Yang Tian yawned, listening to the crickets chirping in the jungle: "I was just about to sleep when I felt someone pass by, so I came out to take a look."
How powerful was Yang Tian's divine soul? Zhu Zhuqing just walked past his window and glanced into his room, and he sensed it.
"What about you? Why did you suddenly come here? Missed me?" Yang Tian leaned against a big tree, stretching lazily.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have gotten used to Yang Tian's flippancy and, for once, didn't blush. "I found that my cultivation speed suddenly increased a lot, but it only lasted for a few hours."
Yang Tian wasn't surprised: "Normal. It should be the residue of me in your body working."
Zhu Zhuqing spat lightly upon hearing this: "Pervert!"
"Huh?" Yang Tian felt wronged; he really wasn't making an inappropriate joke.
"That, does it consume a lot from you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked again.
"Which one are you asking about? I'm strong in all aspects," Yang Tian replied sincerely.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't stand Yang Tian's teasing anymore; her chest heaved slightly, and she was about to leave.
But Yang Tian's figure flickered, appearing not far in front of her. This time, he spoke much more honestly: "The fact that you can come here proves that you've thought it through. Are you going to accept my help?"
"What do you want? Besides... besides that, anything is fine!" Zhu Zhuqing bit her red lips. Dai Mubai's performance during the day had disappointed her too much. Coupled with some inexplicable psychological urges, she wanted to fight for true freedom.
Yang Tian, uncharacteristically, didn't seize the opportunity to tease Zhu Zhuqing. Instead, he said seriously: "How should I put it? The reason I help you does indeed have some initial intentions of being attracted by your beauty. But liking is just liking; love is another level. I never deny that I am also a fickle person, but I haven't fallen to such a deplorable state."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze. She wanted to open her mouth to explain something, afraid that Yang Tian would misunderstand. However, Yang Tian didn't give her another chance to speak. Instead, he said: "Ten o'clock tonight, still here. You have one more day to decide."
Watching Yang Tian's retreating figure, Zhu Zhuqing remained rooted to the spot in a daze: Is he angry? I shouldn't have said that, I didn't mean it...
Yang Tian didn't misunderstand. The firmer Zhu Zhuqing's bottom line was, the happier he was. What was the purpose of coming to Douluo? To set right all injustices! To do what he wanted to do! To achieve the beauty in his heart!
"Ding! Mission issued: Help Zhu Zhuqing complete her transformation!
Reward: One epic theft coupon."
"Indeed, the greater the impact on the plot, the higher the difficulty, and the richer the rewards!" The system's missions were increasingly to Yang Tian's liking.
The next morning, in the cafeteria.
"Fatty, you're not going out tonight, are you?" As soon as breakfast was finished, Dai Mubai suddenly spoke.
Ma Hongjun nodded, whispering: "My evil fire was mostly vented yesterday, so I shouldn't be going out for the next two days."
Dai Mubai said: "Alright then, you stay in the dorm tonight. I need to go out. To find that pair of twins from last time."
Fatty's eyes lit up, "Boss Dai, you eat meat, do I get any soup?"
Dai Mubai said unhappily: "These things are only enjoyable when both parties are willing; a forced melon isn't sweet." As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Zhu Zhuqing paid no attention. She had made her final decision last night; whatever Dai Mubai did was no longer her concern.
As for the engagement, just as Yang Tian had said when he invited her to eat instant noodles yesterday morning: "All rules and regulations are made for the weak. The strong only make the rules."
Since she had made her choice, then everything about Dai Mubai had nothing to do with her. How could she bother with him?
The bell rang, and everyone gathered on the training ground.
Ning Rongrong glared at Yang Tian, gritting her teeth, but dared not provoke him, looking exactly like a defeated little hen.
Flender scanned the crowd, frowning: "Where's Oscar? Today's class can't start without him."
Tang San, who shared a dorm with Oscar, said: "I saw him meditating this morning, so I didn't wake him up."
Flender immediately said: "Go call him."
However, before Tang San could move, Oscar rushed over, but there was no panic of being late on his face; instead, it was filled with excitement.
"Oscar, are you trying to run laps again?" Dean Flender glared at him.
Oscar quickly shook his head, "No, Dean, please listen to my explanation. I've broken through; I've reached level thirty."
"What?" Not just Flender, but Dai Mubai and the others all cast surprised glances at Oscar, which naturally didn't include Yang Tian.
"Hahaha, good, Oscar, you're the... first, second, third, fourth, fifth?" Flender counted. Dai Mubai, Yang Tian, Tang San, Xiao Wu—that's already four.
Yes, Tang San and Xiao Wu had also broken through to level thirty upon entering the academy, they just hadn't acquired a spirit ring yet.
"It's alright, it's alright, Oscar, you're a support system Spirit Master. support system Spirit Masters have a much harder time cultivating than other Spirit Masters." Flender continued to praise him. In terms of talent, Oscar was definitely above Dai Mubai; it was just a different system.
Everyone also offered their congratulations upon hearing this.
"Alright. Today's class begins now." Flender's voice pulled everyone back from congratulating Little Ao.
"Today's class is very simple. Oscar, you are the protagonist today. Today's class is that everyone, except Oscar, must eat at least one of the two types of Sausage created by Oscar's spirit power."
"What?" Xiao Wu exclaimed as soon as she heard Flender's words. "Dean, what kind of class is this?"
Oscar's Sausage...
Flender tried to persuade them, but everyone still couldn't let go of their mental block.
However, Yang Tian didn't care. As a modern person, wasn't it normal to talk about disgusting things at the dinner table?
"Give me two," Yang Tian said. Oscar was stunned to hear this. In his opinion, Yang Tian, with his exceptional talent, should be the most arrogant.
However, he still chanted his spirit incantation and produced two Sausages, one large and one small.
Yang Tian didn't hesitate, directly eating one after another: "Tastes good." As he spoke, he gestured to Zhu Zhuqing, handing her the other one in his hand.
Zhu Zhuqing gazed at Yang Tian, then quickly took the Sausage and ate it.
Seeing Yang Tian's decisiveness, everyone was instantly filled with admiration. Tang San chuckled: "We were being overly sensitive. Oscar, I apologize for my previous behavior."
Saying that, he ate two in a row, then nodded heavily: "The taste is indeed good, and the effect is very strong!"
Subsequently, everyone tried them. With one success came another, and Oscar's Sausage was finally accepted by everyone, which greatly relieved Flender.
Oscar looked at Yang Tian gratefully. He knew that without Yang Tian taking the lead, today's task might have fallen through. "Yang Tian, you deserve your good talent!"
"Hmm, indeed I do!" Yang Tian nodded gravely, causing everyone to laugh, except for Ning Rongrong, who grunted twice to express her displeasure.
With the task completed, Flender spoke again: "Today's class ends here. Tomorrow morning, we will depart for the Star Dou Great Forest to help you acquire spirit rings."
Everyone dispersed, and Yang Tian pondered for a moment, his lips moving, sending a sound transmission into Zhu Zhuqing's ear: "The time has been moved up by two hours."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned to look at Yang Tian, then nodded gently.
