Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 522 Ning Rongrong's Third Soul Skill: A New Battleground
Two days later.

On the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest, in a dense forest somewhere.

"Of the nine treasures, the third is called: Soul!"

With Ning Rongrong's clear and sweet shout, a dazzling, nine-story glazed pagoda appeared in the shadows.

The next second, the third level of the pagoda shone brightly, and a solid beam of soul power shot out, enveloping Dai Chengfeng not far away.

After two days of searching, Dai Chengfeng finally found a 3500-year-old soul beast that was extremely suitable for Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong, who had successfully absorbed the soul ring and whose soul power level had increased dramatically, couldn't wait to summon her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and test her third soul skill.

Dai Chengfeng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in the soul power within his body.

It was a wonderful feeling of fullness, as if a dry riverbed had been filled with clear spring water. The speed of soul power circulation increased significantly, and the total amount was also significantly improved.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of approval flashing in them: "Not bad, the amplification effect of this soul skill is very strong, about 35%."

Thirty-five percent?!

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's pretty face instantly lit up with an incredulous and delighted expression.

She covered her mouth, her voice trembling slightly: "Dai Chengfeng, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Under normal circumstances, the initial amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's third soul skill is only about 10%!"

"This...this improvement is just too huge!"

"Would I lie to you?" Dai Chengfeng smiled.

Upon receiving Dai Chengfeng's affirmative answer, Ning Rongrong looked at him excitedly, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"If it weren't for your immortal herbs and those pills, my martial spirit wouldn't have been able to evolve, let alone acquire such a powerful soul skill..."

Upon hearing the word "elixir," Ning Rongrong seemed to recall something. Two blushes suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks, her voice lowered, and her eyes became somewhat evasive.

The strange heat and impulse that occurred in my body after taking the elixir that night, and my interactions with Dai Chengfeng...

In short, it left an extremely deep impression on me.

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena, looking at Ning Rongrong's expression, almost simultaneously exchanged a glance, each seeing a subtle hint in the other's eyes.

After all, they had personally experienced the special "side effects" of Dai Chengfeng's pills...

The intense aphrodisiac effect still makes me blush to this day.

Ning Rongrong's shy appearance at this moment...

How similar they are to them back then?
"Anyway, thank you, Dai Chengfeng!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong seemed too excited to know how to express her gratitude. She actually stepped forward and, taking advantage of the moment when Dai Chengfeng was still evaluating the effects of the soul skill and was slightly distracted...

She tiptoed and quickly gave Dai Chengfeng a quick kiss on the cheek.

The warm, moist touch was fleeting. Dai Chengfeng subconsciously touched the spot where he had been kissed, and smiled as he looked at the smiling, blushing girl in front of him.

However, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt two 'cold' gazes, as if they were solid, fixed on him.

Dai Chengfeng stiffly turned his head and saw that Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena opposite him had somehow lost all expression.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were cold and aloof, her lips pursed, revealing neither joy nor anger, but the aura emanating from her was noticeably cooler than the surrounding air.

Hu Liena crossed her arms, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint, ambiguous smile played on her lips, but a dangerous glint shone in her eyes…

A cold sweat instantly broke out on Dai Chengfeng's back.

“It’s over…” Dai Chengfeng’s smile froze instantly, turning into utter embarrassment.

He looked pleadingly at the only elder in the room who could possibly keep the situation in check—the high priest.

The high priestess stood with her hands behind her back, appearing detached from worldly affairs. Sensing Dai Chengfeng's gaze, she slowly shook her head, her tone calm and indifferent:
"I won't get involved in the affairs between you young people."

Dai Chengfeng groaned inwardly, darting behind the High Priest and pleading urgently in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"No! High Priest! You can't just stay out of this! People will die!"

"Really! Look at their eyes!"

The high priest glanced helplessly at Dai Chengfeng, who was hiding behind him and completely lacking the demeanor of a prince, then looked at the two women opposite him whose auras were growing increasingly cold. Finally, he sighed, cleared his throat, and spoke:

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later."

"Now that Rongrong has successfully obtained the spirit ring, we can say that we have accomplished something."

"It's still early today, but the continuous search and travel has been quite tiring, so we'll rest for another day in this outer area."

"Tomorrow morning, we will set off again into the central part of the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable fifth spirit ring for Nana."

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena finally shifted their gaze away from Dai Chengfeng.

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "hmm," and Hu Liena nodded in agreement.

However, the two of them simultaneously rolled their eyes at Dai Chengfeng, the meaning of which was quite clear...

This isn't over yet!

Dai Chengfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just returned from the brink of death.

Soon, the group found a relatively open place nearby, close to a water source, and set up camp.

After the tent was set up, Dai Chengfeng was unusually enthusiastic and took the initiative to prepare dinner.

You have to understand, ever since he showed off his cooking skills a few days ago, he's been lazy and just messing around these past two days. This initiative he's taking now is truly unprecedented.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena naturally knew that this guy was trying to "atone for his crimes" and curry favor with them.

But when they thought of Ning Rongrong's sudden kiss and Dai Chengfeng's previous vow of a "pure relationship," their anger was hard to quell. Faced with Dai Chengfeng's attentiveness, they just watched coldly and showed no intention of giving him a kind look.

Starting a fire, preparing ingredients, cooking...

Dai Chengfeng busied himself, trying to find an opportunity to talk to the two women.

"Zhuqing, how do you think this meat is cooked?"

Dai Chengfeng handed a sizzling, fragrant skewer of meat to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even look at it, and simply replied, "Not hungry."

He then turned and walked to the side, picked up the water pouch and took a small sip of water, leaving Dai Chengfeng with a cold and aloof back view.

Dai Chengfeng, having been rebuffed, awkwardly turned to Hu Liena, who was wiping her dagger:

"Nana, would you like to try this mushroom soup? I added some special spices..."

Hu Liena raised her eyelids and glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Oh, I dare not drink the soup made by the Crown Prince himself. What if there are some 'special' medicinal effects added to it? I can't handle it."

Dai Chengfeng awkwardly withdrew his hand, inwardly groaning.

He tried a few more times, but each time he was either met with a cold snort or simply ignored.

"It seems the only option is to take them down one by one!"
