Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 52 Individual Training

After an afternoon of training, the seven people present, excluding Shi Quan, quickly collapsed from exhaustion.

They all complained bitterly, as they had never experienced such a rigorous training method before. If Qin Ming hadn't been there to supervise them, they would have given up long ago.

"What are you yelling about? Did you see Xiao Quan complaining? Wasn't he training with you all? He managed to persevere, and you're all just as strong as him. How dare you yell like that! You have three seconds, all of you, stand up!"

Under Qin Ming's stern reprimand, everyone reluctantly stood up.

"Xiao Quan, do you train like this every day?" Yu Tianheng asked weakly, his hands hanging limply at his sides. He had lost count of how many barbells he had lifted that afternoon.

"More or less," Shi Quan nodded.

He has internal energy cultivation techniques that complement each other, so his training is not as tiring as theirs. Moreover, through years of training, he has become accustomed to such high-pressure training.

"Don't you know what it means to be tired?" Yu Feng asked, his legs trembling as he leaned against the exercise equipment with a mournful face.

Shi Quan waved his hand and laughed, "You'll get used to it eventually."

"..."

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

Instead, Qin Ming said sternly, "All of you, learn from Xiao Quan! Don't you all want to absorb spirit rings beyond your level like Xiao Quan? Physical fitness and willpower are essential factors!"

"think!"

Everyone answered in unison, "Who wouldn't want to absorb a spirit ring that's above their level?"

"That's more like it." Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction and looked at Shi Quan. "Xiao Quan, you tell them about your upcoming cultivation plan."

Shi Quan then said, "Later, I will tailor a unique training plan for each of you based on your martial soul and soul skills. For example, Captain, your martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, has the inherent lightning attribute, so my direction for you is to improve your lightning control ability. For Yanzi, it's about how to use poison flexibly, and so on. This is just a general direction. I will arrange and plan the specific implementation according to your actual situation. However, when making the specific plan, I may need your cooperation. I hope that's alright?"

"no problem."

Everyone responded in unison. Although they hadn't known each other for long, Shi Quan's talents, knowledge, and strength had already earned their recognition.

The scene of Shi Quan's battle with Sword Douluo today is especially etched in everyone's minds.

After training ended in the afternoon, everyone returned to the dormitory and quickly washed up before gathering again in the cafeteria on the first floor.

As for Ning Rongrong, since she would be cultivating here with Shi Quan, Qin Ming simply arranged a room for her in the dormitory as her residence.

Everyone at the dinner table chatted and laughed, as if all the day's hard work had vanished, leaving only enjoyment.

After dinner, Shi Quan still returned to the forest where he practiced his simulated cultivation as usual.

"Wait for me." Ning Rongrong quickly caught up.

Shi Quan asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to rest here?"

Ning Rongrong glared at Shi Quan and said, "All my things are in the dormitory over there. Don't I have to go over and move some things over? Aren't you supposed to be so smart? You can't even figure out something this simple."

Shi Quan waved his hand and replied helplessly, "Alright."

The two walked side by side toward the dormitory.

The evening breeze on the hillside was neither warm nor gentle, especially in such an open area. Walking along the road, a few wisps of cold wind blew, rustling the grass.

"You did very well today." Perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Shi Quan spoke first. Ning Rongrong had been practicing for much longer than usual today, and Shi Quan could tell that she was truly putting her heart into training.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Of course! Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Be careful, or I might accidentally surpass you."

Shi Quan shook his head and chuckled. Ning Rongrong was really not to be praised. Once you praised her, she would feel like she was flying to the sky.

"Hiss, this wind feels a bit chilly today."

A cold wind swept by, and Ning Rongrong shivered. She rubbed her hands together and subconsciously leaned back against Shi Shenquan.

Shi Quan glanced at Ning Rongrong's still slightly damp hair and said, "Who told you to come out with me without even drying your hair?"

"It's all because your training was too tiring. After you showered, all you thought about was eating, and you didn't want to do anything about it." With that, Ning Rongrong angrily punched Shi Quan from behind.

The night wind was already cold, and Ning Rongrong's hair was still wet. If it blew on for a while longer, she might get sick. Thinking of this, Shi Quan shook his head helplessly, turned around and grabbed Ning Rongrong's neck, his inner strength flowing into her body along her smooth neck.

"Walk safely, don't resist. I'll warm you up so you don't get sick and then say I'm bullying you."

"Mmm~" Ning Rongrong felt the warmth on her neck and let out a comfortable moan. As soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it, her face turning red with embarrassment. But she still said in a very proud tone, "Hmph! You've been bullying me all along."

"Yes, yes, yes, who told you to be Miss Ning? You get to decide. Just don't let Senior Sword Douluo come and beat me up for no reason in the future." Shi Quan nodded in agreement.

Ning Rongrong said, "As long as you don't bully me, Grandpa Jian won't beat you up."

"That would be best." Shi Quan nodded.

"That's how it is."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Hmph! You're bullying me again!"

"Where have I bullied you again...?"

"You're just giving me the runaround; aren't you just bullying me?"

"..."

They were having a good chat at first, but then they started bickering. They argued and bickered all the way, but it was still quite harmonious.

"Alright, alright, we're at your dorm. It's chilly tonight, so you can rest here tonight. Remember to dry your hair when you get back," Shi Quan instructed, sounding like an old father.

If you think about it carefully, with his mindset of over thirty years old, isn't it possible that he's facing a ten-year-old girl? If you consider the age difference, it's not like he has no chance.

"Hmph. I know." Ning Rongrong remained haughty and walked into the dormitory without looking back.

The door was slammed shut.

Seeing this, Shi Quan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the simulated cultivation forest at the foot of the mountain.

Inside the room, Ning Rongrong had just closed the door when she pressed her ear against it, listening to the sounds outside. Once she heard that there was no more noise, she sat down against the door, her face flushed. She looked up and touched the back of her neck, feeling the lingering warmth there, which made her face even rosier.

"Hmph, that stinky Shi Quan actually dared to grab my neck." Ning Rongrong clenched her fist and muttered softly.

"But that feeling was really nice. My whole body felt warm and cozy, not cold at all."

Seemingly remembering something, Ning Rongrong covered her face with her hands, "Did he help me that night too?"

When Shi Quan used his internal energy to help Ning Rongrong block the wind, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of familiarity. Only now did she realize that she had felt the same warm feeling in her dream the night she rested with Shi Quan. She had originally thought it was a dream.

It seems that Shi Quan used his soul power to do something for her. No wonder she felt inexplicably comfortable when she woke up that morning. Her legs were not sore or painful, and she felt much more comfortable than after taking a medicinal bath.

"Hmph, this stinky Shi Quan, he doesn't seem so bad after all..."

Ning Rongrong twirled two fingers in front of her chest, and for some reason, the girl's innocent heart skipped a beat.

The next day, early in the morning.

Shi Quan then arrived at the dormitory of the Tian Dou team.

As mentioned yesterday, he planned to use the morning to study the six people's martial spirits and soul skills, and then make further training arrangements based on their physical condition.

This first day began with the strongest, Yu Tianheng.

"Captain, please release your martial spirit and let me see it."

"no problem."

At Shi Quan's signal, the two arrived at the training ground. With a deep dragon roar, three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared. Yu Tianheng's right arm rapidly expanded, and the sleeve of his right arm exploded and turned to ashes.

This is the legendary Qilin Arm...

bah bah bah.

No, it should be called Thunder Dragon Arm.

"These clothes really wear out quickly."

Shi Quan muttered to himself, his gaze falling on Yu Tianheng's dragon arm.

Unlike ordinary Beast Soul Possession, Blue Lightning Tyrant's Possession does not show obvious changes before level 30. It is only after level 30 that the Beast Transformation effect after Beast Soul Possession will appear. Moreover, this change will initially only affect a part of the body, and then add another part every ten levels. This effect is called Dragon Transformation.

Although the changes in dragon transformation are smaller and occur later in the early stages, they are more pronounced compared to beast transformation.

Like Oslo's Ghost Leopard Martial Soul, after the Martial Soul is attached to the body, only the ears change, the fur becomes thicker, and the fingernails on the hands become sharper, making it look somewhat like a Ghost Leopard.

In contrast, Yu Tianheng's dragon transformation is quite different. His arms are now extremely thick and covered with blue-purple scales. His hands have turned into claws, covered with the same scales. Every joint in his hands has become extremely thick, making it impossible to recognize his hands. They look exactly like dragon claws.

This kind of complete beast-like transformation usually only occurs when one uses their Martial Soul True Body, causing them to become completely beast-like and take on such a form.

The Dragon Transformation Innate Realm can appear once you break through level 30, which is a major reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is so powerful.

The description in the original work was ultimately limited. After seeing it in person, Shi Quan had to admit that the dragon claw was indeed visually striking. In particular, the blue-purple electric snakes coiling around the entire dragon arm, constantly gathering or flowing across it, brought the visual impact to its peak.

"There's a reason why they're strong."

After regaining his composure, Shi Quan had Yu Tianheng release his three soul skills one after another. After a detailed inquiry, he finally let Yu Tianheng go and began to devise a plan for him.

He must achieve some results in the training program for the six people in order to convince Dugu Bo more in terms of martial spirit theory.
