Chapter 60
Ning Rong Rong gave him a long look and then gazed at Ning Feng, who was easily running ahead. Then she turned away, and Oscar shrugged his shoulders; well, it was not like the training had officially started yet. Ning Feng fell back to him and shook her head. "L-Leave her b-be, " she told him and shrugged her shoulders. "S-Spoiled P-princess."
Oscar grinned at her. "Maybe, but I am sure she knows how important running and having a good physical constitution is for supporters. I mean, she is a member of the biggest supporter clan around."
Ning Feng shook her head, doubting that Ning Rong Rong was aware. Tang Yin instead observed the girl and entirely agreed with Ning Feng Spoiled Princess. But who cared?
"First up the hill, has to buy the others breakfast." She announced, and suddenly, the atmosphere turned slightly serious, and Oscar sped up. Ha, we will see. I am not the last; I am the running master of Shrek!" He announced proudly. Tang Yin grinned at him while Jiang let out an amused snort.
"Well, Ning Feng was the running master of Nuoding Academy." She told him, and he nodded that he believed any day, considering how light-footed the tall, short-haired girl in front of him was while running with weights, but he had the honor to defend and sped up.
"We will see!" he announced proudly and dashed ahead. Ning Feng sped up while Tnag Yin and Jiang also picked up speed to follow them and keep up. Oscar quickly spotted his followers, surprised by their speed, and then put in more strength; he wasn't about to lose any time soon. Then he noted how Ning Feng's movements got smoother, and her legs suddenly ate up the space between them. Right behind her was Tang Yin, whose eyes were hazy and as if she had shut down her mind. Both were breathing in the same rhythmical method, and he knew he didn't have the luxury of taking this lightly.
Instead, he sped up as well.

Not too far from them, Flender observed the children running while Zhao Wuji, next to him, sporting some rather ominous-looking bruises, joined in.
"They are good." He said, and Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.
"Monsters indeed. Had I known who the Tang Twins are, I would have been more careful." He whined, and Flender next to him flinched. Indeed. But those two were not the only ones they needed to keep an eye out for. His gaze wandered to the little Princess.
Heiress of the seven treasured glass. Then he looked at the other girl with the same spirit. One was previously training, and the other was spoiled. One had certainly more talent, while the other was a hard worker for all he could see.
"We also have to pay attention to the two Ning Girls." He told Zhao Wuji. "Ning Fengshi will not allow his daughter to come to harm."
"Ahh, and here I was trying to forget that..damn you seeing that. Are they serious?" Zhao Wuji said and watched how Ning Feng came narrowly close, followed tightly by Tang Yin and Jiang, with Oscar only losing by a hair's breadth.
Ning Feng made a weird gesture with both her hands, announcing she had won. Oscar groaned, knowing he had to pay for breakfast. The others assaulted him and asked him where the best place was as he led them to their small cantine. Tang Yin was obviously in front, while Jiang stuck close to her, and then his gaze wandered up to them.
"Did he see us?" Flender said, excitement in his voice.
"I think so." Zhao Wuji said, then rose, letting out a painful winch due to pain.
"How many rings does he have again?" Flender asked, and Zhao Wuji tried to remember his spirit power.
"Well, I saw two, but he is level 32, so he has three like the Tang Girl," Wuji said, and Flender nodded. "She was level 35, right?"
"Yes. Talented girl, but if you ask me, her brother is scarier despite having lower spirit power."
"How come?" Flender asked him, and Zhao Wuji shrugged.
"The fact, he is a living poncurbine. I mean, did you see that amount of weaponry? He is the kind that stabs you in the back when you are not watching. "His sister is more the kind that straight up punches you into the face." Zhao Wuji explained. "That being said he is the grandmasters student, that guy wouldn't chose the boy if he wasn't a monster."
"Well, I cannot deny that. The Grandmaster would never take anything less as his student. Did you know he also taught the sister and the older of the Feng Girls?"
"Well, that explains why those girls are such darn mutants," Zhao Wuji said. The two of them retreated, continuing their discussion and shifting to what they should teach the children next, when a pillar of fire came from the village. Flender sighed. "It appears Ma Hongjun is causing trouble again."
"God, that boy." Zhao Wuji groaned. "This time, he can deal with it himself."
