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

Chapter 21 Dai Mubai Awakens

The three returned in the evening, covered in sweat but chatting and laughing. They greeted Flander, then tossed aside their bamboo baskets and prepared to go eat.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, not seeing Tang San, couldn't help but stop the three of them and ask him.

"Why didn't Xiao San and Xiao Wu come back with you?"

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes and spoke disdainfully.

"We ran a long way but couldn't find him, and even waited for him for a while. Who knows what you were saying to your good apprentice?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's forehead veins bulged again. In just one day, Ma Hongjun had already embarrassed him twice.

Upon seeing this, Flander turned to Oscar, his expression becoming more serious, and asked for the reason.

"Oscar, are you waiting for Tang San and Xiao Wu? If they can't hold on, why don't you, as members of the same academy, help each other out?"

Oscar's expression darkened upon seeing this. He knew what Flander meant, but the events of that morning were still fresh in his mind, so the three of them unanimously decided to ignore Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Just as he was about to speak, Ning Rongrong interrupted him.

"Help them? Dean, who made us run laps? But I told the truth, and Tang San got really angry. He started arguing with us and even looked like he wanted to fight. Do we really need to run laps?"

Ning Rongrong already harbored resentment about what happened that morning, but she endured it for the time being because Oscar and Ma Hongjun comforted her. However, that didn't mean she wasn't angry. Upon hearing this, she became even angrier and immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

"Alright, alright, this won't happen again. You guys go eat first."

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Zhao Wuji told the three of them to go eat first.

Zhao Wuji then whispered some words of comfort to Flander before leaving.

"Flander, you need to understand that the situation is already tense. Hongjun and Xiao Ao initially heard you privately tell them that the Master was very powerful, but the Master is indeed a theoretical expert. It's inevitable that some people will feel resentful that someone much weaker than them and who initially acted arrogantly is only here to teach them theory. Moreover, Tang San's behavior this morning was indeed a bit excessive. Don't forget what our original intention was in establishing the academy. Don't repeat what happened back then."

Watching Zhao Wuji's departing figure, Flander finally seemed to wake from a dream. Yes, even Ma Hongjun and Oscar were very close to becoming Soul Masters. Not to mention Dai Mubai's strength was already comparable to his own and Old Zhao's. He had indeed been too hasty in getting all the students to accept Xiao Gang, forgetting that rushing things and excessive praise could backfire.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth at this moment. After hearing about Ma Hongjun and Oscar's strength, he couldn't understand why they had such cultivation at such a young age, even surpassing his own disciple Tang San, who possessed twin martial souls.

What's more, the fact that these unparalleled geniuses showed him such disrespect made Yu Xiaogang, who was already feeling inferior, almost scratch his head in frustration.

At this moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu also returned covered in sweat, and judging from their aura, they may have used their soul power.

Flander was somewhat displeased by this. Tang San and Xiao Wu were the last to return and had even used their soul power. He was about to speak when Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.

"Hey, you little brat, why are you using soul power?"

Yu Xiaogang was even more disappointed when he saw this. His disciple was the last to return and had even used his soul power, which was unacceptable to him because he was so proud.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I..."

Tang San had just begun to apologize when Xiao Wu immediately objected, glaring angrily at Flander and Yu Xiaogang and launching into a tirade.

"Third Brother hasn't even broken through to Soul Master yet, and you two Great Soul Masters made us carry 20 jin (10 catties) on ​​our backs. Is it wrong for our Third Brother to defend you?"

After Xiao Wu unleashed her attack, Flander and Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered that Tang San and Xiao Wu had not yet broken through to the Soul Master level.

The two were immediately embarrassed, but in an instant, the shameless Yu Xiaogang seized the opportunity and spoke up, taking advantage of Xiao Wu's words.

"Yes, Flander, didn't Xiao San and Xiao Wu take the entrance exam with you? Why didn't you take the difficulty level into consideration at all?"

Flander was at a loss for words, though it was true he had forgotten Tang San and Xiao Wu's cultivation levels. The main reason was that the three students—Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai—made him feel that the people Yu Xiaogang had recommended were about the same.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang, didn't you even remind me? Weren't the things I did this morning to help you vent your anger? Wasn't it you who suggested running laps yesterday?

Having just been enlightened by Zhao Wuji, Flander harbored considerable resentment, but he suppressed it, turned away sullenly, and uttered a faint remark.

"I didn't think this through."

Another night passed, and in the morning, Dai Mubai slowly opened his eyes. He circulated his soul power and, as he had expected, was just one step away from level 50.

Dai Mubai pushed open the door and saw Oscar and Ma Hongjun walking and complaining about something.

"Boss Dai!"

When Ma Hongjun and Oscar saw Dai Mubai appear unharmed, they each grabbed one of his arms to examine him.

After all, the version they heard was: Dai Mubai was injured when he was accidentally caught in the crossfire of a peak Soul Douluo's venting while cultivating his soul skills in the back mountain.

Seeing their concern, Dai Mubai decided to leave them behind. After all, Zhu Zhuqing should be finishing her seclusion and coming over in the next couple of days. He really wanted to loudly remind them again to be mindful of their behavior.

"Brother Dai, your recovery is insane! You were hit by a peak Soul Douluo's soul skill, and you've recovered in just a few days. And judging from your current condition, you're not far from becoming a Soul King. Brother Dai, do you have some kind of item that makes you stronger by getting beaten up?"

Ma Hongjun was still amazed by Dai Mubai's recovery and the soul power fluctuations he was displaying.

"Fatty, you're the kind of person who can't say anything nice. You think I can't stay in bed for a month or two? What happened these past two days? You two were complaining so loudly just now."

Dai Mubai was speechless when he heard about the item that made him stronger by being beaten up, but he did indeed have a half-baked system. Fearing that Ma Hongjun might again indulge in some wild ideas about something similar to a system, Mubai quickly changed the subject.

"It's all because the dean found a level 29 guy to teach us some kind of theoretical knowledge. At first, the dean told us how powerful this guy was, and Fatty and I thought he was a Contra powerhouse. But when Fatty found out he was only level 29, he made us run some laps as punishment yesterday. We're still a little uncomfortable about it."

Oscar spoke first, having learned the cause of the incident yesterday. Flander actually blamed the three of them for not helping Tang San and Xiao Wu; without Tang San's intervention, this whole situation might not have happened.

"Weren't you offered any baths or anything?"

After hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

Dai Mubai thought to himself: In the original story, Yu Xiaogang made them take a bath before running, otherwise, would running with weights be the only way to train their escape ability?

Oscar and Ning Rongrong are one thing, and it's one thing for support-type Soul Masters to run laps, but for the remaining three, running without soaking in a special medicinal bath has no effect at all.

Actually, you can't really blame Flander for this. After all, he brought up Yu Xiaogang because he initially planned to talk about running a few days later.

The medicinal bath we need after running uses herbs that are quite expensive. We can't expect the miserly Flander to spend such a large sum of money so soon after arriving, can we?

So the two of them forgot about the matter amidst Xiao Wu's continuous complaints, which caused all five of them to feel soreness early in the morning.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were particularly badly affected; although they used their soul power, it was only as a last resort. This resulted in Tang San almost falling out of bed when he woke up in the morning.

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Xiaogang, the teacher for the next training phase."

Yu Xiaogang continued introducing himself to the six people, his confidence remaining undiminished. After all, he was confident that his years of "hard work" in research would win over the four strangers before him.

"Today's special training will be held at... Soto City Arena."

After hearing Yu Xiaogang say so much, only to find that it was still the arena, Ma Hongjun and Oscar began to show impatience.

They were already Gold Soul Masters in the Arena's Duo Team, and had absolutely no interest in this. Besides, they didn't have enough people around them for a seven-person team Soul Master rank.

It was obvious that Yu Xiaogang hadn't included any special training plans for Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai. Therefore, Ma Hongjun and Oscar's expressions grew increasingly impatient as time went on.

Upon hearing about Soto City, Dai Mubai was immediately reminded of Zhu Zhuqing and paid no attention to what Yu Xiaogang said next.
