Ma Hongjun was extremely reluctant, but under Flender's murderous glare he still obediently answered, then turned and jogged off around the village.
After Fatty left, Flender apologized to Qin Ming: "Little Ming, Hongjun's still a child, his Heart-Nature isn't settled yet—sorry for the embarrassment."
Qin Ming frowned at Ma Hongjun's departing back and said in a deep voice, "He… is that little Fatty from back then?"
Flender smiled. "That's right, it's him. I didn't expect you'd still remember, Little Ming."
Hearing this, curiosity appeared on Qin Ming's face.
"So he's only twelve or thirteen? I saw him hold off a Spirit Elder on the Douhun Platform for a short time—what Rank is his spirit power?"
"Hongjun's just twelve years and seven months old, but his Spirit Power Level has already reached the twenty-eighth rank."
"Such a high Spirit Power Level!" Qin Ming was startled; that talent surpassed even his own.
The Huang Dou Battle Team all showed surprise.
Although Shrek Academy looked dilapidated, its students' talent was anything but low.
A twenty-eighth rank before thirteen was top-tier in any academy.
Still, they were only surprised for an instant.
After all, they'd already seen even more Heaven-Defying talent.
Ning Rongrong muttered in disdain, "Hmph, thought he was so amazing—an auxiliary Spirit Master like me Cultivates faster than him."
Though her voice was soft, they were all Spirit Masters—how could they fail to hear?
The Shrek Group was stunned and turned to look at Ning Rongrong.
In yesterday's matches she had fought, so they knew this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile PagodaSpirit Master was a three-ring Spirit Elder.
They'd assumed she only looked young, since Dugu Yan's group appeared rather mature.
They hadn't expected she really was that young.
Qin Ming added with a smile, "This is Ning Rongrong; her Spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She's two or three months younger than Ma Hongjun, yet her spirit power has reached the thirty-first rank."
The Shrek Group was shocked: a support systemSpirit Elder not yet thirteen carried far more weight than Tang San's authority.
After all, Tang San had also become a Spirit Elder at twelve, but he'd been close to thirteen.
And everyone knew support systemSpirit Masters Cultivated more slowly than ordinary Spirit Masters.
Flender couldn't help sighing.
"Terrifying talent—her status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can't be simple."
Ning Rongrong looked proud.
"My father is Ning Fengzhi; my grandfathers are Sword DouluoChen Xin and Bone DouluoGu Rong."
The moment these words came out, everyone showed even greater shock, their expressions far more shaken than before.
These were Titled Douluo, existences at the pyramid's peak—one could deter an entire Empire.
And there were two of them.
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji remained fairly calm.
Although Ning Rongrong's background was astonishing, Tang San was backed by Clear Sky Douluo—no less impressive.
The others were stunned and exclaimed over her backing.
Xiao Wu, standing beside Tang San, trembled and instinctively glanced left and right.
She didn't believe other Titled Douluo would spare her if they sensed her identity, the way Yang Yuan had.
After all, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast's Spirit Bone was a priceless treasure that even top Titled Douluo would covet.
Tang San noticed her unease and gave her a concerned look.
Oscar was full of envy; both were support Spirit Masters, yet the gap between him and Ning Rongrong was like a chasm.
Dai Mubai sized Ning Rongrong up, his evil eyes flickering; shocked, a bold idea rose in his heart.
As the prince of Star Luo Empire, how could he not know the weight of a Titled Douluo?
The entire Star Luo royal family lacked even one Title.
If he could gain the support of two Titled Douluo, what need had he to fear losing the throne?
As for Zhu Zhuqing… a shadow crossed Dai Mubai's face.
For this damn woman he hadn't gone philandering for months, yet she still wouldn't let him touch her.
If she wouldn't let him touch her, why had she traveled thousands of miles to find him?
Before meeting Ning Rongrong he might have kept fawning on Zhu Zhuqing and joined forces with her to fight for that last sliver of hope.
But after seeing Ning Rongrong, he suddenly realized a shortcut might have appeared!
He only had to win over Ning Rongrong!
Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed; unconsciously he swept back his golden hair and gave a charming smile, showing his handsome face to Ning Rongrong.
He, Dai Mubai, was a veteran of love; with his striking looks and powerful talent, no beauty could resist him.
Except for that ice-block Zhu Zhuqing.
So he was confident he could easily handle this pretty little Ning Rongrong.
Once he attached himself to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what need had he to fear failing to win the Star Luo throne?
Yet when Ning Rongrong saw Dai Mubai's charming smile, disgust appeared on her face and she gave a cold snort.
"Dean Flender, are the boys in your academy so desperate they've never seen a woman?"
Flender looked embarrassed and also glared at Dai Mubai.
"Mubai, acting like Fatty—get out there and run twenty laps around the village!
One lap less and you skip dinner today."
Dai Mubai's face stiffened when Ning Rongrong ignored him completely.
Before, one look from him could make outside girls swoon, yet now he'd hit a wall with Ning Rongrong.
Flender and the others saw his thoughts and sighed inwardly.
Did Mubai ever think what kind of family Ning Rongrong came from?
She'd met every sort of person—would she be dazzled by a single glance from you?
After Dai Mubai left, Flender bowed slightly. "Young Miss Ning, Mubai's offense was unintentional; I apologize on his behalf."
"It had better be!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, already deciding to have someone teach those two a lesson once they left.
Seeing the dean's embarrassment, Qin Ming changed the subject.
"Dean, are you taking the juniors to the Great Spirit Arena?"
Flender nodded.
"Yes, but since you're here today, we'll skip it."
"Right, apart from Hongjun you don't know the others—let me introduce them."
He then presented each member of Shrek Academy to Qin Ming.
When he reached Yu Xiaogang, his tone became especially solemn.
"Little Ming, this is my close friend Yu Xiaogang, the number-one theorist of Spirit Masters on the entire continent, known as Grandmaster."
"He is also Tang San's teacher."
At these words, the Huang Dou Battle Team raised their brows and looked toward Yu Xiaogang.
The number-one theorist of Spirit Masters on the entire continent?
Quite the grand title!
