22: Zhu Zhuqing leaves the confinement

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he found that Dai Mubai and the others were not listening to him at all, and could not help but speak with a tone of reprimand.

"Ma Hongjun! Oscar! Dai Mubai! Are the three of you listening to me?"

Dai Mubai was called out of his imagination of caring for Zhu Zhuqing by Yu Xiaogang's words, and he retorted to Yu Xiaogang with a bit of anger.

"Excuse me, when you were conducting your so-called special training, did you consider that Ma Hongjun and Oscar are already Gold Soul Douluo in the two-person group competition? We don't have enough people for the team competition. Currently, having Ma Hongjun lead the new students into the Soul Venerable matches means the three new students won't get sufficient training, right? If you want us to explain the cruelty or rules of the arena to the new students, I have no objection. Please, someone, figure out our strength before speaking about special training next time. I'm going to Soto City first."

After speaking, he didn't give Yu Xiaogang any face, turning around and leaving directly.

The scene caused the faces of all the students to fall into an inexplicable awkwardness.

Tang San couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling that Dai Mubai was walking further and further down the path he believed would lead to his demise. After all, such an action towards his esteemed teacher in public even made Tang San wonder if Dai Mubai had always been so presumptuous.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, the two girls, couldn't help but inwardly complain about Yu Xiaogang's incomplete understanding of everyone before the special training, which led to the current awkward situation.

Although Oscar and Ma Hongjun also felt that Dai Laoda's actions were good and satisfying, Dai Laoda's move was also somewhat presumptuous and disrespectful towards Dean Flander. After all, Flander had been quite good to the three of them before.

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. On the second day, the last so-called old student once again took the lead in not giving him face, making him unable to help but clench his fists until they cracked.

Because of the contempt shown by the two old students, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, yesterday, Yu Xiaogang accelerated his special training plan. Originally, he planned to regain face in front of the old students through the special training at the Sotuo City Arena today, which is why he only asked if the three of them had been to the arena.

Yu Xiaogang thought that even if the plan was rushed slightly, even if all three had been there, he and Flander could use words to establish their authority in front of the students. He didn't expect to be directly ignored by Dai Mubai, the strongest and last old student.

Seeing this, Flander knew that Yu Xiaogang was too eager to prove himself in front of the students. However, what Dai Mubai was doing not only slapped Xiao Gang in the face but also himself, causing him to feel a bit of dissatisfaction towards Dai Mubai. Nevertheless, he quickly spoke up to help Yu Xiaogang find a way out.

"Ahem, Mu Bai went ahead to the Sotuo City Arena to help us handle things."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions improved slightly.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Flander thought of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition and decided to use it as an excuse to continue helping Yu Xiaogang.

"Grandmaster also meant well, but he was thinking of helping everyone quickly improve their strength. With our current Shrek's strength, if we work hard to improve, we have a chance to win the championship. I heard from internal sources that the championship reward this time is the legendary ten-thousand-year Soul Bone!"

Upon hearing 'ten-thousand-year Soul Bone', all the students immediately couldn't help but get excited.

Even Ning Rongrong, the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, didn't have a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone at the moment, let alone a suitable one. She knew even more deeply how precious a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone was, and couldn't help but look forward to it as well.

Seeing that the atmosphere among all the students had become lively, Flander quickly signaled Yu Xiaogang with his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang received Flander's hint, coughed twice, and after much thought, found a suitable excuse for himself.

"I also saw that the three new students haven't participated in collective combat yet, so I came up with this idea overnight. I was hoping the old students could quickly become familiar with them. My consideration at the moment was indeed a bit lacking."

Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but be the first to want Yu Xiaogang to take this opportunity to back down gracefully, and quickly spoke up.

"Teacher, we definitely won't blame you. After all, we also want to work hard together for this goal."

After speaking, Tang San showed a hypocritical smile as he looked at Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun believed him a little and nodded. Oscar, however, saw Tang San's hypocrisy, but since the words had already been spoken, he also nodded along.

Seeing this, Flander couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The atmosphere between the new and old students had finally begun to become harmonious.

Seeing Zhao Wuji slowly walk over, Zhao Wuji was about to ask if they could go to the Sotuo City Arena.

Flander interrupted him by patting his shoulder and explaining in a low voice. Zhao Wuji immediately felt somewhat dissatisfied. Dai Mubai's action was not like him; it was too disrespectful to his teachers.

However, Flander still decided to go and ask Dai Mubai to clarify the matter. So he spoke up and decided what the two of them would do.

"Now that Teacher Zhao is here, he will be responsible for taking Grandmaster and the students to the Sotuo City Arena. I will go back to Teacher Shao Xin to get some candy beans in case the students get injured."

Flander's words were seamless, and everyone nodded in support, as they had witnessed the effect of Teacher Shao Xin's candy beans.

Only Oscar felt that something was not right; his intuition told him that the Dean was probably going to look for Dai Mubai.

However, Oscar didn't say anything, as this matter would eventually be resolved.

Flander signaled Zhao Wuji with his eyes, indicating that he was going to find Mu Bai. Zhao Wuji understood and led the group towards the Sotuo City Arena.

Dai Mubai was currently rushing towards Zhu Zhuqing's location, feeling a bit annoyed about his actions just now. After all, this was the first time he had met Yu Xiaogang. Leaving abruptly not only didn't give Yu Xiaogang face but also slighted Flander, which was inappropriate.

However, Dai Mubai also found an excuse for himself, saying that his fiancée was coming to the academy and he was worried about her safety, so he acted on impulse.

Dai Mubai arrived outside the hotel and called over a man in black, asking,

"Has Zhu Qing not come out these past few days? Has there been any news from her room?"

"No, Miss Zhu has been in her room these past few days, but her Soul Power fluctuations have been somewhat chaotic, and even her Martial Soul aura changed today."

The man in black respectfully knelt and reported Zhu Zhuqing's situation over the past few days to Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai felt somewhat uneasy upon hearing this, as his own Martial Soul variation only took dozens of breaths. So he motioned for his subordinate to withdraw, planning to go up and check on Zhu Qing himself.

When Dai Mubai reached the door of Zhu Zhuqing's room, a strange Martial Soul fluctuation came from inside. Immediately after, he heard Zhu Zhuqing exhale a long breath of turbid air.

Then Dai Mubai knocked on the door and announced his identity.

"Zhu Qing, I'm Mu Bai. Have you finished your secluded cultivation? Can I come in now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing in the room couldn't help but check her physical condition after these days of secluded cultivation.

Her internal Soul Power had reached a peak and urgently needed to break through, but some impurities had been expelled from her skin, making her fair and smooth skin feel a bit sticky.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of her beloved Mu Bai. So she responded loudly.

"No, I just finished my secluded cultivation. Wait a moment."

After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing rushed into the bathroom.

Two quarters of an hour later,

Zhu Zhuqing opened the door. After Dai Mubai entered, the first thing that caught his eye was Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful, jet-black hair falling like a waterfall over her shoulders, with a few water droplets. Her skin was even fairer and more delicate than a peeled egg, and her features, without any makeup, were still peerless, even more moving than last time.

This scene made Dai Mubai's Adam's apple bob. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's little face, which was already a bit red from bathing, added a few more blushes, making her appear delicate and charming.

"Ahem, Zhu Qing, how did your Martial Soul variation go?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly ambiguous, but knowing that this was clearly not the right time, Dai Mubai sat down and asked with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing also sat down, while releasing her mutated Martial Soul, and carefully described the situation of her Martial Soul after the variation to Dai Mubai.

"My Martial Soul has evolved into the Nine Nether Hell Cat this time. In terms of appearance, I just have nine more tails behind me. My aura has become stronger, and my combat power has nearly doubled. It comes with an innate talent, Clone Technique. The strength of the clones can initially reach 50%, up to 80%, and I can summon a maximum of five. Each time I use a clone, the clone only consumes 40% of the main body's Soul Power. At the current stage, without obtaining a Soul Ring, I can only summon one clone, and its power is about 50%. I feel that the power should increase after obtaining a Soul Ring, and my Soul Power, based on my own estimation, should be able to directly increase to around level 37/38 after obtaining a Soul Ring."

While observing Zhu Zhuqing's mutated Nine Nether Hell Cat Martial Soul, Dai Mubai couldn't help but exclaim as he listened.

Although Zhu Qing's Martial Soul change was not as terrifying as his own, this innate talent, Clone Technique, was also extremely terrifying. It only consumes 40% of the Soul Power, the clone's strength can reach 50%, and it can even increase after obtaining a Soul Ring. It is indeed extremely terrifying.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's stomach rumbled. Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but blush, retracting her Martial Soul and lowering her head.

She secretly regretted how she had still lost face in front of Mu Bai.

Dai Mubai, however, smiled lightly and pulled Zhu Qing's fair and tender little hand, saying,

"You've been in secluded cultivation for so many days, of course you'd be hungry. Let's go, your man will take you down to eat something delicious."

With her hand held by Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing's little face became even redder, and her heart was also pounding.

The two of them went downstairs like this. After Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had lunch together.

Dai Mubai decided to go to the Sotuo City Arena to explain the reason to Flander. As the two of them were heading towards the Sotuo City Arena, they ran into Flander walking towards them.
