"What?"
Hearing Flender's words, everyone froze.
Even Lin Xian was momentarily speechless.
What kind of ridiculous class was this?
Flender spoke with authority:
"This is called adaptability training. Let me ask you—what's more important, your life or your pride? You are classmates who will face trials together. If you can't coordinate with him, then you're wasting your best support partner!"
"Forget sausages—sometimes, to survive, you may have to eat rats, cockroaches, even earthworms!"
The moment he said that, the three girls turned pale.
Ning Rongrong, in particular, already felt nauseous.
Flender stood there sternly—no one was getting out of this.
—
Meanwhile, Oscar was practically blooming with joy.
This… this was his moment!
When had he ever been this glorious?
Back when he sold sausages, people looked down on him. But now?
Everyone had to eat them!
Ah!
This feels amazing!
A wretched glint flashed in his eyes as he deliberately glanced at Ning Rongrong.
If he could, he'd go kiss Flender right now.
The dean truly understood him!
Three stunning beauties—all about to eat his sausages!
Just the thought made him ecstatic.
He stretched out his hands, grinning shamelessly, even starting to sway with excitement.
"I have a big sausage~"
"I have a small cured sausage~"
One thick, one thin—two completely different sausages appeared in his hands.
He scanned the group before locking onto the three girls.
"Who's first?"
—
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had experienced this before.
Though slightly traumatized, they stepped forward.
Better to get it over with.
Tang San followed, enduring it with a frown and finishing quickly.
Now…
Only the girls—and Lin Xian—remained.
Oscar's excitement skyrocketed.
Even the way he produced sausages became… suggestive.
—
Lin Xian stepped forward.
"Dean, can I not eat?"
Flender frowned.
Was this a challenge to his authority?
"We've already eaten breakfast. We really can't fit these in—better leave them to Dai Mubai and the others."
"Besides, you said yourself—only in life-or-death situations would we eat anything. If that happens, we'll definitely eat them. So this training feels unnecessary."
As Lin Xian spoke, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also stepped forward, standing beside him.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu hesitated briefly—then stepped out too.
She absolutely didn't want to eat that.
Especially after seeing Oscar's expression…
There was no way she could swallow it.
—
Oscar froze.
He hadn't expected things to go like this.
He had been looking forward to this moment—
Only to get slapped by reality.
This was outright humiliation!
His body stiffened.
One hand held the sausages tightly, the other clenched into a fist.
He looked like he was about to explode.
—
Lin Xian, however, was delighted.
Because just now—
Another white card had dropped from Oscar.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Looks like this guy had plenty of "potential."
—
Flender, on the other hand, felt a headache coming on.
If it were just one student, he could scold them like yesterday.
Maybe even threaten expulsion.
That would settle things quickly.
But now?
Four of them stood together.
Could he really expel all of them?
These were top-tier talents.
Zhu Zhuqing had the highest spirit power—and her spirit even made him wary.
Lin Xian and Xiao Wu were both at level 29, on the verge of becoming Spirit Elders.
As for Ning Rongrong—though only level 26—she possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the continent's strongest support spirit, and was the young master of her sect.
Expelling her?
Not an option.
—
"…Fine. This training isn't exactly friendly to girls. We'll end it here. Tonight—"
Before he could finish—
"Dean, I've broken through to level 30!"
Oscar suddenly shouted.
Flender paused, then carefully sensed it.
His expression immediately changed to one of delight.
"Good! Very good! Oscar, you didn't disappoint me!"
"Then tonight's plans change. No Great Spirit Arena—for now."
"There's a new lesson."
He looked at everyone.
"Go back and prepare. Tomorrow morning, the entire group will head out. Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to the Star Dou Forest to obtain Oscar's third spirit ring."
"This isn't just Oscar's task—it's a trial for all of you. Until you face a thousand-year spirit beast, Teacher Zhao will not intervene. You'll rely on yourselves."
"Dismissed!"
—
Hearing this, Oscar's smile returned.
If they didn't eat now…
They would have to during the trial.
Hehehe.
Maybe this was just the beginning.
I, Oscar… truly am the protagonist!
—
With class over, everyone headed back.
Ning Rongrong followed Lin Xian and Zhu Zhuqing.
She hadn't forgotten—
He had promised to take her to a mysterious space.
Since there was no rush, the three walked leisurely.
Along the way, Ning Rongrong turned unusually talkative, asking all sorts of questions.
She even pestered Lin Xian to continue the story of "Brother Luck."
After hearing Zhu Zhuqing retell it, she had become completely hooked.
In short:
More updates!
—
After a while, they arrived at Lin Xian's dormitory.
"Quick, quick! How do we enter that strange space?"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
(✧◡✧)
Lin Xian didn't answer.
Instead, he extended his hand toward her.
Ning Rongrong blinked.
"…What does that mean?"
"Hold it," Lin Xian said calmly. "Otherwise, how am I supposed to take you there?"
