Chapter 37: None of You Are Suitable
"Xiao Wu, are you okay?"
As soon as Su Mo and Xiao Wu stepped out, Tang San hurried to Xiao Wu's side.
Even though he didn’t see her get injured, Tang San still wanted to make sure.
"I'm fine, I just lost to Su Mo!"
Xiao Wu shook her head. Losing to Su Mo left her feeling a bit frustrated.
Back at Nuoding Academy, she used to think that only Tang San was truly outstanding, while everyone else was just mediocre.
But today, she unexpectedly lost to Su Mo.
"As long as you're okay!"
"It's my turn now, I need to go down for the match!"
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Now wasn't the time to comfort Xiao Wu, so he affectionately patted her on the head.
"Mhm, go quickly, Brother San!"
Feeling Tang San's gentle head pat, Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly, and all her frustration immediately faded away.
Soon after, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Soul Arena.
Both of them summoned their martial spirits, getting ready for battle.
When Zhu Zhuqing entered her battle stance, her explosive figure was fully highlighted, leaving nothing to the imagination.
"Wow, Zhu Zhuqing... tsk, tsk..."
Ma Hongjun couldn’t help clicking his tongue in admiration as he saw Zhu Zhuqing. Her stunning figure took him by surprise.
But before Ma Hongjun could voice his praise, a cold gaze swept over him.
Seeing it was Dai Mubai's glare, Ma Hongjun instantly shrank back, too scared to say anything more.
At the same time, he realized that Zhu Zhuqing was someone Dai Mubai had set his eyes on.
Ma Hongjun then glanced at Xiao Wu, noticing how her gaze never left Tang San on the battlefield. He sighed inwardly, knowing he had no chance with her either.
Then he thought of Ning Rongrong and sighed again. Ning Rongrong had already caught Oscar's attention, and he knew well enough that he couldn’t compete.
Next, Ma Hongjun looked at Su Mo, wondering if he might end up competing with Oscar for Ning Rongrong's affections.
"Su Mo, do you fancy any of the girls in our academy?"
Ma Hongjun snuck over to Su Mo, curiosity driving him to ask. He was also trying to gather some information for his good brother Oscar.
"Women would only slow me down."
Su Mo glanced at Ma Hongjun and responded.
"Impressive! That’s why even Boss Dai couldn’t beat you!"
Hearing Su Mo's words, Ma Hongjun was instantly awestruck. With nothing but cultivation on his mind, no wonder Su Mo was able to defeat Dai Mubai.
"Well, at least Oscar can rest easy now. No one’s going to compete with him for Ning Rongrong!"
Ma Hongjun slyly added, revealing that Oscar was interested in Ning Rongrong, hoping to dissuade Su Mo completely.
"You're talking about Oscar? He's not suitable for Ning Rongrong. You should advise him to give up."
Su Mo finally understood Ma Hongjun's intentions and smiled faintly as he spoke.
"Why?"
Ma Hongjun was taken aback, not understanding why Su Mo said that.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has an ancestral rule. The members of the clan must choose battle soul masters as their partners. This applies to everyone in the clan, let alone the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
"So, Fatty, it’s better to let Oscar face reality and stop dreaming."
Su Mo explained calmly.
"What... the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has such a rule?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned, and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for his brother Oscar.
"If Oscar doesn’t stand a chance, does that mean I have a shot?"
Ma Hongjun’s heart stirred. Previously, he hesitated to compete with Oscar, but if Oscar had no hope, then Ma Hongjun wasn’t going to hold back.
Even though he didn’t think Ning Rongrong would fancy him, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Are you planning to go for it yourself?"
"If you don’t want to die, I suggest you drop that idea quickly."
Su Mo immediately saw through Ma Hongjun’s thoughts and poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Why?"
Ma Hongjun looked at Su Mo, puzzled.
Oscar is a support-type soul master with no chance, but I’m a battle soul master!
"Why don’t you solve the flaw in your martial spirit first? Otherwise, one Ning Rongrong wouldn't be enough for you."
"If you really manage to woo Ning Rongrong, do you think you’ll still be able to go out and vent your excess energy?"
Su Mo kindly reminded Ma Hongjun.
"Uh..."
Hearing Su Mo’s reminder, Ma Hongjun was speechless.
Thinking about his own situation, Ma Hongjun realized that Su Mo was right. If he didn’t want to be consumed by his own lustful urges, he’d have to betray Ning Rongrong and seek other outlets.
But if he dared betray Ning Rongrong, just thinking about the power behind her made Ma Hongjun shiver.
"Forget it, my life is more important. Good thing you reminded me!"
*"Before I fix the flaw in my martial spirit, I don't deserve to have love!"*
Ma Hongjun immediately gave up on the idea. After thanking Su Mo for the reminder, he felt a wave of sadness over his own problem.
The girl he broke up with yesterday, Cuihua, couldn't bear the flaw in his martial spirit and couldn’t handle his uncontrollable lust.
"You're lucky, you know? There are plenty of men who would kill for your... 'ability.'"
Su Mo patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, giving him an awkward form of comfort.
Ma Hongjun's martial spirit flaw was something that many men would envy. What do men want the most? Infinite stamina for those long-lasting "battles," of course!
"Haha, true..."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Ma Hongjun scratched his head and burst into a proud laugh.
At this point, the match in the Soul Arena between Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing had quickly reached its conclusion.
Within the cage of Blue Silver Grass created by Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t escape his control and was ultimately restrained.
In the end, Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to concede defeat.
After Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing's match ended, it was time for Tang San and Xiao Wu’s "Three-Five" duo to take the stage.
Su Mo and the others could only wait for Tang San and Xiao Wu to finish before they could head back.
"Su Mo, why don’t we form a two-man team? What do you think?"
"With our strength, no one at the Great Soul Master level could stand a chance against us! We could become Silver Fighters in no time!"
As they continued watching the matches, Ma Hongjun suddenly proposed the idea of teaming up with Su Mo.
"No need to team up. I can reach Silver rank just as quickly on my own."
Su Mo gave a confident smile, politely declining Ma Hongjun's offer.
"Alright, two guys forming a team does seem kind of lame."
Ma Hongjun had no choice but to abandon the idea of latching onto Su Mo's strength.
While Su Mo and Ma Hongjun were chatting, Tang San and Xiao Wu’s "Three-Five" duo swiftly secured their first victory in the duo matches.
In the Soul Arena, each person was allowed only one match per day unless they were in a team. So, after Tang San and Xiao Wu’s victory, the group prepared to return to Shrek Academy.
Flander had disappeared somewhere, so Su Mo and the others had to make their way back on their own.
"Boss Dai, Tang San, Su Mo, it’s still early. How about we go unwind for a bit?"
After leaving the Soto City Soul Arena, Ma Hongjun flashed a mischievous grin and suggested to Su Mo and the others.
"Unwind? What kind of unwinding? Why didn’t you invite me and Zhu Zhuqing?"
Xiao Wu looked puzzled.
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, don’t ask. I won’t be going. You guys go ahead."
Tang San quickly pulled Xiao Wu aside and turned to Ma Hongjun.
"Boss Dai?"
Ma Hongjun then looked at Dai Mubai.
"Ahem, I won’t be going either. I don’t have such... questionable tastes!"
Dai Mubai, noticing Zhu Zhuqing’s cold gaze, quickly declined, emphasizing his higher standards. He subtly implied that he hadn’t indulged in such things in the past either.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn’t believe a word of it. On their first day in Soto City, she had witnessed Dai Mubai with a pair of twin sisters.
"Disgusting!"
Zhu Zhuqing shot Dai Mubai a frosty look and immediately turned to leave.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you—"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing’s attitude, Dai Mubai instantly grew furious, almost losing his temper. For the past two days, he had been trying to find an opportunity to talk to her, but she either avoided him or ignored him altogether. The excitement he felt when she first arrived had long since turned into frustration and anger, and now it had reached its boiling point.
"Wait for us, Zhu Zhuqing!"
Xiao Wu called out to Zhu Zhuqing and quickly chased after her. Tang San had quietly explained what Ma Hongjun meant by "unwinding," and she wanted to get away as soon as possible.
Of course, she made sure to drag Tang San along with her.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Ma Hongjun only realized afterward that he had probably stirred up some trouble.
"I’m heading back too, Fatty. You can go by yourself."
Su Mo chuckled silently and left as well.
There seemed to be some drama unfolding back at the academy!
The amusing spectacle of Shrek collectively ganging up on Ning Rongrong.
"After Tang San and the others gang up on Ning Rongrong, I’ll step in. Can’t let her get too crushed."
