  Bai Chenxiang stuck out her tongue at the immensely self satisfied Ma Hongjun, disdainfully saying:

  “Since you like showing off, go make up a sideshow.”

  Ma Hongjun couldn’t help himself,

  “Xiangxiang, don’t always needle me, alright? We’re training here, raising our strength, if you’re dissatisfied with me, why not wait until after getting back home?”

  Bai Chenxiang’s eyes opened wide,

  “Damn Fatty, you’ve even learned to argue? I’ve told you so many times, don’t call me Xiangxiang. Also. what are you talking about back home? Are we family?”

  Ning Rongrong whispered by Oscar’s ear:

  “Fatty’s really met his nemesis this time. This girl Xiangxiang’s little mouth really is sharp!”

  Oscar lowered his voice:

  “What do you think about Xiangxiang? Does Fatty have a chance?”

  Ning Rongrong said:

  “I don’t know if he does, it depends on Fatty’s own ability. Back when we just met, how could we know we would be together? However, I can be sure that Xiangxiang is very kind hearted. Even if she’s a bit wilful, she’s a lot better than I was.”

  Oscar grinned,

  “Yeah! How can she compare to you? Back then you were the little she-devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even Title Douluo like grandpa Gu and grandpa Sword were a bit afraid of you.”

  Ning Rongrong gave him a rebuking glare, lightly pinching the soft meat at his waist,

  “You villain, keep teasing me and I’ll……”

  Oscar lightly raised a hand to touch Ning Rongrong’s tender face,

  “You’ll what?”

  Ning Rongrong blushed, and in her shyness didn’t think it through, blurting out:

  “I won’t let you touch.”

  Once she said it, she became aware that she’d misspoken, and her charming face instantly grew crimson. Oscar, joyfully satisfied, laughed loudly,

  “I’m so afraid.”

  “You……”

  Ning Rongrong raised her foot to kick Oscar’s butt just like Bai Chenxiang did to Ma Hongjun, but that vulgar fellow Oscar deliberately stuck his butt out, his beak spouting,

  “So pleasurable, so pleasurable.”

  Even if Ning Rongrong was angry, she still couldn’t help laughing.

  Bai Chenxiang stood off to the side glaring wide eyed at them. Ma Hongjun had at some point already snuck over next to her, saying in a low voice:

  “Have you ever seen such a vulgar, lowly fellow?”

  Bai Chenxiang subconsciously nodded, and Ma Hongjun hastily said:

  “Among us Shrek Seven Devils, in terms of moral quality, my third brother is undoubtedly number one. However, I’m not far behind third brother either. We’re both good men with single-minded devotion. Even if little Ao is a bit lowly, his moral standing is still very good. You don’t know all that happened between him and Rongrong. The stories within can be considered winding and strange. Later, I’ll tell you the stories about us Shrek Seven Devils back then.”

  “Fine!”

  Bai Chenxiang subconsciously agreed. She had also heard a lot of stories about the Shrek Seven Devils from the side, especially since coming to Shrek Academy. When the students here looked at Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong and the others, the respect in their eyes couldn’t be concealed. Even the teachers here were polite to them. Bai Chenxiang had also heard about the Shrek Seven Devils defeating all the great academies back then, finally becoming the undisputed Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament champions. But her knowledge was only superficial.

  When Ma Hongjun saw Bai Chenxiang agree, he couldn’t help getting beside himself with joy,

  “Then tonight I’ll come to your room, and tell you some old stories.”

  “To my room?”

  Bai Chenxiang reacted now, slowly turning her head, looking at the very close to her, already showing signs of drooling, Ma Hongjun.

  She smiled a beautiful smile, immediately as if a hundred flowers bloomed, and Ma Hongjun couldn’t help being somewhat stunned.

  “Stinking rogue, damn lecher. In your dreams.”

  Abruptly exploding, Bai Chenxiang suddenly pinched Ma Hongjun’s ear, forcefully twisting it one hundred eighty degrees. The aching Ma Hongjun screamed, the beautiful thoughts in his heart dashed to pieces.

  Oscar pulled Ning Rongrong close, sighing softly,

  “It seems Grandmaster’s proposal was correct. The pressure we currently face is too little. With everyone together we can all be happy each day, but without pressure, our cultivation momentum is also substantially less than before. Ever since returning to see you, honestly speaking, my mind hasn’t been on cultivating, only thinking about accompanying you, being by your side, nothing more important.”

  Ning Rongrong nodded, saying:

  “Me too. I hope that in our trip to Sea God Island this time, we can accelerate our growth under the pressure.”

  Oscar smiled slightly, saying:

  “Actually, I know you wish even more for our current life. But, you’re the future Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School successor. I will do my utmost to help share your burdens. Moreover, this time us Shrek Seven Devils can also finally meet again. With everyone together, our cultivation will be happy no matter what pressure we face. We can all trust our backs to our comrades. That’s a lot happier than my time in the north.”

  Ning Rongrong giggled, saying:

  “Yeah, we can be together again. Such a feeling really is good. Having gone through so much wind and rain, we’ve all grown up.”

  “Oh! Rongrong’s grown up, haha. Little Ao, you lowly person, even you’re ready to come back! Do you know how many tears Rongrong’s shed for you?”

  Oscar had just turned around when he was embraced by a majestic person. Of course, it was just an enthusiastic hug, but that force alone was enough to make his bones creak.

  “Boss Dai, can’t you be a bit gentler?”

  Oscar looked with a wry smile at Dai Mubai who had already let go.

  Four eyes met, and the two couldn’t help smiling. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, the first to meet were these two and Ma Hongjun. When they had gone flirting and chasing girls in those days, these two fellows had cooperated a lot. They just had different styles.

  Dai Mubai forcefully clapped Oscar’s shoulder,

  “It’s good that you came back alive. Haha, you’re disfigured. Very good, I’m finally more handsome than you.”

  Oscar snorted,

  “Even then you’re still not the most handsome, don’t forget about little San.”

  Dai Mubai grinned:

  “Who would compete with someone inhuman? I’m satisfied being more handsome than you.”

  Zhu Zhuqing said a few sentences in a low voice next to Ning Rongrong’s ear, and Ning Rongrong’s face immediately turned crimson again, furtively glancing at Oscar, than softly nodding to Zhu Zhuqing.

  Bai Chenxiang looked somewhat curiously at them. Even an outsider like her could feel the strong brotherly bonds in the simple exchange between Dai Mubai and Oscar.

  Ma Hongjun said:

  “This fellow in need of glasses is the boss of our Shrek Seven Devils, Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai. That beauty is the youngest among us, Hell Civet Zhu Zhuqing. Among us seven, boss Dai’s strength is second only to third brother. Only, if it’s him and Zhuqing together, even third brother would be a bit inferior.”

  “Damn Fatty, who did you say has eye problems?”

  [1] Sister Rongrong - Chenxiang adresses Rongrong as (荣荣姐) an older sister.

  Chapter 200: Reunion, Shrek Seven Devils

  Dai Mubai’s hearing was very good, and with a shift of his feet he was already in front of Ma Hongjun. Looking at the delicate and pretty Bai Chenxiang next to him, he said in disbelief, “Fatty, your eyes are pretty good! From where…...” At this point, his mouth had already been covered by Ma Hongjun and he was dragged aside violently
.

  Seeing the imploring light in Fatty’s eyes, Dai Mubai couldn’t help getting more doubtful. He was originally going to say his eyes were good and ask from which place had he brought this girl here. With Ma Hongjun’s understanding of him, how could he let him to speak out about this?

  Oscar and Ning Rongrong were snickering aside, and Ning Rongrong was explaining the relationship between Fatty and Bai Chengxiang to Zhu Zhuqing in a whisper.

  Ma Hongjun compressed his voice into a thread anxiously, and said to Dai Mubai, ”Boss Dai, show mercy with your words. Your brother is serious this time. This girl is third brother’s cousin. She and me are pure in mind and body. I’m wooing her. By no means divulge what I did before, or I will be finished.”

  How clever was Dai Mubai, he realized immediately, giving Ma Hongjun a knowing look and saying with laugh, “I was saying where does such a pretty girl come from, and it’s exactly little San’s cousin. Nice to meet you, I’m Dai Mubai.”

  Dai Mubai’s appearance was not very handsome, but his innate evil eyes and temperament endowed him with a special charm, otherwise he couldn’t have wantonly wallowed among flowers without facing a single defeat back then. The intangible imposing manner his body radiated very easily gave people pressure.

  Facing him, Bai Chenxiang wasn’t that casual, but said in somewhat a reserved manner, “Nice to meet you brother Dai, my name is Bai Chengxiang. You can call me Xiangxiang.”

  Ma Hongjun suddenly gave a weird shriek, “Xiangxiang, you’re seeing him for the first time and you allow him to call you Xiangxiang?”

  Bai Chengxiang cast her eyes heavenward, saying, “Brother Dai is my cousin’s older brother, is there anything wrong?”

  Ma Hongjun said sulkily, “Then how about me? Why don’t you allow me to use it?”

  Bai Chengxiang hummed, “Because you are vulgar! That fat as well as a face of lust. Who would speak to you. Brother Dai shows he is a gentleman at a glance, how can he be the same as you?

  “Him? Gentleman?” Ma Hongjun looked wide eyed at Bai Chengxiang, and then at Dai Mubai next to him, suddenly he couldn’t help but feel bitter in his mind. Nevertheless he couldn't say anything. Who asked him to have a criminal record from before? Now he couldn’t offend anyone any more.

  Dai Mubai’s mood was diametrically opposite of Ma Hongjun’s, saying with a laugh, “Worthy of being little San’s cousin. You really can talk. Xiangxiang, you are not wrong. Among us, the most honorable gentleman is exactly me.”

  “Cough cough……” Oscar who was coughing not far away, looked at Dai Mubai with a weird expression, very weird…

  Zhu Zhuqing stood next to Ning Rongrong with a smile, without a single notion of unmasking her man. So many years had gone by, and Dai Mubai was not that Dai Mubai who was young and flighty. She wasn’t that girl who had always felt some resentment and dissatisfaction towards Dai Mubai either.

  Dai Mubai seemed not to care about others’ eyes being on him at all, saying, “Where is Little San? Wasn’t it said we’d go to Sea God Island?”

  Ma Hongjun said, “Third Brother had gone out for several days. It seemed to be some family matters. I expect he’ll return soon.”

  Mentioning Tang San, the smile on Dai Mubai’s face faded gradually, “Just what is going on with Xiao Wu? Grandmaster mentioned this in the letter, but, I still can’t believe why a proper human would separate her body and soul?”

  Hearing Dai Mubai mention this, a strong killing aura suddenly appeared in Ma Hongjun’s eyes, his temperament making a world-shaking change. It was the first time Bai Chenxiang felt something like it from Ma Hongjun. She suddenly felt that the Fatty next to her was becoming dreadful. Especially the pressure from the king of a hundred birds Phoenix spirit, even made her mind tremble, and move aside for half step subconsciously. Now in her eyes, this fatty seemed to have become a lot taller, and wasn’t that laughing and vulgar guy any more.

  “Wasn’t it those bastards of Spirit Hall?” Ma Hongjun said fiercely. Without any need to exaggerate, narrating the truth completely according to the facts was enough to fill the space in front of the cabin with austerity. Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes were even hazy with tears, and only gradually calmed down after being comforted by Ning Rongrong.

  “Spirit—— Hall——.” Dai Mubai roared deeply, immense imposing manner exploding abruptly. The Shrek Seven Devils were already accustomed to him releasing his manner like this, and everyone’s strength was very close, so their reactions were not intense. But Bai Chenxiang could’t stand the pressure of White Tiger that had exploded drastically so close, her face losing color as she retreated, staggering.

  Just the moment when she was to fall down, a stable and thick big hand grabbed her shoulder, a thread of spirit power with a somewhat scorching hot feeling penetrated into her body. Bai Chengxiang’s breath was stabilized suddenly, as if an intangible wall made of raging flames materialized before her body, blocking out the surging momentum of Dai Mubai for her.

  “It’s no use being angry. If you want to fight against Spirit Hall, you need to constantly improve your strength. Only when all of you seven have become a generation of Title Douluo, can it be possible to fight against powers of Spirit Hall.”

  At a calm voice coming far from outside, everyone looked towards the direction of the voice, seeing two men walking over in their direction. The one who was talking, was Grandmaster. By his side, was Sword Douluo Chen Xin with only one arm left.

  “Grandmaster.” Seeing Grandmaster, The Shrek Seven Devils as well as Bai Chenxiang, bowed simultaneously in salute.

  Grandmaster nodded slightly to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, nothing showing on his stiff face, “You have learned about what happened to little San and Xiao Wu. We can call Spirit Hall our common enemy. Over the years, each of you has improved to a different extent, and also gotten more powerful spirit abilities. Before going to Sea God Island, I hope you can complete a run-in process. You have after all parted for so many years, even if your cooperation is still there, if you don’t know each others’ new abilities, you will be unable to cooperate to the greatest possible extent.”

  Everyone nodded simultaneously. To Grandmaster’s instruction, they had been always sincerely convinced.

  Grandmaster’s gaze swept over over everyone from one to another, then said, “The run-in period starts from now on. Even though little San and Xiao Wu aren’t here, you five have gathered. In order to run in well with the fastest speed, you need pressure.”

  Ma Hongjun said with some stammering, “Grandmaster, you, you’re not planning on letting senior Chen Xin be our pressure?” He knew profoundly, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was actually a rank ninety seven peak power! That wasn’t something even ordinary Title Douluo could easily match up to. Especially when Sword Douluo Chen Xin also had the title of the continent’s number one attack Douluo.

  They had all seen Yang Wudi’s attack power, against which even Tang San would get the worst of it. Yang Wudi was merely more than rank eighty, while the Sword Douluo who was similarly famous for attack actually had the mighty of rank ninety seven. The pressure was really a bit big……

  Bai Chenxiang shot a somewhat scornful glance at Fatty, thinking inwardly, so fearful? It’s just in order to train you, not a real enemy. The bit of good impression Fatty helping blocking the pressure for her put forth was dispelled by sheer force by this chance. She didn’t want to believe she would have any feelings towards such a vulgar fatty.

  Grandmaster’s expression grew chill, “You should feel lucky. Being able to invite Senior Sword Douluo to be the pressure of your run-in, can not only enormously accelerate the process, but may also stimulate the growth of your strength one step further, helping you to find where your strength is insufficient.”

  Ning Rongrong giggled, “Grandpa Sword, you have to start off leniently!”

  Sword Douluo’s face turned serious, “I’m your opponent now, Rongrong, I won’t be lenient. Moreover, Oscar, you should remember, if you can’t protect Rongrong well,
then I won’t let her go with you to Sea God Island. Didn’t you say you would have the ability to protect Rongrong after coming back? Today I’m here to inspect it. I hope you weren’t just talking big.”

  Hearing Sword Douluo’s word, the Shrek five devils’ complexions became grave immediately. They could sense deeply, Sword Douluo wasn’t joking, especially to Oscar, on whose face the laughing expression disappeared immediately, a kind of special deep imposing manner spreading out, without saying a word, just nodding towards Sword Douluo silently.

  Grandmaster said to Bai Chengxiang, “Chenxiang, you don’t need to join in run-in, come over to me.”

  “Eh.” Bai Chenxiang replied, somewhat disapproving walking over and standing next to Grandmaster. In her heart she felt a bit resentful, wasn’t it said I would go gain experience together with them? Then why not let me join in the running-in now? Even if my strength is lacking compared to them, it still isn’t that much. No matter what, I’m a four rings spirit Spirit Ancestor, so they look down upon me like that? With my speed, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to protect myself.

  While she thought inwardly, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was already slowly walking forward, while Shrek five devils subconsciously moved back, and very naturally, Ning Rongrong and Oscar were behind; Dai Mubai was in the middle front; Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing on either side. Each of their faces appeared very serious.

  Bai Chenxiang also noticed the difference. She discovered that the moment Sword Douluo stepped ahead for the first pace, the temperament of his whole being changed dramatically. What looked like a very normal old man before, now everything around him seemed to become sharp, even the air grew a bit distorted. Just feeling a trace of sharp sense in this aura, she couldn’t help turning pale.

  Only now did she understand how wrong she was, and why Grandmaster didn’t let her join the running-in before her eyes. Standing behind Sword Douluo, that sharp sense seemed to tear her bodyto pieces, so it could be imagined how terrible the feeling was to stand before him. No matter how fast her speed was, she was afraid that she would only have the destiny of being cut apart by that sharp aura.
