Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 290 We are pitiful people too!
"The world is full of wonders, so why can't there be sects that specifically shelter evil martial spirits? They are just a bunch of pitiful kids, take myself for example."

Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng answered all his questions without the slightest disrespect for Ning Wuque, immediately explaining the situation for him and even making up a little lie, nine parts truth and one part falsehood:
"Although my martial soul is of the Evil Martial Soul Hall type, I dare to swear to the heavens that from the day I awakened this martial soul, I have never used its ability to absorb any of my fellow humans. The only way I have been able to cultivate to this day is through my own meditation and the blood and essence of soul beasts."

The kids around me may have some bad deeds, but almost all of them were forced into it. If they could, who wouldn't want to openly and honestly show themselves to the world? We're just a vulnerable group, like the Body Sect, sticking together for warmth and support.

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Zhang Peng nodded firmly. He had only told a small lie; the rest was true.

On the other side, Ning Wuque had no doubts, because Zhang Peng's own experience was indeed as clean as he said! This person could be said to be an absolute anomaly and unlucky guy among evil soul masters.

His words just now were completely genuine, without any acting skills whatsoever.

I don't think so, what do you think?

Ning Wuque shook his head slightly, and after speaking, he looked at Tang Ya. Unfortunately, Tang Ya was the biggest flaw in Zhang Peng's words.

Zhang Peng remained silent, because he had actually noticed that several people in the group clearly knew the Holy Maiden. He hadn't expected that his words just now wouldn't have fooled them.

If he could send a message to Long Xiaoyao right now, he would have already run away.

"You're looking for me? You know me? But I don't remember ever seeing you before."

Just as the atmosphere became slightly tense, Tang Ya took the initiative to step forward to help Zhang Peng out of the predicament and draw the fire. Her expression was cold, and her pair of bloodshot eyes looked at Bei Bei, who was staring blankly at her. The latter was still unable to let go of the sneak attack she had just launched.

Slowly, Ning Wuque took a deep look at Zhang Peng and turned to leave. The Holy Spirit Cult had not yet launched its attack, or rather, it was simply no match for them. He had only been teasing Zhang Peng and had no intention of doing anything serious.

Now that Tang Ya has stepped forward, this matter has come to an end. Now, let Bei Bei bring this chance encounter to a close.

Instead of returning to the group, Ning Wuque went straight to the registration counter not far away, gently tapping the table to make a crisp sound and alert the officials watching the show:
"Please register. Shrek Academy is registering for this Soul Fighting Tournament. Thank you. This is our personnel list."

"And the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, here is our personnel list, thank you."

Following closely behind was Ning Tian's second elder brother, Ning Yueming, who was the vice captain of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School team and was qualified to come and register on behalf of Wu Feng.

He actually wanted to follow this melodramatic amnesia love story a little longer, but before he could, he heard his great-grandfather's voice telling him to go and complete the registration procedures for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Damn it, this job should have been done by Wu Feng, so why is he the one being conscripted?
"Oh, please wait a moment."

The staff member was also in a bad mood. He was enjoying his melon when he was called back to work. Couldn't he have waited until he finished eating the melon before starting work?
So annoying!
Soon, Ning Wuque heard Bei Bei's intermittent, sorrowful voice as he waited for the registration to be completed.

After the two finished registering for their respective teams, the amnesiac romance drama was coming to an end. All that could be seen was Bei Bei looking heartbrokenly at Tang Ya, who turned and left without hesitation, while Zhang Lexuan held her in her arms, completely lost in thought.

If you look closely, you can also see Zhang Lexuan's slightly upturned corners of her mouth.

"Poor Beibei, how could Xiaoya be so heartless?"

Back beside Ning Tianwufeng, the members of the Holy Spirit Sect had already gone far away, and Wufeng's voice echoed in his ears:

"Wuque, if you lose your memory in the future, will you treat me and Sister Tian the same way?" "Sigh~ Stop thinking about such nonsense. There is nothing in this world that can make me lose my memory. Besides, my great-grandfather is here watching over me. If I really lose my memory, then there will be a big problem."

"Oh, that's true."

Hugging Ning Wuque's arm tightly, Wu Feng pointed to his chin with his index finger and nodded thoughtfully, looking slightly silly in Ning Wuque's eyes.

They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but I'm not even pregnant yet, how come I'm suddenly heading in the direction of becoming a little idiot?

Soon, everyone who had finished registering left without lingering. Apart from Beibei being distraught, everyone was fine, and the team leader who returned was now Zhang Lexuan, who was supporting Beibei.

-----

The next day, early in the morning.

Today, the streets and alleys of Mingdu were deserted. Countless residents who were off work came to both sides of a main road to watch one team after another of the participating teams walk towards the Soul Arena in the suburbs.

More than 30,000 soldiers in armor, armed with soul-guided guns and melee weapons, maintained order at the scene.

"It's really lively! There are nearly a hundred more teams and almost two thousand more people than the last competition. This will last at least two months."

"Look over there! It's Shrek Academy's team, and those champions from last year's tournament too!"

"Which sect's team is that? They look so scary and mysterious, so creepy."

"How did the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School team get mixed up with Shrek Academy? They even left together! I really hope they get drawn into each other's matches!"

"Wow! It's Xiao Hongchen, the rising star of Mingdu, and Miss Meng Hongchen! I'm Miss Meng Hongchen's dog! Woof woof woof!"

"Look, is that the Heavenly Soul Empire's team? Why are they all unfamiliar faces? Only two of the reserve team members from last year came?"

The bustling crowd on the roadside watched the departing procession and discussed it endlessly. Some even dared to say something bold, causing those around them to either join in the commotion or burst into laughter.

People on the roadside were doing this, and the teams competing on the main road were also talking to each other and observing each other's lineups.

Within the Shrek Academy team, some members who were here for the first time were excitedly marveling at the sheer number of people participating in the competition.

In response, Wu Feng, who was holding Ning Wuque's arm, waved his hand dismissively, his tone arrogant and disdainful:

"Don't be fooled by the large number of people. Ninety percent of them are just there to make up the numbers. If I could always get a one-on-one elimination match, I could win seven matches in a row before the round of 16."

"You... how old are you? You need to be more composed. Don't underestimate the world. If a dark horse suddenly appears and you beat it, don't come crying to me."

"Hmph~ If I don't cry to you, who else can I cry to? If I get beaten up, I'll definitely make you stand up for me. So, tell me, will you help me or not?"

"help!"
