Duolou: After taking advice, I became Supreme!

Yun Feng and Xiao Wu didn't join Ning Rongrong and Oscar for their run. Instead, they sat at the entrance of Shrek Academy, watching the two sweat it out.

At first, Ning Rongrong was full of confidence. Even though she was a support-type soul master, her father had always insisted on her physical training at home, saying almost the same things Flender had told her earlier.

Thus, her body was in good shape. While she wasn't as strong as battle-type soul masters, her consistent training had given her a healthy physique, and she was particularly good at running.

However, despite starting some time ago, under Oscar's lead, they hadn't even finished one lap. Quite a bit of time had already passed.

At this pace, forget lunch—they might not even make it back for dinner.

Moreover, as her stamina drained, there was no way she could maintain this speed indefinitely.

Oscar, smiling bitterly, remarked:

"I said it when we started, this is an impossible task. But don't worry, we're both support-type soul masters—do we really have to fear going hungry? How about I give you something to eat…?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at him. Though still young, her gentle gaze held a certain charm.

Oscar felt his bones weaken under her gaze and chuckled nervously before saying softly, as if offering treasure:

"I've got a big sausage."

With a flash of light, a fragrant sausage appeared in his hand, which he handed to Ning Rongrong.

"My sausage, my first soul ring skill, restores energy. It not only helps heal injuries but also restores stamina. Have some, with my sausage backing us, forget twenty laps—even if we had to run two hundred laps, food wouldn't be a problem."

Ning Rongrong had been doing fine until Oscar's words broke her composure. Remembering the incident when Oscar first joined the academy, she couldn't help but associate the sausage with something foul.

It made her feel utterly disgusted.

On top of that, his ridiculous soul incantation, "Big Sausage," only added to the revolting impression.

After scanning the area to ensure that Yun Feng and Xiao Wu weren't around, she took Oscar's sausage and threw it to the ground.

"Uncle Sausage Seller, are you seriously offering me this to eat? Are you trying to make me sick on purpose?"

With that, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared, granting her an agility boost as she sped forward.

Oscar was instantly furious when he heard her words.

However, his anger wasn't directed at Ning Rongrong but at Tang San!

If it weren't for Tang San's underhanded trick, would he have ended up in this situation?

He wasn't ugly, and he had innate full soul power—yet he couldn't even woo a girl. He hadn't even gotten the chance to speak properly before being rejected!

It was all Tang San's fault!

Whenever Oscar thought about the start of this mess, his rage became uncontrollable!

...

At the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In the main hall.

On the north side of the hall, facing south, stood a large chair made of intricately carved rosewood, with a huge jade stone embedded in the backrest.

The jade was a deep green, exuding a soft, warm aura—it was an exquisite piece of jade.

Sitting in the rosewood chair was a man with jade-like features, a straight nose, and gentle, refined looks. His long white robe was spotlessly clean, giving him an air of calm sophistication.

He appeared to be in his forties, with a gentle gaze, looking just like an ordinary person.

His smooth black hair fell naturally down his back, and everything about him seemed effortlessly relaxed, without any pretense.

At that moment, he was looking down at a young man kneeling before him, dressed in white.

"Sect Master, the young lady has successfully enrolled at Shrek Academy," the young man reported respectfully.

The middle-aged man nodded, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"It's good for that little troublemaker to experience the outside world. Otherwise, she'd think the world outside is far better than home, and she might turn the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect upside down. By the way, how's Shrek Academy?"

"I beg for Sect Master's forgiveness. Shrek Academy has at least one Soul Sage and several Soul Emperor-level experts. I was unable to infiltrate it for further investigation. However, I did deliver your letter to the academy's teachers—it will surely reach their dean."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"Hopefully, after this time away, Rongrong will realize how good she has it at home. Sigh."

After muttering to himself, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may leave."

"Yes, Sect Master." The young man quickly retreated.

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed in the hall, as if coming from all directions, shaking the hall slightly.

"Fengzhi, are you really comfortable letting Rongrong be out there on her own? Do you really think Shrek Academy can teach her better than we can? No way! I'm going to bring her back. I can't stand having her out there."

As the voice boomed, an elderly man with white hair and beard, but with skin as soft as a baby's, strode out from the back hall and sat boldly in a chair beside Sect Master Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi's face showed helplessness.

"Uncle Jian, with you and Uncle Bone around, I had no choice but to let her go. You both spoil her too much, and she's become unmanageable at home. Maybe some education outside will do her good."

Uncle Jian retorted:

"Who said we spoil Rongrong? You only see her playful side, not her obedient one. You have many sons but only one daughter. Can you really bear to let her go?"

Ning Fengzhi firmly replied:

"Uncle Jian, no matter what, I won't go looking for her, and neither will you or Uncle Bone. You don't have to worry about Rongrong's safety. The dean of Shrek Academy is the former leader of the Golden Iron Triangle. He knows our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's martial spirit and will protect Rongrong. She'll be fine."

Uncle Jian snorted angrily.

"If anything happens to Rongrong, I'll hold you responsible! I'm feeling stiff. I'm going to find Old Bone Dragon to stretch my muscles."

Not many people on the entire continent of Douluo dared to speak to Ning Fengzhi like that.

But this elderly man was clearly one of the few who could.

Though Ning Fengzhi appeared to be in his forties, he was actually over sixty years old.

Ning Rongrong was his youngest child and his only daughter.

...

Back at Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had finally gotten rid of Oscar and made her way back to Yun Feng and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise and asked:

"Rongrong, did you finish your run already?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head and replied directly:

"No, I didn't want to keep running. It's not that I couldn't keep going, but that Oscar is too disgusting. While I was running, he kept following behind me, staring at me with those lecherous eyes, and then he even tried to get me to eat his food."

"It was absolutely revolting!"
