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

The master frowned and said, "I don't want to explain a second time. Dai Mubai, do you really think you can beat Ning Rongrong? Let me tell you, Ning Rongrong is stronger than you think."

Before Dai Mubai could explain anything, Ning Rongrong interrupted, "Dai Mubai, let's begin."

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was the same, Dai Mubai lowered his head, then looked at Ning Rongrong, nodded, and said, "Let's begin."

Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai kept a certain distance from each other, and the others also kept a certain distance from the battle.

Flander, Zao Wou-Ki, and three academy teachers, although they were not very familiar with the master's arrangements, respected his decision and watched silently from the sidelines.

Ning Rongrong stared at Dai Mubai, thinking of a strategy to deal with him.

She's currently invincible among her peers, let alone easily defeating weaker opponents.

However, in order to save trouble and to ensure that the master could be successfully brought down by her, she felt that there was no need to use some of her abilities.

Her gaze swept over the people on the field.

To be honest, she could have dealt with all six of them using the same method—a trapped beast.

The amplified beast's counterattacks were even more powerful than its opponent's attacks. Not to mention, these counterattacks could be used four times.

She was confident that she could take down all six people present with just two soul skills.

As for whether she could handle it, which everyone was worried about, Ning Rongrong thought it was utter nonsense.

Without Tang San using the Zhuge Crossbow, she felt that he could easily withstand those attacks.

So, will Tang San use the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?

She didn't think so. If Tang San were even slightly sensible, he would know that doing so would directly confirm his plan to assassinate Ning Rongrong.

Battle is imminent.

Dai Mubai had already unleashed his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and was attacking Ning Rongrong with his two tiger claws waving.

Ning Rongrong calmly stretched out her fair hands and held them in front of her.

Although the injuries on her hands had healed, the bandages were still there because she was too lazy to untie them. Ning Rongrong, who wasn't being manipulated, wasn't sure if her injuries had actually healed, since her body was frequently involved in battles.

Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to attack Ning Rongrong and reopen her wounds, the younger members in the audience held their breath. Zhu Zhuqing, the most ruthless, stared at Dai Mubai as if to say, "If you really leave a wound, you're dead." Of course, Dai Mubai was unaware of this.

When Dai Mubai saw Ning Rongrong's hand, he felt a mix of emotions.

He had the best view of Ning Rongrong's hands. During the attack, he suddenly felt a pang of reluctance and slowed down, closing his eyes as he couldn't bear to see the outcome...

"No, why have you slowed down?"

Ning Rongrong was very dissatisfied to see that her opponent had slowed down, and stepped forward to intercept the attack. Dai Mubai, on the other hand, felt his speed decrease just as he was about to touch Ning Rongrong. His claws were limp and powerless, as if something was preventing him from attacking Ning Rongrong.

Your health: 94%

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue. The damage was too little. She wondered if Dai Mubai hadn't used his full strength from the start, but that didn't matter. She activated the poison amplification on herself, and the power absorbed by the trapped beast was fed back to her hand. Then, she grabbed Dai Mubai's wrist and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

[-15%!]

It was incredibly tragic.

Even those not on the field could see that Ning Rongrong had the advantage in this round.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then she had the same thought as the others—Ning Rongrong's method of using someone else's strength against them seemed to have become much more proficient.

The master was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen Ning Rongrong use the technique of using an opponent's force against them. He hadn't thought much of it when Tang San described it before, but now, combined with Tang San's statement that this technique was also effective against hidden weapons, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Back on the field.

It wasn't until his body made intimate contact with the ground that Dai Mubai realized what had happened.

Ning Rongrong has a strong grip.

The master's words seem to make some sense. I underestimated Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai stood up, looked at Ning Rongrong, and dusted himself off.

He was treating Ning Rongrong like a real opponent, saying, "Rongrong, I won't hold back from now on, so watch out."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong also perked up.

The opponent continued charging forward, waving its claws, but without slowing down.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat disappointed and shook her head. She had thought it was some other skill, like the White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave, but now—

Your health: 81%

—Isn't it exactly the same as before?

Thinking it over, Ning Rongrong used the same trick again and threw him over her shoulder.

"boom--"

Dai Mubai's body slammed heavily to the ground, and a red number 【-47%】 floated above his head.

Chapter 61 1v6, the second and third matches

Ning Rongrong stared at the red text, then looked at her hand and said, "So the power absorbed by this ability can be stacked?"

She clearly felt her buffs; the power converted from the first attack had two uses left, and the power converted from the second attack had three uses left. She might have felt this before, but she hadn't paid any attention to it.

Dai Mubai collapsed to the ground, and after a moment of stunned silence, the master said, "That's enough."

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong pulled Dai Mubai up, as she was uncomfortable with someone lying on the field.

Amidst pitying glances, Dai Mubai was helped off the stage by Oscar and Ma Hongjun, while at the same time, Dai Mubai didn't forget to give a thumbs up.

The master coughed twice as he watched this scene, and continued, "Knowing that the other party has a technique of using their own strength against them, yet still acting so recklessly, what kind of behavior is this!"

Dai Mubai secretly rolled his eyes at the master, thinking to himself, "If you were to go up against him, you'd know how underhanded this move is."

In just two rounds, he truly felt Ning Rongrong's terror.

This tactic of using someone else's strength against them is not usually noticeable; you only discover it when you launch an attack.

Using that method, not only would it be difficult to inflict effective damage on Ning Rongrong, but one would also see their own strength being returned to them tenfold.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he hurriedly called for Oscar: "Little Oscar, quickly give me the antidote!"

He didn't feel poisoned, but suddenly remembered the effect of Ning Rongrong's third soul skill—it was clearly a soul skill that could poison him. After realizing this, he sensed his surroundings again and found that black spots had appeared on the areas of his wrist where Ning Rongrong had touched him.

Tang San felt a chill run down his spine. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see clearly. So far, he had witnessed Ning Rongrong use this technique of using an opponent's force against them four times: during Zhao Wuji's test, in the Great Soul Arena, the assassination attempt, and now. Previously, he had only roughly grasped the logic of this move, but today, seeing Ning Rongrong's over-the-shoulder throw, Tang San suddenly had a sense of déjà vu—

Isn't this similar to the Crane Control and Dragon Capture? The Crane Control and Dragon Capture also has a similar effect of using the opponent's force against them. The difference between this move and Ning Rongrong's move is that Ning Rongrong sacrificed herself to inflict greater damage.

Thinking of the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique, Tang Sanshun went through all the other Tang Clan techniques, trying to find a way to deal with Ning Rongrong. After all, during the assassination attempt, his soul skills and hidden weapon techniques were exposed. If he wanted to continue to maintain his disguise, he could only rely on the Tang Clan techniques.

While Oscar was curing Dai Mubai's poison, the master glanced at the five people who hadn't yet taken the stage.

He first looked at Tang San, who shook his head, indicating that he wanted to observe further.

After scanning the area, he said in a deep voice, "Zhu Zhuqing, step forward!"

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing stood opposite Ning Rongrong. After a long while, she spoke, "Rongrong, be careful."

Ning Rongrong wasn't in a good mood either. She felt that it was beneath her status for a Soul Master to fight a Grand Soul Master.

Upon hearing this, she shook her head, flicked her hair with her fingers, and said, "Zhuqing, you don't need to worry about anything. Go ahead and make your move. I'm very strong."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and the next second, she burst forth.

First Soul Skill: Netherworld Thrust.

Although she didn't want to hurt Rongrong emotionally, she knew on the field that giving it her all was the best way to show respect, and besides, she wasn't sure she could hurt Ning Rongrong.

She came to Shrek Academy to become stronger, and after just one assessment by Zhao Wuji, she noticed that Ning Rongrong, the girl who protected her, was undoubtedly the strongest among the freshmen.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhuqing had already rushed to Ning Rongrong's side.

Ning Rongrong used her speed boost to dodge the attack.

It would have been easier to simply trap the beast and defend, but there's a downside to that: if the opponent is a Great Soul Master, she wouldn't be able to control her strength—after all, she still has Dai Mubai's power saved up.

Seeing that her thrust had failed to hit her opponent, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed her second soul skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws.

Ning Rongrong calmly dodged, and then, without any amplification, struck Zhu Zhuqing's neck multiple times in a short period of time, causing Zhu Zhuqing to fall forward. Ning Rongrong caught Zhu Zhuqing in time and helped her off the stage.

She also glanced at the master, who naturally dared not voice any objections. Zhu Zhuqing was clearly in no condition to continue fighting, and he couldn't possibly comment on someone who had fainted.

Zhu Zhuqing returned to the sidelines and, after a long while, slowly opened her eyes, looking at Ning Rongrong with a meaningful gaze.

Has the gap already become this large?

She could sense that Ning Rongrong seemed to be holding back, and throughout the entire process, she seemed to have only used her second soul skill, speed boost, and defeated her almost entirely through physical strength.

"This Ning Rongrong..." she murmured, her eyes burning with uncontrollable admiration. Training with someone like Ning Rongrong would surely make her stronger.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was alright, the master glanced at the four people who hadn't participated yet, and this time, Tang San nodded.

"Tang San... Xiao Wu, come at me together. It'll be a good opportunity for me to see your third soul skills."

Tang San was taken aback, and so was Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, became interested.

The master explained, "After watching the first two matches, you should know that Ning Rongrong is almost certain to win in a one-on-one situation. Why not save some time and have two of you play one-on-one? That way, you can train at the same time."

This was, of course, a disguise. The master originally intended for Tang San to fight alone, but considering that Tang San had already exposed his abilities and lost to Ning Rongrong, repeating it again probably wouldn't change the outcome. So he decided to have the two of them fight together, which would increase their chances of winning and make it less likely for Tang San to expose himself.

Upon hearing the master's explanation, the two nodded in understanding.

Soon, the two arrived on the field.

Tang San moved his feet slightly to confirm that he could use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, unlike during the assassination attempt when he was too scared to use it.

But when he used the Purple Demon Eye, a bead of sweat fell from his cheek.

He couldn't see through her. He simply couldn't understand Ning Rongrong.

It turns out that he didn't fail to activate the Purple Demon Eye during the assassination attempt; rather, activating it wouldn't have made a difference. It was as if Ning Rongrong possessed a method to block this attack. In his eyes, whether Ning Rongrong activated the Purple Demon Eye or not, she was the same.

If Xiao Wu and I team up, can we win?

Seeing that Tang San seemed preoccupied, Xiao Wu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's alright. I believe Rongrong will definitely show us the same leniency she showed Zhu Qing."

Upon hearing this, Tang San nearly knocked his head to the ground.

He looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief: "Xiao Wu, why did you assume that we would lose?"
