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

The commotion on my back grew louder and louder, as if it were releasing a powerful pressure.

That's really domineering.

Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

At the same time, the commotion on Tang San's back not far away subsided, and the ferocious energy in the spirit ring seemed to sense something and gradually calmed down.

Even his ferocious face relaxed for once.

Tang San's aura gradually grew stronger, and he successfully absorbed his third spirit ring!

"Little dance!"

As soon as he regained consciousness, Tang San stood up and shouted.

The sound was so loud that many birds on the branches flew away.

When Tang San calmed down, he noticed two figures approaching from not far away, one of whom was Xiao Wu.

Overjoyed, Tang San hurried over, and the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking in Tang San's direction, their faces displayed a range of emotions: astonishment, delight, and relief.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong are back, which is really unexpected.

Xiao Wu and Tang San hugged each other, while Ning Rongrong walked to the side, looking at her companions who had gathered around, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Zhao Wuji said with a smile.

Chapter 38 tells the story of two soul beasts vying for supremacy.

Lake of Life, inside the Silver Dragon King's Palace.

The doll had shed Ning Rongrong's appearance; now she had knee-length silver hair and wore a magnificent silver dress with dragon patterns faintly visible on the hem. Her clear purple eyes revealed a hint of worry.

She sat on the crystal coffin.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to leave, she took it upon herself to secretly feed the Eight Spider Spears a drop of silver dragon blood. Under the influence of the silver dragon blood, the Eight Spider Spears will evolve. At the same time, she will be able to observe Ning Rongrong and everything happening around her when the Eight Spider Spears are activated, and she can also use the Eight Spider Spears to have a mental conversation with Ning Rongrong.

Her true purpose was to use this opportunity to get closer to the Holy Spirit, which was a kind of overstepping of boundaries. She didn't know if this would displease the Holy Spirit.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

-

"Although there were some minor mishaps on this trip to the Starry Sky Forest, overall the harvest was quite fruitful."

"Following Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, our Shrek Academy has gained two more Soul Master level monsters."

As the group walked back to the academy, Zhao Wuji relaxed and lightly summarized their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu was a little surprised to hear this. She knew Oscar had made a breakthrough, but there was still one more…

She didn't see Tang San absorb the spirit ring; she only assumed that the injuries on Tang San's body were from the battle with the spirit beasts when he was searching for her.

So she asked, "Two?"

Zhao Wuji nodded without turning his head and said, "Xiao Wu, just before you came back, Tang San also absorbed the soul ring of the two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider."

"Human-faced spider! Isn't that the same as Rongrong's?" Xiaowu's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Ning Rongrong.

She seemed to remember that Ning Rongrong's third spirit ring also came from this spirit beast.

Ning Rongrong was still thinking about how to get involved in the third Saintess Ceremony when she saw Xiao Wu looking over, so she nodded.

Tang San noticed this scene, and when he thought that Ning Rongrong's soul ring age was a thousand years higher than his own, he felt jealous. But then, his jealousy was replaced by envy.

Having absorbed the two-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, he certainly knew how difficult this was.

Even now, he still remembers the mutation that occurred on his back during the final stage of absorption.

He touched his back; nothing had grown there. It must have been that ferocious energy that he had suppressed.

As expected, I am still slightly better than the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Then envy was replaced by jealousy.

How could Ning Rongrong absorb three thousand years' worth of energy? It must be because she relies on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind her.

Tang San's gaze towards Ning Rongrong inadvertently carried a hint of hostility.

"Third Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wu noticed Tang San's changing expressions beside her and asked with concern.

"Ah, it's nothing, Xiao Wu." Tang San realized his lapse in composure and quickly shook his head, then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Xiao Wu, why did you and Rongrong come back together?"

Xiao Wu took a deep breath; the question had still been asked.

She turned to look at Ning Rongrong, trying to get Ning Rongrong's opinion.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong had just come up with a plan to call her father and Grandpa Gu to her side first, and then the three of them would use the stone to enter the ritual site together. She was still thinking about how to explain the origin of the stone to her father and Grandpa Gu.

Then she suddenly noticed Xiao Wu's gaze.

Why is Xiao Wu looking at her again? Ning Rongrong was a little confused.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, Ning Rongrong's bewildered reaction meant that she had no objection.

Okay, let's see how well Sister Xiaowu can make up stories.

Xiao Wu mustered her confidence and turned to the others who were intrigued by the question, saying, "I was kidnapped by that Titan Giant Ape, and Ning Rongrong was kidnapped by that... bull-headed snake-bodied soul beast, right? By sheer coincidence, they started fighting after they arrived at their destination, and that's how Rongrong and I were rescued. Luckily, there was a soul beast nearby that had been caught in the crossfire of their battle and was quite weak, and I happened to have reached level 30. With Rongrong's help, we killed that soul beast and absorbed its soul ring."

Ning Rongrong was a little surprised. Did she know about these things?

She didn't know. But it wasn't a big problem; it just so happened that she didn't have to explain her part. As for the Silver Dragon King's palace... she still had some pride; she couldn't bring herself to talk about being beaten for six hours.

So she nodded to the crowd looking at her and said, "That's it."

"Strange, they should be fighting amongst themselves now that they've all reached that level of cultivation."

Zhao Wuji rested his chin on his hand, pouting, clearly puzzled.

"Haha, Teacher Zhao, don't worry about the details. There are conflicts between spirit beasts too, aren't there?"

"Both of these soul beasts seem to be overlords of the forest, so it's not hard to understand why they would clash over the title of overlord. I've seen cases in our sect's archives of two crown princes clashing over the throne, and I think soul beasts are the same."

Ning Rongrong chimed in with a fabricated story. If this story were exposed, she would face even more trouble.

Xiao Wu gave her a thumbs up.

The mouth movements seemed to say, "Sure, Rongrong."

Zhao Wuji couldn't quite grasp it, so he nodded and acknowledged it.

Then, belatedly realizing what he had said, he asked, "Xiao Wu, didn't you just say you absorbed a spirit ring?"

"That's right, Sister Xiaowu is a Soul Master now!"

Xiao Wu pouted her nose.

"Xiao Wu is really amazing," Tang San praised.

"hey-hey."

-

On the morning of the fourth day, after an afternoon and a night of travel, the group finally returned to Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong breathed softly, looking at the panting crowd around her, feeling a little excited.

It should be noted that her current state of fatigue is second only to Zhao Wuji, and similar to that of Dai Mubai and Tang San.

When they went to the Star Dou Great Forest, she was probably the one who got tired the most.

There is no doubt that her physical fitness has improved, and all of this—

It's all thanks to training.

Ning Rongrong became even more curious about the Silver Dragon King who had not yet shown himself, and the Holy God behind the Silver Dragon King.

After Zhao Wuji announced that they would have two days off, Ning Rongrong followed Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing back to the dormitory. The two of them went to bed as soon as they got in, and she followed suit and lay down on the bed as well.

Unlike the other two, Ning Rongrong was simply lying in bed. Perhaps because she had replenished too much life force in the Silver Dragon King's Palace, she was not sleepy at all.

I turned over, trying to clear my mind so I could fall asleep...

Can't do it.

His mind was filled with images of the beating training at the Silver Dragon King's palace and plans to sabotage the Third Saintess Ceremony.

It's the morning of the fourth day, and there's still about a day and a half left.

Ning Rongrong turned over again.

After a while, she turned over twice more intermittently. Listening to the snoring next to her, she sat up impatiently and scratched her hair.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, let's get this sorted out first."

After speaking softly, she got up and left the dormitory.

Target: Soto.

Chapter 39 Master Yu Xiaogang arrives in Soto City

Inside Flander's residence, Flander, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by the noise of the seven little ones returning, but he was not annoyed, only gratified.

His students must have gained a lot.

He thought about it, turned over, and went back to sleep.

-

Soto, early morning.

A middle-aged man of medium build with short black hair parted in a 3/7 ratio finally arrived.

If Tang San were here, he would definitely recognize that this is Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

However, Yu Xiaogang's trip to Soto City was not solely for Tang San. Going to Shrek Academy was merely a side goal. His true target was someone who, it is said, possessed a method to evolve martial souls.

"I've finally found a way to break through level 30."

He was somewhat emotional.

Decades of research to break through level 30 had yielded no results, but in recent months, a method that could bring about a qualitative change in one's martial soul suddenly appeared before him. For Tang San's sake, he had been holding back for several months, and only after Tang San left did he begin to study this theory. The more he studied it, the more he realized its feasibility.
