Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

That day, Ning Rongrong was suddenly framed by her own cleverness and wit, and even the competition became boring.

Qian Shui persecutes Ning Rongrong on a daily basis. Although Qian Renxue learned everything from Qian Shui, Qian Shui is also a descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In her previous life, she called her "wife" to her. I wonder what kind of grudge these two have against each other.

However, the blame mostly falls on Qian Renxue herself. She understands the principle of "why flirt if you're not going to marry," but the problem is, it's already happened, and it's too late to understand now.

Xiao Wu patted the dejected Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, how should we fight?"

But then Ning Rongrong pouted and pointed at Ning Huahua, saying, "Ask her!"

"I don't know~ I can't~"

Ning Huahua, who had already taken several steps back, suddenly accelerated and slipped off the field. Someone enjoys watching girls fight, but doesn't want to become a girl fighting with another girl.

Ning Huahua had already left, so Ning Rongrong had no choice but to explain: "Although there is still one round left in the competition, the teams that will actually advance have already been determined."

Including us, we are Thunder, Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Heavenly Water.

Apart from the Tianshui Academy team, we have played against the other three teams, and we have definitely won against them all, but we must not be careless.

Aside from Ning Huahua, Tianshui Academy is the only team in the entire Tiandou region with a player at the Soul Master level or higher, and their captain, Shui Bing'er, is also among them. Like us, they maintain a perfect record of 27 wins.

Logically speaking, the best option would be for one of us to forfeit and then face off again in the finals. Ning Huahua, that woman, surely understands this, and I have no idea what she's thinking.

With Ning Huahua gone, the atmosphere began to lighten. For example, while Ning Rongrong was explaining, Ma Hongjun was privately talking to Dai Mubai: "Hey, Boss Dai, I heard that Tianshui Academy only admits beautiful girls!"

"That's true, I've watched two of their matches, wow! Those figures!"

His gossipy remarks naturally displeased the girls, and Zhu Zhuqing even slammed the door and left. Ning Rongrong slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Hey! If you want to see, then go see! Don't be so nosy!"

"Rongrong, you make the arrangements. Why do you care what she does? She just beat Feng Xiaotian, is that any reason for her to be so arrogant?"

"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong sneered. Although Dai Mubai was strong, among the classmates from Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong looked down on this third prince of the Star Luo Empire the most, especially after getting to know him.

How many hardships would Zhu Zhuqing, a twelve-year-old girl, have to endure to reach the Heaven Dou Empire and find her fiancé? But when she arrived, she discovered that Dai Mubai was such a hopeless and self-destructive person.

Therefore, she understands Zhu Zhuqing very well and will not try to help them mend their relationship.

Although it must be admitted that Ning Huahua, despite her foolishness, is more insightful than Ning Rongrong herself. Ning Huahua has her own ideas about not caring about anything, just like how she focuses on cultivating Zhu Zhuqing.

What a person says is not important; what matters is what they do. Behind Ning Huahua's seemingly foolish behavior, all her actions are guided by her own logic, which Ning Rongrong naturally comes to agree with as she understands it more and more.

"Dai Mubai, to put it bluntly, your Star Luo Empire's family background has nothing to do with us, but if you really want to compete for the throne, Zhu Qing is indispensable! You still haven't been able to use the Netherworld White Tiger, whose fault is that? Do you expect Zhu Qing to fawn over you?"

Caught off guard, Dai Mubai instantly flew into a rage, "Ning Rongrong! This is my family matter! It's none of your business!"

Ning Rongrong retorted sharply, mocking without hesitation, "Aren't you a Casanova? What? Even a Casanova can't handle his own fiancée?"

Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Ning Rongrong, don't test my patience. This isn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but I, Dai Mubai, am not! If you anger me, be careful I'll rape you first, then kill you, then rape you again, and then kill you again!"

If it were the Ning Rongrong of the past, she would probably be possessed by a little devil again, and it would be unreasonable not to give Dai Mubai a good beating.

However, the inner strength she had gained from years of cultivation far surpassed any progress in her physical abilities or soul power. She sat unmoved on the sofa, her eyes calm and fearless, and said, "Aren't you angry now? So what? I'm right here, why don't you try?"

"you!"

Ning Rongrong's words clearly implied something, explicitly telling him where he was.

Regardless of whether Ning Huahua left or whether any teacher was present, if Dai Mubai dared to touch Ning Rongrong, Qian Shuishui, who was otherwise unnoticed, would immediately reveal her terrifying side.

This child doesn't care about any major competition, Heavenly Battle Star Luo, or classmates and teammates. As long as she decides you are worthy of being killed, she will definitely kill you. No one in this room combined can stop her.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Oscar stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, Rongrong, Boss Dai was just saying that out of anger. We're all teammates, why bother?"

Ma Hongjun also pulled Dai Mubai back, "Yeah, yeah, Boss Dai, we still have a competition later. Let's vent our frustrations afterwards. Why be hung up on just one girl?"

"We'll talk after we've finished!" With that, Dai Mubai slammed the door shut and left without looking back.

"Hey, Boss Dai, where are you going?" Ma Hongjun, who was following closely behind, also ran out.

As the two walked along the corridor of the Great Soul Arena, Dai Mubai asked, "Fatty, what are your plans after the competition?"

"Plans? Continue going to school, what else can you do?"

"Come back to the Star Luo Empire with me! You've seen it yourself, if we continue going to school, we'll definitely be suppressed!"

"Oh? I'll have to ask the teacher. But he's been very busy lately, I don't know where he is."

"Okay, let's wait until the match is over."

"Hehe~ If the teacher agrees, I'll be living the high life with you, Boss Dai. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is so boring, I haven't had any satisfaction in almost two years!"

The person who was supposed to be a hands-off manager was completely unaware of the situation. He had completely slipped away from the game, not listening, not watching, and not knowing anything. He was sitting side by side with Ling Yunzhi and his wife, Yin Jin, and Feng Jingyi, chatting and waiting for the game to begin.

"Brother Zhi, it has to be you. We wouldn't be as popular with girls~ Right, Brother Shui?"

With a playful grin on his face, Yin Jin felt much better. Since Feng Jingyi was in good health and they had already met, there were fewer reservations, and they could joke around freely.

"Indeed, she has a harem of three thousand beauties!"

"Where are you going to say three thousand? Team leader, don't talk nonsense. We can't compare to you at all~" Ling Yunzhi smiled slightly and subtly changed the subject.

Qian Shui protested, "Tsk, what's wrong with me? It's just my way of showing my love for my wife!"

Silver Gold: "Ah, yes, yes! We'll always be together~ Holding you in my arms at night, becoming you during the day~"

"So what! Can you even do it?!"

"I can't do it, I can't do it!" "Forget it, forget it~"

The group's banter made Shui Zhen'er giggle.

Once upon a time, these guys were like stars in the sky, unattainable for ordinary people like her.

However, after several days of interaction, it turns out that these peerless geniuses are just two-legged people, and not particularly special.

Just like this year's elite competition, which is generally filled with exceptionally talented students, it looks no different from the competition they participated in back then.

"Hey, hey, Brother Shui, you're in!"

"Look how happy you are! You dare to act like this even with Lingling around?"

"I'm not here, am I? You can't imagine the freedom of being alone!"

Qian Shui rolled her eyes. Freedom? She wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

But the flowers at home will satisfy him, why would he want wild flowers?

Of course, as a proper man, Qian Shui understands Yin Jin's feelings, after all, no man can resist a girl group!

Amid cheers from the nearly packed audience, the emcee's booming voice rang out, announcing, "We've finally arrived at the final round of the qualifiers! Please welcome the Tianshui Academy team and the Tiandou Royal Academy team to the stage!"

As the exciting music began, the Tianshui Academy team, dressed in light blue team uniforms and having arrived early at the center of the stage, began a warm-up dance.

"Wuhu! Awesome!"

Yin Jin and Qian Shui, the most unconventional members of the original Martial Soul Team, both stood up and cheered enthusiastically along with the audience.

However, Qian Shui quickly noticed Xue Qinghe's gaze, which was unusually coming from the VIP seats, and reluctantly sat back down in her seat.

Last night, Qian Renxue danced a song just for him. The process was quite complicated, unpredictable, and full of twists and turns.

In short, he's acting so agitated; he's probably going to suffer tonight. Why bother?

While the men were filled with excitement, Shui Zhen'er started chatting with Feng Jingyi: "Xiao Feng, if you had encountered Bing'er and the others back then, you would definitely have lost, right?"

"Even if we all fail, Xiao Shui will move."

"That's good, he's not as rough as you~" Clearly, Shui Zhen'er still remembered the incident of breaking her heels.

Feng Jingyi: "..."

Ling Yunzhi turned around and reminded her, "Zhen'er, you didn't mock the team leader back then, so Xiao Feng was probably gentle too..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shui Zhen'er said, seizing on Ling Yunzhi's weakness.

"Uh!"

The small theater didn't affect Qian Shui, who had been forced to calm down. He analyzed the situation, something he hadn't done in a long time: "Ice Explosion is also Shui Bing'er's fifth soul skill?"

Ling Yunzhi understood that Qian Shui was referring to the fifth soul skill from the Ice Jade Scorpion, but he did not answer directly. "Bing'er's martial soul is the top-tier beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix. Her talent is far superior to mine. She is now a level 57 control-type battle soul king."

"So her Ice Blast is a powerful killing technique?"

"Yes, including the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it hasn't been used yet."

"Tsk, then we're bound to lose..."

"Shui Shui seems to want to choose someone stronger than you were back then, so why is she worried about losing?"

"In a one-on-one fight, with killing techniques against killing techniques, Shui Shui might be the last one standing. But if it's a battle of souls, it's hard to say. I hope they both hold back."

"Bing'er is kind, but she also has her pride. She is too serious and unwilling to accept failure, but she would never do anything to hurt others."

"Uh... my apprentice, it's really hard to say what might happen if he goes crazy..."

The two exchanged a glance, both noticing each other's awkwardness; one softened her tone, the other hardened it.

Once both sides had taken their positions, the referee announced, "Both sides, prepare yourselves. You may release your martial spirits now."

"Brother Shui, what are the kids in Team Two doing?" Yin Jin frowned and looked at Qian Shui.

Qian Shui narrowed her eyes slightly because the lineup of the Royal Fighting Team 2 was very strange. First of all, there were four girls huddled together, with a bewildered Oscar between Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Ling Yunzhi also noticed the problem, but he changed the subject, saying, "That chubby boy has the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, right? He's quite a good match for Bing'er."

Before Qian Shui could speak, Yin Jin said with some disdain, "Forget it, that kid has a flawed martial soul and is naturally dissolute. He is not worthy of your Shui Bing'er."

When the topic turned to that, Shui Zhen'er said with a wry smile, "Yue'er is about the same..."

Qian Shui also recalled the setting that the mother dolphin was the prototype of a succubus, "Shui Yue'er? Is she also one of yours? Martial Soul Dolphin... that's certainly powerful..."

"It's just that the chubby boy is a bit shabby, otherwise the two of them would be a perfect match."

"Let me take another look, let me take another look."

If Ma Hongjun has Qian Shui keeping him in check, that's fine. If the Ice and Snow Emperors get involved, the evil fire can be suppressed. They can also reduce the amount of fat on him. They can figure out a way to deal with it later. It shouldn't be a big problem.

But the situation on the field today is hard to predict. Qian Shui doesn't know what happened, but he trusts the person involved.

Ning Rongrong rarely acts silly anymore; instead, she has become the core of the team, the most mature one. It's fine if she doesn't hang out with those two, but if the conflict escalates to the point where they can't let go of their prejudices during the competition, then it's no longer a trivial matter to joke about.

He'd given them a chance. If they turned over a new leaf, fine, but if they were to revert to their old ways, he wouldn't mind personally crippling them.

"The team isn't united, they're bound to lose, I'm too lazy to watch. Sister Feng, help control the situation, you help with healing, and notify them to have a meeting after the match. I'm outta here."

"Hey, Brother Shui!"

After patting Yin Jin on the shoulder and giving him some instructions, Qian Shui disappeared without a trace.
