They walked with calm steps towards the academy gate under the brightness of the sparkling moonlight, which revealed two people standing in front of the gate.
They were Ning Rong Rong sitting on top of a rock and Oscar standing next to her
Zhou Ziqin crossed as if she didn't see them and entered her residence directly
Dai Mubai frowned, stepped forward with cold eyes, and spoke in a cold voice:
"What are you doing here?"
Ning Rong Rong jumped off the rock and spoke:
"Waiting for you all of course, you are late, where are the dean and fatty ?"
Dai Mubai replied coldly:
"They are busy, what is your decision, will you stay or leave?"
At the back, Naoto looked in surprise and turned his head towards Tang San:
"What really happened?"
Tang San looked at him and spoke:
"I'll tell you later"
Returning to the introduction, Ning Rong Rong said:
"Of course I will stay this place is fun, what about you? Did Zhou Ziqin insult you over there? Oscar said you were an expert-level flirt but you were defeated by a little girl."
Ning Rong Rong was putting salt on the wound, Dai Mubai grew more and more angry and said as his eyes lit up with a cold light:
"This is Shrek Academy, not your home. Others may be afraid of your clan, but I am not afraid. Provoke me and I will kill you."
Ning Rong Rong laughed provocatively and said:
"I'm so scared, oh, show me how you're going to kill me."
Dai Mubai couldn't hold back his anger any longer, if he allowed her to insult her further, others would think he was just being bullied, that's what he was thinking.
Immediately, a golden light came out from his right hand, and in an instant his soul power exploded, causing waves in the air. Ning Rong Rong was so close to him that she could not defend herself or avoid him. The waves of Dai Mubai threw Ning Rong Rong backwards. Fortunately for her, Oscar caught her, but they both fell to the ground.
Dai Mubai walked towards them and seemingly was about to finish her off, Tang San quickly walked over and grabbed Dai Mubai's hand:
"Mobai, we are colleagues, don't hurt her."
Dai Mubai stopped and looked around as if he was thinking about something, then he emptied his soul energy and said:
"Okay, Xiao San, just for you."
Dai Mubai stood up and looked at Ning Rong Rong angrily:
"Remember, don't provoke me or I won't think twice about it."
Dai Mubai left those words and walked through the entrance of the academy
Ning Rong Rong got up from the ground, wiped her tears, and called out loudly:
"Tang San, kill him and I will make you an honored guest in my clan along with ten thousand gold coins."
Tang San walked in front of her, looked at her deeply, and then said:
"Money and power can't buy everything. I don't know what's going on, but if you're going to be like this, you better leave."
Ning Rong Rong frowned slightly and said:
"You...don't you know how powerful my clan is?"
Tang San shook his head regretfully and did not pay attention, and called out to the others
"Guys, let's go back."
Xiao Wu walked without argument behind Tang San, Ning Rong looked at Naoto Hu as well
"Chang Yong, kill him and I will give you the same as what I gave Tang San."
After Ning Rong Rong failed to get Tang San's help, she felt that Naoto was different from an ordinary Spirit Master even though he was from the supporting branch like her, so unlike Tang San, she hoped that he would help her.
Naoto looked at her and felt nothing but regret
"Why should I?"
It was a surprising question for Ning Rongrong, after observing it for some time, it was clear that Naoto's personality was considerate towards his comrades so she thought he would agree.
"If the problem is money, I can ask Wal-"
"You act arrogantly as if you were something important. You may be the daughter of a large clan, but without your clan , who are you? You're no different from us"
Naoto turned and entered the academy, and Yuan Ling followed him. Seeing their departing backs, she remained frozen in place. She was originally angry at Dai Mubai's disdain for her, now the addition of Tang San and zhang yong made her even more angry. The environment she was living in could be described in one word, "Luxury." Which made her more arrogant, and it most painful medicine is awareness. When she realizes her actions and their consequences, then she will grow
--------------------------
Early in the morning, Zhang Yong woke up from his sleep. When he turned to his adjacent bed, Tang San had already left for his morning training. He got out of bed and looked at his clothes.
"My clothes are torn from yesterday's fight, here's a chance to get new clothes."
Naoto opened the system and bought new clothes
(Name: Black manly kimono

)
After getting dressed, Zhang Yong left his residence, headed to Oscar's residence, and quietly knocked on the door
"Come in," Oscar spoke from inside
Zhang Yong entered the room smiling, "I came to check on you after what happened yesterday."
Contrary to what Zhang Yong imagined, Oscar was smiling, "Zhang Yong, the book you gave me yesterday was useful, I broke through to rank thirty in one night."
Zhang Yong was astonished for a moment, no matter how strong his technique was, it was impossible for it to show such a rapid effect, unless Oscar had enough talent to advance so quickly.
Zhang Yong couldn't help but smile and patted Oscar's shoulder, "Congratulations, but it's also because of your hard work."
Zhang Yong thought for a moment and then said, "I don't want to ruin your happy mood, but regarding what happened yesterday, I would just like to say, don't change your decision for Rong Rong."
Oscar's eyes widened for a moment, "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Yong sighed sarcastically, "Everyone of us lived a different life. For her, as the only daughter of the clan head, she was pampered, so it's no wonder her personality was like this. What the dean did was just to break her arrogant personality, nothing more. And now after what happened, I'm sure she'll review her actions, to put it easy , just ignore her."
'Believe it or not, she will become your wife in the future, man.' Zhang Yong couldn't help but think about this internally and sigh.
Oscar showed a disappointed expression, "Isn't ignoring her a bit excessive?"
Zhang Yong smiled as he closed his eyes, "Maybe or maybe not, but you also have to let her have her freedom. You can't force anyone to stay by your side. I've always believed that life is a series of choices. You can't change the choices you've made, but you're the one who will decide how to face the next choices , And the best way to do that is to have the power"
"Power…" Oscar echoed after Zhang Yong as he stared blankly
Zhang Yong pointed out, "Okay, since you're already awake, would you like to join me?"
Oscar became puzzled and asked, "What about?"
Zhang Yong smiled defiantly, "Didn't we say we need strength? We need to train our bodies first, come with me."
The two of them left the room and stood at the beginning of the path they had started from yesterday in the first lesson
Zhang Yong began to stretch a little before Oscar asked him, "Aren't we going to have breakfast? Honestly, I still feel sleepy and want to sleep."
Zhang Yong stood up straight and smiled, "If you get hungry you can just eat your sausage, now let's start running."
Oscar's brow rose at this strange response, but before he could say anything, Zhang Yong immediately started running in front of him.
Oscar watched him for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and joining him for a run
After some time, the school bell rang and the two returned to the main square, where everyone had just arrived at the square with Flender.
The two stood in front of the dean, where Flender was surprised, "It's rare to see Oscar wake up this early."
Zhang Yong smiled slightly, "Actually, there is another surprise." Zhang Yong pushed Oscar forward slightly, "Tell them."
Oscar scratched the back of his head, "Actually, I broke through to rank 30 this morning."
Everyone looked at Oscar in amazement, not just because he was just a breakthrough
In the entire Soul Continent, food spirits like Oscar were difficult to cultivate and develop. It was difficult to find a food spirit master at rank thirty, and the higher the rank, the rarer it became. What was even more rare was that he had reached this level at the age of fourteen.
Flender's eyes sparkled and he said:
"Good, you did not let me down. Currently, you are one of the two students who have reached rank thirty, I congratulate you."
Dai Mobai stepped up and patted Oscar's shoulder
"Xiao Ao, congratulations to you, even though you are slower than me but you are a food Soul Master which makes you more talented than me, tell me does being jilted help a Soul Master break through?"
He stared awkwardly at Dai Mubai, then looked at Ning Rongrong , and remember what did zhang yong told him before ,and smiled wryly:
"I don't have a girlfriend, how can I be jilted?"
Everyone came forward and offered their congratulations to Oscar, but Ning Rong Rong kept her head bowed and Zhou Ziqin did not participate.
"Okay, today's lesson will start now. Today's lesson is very simple. You have to eat the sausages that Oscar prepares with the strength of his soul."
Xiao Wu shouted when she heard the dean's words:
"What, what's this lesson?"
Flounder said:
"Adaptability, although Oscar's spells are a bit cliche, he is talented. Since you will be studying together, isn't this an opportunity to gain a useful companion for you? Besides, in the world of Soul Masters, you should find any chance of survival, whether by foul or fair means, rather than sausages You may have to eat rats or cockroaches."
As strange as it was it also made sense, the girls' faces changed at the same time and their faces became pale
"This is mandatory training. If you don't want to do it, you can leave the academy. This is training for monsters, not ordinary people. Oscar, start."
Flender stood in front of them with a cold expression, preventing them from even cheating
Oscar extended his hands simultaneously and with a smile on his face he uttered the incantation
"I'm your father. I have a big hot dog."
"I'm your father, I have a little hot dog."
A hot dog appeared in both of his hands, one thick and the other thin. Then he smiled as he said:
"Who wants to start"
Zhang Yong pointed to the sausage and smiled, then said:
"Guys, it's really delicious. I bear witness to that. The hot dogs are made from soul energy"Then he continued jokingly"not from real dogs after all"
No one could speak. Unexpectedly, Ning Rong Rong stepped forward, which surprised everyone a little. She swallowed the sausage with tears in the side of her eyes and her cheeks turned a little pink, but once she ate it all, she didn't look bad. Then Zhang Yong came forward, followed by Tang San. He was followed by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu and Yuan Ling, and finally, under Flender's urging, Zhou Ziqin ate the sausage.
Then the dean nodded his head and said:
"Good, you have passed the test, everyone. Oscar is your supply in battle. Go, you have one day to rest and prepare, and tomorrow morning you will go with Master Zhao to the Great Star Du Forest to help Oscar obtain the third soul ring. It is not just about Oscar it's Training for all of you, and don't place your hopes on Zhao Wuji. He won't interfere unless there's a need. Everything depends on you. Fine, you can leave."
Flender left with a happy face leaving the Shrek members in the arena
Zhang Yong wrapped his arm around Oscar's neck and shouted, "Come on, everyone, let's celebrate Oscar's progress."
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, "Are you going to cook for us?"
Zhang Yong raised his hands crossed, "Forbidden."
Dissatisfaction appeared on Xiao Wu's face, "Heh? Why?"
"Of course, since this young man here deserves luxurious food, we can't mistreat him by making him eat my ordinary cooking."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but stare blankly at Zhang Yong, since when had he considered his cooking to be average
Ma Hongjun shouted with the offer of free food, "We will eat at your expense, get ready. This brother here will empty your wallet."
Zhang Yong couldn't help but sneer, 'Let me see if you can take ten thousand gold coins.'
Everyone headed towards Soto City, but two people did not join, Ning Rong Rong because she was worried about what happened yesterday, and Zhou Ziqin did not have any desire to participate.
Inside a restaurant in Soto City that could not be rated less than three stars, the seven people were sitting at a table
Oscar couldn't help but notice the place, "This place is luxurious, are you sure, Xiao Yong?"
Zhang Yong gestured with his hand, "Of course, you are a rare talent and we should be proud of you, now ask."
Ma Hongjun immediately started first, "Okay, I won't be polite."
Ma Hongjun immediately ordered a dish of every type and type
Then he smiled maliciously at Zhang Yong, "How about a competition of who can eat the most?"
Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help but whisper, "Fatty, don't compete with Zhang Yong."
Dai Mubai laughed on the side, "Xiao San, let Fatty compete with Xiao Yong, maybe he will learn some self-control."
Ma Hongjun laughed slightly, "I may not be able to defeat him in a fight, but I am confident of defeating him in an eating contest."
Tang San helplessly sighed as Zhang Yong's eyes shone "Well since you're confident why don't we test it, you'll have to eat and even the evil fire won't be enough to help you to digest."
Hearing that, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, as if he was about to enter a tiger's den, but what did he need to think about He said quickly "Okay, let's start eating."
As soon as the food arrived, the two closed themselves at the table and began eating voraciously
The rest of them ignored the two and ate their food quietly
Not long after, Zhang Yong leaned back in his chair, patting his stomach. In front of him, more than twenty dishes were placed stacked one on top of the other. "This was really delicious."
Ma Honghun burped as he was in the same position as Zhang Yong but with fifteen plates in front of him stacked in the same way, "I admit it's my loss."
Xiao Wu scolded, "You two are acting like little boys just for the sake of competition."
Zhang Yong raised his finger and moved it left and right, "No, no, no, we did this because we are the boys."
Ma Hongjun belched again and turned to Dai Mubai, "Boss Dai, are you going to play after the game? Take me with you."
Dai Mubai raised his arm, "No way, I'm going to find the twins, they won't show any interest in you at all."
Ma Hongjun turned towards Zhang Yong, "Zhang Yong, how about you lend me some money, or do you know what, why don't you come with me, I'm sure with your looks you will definitely attract a girl or two."
"No! He can't!" Yuan Ling immediately shouted as she forcefully placed her hands on the table.
Everyone looked at her while she bowed her head in shame and muttered in a low voice, "This is not a place you should go."
Zhang Yong was a little surprised, yet he still smiled, "Fatty, do you think I'm like you, you can go because it has to do with your life, but there is something more important to me than this."
"Oh." A malicious glare appeared in Ma Hongjun's eyes, "What is it?"
"Training of course"
everyone"....."
His response left them completely shocked, they seemed to have expected a different response
Oscar raised his hands helplessly as he sneered, "You cannot help someone who does not want to be helped."
Xiao Wu laughed lightly, "Zhang Yong hasn't changed since we were kids."
Zhang Yong leaned over the table, "Maybe you're not wrong that I might be addicted to cultivation, but as you know, in this world only the strong speak, while the weak have to obey after all."
Everyone fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. Zhang Yong's words were matter-of-fact and everyone present had something they wanted to protect or achieve after all.
Ma Hongjun was the first to break the silence, and let out a loud voice. "Okay, I'm quite full. I'll go now, see you all later." He got up from the table and left
Dai Mubai clapped his hands, "Okay everyone, we still have a trip tomorrow. Let's all go get ready."
Everyone nodded and left the restaurant
At Shrek Academy, everyone had gone back to their rooms to prepare for tomorrow
While Oscar pulled Zhang Yong alone
Zhang Yong stared at Oscar and knew that he was rather excited, "What's the matter, are you feeling a little confused?"
Oscar smiled softly, "In a way, did you see Rong Rong today? She came forward first. This is a show of her intention to change."
Zhang Yong nodded, "That's right, isn't that good? But it's still too early to judge."
"You're right," Oscar sighed deeply, but then his eyes lit up with excitement, "But on the other hand, I can't wait to get my third soul ring. What do you expect it to be, will it be strong. And what kind of sausage will I make with it?"
Zhang Yong raised his arms"calm down ,you're excited and it's good, don't worry. As long as I'm with you, you'll definitely get a good soul ring."
Upon hearing that, Oscar looked deeply at Zhang Yong, "May I ask, what level are you really at?"
Hearing that, Zhang Yong was a little surprised, but his expression was still normal, "What makes you think that I hide my level?"
Oikar raised his finger and began to hint, "First of all, you are an Auxiliary Spirit Master, but despite what you said, your special spirit ability is only healing and one of them is Mist, although I don't know about your other ring but it is definitely not of the Auxiliary type."
Then he raised his second finger, "Secondly, you were able to defeat the fat one who is on the same level as you, despite his use of fire, by using only your body, but your soul is a tree and therefore you should be affected by it, but you did not."
Then he raised his third finger. "And thirdly and finally, the skill you gave me allows me to absorb spiritual energy from any natural place. The closer the item is to your attribute and location, the faster your training will be. For me, training in a place that contains fire can speed up my training, but your soul can be supported by wood." And earth and water, with all these possibilities and your addiction to cultivation, I find it unbelievable that you are lower than Tang San, so I can say that you are rank thirtieth if you have not hidden other soul rings, then at least you are rank fortieth."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Yong was shocked, from just simple things he had already known his true level, which made him feel terrified by the power of his intelligence.
Zhang Yong burst out laughing, "I didn't expect you to think so much about me, then if it's true, what will you do?"
Oscar smiled calmly, "Nothing really. Did we not say that we are brothers? I will not betray my brother, and if the matter is really as I think, and you are in the fortieth rank and you want to keep the matter a secret, then I will carry your secret with me to the grave."
Zhang Yong felt like laughing at himself, 'In my past life, I didn't have anyone to call a friend, but today I gained a brother, how ironic.'
Zhang Yong approached and walked beside Oscar, "Come on, we have to go rest, and don't forget what I told you, don't change your decision regarding Rong Rong."
Oscar smiled as well, "And you try not to back down for Yuan Ling."
Zhang Yong's expression stopped and he sneered, 'I will still look at her as my younger sister, no more and no less. The real difference in age between us is 15 years, but seriously, i can't say this to anyone.'
