In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 131 The Inevitable Result of Strength!

The next day, at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"I didn't expect Ning Rongrong's martial soul to actually evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her soul power has even increased to level 30." Qian Renxue, who had just returned to her residence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had a solemn expression. It would be easy to find out this information. Once Ning Rongrong returned, she could just have someone go to the academy to take a look at her daily training. Ning Fengzhi had no reason to lie to him.

Perhaps that's why Ning Fengzhi dared to reveal it.

Given the size of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be absolutely impossible for them to offend the Illusionary Beast School.

"What exactly are the supplies to be acquired?" Ning Fengzhi did not tell her this.

If they knew, they could have Grandpa send someone to test Zhu Wu and ask if he had any rare treasures suitable for her.

Thinking this, he sat down and quickly wrote a letter, then had it sent to the Spirit Hall for investigation.

Supplies can't just appear out of thin air, so Ning Fengzhi had to procure them from outside.

Meanwhile, in another dormitory, the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng's expression was complicated. He wanted to see Zhu Wu, but he didn't dare, fearing that he might anger the other party and bring about worse consequences. However, doing nothing and being too passive was also not good. This was also the thought of the elders of the clan after they learned that Zhu Wu had arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

I'd like to get to know him as a teammate.

But now, Zhu Wu not only didn't join a team, he also called Dugu Yan away.

"Sigh, I should report this matter back to the sect first." With a sigh, he took out a sheet of paper and began to write a letter.

A few days later, in the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

"Let Tianheng refrain from contact for now and wait for another opportunity," sighed Yu Luomian, who was acting as the head of the family.

"Long Yingtian's decision not to join the team, to some extent, already indicates his stance. He clearly has a poor impression of our clan now."

"Making contact now would not only fail to achieve a resolution, but would also bring unpleasantness."

"Send someone to investigate the details of the deal between Long Yingtian and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This might be an opportunity."

Meanwhile, in the Papal Palace of Wuhun City, the same investigation order was issued by Qian Daoliu.

Meanwhile, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Sword Douluo brought Ning Rongrong back to their dormitory.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Ning Rongrong's spirit power directly broke through to level 33, and her foundation was solid and not at all unstable. With such an improvement, she naturally wanted to personally thank Zhu Wu on behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once again.

As a result, no one was in the dormitory.

"Grandpa Jian, Brother Tian and the others must have gone to the Simulation Training Ground to train." Ning Rongrong suppressed her excitement and said, "You can go back first. I'll thank Brother Tian and Sister Ling'er in person when they come back later."

"Alright." Sword Douluo nodded and turned to leave.

Ning Rongrong strode to the living room sofa, sat down, closed her eyes, and quietly waited while cultivating.

About an hour later, as the sun set, Zhu Wu led Long Ling'er back to the dormitory first.

He pushed open the door with a creak and walked in.

"Brother Tian, ​​Sister Ling'er!" Ning Rongrong, who had just woken up, quickly stood up from the sofa. Perhaps it was because of excitement, or perhaps it was because she was about to share her joy, but her little face was flushed.

He quickly ran to Zhu Wu, glancing at Long Ling'er on the way, who was smiling.

"Brother Tian, ​​thank you!" Her face flushed, she rushed forward, wrapped her arms around Zhu Wu's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"What? You've come to your senses and want to be my concubine?" Zhu Wu put his arm around her waist to steady her, speaking first:

"Offering yourself in return isn't out of the question."

Ning Rongrong blushed instantly, turned to look at Long Ling'er, and said with a face full of shame and indignation, "Sister Ling'er, you have to do something about Brother Tian, ​​he's being indecent again."

To everyone's surprise, Long Ling'er smiled and said, "If it's Rongrong, having another sister isn't a bad thing."

Everything about the Beast Illusion Sect is fictional; its members are all ferocious beasts. Aside from providing force when necessary, they are incapable of staying in the human world for extended periods, which contradicts the sect's established structure. Furthermore, for Zhu Wu's Dragon God bloodline to flourish, it requires a continuous supply of vital energy-based herbs—the more, the better.

While the ferocious beasts of the Soul Beast Forest could be responsible for collecting herbs, it was best to leave the medicinal herbs from the human world to the humans themselves, who were most familiar with them. "Using barbarians to control barbarians"—this was something Zhu Wu had mentioned when he told her stories about humans. During her time in the human world, she encountered all sorts of people and witnessed Zhu Wu's interactions and dealings with them, which helped her understand some things.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was such an ideal choice. Their martial soul possessed the ability to appraise treasures, their members were skilled in business, their wealth rivaled that of a nation, and their industries and networks spanned the entire continent, fulfilling almost all the requirements for medicinal herb collection. Furthermore, it allowed them to stay informed about the latest news from the human world.

The key is that all of their direct descendants are support-type Soul Masters, posing almost no threat and making them easier to control.

As for the Imperial Family and the Spirit Hall, they are too large and involve too many parties, making it somewhat like negotiating with a tiger for its skin—the risks are not low, especially for the Spirit Hall, which possesses the inheritance of the Angel God. They are only suitable for short-term transactions, not for establishing long-term cooperation.

Of course, as one of the three major sects on the mainland, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a complex network of relationships behind it, and cannot be completely trusted.

The best solution right now is undoubtedly to establish a bond strong enough to maintain a relationship of trust.

Ning Rongrong serves as this bond. As the only direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, Ning Rongrong is highly likely to become the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future. Therefore, as long as Zhu Wu and Ning Rongrong unite, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can almost be considered an appendage of the Illusionary Beast School. At the same time, it will also be a major stronghold for the Illusionary Beast School in the human world.

This is the inevitable result of strength!

Although it's morally wrong, it's indeed the best option for the sake of the soul beast race.

Brother Tian once said he might marry a human woman for various reasons, so he must have foreseen this situation. But shouldn't we judge actions, not intentions?

She wouldn't treat Rongrong badly either.

Lost in thought, Ning Rongrong blushed even more, and instinctively turned her head to bury it in Zhu Wu's chest.

Then, as if realizing something, she suddenly pushed them away and turned around, saying, "You're all bullying me, I'm ignoring you."

He said it, but he didn't leave.

Zhu Wu, seeing that he had gained the upper hand, exchanged a glance with Long Ling'er and smiled, "How's it going, Rongrong? What level is your soul power?"

Ning Rongrong then turned around, glanced at Long Ling'er out of the corner of her eye while looking down, and said shyly, "Level 33."

"Aside from the boost from absorbing the soul ring, it's increased by about 6 levels, which is not bad." Zhu Wu nodded.

Both are level 6, but in the original novel, Ning Rongrong went from level 31 to level 37, so the difference in strength is huge.

So, in terms of soul power enhancement, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl is at least inferior to the Qi Luo Tulip. However, its ability to replace the soul core is a significant advantage.

Most importantly, the martial soul has evolved, hasn't it?

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded gently.

"Hehe, we should have a proper celebration tonight." Long Ling'er's gaze was fixed on Ning Rongrong, her tone teasing.

Ning Rongrong nodded subconsciously, then blushed and pounced on Long Ling'er, shouting.

"Sister Ling'er, don't tease me!"

The two women wrestled together, a sight that Zhu Wu found quite pleasing to the eye.

Tap tap tap, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Without even thinking, he knew that Dugu Yan had returned. Zhu Wu turned around and opened the door.

The girl still had a slight flush on her face, clearly indicating that she had just undergone some intense training.

"Young Sect Master," Dugu Yan said politely.

"Come in," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "Rongrong is back now. Go back to your room and wash up first, then we'll all celebrate together."

Dugu Yan glanced at Long Ling'er and Ning Rongrong, who were embracing each other inside the house, nodded slightly, and quickly walked into the house.

Ning Rongrong composed herself and followed Long Ling'er to the dining table to sit down. Soon after, the dishes prepared by the academy cafeteria arrived on time, and the table was laden with food.

After Dugu Yan finished washing up, the four of them started eating, during which Zhu Wu explained the training arrangements.

"Rongrong, like Yanyan, for now, follow the training plan I gave to the second team in the mornings to build a solid foundation. As for the afternoons, make sure to set aside one hour each day to practice your family's concentration control."

Ning Rongrong listened patiently, nodding occasionally.

Half an hour later, the cafeteria lady came to collect the dishes, and the four went upstairs to their rooms. Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er, who were practicing the Vajra Skill and the Purple Demon Eye, chose the top-floor room on the third floor, while Ning Rongrong chose the room next door. Dugu Yan arrived later and chose a room on the second floor.

Tap tap tap, Ning Rongrong followed Long Ling'er upstairs with her head slightly lowered and her expression somewhat restrained.

Upon reaching the corridor, Long Ling'er suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I want to sleep in Rongrong's room tonight."

Ning Rongrong subconsciously looked up at Long Ling'er.

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded without saying anything more.

"Rongrong, go back to your room and cultivate first. I'll come find you later," Long Ling'er said with a smile.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded lightly and turned to walk towards her room.

The lonely night passed quickly. The next morning, Zhu Wu got up early, washed up, and went straight out the door. After waiting a short while, Ning Rongrong followed Long Ling'er out the door, looking like a shy young wife, and greeted them, "Good morning, Brother Tian!"

"Good morning!" Zhu Wu replied with a smile.

Ning Rongrong took small steps to the side, glanced up at Zhu Wu, and then reached out to take his arm.

They walked side by side to the entrance of the corridor and saw that Dugu Yan was already waiting downstairs. They subconsciously and quickly let go of each other's hands.

"???" Dugu Yan, who had just raised her head, was secretly taken aback.

I wondered to myself why the young sect leader would be willing to give away such precious herbs, and then lowered my head as if I hadn't seen it.

Her mind was racing. The young sect leader was perfect in every way—handsome, powerful, but a bit of a womanizer. So, when he gave her the choice between staying in the second team's dormitory or here, could it be that he had taken a liking to me?

The next second, he immediately rejected this idea.

She is seven years older than the young sect leader, and neither her talent nor her appearance is considered top-notch.

With the young sect leader's qualifications, she could easily choose from the top tier, right? Even if she wanted to, it wouldn't be her turn!

She couldn't help but think of the way Zhu Wu had looked at her these past few days; his gaze was calm and showed no unusual behavior.

I was overthinking it.

With that in mind, I stopped thinking about it.

Before long, the four of them ran out of the house together to begin a new day of training.

Because I have things to do at home during the day, I'll probably be working overtime at night and in the early morning for the next few days. If you can't wait, you can read it the next day.
