Chapter 78 Master, truly a great master
The night is deep.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were sitting on chairs when Ning Rongrong happened to pass by.
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Dai Mubai.
"Rongrong, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep. I want to go for a walk."
Ning Rongrong turned around and walked up to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, asking, "Where are you two? Why aren't you asleep so late? Are you planning to play around here?"
Wild King, Wild Cannon.
Same meaning.
Normally, Dai Mubai would definitely tease Ning Rongrong, but things are different now.
Dai Mubai stated frankly, "We're not in the mood for that. We're analyzing the daytime match."
Ning Rongrong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Have you had any experiences with this? Tell me about them."
Dai Mubai felt angry when he thought of the sparring session during the day. He clenched his right fist and pounded on the armrest of the chair. He stood up angrily and said, "Today's battle was all wrong, wrong, wrong. It was all Master's fault. If he had taken my and Zhu Qing's advice and let Zhu Qing and I use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and you had wholeheartedly assisted us, even if we couldn't defeat Lin Hao, we could have made him suffer."
Zhu Zhuqing also stood up from her seat and echoed, "Mu Bai is right. Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill has evolved into the Flying Netherworld White Tiger. Rongrong, if you assist us, increasing our soul power, strength, and speed, even if we can't win, we'll at least have a chance to defeat Lin Hao. If Lin Hao loses, we'll still have an honor, not the result we've achieved!"
Filled with resentment, Dai Mubai said, "Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's all the master's fault. The master is truly a great master!"
Ning Rongrong slept with her head down.
She stayed up late at night, thinking about the battles of the day.
She silently agreed with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's assessment, and thinking about the future, asked, "We lost today and are no longer eligible to continue the competition. What are your plans now?"
"Of course we should leave Shrek Academy! Why would we stay by Master's side?" Dai Mubai was still seething with anger. Thinking of Tang San, he added, "Speaking of which, we're not the most unlucky ones. The most unlucky one is Tang San; he actually chose such a person as his teacher!"
"Is there a problem?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Rongrong, can't you see? The master is extremely selfish. Today, in order to prove his own worth and that his theory is correct, he is willing to risk his disciple going mad in order to perform the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique."
"Boss Dai, I admit that Grandmaster bears undeniable responsibility for our defeat today. You don't need to slander Grandmaster like Lin Hao did!"
"Rongrong, I'm not trying to slander you. I'm just stating the facts."
"Boss Dai, you've gone too far. Don't forget, Lin Hao is our opponent; you can't trust what he says!"
"No, only the opponent truly understands the opponent. Thinking back, when we fought against Canghui Academy, facing their Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, Teacher Zhao told me that the dean wanted to concede defeat, but Grandmaster stopped him. Grandmaster said he believed in our strength. At the time, I didn't think much of it when I heard those words. Until now..."
"What's the difference between now and then?" Ning Rongrong had always been puzzled by this question.
Ning Rongrong had trouble falling asleep late at night, a question lingering in her mind that she needed someone to answer.
Dai Mubai replied, "Until today's events occurred, I re-examined Grandmaster's mindset at the time. I'm certain that when we faced the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique from Canghui Academy, Grandmaster's reason for preventing the dean from conceding wasn't because he believed in our strength, but because he wanted to fight to the death, gambling with our lives. Because if we surrendered, he would never have the chance to prove himself in a major competition again!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.
What Dai Mubai said was also what Ning Rongrong was thinking but could not confirm.
However, Ning Rongrong still questioned, "Dai Mubai, aren't you overthinking this?"
Dai Mubai shook his head, saying helplessly, "I hope I'm overthinking it. Zhu Qing shares my opinion. Rongrong, let me ask you a question: if today's Seven-in-One Fusion Technique had Zhu Qing and I as the main fighters, what would the situation be like?"
"Lin Hao alone cannot defeat us." Ning Rongrong answered Dai Mubai without hesitation.
If today on the Soul Arena, the Shrek Seven Devils' seven-in-one fusion skill, combined with their soul power, were to empower Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Flying Netherworld White Tiger—then it would undoubtedly unleash combat power surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Saint.
Lin Hao is a Five-Ring Soul King.
No matter how strong Lin Hao is, he cannot contend with a Seven-Ring Soul Saint.
The power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not simply one plus one equals two, but rather it manifests its power exponentially.
The Flying Netherworld White Tiger, possessing the soul power of a Soul Saint of over seventy levels, is powerful enough to defeat an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint. If Shrek Academy were to assign someone else to control the soul power of the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, Lin Hao would inevitably lose.
Zhu Zhuqing interjected, "Rongrong, why do you think Yu Xiaogang refuses to accept our suggestions?"
Ning Rongrong wasn't stupid either, and she suddenly realized, "Is it because of the secret technique of the alien fusion skill?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "To be honest, Mu Bai and I consulted the master privately before the competition, but he still rejected Mu Bai's suggestion. The Heterogeneous Fusion Technique—I don't know where Yu Xiaogang learned it from. If he were to reveal the technique to others, even just a part of it, someone would threaten his very existence."
Ning Rongrong was shocked and took a step back, exclaiming in a low voice, "So this is what the master is like!"
Dai Mubai said, "Looking back now, his expulsion from the Spirit Hall might have been related to the current Pope, but it was probably more due to Grandmaster's own problems! Compared to us, Tang San suffered the most!"
"A mistress?"
"Yes. Tang San is his student. Tang San was blind to have chosen such a person as his master. Yu Xiaogang is unworthy of being a teacher!"
"cough!"
A cough was heard.
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong looked in the direction of the sound and saw Flander, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang standing there on the dark garden path.
The person who coughed was Flander, reminding Dai Mubai that he was the one who was being reminded.
Liu Erlong stepped forward excitedly and scolded, "Dai Mubai, what do you mean by this? You're blaming Xiao Gang for losing a match? Tell me properly, how has Xiao Gang failed as a teacher? Was his affection for Xiao San genuine?"
Dai Mubai turned to leave.
Liu Erlong wouldn't let Dai Mubai leave. She teleported to his side and shouted, "You're not leaving here until you've explained yourself clearly!"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing into one. Pressed relentlessly by Liu Erlong, he grew angry and said, "If you want me to explain things clearly, then I will."
Even a farmer knows that weeds are incredibly resilient and can withstand wildfires. Their nature is to twine around others; their tenacious vitality is their greatest asset.
"But Yu Xiaogang, in order to prove that his theory of martial soul mimicry was correct, added the attribute of tenacity to Tang San."
"Look at Lin Hao, his martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, but the added attribute is life-type."
"This alone is enough to prove how selfish and self-serving Yu Xiaogang is."
"Yu Xiaogang, you're unworthy of being a teacher!"
"Zhuqing, let's go!"
Dai Mubai took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked past Liu Erlong to leave.
They had only taken a few steps when they reached the fork in the road, and then they froze.
A person was standing on the other side of the road at the fork in the road.
Dai Mubai exclaimed incredulously, "Tang San?!"
Tang San, whose hair had turned white, had overheard everyone's conversation!
