Chapter 122: Su Ming: If Shi Nian Had Been There, Shrek Would Have Been Annihilated!

The others looked at Ning Rongrong, who had just snapped at Oscar, with varying degrees of surprise, especially Zhu Zhuqing. She was particularly stunned, as she hadn't been present the night Ning Rongrong lashed out at Dai Mubai, so she couldn't fully appreciate her sharpness firsthand.

Now, the aura Ning Rongrong exuded completely overwhelmed Oscar.

Su Ming, too, was slightly taken aback. After several days, Ning Rongrong had once again blurted out something wholly unlike a proper young lady. It was quite amusing.

Noticing her own somewhat improper choice of words, Ning Rongrong tactfully chose not to say anything further.

Zhao Wuji, for his part, decided not to address Ning Rongrong's comments. While he did share the sentiment that a spirit master who avoids trouble isn't much of a spirit master, the line wasn't his to begin with. So he just pretended Ning Rongrong hadn't indirectly called him out.

After all, when Bone Douluo had visited Shrek Academy recently, Zhao Wuji hadn't dared to utter a word. Bone Douluo had openly warned them: anyone who dared to deliberately mistreat their sect's little princess would pay dearly. Flender was already a prime example—having been beaten once because of Dai Mubai. Zhao Wuji, fearing Ning Rongrong might tattle, wouldn't risk provoking her.

Oscar, meanwhile, was left red-faced and at a loss, with no one stepping in to defend him. He had no choice but to endure the humiliation silently.

Dai Mubai, having already experienced Ning Rongrong's sharp tongue, wisely kept quiet, and Ma Hongjun refrained from speaking out of fear that Su Ming might give him another beating. As for Tang San, he wouldn't intervene in such matters to begin with.

Suddenly, a low growling sound broke the awkward silence.

"Uh…" Su Ming chuckled awkwardly. "I just had a breakthrough earlier, which used up a lot of energy. And it's getting pretty late."

Xiao Wu quickly pulled Su Ming to a seat and began piling food onto his plate. "Big Brother, eat up. Don't let yourself go hungry."

Dai Mubai chimed in enthusiastically, "Yes, yes! Su Ming, dig in. This meal's on me—a welcome feast for you all."

Later that evening, after everyone had finished eating, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

Su Ming, however, stayed up to jot down his thoughts in his diary:

[Finally, I can rest. We set out from the academy early this morning, heading towards the Star Dou Forest. I had my fourth spirit ring activated almost the entire time. While the consumption and recovery balanced out, it was still mentally exhausting.]

[As expected, Ma Hongjun, that deadweight, caused trouble again tonight. He provoked the Canghui Academy students. Thankfully, I was upstairs focusing on my breakthrough, so I didn't get involved. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong stayed behind to watch over me. To be honest, it felt nice.]

[After all, they chose to side with me over going downstairs.]

The girls: Oh, please. We just didn't want to deal with the nonsense downstairs. Hmph.

[It's fortunate that the teacher accompanying the Canghui Academy group was only a Spirit King. If it had been Shi Nian, with his personality, Dai Mubai and the others wouldn't have walked away unscathed. Even Zhao Wuji would've struggled to protect them from Shi Nian's wrath. At best, they'd be severely injured; at worst, dead.]

In her room, Xiao Wu curiously asked Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, do you think the spirit master Su Ming mentioned in his diary is the same one you talked about before?"

Ning Rongrong nodded. "Most likely. I remember my father mentioning him in passing when I was training at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Zhu Zhuqing, having grown up in the Star Luo Empire, shook her head. "I don't know much about him."

[If I recall correctly, Shi Nian reached the rank of Spirit Saint (level 72) during the Spirit Master Tournament a few years later. By now, he should at least be at the peak of the Spirit Emperor rank. If the original timeline had gone differently, and Shi Nian had led the Canghui group instead, Shrek Academy wouldn't have survived. Everyone, from Dai Mubai to Flender, would've been wiped out.]

[Shi Nian doesn't care whether you're fellow students or not. During the tournament, he once caught Tang San alone and trapped him in an illusion. Tang San didn't even realize it at first. If Shi Nian hadn't been overconfident in his abilities, Tang San would've died that day.]

[But Shi Nian underestimated Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes and ended up being taken down by a high-grade hidden weapon, the Deathgod Stimulus. Honestly? He deserved it.]

[However, Tang San doesn't have that weapon right now. If Shi Nian had shown up this time, seeking justice for a Canghui student, Tang San and the others would've been slaughtered. Even Flender wouldn't have been spared. At best, they'd escape with serious injuries.]

The girls in the room couldn't help but shudder after reading Su Ming's account.

Xiao Wu teased Ning Rongrong with a sly smile. "Rongrong, Su Ming is praising you!"

Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth, laughing softly.

Blushing, Ning Rongrong snapped, "Stop teasing me! Oscar deserved it. Who in their right mind would defend that fat idiot?"
