Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"Not bad, it tastes just like before." The beauty's veil had long since been thrown away; her red lips moved, her white teeth elegantly chewing the grilled fish. She slightly tilted her head back, her exquisite face filled with joy and enjoyment.

As a peak Soul Emperor and a fire-attribute Soul Master, she didn't find the freshly baked fish scalding hot; on the contrary, it was just right.

Just like when she was in the Holy Spirit Church, every time she went out with this guy, he would direct her to catch some grilled fish by the lake. Then she would squat by his side and watch him magically take out salt and seasonings from his pocket, calmly flip the grilled fish, and finally hand her a perfectly cooked grilled fish.

However, no matter how much she begged, she was always met with a "cold" rejection.

"Senior Brother, seeing you like this is really a bit unusual." Ma Xiaotao rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lu Cheng with a lazy and contented gaze.

It was as if they were looking at their own prey.

The moment she exposed him, she wished she could drag him back to Poseidon Island and imprison him, so that he could make up for the lack of care he had given her... Senior Sister Le Xuan is a woman, but isn't she?

Why is it that he can give up everything for Senior Sister Lexuan, but only show affection for her, who is just a little kid?!

But as she ate the grilled fish, her joy once again took over.

With his existence in this world, I have something to look forward to for the rest of my life.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Cheng's eyes twitched. He felt a chill run down his spine for a moment when the girl had looked him up and down.

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

What a tragedy...

If he had known it would affect reality, he wouldn't have gone on such a wild ride, leaving himself no way out.

"You helped me awaken my martial soul, my second martial soul, the Divine Fire Phoenix, what a majestic name... I should thank you, Senior Brother, why are you suddenly apologizing?" Ma Xiaotao's beautiful phoenix eyes curved into crescents, her smile flowing.

Lu Cheng remained silent.

"Brother Cheng, do you know? I've wanted to be your wife since I was little. I tried my best to compete with Sister Lexuan. I envied and even envied her because she and you were childhood sweethearts, because she occupied your everything, even everything from beginning to end. You lived for her." Ma Xiaotao's smile slowly faded, and she gently fiddled with her fingers. Her slender fingers, painted with red cardamom, looked exceptionally alluring and dazzling.

The girl seemed to be saying something casually.

But Lu Cheng hesitated to speak, because he could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

Because this simulator was designed for Zhang Lexuan, he wanted to become Zhang Lexuan's white moonlight. From beginning to end, he treated Ma Xiaotao as a passerby until he realized her precious feelings. She always seemed cautious, and her almost crazy obsessive love for him gradually made him understand Ma Xiaotao. In the end, he left her a parting gift.

"I abandoned Shrek Academy without hesitation to find you at the Holy Spirit Cult because at that time, you were my whole life. From the moment you appeared in my world and helped me dispel the pain of being burned by evil fire, my world gained more color..."

Ma Xiaotao continued to murmur softly.

“I…” Lu Cheng took a deep breath.

But Ma Xiaotao interrupted him.

"I love you, and I'm willing to risk everything for you, to abandon all worldly prejudices, Lu Cheng, it's because I love you!" Ma Xiaotao suddenly looked at Lu Cheng, her bloodshot eyes filled with tears.

"But why do you pretend nothing's wrong, treating me like a fool, a tool to be toyed with at will, to be discarded so easily? Do you think my love is a toy? Something cheap?"

"No." Lu Cheng sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

"Do you think I need your damn martial soul evolution? I'd rather die with you! Why should Zhang Lexuan die with you? Why should I guard your grave for decades? Lu Cheng, you're really good at scheming!" Ma Xiaotao stared intently at Lu Cheng with her phoenix eyes.

Lu Cheng remained silent.

"Do I need your self-righteous protection?" Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips, then fell silent, looking at Lu Cheng with heartbroken and angry eyes.

"You always think you've planned everything perfectly, but why don't you ask if what Le Xuan and I got is really what we wanted? You're too presumptuous, Lu Cheng..."

Ma Xiaotao said softly.

"call……"

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.

What else could he say? He had nothing to say.

"So in this life... Senior Brother, I beg you not to scheme against me anymore. If you really want to die, please take Xiao Tao with you..." Ma Xiao Tao stared blankly at Lu Cheng, her body squeezing into Lu Cheng's arms, her eyes reddening, her fair fingers tightly gripping her sleeves, her tears soaking Lu Cheng's robes.

"OK?"

The girl bit her lip lightly, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked up at Lu Chengdao as if praying.

It was as if at this moment she was no longer the superior, dominant senior sister Ma Xiaotao, but the clingy and obedient junior sister of the inner courtyard.

“Okay!” Lu Cheng nodded solemnly.

"You're not allowed to lie to me..." Ma Xiaotao said, her eyes hazy and alluring as she wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng's neck.

"I'm not lying to you."

"Okay, I believe you..."

Ma Xiaotao burst out laughing, her stunningly beautiful face resembling a blooming rose, alluring and dazzling.

It absorbed all the light around it.

Lu Cheng reached out and wiped away the beauty's tears, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but also gradually hardening.

strength……

Ultimately, all regrets and tragedies stem from a lack of strength.

Now, he must do everything in his power to improve.

Only then can we have a real voice on this continent.

Limit Douluo?

not enough.

There's still someone watching from above.

However... there's still a year before the main storyline begins, and with his current top-tier talent, that's enough time for him to develop.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing…” Ma Xiaotao smiled sweetly and took out a dark, blocky object from her pocket.

Flames rose in his hands, and as the temperature increased, the whale glue gradually melted.

"Sister will feed you whale jelly..."

"And...there's also a medicinal bath!"

Lu Cheng: "..."

Sure enough, women are vengeful...

P.S.: Tomorrow it will still be noon.

Chapter 55 Assessment Rewards, targeting

"Acheng... what's wrong with you?"

Inside the dormitory, Ning Cong stared blankly at Lu Cheng, who had dark circles under his eyes and was yawning constantly.

"It's nothing. Sister Xiaotao from the inner courtyard asked me to help her cultivate. My Sun Essence Fire can help her evolve her martial soul." Lu Cheng yawned and said.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Cong still spoke seriously: "Acheng, for our age group, it's better to focus on cultivation and development... otherwise it might damage our foundation."

Lu Cheng: "..."

What are you saying, you bastard!

What do you mean by "fuck your mother's car"...?

However, subconsciously recalling the scene of the two cultivating together in the bathroom, the ambiguous and entangled atmosphere, Ma Xiaotao wished she could make up for everything she lost to Zhang Lexuan back then, except for exhausting Lu Cheng.

That body, as ripe as a peach, was indeed somewhat...

"Cough cough cough."

Lu Cheng's face flushed red: "No, really no."

"Sigh." Ning Cong shook his head.

His gaze hardened. Yan Shaozhe had actually dared to send such a powerful weapon to seduce Lu Cheng; he'd made a mistake. He'd initially thought Shrek Academy didn't value Lu Cheng, but now...

I need to send another letter to the family to urge them.

If the marriage is indeed confirmed, it needs to be done quickly.

Or... we could start from other aspects; providing timely help is far more useful than adding to someone's existing success.

The rest of the competition went smoothly.

After Lu Cheng defeated the Jade Dragon team, the outcome of the freshman assessment was no longer in doubt. Lu Cheng's team successfully swept all other teams and won the first championship of the qualifying round.

On the college square.

Many new disciples stood still, their eyes either burning with fervor or filled with emotion as they observed the scene unfolding on the stage.

The four teams were the winners of this assessment.

The three at the very front were particularly dazzling.

At the height of his youthful vigor, under the watchful eyes of nearly five hundred people, Du Weilin walked onto the stage with a smile, his hands behind his back.

What made Lu Cheng feel uneasy was that the old man's smile was a bit off... it seemed to be forced. What did that mean?

"Today we gather here to witness the birth of a new generation of Shrek Academy's elite. Like that ancient golden tree, the will of Shrek Academy will never cease..."

After beginning with a formula, Du Weiren cleared his throat and began announcing the rewards.

"Fourth place, Zhang Bailin's team, all members are core disciples, and they are also given three Panlong Fruits..."

"Third place..."

"Second place goes to the Jade Spirit Dragon Team. All members are core disciples. They will also be given a Deep Immortal Grass and three Panlong Fruits. The Future Academy will help them obtain the most suitable next Soul Ring."

"First place, Lu Cheng's team, all members are core disciples, three Panlong Fruits, two Shenxian Grasses, and with the help of the Future Academy, they will obtain the most suitable soul ring..."

"Let's give them a round of applause."

Du Weilin smiled and was the first to applaud.

Many of the new disciples clapped, looking completely bewildered.

Is that correct?

Ning Cong was completely stunned. He had known Shrek Academy was stingy, but he had never imagined it was this stingy...

In previous years, why did the new disciples fight so hard to win the championship? It wasn't just a symbol of status and honor, but also the tangible rewards. The champion's reward in previous years was at least a world ahead of the runner-up's. Not to mention the thousand-year or ten-thousand-year soul bones, but...
