Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle
Chapter 132 Rock Ant King
a few days later.
Tian Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.
No, the current Blue Tyrant Academy should be renamed Shrek Academy.
Just then, a slightly stocky figure appeared in front of the academy gate.
It was Oscar who had returned from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Thinking about the amazing changes that have taken place since I made my decision, my previous feelings of inferiority have vanished.
His steps were much steadyer than usual, and his eyes, which used to be a bit playful, were now calmer.
Oscar took a deep breath of the fresh, grassy air, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the storage soul tool.
There, he absorbed a trace of warm spiritual energy left over from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng King.
It can be said that in just a few days, not only did his soul power improve, but most importantly, his mindset changed.
Originally, because he couldn't find his target, he followed the chubby Ma Hongjun to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he never expected to have such a great opportunity.
Someone values themselves so much.
Completely different from the master who treated himself as a stepping stone for his disciple Tang San, and did everything to serve his disciple.
Even though he was a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, he did not receive the attention he deserved.
As soon as he stepped into the academy, the students who were doing their morning exercises all turned their attention to him and bowed to this senior, a food-type soul master at the Soul Venerable level.
Oscar simply nodded politely and went straight back to his residence.
He knew that his focus was still on his studies, to finish this year's All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament, and then strive for a future that belonged to him.
As for the master, let whoever wants to play with him play with him. Dean Flanders values brotherhood too much. Sigh!
……
At this moment, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi was sitting on a soft couch in his study, playing with a translucent glass bead in his hand.
He recalled his conversation with Oscar the day before; the young man, despite his extraordinary talent, remained humble throughout.
His plans for the future are also clear and organized, unlike the geniuses that Shrek Academy, a shoddy institution, could produce.
This made him sigh inwardly.
If it weren't for Lin Yao, a peerless genius who appeared out of nowhere, I probably would have already done everything in my power to win him over.
After all, food-type geniuses represent a different kind of power compared to the amplification-type support characters in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Of course, there's no need for that now. With Xiao Yao, this unparalleled genius, as time goes by, the future belongs to Xiao Yao and Rong Rong.
Ning Fengzhi tapped his fingertips lightly on the edge of the couch, his gaze falling on the neatly trimmed flowers and trees in the courtyard outside the window, and he thought to himself:
"That's fine. Xiao Yao has already paved the way for Oscar. I just need to safeguard this stability and respect his choice."
Meanwhile, Meng Yiran, who had consumed the Spirit Serpent Fruit, was currently at the martial arts training ground on the back mountain of the sect.
He waved his serpent staff continuously, making a rustling sound as it cut through the air.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting an even more eerie glow on her, making the evolved serpent staff appear even more sinister.
The staff was covered with dark gold patterns, and the snake head at the top had blood-red eyes.
Driven by soul power, it occasionally spits out a forked tongue, emitting a faint aura of poison.
This is the change after absorbing the Spirit Serpent Fruit, which has increased the venom intensity of the Serpent Staff several times and made it more agile.
It seemed as if it had come to life.
Meng Yiran, who had summoned the Serpent Staff and was holding it in her hand, felt an unprecedented sense of tacit understanding and a sense of power.
Meng Yiran flicked her wrist and slammed the snake staff into the ground. A dark green poisonous mist instantly spread out, corroding the surrounding rocks with countless tiny holes.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her eyes grew even sharper.
Thinking of the powerful combined attack techniques that my grandfather Meng Shu and grandmother Chao Tianxiang often practiced, I felt a surge of motivation.
I must catch up with my grandparents so that I don't fall behind in the powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Especially the boy who was lagging behind.
……
At the same time, Lin Yao was standing outside Ning Rongrong's courtyard, a bright green leaf between his fingers, gently blowing a crisp tune.
Not long after, the courtyard gate creaked open.
Ning Rongrong was dressed in a light yellow outfit, with a small storage soul tool slung over her shoulder, her face beaming with barely concealed excitement:
"Brother Lin Yao, when are we leaving for Sunset Forest?"
Ma Hongjun, who was following behind her, also seemed somewhat excited.
After all, for Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, nothing is more exciting than getting a new Soul Ring.
Even though the main purpose of this operation was to add new spirit rings for Ning Rongrong, and he was just an afterthought.
However, Ma Hongjun did not slack off in the slightest.
"immediately."
Lin Yao smiled and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, then patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder:
"Hongjun, let's take care of your third spirit ring while we're at it. Let's go and come back as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Lin Yao."
As soon as Ma Hongjun finished speaking, a purple figure slowly descended from the sky. It was Dugu Bo, who had rushed over after hearing Lin Yao's message.
He wore a loose purple robe, held a cane carved with snake patterns, and wore a lazy smile on his face.
"Xiao Yao, Rongrong, and this chubby boy, this old man will be your bodyguard."
Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, her voice clear and crisp:
"Thank you, Senior Dugu."
Ma Hongjun obediently bowed to Dugu Bo's nickname "Little Fatty," not daring to be disrespectful to this titled Douluo.
In addition, although Dugu Bo addressed him in this way, there was no malice in it.
On the contrary, he felt a sense of familiarity, which helped him gradually integrate into the group.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, his gaze lingering on Ning Rongrong for a moment, and smiled:
"You're becoming more and more charming, girl. I'll definitely find you a good soul ring when we go to Sunset Forest this time."
After a brief conversation, the four of them hurried towards Sunset Forest. About two hours later, they arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo landed first, releasing a wisp of soul power to probe his surroundings, then pointed in one direction:
"There's a flock of thousand-year-old Flaming Demon Birds over there, perfect for that kid Ma Hongjun. I'll take him down."
Lin Yao, who also sensed the situation not far away with his mental power, nodded, indicating that this choice was acceptable.
Immediately, Dugu Bo's figure disappeared from the spot, and not long after, a deafening cry came from the forest.
Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo brought a huge, red bird-type soul beast to Ma Hongjun.
Let Ma Hongjun absorb it.
Ma Hongjun sat down cross-legged, activating the thousand-year-old soul ring that was floating not far away, and began to absorb the power of the soul ring.
A faint red soul power fluctuation emanated from his body, which was the unique flame aura of the Phoenix Martial Soul.
Everything happened naturally.
This was just a spirit beast that was about 2000 years old, and Ma Hongjun absorbed it easily.
After absorbing the spirit ring, Ma Hongjun's face was filled with excitement, and he thought to himself:
"I've got my third spirit ring. Now I'm a three-ring spirit master, not much weaker than Boss Dai."
This feeling of increased power gave Ma Hongjun a sense of inflated power, as if he were in control of the world.
But seeing Lin Yao's calm expression, she instantly calmed down.
Unconsciously, he thought of how terrifying Lin Yao was, his terrifying Soul Emperor cultivation level, and his terrifying Soul Ring configuration.
Ma Hongjun felt that his status as a minor Soul Master was somewhat weak, and his arrogance subsided.
"I'm still far weaker than Boss Lin Yao, so I can't get arrogant."
Seeing Ma Hongjun's rapidly changing expression, Lin Yao was somewhat puzzled. Why would there be such a change after absorbing a soul ring?
However, there was no intention to pursue the matter further.
Ma Hongjun finished so quickly, without wasting much time, and could devote most of his energy to Ning Rongrong.
Thinking this, Lin Yao looked at the obedient Ning Rongrong beside him and asked in a serious tone:
"Rongrong, what are your thoughts on your fourth spirit ring?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly. She straightened up, put her hands on her hips, and revealed a hint of heroic spirit on her face:
"Brother Lin Yao, I want to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
She held up her fingers and counted her spirit ring configuration one by one:
"I absorbed a thousand-year soul ring in my second ring, and the third ring is also five or six thousand years old, so my soul ring configuration is now yellow-purple-purple."
If the fourth spirit ring also absorbs a thousand-year spirit ring, the combination of yellow, purple, and purple would look rather odd; black would be better.
Therefore, I plan to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at this crucial 40th-level Quasi-Soul Master stage, and I am confident that I can withstand the impact of the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Looking at the determined light in her eyes, Lin Yao couldn't help but recall how she looked when she absorbed her second spirit ring.
Although she was brave back then, she would still frown when faced with the impact of soul power. Now, however, she can confidently challenge a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
He knew in his heart that Rongrong in front of him was no longer the pampered little princess in the original story.
Under her influence, not only did her strength improve rapidly, but she also stopped blaming those who had problems and developed a rare sense of responsibility.
Lin Yao nodded gently, a hint of satisfaction in his voice, as he remarked on how much Ning Rongrong, whom he had watched grow up, had matured.
"Okay, Rongrong, I'll support you."
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised. He raised an eyebrow and carefully examined Ning Rongrong:
"Girl, do you know how strong the soul power fluctuations of a ten-thousand-year soul ring are? Even with the blessing of immortal herbs, you will inevitably suffer pain."
Ning Rongrong did not back down at all. She looked directly into Dugu Bo's eyes and said firmly:
"Grandpa Yan Yan, don't underestimate me. I am the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If I can't even face this little challenge, how will I lead the sect in the future?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. The kind of people he hated most in his life were those who fawned on the powerful and were cowardly.
It is truly remarkable that Ning Rongrong has such awareness at such a young age.
He recalled his decision to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was originally only out of consideration for Lin Yao.
Now I realize that this choice was absolutely right.
There was no backstabbing or infighting in the sect; everyone was striving to become stronger, and this positive and uplifting atmosphere made him feel incredibly comfortable.
He coughed softly, his tone much gentler:
"Since you are so determined, then I will help you find a suitable soul beast."
In my opinion, you should choose a defensive attribute for your fourth soul ring.
This will not only increase your skills in this area, but also make up for some of your weaknesses, allowing you to better protect yourself and support your teammates.
Lin Yao immediately agreed: "Senior Dugu is right, Rongrong, your martial soul is mainly for amplification."
Therefore, the spirit rings primarily enhance the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification capabilities.
However, it will also enhance your defenses, greatly improving your survivability.
Ning Rongrong nodded, "I'll listen to you guys, Brother Lin Yao!"
As for Ma Hongjun, he listened quietly to Ning Rongrong's determination to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as her fourth soul ring.
No wonder Sister Rongrong was able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring in her second soul ring; she had such determination, unlike a weak support-type soul master.
Lin Yao, the eldest brother, is already a monster, but Rongrong, his younger sister, is not to be outdone. She's even more hardworking than me, a battle spirit master.
Ugh!
……
After making the decision, Dugu Bo led Lin Yao, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun into the depths of Sunset Forest.
He was extremely familiar with this forest, and he would stop every now and then to release his soul power to probe the aura of the surrounding soul beasts.
The spirit beasts along the way felt the pressure from the Title Douluo and hid in caves or deep forests, not daring to come out and stop him.
After walking for about an hour, Dugu Bo suddenly stopped and pointed to a region of overlapping mountains ahead:
"There's a group of rock ants ahead. There should be some that are tens of thousands of years old among them, which would be perfect for Rongrong to absorb."
Lin Yao immediately released his powerful mental energy to carefully explore that area.
Soon, he sensed a dense fluctuation of soul power, mixed with a faint but pure aura of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes:
"That's right, it's a rock armor ant colony, and there's a rock armor ant king that just recently advanced in rank. It's about 10,000 years old, which is perfect for Rongrong."
Ordinary rock ants are not very strong; they mainly rely on their numbers to protect themselves and are still subject to the control of the queen.
However, once it evolves into the Rock Armor Ant King, it can break free from the control of the Ant Queen, and its overall qualities will leap from the level of a low-to-mid-level soul beast to that of a high-level soul beast.
Especially in terms of defense, it has already reached the level of the bloodline of top-tier soul beasts.
If it can grow to 100,000 years old, it can evolve into the Rock Armor Ant King, whose defensive capabilities are comparable to top-tier soul beasts like the Thousand-Pound Ant King.
This type of soul beast is indeed an excellent choice.
Upon hearing the name of the Rock Ant King, Ning Rongrong also recalled related information about it.
His eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists.
"Let's choose this one, Rock Ant King, Brother Lin Yao."
Seeing her excited expression, Dugu Bo smiled and said:
"Now that the target has been identified, I will take action and capture it first."
Before Lin Yao could speak, he leaped into the air, his body radiating a rich purple soul power, and the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
Its entire body was covered in snake scales, a huge snake tail grew from its back, and its eyes turned into vertical pupils, exuding a terrifying pressure.
He silently chanted a soul incantation, then slammed out his right hand, sending a purple, poisonous palm strike towards the direction of the rock-armored ant swarm.
With a deafening roar, the ground collapsed instantly, and countless rock ants crawled out of their burrows, only to collapse upon contact with the aftershocks of the poisonous palm.
If it weren't for the desire to avoid too much bloodshed and a significant decrease in the number of soul beasts in Sunset Forest, probably none of the soul beasts here would have survived.
This is the deterrent power of the poison techniques possessed by the Azure Scale Douluo, Dugu Bo.
After clearing out the small fry, Dugu Bo flashed through the ant swarm like a ghost, and a purple poisonous thread precisely wrapped around an ant king that was ten times larger than an ordinary rock armor ant.
The Rock Armor Ant King clearly sensed the danger, and a layer of gray carapace appeared on its body as it tried to break free from the venomous threads.
But Dugu Bo's soul power was so strong that the poison lines tightened instantly, creating cracks in the Rock Ant King's carapace.
The Rock Armor Ant King let out a sharp hiss, but it was still unable to break free.
In the end, he could only collapse helplessly to the ground, and the fluctuations of his soul power gradually weakened.
Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh as he watched Dugu Bo's decisive movements.
Ever since Dugu Bo settled his old grudges, he has always appeared lazy and listless.
But once he makes a move, he is decisive and ruthless, though at this moment he looks like an old man eager to show off.
Ning Rongrong quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Dugu Bo: "Thank you, Grandpa Dugu."
Hearing Ning Rongrong address him so sweetly, Dugu Bo smiled, put away his martial spirit, and waved his hand.
"It was nothing, Rongrong. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Ning Rongrong nodded and turned to look at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao gave her an encouraging smile and said softly:
"Rongrong, I will protect you. No matter what, I will not let anything happen to you. You can absorb it with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded, took a deep breath, and said no more. She then took out a sharp short blade from her storage soul tool.
This was specially prepared for her by Lin Yao. A trace of star soul power was attached to the blade, which could quickly sever the life essence of a soul beast.
She walked up to the Rock Armor Ant King, her eyes resolute, and without hesitation plunged the short blade into the king's forehead.
The Rock Armor Ant King's body twitched violently, then stopped moving.
A pale black soul ring slowly rose from its body, emanating a rich and pure soul power fluctuation.
Seeing this spirit ring, even though he had seen Lin Yao absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings many times before, he was still a little nervous and excited because it was his first time encountering a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Especially when she sensed the powerful aura emanating from the spirit ring, Ning Rongrong felt as if the surrounding air had become heavy because of its presence.
She knew that absorbing a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring could cause a mental shock, and that if one was not careful, one could go into a state of demonic possession.
But the thought of Lin Yao eased most of her tension.
"Brother Lin Yao is so outstanding, I can't fall too far behind him, I must catch up with him."
She recalled her childhood:
Absorbing the second soul ring of the millennium is the first step.
Consuming the Qiluo Tulip to evolve one's martial soul is considered the second step.
Absorbing the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years is now the third step.
Every step was full of challenges, but each breakthrough brought her a little closer to Lin Yao.
She clenched her fists, sat cross-legged, and used her soul power to guide the soul ring to the top of her head.
Then, he formed hand seals and began to guide the power of the spirit ring into his body.
The pale black spirit ring slowly descended and landed on Ning Rongrong.
Instantly, a surge of violent soul power rushed into her meridians like a tidal wave, causing her to frown and beads of sweat to appear on her forehead.
But she gritted her teeth and, with her strong willpower, controlled the flow of soul power, gradually channeling that violent energy into her martial soul.
Lin Yao and Dugu Bo stood guard quietly by the side. Lin Yao released his spiritual power to keep a close eye on Ning Rongrong's condition. If he found that her soul power was disordered, he would immediately help her.
At the same time, Lin Yao summoned the Celestial Star Array of the Star Body, which silently enveloped Ning Rongrong, giving her a protective buff.
Dugu Bo stood not far away, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings to prevent any other soul beasts from disturbing him.
Three hours passed quickly. Perhaps because of her own strong foundation and Lin Yao's protection, everything went smoothly.
Ning Rongrong's soul power fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, and her originally light black soul rings gradually merged with her martial soul.
Two more hours passed, and it was now dawn. As the first rays of sunlight shone on her, Ning Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes.
A dazzling, shimmering light burst forth from her body—her fourth spirit ring.
The pale black soul ring, symbolizing ten thousand years of cultivation, finally appeared stably on her martial soul.
"It's a success!"
Ning Rongrong stood up, feeling the surging soul power within her body, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
She raised her hand and summoned the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. The pagoda was crystal clear, and a gray pattern was engraved on the fourth layer, which was the defensive characteristic brought by the Rock Armor Ant King's soul ring.
She checked her soul power level and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had reached level 47, not far from becoming a Soul King.
The fact that only a King-level being could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, combined with the remaining immortal herb power of the Qiluo Tulip, had actually given him such a boost.
That was the right decision.
Seeing that Ning Rongrong had finished absorbing the energy, Lin Yao silently put away the Zhou Tian Star Array, stepped forward, and looked on with satisfaction in his eyes:
"Rongrong, you did a great job."
Dugu Bo also nodded with a smile:
"Girl, you've set a record for support-type Soul Masters. You're a level 47 Soul Master with a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. You won't find another one like you in the entire Douluo Continent."
Ma Hongjun also sensed the powerful soul force emanating from Ning Rongrong's body and similarly exclaimed in praise:
"As expected of Sister Rongrong, I'm only a minor Soul Master now, while Sister Rongrong is almost a Soul King."
……
Afterwards, the four set off back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Upon returning to the sect, Ning Rongrong immediately took Meng Yiran to the Royal Fighting Team's base. Holding Meng Yiran's hand, she excitedly said:
"Yiran, I'll introduce you to two good friends, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. They are both very powerful Soul Masters."
Actually, this is just the surface reason. The main reason is that Ning Rongrong felt that she had broken through to the Soul Master level, and if she didn't show it off, the joy of breaking through wouldn't be strong enough.
As for Meng Yiran, feeling that Ning Rongrong was so enthusiastic towards her and even wanted to introduce her to her good friends, she showed a gentle smile and her eyes were full of anticipation.
As for Ma Hongjun, he bid farewell to everyone and prepared to return to Shrek Academy.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had more cultivation resources, Ma Hongjun thought of Flander's care for him.
Therefore, he told Lin Yao that he would help Dean Flander finish this Soul Master Competition and then come back to work for Lin Yao.
Lin Yao expressed his support for this.
