Chapter 20
Mao Sui Recommends Himself
Chapter 20 Tang San's Self-Recommendation
"Hmm, this is not a good sign."
Flander pushed up his glasses and responded, but he knew in his heart that everything Ning Shu said and did was a pretense. She wasn't actually that bad-natured, and there must be some reason behind it.
Standing next to Flander was another teacher from Shrek Academy, Immovable King Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji was in charge of the students' combat skills, but he had been away from the academy these past few days, so the classes had been falling behind.
He finally got back today, and as soon as he arrived, Flander called him to his office.
Zhao Wuji knew that Flanders calling him at this time meant no good, but he still came.
The two met on the rooftop and happened to witness Ning Rongrong and Ning Shu's inexplicable argument, which led them to talk about Ning Shu.
Flander didn't want to meddle in the students' private affairs, so he didn't continue the topic. He looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "I asked you to come here today because I want to take up some of your class time. There's something I want to confirm."
"What? Taking up my class time? No, Dean, I haven't taught a class in a long time. What urgent matter do you have that requires taking up my class time? Can't you come later?" Zhao Wuji was definitely unhappy. He hadn't taught a single class in the past few days. Now that he was finally back, how could he not pester the kids? He was itching to teach them. He wouldn't feel right unless he saw Dai Mubai and the others complaining of being tired!
Flander knew Zhao Wuji would reject him, but what he needed to confirm might also be of great interest to Zhao Wuji.
He raised his hand and patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder, saying, "Old Zhao, last night those little monsters went to the Soto Great Arena to fight, guess what happened?"
"What?" Zhao Wuji was a rough and straightforward man. He had an expression on his face that said he didn't want to guess, and Flander was helpless.
He looked at Zhao Wuji and said seriously, "Ning Shu's martial soul has evolved."
"What?" Zhao Wuji and Flander exchanged a glance. He exclaimed in surprise, "Martial Soul evolution?"
How could the evolution of a martial spirit happen to a Soul Master?
"Surprised, aren't you?" Flander shook his index finger. "That's not the most surprising thing. What's even more surprising is that Mu Bai had a match with Ning Shu last night. After that match, Mu Bai fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until this morning. When he woke up, he was yelling for a while and had quite a few injuries, all from that kid Ning Shu."
"Huh?" Zhao Wuji frowned. "Mu Bai was defeated by Ning Shu?"
He said incredulously, "Mu Bai is several levels higher than Ning Shu. His soul power alone is overwhelming, not to mention their martial souls. Even if Ning Shu's martial soul has evolved, its essence is still a weapon martial soul, a bell. How could she possibly defeat a soul master with a top-tier beast martial soul?"
"You don't believe it either, right?" Flander lured the enemy deeper into his trap, pushing up his glasses as he said, "I don't believe it either, so I want to confirm whether what Mu Bai said is true or not. Old Zhao, since you're back, why don't we confirm it together?"
"Okay, let's confirm together!"
Zhao Wuji nodded, having been successfully tricked by Flander. Flander smiled triumphantly and didn't say anything more.
Two hours later, the academy's assembly bell rang.
On the playground, Zhao Wuji and Flander had been waiting for a long time. The eight people came to the two of them one after another, and it only took a few minutes for everyone to arrive.
Flander looked at them and nodded in satisfaction. He lingered his gaze on Ning Shu for a moment, then on Dai Mubai for a moment, seemingly unsure of what he was planning.
Zhao Wuji looked at Dai Mubai and saw that Dai Mubai's face was turning blue and purple in waves. His once beautiful face was now disfigured.
However, it's normal for a man to have some bruises. Zhao Wuji didn't look at Dai Mubai much; he turned directly to Ning Shu and asked, "Ning Shu, I heard that your martial soul has evolved. Is that true?"
Everyone turned to look at Ning Shu.
Although everyone already knew that Ning Shu's martial soul had evolved and had witnessed its evolved form, they were still very curious about it, especially Dai Mubai and Tang San.
Tang San was still bothered by what Ning Shu had said, but with Xiao Wu by his side, he didn't have time to be alone with Ning Shu, so he could only keep his doubts to himself for the time being.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ning Shu didn't really want to hide it anymore. She nodded generously and replied, "Yes, my martial soul has evolved."
"What has it evolved into?" Flander pressed.
He was quite eager to see a martial spirit that could beat Dai Mubai into such a state.
Ning Shu released her soul power, and her three soul rings began to pulsate up and down. A pale purple bell covered by soul power appeared in her right palm. The bell had a phantom image attached to it. If you didn't look closely, you would definitely see one bell as several bells, and you might even feel a little dizzy.
"This is…"
Flander and Zhao Wuji both leaned closer to look. The two of them stood on either side of Ning Shu, directly blocking the view of others.
Dai Mubai had the good fortune to have seen Ning Shu's soul skills, so he wasn't particularly interested in her martial soul. Tang San, on the other hand, moved closer to Flander and began to observe Ning Shu's martial soul with him.
"Old Zhao, have you ever seen this martial spirit before?"
Flander pushed up his glasses and asked with a frown.
"No," Zhao Wuji replied, shaking his head. "This is the first time I've seen it."
"It's called the Phantom Nine Bells," Ning Shu said.
"The Nine-Belled Phantom?" Flander and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, blinked, and both indicated that they had never heard of it.
"Cough cough—"
To avoid embarrassment, Flander cleared his throat and straightened up, no longer looking at Ning Shu's martial soul.
He put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "Ning Shu's martial soul evolution is a good thing, why are you hiding it from me?"
"I wasn't hiding anything," Ning Shu said innocently. "I only found out last night!"
what?
I only found out last night?
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but want to expose the lie, but Flander was faster than him. Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Flander say, "I see. Since your martial soul has evolved, your soul skills should have changed accordingly. With Old Zhao here today, why don't you try out your soul skills?"
"Sure, Dean." Ning Shu nodded, then hesitated, "But if I fight Teacher Zhao, wouldn't the difference in our soul power be too great?"
Rather than fighting Zhao Wuji, she'd rather spar with others, especially since Tang San seemed quite interested in her martial soul.
"Dean, let me do it."
