In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

All the leaves fell to the ground, but Lan Ji remained untouched by them.

"Zhu Qing, did you see it clearly?" Lan Si asked Zhu Zhu Qing.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and shook her head with a wry smile.

Lan Si smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, this kind of thing is easy to understand once you grasp it. I will teach you step by step later. Next, I will demonstrate the second self-created soul skill for you, Eagle Claw Kung Fu."

As he spoke, Lan Si formed claws with both hands and swung them at the tree trunk. Instantly, the trunk was left with a series of ferocious and terrifying claw marks. Zhu Zhuqing was dazzled by the sight. Lan Si had such power with just his bare hands. What would happen if he were to combine them with the claws of the Netherworld Cat?

"Similarly, Lingling has also prepared two sets of self-created soul skills for you. They are Meteor Step, which is more speed-oriented, and Grappling Hand, which is more defense-oriented. You are a support-type soul master, and combat is not your forte. Meteor Step can improve your speed to a certain extent, while Grappling Hand can help you maneuver around the enemy and buy time to escape."

Back in the world of Bad Guys in his previous life, during the Tongwen Hall period, Lan Si had dabbled in many martial arts techniques that Li Keyong called amateurish. In that world where realm was paramount, they could not help you break through, and were not as powerful as the moves that came with top-level techniques such as the Supreme Qiankun Technique.

However, it has a huge advantage: it does not require any specific cultivation technique; as long as one has internal energy, one can use it.

This was perfect for Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, who had never practiced any martial arts techniques.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Shrek Meets Me Again - I Love Rabbit Meat

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Lan Si did not engage in any group spirit battles. Every day, after completing two-person and one-person spirit battles with Ye Lingling, he would take Ye Lingling and the kitten to the grove outside Soto City to cultivate. As for Zhu Zhuqing, thanks to the healing power of Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia, she cultivated to an almost reckless degree.

Even with Shrek Academy's group battles at night, Zhu Zhuqing didn't get a single break.

This made even Lan Si feel somewhat inferior.

Thus, after a month of arduous training, although the three's soul power did not increase significantly, their basic strength improved considerably. Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, underwent a near-qualitative transformation in strength after learning the Butterfly Step and Eagle Claw Technique, and in the following month of one-on-one and two-on-two soul battles, she was almost undefeated.

"Wow, Zhu Qing, I've noticed you've become so much stronger lately. Few of the great soul masters in the Soul Arena can match you." Ning Rongrong, who had just won a two-on-one soul battle with Zhu Zhu Qing, exclaimed while holding Zhu Zhu Qing's arm.

"Is that so...? Maybe it's because I've been fighting a lot lately, and practice makes perfect," Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head and replied dismissively.

"Really?" Ning Rongrong looked suspicious. Zhu Zhuqing's sudden increase in strength was completely unexpected. If there was any warning, it was after she met Lan Si. For the past month, Zhu Zhuqing had been missing every morning, and sometimes she even stayed out all night. She could only be seen at night when they were fighting.

She guessed that Zhu Zhuqing's growth into strength must be inextricably linked to Lan Si.

"Alright, let's go in. Master and the others must be getting impatient." Zhu Zhuqing skipped over the previous topic and walked towards the private room where Shrek Academy was located.

Regarding the Butterfly Step and Eagle Claw Technique, Zhu Zhuqing knew how attractive they were to ordinary Soul Masters in the Soul Master world. There were no requirements for Martial Soul; as long as one had Soul Power, anyone could cultivate them. Even a support-type Soul Master could gain a certain amount of attack power.

If word got out, the Soul Master world would definitely be thrown into turmoil. Zhu Zhuqing didn't want Lan Si to become the target of public criticism, so she wouldn't reveal anything, even though Ning Rongrong was her friend, before getting Lan Si's permission.

Ning Rongrong said "Oh" and followed closely behind. On the surface, she remained calm, but in reality, she became more and more suspicious. It wasn't that she suspected Lan Si had taught Zhu Zhuqing to create her own soul skill, which was beyond her current understanding. Rather, she suspected that Zhu Zhuqing had been specially trained by Lan Si. After all, Lan Si himself was so strong, so his cultivation methods certainly wouldn't be bad.

"What's wrong with everyone?" As soon as the two entered the private room, they noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Everyone's expression was terribly solemn, including Dai Mubai, who was at odds with Zhu Zhuqing. Ning Rongrong asked subconsciously.

Yu Xiaogang didn't answer directly, but tapped the package on the table and said with a serious expression, "Zhuqing, Rongrong, you're here. Please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing nodded and sat down on the edge of the long sofa near the corner of the room. Zhu Zhuqing sat on the outside, Ning Rongrong sat on the inside, and Oscar sat next to Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, how's the battle going?" Oscar asked Ning Rongrong with a smile.

"Of course we'll win, with me and Zhu Qing on the field." Ning Rongrong said smugly.

Just like in the original novel, Oscar is still pursuing Ning Rongrong, but Ning Rongrong is always carefully maintaining the distance between them because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stipulates that direct disciples cannot have partners who are support-type Soul Masters.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's see who your opponents are today." Yu Xiaogang swept his imposing gaze over the Shrek Seven Devils, opened the package on the table, revealing a stack of documents. Everyone took a closer look, including the self-important Tang San, and couldn't help but gasp.

The information is as follows:

The Royal Fighting Team consists of eight members, seven of whom possess all-silver Fighting Spirit Badges, and one of whom possesses a gold Fighting Spirit Badge.

Captain: Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 39 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Vice Captain: Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Level 38 Control-type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Graphite, Martial Soul: Black Tortoise, Level 38 Defensive Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Xuanwu Turtle, Level 37 Defensive Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Yu Feng, Martial Soul: Wind Chime Bird, Level 36 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Oslo, Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard, Level 36 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Ye Lingling, Martial Soul: Nine-Hearted Begonia, Level 35 Support-type Weapon Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two yellow and one purple.

"Everyone, take a look." Yu Xiaogang distributed the information to the Shrek Seven Devils.

After reading the text, the Seven Devils looked at each other, their eyes filled with seriousness. Only Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless. When she saw the name Ye Lingling, she had already given up hope for this battle. Only she knew how much Lan Si hated Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Dai Mubai. He would never miss an opportunity to prove them wrong.

When the data was handed to Ning Rongrong, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Master, didn't this say there were eight people? Why are there only seven people's data?"

A glint of excitement and fighting spirit flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. "There's another possibility that you might be more interested in."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang handed over another document from his pocket.

Team member: I love eating rabbit meat. Martial Soul: Unknown as it has never been used in Soul Battles. Soul Rings: Two yellow and one purple. Soul Power: Level 33.

"It's him..." Upon seeing the words "I love eating rabbit meat," Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"What, Rongrong, do you know him?" Yu Xiaogang asked with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, noticing her cold gaze. After a moment's thought, she swallowed hard and said, "I...I don't know him. I just saw him defeat Xiao Wu a month ago and became curious about him."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong mention that I Love Rabbit Meat defeated Xiao Wu, both Tang San and Xiao Wu were filled with rage. Tang San, in particular, was even tempted to kill. For the past month, I Love Rabbit Meat had been haunting him, keeping him up at night, all in the hope of encountering him in the Soul Arena and avenging Xiao Wu.

Now I can finally have the place I wanted.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, not paying much attention, and said in a deep voice, "According to the rules of team battles, each team has a maximum of ten people and a minimum of seven people. During the battle, the number of participants on both sides is determined by the number of participants from the side with fewer people. You only have seven people, so your opponents will be chosen from seven of these eight people."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Tang San: "Xiao San, this martial soul of mine who loves to eat rabbit meat is extremely special. Although he has not participated in many group battles and has hardly ever made a move, I believe that his threat is no less than that of Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team. If he goes on the field, you will need to deal with him personally."

P.S.: Second update. Bonus chapter today? No, maybe tomorrow.

"I will. If my teacher dares to step onto the stage, I will show him what cruelty is. Daring to harm Xiao Wu is unforgivable." Tang San was full of confidence. With his external soul bone, he didn't care about a mere Soul Master, let alone a Soul Grandmaster.

"Third brother."

"Xiao Wu".

Upon hearing that Tang San wanted to avenge her, Xiao Wu immediately looked at him with deep affection, their eyes meeting, filled with tenderness.

Seeing this scene, while everyone in the private room exclaimed that Tang San and Xiao Wu were showing off their affection, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes. Zhu Zhuqing shook her head at Ning Rongrong, indicating that she should pretend she didn't know.

Ning Rongrong nodded and had no choice but to agree. However, she was not one to enjoy defeat. Facing the Royal Fighting Team, she pointed out the importance of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul to everyone, just like in the original story.

"I never imagined that there was such a magical martial soul in the world." After listening to Ning Rongrong's story about the Nine Heart Begonia, Yu Xiaogang, who had never heard of such a martial soul before, was completely stunned. With such a perfect combination existing, the Shrek Seven Devils' chances of winning were extremely slim.

"We can win."

Just as morale was low, Tang San's loud voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

"While the opponent is indeed powerful, Mu Bai, Xiao Ao, Fatty, Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and Zhu Qing, have you forgotten? We've already achieved a 27-game winning streak in team battles. We have Mu Bai's top-tier offensive martial soul, Xiao Ao's sustained combat support, Fatty's incredibly powerful flames, Xiao Wu's superb soft skills, and Rong Rong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, hailed as the continent's number one support martial soul. And then there's Zhu Qing; I think everyone has witnessed Zhu Qing's strength recently. Even I, at the same level of soul power, can't win as easily as before. With so many advantages, what are we afraid of?"

"I believe we can win. Besides, even if we lose, so what? We can always win again next time. The overall age of the Royal Fighting Team will definitely be older than ours. I firmly believe that we may lose to a Soul Master team that is older than us, but we will never lose to our peers, because we are all monsters."

Tang San's words completely ignited the confidence in everyone's hearts. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who knew Lan Si was powerful and had no hope for this battle, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately echoed his words.

Ma Hongjun said excitedly, "Third Brother is right. We are all monsters. We will definitely win. So what if they are the Royal Fighting Team? Watch my Evil Fire Phoenix burn them into hairless pigs."

Dai Mubai also stood up and patted Tang San on the shoulder, "Yes, Xiao San is right, we can win."

Although Zhu Zhuqing had already parted ways with him, and Dean Flander had even hinted that he shouldn't try anything with Zhu Zhuqing during his studies.

But Dai Mubai saw hope in Tang San to defeat Davis. With Tang San around, once he defeated Davis, what woman wouldn't he want?

At worst, when he inherits the throne, he can just choose a woman from the Zhu family to be his empress. After all, the Zhu family is only responsible for breeding for his Dai family.

At that time, what about Zhu Zhuqing? What about Lan Si?

They would all be trampled under her feet, at her mercy. She could kill them however she wanted, especially the thought of kneading Zhu Zhuqing in front of Lan Si, galloping on horseback, filled Dai Mubai with excitement, and a sinister glint flashed in the depths of his evil eyes.

"Teacher, please leave this battle of spirits entirely to me." Tang San nodded emphatically, looking at Yu Xiaogang with a firm gaze, his words filled with three parts request and seven parts unquestionable assertion.

Yu Xiaogang would naturally not refuse his most valued disciple. His eyes flashed with fighting spirit. He immediately added some more information and then handed over the tactics entirely to Tang San for deployment.

The captain of the Royal Fighting Team, Yu Tianheng, is his nephew, and his martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is the pride of their clan.

He was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan because his martial soul mutated into Luo Sanpao and he failed to awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Today, his disciple Tang San faced off against his disciple, who was hailed as the most outstanding young generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

He firmly believed that Tang San, the disciple he had personally trained, who possessed twin martial souls, external soul bones, and the ability to absorb a third soul ring beyond his age limit, would definitely be able to lead the Shrek Seven Devils to victory over the Royal Fighting Team.

At that time, he will show everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan that he, Yu Xiaogang, is not a waste. Even if he bears the name of a waste and is despised by the world, with Tang San, a disciple nurtured by the theory of invincibility, he, Yu Xiaogang, will eventually be admired and respected by the world, becoming a true master of his generation...

Before long, after Tang San finished arranging the tactics, Ning Rongrong couldn't wait to pull Zhu Zhuqing out of the private room.

"Zhuqing, what do you plan to do if Lan Si participates in this Soul Battle?" Ning Rongrong asked seriously.

After spending more than four months together, Ning Rongrong was no longer the spoiled and willful young lady she once was. She gradually immersed herself in the Shrek Academy community. In particular, Tang San's words had ignited the passion in Ning Rongrong's heart. Although she had a fairly good impression of Lan Si, the two had only met once. Moreover, she was a genius with an innate competitive spirit. How could she be willing to admit defeat to Lan Si's Royal Fighting Team?

If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't stopped her, she would have almost revealed that Lan Si was the one who "loves to eat rabbit meat." After all, Lan Si's shameless soul skill could very well be the key to whether Shrek Academy could win.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing released Ning Rongrong's hand and looked her up and down again. For the first time, she felt that the other person was very unfamiliar to her. Was this still the Ning Rongrong she knew?

After a while, Zhu Zhuqing's expression gradually turned as cold as ever, almost the same as when she treated Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai.

She said in a deep voice, "Whether or not A-Si appears, I will do my best." A long time ago, Lan Si told her that if one day the Shrek team met his Royal Fighting team, she should not hold back and should go all out. She should treat it as a test for both sides. As long as she had Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, she would not have to worry about whether he would get injured.

Zhu Zhuqing definitely couldn't bring herself to hurt Lan Si; she wouldn't have the heart to do it. But if she had the chance to defeat Lan Si in a spirit battle, she would still yearn for the satisfaction of conquering her man, even though it seemed almost impossible at the moment.

She hoped that one day she would have the strength to protect Lan Si, instead of being protected by Lan Si all the time. For this reason, she had been working hard to cultivate and never dared to slack off.

This is Zhu Zhuqing.

A strong girl who dares to challenge fate because of Lan Si.
