Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 186 Hahaha, it's actually a toad!

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Xin excitedly. If it were a few more days, she might not be able to hold on. Her soul power was ultimately limited, only level 27.

She hadn't reached the point of not needing to eat or drink. Although Xu Ruoruo offered her food, she didn't eat it.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing heard Xu Xin mention kowtowing, tears welled up in her eyes...

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing tremblingly kowtowed.

Xu Xin nodded slightly, and a massive amount of soul power was injected into Zhu Zhuqing's body. In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing recovered completely.

"Get up. You are still my personal disciple, but you can only be a disciple in name only."

"If you perform well during the Soul Master Competition, I will take you as my personal disciple."

Compared to Feng Xiaotian and Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing is ultimately inferior; she is better than some but not as good as others.

Xu Xin didn't have high expectations of her. He valued Zhu Zhuqing's unique qualities, which Feng Xiaotian and Qian Renxue lacked. Their different starting points determined their differences.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, which showed how highly her master valued her.

"Zhu Qing, there is a senior brother and a senior sister above you. You will meet them during the Soul Master Competition. I won't tell you now, so as not to put too much pressure on you."

Xu Xin spoke calmly, and then took out a Xuan Shui Pill and a piece of whale glue from his storage soul tool.

"Take the pill first."

As he spoke, Xu Xin handed the Xuan Shui Dan to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing took the pills without hesitation, sat cross-legged, and began to swallow and refine them.

For Zhu Zhuqing, whose innate soul power is level 7, the effect of the Xuan Shui Pill is not so obvious, but it won't be too bad either.

After taking a Xuan Shui Pill, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power instantly increased by one level, and her talent also improved somewhat.

Xu Xin used his immense soul power to refine the whale glue in his hand. He didn't have the ultimate fire; he simply used his vast soul power to compress and refine the whale glue.

"Let's continue."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing took the hot whale glue from Xu Xin's hand again.

The intense heat of the whale glue instantly burned Zhu Zhuqing's clothes; "Dad, you're not allowed to look, hmph, or I'll tell Mom when I get back."

Xu Ruoruo tugged hard at Xu Xin's clothes, speaking angrily.

Xu Xin gave an awkward smile, then turned his head and took out a set of clothes: "I'll give them to your junior sister later."

Xu Ruoruo hugged the clothes Xu Xin had given her, looking at her junior sister with a smile in her eyes.

The clothes Xu Xin gave me—cough cough—naturally belonged to Ah Yin. His storage soul tool also contained Bibi Dong's and Liu Erlong's clothes…

Two hours later, Zhu Zhuqing woke up from her cultivation. She could clearly feel that her aptitude had improved and her physique had also increased significantly.

After putting on the clothes Xu Ruoruo handed him, he gently picked her up and said, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Junior Sister."

Xu Xin smiled with satisfaction: "Zhu Qing, don't rush to hunt for soul rings when you reach level 30. I'll have someone deliver them to you then."

"Now, you can go to Shrek Academy. From this moment on, your destiny has changed."

"Remember this, Zhu Qing: you don't have to humble yourself before anyone. My disciple is not someone anyone can bully."

Xu Xin spoke calmly. For Zhu Zhuqing, the shackles on her body had already been broken the moment she became an apprentice, and she was no longer troubled by them.

Zhu Zhuqing could also tell that her teacher was very strong, though she didn't know exactly how strong. But judging from the things he gave her, they were not things that an ordinary strong person could provide.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Xin: "Teacher, can you tell me how strong you are?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked out of curiosity.

"Junior sister, my father seems to have nine of those rings on your feet."

Xu Ruoruo looked at the two yellow spirit rings at Zhu Zhuqing's feet and said excitedly.

She had nine fathers, and she had seen them all. They weren't just yellow; there were also purple, black, and red ones, and the last one even seemed to have a golden sheen.

Nine...nine. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Xin in surprise. He didn't look much older than her, yet he had nine. Was her teacher a Title Douluo?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Zhu Zhuqing was greatly surprised.

"It's just a child's joke, don't take it seriously."

Xu Xin waved his hand, not wanting to expose himself.

She didn't think her junior sister was joking; her teacher was the strongest.

Seeing her expression, Xu Xin was too lazy to say anything more. He took out a storage soul tool and said, "Zhu Qing, this is your apprenticeship gift. There is 100 cubic meters of space inside."

"Your disciple thanks you, Master."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Xin excitedly. Such a large storage soul tool! There might not be one like it in the entire Douluo Continent.

These storage soul tools were developed by the Shadow Palace Soul Tool Academy. Each of Feng Xiaotian and his companions had one, each with 100 cubic meters of storage.

"Cultivate well, go now, we'll meet again soon."

As Xu Xin spoke, his immense soul power sent Zhu Zhuqing away.

"Let's go, Ruoruo."

They picked up Xu Ruoruo and disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they were sitting on a big tree, quietly watching the three women fighting below.

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Hotel in Soto City, a blond man was leering at a woman next to a man whose body was wrapped in bandages.

"Boss Dai!"

Xiao Wu looked at the golden-haired creature and felt a surge of joy. The Shrek Seven Devils were finally going to reunite.

She didn't say anything, just looked at her third brother. Nothing was wrong; she and her third brother had fought with Boss Dai for a room again.

I wonder if Third Brother will be able to snatch it this time.

Xiao Wu's face showed a hint of worry. She already knew that Tang San's martial soul was no longer Blue Silver Grass, but a toad instead.

Toad, boohoo, Third Brother...

"Young man, you can't handle this woman. You should just give her up."

Dai Mubai pushed aside the two women beside him and stared at Xiao Wu nakedly, his eyes filled with greed.

Tang San, the toad, sneered inwardly. This man was courting death!
"Take action."

Tang San, the toad, looked at Dai Mubai with a pretentious air. In front of Xiao Wu, he definitely had to show his manly side.

"Hmph, if that's the case, then let's resolve this using the methods of Soul Masters."

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger's roar resounded throughout the hall. The Soul Master released his soul power, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger appeared behind Dai Mubai, instantly possessing him. Dai Mubai exuded the might of a tiger's roar.

Tang San, the toad, snorted coldly: "Martial Soul: Toad, Martial Soul Possession."

"Cuck!"

A huge toad lay sprawled on the ground, its bulging eyes staring intently at Dai Mubai.

"Hahahaha!"

"It's actually a toad."

"Kid, you're really a toad trying to eat swan meat."

"Hahahaha, little toad, have you managed to eat swan meat yet?"

"Hahahaha!"

Dai Mubai mocked Tang San recklessly, not taking the toad Tang San seriously at all. A toad? His White Tiger could crush it with one stomp.

"Wait for me, I need to laugh for a bit first."

"Hahahaha!"
