrong's side and Flender and Dai Mubai.

Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Feiliu and said joyfully, "San Ge..."

Ning Feiliu ignored her, instead continuing to look coldly and arrogantly at Flender and Dai Mubai not far away, saying, "Since when... can scum from the Star Luo Empire insult my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the Heaven Dou Empire? And... what did you just say?"

He looked directly at Flender.

Flender frowned, but his expression remained indifferent.

After all, even if this person was a peerless genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was still only... a Soul Emperor now.

Although he was also somewhat surprised in his heart, how old was this peerless genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now?

Probably only seventeen, right? And he was actually already... a Soul Emperor?

This naturally surprised him greatly, but... as the saying goes, he was only a Soul Emperor.

He was a peak Soul Saint, and Zhao Wuji and the others were in the academy; was he supposed to be afraid of Ning Feiliu? "Since you people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have come, then take your little princess back," Flender said quite arrogantly. "Our Shrek Academy is a small temple and cannot accommodate a big deity like you."

"You're wrong, your place is... shallow waters with too many turtles, a small temple with big demonic winds," Ning Feiliu sneered and said. "A bunch of scum, and you dare to provoke my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"We heard everything you said just now," he looked at Flender and continued, "Although my sister is untalented, she was quite right just now; the sect... cannot be lightly insulted. If you don't apologize, then from today on, Shrek Academy... shall be erased from the Douluo Dalu, even though it was already a trash academy with no reputation to begin with."

He chuckled mockingly, then looked at Dai Mubai and said, "By the way, and your matter of harboring the royal family of the Star Luo Empire... does this behavior imply that you intend to collude with the forces of the Star Luo Empire to cause chaos in my Heaven Dou Empire?"

"The third prince of the Star Luo royal family, Dai Mubai... if there isn't some conspiracy, why would you come to my Heaven Dou Empire?"

Once he said this, Flender frowned.

Dai Mubai, however, broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.

His identity... had actually been discovered?!

Just at this moment, Flender also smiled; he smiled with great confidence and said, "Junior of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you have forgotten that this is not your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and you..."

"Are just a Soul Emperor!"

A little bit of showing off, tears in my eyes; I have no more leave slips for this month, so I will continue to update tonight.
