Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Without Xiao Yan's mental protection, Ning Rongrong's situation might have been far more serious than just a minor oversight. However, if Xiao Yan had used his mental protection...

Ning Rongrong's every move was playing out clearly in Xiao Yan's mind. Even if Xiao Yan closed his eyes, he couldn't stop it. In fact, after closing his eyes, Xiao Yan felt that he could see even more clearly.

'Those two Soul Emperors behind him are truly useless!' In order to divert attention, Xiao Yan began to insult the two Soul Emperors who had noticed his actions and started to move further away.

"When you saw your young lady following a stranger out of the city, couldn't you two have stopped her?"

'If all else fails, sending a threatening letter will do! Do you think I, a mere Soul Venerable, can possibly fight two Soul Emperors head-on…?'

"Besides, there's a vast plain outside Soto. Are you two just going to stand in the middle of the road and back up? You might as well go to the farmland and pretend you're doing farm work!!!"

·

"Are we... a little too obvious? It feels like that Rock Owl has discovered us..."

"What did you find? What's obvious? Are we in Yan Xiao's way? We were just walking normally on the official road!"

Could your tone be any more guilty?

"Then what do you suggest? We can't just use it for running, can we? Wouldn't that make it even more obvious?"

"...How about we try working in the fields on either side?"

"...Maybe you really are a genius!"

·

'They actually went to do farm work...'

Although, according to the mental power movie, Ning Rongrong had already changed her clothes under a tree, looking guilty, less than ten minutes had passed, and Xiao Yan could only silently watch the two Soul Emperors who had landed in the distance.

'These two guys... are really funny...'

It wasn't until fourteen or fifteen minutes had passed that Xiao Yan pretended to be unaware and slightly turned his head away.

Ning Rongrong changed into a pure white dress and stood in the same spot as before, as if she hadn't moved at all during this time.

When Xiao Yan saw Ning Rongrong standing in the middle of the road, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was glad that he hadn't seen something he shouldn't have.

Then, Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards Ning Rongrong.

"Sorry, it took a little longer than expected."

Upon approaching, Xiao Yan first apologized.

"...It's alright, I'll just admire this spirit ring a little longer by myself." Ning Rongrong forced a smile.

"Haha, is that so..." Xiao Yan chuckled dryly.

"However, I didn't expect that soul tool to actually be a soul ring storage device, and it even contained a 100,000-year soul ring."

“Indeed, because I couldn’t find the activation method on this soul tool, I thought it was just an ordinary experimental product and didn’t expect it to succeed, which is why I didn’t install it,” Xiao Yan continued, following Ning Rongrong’s words.

"Using a 100,000-year soul ring for experiments is truly extravagant."

"It must be that the person who hunted the 100,000-year-old soul beast died, and they happened to have this experimental subject in their hands, so they tried to make use of it," Xiao Yan licked his lips, he could roughly deduce this, "And, look at the wear and tear on this deep red shell..."

Xiao Yan picked up the fragment of the deep red shell from the ground and examined it carefully.

"This spirit ring probably appeared several hundred years ago, but it has been preserved until now only because of this spirit tool."

The 100,000-year spirit ring had already shown signs of dissipation. Xiao Yan wasn't too surprised by this, since the deep red outer shell was undoubtedly a mixture of the 100,000-year spirit ring and some kind of special substance. Although he didn't know why it could block the detection of spiritual power, it proved that the spirit ring had been dissipating for a long time.

It was only by chance that they encountered that special substance that they were able to control it and preserve it until now.

'Early stage of the fifth rank... It seems correct. A titled Douluo is a Dou Wang, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast is at the fifth rank level.'

At the same time, Xiao Yan also came to a conclusion about his previous speculation.

Chapter 26

As the only daughter among the many children of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's leader, Ning Rongrong was pampered at home.

The two titled Douluo treated her like a granddaughter, always trying to side with her in many small matters, and occasionally complaining that Ning Rongrong's father was too strict.

In short, Ning Rongrong is a fearless and unruly 'troublemaker' in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This time, she ran away from home because she didn't want to go to that Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Even the seven most talented members of the Heaven Dou Team there might not have had a higher soul power level than her when they were twelve years old, right? And that's with her soul power level being a support-type soul master, whose cultivation is inherently slow!

She, Ning Rongrong, the apple of the eye of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, the most talented little witch in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in a hundred years, why should she go to a place where mediocre people gather?

Of course, the main reason was that she had seen something called "Shrek Academy" in her father's study before, an academy with incredibly arrogant admission requirements but ridiculously simple graduation conditions.

After learning about Shrek Academy and confirming that Soto City was the safest place in the Barak Kingdom for over a year due to the wolf bandit incident a few years ago, Ning Rongrong set off with her small wallet.

There's not much to say about what happened on the way. What interested Ning Rongrong the most was the guy in black robes who was in front of her in line before entering the city.

With the treasure appraisal function of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong keenly sensed that this man in black robes definitely possessed an extremely precious treasure.

I had planned to follow him into the city and buy the treasure he was carrying, but the man was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

Although her first reaction was that the man in black was a criminal, this guess was dispelled when she heard his cold but clearly childish voice.

Incidentally, before being dispersed by the city guards, she also heard the news that the man in black robes was now a three-ring Soul Master.

After that, the boy with the alias "Yan Xiao" refused the recruitment offer from the Cardinal of the Spirit Hall. It was because of this incident that Ning Rongrong learned Yan Xiao's age—ten years old.

A ten-year-old Soul Master?

Impossible, it must be fake, absolutely fake!

Because of this thought, Ning Rongrong followed the man in black robes and then, in a daze, bought what the man in black robes wanted.

I studied it all night but found nothing special. I even overslept the next morning, but luckily it wasn't past 10:30. As for the Shrek Academy entrance exam...

It's okay to be a day late, since the enrollment period is marked as lasting for three days anyway.

Then, because she didn't believe in the existence of soul ring storage devices, she followed the man in black robes to the outskirts of Soto City.

As it turned out, the man in black was right; it was indeed a Soul Ring Storage Device, but the price was quite high—for her.

After changing into new underwear and outer clothes, Ning Rongrong, once her mind was clear, suddenly realized a few things—

Why did I only sense that terrifying aura at the very beginning?

Why didn't "Rock Owl" react excessively?

Why didn't her "protector" appear in time?

If "Rock Owl" helped her isolate the aura of the 100,000-year-old soul ring, then when she changed clothes, wouldn't that mean she was already completely exposed?

Looking at Xiao Yan's profile as he spoke eloquently about the history of the Soul Ring Storage Device, Ning Rongrong's face suddenly flushed.

'I'm angry.'

Feeling the burning sensation on her cheeks, Ning Rongrong said this.

No one understands her own thoughts better than Ning Rongrong.

·

"Can I call you Yan Xiao from now on?"

Just as Xiao Yan finally finished explaining the history of the deep red shell and breathed a sigh of relief, Ning Rongrong suddenly asked a question.

"Um?"

"Oh, of course, no problem, I don't mind."

After taking a little time, Xiao Yan, who now remembered his name was "Yan Xiao," nodded.

'It really is a pseudonym...'

Ning Rongrong pouted, but since he was using a pseudonym, there must be a reason for it, and he wasn't the one in the wrong.

"Rock Owl, are you planning to go to Blazing Fire Academy after this?" he asked cautiously.

"Right, only Blazing Fire Academy is most familiar with fire-attribute martial souls, right?"

Although he couldn't understand why Ning Rongrong suddenly seemed like a different person, she was only asking which academy Xiao Yan wanted to attend, so he had nothing to hide.

"Yes, the academy that understands fire-attribute martial souls the most should be Blazing Fire Academy..." Ning Rongrong said with a hint of resentment, "Do you think they would agree if I wanted to go to Blazing Fire Academy?"

'Why isn't Grandpa Gu's martial soul fire-attribute? No matter how good Blazing Fire Academy is, it can't compare to the instruction of a Title Douluo, right?'

Xiao Yan began to sense something was amiss. Why did Ning Rongrong have such a resentful expression, as if he had abandoned her? Were their relationships really that good? Weren't they just strangers?

To avoid further trouble, Xiao Yan pretended not to understand what Ning Rongrong was saying.

"As long as your martial soul has the fire attribute, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"But my martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

No playing dumb allowed!

Ning Rongrong is very innocent and kind, but at this moment she seemed to have gained mind-reading ability, immediately guessing Xiao Yan's thoughts and directly throwing out her trump card.

"...?" Xiao Yan blinked innocently. "Do disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also need to go out to study?"

Thanks to the fact that Xiao Yan went to school properly when he was six and seven years old, and also read through all the books about Soul Masters in Shanchui City.

Otherwise, if someone were to ask, "What is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" at this moment, the scene would be absolutely wonderful.

"Um..." Ning Rongrong was speechless after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

“That’s right, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School aren’t born Soul Saints, so of course they need to go out and study!” With one sentence, Ning Rongrong dragged all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the mess.

"Then the academy you should choose most, no matter how you look at it, is not Blazing Fire Academy, right?" Xiao Yan felt that Ning Rongrong probably had her eye on him and wanted him to work for that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Canghui Academy specializes in illusion-type martial souls, as well as gem-type martial souls. Wouldn't it be a great choice to go to Canghui Academy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul?"

However, Xiao Yan is the freest person on this Douluo Continent. No one can restrain him. He can go wherever he wants!

"...But you just saw it, didn't you?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still pretending to be stupid, Ning Rongrong unleashed her ultimate move.

"What do you see?"

"I want to change... change my underwear..." Ning Rongrong was still a girl after all, and it was still difficult for her to say this directly.

"Okay, stop. No need to say anything more, I understand!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's behavior and hearing the few words she uttered, Xiao Yan roughly understood what she wanted to say, so he quickly stopped her from speaking out of turn.

“Then…” Ning Rongrong’s face lit up with joy.
