"Hmph, it's your fault for not disciplining your disciple properly."
"If he hasn't even learned the basics of how to behave, how can he become an outstanding Soul Master?"
Chen Xin's words not only stung Yu Xiaogang, but also Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang forced a smile. "I will strictly discipline my disciple when we get back."
"That's for the best, or else he'll go out and cause trouble for girls," Ning Rongrong said, arms crossed, pouting.
Under the gaze of Xiao Wu and the others, Yu Xiaogang carried Tang San away without looking back, disappearing from their sight.
"Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu!"
"Ah?! What's wrong, Rongrong?" Xiao Wu, who had just snapped out of it, looked at Ning Rongrong with a dazed expression.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about how such a small place has gathered some remarkable people." Xiao Wu shook her head and chuckled.
First, there was Chen Qingling, the daughter of a reclusive strong individual, and now Tang San, the son of Clear Sky Douluo.
"That's right! Could there be a hidden secret about Notting Academy?" Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiao Wu.
"Rongrong, you always have so many wild ideas." Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. She had been at Notting Academy for over a year.
And she even had younger students as followers. What kind of hidden secrets could Notting Academy possibly have?
"Ahaha...I was just guessing, wasn't I?"
Chen Xin left tactfully, giving Rongrong and Xiao Wu some time alone.
On the other side, in the infirmary.
Yu Xiaogang looked worried. "Doctor? How is he? What's Tang San's condition?"
"The situation isn't optimistic. He has nineteen broken ribs."
Yu Xiaogang was startled by the number of broken ribs. "How many? Nineteen?"
"Then... can he be cured?"
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was terrified, fearing something might happen to Tang San. He worried it would affect the practical proof of his theory on the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls.
"He can definitely be cured, but it will take a long time. After recovery, he'll need to rest for half a month, or his ribs might break again."
"If that happens, it will be impossible to cure him, and he'll be left with lingering internal injuries."
Showing off always comes at a price.
"However… there's something else you need to know beforehand."
Seeing the Doctor's grave expression, Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat. A bad feeling washed over him.
"What is it?"
"His ribs are severely damaged, and there's some damage to his lower body. He might experience… reduced size and strength."
"Huh?!" Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.
Tang San, lying on the bed, heard every word. He felt utterly terrible.
"No!"
"How could this happen! How could this happen!"
"Aaaah! They did this to me! I want to torture them, to slice them to pieces! I want to slowly torment them to death!"
Perhaps it was because Tang San's words were too emotional, but he passed out again.
Who could accept being so… weak?
If Yu Xiaogang were in his shoes, he wouldn't be able to accept it either. He might as well be dead; he wouldn't have the face to live.
"Sigh!"
Yu Xiaogang sighed helplessly. When Tang San woke up, he would have to comfort him properly, or else he might do something rash.
Pain, it was so painful.
Soto City, Great Soul Arena.
Chen Qingling in the waiting room suddenly sneezed several times.
"Hmm… strange…"
"Why am I sneezing? Could it be Xiao Wu and Rongrong are thinking of me!"
Then, it was Chen Qingling's turn to go on stage, and she still achieved a one-hit kill, showing no mercy.
Two consecutive wins, three consecutive wins…
Chen Qingling was unstoppable; no one in the same rank could put up a fight, not a single one could withstand her.
In response, Chen Qingling shook her head in disappointment, "This is what you call getting stronger? I don't feel anything."
Wang Qing was speechless, "Who knew you were so powerful? You're invincible against anyone in the same rank."
Due to the circumstances, the host of the Soto Great Soul Arena made an exception and allowed Qingling to challenge a Soul Master who was a rank above her.
Despite this, Chen Qingling still had the upper hand, completely overwhelming the Soul Ancestor.
They couldn't win, they just couldn't.
The staff from the Great Soul Arena were sweating profusely, unable to find a suitable opponent.
Meanwhile, a group of people in the audience were waving their hands and shouting her name.
"Chen Qingling! Chen Qingling!"
"Ahhh, I thought she would lose this time... Damn it!"
"I told you all, Chen Qingling is invincible! Betting on her to win is the only way! A sure-fire deal!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful female Soul Master."
"This… this is fifteen consecutive wins! Is this really a newcomer? It doesn't seem like it at all. It's more like a seasoned veteran."
Shrek Academy.
Flender knew the outcome the moment he saw Zhao Wuji return empty-handed.
"You can't even handle something as simple as recruiting someone."
Zhao Wuji forced a smile, helplessly spreading his hands. "What? I couldn't exactly resort to brute force, could I?"
"Forcibly dragging her into Shrek Academy would be counterproductive."
"She already has prejudices against our Shrek Academy. Forcing it would likely cause more trouble."
Flender sighed deeply, "Sigh, if no one comes, Shrek Academy won't be able to stay open for much longer."
The scene shifted, returning to Chen Qingling. Seeing that her opponent had been evenly matched for so long, she simply didn't want to continue fighting.
She had originally thought the Great Soul Arena in Soto City would bring her a surprise, and a chance to truly hone her skills.
But what had happened? Nothing at all.
Chen Qingling made an immediate decision to leave the Great Soul Arena, with Wang Qing following closely behind.
"Qingling, you're just leaving like this? Not continuing in the Great Soul Arena?"
"No more, no more. There's no point."
To be honest, Wang Qing hadn't expected that a newcomer she'd casually brought along would possess such terrifying strength.
If it were her, she probably wouldn't have been able to beat the first opponent.
There's no comparison without contrast.
The two parted ways. Chen Qingling returned to the Rose Hotel and walked toward the Red Ocean room.
She pushed the door open and saw Zhu Zhuqing with her Martial Soul manifested, experimenting with the Soul Bone skill she had just obtained.
Zhu Zhuqing's hands were covered with a layer of pale golden claws.
They looked exceptionally bright in the sunlight.
Hearing the door open, Zhu Zhuqing looked up with a smile on her face, "Qingling, you helped me refine and absorb the thousand-year Soul Bone."
"Yeah, you got the Devour Gold Claw, it cuts through metal like butter."
Delighted, Zhu Zhuqing embraced Chen Qingling, shedding her usual coldness.
With sincerity offered, how could Zhu Zhuqing maintain a cold facade? It was Chen Qingling who opened the window to Zhu Zhuqing's heart, warming her cold soul.
She was experiencing the kindness of another person.
"Hehe, congratulations, Zhu Zhuqing."
"Well, how did you fare in the Great Soul Arena, Qingling?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
Chen Qingling patted her chest. "With me, it was smooth sailing. I swept through everything, fifteen consecutive victories!"
