Chapter 53: Heading to Heaven Dou City (Part Two)
In the great hall, silence fell.
Everyone except Zhou Chen was stunned by Flender's words.
Zhu Zhuqing, a Soul Saint?
A Soul Saint, a sage among Soul Masters.
Almost every Soul Saint possesses the strength to dominate armies, and all are renowned in their regions. Yet, nearly all of them are middle-aged or elderly.
According to the records of the Spirit Hall, for ten thousand years, the youngest Soul Saint was the Heaven Dou Luo Tang Hao, who obtained his seventh soul ring and achieved Soul Saint status at thirty-one years old, just entering middle age.
But today, this record might be completely broken, no, shattered to pieces.
A Soul Saint in her teens... At that age, the Heaven Dou Luo probably hadn't even reached level 30 yet.
Everyone silently calculated in their minds. Even if she had started cultivating from the womb, there probably wouldn't have been enough time.
She must have been cultivating since her previous life!
"Sister Zhuqing, are you really a Soul Saint?"
Xiao Wu, standing nearby, widened her beautiful wine-red eyes and said in disbelief.
Although various signs indicated Zhu Zhuqing's strength, Xiao Wu was still unwilling to believe it, as this had already exceeded the limits of her imagination!
In fact, besides Zhou Chen and Flender, who had personally exchanged a palm strike with Zhu Zhuqing, everyone else was filled with doubt.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and whispered softly.
Since Flender had already exposed her, she had nothing more to hide.
Seeing the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing admit it herself, Xiao Wu and Tang San felt their entire worldview shatter.
They had originally thought that Brother Chen was the pinnacle of geniuses, but they never expected there would be someone even greater!
Tang San's mind ran wild, and he suddenly thought of the reason why Zhou Chen had been pursuing Zhu Zhuqing.
Brother Chen must have had sharp eyes, discovering Zhu Zhuqing's formidable strength long ago, intending to live off the beautiful female Soul Saint... And now, he had succeeded.
In the art of living off someone else, I, Tang San, would call you, Brother Chen, the strongest!
As for Ma Hongjun, he was already sweating profusely, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with eyes filled with both shock and fear.
Speaking of which, he had mentioned Zhu Zhuqing while chatting with Oscar just now. Could she have heard them?
Seeing the students looking utterly terrified, Flender took a deep breath and said, trying to appear calm: "Alright, everyone calm down. So what if she's a Soul Saint? It's not like you've never seen one before!"
Hearing this, Tang San and the others calmed down slightly, then all looked speechlessly at Flender.
The one who was most shocked and lost composure just now was clearly you, Dean!
At this moment, Flender's gaze shifted back and forth between Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing. He felt that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Saint-level strength was inseparably related to Zhou Chen.
"Dean Flender, I mentioned earlier that Zhuqing and I need to take leave together. You don't have any objections now, do you?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Flender rolled his eyes. Even if I had objections, I wouldn't dare to say them!
Didn't you see that that little tigress is even stronger than me?
"Alright, I agree."
Flender forced a smile. To change the subject, he immediately waved to Tang San and said, "Come with me. I need to talk to you about Xiaogang... your teacher's affairs."
"Mmm."
Tang San nodded, said a quick farewell to Zhou Chen and the others, and hurriedly followed Flender with large strides into the academy.
"Let's leave too, Zhuqing."
Zhou Chen placed his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, then said affectionately, "You've never been to the Heaven Dou Empire before, right? On this trip to Heaven Dou City, I'll show you the scenic spots and famous landscapes along the way."
"Mmm."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a sweet smile. Traveling with the person you like is the dream of so many girls.
However, she hesitated for a moment, then said considerately, "Traveling is fine, but don't let it delay your time in Heaven Dou City."
"It won't."
Zhou Chen looked directly at Zhu Qing, his eyes filled with a warm smile...
Meanwhile, outside the academy.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong were running laps around the entire village.
"Oscar, just how long is one lap?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Ning Rongrong's voice. She truly hadn't expected a single lap to be so long.
If she had known, she wouldn't have been so stubborn.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Oscar smiled wryly, "Don't ask. Anyway, with your physical fitness, you definitely can't finish it. But don't you worry, my sausage can help you replenish your stamina. Want some?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips. With her shrewdness, she could naturally see that Oscar was trying to curry favor and pursue her.
But what kind of person dares to pursue me?
Are you as handsome as Brother Zhou Chen? Are you as strong as Brother Zhou Chen? Are you as smart and capable as Brother Zhou Chen?
Thinking this, Ning Rongrong gave Oscar a look of disdain, but the single dog Oscar mistook it for a flirtatious glance thrown his way.
Oscar, who mistakenly thought Ning Rongrong had a good impression of him, immediately said as if presenting a treasure, "I have a big sausage."
With a flash of light, a fragrant sausage appeared in his hand, which he offered to Ning Rongrong.
Seeing the sausage offered before her, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt nauseous. She sneered coldly and said, "I have two big buns myself, now get lost!"
With that, she summoned her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, used it to boost her stamina and speed, and her figure shot out like a gust of wind.
Hearing Ning Rongrong speak this way, Oscar was completely stunned.
He never expected that a goddess with such an elegant temperament as Ning Rongrong would actually have such a true nature; she was practically a little demoness.
With a bitter smile, Oscar chased after her again, continuing to try and talk to Ning Rongrong. A simp was exactly what he was.
Little did he know, when a goddess has no one in her heart, a simp who grovels desperately might still have a chance of success.
But since Ning Rongrong already had Zhou Chen as her target, Oscar the simp was doomed to a bad end...
