Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Outside the kitchen, Dai Mubai walked away quickly with a sullen face, followed closely by Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Wang Teng and Tang San exchanged a glance, but did not follow. Instead, they found a stone step outside the door and sat down to wait.

Dai Mubai strode ahead, while Ma Hongjun followed behind, calling out, "Boss Dai! Boss Dai, where are you going?"

Chapter 133 Shrek Academy's Cultivation

"Brother Dai, if you keep going any further, you'll be walking out of the academy!"

Oscar followed behind and shouted a reminder.

"Let's go to the Rose Hotel."

Without turning his head, Dai Mubai said irritably, "I'm really angry right now, and I want to go to a hotel to vent."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar paused in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

Are you going or not?

Dai Mubai stopped, turned around, and a smile that wasn't really a smile on his lips.

"It's my treat."

After hesitating for a moment, the two jogged after him.

Then, the three figures gradually disappeared on the path leading to Soto City.

The Rose Hotel, the deluxe suite on the top floor.

As night deepened, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

Dai Mubai leaned against the headboard, with two girls who looked alike nestled beside him.

"Young Master Dai, you seem to have something on your mind today."

One of the girls traced circles on Dai Mubai's chest with her fingertips and asked in a soft voice.

Dai Mubai didn't answer, but instead took a big gulp of wine.

The alcohol burned down my throat, but it couldn't extinguish the suffocating fire in my heart.

Zhu Zhuqing's words, "I find you dirty," are like a thorn stuck in the softest part of my heart, causing excruciating pain at the slightest touch.

"You slut..."

Dai Mubai murmured softly, seemingly referring to someone.

"I've already bowed my head and admitted my mistake, why are you still putting on airs..."

"Young Master Dai, what are you saying?"

Another girl pressed herself against her, her breath sweet and fragrant.

"nothing."

Dai Mubai smirked and flipped over, pinning the person beneath him.

"Come here, let me pamper you properly."

Shrek Academy, on the stone steps outside the kitchen.

Wang Teng and Tang San ate a simple meal for dinner, and after waiting for a while, they saw the kitchen door open gently.

Zhu Zhuqing walked in the middle, with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong on either side of her.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's expression had calmed down considerably.

"Third Brother, where are the others?"

Xiao Wu looked around but didn't see Dai Mubai and the others.

"Cough cough."

Tang San touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and explained, "Brother Dai and the others... went out."

"When they left, I think I heard Boss Dai say that he was going to take Fatty and Oscar to 'release their pent-up energy'."

Wang Teng added in a flat tone.

"nausea!"

Ning Rongrong immediately spat.

Zhu Zhuqing's face paled, she pursed her lips, and walked towards the dormitory with her head down.

Just as she brushed past Wang Teng, he suddenly spoke up: "I'm sorry about what happened during the day."

"I hit too hard."

Zhu Zhuqing paused, but didn't turn around. She simply shook her head and said, "It's alright, it's just that I'm not strong enough... I didn't expect you to be so strong."

"Also, thank you for saving my life before."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing walked away into the distance.

"Some things may seem difficult now, but they become simple once you have the strength. Moreover, you don't have to shoulder the burden alone; you can find someone to shelter you from the storm and face it together."

Wang Teng didn't know why he said those words, nor what he said at all. He just subconsciously said those words when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's appearance.

Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly. Without saying another word, she quickened her pace and left.

As night deepened, moonlight poured like mercury onto the simple buildings and playground of Shrek Academy.

Wang Teng watched Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappear behind the dormitory door, then looked up in the direction of Soto City, before finally turning around and walking back to his own residence.

The wind rustled through the trees, as if whispering the secrets hidden in each heart that night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Teng and the others gathered at the Shrek Academy's playground.

After yesterday's battle with Zhu Zhuqing, everyone has a more intuitive understanding of Wang Teng's strength.

Zhu Zhuqing herself, under the treatment of teacher Shao Xin, had long since recovered from her injuries and was now standing in the group in high spirits, with no trace of injury on her face.

On the playground, Zhao Wuji's imposing figure stood before everyone.

Behind him was the village, still asleep.

There, wisps of light gray smoke rose from the rooftops of a few scattered houses, and the morning breeze carried the faint aroma of porridge and rice, wafting into everyone's nostrils.

"Teacher Zhao, are we... going to have to go running again today?"

Before training even started, Ning Rongrong had a pained look on her face and started complaining in a low voice.

"Running, of course!"

Zhao Wuji said in a gruff voice, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"You must remember, as Soul Masters, without a strong physique, even the most exquisite Soul Skills are just empty talk!"

"Soul power is important, but the body is fundamental..."

Next, Teacher Zhao began a five-minute "lecture".

Only when he saw the barely concealed impatience on the faces of several students did he suddenly raise his voice and shout, "Alright! From now on, no breakfast is allowed until you finish today's training!"

"what--"

A few sighs rose from the crowd.

However, everyone resigned themselves to their fate and started running laps around the playground.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Time passed quietly, and soon, half an hour had gone by.

The originally orderly lines gradually began to spread out.

Leading the pack were Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Wang Teng, and Tang San, the four of them almost running side by side.

Later came Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar were left out last.

"Huh...huh..."

Ning Rongrong was drenched in sweat, her breathing became rapid and disordered, and every step seemed extremely difficult.

"Hey, are you alright? Do you need me to help you up?"

A voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Ning Rongrong turned her head and saw that it was Wang Teng.

It turned out that the leading group had already overtaken her by a whole lap and was now catching up from behind.

Wang Teng deliberately slowed his pace and walked alongside Ning Rongrong.

He still remembered the grudge he had with Ning Rongrong yesterday, and now he wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tension.

"Hmph! It's none of your business!"

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence, while quickening her pace to try and shake off Wang Teng.

However, she was a support-type Soul Master after all, and her stamina was inherently weak. She barely managed to increase her speed for a few minutes before her speed visibly slowed down again.

Wang Teng saw this and, without saying much, stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"What...what are you doing!"

Ning Rongrong was startled.

"Stop being brave."

Without saying a word, Wang Teng grabbed Ning Rongrong and ran forward.

His steps were steady and powerful, cleverly distributing some of the dragging force, allowing Ning Rongrong to keep up with the speed without completely losing her autonomy.

And so, amidst intermittent struggles and half-hearted resistance, Ning Rongrong was "led" by Wang Teng to complete the rest of the journey.

After training, everyone stopped panting at the edge of the playground.

Ning Rongrong quickly pulled her arm out of Wang Teng's grasp, a distinct blush spreading across her cheeks.
