Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

"What am I doing...?"

Covering his head, Ning Tian slowly got up and realized that he was leaning on Ning Wuque's thigh, kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed.

Two strong voices, filled with guilt and worry, rang in my ears from either side:

"Young Master, you've finally woken up! Your subordinate has failed to live up to the Sect Master's expectations!"

"Young Master, a strong mental shock just now knocked us unconscious. When we woke up, we found Ning Wuque weakly guarding you."

After they finished speaking, the two, despite being elders at the Soul Douluo level, knelt down on one knee before Ning Tian.

This is no small matter. If Ning Tian and the other two make even the slightest mistake, even if their opponent is a Title Douluo and they are no match for him, they will face certain death if the sect investigates!

Moreover, this mission was entrusted to them because of the sect leader's trust. As trusted confidants who grew up in the sect, it would be more painful for them than to be killed if Ning Tian were to get into trouble!

Fortunately, when they came to their senses, they found the weak Ning Wuque standing beside Ning Tian, ​​desperately stuffing food into his mouth, looking as if he had suffered a great injury.

They wanted to know what had happened, but they figured that based on what the sect leader had told them, Ning Wuque would explain it to Ning Tian.

Resting her head on Ning Wuque's lap, Ning Tian's face was slightly flushed. If she hadn't caught a glimpse of Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao, who had also woken up, she would have pretended to be unwell and stayed a little longer.

But that wouldn't do now. She slowly got up, and thankfully, the mental shock was only meant to knock her unconscious. Apart from still feeling a little dizzy, she was fine.

She sat up and looked into Ning Wuque's eyes, asking him with her gaze what had just happened.

"I'll explain it to you when we get to the academy, for now..."

Ning Wuque whispered, then gently shook his head.

Seeing this, Ning Tian didn't dwell on it too much. All she knew was that Ning Wuque was the first to wake up while she was unconscious, and that he immediately protected her after waking up was enough!

She thought to herself, maybe it was because Ning Wuque was too worried about her that he forced her to wake up?

The thought of this possibility made Ning Tian feel as if he had eaten the sweetest candied fruit in the world. The feeling of being protected by the person he loved was just too wonderful!

"Beibei, what just happened? Why did I faint?"

"Ugh... Damn it, who ambushed me? I hope I don't catch them!"

Soon, Tang Ya and Wu Feng, who were the last to wake up, also got up from the ground, clutching their heads.

Beibei was showing concern for Tang Ya, while Ning Tian was also showing concern for Wu Feng.

After a while, the group returned to the way they were when they entered the Star Dou Great Forest. At the same time, Bei Bei and Tang Ya wisely refrained from asking any further questions after seeing the two men in black protecting Ning Wuque and Ning Tian.

Soon, after ensuring everything was completely safe, the two Soul Douluos who had been secretly protecting Ning Tian concealed themselves again. To ease the slightly awkward situation, Bei Bei spoke up:

"Little brother Yuhao, how are you feeling now? If you're alright, continue hunting souls."

"I...I..."

Yuhao was a little nervous and at a loss, which drew puzzled looks from Wufeng, Ningtian, and Tangya. He stammered as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to explain himself.

Within his spiritual sea, he was frantically seeking help from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, while simultaneously looking to Ning Wuque, hoping that this only person in the know could help him out of his predicament.

Ning Wuque nodded in agreement and took responsibility for the doubts surrounding Huo Yuhao:

"No need. Yuhao has already obtained his first spirit ring. As for how he obtained it, please excuse me."

"In that case, let's forget about it. We can just hunt down a spirit ring for Senior Tang Ya."

Beside her, Ning Tian immediately stood up for Ning Wuque. Although she didn't know why he was helping Huo Yuhao, the clever girl had already guessed that his fainting spell was probably related to him.

She already had a general idea in her mind: could it be that a 100,000-year-old soul beast had offered itself as a sacrifice? Only this explanation could explain why they had all fainted but had not suffered any harm.

At the same time, it was also because Ning Wuque gained some benefits from this and shared the profits with Huo Yuhao that Huo Yuhao covered for him.

However, in any case, everything will become clear when Ning Wuque comes to find him; now is not the time to talk about these things.

In conclusion, Ning Tian has stated his position: this matter should be dropped.

Across from them, Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance. After Bei Bei shook her head, Tang Ya nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Their voices carry little weight, so even if there were any benefits, they couldn't be forced to comply. And their "parents" behind them would most likely not get involved in this kind of childish play.

So listening to Ning Tian and letting it go is the best choice. Anyway, neither of them suffered any loss, they were just a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

Soon, they continued their journey of hunting souls.

The process went smoothly, and Tang Ya successfully hunted a thousand-year-old Mandragora Snake as her third soul ring. The group planned to rest for a while before heading to Shrek Academy.

During their rest, Ning Wuque asked Tang Ya, who was sitting next to Bei Bei not far away:

"Senior Tang Ya, I remember you mentioned before that the Tang Sect has always had one spot for admission to Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam, right? I wonder if I could make a deal with you to get this spot for Yuhao so that he can temporarily study at Shrek Academy?"

Ning Wuque plans to make a deal with Tang Ya.

He definitely intends to send Huo Yuhao to the Body Sect, but not now. Before that, perhaps he can try to spend some time with Yuhao so that he can never repay his debt of gratitude.

At the same time, this was also a test he planned to set for Huo Yuhao, to see what choice he would make after obtaining the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Should we continue to believe him, or... rely on the academy?

"Sigh, you're planning to send him to Shrek Academy?"

Tang Ya looked at Ning Wuque with surprise and confusion. Was this guy being too nice to his little brother Yuhao?

What exactly did they go through to make Ning Wuque help him like this?

Huo Yuhao, who was sitting alone by the campfire grilling fish, also looked up and stared blankly at Ning Wuque.

Brother Wuque...

"Hmm, Shrek Academy allows students to come and go as they please before entering the inner academy, right? They help people to the very end and see them off completely. The upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is only about a year away, isn't it?"

Ning Wuque then began to deliver his prepared explanation in a clear and detailed manner:

"At such a grand event, how could the people of the Body Sect not come to pick up the scraps? Maybe some academy is hiding a potential Body Martial Soul, waiting to be taken home. That way, Yuhao won't have to search all over the sky for him."

"That's true! Alright then, I get along well with little brother Yuhao. Here's a spot for you, one hundred gold soul coins. Of course, Yuhao has to become a nominal disciple of my Tang Sect first, otherwise this spot can't be used."

Tang Ya patted her chest generously. She was kind-hearted by nature, and since the registration period was almost over anyway, she might as well give up the spot.
