Transmigrating into Douluo Continent as Dai Mubai, a mutated Gengjin White Tiger

Chapter 20 Yu Xiaogang Arrives

Inside the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

An elderly man with white hair, who arrived on a sword, looked at Ning Fengzhi with some anxiety.

"Elder Jian, I've heard that a peak Soul Douluo who had been in seclusion for many years failed to break through and vented his anger at Rongrong's academy."

Ning Fengzhi tapped his fingers on the table beside him as he answered, his words seemingly casual, as if he were pondering something.

"Then hurry up and send someone to bring Rongrong back! What if something happens to her?!"

Sword Douluo noticed Ning Fengzhi's nonchalance and couldn't help but raise his voice, intending to bring Ning Rongrong back.

"No! This was an accident, and nothing serious happened. Let's arrange two Soul Saints to stay with Rongrong. It's not appropriate to bring her back as soon as she left."

After thinking for a while, Ning Fengzhi firmly stated his plan.

"You! You'll regret your decision today sooner or later when Rongrong gets into trouble."

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's resolute tone, Sword Douluo knew he couldn't change Ning Fengzhi's mind, so he left after uttering a resentful remark.

Watching Sword Douluo's departing figure, Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. As a father, how could he not care about his daughter? But he had his own plans.

"A 12-year-old level 38 ultimate Soul Master, a 14-year-old support-type Soul Master, a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who can make a Soul Master's full-force hidden weapon, and the third prince of the Star Luo Empire whose combat power is unknown. The people around Rongrong are really not simple."

Ning Fengzhi picked up a piece of paper beside him and muttered to himself. When he saw these messages, his already hesitant heart was no longer hesitant.

After all, Rongrong's path to becoming a sect leader would be smoother only if she befriended these people. Moreover, Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply as he looked in the direction of the Spirit Hall.

A sense of unease crept into his heart. This newly appointed pope's ambitions would inevitably destabilize the continent sooner or later. At this juncture, it was crucial for Rongrong to cultivate relationships with more talented soul masters.

Ning Fengzhi hoped that most of these talented Soul Masters could become the foundation of Rongrong's future, helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to prosper even more after weathering the turbulent times.

Shrek Academy, two days later, in the morning

"Xiao Ao, I heard a new teacher is coming today. The dean said this teacher is no ordinary person; he was a very famous figure more than ten years ago, just like the dean. What do you think?"

As they walked, Ma Hongjun and Oscar shared the information they had secretly gleaned from Flander.

"A person who has been as famous as the dean for more than ten years must be extraordinary. The dean's praise of him might mean he is a Soul Master. I wonder what kind of Soul Master this teacher is."

After hearing this, Oscar and Ma Hongjun began to analyze it seriously.

"Contra? Wow, but thinking about it, someone who can get the dean to praise them like this must be terrifying."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but fantasize along with Oscar, but the new teacher was probably fewer spirit rings than they had imagined.

"Fellow students, this is Yu Xiaogang, the wise one of the famous Golden Iron Triangle, also known as Master. He is almost unparalleled in the field of martial soul research."

Flander enthusiastically introduced the master Yu Xiaogang beside him to the five people.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but lose interest, after all, he wasn't someone renowned for his combat skills.

However, Ma Hongjun, who wasn't particularly fond of Yu Xiaogang, still asked out of curiosity.

"May I ask what level of cultivation you are, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Flander seemed to freeze, and even Yu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him with an air of superiority and composure, stiffened.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar couldn't help but become curious, while Ning Rongrong calmly explained the situation to them.

"It's rumored that this master's cultivation level was previously stuck at level 29."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun almost burst out laughing. Someone so old and already a second-ring cultivator wanting to teach him? Was the dean joking?

Upon hearing this, Oscar, who was standing nearby, had his idealized image shattered and couldn't help but become nonchalant.

"You are not allowed to insult my teacher!"

Tang San couldn't sit still any longer and turned to face the three of them, pointing fingers at them.

"They were just telling the truth, and we just wanted to understand the master. Is that considered an insult?"

Oscar, displeased, spoke up, as their reaction stemmed from disappointment. After all, the higher one's initial expectations, the greater the disappointment upon discovering it wasn't what they hoped for.

Therefore, Oscar doesn't consider Ma Hongjun and his reaction to be insulting. Why didn't they explain it from the beginning? Whose fault is it that they exaggerated so much in the first place?

"Enough! What kind of behavior is this, arguing like this in front of me!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's gloomy face and the two arguing below, Flander couldn't help but angrily rebuke the five of them.

"Oscar, Ma Hongjun, carry 25 jin of weight and run around Soto City 10 times. Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu carry 15 jin of weight. Go and carry the stones yourselves, but you are not allowed to use your soul power."

Taking advantage of his anger, Flander announced the punishments for the five men.

Ning Rongrong was furious and immediately spoke angrily to Flander.

"Flander, why should I run too? Is it wrong to tell the truth at Shrek Academy?"

Flander shook his head and began to explain.

"To be honest, that's true, but arguing openly in front of teachers and the dean, disregarding elders, didn't you still get punished?"

"It's alright, Rongrong, we'll help you share the burden. We were both wrong in this matter. Ma Hongjun and I are both level 38, it's okay."

Oscar came over and patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder to comfort her.

Looking at Oscar, who was only 14 years old but already at level 38, Ning Rongrong felt her restless heart calm down a little after hearing Oscar's comforting words.

With such an outstanding senior in front of her, Ning Rongrong was willing to try to integrate herself.

However, when Ning Rongrong and the two went to collect the stones, she still spoke in a seemingly casual manner.

"I don't lie. If I've hurt anyone's feelings, I'm sorry~"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes blazed with fury. He glared at the three, including Oscar and Ning Rongrong in his list of those who were courting death. After all, they had publicly declared the Grandmaster level—wasn't that an insult to their teacher?

Just as Flander was about to say something more, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong picked up their bamboo baskets and left.

Flander couldn't help but shake his head. It was indeed quite difficult to get the three people in the academy to acknowledge that Yu Xiaogang was stronger than them.

Ning Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and this one battle alone probably filled her with malice towards Yu Xiaogang.

Flander couldn't help but want to beat up his apprentice. After all, if Ma Hongjun hadn't brought up the matter of cultivation, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

Flander himself forgot how he had previously praised Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing how rude the three men were to him, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but curse them a thousand times in his heart.

Then Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and solemnly gave him instructions.

"Little San, the weighted running is to train your character and unleash your inner potential. Remember to persevere. Casually check if the three people in front of you are cheating. After all, it's hard not to suspect some people's character."

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and couldn't help but nod emphatically, believing in his heart that his teacher would never harm him.

Tang San didn't notice that Xiao Wu beside him looked rather displeased after standing up for Master.

After all, she was going to be punished for standing up for the master, so why did she have to say anything? Looking at the master, Xiao Wu gradually felt some dissatisfaction with him.

Flander's expression was also grim. He knew Yu Xiaogang was referring to Ning Rongrong's previous actions. But he couldn't help but think of Ma Hongjun and Oscar's behavior towards the master. Perhaps Yu Xiaogang meant the same thing; otherwise, why hadn't he explained the purpose of the weighted running to them?

This lack of confidence in the trainees he had trained left a lingering resentment in Flander's heart.

The three people in front

"Next time you're going to act all high and mighty in front of girls, remember to tell me first."

Ma Hongjun pretended to be somewhat dissatisfied after receiving 10 jin of stones.

"Ah, yes..."

Before Ning Rongrong could even apologize, Oscar interrupted her.

"Don't believe him, he's full of lies. I support you on this."

Oscar ran while comforting Ning Rongrong.

"Yeah! I also don't like that master up there. He's only level 29 and he still wants to act tough in front of us. I'll teach him a lesson sometime, hahaha."

Ma Hongjun laughed as he spoke, and then started blowing on the whistle.

"Haha, alright, then let's see you teach that master a lesson."

Ning Rongrong smiled and replied, feeling that the atmosphere was quite nice.

The three of them ran along, laughing and chatting, completely unaware of the two people behind them.
