Chapter 11 Beating Up the Scoundrel, Taking Zhu Zhuqing as Disciple
"What, Twin Martial Souls!"
Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai exclaimed, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had just fainted, woke up upon hearing the exclamations.
They vaguely heard the words "Twin Martial Souls" and opened their eyes to look at Tang San.
Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, clenched his fists, his body surging with killing intent.
"Damn it, I didn't expect Tang San's secret of Twin Martial Souls to be discovered! What should I do? Should I kill everyone here?!"
Tang San hadn't grown up yet, and if the Spirit Hall
found out, it would likely bring him to his death. However, he quickly suppressed this thought. Destroying several academies guarded by Soul Saints for no reason would only allow the Spirit Hall to discover his whereabouts sooner. If
none of these were possible,
then the only option left was to threaten Shrek Academy and the others with force, preventing them from revealing Tang San's Twin Martial Souls.
However, the killing intent in his eyes towards Lan Minghua was almost tangible.
Lan Minghua keenly sensed Tang Hao's killing intent, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
Tang San's face was as dark as a storm cloud, so gloomy it seemed to drip water. "You
actually exposed my twin martial souls! You've already committed suicide!"
Tang San had intended to break through Lan Minghua's defenses with a full-force strike of the Clear Sky Hammer, continuing the fight with hidden weapons.
Unexpectedly, Lan Minghua directly withdrew his defenses, blocking Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer attack.
Hearing the exclamations behind him, Tang San knew his twin martial souls had been exposed and quickly withdrew his weapon.
His eyes narrowed, and a poisoned blade appeared on his shoe. Without hesitation, he kicked Lan Minghua in the neck, clearly aiming to kill.
Lan Minghua's lips curled into a cold smile; he had anticipated Tang San's enraged attack.
He slightly sidestepped, dodging Tang San's kick, and retaliated with a kick of his own.
Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes narrowed, a sneer appearing on his lips. He used his Ghost Shadow Steps to retreat a step, avoiding the kick.
At this moment, he was extremely smug, thinking that even a Soul Saint's attack was nothing special.
Lan Minghua's lips curled slightly, seeing through his carelessness.
"It's good for young people to be confident, but too much confidence is arrogance, which is very bad."
Tang San wanted to retort, but suddenly felt something fly towards his cheek.
Before he could react, a slipper slapped him hard across the face.
With a loud smack, his face rippled like water, and saliva mixed with bright red blood sprayed out.
The force of the slipper was great; Tang San felt dizzy, his body spinning rapidly like a top.
He spun and crashed into an abandoned wooden house, kicking up a cloud of dust, and passed out.
The slipper bounced precisely back onto Lan Minghua's raised foot; everything was so casual.
At this time, one-fifth of an incense stick had not yet burned out, which meant that Tang San and his group of four had not passed the final test.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked grim; they hadn't expected that their exceptional talent would fail Shrek Academy's entrance test.
Lan Minghua wanted to take Zhu Zhuqing as his disciple, so naturally he wouldn't kick her out.
Of course, even if he wanted to, Zhao Wuji wouldn't agree.
"Old Zhao, come out and explain. Otherwise, they really won't be able to join Shrek Academy."
At this moment, Zhao Wuji stepped forward, not feeling anything was wrong about Lan Minghua's heavy blow to Tang San.
On the contrary, he felt that Lan Minghua had done very well.
Tang San was obviously an arrogant person, and his attacks were ruthless; that last move clearly showed he intended to kill.
Lan Minghua knocked him unconscious without truly injuring him, which was already very magnanimous.
If it were him, he would have hit him even harder.
He said to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, "Alright, you've both passed the test."
Ning Rongrong said, "Teacher Zhao, didn't we not last a full incense stick's time?" "This final test is merely to temper the arrogance in you geniuses. Would you accept instruction without it?" Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice.
Ning Rongrong curled her lip; he was clearly referring to people like her.
As the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was usually personally taught by a Title Douluo, and she truly looked down on anyone else's instruction.
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't join the academy, she really didn't know where to go.
However, after witnessing Lan Minghua's strength, her hope for Shrek Academy was rekindled.
Lan Minghua had been observing Zhu Zhuqing's emotional changes, and noticing the renewed light in her eyes, he walked up to her and asked,
"Hey, pretty lady, would you like to be my disciple?"
Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised by this.
Although it was a bit sudden, it was a godsend for her, who was all alone.
But before Zhu Zhuqing could answer, Dai Mubai became anxious.
Having just seen Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, he had already recognized her identity.
He hurriedly spoke up, hastily answering for her, "I'm sorry, Zhu Qing doesn't want to become your disciple."
Lan Minghua knew about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship, but with another woman in his arms, what right did he have to answer for Zhu Zhuqing?
Feigning ignorance, he asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Pretty lady, can he answer for you?"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, who was holding Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with disgust. He was truly greedy.
Dai Mubai had disappointed her greatly; she saw no hope of defeating Davis and her sister.
"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?" Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai's livid face and spoke in a cold voice.
Turning to Lan Minghua, she said softly, "As long as it makes me stronger, I'm willing to become your disciple."
Lan Minghua knew why Zhu Zhuqing had traveled so far to the Heavenly Dou Empire to find Dai Mubai.
To become stronger and escape her unjust fate.
However, he still wanted to ask to see if Zhu Zhuqing was being honest.
"Why do you want to become stronger?"
Zhu Zhuqing said, "My motivation for cultivating until now is simply to escape my miserable fate. I don't want to be a foil for the losers; I just want to live."
Others couldn't understand her words, but Dai Mubai felt utterly ashamed.
Because the Star Luo Empire had a unique succession system, all princes were destined to be rivals from birth.
Only the ultimate victor became emperor, while the loser was either eliminated or crippled.
Although Zhu Zhuqing wasn't from the Star Luo royal family, her clan's martial soul possessed a natural fusion skill with the Star Luo royal family's inherited Evil-Eyed White Tiger.
Women of her clan were betrothed to Star Luo princes of similar age after birth to compete for the throne.
Their fate upon failure was naturally death, becoming crippled, or becoming someone else's plaything.
However, several years ago, fearing assassination by his elder brother, Dai Mubai abandoned the less than ten-year-old Zhu Zhuqing and fled to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Unwilling to accept her fate, Zhu Zhuqing diligently cultivated and finally escaped the Star Luo Empire.
But upon seeing the fallen Dai Mubai, her last hope was shattered once again.
Fortunately, witnessing Shrek Academy's impressive teaching staff, her eyes regained their light.
Naturally, she wouldn't refuse someone at least a Soul Saint who wanted to take her as a disciple.
Lan Minghua wasn't surprised by this answer, and Zhu Zhuqing explained her reasons for her relentless cultivation.
Such a person, unwilling to accept her fate, was worthy of being his disciple.
"A very good answer. From now on, you are my second disciple. Don't worry, I will do my utmost to help you become stronger and escape that unfair fate."
Zhu Zhuqing felt a care she had never experienced before from Lan Minghua, her beautiful eyebrows trembling.
She knelt heavily before Lan Minghua, kowtowing deeply to the ground.
"Zhu Zhuqing greets Master."
