Chapter 140 Shrek Academy is Utterly Hypocritical! Lu Ming's Identity Exposed, Happy Superman?!
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er stood there, watching the receding figure, momentarily lost in thought.
Just then.
Shuiyue'er, who had been silent all along, suddenly wrinkled her nose, as if trying to catch a scent in the air.
"elder sister..."
"What's wrong?" Shui Bing'er asked absentmindedly.
Shui Yue'er frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Don't you think his scent... is a little familiar?"
Shui Bing'er was taken aback: "Smell? What smell?"
"It's the scent I smelled when he hugged us just now."
Shuiyue tried hard to recall, her little face contorted in a frown.
"My martial soul is a dolphin, which makes me extremely sensitive to smells. This scent, crisp and clear with a hint of grass and wood fragrance… I'm sure I've smelled it somewhere before."
"Just like...just like that older brother with the mask!"
Shui Bing'er shuddered.
That mysterious masked man?
The "Happy Superman" who kicked Dai Mubai in the mass grave and saved them in the Star Dou Great Forest?
"Moon, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Shui Bing'er retorted instinctively.
"That mysterious person is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse; he even killed Zhao Wuji. Lu Ming is strong, but he's only a Soul Venerable. How could they be the same person?"
"Moreover, we were all poisoned at that time, and it was normal for us to have hallucinations because we were not in our right mind."
Shuiyue scratched her head and muttered uncertainly:
"Is it really an illusion?"
"But the taste is so similar..."
Shui Bing'er looked at Lu Ming's back, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.
If it really is him...
No, that's impossible.
The age doesn't match, and neither does the ability.
I'm probably overthinking it.
...
Below the ring.
As soon as Lu Ming stepped down, he was surrounded by several women.
"Captain! You scared me to death!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were red, and as she spoke, she reached out to lift Lu Ming's shirt to look at his wound.
Are you stupid?
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her cat-like eyes were full of heartache, and she had already taken out the best healing medicine.
"Get out of the way!"
A fiery red figure squeezed in.
Liu Erlong shoved aside the student next to him and looked at Lu Ming's bloodied and mangled back. This usually hot-tempered "Horn of Slaughter" was now trembling slightly in his voice.
"You brat! Are you out of your mind?!"
"..."
Seeing Liu Erlong's anxious expression, almost jumping up and down, Lu Ming felt a warmth in his heart and grinned.
"Teacher Erlong, I'm fine."
"Are you really alright?" Liu Erlong stared wide-eyed. "You've lost so much blood and you're still alright? Do you think you're made of iron?"
Lu Ming shrugged and circulated his soul power slightly.
"Have you forgotten what my martial spirit is?"
"Blue Silver Grass has no shortage of vitality."
As he spoke, a faint blue-gold light emanated from the wound on his back.
Nourished by that astonishing vitality, the originally hideous wound began to stop bleeding and scab over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That recovery speed was simply insane.
Actually, that explosion, though it looked scary, wasn't really a serious injury to him.
Most of the impact was absorbed by his soul power shield, and the remaining superficial injuries could be largely healed by slightly activating the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone skill.
He made things so disastrous for two reasons: firstly, to gain favor with others, and secondly, to conceal his true abilities.
If someone could withstand a powerful attack head-on and still be alive and kicking without even breaking a sweat, that would be too astonishing and would easily attract the attention of those old monsters from the Spirit Hall.
Seeing that Lu Ming's injuries were improving rapidly, Liu Erlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, her face hardened, and she reached out and gave Lu Ming a hard knock on the forehead.
"Ouch!" Lu Ming exclaimed dramatically.
"What are you yelling about! You deserve a beating!"
"..."
Although Liu Erlong was fierce in words, his actions turned into gentle caresses, and finally he pulled Lu Ming into his arms.
"If you dare to act so recklessly again, I'll break your legs!"
Feeling Liu Erlong's surging embrace and genuine concern, Lu Ming smiled helplessly and gently patted her back.
"Understood, teacher."
This scene made Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were standing nearby, feel a pang of jealousy.
Although I know Liu Erlong is my teacher and my adoptive mother, isn't this hug a bit too tight?
Just then.
Two hesitant figures walked over.
It was Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
The two had changed out of their team uniforms and into regular clothes, but their faces still showed some paleness and guilt.
Upon seeing them approach, Ning Rongrong immediately stood in front of Lu Ming like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"What are you doing here?"
"Haven't you hurt our captain enough?"
Zhu Zhuqing also had a cold face, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Shui Bing'er paused, a hint of embarrassment and apology on her face.
"Um...we're here to apologize."
"Also, to express my gratitude to Captain Lu Ming for saving my life."
Shuiyue peeked out from behind her sister and said weakly, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to..."
Lu Ming broke free from Liu Erlong's embrace, patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder, and gestured for her not to be so fierce.
"It's alright, on the field, everyone relies on their own abilities."
Shui Bing'er looked at Lu Ming, bit her lip, and seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage.
"Captain Lu Ming, would it be convenient... for us to talk privately?"
"There are some things I want to tell you privately."
"..."
Upon hearing the word "alone," Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's alarm radars went off instantly.
"no!"
The two spoke in unison.
Lu Ming looked at the two jealous girls with amusement and gave them a reassuring look.
"We'll just chat for a bit, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he nodded to Shui Bing'er.
"Let's go, it's quieter over there."
Watching Lu Ming leave with the Shui Bing'er sisters, Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger.
"Vixen! They're all vixens!"
"Using a honey trap when you can't win a fight? That's shameless!"
...
On the other side, in a corner of the stands.
The Shrek Academy group was preparing to leave with grim faces.
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun pointed into the distance and exclaimed:
"Hey? Look! Isn't that Lu Ming and Shui Bing'er?"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.
Sure enough, Lu Ming and the Tianshui sisters were seen walking to a secluded corner, seemingly having a pleasant conversation.
A terrifyingly cold light instantly erupted from Dai Mubai's pair of evil eyes.
"They actually got together?"
"Teacher Zhao is still missing. Only Shui Bing'er and a few others were present that night."
"Whether Teacher Zhao is alive or dead, and who that masked person is, only they can find out!"
At this point, Dai Mubai suddenly looked at Flander and Yu Xiaogang.
"Dean, Master!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Now that they're alone, if we can catch Shui Bing'er and force her to reveal the truth about that night, we might even be able to get rid of that troublemaker Lu Ming along the way!"
