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

Chapter 97 I Like You Very Much

Time flew by, and the first day of the competition came to a complete end in the blink of an eye. The Shrek Academy students left the conference room in a relatively relaxed atmosphere and headed towards the hotel.

After Ning Wuque, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi revealed their true identities, the pressure on them instantly lessened considerably.

Originally, Beibei and Xu Sanshi both thought that only they could carry the banner of victory and were prepared to fight with their lives on the line, but when they looked back...

Sigh... two more people willing to risk their lives?

That's really good!

"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Hongchen."

As soon as the group left the conference room, they saw Xiao Hongchen, who had been waiting outside the door, leaning against the wall and looking cool. He looked up slightly, his legs were a little numb from posing for almost an hour, but he persevered in order to look even cooler.

Looking at Ning Wuque, he said softly:

"Can we talk alone? My destined rival."

"From the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

"Yes, that's me."

"Teacher Wang Yan, you can go first, I'll stay."

Nodding, although he didn't know why Xiao Hongchen wanted to talk to him alone, he didn't refuse. Instead, he planned to see what the other party was really up to.

Wang Yan respected Ning Wuque's decision and left with the others first. Before long, only Ning Wuque and Xiao Hongchen remained.

I like you very much.

"puff---"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Wuque couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. He stared at Xiao Hongchen in disbelief, then took two steps back without making a sound, staring at him with extremely vigilant eyes, as if he would take action if Xiao Hongchen showed any signs of advancing further.

Something's not right, something's not right. He doesn't remember that Xiao Hongchen was gay in the original work. Even if he was, shouldn't his target be someone like Wang Dong or Huo Yuhao, who are sweet and soft?

Looking for him? Could it be...?

Suddenly, Ning Wuque's gaze toward Xiao Hongchen became even more strange. Could this guy be the legendary cunning Zero?

"Tch, don't get me wrong, I just really like you as a person."

Something's even worse! Ning Wuque's forehead was already sweating, but thankfully, Xiao Hongchen's next words calmed him down:

"I'm here to ask you for advice. I, Xiao Hongchen, am not an arrogant person. You are very stylish, and I would like to ask you how I can become stylish as well, otherwise I always feel like I will be overshadowed by you."

"...Just because of something like that? You idiot, well, this type is ingrained in my genes, I can't teach you. My advice is to figure it out yourself."

Shaking his head, Ning Wuque had lost interest in Xiao Hongchen. He got up to leave, and as he passed by, he politely said:

"I'm leaving now. See you at the finals."

"Haha, not bad... No wonder you're the man I consider my rival, even your walk is so stylish, hahahaha."

Watching Ning Wuque's departing figure, Xiao Hongchen became even happier. Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, it was enough.

Not long after, he also left the place.

…………

The next match was pretty straightforward; "scoundrel" Xu Sanshi single-handedly eliminated Yunluo Academy, although his fighting style was indeed...

cheap!

Even Ning Wuque couldn't hold back anymore. How could someone be so shameless as to act like Xu Sanshi? However, his true strength later did indeed shock many people.

In particular, the special footwork he used when dealing with the captain of Tianluo Academy caught Ning Wuque's attention, but he quickly lost interest in it.

Once the ring is activated, it's questionable whether he can accurately control his movement trajectory. This kind of delicate footwork is not suitable for him at all. What he needs most is a footwork technique similar to "explosive step" that can utilize power at once, allowing his power to combine with speed to maximize its effectiveness.

And so, the second day of the round-robin tournament came to an end.

That evening, Wang Yan suggested taking everyone to an auction that would be held that night, intending to replenish everyone's supplies with some auxiliary soul tools.

Ning Wuque was extremely excited about this. If he remembered correctly, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, or rather the Life Gold, was definitely going to be auctioned at this auction!

Ning Wuque had wanted this good thing for a long time.

However, he couldn't find any excuse to take it when he was a child. After all, this thing had failed to sell at auction several times, and it was uncertain which auction house it would appear at each year. Moreover, how could Ning Wuque explain that he needed this thing?

Of course, Ning Wuque could have gotten it if he really wanted it, but at that time he was completely powerless to remove the resentment that had accumulated on the carving knife over the years. Even if he got it, it would be a complete waste of his time and energy.

However, considering future development, there was indeed a clear need for this thing in his plans, and he had already devised a way to remove the curse without relying on Electrolux.

That is, to use his own powerful blood and qi to forcefully wash away the resentment above! But this step can only be attempted and tested after his flesh, blood, bones and other three gates are fully opened, and it is accompanied by great risks.

Even if he doesn't gain Electrolux's favor later, he can still try to make use of this great opportunity. Even if he grinds the purified substance into powder and drinks it year after year, that would be excellent!

But now that Electrolux has chosen him, this plan can basically be abandoned. Wouldn't it be better to just let Electrolux do this favor for him? Ning Wuque won't miss any of the hardships he has to endure.

He tries to avoid any hardship he can, because who would torture themselves like that?

"I just don't want to use a soul tool. You guys can go, I'm not going."

It really does.

Wang Dong made it clear that he had no desire to come into contact with soul tools, so he left the group and went back to the lounge with Huo Yuhao.

Everyone respected and understood his choice. Huo Yuhao comforted him for a while before the group set off for the auction house.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything good here..."

The evening auction went smoothly, and Wang Yan used the funds provided by the academy to buy a lot of auxiliary soul tools for everyone.

Of the three members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian was idly playing with her fingers. Almost none of the soul tools in this auction were usable for her, and even if there were any, they were already in her storage soul tool.

As for Wu Feng, it's better to let her eat her fill so she can unleash 120% of her fighting power than to expect this irritable little red dragon to remember to use the soul tool during battle.

Ning Wuque didn't have much to buy; his only need for soul tools was a forging tool, and...

"Distinguished guests, thank you for waiting. Next up is our grand finale auction item for tonight."

It's finally here, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade!
