Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 166 I believe you
"If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have waited until now." Xiao Wu stared at Tang Hao and said, "But you didn't. Not only did you not kill me immediately, you also brought me to human society. What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Tang Hao sneered, looking at Xiao Wu, and said teasingly: "From a spirit master's perspective, I should keep you captive, wait until I no longer need you, then kill you directly, and then absorb your spirit ring and spirit bone."

"But I didn't do that because you are still useful, so I had to keep your life."

"Little rabbit, if you know what's good for you, you'd better not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. I will always watch you in the dark. Sometimes, you should also understand that only by using the value of others can you survive on this value."

"When the day comes that I no longer need this value, you can die, understand?"

After saying this, Tang Hao disappeared from Xiao Wu's sight without looking back.

“No, I can’t just sit there and wait to die. At least, I have to think of a way to save myself.” As Tang Hao left, Xiao Wu also realized how dangerous her current situation was. Only by finding a way to save her own life would she have a chance to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tiandou City, Seven Star Academy.

As soon as a faint fish belly white light rose in the sky, Cheng Xiao, who had woken up early, had already completed his morning weight training.

Looking at Cheng Xiao who was drinking water in big gulps without caring about his image at all, Ye Lingling, who was sitting on the bluestone with him, was holding her cheek and looking at the young man who had completed a lot of training.

Now, more than a week has passed since the opening of the Seven Star Academy. With the help of the royal family, the Seven Star Academy has recruited quite a few students. At this time, there is less than half a year left before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, and everyone is seizing the time to practice.

Of course, in order to become stronger, Yu Tianheng and others who participated in the competition also chose to join Cheng Xiao's training. However, at this moment, they were still wearing iron armor with a weight of 50 kilograms and completing a 10-kilometer running training.

If they were simply asked to run ten kilometers, it would be too easy for them at this stage. However, if they used soul power, it would not be physical training. Therefore, Dugu Bo kindly helped everyone block the soul power in their bodies. Now, they are running relying on willpower, and they are no longer as leisurely as before.

Because it’s really tiring.

After replenishing water, Cheng Xiao sat down next to Ye Lingling, who handed him a towel to wipe his sweat.

"No wonder you are so much stronger than us. This kind of training that blocks soul power and trains the body must be very tiring, right?" Ye Lingling said gently while wiping Cheng Xiao's sweat.

"It's okay. I won't feel tired once I get used to it." Cheng Xiao smiled. For him, physical training has long been integrated into daily life, so when facing these trainings again, he will not feel tired, but relaxed.

After all, every time he was as tired as a dog, as long as he had a good sleep, his body would recover to its peak condition, including the mental fatigue.

If there was a system panel to observe my daily training and how much progress I have made, wouldn't it be so easy to succeed?

"Hmm." Hearing Cheng Xiao's words, Ye Lingling snorted and asked, "Have the contestants been decided?"

"It's settled." Cheng Xiao said.

"That Ning Rongrong will also participate, right? I haven't thanked her properly for helping me last time. I didn't expect that she would become my teammate this time." Ye Lingling was talking about the battle between Huang Dou and Shrek. Ning Rongrong couldn't bear to see her, an auxiliary soul master, being targeted, so she specially used the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower to enhance her strength. Because of this, Ye Lingling had a deep impression of her.

"There will always be a chance." Cheng Xiao smiled, looked up at his teammates who had just completed the weight training and were as tired as dogs, lying on the ground and not wanting to move. He couldn't help laughing.

"They persevered, that's great." Ye Lingling smiled.

"Yes, you should treat them, otherwise, they really won't be able to get up." Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "I'll go back and take a shower first, and see you in the cafeteria later."

"Yeah." Ye Lingling nodded slightly and said with a smile, "See you in the cafeteria later."

…………

"Oh shit, Boss, is Cheng Xiao's training volume really something a human can accomplish?"

"Yufeng, could you please stop barking? Haven't you finished it?"

"Damn, Osro, do you know what exaggeration is? Don't you have any sense of humor?" Osro looked at Yufeng who was eating steamed buns and drinking meat porridge, and shook his head in disdain. This guy must have been trained to be stupid.

"By the way, Boss, should we ask Ning Rongrong to come and eat with us?" Osro glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was sitting alone at the next table and looked a little frail, and asked Yu Tianheng.

"No need, someone will have dinner with her later." Yu Tianheng said without raising his head. At this moment, his attention was all on the meat porridge and steamed buns in front of him. He was so tired that he had never felt that steamed buns and meat porridge were so delicious in his life.

"Uh..." Oslo scratched his head in confusion. When he looked at Ning Rongrong again, there were three more people beside her.

These three people were none other than Cheng Xiao, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

"Well, I thought she wouldn't fit in with us so quickly." Shaking his head, Osro began to concentrate on eating.

Ning Rongrong's table.

Looking at the three people who suddenly sat down, Ning Rongrong was slightly stunned, then lowered her head nervously.

Seeing Ning Rongrong lower her head, Cheng Xiao smiled and teased, "Why? Our Miss Ning is actually nervous?"

Ye Lingling on the side said at this time: "Rongrong, welcome to join our team, and thank you for helping me at that time."

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong raised her head and looked at Ye Lingling in surprise, and asked, "It's you?"

"I remember you were wearing a veil. No wonder I didn't see you when I came. It turns out you took it off."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling smiled, glanced at her teammates who were eating like crazy on the opposite side, and chuckled, "Yes, I don't need a veil anymore now."

"I really envy the atmosphere between you two." Ning Rongrong said sincerely.

"Don't be envious, you will be one of us from now on." Dugu Yan smiled at Ning Rongrong, then glanced at someone who was eating and said, "Didn't you say you had a gift for Ning Rongrong? Give it to her now."

"A gift? For me?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, before she could say anything, Ye Lingling said gently: "Take it, Rongrong. This gift may help your martial spirit break through its limitations."

"Break through... the limitations of the martial soul?" Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded. She had never heard of anything that could allow a person's martial soul to break through the limitations. Could it be some kind of panacea?
"Here, this is Qiluo Tulip. I will tell you how to take it later. After you go back, you can take it according to the instructions. Then, you will have unexpected surprises." There were very few people in the cafeteria at this time. Apart from Yu Tianheng and others who were eating, there were only Cheng Xiao and others.

Looking at the strange magic herb in front of her, Ning Rongrong was a little surprised. She had never seen such a magical magic herb before, and for a moment she didn't know how to start.

"No need to say thank you. Also, welcome to join the Seven Star Academy." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Ning Rongrong took it carefully, and "Qiluo Tulip" took a deep sniff of its fragrance. She giggled and said, "Then I'll go back and absorb it first. See you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong left the cafeteria with Qiluo Tulip.

"Someone is really generous. He gave me my grandfather's magic herb as a gift right after we met." Dugu Yan glanced at Cheng Xiao and snorted.

"Yan Zi, you can't blame Cheng Xiao for this. He is also responsible for the team." Ye Lingling said with a smile.

"You, you really can't be kept at home when you grow up." Dugu Yan covered her forehead helplessly and said to Cheng Xiao: "Since that flower can help people break through the limitations of their martial spirits, why don't you let Lingling take it? Her martial spirit also has limitations."

"I know, but I can't let Lingling take it." Cheng Xiao shook his head and explained, "I understand the effect of this flower, but I only know that after a soul master with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit takes it, he will break through to the Ninth Pagoda, but I don't know what effect will appear after Lingling takes it."

"If it's good, it's still okay, but what if there is a counter-effect?"

"I can't take this risk. Besides, even if there is no solution now, it doesn't mean there won't be a solution in the future. When the time comes, I will find a way to help Lingling solve this problem."

Listening to Cheng Xiao's serious words, Ye Lingling smiled and then said softly: "I believe you."
