Douluo Tang San, stop rolling

Looking at the bright and cold full moon hanging outside the window in the quiet and deep night sky, there is a cold wind blowing from time to time, making people shiver.

But her heart was burning with passion. She didn't want to become a victim of the struggle within the Xingluo royal family. She wanted to seize her own destiny, and that was why she came to Shrek Academy.

But Dai Mubai disappointed her. Not to mention Xu Dongyang, who was one year younger than him, even Tang San, who was three years younger than him, was no match for him.

There is no harm without comparison. In the original novel, Dai Mubai was at least the one with the highest soul power among Shrek. Now even this halo has been lost because of Xu Dongyang. Zhu Zhuqing's disappointment with him is even greater than in the original novel.

Perhaps because they were too tired from the training during the day, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu fell asleep early. After they fell asleep, a dark shadow left the girls' dormitory.

Male dormitory

Xu Dongyang was sitting on the bed meditating. Oscar next to him had already fallen asleep, and would occasionally make a slight snoring sound.

"Xu Dongyang, are you asleep?"

A cold voice sounded from outside the window. Although the voice was small, it was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Xu Dongyang opened his eyes and looked out the window. A woman's figure was clearly visible through the window, and her iconic cat-ear hair allowed Xu Dongyang to confirm the person's identity at a glance.

Turning his head to look at Oscar who was not alarmed, Xu Dongyang stood up and opened the window, and saw Zhu Zhuqing standing on the eaves outside the window.

Her long black hair fluttered in the evening breeze, and her tall and plump figure looked particularly eye-catching and attractive in the reflection of the moonlight. Her beautiful eyes revealed hesitation, which was very different from her usual cold and calm gaze. She bit her lips lightly, foreshadowing her inner uneasiness.

In the past, Zhu Zhuqing was mostly cold and quiet, like a deep and calm cold pond that made people dare not look directly at or approach.

How could there be such a weak little girl? Xu Dongyang was a little distracted, and Zhu Zhuqing's face gradually turned red as he looked at her.

After he reacted, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing seriously and said:

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Xu Dongyang dodged away from the eaves, and Zhu Zhuqing followed closely after hesitating for a while.

After the two of them arrived at an open forest, Xu Dongyang turned around and looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said:

"Okay, let's talk about it here if you have anything to say."

Zhu Zhuqing looked around, a flash of struggle in her eyes. She did not directly state her purpose, but first introduced her life experience.

"Actually, I am from the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire. The Zhu family and the Dai family of the Xingluo Empire have been intermarried for generations. The two families have a traditional custom that the successor to the throne of each generation will be the winner among the princes."

"So Dai Mubai is one of the princes of the Xingluo Empire? And you are here to find him? And also his fiancée?" Xu Dongyang asked at the right time.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes when she looked at Xu Dongyang.

"Although I am his fiancée, this is the first time I meet him. I didn't know him before. I was disappointed to see him living a lazy life in Shrek."

"Haha! You don't have to explain this to me, just keep talking."

When Xu Dongyang saw the other party's hurried explanation and the contrast between his usual image, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Xu Dongyang's teasing expression, Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him resentfully, and then continued:

“Dai Mubai’s elder brother, the eldest prince of the Xingluo Empire, Davis, and his fiancée, my sister Zhu Zhuyun, are much older than us and much stronger than us.

It's hard for us to win, but most of the losers in the royal battle end up in a miserable state, so I came to you to become stronger, I want to control my own destiny!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Dongyang with burning eyes. She no longer had any hope for Dai Mubai and could only place her hope on this man who once gave her a sense of security.

"can!"

Xu Dongyang agreed without thinking. He had always admired Zhu Zhuqing. Not only was she the most hardworking among the Seven Monsters, but she also had the cleanest background.

Although she is from the Zhu family of Xingluo, the Zhu family is not her background. Even Oscar, an orphan, grew up in Shrek Academy, so Shrek is his background.

In comparison, Zhu Zhuqing can be said to be truly alone and has no one to rely on.

Chapter 41: Teaching Breathing Techniques

"Flanders, I really can't lead these students!"

Yu Xiaogang's angry roar echoed in Flanders' office.

"Okay, Xiaogang, calm down first."

Flanders looked at Yu Xiaogang helplessly with a wry smile. He understood Yu Xiaogang's difficulties. He had no good solution as the team was divided into two parts.

As teachers, they can only guide students. If you can't teach, you can't stop them from learning, right? He also observed Xu Dongyang's training. Overall, Ning Rongrong and the others were very hardworking.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Just this morning, Zhu Zhuqing also left the team and went to Xu Dongyang's place to practice. The tone of her voice didn't show that she wanted to discuss things with me at all. She really didn't take me, her teacher, seriously at all!"

When Yu Xiaogang was young, he was looked down upon by his peers because of his useless martial spirit, but he could only endure it. Now, even a group of children don’t take him seriously. How can he endure it?

If he hadn't been really defeated, he would have let Xu Dongyang and the others know what the teacher's majesty was! Why would he still be complaining to Flanders here?

----------------

On the other side, after completing the physical training in the morning, Xu Dongyang prepared to take Zhu Zhuqing for special training.

"What ability do you think you most need to improve?" Xu Dongyang brought Zhu Zhuqing to a cliff, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked.

"speed!"

Zhu Zhuqing replied seriously. She was very clear about her own position.

"You are already fast enough. Whether it's Dai Mubai or Tang San, their speed is far inferior to yours, but you still can't beat them."

"That's because their soul power level is higher than mine!" Zhu Zhuqing retorted unwillingly.

Xu Dongyang shook his head and said, "The strength brought by high soul power is mostly reflected in strength, speed and defense. It's not that people with high soul power will definitely win.

Otherwise, there would be no need for soul masters to compete, and the winner could be decided directly by reporting their soul power levels."

"What you lack most is offensiveness. If I'm not mistaken, your first two spirit rings are spirit beasts that favor speed."

Xu Dongyang's tone was certain. He was well aware of the fragility of the Blue Silver Grass, but Tang San relied on absorbing spirit rings to increase the toughness of the Blue Silver Grass, making it difficult for Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws to tear it apart.

He couldn't understand this phenomenon. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could evolve through absorption by spirit rings, and Zhu Zhuqing could naturally evolve as well. Everyone was evolving, so how could the Blue Silver Grass that broke with a simple pull evolve to a level of toughness that was difficult to break with ordinary attacks?

What? You can enhance the toughness of your martial spirit, but I can't enhance its sharpness?

Don’t mention that Tang San’s martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor. He hasn’t awakened yet, so he judged that Zhu Zhuqing’s soul ring choice is more inclined towards speed-type soul beasts.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in acknowledgment, but a hint of surprise appeared on her pretty face. Her first soul skill - Netherworld Stab can increase her movement speed for an instant.

The second soul skill - Netherworld Hundred Claws increases her attack speed.

"If you want to defeat Tang San, you must increase the power of your claws so that you can tear his blue silver grass apart as easily as I can."

In Xu Dongyang's opinion, it would be difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to crush Tang San, who possessed the Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Steps, just by relying on speed. If she could not break through the defense and control of the opponent's Blue Silver Grass, she would have no chance of winning at all.

"what should I do?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were bright, she remembered the way Xu Dongyang dealt with Tang San at the beginning of the school year, using the dark gold claws on his right hand to easily tear apart the opponent's blue silver grass.

No matter how Tang San's Blue Silver Grass changed and grew, in the face of absolute power it would shatter like bubbles at the slightest touch.

Xu Dongyang did not reply to Zhu Zhuqing, but walked towards the cliff by himself. Instead of explaining it, he decided to demonstrate it directly.

He took out a pair of iron handcuffs and tied them around his feet. There was an iron chain on the handcuffs connected to an iron ball, like a meteor hammer.

Then, under Zhu Zhuqing's shocked gaze, he climbed up the cliff with his bare hands. There was no fluctuation of soul power on his body, and his feet were handcuffed so he couldn't support himself. The whole time he relied on his hands to support the weight of his entire body and the weighted iron ball under his feet.

His hands were as sharp as eagle claws, and his fingers were deeply embedded in the mountain like steel bars. The whole person was crawling slowly on the vertical cliff like a gecko.

"Is this the next part of my training?"

When Xu Dongyang came down from the cliff, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly asked.

Xu Dongyang nodded and explained: "The power of the claws comes from your finger strength and the sharpness of the claws. The former is part of the physical strength, and the latter is the control of the soul power.

You have to climb freehand without the help of your feet, which can greatly enhance your finger strength. When you feel you can't hold on any longer, you can use your soul power to strengthen your claws and embed them into the mountain to rest.

However, in order to prevent yourself from falling during the rest period, you need to continue to control the claws, which can improve your control over soul power. Of course, if you can penetrate rocks with your finger power like me, that's also possible."

Zhu Zhuqing then walked towards Xu Dongyang and reached out to pick up the weighted handcuffs.

"What are you doing?" Xu Dongyang asked puzzledly.

"Don't we need to use weights?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Xu Dongyang in a silly way.

"This is for me. You don't need it now. It would be a joke if you accidentally fall and kill yourself." Xu Dongyang smiled bitterly helplessly.

Because he possesses the Dark Gold Terror Claw, rock climbing is also a compulsory course for Xu Dongyang every day. So the two of them transformed into geckos and crawled on the cliffs, encouraging each other and making progress together.

As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are like pearls inlaid in the deep night sky. The breeze blows gently, the shadows of the trees sway, and the silent night is full of peace and tranquility.

"Brother Dong, why did you call us out so late?"

The one who spoke was Xiao Wu, who was wearing a pink dress and had a scorpion-tail braid. Besides her, there was also Zhu Zhuqing, who had a cold face and remained silent.

If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been called out, Xiao Wu would have thought that the other party called her out at night to do something bad.

The two looked at Xu Dongyang with doubtful eyes at the same time, only to see the other party said solemnly:

“I called you two out because I plan to teach you a set of cultivation methods.

But before that, you two have to promise me that you will never tell anyone else, even to your closest people."

"Is Rongrong not okay too?"

Feeling the seriousness of the other party's attitude, Xiao Wu no longer had her usual playful smile.

"no!"

This time, Xu Dongyang planned to teach the two of them the breathing technique he created. These two were the only people in Shrek that made him feel at ease. Both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had basically no involvement with any force.

As for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, one has the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as his background, and the other grew up in Shrek Academy. He doesn't feel comfortable teaching his own breathing technique to them now.

After getting assurances from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, Xu Dongyang began to teach them the breathing technique.

"This breathing technique is so powerful!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed.

"I feel that my soul power is running much faster, and my body is lighter and faster. Xu Dongyang, thank you! I don't know how to repay you."

After feeling the changes in her body, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes became moist with excitement. Her obsidian eyes, set off by tears, reflected an indescribable joy and tenderness.

No one has ever been so kind to Zhu Zhuqing since she was born. This is the first time she has felt the kindness of others. If Xiao Wu had not been there, she might have hugged the other person excitedly.

In comparison, Xiao Wu at the side did not have much reaction. Although the breathing technique was very effective, as a hundred thousand year old soul beast, what she needed more was popularity for her cultivation.

"Okay, there's no need to say thank you. You just need to practice hard, and you will be able to help me in the future. Compared to the present, I value your future more." Xu Dongyang looked into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes and encouraged.

"I have taught you the method. If you have any questions, you can ask me later. But I reiterate, do not teach it to others.

If there is no problem, let's go back. If we delay too long, it will easily arouse suspicion."

Chapter 42 Special Training Results

"Yeah! I finally learned it!"

Ning Rongrong's excited voice rang out, and a blue soul ball appeared in her hand, spinning, exactly the same as Xu Dongyang's Rasengan.

After three months of special training, Ning Rongrong finally mastered the Rasengan. In comparison, Oscar's progress was slower.

Seeing Oscar with a bitter face, Xu Dongyang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Xiao Ao, don't lose heart. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has a method of distracting the mind called the Seven-aperture Exquisite Heart. Rongrong has learned this, so he is better than you in controlling soul power. Just keep working hard."

"Thank you, Dong Ge, I'm fine."

Oscar smiled bitterly and nodded. He knew that the other party was trying to comfort him, but the depression in his heart was indeed relieved a lot.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard these past three months. Give yourselves a break. The dean will be testing everyone's training results later."

Everyone has made great progress in the past three months. In terms of soul power, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing have all improved by two levels, and Oscar and Xu Dongyang have also improved by one level.

Of course, the most important thing is practical combat ability. Today's Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing are completely transformed compared to before.

During these three months, Dean Flanders often came to him to complain because he had disrupted the master's arrangements. Fortunately, he was not interested in teaching others all the time, and promised Flanders that he would only teach for three months. The dean just wanted to test the progress of the four people.

The current Shrek Academy is no longer of much help to Xu Dongyang. He is still staying here just to wait for the arrival of Tiandou Royal Academy and use Dugu Yan as a medium to obtain the magic grass.

It is worth mentioning that during these three months, Ning Rongrong once bought the pistol from him in the name of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Naturally, he had his own ideas. He planned to sell the design drawings of the pistol directly to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but he had to meet with Ning Fengzhi to discuss the matter himself. Ning Rongrong agreed to Xu Dongyang's request without hesitation.

The next morning, the Shrek students gathered on the playground. Flanders looked at everyone and said:

"Today we are here to test everyone's training results over the past three months. The purpose of training is only one, which is to improve practical combat ability. Therefore, only practical combat ability can reflect a person's training results."
