Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 20, The Emperor's New Clothes

Hearing Meng Bei say this, Shrek Academy's morale was immediately boosted, and they were all filled with confidence for the battle against the Royal Fighting Team.

After all, if even the captain, Yu Tianheng, was so easily defeated by Xiao Bei, wouldn't the rest of the Royal Fighting Team be even weaker?

Xiao Bei alone is enough to defeat the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, and besides Xiao Bei, they also have two geniuses, Dai Mubai and Tang San, who are no weaker than Xiao Bei.

If that's the case, wouldn't they easily crush the Royal Fighting Team?

The members of Shrek Academy thought so.

In their eyes, Meng Bei was strong, but not ridiculously so.

Meng Bei's third soul skill excels at long-range attacks and is surprisingly difficult to execute, but close combat is Meng Bei's weakness.

Tang San and Dai Mubai, when they go all out, can be compared to Meng Bei.

In fact, Meng Bei's martial soul evolution was a comprehensive one; his melee attack ability was in no way weaker than his ranged attack ability.

The reason why the Shrek Academy students had the misconception that Meng Bei was not good at close combat was twofold: firstly, Meng Bei had not seriously sparred with everyone in normal times; secondly, Meng Bei deliberately concealed the fact that he was physically strong, and so far he had never used his full strength in close combat.

Well, except when I'm fighting with Xiao Wu at night.

In short, Meng Bei's strength was seriously underestimated by everyone.

This indirectly led them to underestimate Yu Tianheng's strength.

This is something Meng Bei is happy to see happen.

Only if Yu Tianheng's strength is underestimated will the Shrek Academy students feel at ease accepting the Soul Battle match against the Royal Fighting Team.

Only in this way can he have a chance to complete the system task.

Isn't he a little too bad?

It seems not.

After all, what he said was true. Yu Tianheng really couldn't withstand his two freezing beams, and if Tang San used his hidden weapons at full strength, he could easily defeat Yu Tianheng.

So you see, he was telling the truth.

It was the Shrek Academy students who misunderstood; it was definitely not him who misled them.

Moreover, on the other hand, as the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."

After suffering this loss, the Shrek Academy students will definitely not dare to underestimate other opponents next time. Isn't this increase in wisdom also thanks to Meng Bei?

Thinking about it this way, Meng Bei felt even more that he had not done anything wrong, but was actually indebted to Shrek.

Soon, the meeting ended, and Dean Flander waved his hand, deciding to accept the Soul Fighting match against the Royal Fighting Team.

Furthermore, to ensure fairness in the competition, he strictly prohibited members of Shrek Academy from communicating with the Royal Fighting Team during this period, because he was afraid that Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, would go easy on him after knowing that his opponent was him.

After the meeting, Zhu Zhuqing came to Meng Bei for special training.

This was a small discovery that the two of them made unintentionally during a two-person battle in the Soul Arena.

Meng Bei has a second soul skill called Frozen Wind. When used, it can unleash a fierce cold wind across the entire field, which can interfere with, slow down, freeze, and enhance the power of ice-attribute soul skills.

As the number of times the two fought together increased, Zhu Zhuqing found that her speed improved significantly after fighting in the freezing wind.

This rate of improvement far exceeded her usual training results.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing often came to Meng Bei to use the freezing wind to train her speed.

However, this time, he is likely to disappoint Zhu Zhuqing.

"I'm sorry, Sister Zhuqing, I already promised to spend time with Rongrong today..."

As they were talking, Rongrong ran over and took Meng Bei's hand in hers.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them with some shock upon seeing this.

"You...you wouldn't...?"

"We're together now!"

Ning Rongrong smiled with her eyebrows curved, and took Meng Bei's arm high, as if to assert her dominance.

Ning Rongrong was very wary of Zhu Zhuqing.

As the youngest of the Seven Devils, Zhu Zhuqing's development far surpasses that of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. In addition, Zhu Zhuqing has always teamed up with Meng Bei and the two train together. This very close relationship inevitably makes Ning Rongrong feel a sense of crisis.

Zhu Zhuqing herself didn't think that much about it.

She was mostly just surprised.

After all, Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong seemed to have had a falling out not long ago, and now the two of them have suddenly gotten together without anyone noticing, which is really hard to understand.

However, seeing the two of them so sweet together, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She envied their relationship.

Moreover, compared to Dai Mubai, Meng Bei seems to be superior in both appearance and strength.

However, for Zhu Zhuqing at present, the struggles within the royal family are always pressing on her mind, which makes her focus more on cultivation and improving her strength. Romantic love is not something she can hope for at the moment.

After learning that Meng Bei didn't have time to train with her today, Zhu Zhuqing went to the training ground alone.

Every minute of her time is precious; ability is the most valuable thing to her.

Today can be considered a date for Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong.

The original plan was to go to the city for a date, but plans don't always go as expected. After the two left Shrek Academy, a gentle breeze suddenly rose in the fields.

Leaves fluttered in the air, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently.

Ning Rongrong immediately decided not to go to the city, but instead to fly kites in the countryside.

Since the two had not prepared kites in advance and were too lazy to go to the city to buy them, they went to borrow kites from other students at Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai never flies kites.

Zhu Zhuqing is still training.

Xiao Wu didn't have a kite, but she had a long scorpion braid, so Meng Bei decided that he could use her as a kite at night.

Tang San didn't have a kite either, so he suggested creating a flying hidden weapon that could glide with the wind and release hidden weapons to kill enemies.

Meng Bei naturally rejected this idea.

He and Ning Rongrong went to fly kites in the fields, not to sweep the fields.

Finally, the two found Oscar and managed to borrow the kite.

An old kite.

Oscar rummaged through his belongings and lent it to the two of them.

Oscar looked at Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong with a complicated expression, but seeing Ning Rongrong's happy face, he couldn't say anything and could only silently lend the kite to the two of them.

After getting the kite, the two naturally took it to the field to fly it.

The kite rose with the wind.

People laughed and danced with the kite.

They run, chase, and when they get tired, they lie down on the field to rest.

Ning Rongrong nestled happily in Meng Bei's arms, not minding that her expensive pleated skirt was covered in mud.

Meng Bei gently placed his hand over to straighten her skirt.

There were no other thoughts, because Ning Rongrong was wearing leggings.

This is a reward from the system.

Advanced soul tools, the emperor's new clothes.

This is a multi-functional defensive soul tool, consisting of several pieces that make up the entire body. They look just like ordinary clothes, but they also possess powerful defensive capabilities.

In addition, this garment has a magical property.
