Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

But Ning Rongrong had no reason to complain. She couldn't even recall the times she had bullied Gu Yi. It was as if she had just stepped on an ant and never cared.

"Because back then you looked down on me, you thought I was just a dirty, disgusting, annoying tagalong, right?"

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Gu Yi answered for her directly, as the original owner's tragic memories were still deeply etched in his mind.

If I were to forgive her just because she made a gesture of goodwill, what would happen to all the suffering the original owner of this body had endured?

Now I have the system on my left and Zhu Qing on my right, and a wonderful life is just around the corner. Do you still want me to go back and serve you?

Go play somewhere else!

Chapter 19 Gu Yi's Domineering Protection of Qing

"I...I'm already changing, why do you still need to do this?"

Ning Rongrong was trembling all over. She didn't understand where Gu Yi had gone.

After hearing her words, Gu Yi ignored them, turned his head, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Change? Can changing her now undo the damage she caused to the original body?

The original owner is dead! You chose her, idol!

Silence fell over them. The square was unusually quiet in the early morning, and neither of them wanted to say another word to the other.

Soon, the others gathered around, forming a neat line and waiting for Flander's instructions.

"Hmm? Where's Oscar? Hasn't he gotten up yet?" Flander looked around, but couldn't see Oscar anywhere. He frowned and looked at Gu Yi to ask.

"When I got up, I saw that he was still in meditation, so I didn't disturb him," Gu Yi explained calmly.

According to the original story, Oscar should have arrived by now.

Suddenly, Ma Hongjun exclaimed, "Oscar is here!"

really.

Gu Yi turned his head and saw Oscar running towards him with a big smile on his face. Judging from this, he must have successfully broken through.

"Oscar! Didn't I tell you? You can't be late for my class. What have you been doing?" Flander asked in a deep voice, still frowning.

"Level 30! Dean, I've broken through to level 30!" Oscar replied excitedly.

"What! You're level 30?"

"Good! Oscar, you did not disappoint me! You are the third person in this group to reach level 30. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you."

At this moment, Dai Mubai also walked up. He patted Oscar on the shoulder and smiled, "Congratulations, Oscar. As a food-type Soul Master, you are the most talented one I have ever seen!"

Oscar scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and replied, "Oh, actually I'm not as good as you guys say."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Ning Rongrong, only to find that she didn't seem to be paying much attention to them, but instead kept looking at Gu Yi.

Suddenly, Flander coughed, drawing everyone's attention. He said in a deep voice, "Alright! Since it's such a coincidence, let Zhao Wuji lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest today to obtain a spirit ring for Oscar."

"Remember, this isn't just about Oscar; it's a test for all of you!"

"You have half an hour to prepare. Meet at the academy gate in half an hour. Now, dismissed!"

They said they had half an hour to prepare, but apart from Tang San, everyone else just chatted for a while.

Time passed quickly, and when everyone arrived at the academy gate, Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them.

"I will lead the team to the Soul Beast Forest this time, but you will have to solve any problems you encounter on the way yourselves. I will not intervene unless absolutely necessary."

"Alright, now listen to my instructions."

"Gu Yi, you go first. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, you follow behind Gu Yi. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, you go on the left and right sides. Mu Bai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, you go at the back of the line. Let's go!"

No one objected to Zhao Wuji's arrangements; everything was handled appropriately.

After arranging everything, Wuji quickly walked ahead, guiding the others.

There are definitely no carriages in the small village where Shrek lives; if they want to get to the Star Dou Great Forest, they have to run there.

However, the Star Dou Great Forest is nearly 500 kilometers away from Shrek Academy, and running alone would be a very difficult problem to deal with in terms of physical exertion for everyone.

Fortunately, Oscar was there. Although his soul skills and spells were a bit disgusting, they were extremely effective.

Just one recovery sausage is enough to sustain everyone's physical exertion for a hundred kilometers.

Even so, by nightfall, the group had only traveled four hundred kilometers, still some distance from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Left with no other choice, the group found a hotel nearby and decided to continue their journey the next day.

"Ugh! I'm exhausted! I can't take it anymore, boss, hurry up and bring the menu over!"

As soon as he entered the hotel, Ma Hongjun collapsed into a chair as if he could no longer hold on, complaining incessantly.

The others were in similar condition. Because he had to clear the way, Gu Yi didn't use his bone wings and ran on the ground the whole time.

He felt extremely sore all over and was in great discomfort.

"Here it is! This is our menu. What would you like to order? We'll bring it to you right away."

Soon, a waiter came over from the front desk, handed the menu to Ma Hongjun with a smile, and stood aside to take notes.

Ma Hongjun didn't leave until he had ordered all the dishes.

"Sigh~ Oscar, I'm exhausted from working on this spirit ring for you. You have to treat me to a meal to make up for it, right?"

Ma Hongjun patted Oscar on the shoulder and asked jokingly.

Oscar was too exhausted to speak at that moment; if the food wasn't served soon, he might starve to death on the spot.

"Oh!"

Just then, the hotel door was pushed open again, and a group of young people in red school uniforms walked in one after another. Behind them was a middle-aged man with a single eyeglass, who looked like a teacher.

'Canghui Academy? I'd almost forgotten about them. I hope Ma Hongjun and the others will behave themselves and not cause trouble like in the original story. I really don't want to get involved.'

Gu Yi prayed helplessly in his heart. He was exhausted and hungry and really didn't want to fight anymore.

In the original story, it was Ma Hongjun's lewd gaze that sparked the conflict between the two academies.

They even euphemistically called it "a mediocre person who dares not cause trouble."

But in Gu Yi's eyes, this was nothing more than bullying the weak, looking for trouble, and using it as an excuse to satisfy his own selfish desires.

If Canghui Academy were stronger, and the team leader were Shi Nian, Gu Yi would like to see what the final outcome would be.

"Hey, look at that girl, she's pretty good-looking. Boss Dai, these guys must be from Canghui Academy, right?"

Just like in the original novel, Ma Hongjun stared intently at the girl in Canghui Academy with his small eyes, a lewd smile on his face, and his fat face trembling.

"Yes, it's alright, it really is Canghui Academy."

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun mention it, Dai Mubai also looked over. He struck what he thought was a very handsome pose and winked at the girl, clearly flirting with her.

'Damn, they're still trying to cause trouble. Don't they get tired when they see pretty girls?'

Gu Yi slumped onto the table, his face etched with helplessness.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun and his companion's actions also caught the attention of the group of students from Canghui Academy. Seeing their classmate being teased like this, they couldn't stand it any longer and immediately came over.

"Hey! What do you mean? What are you trying to do? Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out, you believe me?"

One of them stood at the front and pointed at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, cursing them.

"Hmph! It's just a small Canghui Academy, what are you so arrogant about!"

As he spoke, Dai Mubai slammed his hand on the table and stood up, kicking the man hard in the stomach, sending him flying.

"I've seen it today, so what?"

Chapter 20 Beating Ye Zhi Qiu

"Ok?"

"Which academy are you from? How dare you be so arrogant? Call your teachers out here!"

Upon seeing his student being bullied, the middle-aged teacher wearing a single-lensed glasses immediately stood up and questioned Dai Mubai and the others.

"We are from Shrek Academy!" Ma Hongjun stood up with a disdainful look and shouted.

"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of this academy before?" The teacher frowned and asked with some doubt.

"That just shows your ignorance," Dai Mubai said, standing up as well.

"Hmph! A few arrogant brats!" The teacher snorted coldly, and his soul power began to condense. The next moment, a bright green Xuan Turtle Martial Soul appeared in front of everyone. Five soul rings appeared under his feet, revealing him to be a Soul King!

"I am Ye Zhiqi, the director of Canghui Academy. Call your teachers out!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed, and they all stood up. They all summoned their martial spirits, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the arena became tense.

Ma Hongjunlong scoffed, "Hmph! We're more than enough to deal with you, why would we need to call for a teacher?"

"Um... esteemed Soul Masters, this is just a small shop. Please, go outside and fight. We really have no choice..."

Seeing that the crowd was about to fight, the owner hurriedly ran out. If he didn't stop them, his shop would probably be ruined.

"It's alright, boss. Go back and serve the food. I won't smash up your shop." Gu Yi reassured his boss, who was now counting on him to serve the food as soon as possible.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle. I'd better finish this quickly."

As he spoke, Gu Yi stepped forward, calmly looking at Ye Zhi Qiu who was encased in tortoise shell, and said in a deep voice, "Expand your domain, Endless Bone Domain!"

The next second, the two of them disappeared from the hotel at the same time.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed this scene in the Soul Arena before and knew it was Gu Yi's doing, so they were unmoved. But the others seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Gone? What kind of technique is this?" Tang San and the others were secretly shocked, very curious about Gu Yi's domain.

The students of Canghui Academy were extremely uneasy. Ye Zhi Qiu's sudden disappearance seemed to have left them without their backbone. Looking at Tang San and the others whose soul power level completely overwhelmed their own, they dared not make any move.

At the same time, Dai Mubai was secretly sneering, mocking Gu Yi's audacity.

'You're courting death! You can handle a Soul Master because the difference in strength isn't that great, but are Soul Kings so easy to deal with?'

"The difference of two spirit rings is enough to drive you to despair, Gu Yi."

……

In the endless bone domain, Ye Zhi Qiu opened his eyes in a daze. He looked at his surroundings and was shocked. Moreover, he could clearly feel that most of the soul power in his body had dissipated.
