After leaving the dejected Ning Rongrong behind, Ao Siqin continued walking toward the training ground. By the time he arrived, Flender had just finished his summary.
Seeing the six people on the field looking so battered and miserable, Ao Siqin couldn't help but feel deeply grateful that he'd been spared from such devilish training.
When Flender saw Ao Siqin approaching, he first asked with concern about his condition. Upon hearing that Ao Siqin's body had already recovered, he said no more and dismissed the group.
Since the six of them had missed the academy's dinner time, Ao Siqin contributed his own hamburgers. In terms of filling one's stomach, hamburgers were indeed far better than sausages.
The seven of them walked back toward the dormitory area together, chatting and laughing along the way. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun teased Ao Siqin, asking whether he had enjoyed his day of sleeping.
Naturally, Ao Siqin had to "satisfy" their masochistic behavior.
"Ah, that nap of mine was divine. I woke up feeling completely refreshed — not a single part of my body uncomfortable, and full of energy all over.
Especially after Cohen told me about the tragic day you all had, I felt even more at ease. So, I came over to bring you your dinner."
As soon as he finished speaking, all six of them glared at him furiously.
Oscar said gloomily, "Little brother, are you sure you really want to show off like this?"
The resentment in his tone was enough to make anyone shiver. Ao Siqin knew he shouldn't push things too far, so he quickly explained,
"Hey, this really isn't my fault. I honestly just came because I knew you hadn't eaten, so I brought you something.
Who could've guessed someone here just couldn't resist asking for punishment?
And if we're talking about why I couldn't attend class today, the main culprits are Old Zhao and Little San."
"Hm?" Tang San looked innocent — clearly, it had been Zhao Wuji who punished you, so what did that have to do with me?
"Ah, Little San, you really can't deny it. It is because of you.
Before the term even started, after Boss Dai sparred with you once, he was completely impressed with your abilities. He said you were the strongest Control System Great Soul Master he had ever met.
You should know this — among Soul Masters of the same level, Control-type ones are usually the hardest to deal with. And for a genius-level Control-type, the difficulty rises another notch.
Based on Boss Dai's evaluation of your strength, in a team battle our top priority had to be restricting your performance.
If we couldn't restrain you, then during yesterday's test it was entirely possible you'd have led the new students to perform far beyond their normal level.
If that had really happened, we might have lost miserably.
So, to avoid punishment and make sure we could win that assessment, our tactic was to isolate you from the other freshmen and make them fight separately.
But do you have any idea how much effort I had to spend just to keep you out of the battle zone?
I'm not bragging — out of everyone here except you, I could hold any of them off with less than half the firepower I used on you yesterday.
That ghost-like movement technique of yours is pure nemesis to us long-range attackers.
If it weren't for me having to focus all my mental energy calculating your movements just to block you, I wouldn't have drained my spirit power so fast.
Do you think I would've suffered mental exhaustion from just using one Soul Fusion Technique otherwise?"
Hearing Ao Siqin's words, Dai Mubai's face darkened, but he still said,
"Although that bastard Ao's words sound unpleasant, what he said is true.
When we sparred with him, he didn't even need to use such high firepower to stop us.
Ao's control over long-range attack Soul Tools is so precise that he could even surpass Teacher Shao Xin, the Rank 73 Food System Soul Saint, in accuracy.
His point-fire attacks, with their extreme precision and accurate prediction of our movements, can form a full-scale web of fire.
But yesterday, when he intercepted you, he used those rare, high-intensity coverage tactics that he almost never employs against us.
When I reviewed the battle, I even found that Ao somehow made the fire coverage denser than normal.
That kind of manipulation is much harder than just ordinary area fire and consumes even more mental energy.
And even so, Ao still had to predict your next movements; otherwise, you'd have escaped the fire net.
You actually did once — that was when Ao was distracted explaining the tactics to us, and you broke through, though you only advanced about three meters before he blocked you again.
So I believe when he fought you, Ao's consumption wasn't just soul power — he spent massive mental energy to keep his attacks precise.
That's why his brain slipped into fatigue without him realizing it, and when he later performed the Soul Fusion Technique with Big Ao, he completely overdrew his mental power."
"So, Little San, my absence from class today really is your fault," Ao Siqin said, picking up where Dai Mubai left off.
"Think about how much damage you caused me during that test. You really don't need to be hung up about losing that fight.
Once you get familiar with Soul Tools — or even learn to craft them — I won't be able to stop you anymore. Good thing we're teammates, or I'd be worried sick.
I doubt my close-combat ability could ever match yours. My instinct tells me that even now, with your limited knowledge of Soul Tools,
if you got close enough to me, I wouldn't even have a chance to run."
After this string of words that looked like criticism but was actually filled with praise, Tang San's face finally showed a rare hint of shyness.
At the same time, a voice echoed in Tang San's mind:
"That's right. Once our distance closes enough for my Martial Soul to reach you,
I can combine hidden weapons with soul skills to completely trap you — that much confidence I do have."
Thirty minutes later, in Ao Siqin and Oscar's dorm room, Ao Siqin came out of the bathroom after showering and saw Oscar, already bathed and dressed, sitting distractedly on the sofa.
While secretly finding it amusing, Ao Siqin also sighed at the wonder of fate.
When everyone returned to the dorm area earlier, they didn't find Ning Rongrong inside.
So Ao Siqin had Cohen go out to check, and he found that the young lady was running laps around the village — gritting her teeth and crying as she did.
There were no lights around the village, and the roads were pitch dark, so according to Cohen, Ning Rongrong's run looked truly miserable.
Since then, Oscar had been sitting like this — clearly wanting to go find her but hesitating.
"Bro, if you're really that worried about her, just go take a look.
You know, when a girl is at her most vulnerable, showing your warm, caring side often wins her heart.
If you're worried that going now might interrupt Dean Flender's reformation plan, you can wait until after midnight.
By then, Ning Rongrong will definitely be cold, hungry, lonely, and scared.
If she can still persevere under those conditions, then it'll mean she's genuinely determined to change — and her willpower is strong.
Her earlier behavior was just the result of being spoiled for too long and not adjusting her mindset properly.
If you get along with her sincerely, you'll discover she really has her shining points.
So come on, bro — if you manage to win her heart, your little brother here will live the rest of his life worry-free! As they say, 'Sacrifice one, bless the whole family.' Oh, and don't forget to shave your beard."
At first, Oscar was moved by Ao Siqin's words — his little brother really understood him, even thinking through every detail.
But as soon as he heard the last part, he realized something was off — what did this brat mean? Sell him off for a good price!?
Even though he knew Ao Siqin was just teasing, Oscar couldn't help but feel irritated.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You little brat, I know you're smart, but can't you not mock me for once?"
Ao Siqin just smiled and said cheerfully, "Next time, for sure." Then he left the room, leaving Oscar fuming behind.
After leaving, Ao Siqin knocked on Tang San's door. When Tang San came out, the two of them headed toward the girls' dormitory.
Oh, right — construction on the new dorms had already begun, and according to the workers, it would take about six days to complete.
After knocking on the girls' dorm door and waiting for about two minutes, Xiao Wu came out to open it for them. When they entered, they found Zhu Zhuqing already waiting in the small lounge.
"Sorry to disturb you all at this hour," Ao Siqin said first, bowing apologetically before continuing:
"I know you're probably very tired right now, but I still thickened my skin to come here.
After today's training, I'm sure the six of you have come to understand each other quite a bit. But since I wasn't part of it, to you, I must still be something of a stranger.
Don't deny it — that's perfectly normal. I'm not familiar with you either.
I came tonight to strengthen our mutual understanding. I don't want to become an outsider just because I missed one class.
So, what do you three say? Would you let me take a little shortcut — to deepen our understanding without going through that hellish training?"
