Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

only……

Lu Matou felt a little itchy. He clearly remembered that he went back to bed before logging off, with the purpose of being in a good state when he logged back on to explore the main storyline. Who knew that as soon as he logged on, the main storyline was already underway.

But what about the process? There's no CG animation at all?

The save screen appeared, showing two lonely save files.

The first is the quick save area, which is on the bed, during the time he logged off.

The second is three days later in the game, when Ning Rongrong is preparing to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

I don't know why this save file exists.

But he ignored that for now and saved a third file.

Next, open the character panel.

Ning Rongrong, 12 years old, Level 30, Great Soul Master

[Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda (+1)]

[Physical fitness level 12, mental strength level 26]

[Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow]

The character panel only has a few simple lines of text, and there isn't even basic life energy.

The status bar at the bottom of the game was not obscured, and Lu Ma clearly noticed that the two long bars, one red and one blue, were exactly the same as yesterday, except that they no longer had specific numbers.

Okay, okay, so this is the solution to getting injured by hitting a wall, right?

"Phew—let's give it a try. It's rare to get into the main storyline, what if we can beat them?"

For Lu Ma, a player, challenging opponents of higher levels is commonplace, and he's done things like opening doors and touching trees to trigger powerful bosses before.

To continue the game, he immediately executed a perfect dodge, leaping up to avoid not only the shockwave but also his teammate's vines.

"Phew, my teammates are interfering with my actions?"

Lu Ma is a bit unbelievable.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was alright, Tang San withdrew the vines and focused on attacking Zhao Wuji.

Lu Ma controlled Ning Rongrong to unleash two more soul skills.

With his three teammates attacking, his role seemed to be just to apply buffs, and he didn't do much in the later battles, so Lu Ma had some time to observe Zhao Wuji's health bar.

Watching the three of them fling the enlarged Zhao Wuji into the air and unleash a flurry of attacks, it looked impressive, but in reality, less than a third of the incense had burned, and his health bar only fluctuated slightly.

Not to mention, when Zhao Wuji started using his soul skill, a long white bar suddenly appeared below the red health bar.

The damage dealt by teammates was transferred to the white bar below, and the white bar is constantly regenerating.

Lu Ma immediately realized what was happening.

This is a common shield bar in games, and it's the type he hates the most—

The shield bar will regenerate.

This shield bar tests DPS; as long as you don't deal more damage than the shield regenerates per unit of time, it's impossible to defeat the BOSS.

These shield bars are usually used to force players to spend money...

Chapter 11 Reversal Soul Skill

Clearly, the damage caused by the three attacks has not exceeded the shield bar's recovery amount.

Seeing that the three teammates on his right were starting to look bad, and seeing Tang San carry Xiao Wu to his side, Lu Ma thought quickly.

Should I treat this part of the story as a plot device to kill off the protagonist?

In the original story, the four of them were initially defeated, but Tang San defeated Zhao Wuji by using Tang Sect techniques in a one-on-one fight.

In other words, although I am weak now, it does not hinder the progress of the main storyline. But if this happens, will I miss any Easter eggs?

Some games place Easter eggs in strange and unusual places.

Moreover, Zhao Wuji has a health bar above his head.

The previous evil spirit girl didn't even have a health bar appearing above her head before the story started, but this time a health bar appeared before the story started.

Is there a possibility...

The key lies in one's third soul skill?

Just as the cutscene was about to start, Lu Ma had a sudden inspiration and selected ESC to return to the save/load screen.

After thinking about it, I chose the save file where Ning Rongrong left the sect.

Intuition tells Lu Ma that this save file came with the patch, so it must be very useful, for example—

Fixed a bug where the main storyline wouldn't trigger automatically.

After all, he had talked about this with Dolphin Head yesterday.

But in Ning Rongrong's eyes:

The sky is falling!

Four days passed after he ran away from home, a full four days, before he was certain that he wouldn't be controlled and came to Shrek Academy.

I reached the fourth level without any pressure, and then I encountered this problem.

Her father seemed to have told her that the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda needed to protect themselves, but she didn't listen.

Then this incredibly strong man in front of her taught her a lesson. The shockwave was clearly aimed at her. Her companions all jumped over the shockwave, but she was left standing there, terrified.

……

This isn't the worst thing.

To make matters worse, she discovered that her body was no longer under her control.

The stillness of time confirms that the guy has returned!

The exorcism joke flashed through her mind, and she couldn't utter a single word.

As she watched the surroundings recede into the past, she boarded the carriage and returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Rongrong's mind was blank.

"Hmm... let's go to Soto."

What? This is just starting over!

Ning Rongrong is going crazy.

In her eyes, Lu Ma was just repeating her actions.

Actually, Ning Rongrong misunderstood.

Lu Ma originally planned to find a forest to hunt soul beasts.

Soul rings, well, they're usually obtained by hunting soul beasts, right? Although even Ning Rongrong, a support-type character, would probably find it difficult to do so.

But sacrifice, divine gift, condensation...

He felt that he had even less access to these methods.

But when he accidentally opened the character panel again, he discovered that the Martial Soul section was actually clickable.

The first, second, and third floors of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda each have a small sphere next to them, and the spheres all emit light.

When you move the mouse closer:

Reverse the first soul skill (consumes 1/1 of a Holy Spirit Pill)

Reverse the second soul skill (consumes 2/1 of the Holy Spirit Pill, insufficient).

To acquire the third soul skill (hunting soul beasts; or consume 1/3 of a Holy Spirit Pill, if insufficient).

Oh, so that's how the Holy Spirit Pill is used.

Out of curiosity, he directly reversed his first soul skill.

The brand-new first soul skill, Circle, is surrounded by black energy.

[First Soul Skill: Power Amplification]

[Can provide a 45% increase to the Strength attribute of a designated unit]

[Reversal First Soul Skill: Trapped Beast]

[Can absorb 45% of the power of a designated unit to enhance itself. This power can be used a maximum of two times, with one less use for each successful hit.]

[Special Effect: Has a direct suppression effect on soul beasts with soul rings less than twice their age.]

[Soul Ring Age Limit: 1400 years (will automatically disguise itself)]

Lu Ma was satisfied with the result.

With this first reversal soul skill, he can more easily obtain his third soul ring, and he also has a certain attack capability.

So he decided to go directly to Soto City and have a match with Zhao Wuji.

There was another reason: Lu Ma had no idea where to obtain spirit rings. He didn't know how to get to either Sunset Forest or Star Dou Great Forest. Going to the sect's library would take too long, so it was better to go to Star Dou Great Forest with the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Let's go to Soto."

Ning Rongrong was talking to the driver. Although the driver was a little nervous, he still drove off.

Ning Rongrong pondered for a long time what the person controlling her really wanted to do.

It wasn't until she noticed that he had taken out the pill and "fed" it to his martial soul, and then saw his first soul ring turn purple and then disguise itself as yellow, that he realized what she had done.

-

After watching a roughly 10-second cutscene that showed Ning Rongrong's journey from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to entering the fourth exam, the computer screen went dark again, followed by familiar text.

[Immovable King, Zhao Wuji, Level 76 Soul Saint]

"Ning Rongrong will support the three of us, Xiao Wu will be the main attacker, I will control the situation, and Zhu Zhuqing will be on the flank."

Tang San was organizing things from the front.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After a stick of incense had burned, Ning Rongrong summoned her martial spirit.
