Chapter 64: Ning Rongrong Has Some M-Elements
"I won't practice anymore. I'm going to eat."
By noon, Ning Rongrong had not yet finished running. She threw the basket full of stones on her back to the ground and prepared to eat.
"Ning Rongrong, why do you stop after running?"
Before leaving the training ground, Flanders forcibly stopped Ning Rongrong. With Ning Fengzhi's orders, he naturally wouldn't indulge her temper.
"Flanders, get out of here! You're just a Soul Saint, and you dare to stop me? Believe it or not, I'll have your legs broken tomorrow."
Ning Rongrong said impatiently, glaring at Flanders.
Flanders didn't expect Ning Rongrong to be so arrogant. No wonder Ning Fengzhi asked him to teach her a lesson.
It's just too bad.
"Although I am just a Soul Saint, that's not something a little girl can say. If you don't want to abide by the rules of our academy, you can leave. Our academy doesn't need waste."
Flanders responded, simply playing on Ning Rongrong's unyielding character to set up the next step.
"You said I was a waste. You should know that I was already a 27th-level Soul Grandmaster at age 12. If I'm a waste, then what about Yu Xiaogang? What were you doing being brothers with a waste?"
Ning Rongrong was unconvinced. If she was a waste, then Yu Xiaogang was worse than one. Wouldn't it be blind to be brothers with Yu Xiaogang?
"Hmph, I just can't break through because of my innate limitations. But what about you?"
Yu Xiaogang also became angry, stepping forward and saying: "Who in Shrek School isn't stronger than you?"
"Tang San, even though his martial soul is only blue silver grass, his soul power level is higher than yours. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai have top-tier beast martial souls. And you—an auxiliary Soul Master—you're only level 29 and can reach level 30 at any time. It's a real shame for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
It must be said that Yu Xiaogang's skill in fooling people is quite good, but it's not very convincing. Oscar is two years older than Ning Rongrong and only two levels higher in soul power. Tang San even has twin martial souls.
"Me, you—"
Ning Rongrong saw Yu Xiaogang belittling her and burst into tears.
"Hmph, you're the least hardworking and most useless among the six in Shrek. It's a shame for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have you."
After saying this, Flanders saw that his effect had been achieved and sternly scolded: "If you think you're useless now, you can leave Shrek. We don't want useless people in our academy."
Feeling overwhelmed, Ning Rongrong ran back to her dormitory crying.
Just like in the original novel, she ended up ostracized by everyone but stayed in Shrek to prove herself.
It makes me wonder if Ning Rongrong has some M elements in her.

In the evening, Qian Renchuan brought Xiao Wu to the Soto City Fighting Soul Arena.
"Brother Chuan, what do you think our team should be called?"
Xiao Wu handed the registration form to Qian Renchuan.
"Why not Qianwu?" Qian Renchuan suggested. Xiao Wu knew her real name, so there was no need to hide it. "Qianwu, Qianwu—great." Xiao Wu muttered happily, realizing she could still say it casually. "Finally, I get to fight!"
She was eager to compete. She didn't know why she was so aggressive. But she just felt like a weak, boneless little rabbit that could be manipulated in front of Qian Renchuan.
Soon, their information was submitted. Because the Soul King was already considered a half-high-level soul master, the difficulty of matching was naturally high. It took some time for the first team to arrive.
"Next, please invite the new team, Qianwu, to fight against the Earth Dragon."
As Xiao Wu and Qian Renchuan stepped onto the stage, two burly men approached from the opposite side.
"Laotian, Martial Soul Earth-Armored Lizard, a level 58 combat soul master. Please instruct me."
"Xiaodi, Martial Soul Earth-Armored Lizard, a level 55 combat soul master. Please advise."
The two simple men introduced themselves first.
Qian Renchuan briefly introduced himself, then heard the referee's voice:
"The game begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Laotian and Xiaodi instantly released their martial soula, and the standard soul ring ratios gradually appeared.
Qian Renchuan chose not to release his soul ring. He wanted to test his strength in his ordinary blue-silver grass form.
"You don't even release your martial soul? You seem very confident."
The two brothers, Laotian, looked slightly surprised but didn't underestimate Qian Renchuan. They suddenly charged forward with fists covered in thick soil.
"Third Soul Skill: Rage of the Stone." 2
Their soul skills were the same, and when superimposed, their power multiplied several times. Suddenly, countless spikes of earth appeared in the arena.
"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow."
Xiao Wu, after using her first soul skill, didn't attack the two opponents directly. Instead, she approached Qian Renchuan, hooking her legs around him and tossing him into the air.
"Bind!"
Blue Silver Grass shot out, lifting Xiao Wu into the air to avoid the ground spikes.
Using the power of the blue silver grass, Xiao Wu then used her soft skills to extend her limbs, reaching Qian Renchuan, and the two met midair.
The two brothers on the ground could only watch. Isn't this bullying a ground-fighting soul master?
"Waist Bow!"
The blue-silver grass instantly exerted its power, helping Xiao Wu descend rapidly. An enormous shockwave made the two brothers beneath sweat on their foreheads.
"Defense!"
They immediately condensed an earth shield above their heads. But soon, they discovered Xiao Wu was pulled back by the blue-silver grass again.
"No—it's a feint!"
Lao Tian just reacted, but saw Qian Renchuan land on the ground silently, his body covered with blue silver weapons.
Before they could react, Qian Renchuan struck out with a punch and then kicked Xiao Di, who had set up the earth shield, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Lao Tian was knocked out of the ring. Although Xiao Di managed to resist Qian Renchuan's kick, he retreated several steps due to the force.
"We admit defeat."
Xiao Di saw his brother was gone and knew he couldn't win. He could only concede. After all, losing to a strong opponent wasn't a shame—at least they had fought.
"Let's announce that the Qianwu team wins."
The referee's voice rang out, and the crowd cheered immediately. The moves by Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu were truly spectacular.
Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu returned to the lounge, but suddenly, there was a knock at the door. When they opened it, they saw a familiar green-haired figure, with a blonde woman standing behind him.
"Brother Qiubai, Sister Tian Yue."
Seeing who was there, Qian Renchuan's eyes lit up. Dugu Qiubai and he had played together every day when they were young. Every night, they would look up at the bright moon at a 45-degree angle. Dugu Qiubai had finally been taken away by Sister Tian Yue for training.
Since Dugu Qiubai had gone to Heaven Dou City, he missed him terribly. After all, he has to endure Sister Xue's torment alone.
"Hehe, Renchuan, did you miss me?"
Although Dugu Qiubai was smiling, he looked calm, with his hands behind his back, speaking in a somewhat pretentious manner.
