Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 159 Jiang Nannan's Story
"I can play." Wang Dong'er didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed, she just said that she could play.

The others hadn't quite figured it out either, but when Wang Dong'er said she could play, they felt relieved.

“If Dong’er is going to play, then I can go on stage too,” Xiao Xiao said.

Everyone knows that Xiao Xiao is Wang Dong'er's yes-man; as long as Wang Dong'er says she wants to do something, Xiao Xiao will definitely follow suit.

"I can play," Huo Yuhao said finally.

“Alright, since you’ve made your decision, I won’t try to persuade you anymore,” Wang Yan said. “Children, you are all doing a great job. You are not afraid in the face of a strong enemy. Your teacher is proud of you.”

"Next, I'll talk about our next opponent, Zhengtian Academy."

"They made it into the top eight in the last competition. If they hadn't encountered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the quarterfinals, they might have been able to make it into the top four."

"Before our main players had the accident, I had studied the top eight academies in the previous competition, and I happened to know a bit about Zheng Tian Academy."

"Their captain this year is hailed by Zhengtian Academy as a top genius who appears once in a millennium. His talent is such that even in our Shrek Academy, he has the potential to represent the academy in the competition."

"During the last competition, Elder Xuan also commented that if he were at Shrek Academy, he would definitely be able to break through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty, just like Xiao Tao and Yue Heng now."

"Moreover, this person has an arrogant personality. He will not only not be nervous or afraid when facing Shrek Academy, but may even be more eager to fight. He probably hasn't broken through to Soul Emperor yet, but he's probably not far off."

"So, the reason I told you to give up this match before was because he was there, and with the other two Soul Kings, it would be very difficult for you."

"Faced with a lineup like Zhengtian Academy, our only hope of winning is to gamble on the tournament format, that we can draw the team battle format, and the key to the team battle lies with Xu Sanshi."

"To be precise, it is Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Soul Replacement Skill."

Xu Sanshi immediately understood: "Teacher Wang, you mean one for one?"

Wang Yan nodded: "That's right, it's one for one. San Shi, I saw your performance today. Tell me, if you go all out, can you withstand the group attack of the six opponents for a while? The defensive soul tool you were assigned was shattered by Shen Ce. I happen to have another one here, which I can give to you to use."

"Teacher Wang, this task is a bit difficult," Xu Sanshi said with a bitter face.

Bei Bei chuckled and joked, "Alright, Xu Sanshi, you're either showing off or pretending to be weak. Everyone knows how many ways you can save yourself, don't they?"

"How about this, if you can hold out until we defeat the captain of Zhengtian Academy and we ultimately win, then I'll ask Nan Nan to give you a reward, how about that?"

"Are you serious?" Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up.

"Bang!" Jiang Nannan slammed her hand on the long table and stood up: "I am a person, not a piece of merchandise. Don't drag me into your business."

Her chest heaved, clearly indicating she was furious. She snorted coldly, turned, and left the conference room.

Beibei was startled; he hadn't expected that a joke would elicit such a strong reaction from Jiang Nannan.

Wang Dong'er chased after him without saying a word, and the team atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

Wang Yan tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Xu Sanshi, are you even capable of doing this?"

“Okay!” Xu Sanshi shouted, “Teacher Wang, don’t worry about leaving it to me!” “Alright, then I’ll arrange the way to gang up on the opposing captain,” Wang Yan said. “They might be wary of Sanshi’s Xuanming Replacement, but they will never expect us to use it the moment the battle begins, so you must prepare in advance. Xiao Xiao, tell Wang Dong’er and Jiang Nannan about the arrangements I’m about to make when you get back.”

Outside the Star Emperor Hotel, Jiang Nannan wandered aimlessly down the street.

People came and went, but there was nowhere she wanted to go.

Suddenly, a slightly cold hand took hers.

Jiang Nannan turned around in a panic and saw that it was Wang Dong'er who had caught up with her. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Dong'er, what brings you here?"

"Senior Nan Nan, I am, after all, your creditor. Shouldn't I at least care about whether you can repay your debt in the future?" Wang Dong'er smiled faintly.

Jiang Nannan forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back double."

"Senior, can you tell me your story?" Wang Dong'er asked. "Among the Soul Masters who come from commoner backgrounds, you are the only one I've met so far, and Huo Yuhao is half of one too."

Perhaps it was Wang Dong'er's gentleness that reminded Jiang Nannan of her mother, or perhaps it was because there was not much to hide in her story, but Jiang Nannan suddenly felt an impulse and began to tell her story as she walked.

Jiang Nannan was born into a poor family. Her parents were ordinary, but Jiang Nannan was extremely beautiful. In order to prevent Jiang Nannan from repeating their fate, her parents decided to grit their teeth and scrape together the money to awaken her martial soul. For this reason, Jiang Nannan's father even passed away from a serious illness when she was young.

Fortunately, the outcome was good. At the age of six, Jiang Nannan awakened the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and it was also a level eight innate soul power.

It's important to understand that it's very difficult for ordinary people's children to even awaken a martial soul, let alone awaken an eighth-level innate soul power.

This result alarmed the city lord at the time, who immediately ordered Jiang Nannan's mother to be brought to the city. At the same time, he gave Jiang Nannan a letter of recommendation, allowing her to go to Shrek Academy to take the entrance examination after graduating from the junior academy in the city.

As expected, Jiang Nannan successfully enrolled in Shrek Academy at the age of twelve.

However, the good times didn't last long. Jiang Nannan's mother suddenly fell seriously ill and could only be saved by the Xuanwu Divine Pill from the Xuanming Sect.

Jiang Nannan had no choice but to make a deal with the Xuanming Sect, and it was at this time that she met Xu Sanshi for the first time.

From then on, Xu Sanshi couldn't forget her, while Jiang Nannan only regarded it as a transaction and ignored Xu Sanshi, nor did she like him.

Although Jiang Nannan didn't specify what kind of transaction it was, Wang Dong'er knew what it was.

But at times like this, she certainly wouldn't bring it up directly.

In fact, Jiang Nannan's willingness to recount her first meeting with Xu Sanshi was already beyond Wang Dong'er's expectations.

"Senior Nan Nan, have you ever thought about going back to see your mother?" Wang Dong'er asked.

“Go back to visit my mother? I… I don’t dare to go back.” Jiang Nannan’s voice fell.

She didn't tell Wang Dong'er how dirty her transactions were, nor did she dare to think about how her mother would view her if she knew what kind of transactions she had made.
