Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

Ning Rongrong hovered blankly in mid-air, her eyes fixed on the layers of glazed pagodas in front of her, completely lost in a daze.

Everyone on the mainland knows that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been passed down for ten thousand years, and its orthodox martial soul has always been the seven-layered Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

As for the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it only exists in scattered records in the sect's ancient secret scrolls, it is ethereal and no one has ever witnessed it.

Even her father, Ning Fengzhi, who had been in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for many years, exhausted all his manpower and resources, and traveled through countless ancient books and secret manuals, spending half his life's effort, could not break through the innate shackles of his martial soul and never reached the Nine Treasures Realm in his lifetime.

"My...my martial spirit has really evolved?"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled, her face filled with disbelief, as if she were in a dream.

Ao Yin stood to the side, a knowing smile on his lips, and nodded gently, his tone calm and confident.

"No doubt about it."

"The Qiluo Tulip I gave you was a divine treasure specifically created to overcome the inherent flaws of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Making up for the shortcomings of the martial soul and breaking the generational shackles are both expected results and nothing to be surprised about."

These few words completely shook Ning Rongrong's mind.

The martial arts breakthrough that her father could not achieve in his entire life, and the martial spirit transformation that countless sect predecessors had been obsessed with for thousands of years, she accomplished so easily with just a single immortal herb given to her by Ao Yin.

Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't contain her emotions and leaped into Ao Yin's arms again, clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go.

"Is this real? Brother Ao, I'm not dreaming!"

Ao Yin smiled indulgently, gently kneading her slender and supple waist with his palm, soothing her tenderly.

"Of course it's true. To personally break through and experience a surge in strength, how could it be a dream?"

A slight itchy and tingling sensation came from her waist, and Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed. She twisted her body coquettishly.

"Ouch! That hurts! You always bully Rongrong!"

Ao Yin chuckled helplessly and gently tapped her smooth forehead with his fingertip.

"It's your fault for being so suspicious. The fact that you can feel pain means that all of this is real."

The courtyard was filled with tender affection, the atmosphere ambiguous and gentle.

Just as the two were flirting and interacting intimately, Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately coughed twice to break the atmosphere.

The celestial mist had just dissipated, and everyone was focused on their cultivation breakthroughs, but the two of them were playfully bickering as if no one else was around, which made her unable to resist casting a slightly teasing glance at them.

Sensing Liu Erlong's slightly "threatening" gaze, Ao Yin instantly changed his demeanor, stood up straight, and awkwardly changed the subject, taking the initiative to inquire about everyone's cultivation progress.

"Ahem! Brothers, how's everyone's absorption of the immortal herbs going? What level has your soul power broken through to?"

Everyone snapped out of their daze upon hearing the sound, their faces beaming with the ecstasy of a breakthrough.

In the past six months, everyone had already made some breakthroughs, and with this elixir, their progress has been even greater!

Dai Mubai spoke first, his tone full of excitement and emotion.

"Brother Ao! My soul power has stabilized and reached the peak of level 49, the Soul Master realm! I only need a suitable soul ring to directly step into the Soul King realm!"

The others also reported their cultivation levels, with all of them breaking through their bottlenecks and experiencing a surge in their foundation!

Oscar, a peak level 39 Soul Master!

Ma Hongjun, a peak level 39 Soul Master!

Ning Rongrong, a peak level 39 Soul Master!

Zhu Zhuqing, a peak level 39 Soul Master!

Xiao Wu has the deepest foundation, and directly broke through to the peak of level 49 Soul Master!

Ao Yin remained firmly in first place, maintaining his level 50 Soul King cultivation and leading by a significant margin.

At this moment, the overall strength of the Shrek Seven Devils has completely transformed: one is a Soul King, two are high-level Soul Masters, and four are peak Soul Venerables.

Even more terrifying is that everyone's body still contains abundant immortal herbal power. As long as they absorb the corresponding suitable soul ring, everyone can break through to a higher level again. At that time, the team's combat power will be refreshed again - three Soul Kings and four high-level Soul Masters will be born!

Watching the spectacular sight of everyone taking off, Flander's old face was filled with undisguised ecstasy, and he nodded excitedly repeatedly.

What surprised him most was his own transformation!

With the help of the ninth-grade purple fungus given to him by Ao Yin, his cultivation barrier, which had been stagnant for many years, was completely shattered. He broke through all the way and directly stood firmly at the peak of the seventy-ninth level Soul Saint!

A vast and powerful soul force surged and circulated within his body, his foundation being thoroughly solidified by the immortal herb.

Flander's eyes shone brightly, filled with excitement.

"I can clearly feel it! As long as I absorb a suitable ten-thousand-year spirit ring, I will immediately break through the shackles and step into the level eighty-one spirit douluo!"

He turned to look at Ao Yin, his eyes filled with genuine gratitude.

Liu Erlong also stepped forward with a smile to praise him, his eyes full of amazement.

"Flander, your absorption efficiency is just as good as these younger generation!"

"Level 79 peak, at this speed, it won't be long before they catch up to me, an eight-ring Soul Douluo!"

The two were overjoyed by their transformation, and the scene was peaceful and harmonious.

Not far away, Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching the whole thing, stood alone, looking at the glaring scene before him, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The once-powerful trio that traversed the continent side by side—Liu Erlong has broken through to the Soul Douluo level, Flander is about to enter the Soul Douluo realm, but he alone has remained stagnant for decades, making no progress whatsoever.

The sense of loss, regret, and shame piled up, tearing his heart apart.

After struggling for a long time, his pride finally gave way to this incredible opportunity, and he brazenly took the initiative to speak.

"That...that Xiao Ao..."

"Everyone else received the immortal herb and gained a chance, so... could I have one too?"

When he said those words, Yu Xiaogang's entire neck and above turned bright red; he was extremely embarrassed and had completely lost face.

Seeing this, Flander shook his head helplessly and sighed, his tone full of regret.

"Xiao Gang, if only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You insisted on questioning the efficacy of the medicinal herbs, convinced that it was a case of forcing growth, but now it's too late to regret it."

Liu Erlong despised his opportunistic behavior from the bottom of her heart, and spoke coldly and mercilessly.

"Yu Xiaogang, you're supposed to be a master, can't you stand up for yourself a little?"

"You were the one who insisted that the immortal herb had hidden dangers and refused to accept it. Now that everyone else has seized their opportunities, it's ridiculous and too late for you to ask for it back!"

Seeing the two scolding each other, Ao Yin raised his hand at the right time and gently comforted the sulking Liu Erlong.

"Teacher Erlong, please don't say that."

"No matter what, Yu Xiaogang... Master, is ultimately a member of our Shrek Academy."

He deliberately emphasized the word "master," implying a sarcastic and mocking tone.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had been in despair, suddenly brightened up and his hope was rekindled. He stared at Ao Yin with anticipation.

But the next second, Ao Yin's demeanor changed drastically. He pretended to be serious as he searched his pockets from left to right, feeling around and taking a deep breath.

After a moment, he sighed deeply with regret, his tone heavy.

I'm so sorry.

"All the rare and precious herbs brought back from the secret realms have been distributed. There isn't a single one left."

In one sentence, Yu Xiaogang's last hope was completely extinguished, leaving him frozen on the spot, filled with unbearable regret.

At this moment, Tang San's face turned green.

He really missed a lot of opportunities.

"What kind of teacher did I even have? This is a total rip-off!"

Tang San wanted to cry but had no tears.
