Ning Rongrong, who Ning Fengzhi said wouldn't suffer much, faced a harsh challenge right from the start.
With Luo Ye's reminder, although Ning Rongrong felt extremely tired and kept cursing Flander in her heart, she still successfully completed the entire run.
She wanted to see what other ways Flander could find trouble for her after she had already run twenty full laps around the circle as he instructed.
When they gathered in the evening, Flander's gaze lingered on Ning Rongrong, his eyes looking very strange.
'This shouldn't be happening. How did Ning Rongrong actually run twenty laps? With her pampered personality, it's impossible for her to obediently listen.'
'After all, I'm just a Soul Saint, practically insignificant in front of the enormous Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, yet she actually ran twenty laps according to my instructions?'
Flander felt a bit of doubt about life, feeling for the first time that he had misjudged someone.
His original intention was that as long as Ning Rongrong didn't finish the run, or if she went to eat lunch midway, he would severely reprimand her in front of everyone to achieve the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
So, after a discussion with Tang San, Flander had been secretly following Ning Rongrong, only to watch her run the full twenty laps before going to eat.
Although she was so tired that her steps were a bit shaky along the way, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
This was not a pampered young lady at all; she was clearly a persistent little genius.
Sensing Flander's confusion, Ning Rongrong snorted, puffing out her chest proudly; although small, it was also very cute.
Since Ning Rongrong finished the entire run, Flander naturally had no reasonable excuse to trouble her. If he were to target Ning Rongrong without reason, he would be like an old man eating arsenic, asking for a short life.
Ning Rongrong's background was in no way inferior to Tang San's.
Thinking of this, Flander cleared his throat and said.
"Oscar and Ning Rongrong's performance was very good. They ran twenty laps around the village according to my orders. If you want to stay and cultivate at the academy, you must obey the academy's rules like this and not violate my instructions. My words here are commands."
"Next, your first lesson will begin. Don't blame me for not reminding you beforehand; if you don't perform well enough, you could be lightly injured, or in severe cases, your life could be in danger."
"Alright, now follow me."
Everyone followed behind Flander towards Soto City, but Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.
As Luo Ye said, Shrek Academy was not like an academy at all, and Flander was even less like a Dean.
They kept saying they had to obey orders; were they treating them as subordinates?
An academy being stricter than a sect in this regard was absolutely unreasonable.
Just as they were secretly complaining, the diary in their minds pulsed again.
[Hahaha, Flander is dumbfounded, right? After my reminder, Ning Rongrong no longer slacked off like in her previous life but seriously completed the entire run, causing his plan to fall through completely and making it impossible for him to continue suppressing Ning Rongrong like that.]
[With the advantage of rebirth, I can easily disrupt the schemes of Flander, Tang San, and others.]
[However, I can't become complacent just because I've gained a small advantage. Since I don't want the tragedy of the previous life to repeat, I must not let my guard down no matter what.]
[Speaking of which, this guy Flander is now preparing to take us to the Soto City Soul Fighting Arena to participate in soul fights. He's really a hands-off manager.]
[Other academies teach students with all their heart and soul, unlike Shrek, which just throws students into the Soul Fighting Arena and leaves them to their own devices.]
[Oh no, it's not that he doesn't care, but rather he places bets on us and makes us earn money for him, yet he calls it training students' practical combat ability, using such a high-sounding excuse to fool the students.]
[If students are in the Soul Fighting Arena every day, what's the use of him as a Dean and the Teachers of Shrek? Which academy on the Continent operates like them?]
[Besides soul fights, there's running. These are Shrek's two major teaching methods; it's simply a peculiar flower.]
[No wonder the number of students who successfully graduated from Shrek Academy is so few. They either died on the way to obtain soul rings or met with accidents in the Soul Fighting Arena.]
[Tsk, if it weren't to take Zhu Qing and the other two away with me, I wouldn't want to stay in this disgusting place for even a second.]
[If there are soul fights, besides individual battles, there will also be team battles and double battles. Unfortunately, I am already a Soul Grandmaster and cannot team up with Soul Grandmasters. Otherwise, I could take this opportunity to also form a two-person team with Ning Rongrong and get closer to her.]
[But it doesn't matter. I can completely let Zhu Qing team up with her. Given Zhu Qing's current relationship with me, Zhu Qing teaming up with Ning Rongrong is equivalent to me teaming up with her.]
[When our relationship becomes closer in the future, it won't be difficult to persuade Ning Rongrong to leave with us. It's just Xiao Wu who is a bit difficult to handle.]
Xiao Wu really wanted to tell Luo Ye that she was willing to leave Shrek with them right now, but she couldn't speak.
Today, because her attitude changed too quickly, Luo Ye almost discovered the anomaly. Next, she must restrain herself and not be so eager.
Moreover, she had already discussed with Zhu Zhuqing to approach Luo Ye using Zhu Zhuqing's name in the future, ensuring it was reasonable, and try to get closer to Luo Ye in the shortest possible time.
Even Ning Rongrong strongly agreed with this point.
However, unlike Xiao Wu, who had so many concerns, Ning Rongrong was different.
Anyway, she didn't have a deep relationship with Shrek yet, so she could approach Luo Ye without any reservations, and there wouldn't be anything strange about it.
After all, the entire Continent knew that due to the limitations of their martial souls, people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had always liked to recruit geniuses.
For a genius like Luo Ye, who reached the three-ring Soul Grandmaster level at such a young age, even Ning Fengzhi would probably try to invest in and recruit him, and might even actively try to bring Ning Rongrong and Luo Ye together.
Ning Rongrong really wanted to complain now. She was now truly certain that Shrek Academy and Flander were very unreliable.
No wonder Flander said that if they didn't perform well, they would be lightly injured, or in severe cases, even die.
The number of Soul Masters who died in the Soul Fighting Arena was countless. Once they stepped onto the fighting platform, life and death were in the hands of fate.
After all, in Soul Master battles, it's often difficult to control whether or not to hold back. One wrong move and you could kill someone, or be killed by someone.
Letting newly enrolled students go to the Soul Fighting Arena, Flander really managed to come up with such a method.
I'm currently working on another book. If you're interested, you can check it out. There's a link below, and you can also see it by clicking on the author's homepage.
It's also Douluo Dalu 1, extremely satisfying, and it abuses Tang San in various ways.
