With the "Imperial Sword of Authority" in hand, Flender felt completely confident.
He cleared his throat and announced loudly—
"You can either pack your things and get out, or prove to me your determination to change."
Dai Mubai and the others inwardly shivered! The Dean dared to scold even the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like this?
Wouldn't that mean he'd be even more ruthless with them?
They immediately quickened their pace.
Seeing this, Flender nodded inwardly.
This was the exact effect he wanted.
However… "Heh!" Ning Rongrong sneered, "I'm not leaving. What can you do to me, Flender?"
Flender didn't get angry. He simply waved his hand.
"Mubai, go pack this young lady's luggage and throw it out of the academy."
"You dare!" Ning Rongrong said angrily, "In my entire life, you're the first and second person to dare treat me like this!"
Flender ignored her and glared at Dai Mubai.
"Aren't you going?"
Dai Mubai felt a pang of bitterness.
Why was he being treated like a errand boy?
But he didn't dare to defy Flender, so he could only start walking away.
He even deliberately slowed his pace, giving Ning Rongrong a chance to apologize.
Unexpectedly… "Don't you dare go!" Ning Rongrong said in exasperation, "If you go, I'll definitely have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect put a bounty on you!"
Dai Mubai also had his pride.
He disdainfully glanced at Ning Rongrong and activated his Martial Soul, then dashed off at full speed!
Flender was stunned.
—He just wanted to scare Ning Rongrong a little, why did she have to take it seriously? But since things had come to this, it was difficult to call him back.
He continued his lecture—
"No matter if you're the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or not, in my eyes, you're just a Soul Grand Master."
"Everyone present has talent that surpasses yours."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, filled with defiance! She swept her gaze across the scene.
She selectively skipped Tang Lan, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing – their levels were all higher than hers.
Her gaze wavered over Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
Finally, she locked onto Oscar, another Support Soul Master.
Pointing at him, she confidently declared, "No matter what, I'm still better than this perverted uncle, right?"
Oscar: (●—●) Perverted. Uncle?
His initial thought of keeping his distance became even more resolute.
This young lady is too much to handle.
"Oh?" Flender retorted, "Have you ever seen a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power?"
This was a bombshell that left Ning Rongrong stunned!
Her first reaction was denial!
"Impossible!"
"How can an auxiliary Martial Soul have innate full Soul Power?"
Flender chuckled.
It was as if he was laughing at Ning Rongrong's ignorance.
"Oscar is unprecedented."
"Given time, it's not impossible for him to replace your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, unable to believe what she was hearing.
Suddenly.
Flender called out, "Xiao Lan, come out for a moment."
Tang Lan blinked.
Was he being drawn into the drama? He walked out, confused.
Flender said, "Take off your weights."
Tang Lan suddenly understood.
This is a heavy blow meant for Ning Rongrong!
He took off his wrist guards and casually tossed them aside.
"Bang—"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled everyone! Following the sound, they saw the wrist guards embedded in the ground, creating small craters.
How heavy could they be? "Bang—"
The wrist guards struck again, creating another pit.
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
Two shoes were flung away, creating two more holes.
"Boom—"
That was the sound of his belt, and everyone felt a slight tremor in the ground! Most outrageous of all, Tang Lan took off his jacket, then his black vest underneath, revealing explosive muscles like reinforced steel.
He casually tossed it away—
"Rumble—"
Nearby pebbles were even jolted into the air by the impact! "Hiss—"
A chorus of gasps! Zhao Wuji's mouth twitched—this little brat was still wearing weights when he fought me yesterday? Seriously, who can relate? He underestimated a Soul Sage that much?
And yet, Zhao Wuji was still the one at a disadvantage!
Even Flender was startled.
He recognized them as weights, but he didn't know they were this heavy! "Xiao Lan, how many pounds are those weights of yours?" Flender asked.
"Two hundred jin for each wrist guard, four hundred jin for each shoe, eight hundred jin for the belt, and one thousand jin for the vest. Exactly three thousand jin in total," Tang Lan replied.
Everyone was stunned to hear this! Wait a minute!
Was Tang Lan still wearing these weights inside the gravity zone earlier? Everyone's minds buzzed, unwilling to face reality.
After a few seconds, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked at Xiao Wu, her gaze falling on Xiao Wu's pink wrist guards.
"You…"
"I'm not as strong as big brother," Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "My total weight is only nine hundred jin."
Tang San quietly retreated behind everyone else. He felt too embarrassed to mention his two hundred and fifty jin.
"After all, if it's too heavy, you won't grow."
"Ning Rongrong," Flender continued his lecture, "Those stronger than you are even more diligent."
"What right do you have to be proud?"
"Of everyone here, you—"
"Are the weakest!"
Ning Rongrong felt as if she'd been struck a heavy blow! When had the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever been treated like this?
Yet, she couldn't refute him, feeling a suffocating sense of injustice.
Thinking back to last night's encounter, sorrow welled up within her—
She glared fiercely at Tang Lan! "I hate you!"
She turned and sprinted away, a few tears falling from her eyes and shattering on the ground.
This left Tang Lan completely bewildered.
Why do you hate me?
Flender is the one lecturing you!
Flender, being experienced, saw something going on.
"Xiao Lan, go tell Mubai to come back, and stop packing Rongrong's luggage."
"Then go comfort Rongrong."
Tang Lan slowly formed a question mark. What are you doing, Dean? But he still nodded, putting on the weighted gear.
He activated his Blue Silver Domain, using a mental link to have the Blue Silver Grass transmit the message.
—Dai Mubai carried his life-soul, the Blue Silver Emperor seed, and could receive this message.
At the same time, he reassured Xiao Wu, "I'll be right back, don't worry."
He then went straight after Ning Rongrong.
Flender breathed a sigh of relief; this hurdle had been cleared.
Turning back, he saw Ma Hongjun still trailing at the back of the group.
His expression darkened! "Ma Hongjun! If you can't run, your master will push you!"
"Ahhh! I was wrong!!!"
Ning Rongrong hid in a tree, weeping uncontrollably.
She was utterly wronged.
— I've never felt so wronged in my entire life! She continued to curse loudly as she cried.
"When I get back, I'll have my dad buy this rotten school!"
"And Dai Mubai, I'll have Grandpa Bone hang him up and whip him!"
"And that hateful Tang Lan, I'll have Grandpa Sword arrest him and make him play that roulette game too!"
Tang Lan listened and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Even now, you're still throwing a spoiled brat tantrum?"
As soon as he spoke, Ning Rongrong was so startled she shot off the tree.
Tang Lan flicked out a life soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, and wrapped it around her, pulling her back.
"Let me go!" Ning Rongrong struggled, "I don't need you…"
"Splat—"
Ning Rongrong fell to the ground, her head ringing.
— Did this scoundrel really let go of me? She was just saying that in anger!
He really wasn't indulging her at all.
Tang Lan jumped down from the tree trunk and crouched in front of Ning Rongrong.
"Can't you see? Without your father's promise, would the dean dare treat you like this?"
"If you go back and cause trouble now, you'll only disappoint your father."
Although Ning Rongrong had a willful personality, her mind was still sharp.
Once this was pointed out, she understood.
"Dad also thinks my personality is bad…"
"What else do you think?" Tang Lan said irritably, "Would you want your daughter to be willful, capricious, disrespectful to elders, and hang people up at the slightest provocation?"
Ning Rongrong fell silent.
Tang Lan continued his tirade—forget comforting her, he wanted Ning Rongrong to see herself clearly! "You've never had a friend you could speak your true mind to, have you?"
"Of course not, how could you have friends?"
"Those guards of yours would die for you due to their duty, but ask them, who would be willing to entrust their back to you?"
"People may be divided into classes, but you are a support Soul Master, and you have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower with no offensive power."
"In the future, when your father passes away and you inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you'll find there's no one you can trust."
"Will your Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Bone truly stay by your side for your entire life?"
"When you hold a high position, where will you find companions to confide in?"
"You…"
"Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?"
Each sentence, each word, pierced Ning Rongrong's heart like a sharp blade.
Just thinking about the future Tang Lan described filled Ning Rongrong with dread! No! She absolutely refused such a future, even if it meant death!
However, her long-held pride prevented her from simply lowering her head. She stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
[Host caused Ning Rongrong to realize her mistake and gained her approval, receiving the blessing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's fortune. Seized a moderate amount of Tang San's fortune!]
[Reward: "Mastery of Individual Shoulder-Fired Long-Barreled Firearms"!]
Simply put, rifles. They possess greater lethality than submachine guns, with effective ranges varying from 400 to 1000 meters, and can be fitted with grenade launcher attachments for firing rifle grenades.
The most marvelous of all… sniper rifles, also known as sniper rifles! The structure of a sniper rifle is fundamentally the same as a regular rifle. The difference lies in the fact that sniper rifles are equipped with telescopic sights for precise aiming. Their barrels are also specially processed for high accuracy, enabling long-range sniping.
Since the reward was obtained, it meant Ning Rongrong had come to her senses. Tang Lan turned and left. He wanted to give her some space to reflect on her own. Ning Rongrong raised her hand, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to ask him to stay. She watched Tang Lan walk away.
He returned to the training grounds.
Nodding to Flender, he walked directly to Zhao Wuji's side.
"What, kid, planning to slack off?" Zhao Wuji teased.
Then, Tang Lan took out a forging platform from the Blue King!
He then summoned the Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer and began hammering iron in this gravity area!
Both Zhao Wuji and Flender watched, utterly dumbfounded.
They both had personal experience with the weight of the Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer.
With the gravity amplification, it must weigh over 5000 jin, right? Tang Lan could still swing it! Just how terrifying was this kid's strength?
Beside them, Tang San was also inspired and dashed over to Flender.
"Dean Flender, I want to do forging instead of running, just like my brother!"
Flender raised an eyebrow! Could it be that Tang San's strength was also as monstrous as Tang Lan's? Yu Xiaogang hadn't mentioned it in his letter! But he still nodded in agreement.
Tang San immediately ran back to the dorm and returned carrying a forging platform.
He placed it with difficulty next to Zhao Wuji, but did not summon the Clear Sky Hammer.
—The Clear Sky Hammer consumed an immense amount of soul power, which he couldn't maintain for long.
However, Tang San struggled to even lift an ordinary hundred-jin forging hammer.
He had to remove his weights to slightly more smoothly execute the Chaotic Cape Hammer Technique.
"Clang—"
"Clang—"
"Clang—"
The sound of hammering iron was incessant.
Tang Lan's Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer possessed a built-in flame attribute.
As he struck, it simultaneously refined the metal, with piece after piece of components directly taking shape.
The efficiency was astonishing.
He wasn't afraid of being secretly learned from at all.
Although Tang San lacked the flame attribute, the Chaotic Cape Hammer Technique could still simply shape the metal.
This would save a lot of time later.
But. All Tang San produced were pieces of thousand-forged steel.
The main point was to be prepared against others.
This was perfectly acceptable.
But placing one piece for comparison. The difference in caliber was immediately apparent.
Although no one said anything, they all had their own judgments.
[Host has gained significant recognition from Shrek, seizing a trace amount of Tang San's luck!]
[Reward: "Soul Ring Lifespan +100"!]
The Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Lan's hand swung a little faster.
At the same time,
He felt deeply satisfied with his decision to insist on coming to Shrek.
Although Shrek lacked hardware support.
It didn't have much of an impact on him and Xiao Wu.
As long as Tang Lan maintained his pure Yang body, his cultivation speed would naturally be rapid.
Xiao Wu, being a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit, didn't have high demands for her environment. Not to mention they cultivated together every night.
This was a huge profit!
This training session,
Ultimately ended with Zhao Wuji's soul power depleted, forcing him to stop.
Dai Mubai and the others all collapsed on the ground, completely devoid of any composure.
Oscar, with the weakest physique, fainted on the spot.
In contrast, Tang Lan, still looked "unsatisfied."
While forging within the gravity field was difficult, it was also extremely thorough.
It could evenly condition every muscle and even train the internal organs.
—This was a paid feature in novels!
Tang Lan pondered, Perhaps he should teach Zhao Wuji the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Even just the first three layers would be enough to accelerate his soul power recovery.
Allowing him to last longer.
It's just that he can't just hand over cultivation methods for free; he's not that selfless.
He had to ponder how to maximize his benefits.
"Alright," Flender announced, "Today's training ends here. Teacher Shao has prepared dinner. Everyone, rest for a bit and then go eat."
and helped Zhao Wuji up, then left.
After a while,
Dai Mubai was the first to recover. He stared at Tang Lan with a strange expression.
"Little Lan, you're too monstrous!"
"Tell me about it," Tang San couldn't help but chime in. "My hammer is only 100 jin, but Brother's Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer is 2000 jin!"
Good heavens! Ma Hongjun sat up from his near-death state, his eyes wide as saucers! "With Teacher Zhao's gravity amplification, that must be over 5000 jin?"
A sense of powerlessness rose in everyone's hearts.
They couldn't compare, they simply couldn't compare.
Xiao Wu's expression was proud, feeling honored by association.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze flickered.
The way she looked at Tang Lan was subtly changing.
Admiration for strength is a natural tendency for women.
Especially considering Zhu Zhuqing's upbringing, she had known the law of the jungle since childhood.
Not to mention that she and Tang Lan shared a "Martial Soul Fusion Skill." At this moment,
Dai Mubai walked over and extended his hand to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, let me help you to the cafeteria."
