Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 17: The Age Limit of All Soul Rings Breaks a Thousand Years
Another month has passed.

For the past month, the people at Shrek Academy have been much more well-behaved.

Taoyuan Academy has returned to its former harmony.

Wang Sheng goes to bed early and gets up early every day, practicing Tiger Style Fist by guarding the gate of Taoyuan Academy.

Following Su Ran's instructions, Zhu Zhuqing diligently cultivated the Ten Kings of Hell container.

Ning Rongrong consolidated the second layer of the Golden Bell, making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda even more solid, and her Wing Chun skills became increasingly proficient.

However, her thirst for knowledge only grew stronger.

Every day it's not: "Oh, teacher, I can't lift my leg high in Wing Chun, teacher, please help me push my thigh up!"

It's like this: "Waaaaah, Teacher's Seven Treasures Golden Bell Shield training is so rigorous! Is there a quick way to achieve it, like dual cultivation or something? I want to share Teacher's results directly."

She didn't want to inherit Su Ran's unique skills at all; she clearly wanted to incorporate Su Ran's countless descendants into her own body.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, focusing solely on her rigorous training.

I don't know just how beautiful the teacher is, but Senior Sister Rongrong went to great lengths to achieve that.

The two unique skills Zhu Zhuqing learned were both extremely powerful and perfectly suited to her martial spirit.

With Su Ran's guidance, she grasped the basics of the "Crossing the Yellow Springs" movement technique in just half a month, achieving a level of movement that was silent and swift.

The cultivation of the Ten Kings of Hell was much more difficult for her. She hadn't grasped the key to condensing the Ten Kings of Hell in half a month and was completely baffled.

The Ten Kings of Hell are even more difficult to cultivate than Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Golden Bell Shield.

The Seven Treasures Golden Bell Shield is cultivated by using the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, where the two powers are mutually leveraged to generate a powerful defensive force.

The Ten Kings of Hell are almost equivalent to cultivating a second martial soul, except that this second martial soul still relies on the first martial soul to use and serves the first martial soul, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Similarly, this is also what makes the Ten Kings of Hell so terrifying.

In order to help Zhu Zhuqing condense the Ten Kings of Hell container as soon as possible, Su Ran even used the Netherworld Technique to take Zhu Zhuqing into his Ten Kings of Hell for hellish meditation.

In addition to the beast blood and medicinal baths prepared for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing also received the same treatment.

However, this also increased the pressure on teacher Su Ran.

Indeed, you can't just take on any apprentice. Every time you take on an apprentice, the responsibility on your shoulders increases. You can't afford to support them all!
……

Finally, a month later, Zhu Zhuqing awoke from endless darkness and depravity, from raging flames and the netherworld.

The Netherworld Cat, a martial spirit, appeared behind her like a shadow from hell, and a gray, ten-layered Yama Palace, yet to be lit, appeared behind her.

The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul could actually hide within it, constantly darting around in the Gray Palace, as if it had gained sentience.

"I did it, I did it!"

"Teacher, I've created a vessel for the Ten Kings of Hell!"

Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face turned into one of unbridled joy. Her movements were incredibly nimble; instead of taking the courtyard path, she strode across the lotus leaves and koi carp in the pond to the pavilion where Su Ran was resting, and happily shared her joy with Su Ran.

Su Ran smiled slightly, having already discerned that the Tenfold Yama Palace refined by Zhu Zhuqing was small, not very powerful, and even unstable in form, but it had indeed been refined into a rudimentary form, which was already quite remarkable.

With similar aptitude, Ning Rongrong condensed the second layer of the Golden Bell in a month, but Zhu Zhuqing took a month to barely condense the prototype of the tenth layer of the Yama Palace, which shows how difficult it was for her to cultivate.

at the same time:

[Disciple Zhu Zhuqing has condensed the prototype of the Ten Kings of Hell, rewarding him with +200 years to all Soul Rings and the Hellish Hidden Weapon—Ghost Shuttle (with crafting and usage instructions).]

[First Soul Skill: Broken Branch Like a Dream - Illusion Skill, 935-1135 years ago.]

[Second Soul Skill: A Dream of Peach Blossom Sword - Like a peach branch flying out from a dreamlike peach paradise, a sword that can pierce souls and kill. 1650 → 1850.]

[Third Soul Skill: Scattered Petals and Flying Snow - Peach blossom branches form a chaotic flurry of swords, flowing freely and turbulently, 4620 years → 4820 years.]

[Fourth Soul Skill: Crimson Moon Peach Blossom - A peach fairy gracefully dances beneath the peach blossom moon, a crimson peach blossom descends, bursts forth with a hum, causing a violent explosion, 12210 years → 12410 years.] [Fifth Soul Skill: Scorching Thousand Peach Slash - Unleashes one hundred peach blossom slashes in an instant, with astonishing power, 24530 years → 24730 years.]

[Sixth Soul Skill: Nine Luminaries Peach Blossom Sword – Combining the power of the nine luminaries—Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu—to create nine peach blossom swords, each with different power and effects. 48730 → 48930 years.]

[Seventh Soul Skill: Mortal Body, 85030 → 85230]

Every improvement her apprentice made brought Su Ran feedback.

This is much easier than working yourself to death to become stronger, and it can also increase the age of your spirit rings.

Now, Su Ran's soul ring configuration has been optimized to at least a thousand years, completely getting rid of the [yellow novice soul ring].

It changed from one yellow, two purple, and four black to three purple and four black.

They also obtained a hellish hidden weapon, the Ghost Shuttle? Aren't hidden weapons Tang San's exclusive domain? Interesting.

"Great, keep up the good work. The condensation of the Tenfold Yama Palace has enhanced your Netherworld attributes to a certain extent. If you can awaken the Tenfold Yama Palace, turning the Netherworld into Hell and the human world into Purgatory, you might become the Lord of Hell."

Su Ran said, a hint of admiration in her eyes for Zhu Zhuqing.

She's actually a pretty good girl—if she doesn't do anything stupid.

"Your soul power seems to have reached level 29, right? You shouldn't be far from level 30."

Su Ran then said something like this.

Zhu Zhuqing then sensed her soul power and was surprised to find that as her cultivation of the Ten Kings of Hell progressed, her soul power had also increased slightly.

In addition, with the combination of medicinal baths and special training prepared by Teacher Su Ran over the past month, she actually increased her soul power by two levels, from level twenty-seven to level twenty-nine, and is about to break through to level thirty.

That speed is simply divine!
"Rongrong should break through level 30 in the next couple of days."

Su Ran took a breath and said calmly:

"These next two days, solidify the initial form of the Ten Kings of Hell, and also prepare for our trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Upon hearing Su Ran's words, Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood that their teacher was going to take them hunting for their third spirit ring to help them break through to become spirit masters!

"it is good!"

……

This night.

Su Ran strolled to the entrance of the academy. Under the peach tree, there was still that tall, honest young man, practicing Tiger Style Fist day after day, just like he had for years.

Wang Sheng's aptitude is very poor. Perhaps he is comparable to ordinary people, but compared to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, he is practically trash.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong have an S aptitude, while Wang Sheng's aptitude is only D, and even that is D-.

He was able to defeat Dai Mubai entirely because he trusted Su Ran and, through sheer perseverance, perfected the Tiger Fist technique.

But even so, it cannot hide the fact that he is dull-witted.

At twelve years old, he hadn't even reached level ten.

After six years of relentless training under Su Ran, he finally achieved a minor breakthrough, raising his soul power by nineteen levels.

During this period, two girls came to the academy. They were both very hardworking. Wang Sheng saw this and dared not slack off. In two months, he finally broke through from level 28 to level 29.

However, it will probably take some time before he can break through level 30.

“Wang Sheng, I will take Rongrong and Zhuqing to hunt for the third spirit ring in the next few days. You stay at the academy. We should be back in just a few days.”

Su Ran explained to Wang Sheng.
