Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 54 Departure, The Great Soul Arena

Flander coughed twice, just as Bai Yu was running towards them. He quickly called out:

"Bai Yu, that's enough for today!"

Bai Yu ran up to Flander. When they were far away, they couldn't see him clearly, but now that he was closer, they realized that Bai Yu was pale and bloodless, breathing heavily, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"No way. Since you've punished me by making me run a thousand laps, I have to finish it."

Flander was also startled, wiped away non-existent sweat, and said:

"Alright, I'm punishing you just to teach you a lesson, not to deliberately mess with you. What if something happens if you keep running like that?"

Ning Rongrong turned to look at him:

"Then you're making him run a thousand laps?!"

Flanders coughed lightly but didn't say anything.

Little did he know that Bai Yu was so stubborn, he would start running without a break and finish all fifty laps!

It was this stubbornness that made Flanders look at him with new respect.

However, the next second, Bai Yu suddenly collapsed to the ground!

Everyone was startled. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu rushed ahead of Tang San, helping him up on either side and heading towards Bai Yu's room.

Before leaving, Ning Rongrong glared at Flander, thinking, "It's all that old man's fault that Bai Yu fainted!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu took the room key from Bai Yu's pocket and opened the door.

The dormitory conditions at Shrek Academy were average, but Bai Yu kept this simple room in good order, except for the desk.

There were many books on the desk, some open, some with bookmarks, and some covered up, making it look messy.

But everyone knows that this is what real reading is all about. Can those guys who just put hardcover books on their shelves for decoration really be called readers? The books are all brand new, what kind of reading is that!

Xiao Wu murmured:

"Wow, Xiaoyu is so hardworking!"

Ning Rongrong also took a look at the layout of Bai Yu's room, but what she was worried about now was not that, but Bai Yu.

Together with Xiao Wu, she carried Bai Yu to the bed, then gave instructions to Dai Mubai and the others who had followed:

"Quickly, go fetch a basin of warm water!"

Dai Mubai and Tang San were stunned and didn't react. It was Zhu Zhuqing who took the initiative to fetch water and quickly brought it back.

Xiao Wu took a towel, soaked it in warm water, wrung it out, and carefully wiped the sweat from Bai Yu's face.

Tang San and Dai Mubai wanted to suggest several times that they take over, since it might be a bit inconvenient for the girls to take care of Bai Yu. However, looking at their serious expressions, Tang San and Dai Mubai couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Soon, Bai Yu opened his eyes.

He couldn't keep his eyes closed any longer; the fragrance was making him cough.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise:

"Xiaoyu, you're awake?"

Bai Yu looked bewildered.

"Did I faint?"

Xiao Wu nodded:

"Yes, you suddenly fainted while running, so Rongrong and I carried you back."

Bai Yu looked at Ning Rongrong and said sincerely:

Thank you.

Ning Rongrong smiled with relief:

"It's okay, I'm just glad you're alright."

Just then, Flanders coughed outside the door:

"Alright, let Bai Yu get some rest. Bai Yu, you have a day off tomorrow to rest properly. Don't run around anymore, understand?"

hypocritical!

The three women cursed inwardly.

Now you know to let Bai Yu rest, but why didn't you know when you punished Bai Yu?

Soon, everyone left. Bai Yu sensed through his jade pendant that no one was watching him, so he comfortably turned over.

Time for bed!

The next day after class, the three girls agreed to visit Bai Yu together. As a result, Dai Mubai and the other two followed along like little shadows. So the six of them went to Bai Yu's room together, only to find that Bai Yu's face was still a little pale, but he was still secretly cultivating.

"Xiaoyu! You injured yourself yesterday, you need to rest properly, how can you train like this?"

Xiao Wu was extremely anxious.

Ning Rongrong echoed:

"Yes, yes, you need to rest well now, otherwise you might damage your foundation!"

Bai Yu smiled weakly:

"Thank you, I understand."

Immediately afterwards, Tang San took the lunchbox from Zhu Zhuqing's hand, walked up to Bai Yu, and smiled:

"Xiaoyu, this is the dinner we brought for you."

Bai Yu took the lunchbox, opened it, and found that he was initially hungry, but suddenly he wasn't.

Holy crap, this is awful food!

Bai Yu said with a strange expression:

"Is the cafeteria still open?"

Everyone was stunned. Dai Mubai said:

"Not yet, what do you want to do?"

Forty minutes later, as everyone looked at the Mapo Tofu and Braised Eggplant on the table, tears welled up in their eyes.

Bai Yu added a bowl of rice to his plate, and noticing everyone staring at him, he coughed twice and said:

"Ahem, everyone, I don't like being stared at while I'm eating, you see?"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu gritted their teeth immediately:

"Bai Yu! Your cooking smells so good, why didn't you tell us?"

Bai Yu looked completely innocent.

"You didn't even ask!"

Under the "coercion" of the two girls, Bai Yu agreed to cook for them when he had time, and everyone left satisfied. Dai Mubai and Tang San didn't stop them either, because they were also craving food.

After dinner, Bai Yu went to bed early. The next morning, he was the first to arrive at the training ground and soon saw Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and others, as well as Ma Hongjun.

Wait, Ma Hongjun has been discharged from the hospital?

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised, and then he heard Oscar's voice coming from another direction:

"Huh? Fatty, you're discharged from the hospital?"

Ma Hongjun's fat face twitched, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Yes, I've been discharged. The hospital director asked the director of Soto City Hospital to treat me; he's a Soul Master specializing in healing."

But the loss of that thing made Ma Hongjun so heartbroken that he wished he could die!

Unfortunately, it was his teacher, Flander, who took the initiative, leaving him with no outlet for his anger.

Fortunately, he managed to keep that thing; if the opportunity arises later, he can try to retrieve it. Although the chance is slim, for Ma Hongjun, even a glimmer of hope is still hope!

After all, not being able to be a ladybug anymore is worse than killing Ma Hongjun!

Soon, Flander walked over, and seeing that everyone had arrived, he nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Very good, everyone line up and follow me into town!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's eyes lit up:

"Is today's training session going shopping?"

Flanders smiled dismissively. "A little girl like you, all you think about all day long."

Dai Mubai seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly blurted out:

"Dean, do you mean you want us to go to the Great Soul Arena?"

Flanders nodded. "That's right!"

At this moment, Tang San asked:

What is the Great Soul Arena?

Dai Mubai introduced:

"It's the place for Soul Battles. Based on the level of the registered Soul Masters, the battles are divided into different tiers. Spectators can place bets, and both the Soul Battle Arena and the Soul Masters earn income. It's a place where many independent cultivators make money."

Flanders continued:

"Not only can you make money there, but you can also hone your combat skills! There are one-on-one, two-on-two, and group battles, but you'll mainly focus on one-on-one and two-on-two battles for now. After all, you're all monsters, so you can't use ordinary training methods to cultivate."

"By the way, Oscar, Bai Yu, and Ning Rongrong, the three of you stay at the academy. Zhao Wuji will be giving you lessons."

Ning Rongrong and Oscar were taken aback, but then they felt it was only natural. After all, they were support-type Soul Masters, and one-on-one or two-on-two Soul Battles were simply too difficult for them.

However, Bai Yu said:

"Dean, we want to go too!"
