Evening.
Two carriages, one after the other, slowly drove into a small town and finally stopped in front of an inn that combined lodging and dining.
"We finally made it to Hunter's Town. My old back is about to break. Now it seems, a few people crammed into a small carriage is not as easy as walking or running."
Stepping down from the carriage, Ma Hongjun rubbed his waist, his eyes somewhat resentfully looking at Flender.
"You said that yourself."
"Next time we go hunting, we won't take a carriage."
"It'll also save the academy some expenses."
Flender didn't care about Ma Hongjun's resentful little gaze; he only heard Ma Hongjun say he didn't want to take a carriage.
"Ah, no!"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun let out a miserable cry.
He was very depressed now. He just wanted Flender to change to a larger carriage. How could he have forgotten that Flender was a miser? Now he had screwed himself and everyone else over.
"It's decided then."
Flender ignored Ma Hongjun's cries, waved his hand to settle the matter, and then, before Dai Mubai and the others could object, pushed Yu Xiaogang into the inn.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai and the others, who also understood Flender's miserly nature, could only smile bitterly and shake their heads, following closely behind them into the inn.
"Fatty."
"Because of your big mouth, Dean Flender has an excuse to cancel our carriage privileges in the future. You must treat us to this meal."
In the hall, Dai Mubai threw the menu in front of Ma Hongjun, saying fiercely.
"Uh."
"I don't have money."
Ma Hongjun's face fell.
"Shen Fan, why don't you order?"
"As a new member of our team, consider this a welcome dinner for you."
At this moment, Liu Erlong walked over from another table and placed the menu in front of Shen Fan.
"Then thank you, Dean Liu."
Seeing this, Shen Fan didn't act coy.
"From now on, you can call me Dean Ice dragon king, just like them."
Liu Erlong smiled.
"Okay."
Shen Fan naturally wouldn't refuse an opportunity to improve his relationship with Liu Erlong.
"Alright then."
"I'll go back to my table now."
With that, Liu Erlong returned to the teachers' table.
"Shen Fan, Dean Ice dragon king is too good to you! She specifically gave you a welcome banquet."
"When we came to Shrek Academy, we didn't get this kind of treatment."
"Did you know Dean Ice dragon king before?"
Ma Hongjun asked enviously.
When they came to the academy, there was a welcome banquet, but that was to entertain Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the teachers; the seven students were just an afterthought.
"Yes."
"I've known Dean Ice dragon king for a long time."
Shen Fan said in a joking tone, then, regardless of Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's reactions, he looked at the menu and started ordering.
"Shen Fan."
"I heard you're already level 45. Judging by your appearance, you shouldn't be very old, right?"
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Ning Rongrong asked.
"I should be considered twelve years old now."
Shen Fan wasn't exactly lying; when he transmigrated, the Diary System made him twelve years old. He couldn't possibly tell them his age in his original World, could he?
"Hiss."
"Twelve years old, level 45."
"You're the person with the highest cultivation talent I've ever seen since I was little."
"Compared to you, we Shrek Seven Devils are nothing."
No wonder they say the prettier a girl is, the more she can lie. Ning Rongrong's expression of shock mixed with a hint of envy was more convincing than the real thing.
"It's alright."
Shen Fan glanced at the darkened faces of Dai Mubai and the others. He wasn't too smug, after all, he knew his own situation; his current strength was all given to him by the Diary System.
"You're too modest."
"Your cultivation talent completely surpasses Spirit Hall's Golden Generation."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand and continued to feign her surprise.
"Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?"
"Who are they?"
Ma Hongjun asked.
"They are the three strongest young experts of Spirit Hall's current generation."
Ning Rongrong said.
"Are they stronger than our Shrek Seven Devils?"
"Also, how do you know all this?"
Ma Hongjun was a bit unconvinced.
"The three of them are all level 49 now, what do you think?"
"As for the source of this information, that's naturally what our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School found out."
This information was no secret to super-power like the Upper Three Sects to which Ning Rongrong belonged.
"Level 49?"
"And there are three of them?"
"Doesn't that mean that in this Elite Competition, we'll be facing three Spirit Kings?"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Ning Rongrong."
"Is your information reliable?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's voice came over.
"Of course it's reliable."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.
"Then why didn't you say so before?"
"If I had known this information earlier, my training for you all would definitely have changed."
Yu Xiaogang's words carried a hint of reproach.
"This is information collected by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I say it if I want to, and I don't say it if I don't want to. Why so many questions?"
Facing Yu Xiaogang's reproach, Ning Rongrong's expression also turned cold.
"Alright."
"Rongrong is right, this is information gathered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's their freedom whether to say it or not."
"Let's eat first, the innkeeper has already started serving the dishes."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Liu Erlong stepped in and pushed Yu Xiaogang back to the teachers' table, while also glaring at Tang San, who was about to lose his temper.
"Shen Fan, do you want to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
As fellow owners of the Diary System, Ning Rongrong still had to give Liu Erlong face. Moreover, Liu Erlong was a good person and had earned Ning Rongrong's genuine approval.
"What are the benefits of joining your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Shen Fan asked.
"What do you want?"
"As long as our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has it, we can discuss it."
Ning Rongrong thought Shen Fan was serious about joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and quickly promised.
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer: "Holy crap, there's a scoundrel trying to poach our talent."
Douluo I Ning Rongrong Livestream: "."
"Really, anything can be discussed?"
Shen Fan looked at Ning Rongrong with interest.
"Really."
Ning Rongrong argued with the other girls from Douluo One in the livestream while re-affirming her promise.
"What if I said, I want you?"
Shen Fan said with a half-smile.
"Ah, this."
Ning Rongrong didn't expect Shen Fan to be so direct and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
"Shen Fan."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong blush and remain silent, Oscar finally couldn't help but jump out.
He had been displeased ever since Ning Rongrong proactively spoke to Shen Fan.
"What do I mean?"
Shen Fan glanced at Oscar.
