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

Chapter 132 Tang San, a liar!

A month later, as night fell, indoors.

"Rongrong, here, choose one." Zhu Wu took out two booklets from his soul tool and handed them to Ning Rongrong.

"What's this?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion. She took the two books and looked down at them. One book was labeled "Longevity Technique," and the other was labeled "Mysterious Heaven Technique."

"Both are cultivation techniques for soul power. Regardless of which one you choose, they can increase your cultivation speed by at least 30%," Zhu Wu explained. "The difference between the two is that the Longevity Technique, when practiced under moonlight, can draw the essence of the moon into your body, increasing your spiritual power. As a support soul master, the growth of spiritual power is very important. It can greatly improve your control over yourself and your soul skills, and it will also be of great use for your upcoming training in distraction control."

"In addition, your martial soul has evolved by fusing with the essence of the stars and moon, and now it is perfectly suited to the characteristics of this technique. Cultivating it should further enhance your martial soul's origin and allow its quality to evolve further."

Ning Rongrong was shocked and stared blankly at the Longevity Technique in her hand.

"As for the Xuan Tian Gong, after cultivation, one's soul power becomes inexhaustible and boundless, which can help one open up the eight extraordinary meridians. Of course, even without cultivating this technique, I still have the ability to help you open up the eight extraordinary meridians," Zhu Wu continued.

"In addition, these two cultivation methods conflict with each other and cannot be practiced simultaneously. Once one of them is practiced, the other can no longer be practiced unless one abandons the practice and starts over."

"The consequences of abandoning one's cultivation can range from a significant loss of one's cultivation level to a serious impact on one's martial spirit, or even damage to one's foundation."

As for the Vajra Skill, Ning Rongrong's martial soul is unsuitable. After all, it evolved by fusing the essence of stars and moon, and her martial soul already contains the characteristics of star and moon power, with a yin attribute. Fusing it with pure yang sun power would be risky; who knows if it would cause a conflict? Besides, he wouldn't choose to teach it.

The Vajra Longevity Technique was his greatest secret. Ning Rongrong had the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind her, so he had to be on guard.

As for the Mysterious Heaven Skill, all he could say was...

Tang San is a complete fraud!

There's no such thing as being unable to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique after reaching a certain level of soul power. The cultivation methods native to the Douluo Continent are extremely primitive; so-called advanced meditation techniques are hardly even considered cultivation methods. If no one has ever cultivated a cultivation method, how could there be an internal energy conflict preventing cultivation?

As for the conflict of martial soul attributes, that's nonsense. Tang San's own descendants all have different martial souls, and they still train them.

Based on Tang San's memories, he had already studied it and could only say that it truly lived up to its reputation as a Taoist technique. Like the Vajra Longevity Technique, it truly emphasized following the natural way. Both were created in accordance with the natural circulation of Qi within the body, without any method that went against the natural flow of Qi.

Therefore, it is very versatile, as long as you don't practice it in a way that is different from other exercises or switch routes back and forth. This is also why it cannot be practiced together with Vajra Longevity Exercise.

If you're used to walking on damp, shady paths, suddenly having to walk on a dry desert trail can be quite uncomfortable for your body.

"Therefore, you can only choose one book to cultivate now." Zhu Wu said, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

"Brother Tian, ​​I choose the Longevity Technique," Ning Rongrong said without hesitation.

Zhu Wu immediately raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Ning Rongrong was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tian, ​​is there any other limitation to this technique?"

"A little," Zhu Wu said. "Soul power cultivation, to put it simply, is about drawing spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body and then transforming it into soul power."

"Since this longevity technique is practiced at night, while drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the essence of the stars and moon, it inevitably introduces the cold and damp energy from the air. Therefore, if one's physical strength is average, the cultivation time will be affected in the early stages because one will be unable to resist the cold and damp energy. In addition, if the cold and damp energy enters the body and is not eliminated in time, it will cause damage to the body."

"Huh? What should we do then?" Ning Rongrong asked subconsciously.

Since Zhu Wu presented her with this cultivation technique and pointed out its shortcomings, she felt that there must be a solution.

"My martial soul and Brother Tian's martial soul both possess the fire attribute, so our physical bodies naturally have corresponding characteristics," Long Ling'er said with a smile.

"However, I don't want to leave Brother Tian every night."

Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed red instantly.

Zhu Wu remained calm and waited quietly.

A moment later, Ning Rongrong's clear voice came from behind her head, which was slightly lowered, "Brother Tian, ​​I still think the Longevity Exercise is more suitable for me."

Zhu Wu nodded, put his arm around her slender waist, and said, "Rongrong, take this Xuan Tian Gong manual. Didn't you say you wanted to go home today?"

"Then let's go back tomorrow. We can take this manual back to your father as a betrothal gift."

Ning Rongrong's body trembled, her pretty face turned even redder, and she lowered her head even further, responding in a voice barely audible, "Mmm."

"As for the Longevity Technique, it is a closely guarded secret of our Beast Illusion Sect, and only internal members can practice it," Zhu Wu continued.

Ning Rongrong naturally understood what she meant and nodded gently, "I understand."

"Alright, Rongrong, go sit on the sofa." Zhu Wu released his hand. "There is no secret manual for the Longevity Technique. It can only be taught by the sect leader or the elder who imparts the technique. As the young sect leader, I also have this right. Later, I will guide the soul power through your meridians by entering your body. You must remember it carefully. From now on, you can follow this route to circulate your soul power when you cultivate at night."

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded, stood up, and followed Zhu Wu to the sofa. Upon arrival, she placed the two booklets on the table next to her, moved onto the sofa, and sat cross-legged.

Zhu Wu quickly sat down in the back.

Before long, the transfer of power ended. With the help of the Eye of Destiny, Zhu Wu helped Ning Rongrong open up her eight extraordinary meridians. He then took back the so-called Longevity Technique manual that was on the table and picked up the Mysterious Heaven Technique manual next to him, handing it to Ning Rongrong.

After Ning Rongrong put the device into her soul tool, she called out, and the three of them went to the balcony and sat down to cultivate in the moonlight.

An hour later, Ning Rongrong could no longer bear the chill between her brows and stopped practicing the Longevity Technique.

Take a short break and then resume your normal meditation practice.

Two hours later, the lights in the bedroom went out, leaving only the moonlight shining through the window.

The next day, Zhu Wu woke up early as usual, feeling the warm, soft skin all over his body, no less than Nanako's, and carefully pulled his hands out of the octopus-like restraints. Although he hadn't done anything particularly significant, he was in a good mood. He gently shook his sides and got up to dress while murmuring to himself.

Fifteen minutes later, they went downstairs together and took Dugu Yan, who was already waiting in the living room, out for a run.

After finishing his morning practice, Zhu Wu turned to Yan Yan and said, "Yan Yan, go and call your grandfather to the dormitory."

"Okay." Dugu Yan nodded and ran towards Dugu Bo's residence.

Zhu Wu then led the two women directly back to their dormitory.

Before long, everyone gathered. Zhu Wu nodded slightly. "Let's have breakfast first."

After finishing his meal, Zhu Wu turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, give me the Xuan Tian Gong manual first."

"Oh." Ning Rongrong nodded and took out the Xuan Tian Gong manual from her soul tool and handed it over.

Zhu Wu reached out and took it, handing it directly to Dugu Bo. "Elder Dugu, take Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now. Take a look at this cultivation technique on the way, and return it to Rongrong after you've finished. Teach it to Yanyan when you return."

"Yes." Dugu Bo nodded, took the book, and stood up to escort Ning Rongrong away.

Zhu Wu, Long Ling'er, and Dugu Yan then went out to continue their daily training.

A short while later, on a carriage outside the academy.

"There is such a cultivation method." Dugu Bo was shocked. He glanced at Ning Rongrong, whose face was slightly red, and seemed to understand something.

About an hour later, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Dad, Tian asked me to give this to you." Ning Rongrong blushed as she handed the book to Ning Fengzhi.

"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi reached out and took it, flipping through it on the spot. He quickly showed shock, as did Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind him.

After reading it, they exchanged a glance. Ning Fengzhi turned back, closed the book, and said with a smile, "Rongrong, when you get back later, please tell your father to tell Yingtian that your father will do his best to help him collect the necessary medicinal herbs, without taking a single penny."

"With such a betrothal gift, Father certainly cannot be stingy."

Ning Rongrong blushed instantly and drawled out, "Dad."

In the afternoon, Sword Douluo, who had escorted Ning Rongrong back to the academy, returned to Ning Fengzhi's side and couldn't help but say, "Fengzhi, with the strength of the Illusionary Beast Sect, if we let Rongrong marry there, wouldn't my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be..."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand to interrupt, "So what? As long as the sect can survive, these things are secondary."

"Moreover, although this continent seems peaceful on the surface, I've been feeling uneasy lately. The Spirit Hall is unusually quiet; I suspect they've been brewing something all these years."

"Could it be that they intend to take action against the three upper sects?" Sword Douluo couldn't help but ask. "The Clear Sky Sect has retreated into seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lacks successors in this generation, with only Yu Yuanzhen, a Title Douluo, holding the reins. Now, he is also seriously injured and has not yet recovered. It's inevitable that the Spirit Hall will have some ideas."

"However, now that the Illusionary Beast Sect has suddenly appeared, the Spirit Hall will probably not dare to act rashly before it has investigated the matter thoroughly."

"With Rongrong's connection, the Spirit Hall definitely won't dare to touch us before dealing with the Beast Sect," Bone Douluo suddenly said, as if he had just realized something.

"I just hope things will turn out for the better," Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Two months later, at night, outside the Soto City Grand Arena.

"Tianheng, do you still remember me?" A slightly hoarse voice rang out as Yu Xiaogang stepped out of the shadows.

"You are, Uncle?" Yu Tianheng was taken aback, then looked surprised.

"Let's talk privately," Yu Xiaogang said calmly, glancing at Yu Tianheng's teammates behind him.

Yu Tianheng nodded and turned to signal his teammates to go back to the hotel first.

"How is your grandfather now?" Yu Xiaogang asked after the person had walked away.

Yu Tianheng's expression immediately turned serious, and his voice choked with emotion, "Uncle, you know everything?"

Yu Xiaogang simply nodded slightly. "Could you tell me about what happened back then?"

"Of course." Yu Tianheng nodded and began to speak.

With a single claw strike, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, revealing deep bone. He could no longer remain composed.

"Don't worry, Uncle, Grandpa's injuries have almost healed," Yu Tianheng said hurriedly.

"Uncle, where did you hear the news?" he couldn't help but ask.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with a complicated look. "Long Yingtian, the young sect master of the Illusionary Beast Sect, came from the academy I am currently in, which is the Shrek Academy that you just lost to in the Soul Battle. I am their team leader. And the Soul Master who controlled you is my personal disciple."

"He's actually Uncle's disciple." Yu Tianheng was immediately surprised, then said, "To be honest, Uncle, Long Yingtian is currently in our Tiandou Royal Academy's second team."

Compared to Tang San, the matters between the Beast Illusion Sect and other sects are clearly more important.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly upon learning that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had been visited.

"To be honest, my nephew's rapid breakthrough to the Soul Master realm is partly due to his efforts." Yu Tianheng's expression was complicated. Although Long Yingtian had taken Dugu Yan away, which reduced the team's overall strength, the training plan that he agreed to let the team execute had indeed greatly benefited him.

However, if Yanzi were here, the team wouldn't have lost to Shrek Academy in that battle, he thought to himself.

"Oh?" Yu Xiaogang looked surprised. "How so?"

Yu Tianheng immediately revealed the training plan that Long Yingtian had given to the academy.

"So that's how it is!" Yu Xiaogang murmured.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Tianheng, I do know some information about the Illusionary Beast Sect. When you get back, you can tell your grandfather." As he spoke, he told Yu Tianheng the information he knew.

Yu Tianheng, the "half-god," turned pale.

I won't go into too much detail about the Soto City storyline.
