In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 389 Ning Rongrong Causes a Scene at Shit Lake (Part 2)

"Of course we can't just leave it unattended."

Faced with Ning Rongrong's doubts, Ning Qingyun, in her spiritual sea, gazed leisurely and said.

"We're just leaving them alone for now. Now that we've figured out their situation, there's no point in us staying at Shillake Academy and hanging out with those snakes and rats."

"Although I believe that neither Flander nor anyone else would dare to do anything to us, I suddenly have a new idea instead of staying in Shillake."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was taken aback.

"Sister Qingyun, you mean...?"

"As far as I know, Flander has a desire to bring glory to Shilake Academy. Now that the academy suddenly has so many geniuses, I don't believe he won't have designs on the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament a few years from now. Therefore, I think we should compete as opponents in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament and defeat Shilake Academy's team in front of everyone!"

"Hey, this is interesting!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.

"So, Sister Qingyun, you haven't already decided where we'll go after we leave Shillake Academy, have you?"

"certainly."

Ning Qingyun smiled slightly.

……

Night falls.

Outside Soto City, at Shillake Academy, the familiar large playground still stands.

Flander, Xiao Wu, and seven other students stood quietly, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, Ning Rongrong finally arrived.

"Oh, everyone's here."

Seeing that the eight people not far away were all looking at her, Ning Rongrong put on a polite smile and greeted them.

"Ning Rongrong!"

But the next moment, Flander's deep voice came through.

Ning Rongrong looked at him, then asked casually, "Dean Flander, is there something you need?"

"Tell me, have you finished the lessons I assigned this morning?"

Flander's gaze sharpened.

Ning Rongrong then gave him a dismissive glance.

"Are you blind? Or deaf? I told you this morning that running is useless to me! Even some intermediate soul master academies have stopped using this training method. I didn't expect that you, as the dean of this so-called monster academy, would still care about it so much."

Upon hearing this, Flander's breathing became heavier.

"Do you know who advocated the running training method? Do you think you're smarter than him?"

Ning Rongrong's expression turned strange for a moment.

"We're Soul Masters, not ordinary people! And yet someone actually advocates this kind of training method for Soul Masters. If I'm not mistaken, that person's strength must be pretty low, right?"

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered. I heard you were once one of the famous Golden Iron Triangle, the Flying Horn. That 'smart person' you're talking about now, advocating running as a training method for Soul Masters, wouldn't that be the Wisdom Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, that famous but ultimately self-proclaimed 'Master,' Yu Xiaogang?"

"you……"

Flander clenched his fists instinctively.

"Xiao Gang, he wasn't just seeking fame! Do you know how much impact his theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls has had on the Soul Master world?"

"Impact? That certainly seems quite significant."

Ning Rongrong's gaze grew increasingly strange. Before Flander could even gloat, Ning Rongrong's voice soon followed.

"If you mean more than twenty years ago, when many ordinary soul masters who originally believed in and were willing to practice that master's theories were ultimately harmed by them."

"It seems that the Master's reputation began to plummet after that, even becoming someone that everyone on the continent hated, right?"

"..."

Flanders paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject, or rather, returned to the original topic, saying:

"Getting back to the point, let's talk about you not finishing the lessons I assigned this morning. I should have said that you can't have lunch if you don't finish them, right? But you just left Shillake Academy without permission this morning and went to Soto City to have some fun, and you've only just come back now."

"Hmph... If this were a battlefield, there would only be one outcome for what you did: court-martial and death!"

As he spoke, a glint of cunning gleam flashed in Flander's eyes.

"Since you are so willful and disobedient, then I'm sorry, our Shillake Academy can't teach you either."

"Now, I'm giving you two choices. One, pack your things and leave immediately—you don't deserve to be a part of this place! The other, prove to me that you deserve to stay here, and that you have the determination not to break the rules again."

"Heh, heh heh..."

Ning Rongrong laughed; this time, she genuinely couldn't stop laughing out loud.

Her gaze swept briefly over the rabble behind Flander. Well, there might be some normal ones among them, but they were probably just a few bad apples mixed in with a bunch of bad apples. She couldn't be bothered to care.

This is just one academy, and they actually want her to prove something, to make some kind of resolution, just to stay? Humph, who cares?

Ning Rongrong's sharp, unyielding, and even piercing gaze met Flander's. On the surface, Flander's imposing manner remained unchanged, but inwardly he felt a sudden panic.

This little devil, could she really be going to do things differently than expected...?

In his panic, Flander couldn't help but utter several harsh words in a row, his words sounding fierce but his heart was not.

"Ning Rongrong, what are you laughing at? Don't think that just because you were a treasure at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, everyone will dote on you after you come to Shrek Academy. Let me tell you, that's impossible!"

"You think your talent is so great? Look at these little monsters here, every single one of them is better than you..."

As he was speaking, Flander suddenly stopped. The reason was simple: Ning Rongrong was arguably the youngest person present, yet her cultivation had already reached the Soul Master level, and her strength was second to none. This was only possible because Xiao Huohuo, the "boss" and "leader" of all the Shilake Academy students, was about five years older than her.

In this respect, if we're talking about talent, Ning Rongrong undoubtedly outshines everyone else.

"Hmm? Which one of them isn't better than me? What do you think?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong also looked at Flander, her eyes full of mockery, and said.

"……snort!"

Flander, who was once again rendered speechless by Ning Rongrong's powerful rebuttal, finally lost his temper and couldn't help but say bluntly:

"I see no remorse in you whatsoever. I suppose you've already decided to choose the first path. In that case, go back to where you came from!"

Ning Rongrong gave Flander a deep look and nodded slightly.

"it is good."
