Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 32 The Kitten's Choice

Ye Liangchen glanced at the five assassins lying on the ground and shook his head helplessly. This was the second time he had killed enemies since arriving in this strange world, and he was gradually getting used to it.

"You people, all you do is fight and kill all day long, it's so annoying." Ye Liangchen complained, then took out a shovel from his soul tool, dug up a pile of mud, and buried the assassins. Zhu Zhuqing also came up to help.

"Hey! Kitty, are you scared to see these killers dead?"

Ye Liangchen was surprised to see that the kitten hadn't left and had even offered to help with the chores.

"What are you afraid of? We are Soul Masters. It's normal to face this kind of scene." Zhu Zhuqing forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart and continued to help dig the soil.

"I encountered a group of bandits robbing a small village. In order to save the villagers, I took action and killed those villains. I felt disgusted when I saw them fall, but I did it to save the villagers."

"We Soul Masters will face killing sooner or later, and we will encounter this situation frequently in the future."

Ye Liangchen told Zhu Zhuqing that when he first eliminated a villain, he also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"I see."

Zhu Zhuqing calmed herself down. She had seen dead people at home before, but they were far away and she had never been so close to them.

After finishing all these things, Ye Liangchen prepared to leave.

"I was hoping to have some roasted wild boar, but it's really bad luck that several assassins died here."

"Little kitty, where are you going?"

Ye Liangchen asked Zhu Zhuqing, even though he knew she would go to Shrek Academy, he still wanted to ask to see if she had any other ideas.

"I haven't decided where to go yet. Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Ye Liangchen's handsome face, not caring that he called her a little kitten.

At that moment, she remembered what her aunt had told her: Strive to live on, break free from the cage of fate, and hope to find your own happiness.

Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed Ye Liangchen's amazing fist and sword skills before, and now she saw him instantly kill five assassins, including three Soul Kings. This incredible ability captivated her.

Having finally seen the young man again, Zhu Zhuqing was not about to let such an opportunity pass. She planned to follow him for a while, and perhaps she could learn some martial arts from him later.

"Didn't you say you were looking for someone?"

Ye Liangchen was taken aback when he heard that the girl wanted to come with him. Wasn't she going to Shrek Academy? Why was she coming with him?

"Let's talk about finding that person later! Where are you going? Let me go with you!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen quietly, her eyes filled with anticipation. She wanted to tell this young man what was on her mind, but being shy, she was too embarrassed to say it for the time being.

"Alright then! Let's leave here first."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, with Zhu Zhuqing following behind.

"Ye Liangchen, what level is your soul power now?"

Zhu Zhuqing recalled that when she met this guy a few years ago, he was already very powerful, and his martial spirit was also super beautiful. She really wanted to take another look.

"I am currently a level 39 Soul Master."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen directly released his Goddess Martial Soul, and three soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—slowly rose up, flashing and dazzlingly beautiful.

"Yellow, purple, and black? A second spirit ring that lasts a thousand years? A third spirit ring that lasts ten thousand years?"

"My God! How...how did you do that?"

Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded when she saw Ye Liangchen's incredible soul ring configuration, her mouth agape like the letter "O".

"It's alright, nothing special. Just average."

Ye Liangchen calmly put away his martial spirit. Looking at the other party's surprised yet longing expression, Ye Liangchen concluded that the other party must have some ideas in mind.

"Ye Liangchen, I want to learn from you, will you teach me?"

"Don't worry, I didn't learn this in vain. I will repay you in the future."

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind that she must follow this young man to cultivate so that she could survive in the future. As for her engagement with Dai Mubai, she put it out of her mind. Nothing was more important than living.

Holy crap! I hadn't even invited the kitten yet, and she'd already come crawling over to me.

"You really want to learn cultivation from me? Why is that?" Ye Liangchen pretended to be very curious, but he actually understood what the other party was thinking.

"Yeah! I just want to become stronger, and then survive."

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Ye Liangchen with her beautiful big eyes, hoping that he would agree to her request. This was her only chance to become stronger, and she had to seize it.

"Then come directly to our Tianshui College! I can teach you there."

Seeing that the girl was determined to follow him, Ye Liangchen didn't plan to ask any more questions, so he directly offered to let her join Tianshui Academy.

"But doesn't Tianshui Academy only accept water-attribute soul masters?"

"And you're a boy, so you can still attend Tianshui Academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed when she heard that the other party had agreed, but she was very curious that the other party would ask her to join Tianshui Academy.

"Actually, I grew up at Tianshui Academy. When I was 6 years old, Aunt Lan arranged for me to enroll and study with a group of girls. But I only spent 3 months learning the knowledge the academy was going to teach. After that, I didn't go to school for a single day and just stayed at home to cultivate."

"You learned it in just three months? I bet you're just too shy to go to school with a bunch of girls?"

Upon hearing that Ye Liangchen had stopped going to school for three months, Zhu Zhuqing immediately guessed that he must be embarrassed, and found it quite amusing.

"Little kitty, if you really want to join Tianshui Academy, I'll talk to Aunt Lan later, and she'll agree to let you join."

"Back in the Star Dou Forest, you met my Aunt Lan. She is the dean of Tianshui Academy. Our Tianshui Academy now has a super titled Douluo powerhouse. After you enter the academy, you can cultivate with peace of mind and don't need to worry about any safety issues."

Ye Liangchen reassured Zhu Zhuqing that the current Tianshui Academy's high-end combat power was no less than that of the three upper sects, giving her peace of mind and eliminating any worries.

"Tianshui Academy is a paradise for female Soul Masters, and I am willing to join it."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Upon hearing that Tianshui Academy was so powerful, even possessing a Super Title Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing joined without hesitation.

She was extremely excited at that moment. Now she finally had a place to stay and no longer had to live in fear.

Seeing that this handsome and sunny young man was willing to take her in, Zhu Zhuqing really wanted to rush over and give him a hug, but her womanly modesty made her embarrassed. If she did that, he would think she was a promiscuous woman.

The young man before her could be described as perfect. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, white teeth and a clear mind. His handsome face was flawless, making Zhu Zhuqing, a woman, feel ashamed of herself.

When the other person saw his stunning physique, their eyes remained completely clear and pure, devoid of any wickedness. Surrounded by beautiful women at Tianshui Academy, he hadn't fallen into depravity—he was truly an exceptional man!

Coupled with his unparalleled talent and strength, which made him unattainable for his peers, such a man was simply the best of the best. No girl would not be moved by him, and Zhu Zhuqing was no exception.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what level of soul power do you have now?"

When Ye Liangchen was 6 years old, he gave her a few Body Tempering Pills. He didn't know what changes she had undergone in the years since.

"I'm only level 28 in soul power, and my soul ring setup is just standard. The first ring takes 400 years, and the second ring takes 700 years. I can't compare to you. My first soul came from a beast..."

"Meow..."

Zhu Zhuqing displayed her martial spirit and introduced her spirit rings and spirit skills to Ye Liangchen, showing that if he wanted to learn from her, he had to be sincere.

"Your soul power has reached the peak of level 28, and you will soon be close to level 29."

Seeing the girl introduce soul rings and soul skills to him without hesitation, Ye Liangchen thought to himself that the body tempering pill he had given her a few years ago had finally had some effect.

Brother Dai Mubai, the kitten has run away and is no longer meant for you. From now on, you can only continue being your playboy!

Ye Liangchen originally thought Zhu Zhuqing would go to Shrek Academy, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed his strength, she would stick to him.

That's good, it saves some unnecessary trouble. It seems that everything I did when she was 6 years old has already made this girl make her choice.

The two ran through the forest, talking as they went. Before they knew it, most of the day had passed. Zhu Zhuqing gradually let go of her burdens and became much more cheerful, with smiles appearing on her face from time to time. To be precise, she was infected by Ye Liangchen's sunny personality.

Imagine a handsome guy who's so good-looking is laughing and joking in front of you, and you're still putting on a miserable face. That's not appropriate.

Men feel happy when they see beautiful women, and women feel the same way when they see handsome men, especially super handsome men with outgoing personalities, who make them feel even better.

Ye Liangchen didn't rest along the way. He picked any high-quality medicinal herbs he saw and put them into his soul tool.

"Ye Liangchen, are you picking these herbs to make medicine?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

"Yes! I'm gathering these medicinal herbs to refine elixirs."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he took out two Soul Power Pills and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Try it, this is a Soul Power Pill I refined, it can restore soul power."

Zhu Zhuqing took the Soul Power Pill, smelled its rich medicinal fragrance, and swallowed it without hesitation. In any case, she now trusted Ye Liangchen completely and believed that he would not harm her.

"Mmm!"

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into pure soul power that surged into every part of her body, causing Zhu Zhuqing to groan involuntarily.

"Swish..."

Just then, an aura erupted from Zhu Zhuqing, allowing her to break through her bottleneck and raise her soul power to level 29.

"I've reached level 29."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing felt deeply moved as she sensed her newfound soul power level. A soft spot in her heart seemed to be touched, and she couldn't help but shed a few tears.

"Why are you crying? Your soul power has been upgraded; you should be happy."

Wasn't this kitten supposed to have a cold personality? How did she become like this? Ye Liangchen's mind was full of questions.

"I...I'm just too excited." Zhu Zhuqing turned around, quietly wiping away her tears, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, full of collagen, turned bright red, like a red apple, making one want to take a bite.

"You're only level 29 now. Try your best to reach level 30 within two months, then you can get your third spirit ring."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you for your help. I will repay your kindness."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. It's almost evening, let's find a place to start a fire and cook, we'll be spending the night in the mountains."

Ye Liangchen calmly said something and beckoned Zhu Zhuqing to follow.

Seeing Ye Liangchen's tall and handsome back, Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed. As long as she could become stronger, nothing else mattered.
