Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 82 Four Quasi-Soul Venerables Re-enter the Great Forest

"Oh? You've broken through level 30 too?!"

Flander's eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu gathered around Ning Rongrong, chatting and laughing.

"Wow, Rongrong, you and Zhuqing have already broken through to level 30 so quickly!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect it either. I cultivated for a bit last night, and then I took a nap and broke through."

"Yes, we've all broken through to level 30, that's a good thing."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Oscar coughed twice, glanced at Ma Hongjun standing at the edge, and said with a wicked smile:

"Ahem, there's still one person who hasn't broken through yet."

Ma Hongjun glared at Oscar with annoyance, then gave Zhu Zhuqing a hateful look, his eyes filled with disgust but even more so with greed.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even look at Ma Hongjun; she was content just walking with Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

Flanders said:

"Four quasi-Soul Masters, I'm actually feeling a bit pressured. Zhao Wuji, come in with me. Ma Hongjun, you can go back to the academy by yourself, or stay here and wait for us to come out, it's up to you."

Ma Hongjun's face darkened.

He failed to make a breakthrough, what a disgrace!

Zhao Wuji chuckled. He had lost face in front of these little monsters twice before, and this time he was determined to redeem himself!

And so, Zhao Wuji and Flander led the way, with Yu Xiaogang following, and Bai Yu, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Oscar, and Dai Mubai once again entered the Star Dou Great Forest. The group of ten was quite impressive.

Perhaps because they had been so unlucky the previous two times, they were much luckier this time. Not long after entering the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, they found a plant that was suitable for Ning Rongrong.

On a huge and intricate trellis, countless gourds of varying sizes grew. But the largest one was as big as a truck.

There are no traces of spirit beasts within a radius of 500 meters around this trellis, because any spirit beasts that dare to come here become food for the gourd.

Yu Xiaogang said happily:

"This is a 1,500-year-old jade gourd, perfect for Ning Rongrong as her third spirit ring!"

Flander pushed up his glasses, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and then glanced at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was annoyed. "I thought you were going to make a move!"

Zhao Wuji made his move and soon destroyed the gourd. Ning Rongrong finished it off and then sat down to absorb the soul ring.

While she was absorbing the spirit ring, the master was also introducing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the others.

"Each of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's soul skills is a buff, with a default increase of 10%. However, the reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the strongest support-type martial soul on the continent is because it can ignore the opponent's soul power level and directly provide a buff!"

"In other words, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda increases the power of Great Soul Masters by 10%, and it also increases the power of Title Douluos by 10%! Moreover, the increase will increase by another 10% for each additional Soul Ring."

"If Ning Rongrong successfully absorbs the spirit rings, she will have three spirit rings, so the boost from her previous two spirit skills will also become 30%. In other words, she will give me a 30% boost, and she will also give Flander a 30% boost!"

Everyone nodded, gaining even more recognition of the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"No wonder it's the strongest support-type martial soul; it truly lives up to its name!"

Bai Yu sighed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes and smiled slightly:

"Xiaoyu, stop joking. Your Emperor's Banner isn't bad either!"

Xiao Wu said happily:

"Rongrong, you did it?"

Ning Rongrong stood up, dusted herself off, and smiled:

"My third soul skill is soul power amplification, which can increase your soul power by 30%."

She gave a brief introduction, which greatly excited everyone, and even Bai Yu praised her repeatedly.

Although his Emperor Banner can also amplify soul power, the current amplification is only about 20%, which is not as high as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

However, his Emperor Banner is superior in its versatility, boosting attack, defense, soul speed, strength, agility, and intelligence—something the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda cannot match.

Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong praised each other, both seeing the goodwill in each other's eyes, and smiled knowingly.

Flanders waved his hand:

"There are still three spirit rings left. Don't just stand there, continue!"

That evening, the group found another Netherworld Tiger of suitable age, and Zhao Wuji again took the initiative to obtain it for Zhu Zhuqing as her third soul ring.

While Zhu Zhuqing was absorbing the spirit ring, Zhao Wuji walked up to Flander and said dejectedly:

"Big brother, why do you always give me that wicked smile and then tell me to make a move? I thought you were going to do it!"

Flanders glanced at him and laughed:

"You don't know anything! I'm here to keep things under control; I can't just make a move on my own!"

Zhao Wuji: "."

Flanders asked suspiciously:

Are you insulting me?

Zhao Wuji's face instantly lit up with a smile, and he raised four fingers, saying:

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Flander stared at him silently, and just as Zhao Wuji began to sweat, Zhu Zhuqing's happy voice came:

"It's a success!"

The crowd immediately gathered around, asking for details.

Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill is the Netherworld Slash. She brings her hands together above her head, and the claw-like blades on her ten fingers rapidly fuse together, transforming into a blade about a foot long. Infused with soul power, the black blade condenses in a straight line and slashes down with immense destructive power. It is a close-range single-target attack.

Yu Xiaogang pondered:

"All three of your soul skills are close-range single-target attacks; your future development path is that of an assassin!"

Zhu Zhuqing almost rolled her eyes.

Nonsense, who wouldn't see that?

With three single-target attack skills, are you going to use them for support?

Ignoring the master, the group quickly dispersed to prepare for the night, lest they encounter danger and fall into chaos.

Flanders said:

"Zhao Wuji and I will keep watch, you guys go to sleep."

At this moment, Bai Yu suggested:

"Dean, I think you and Teacher Zhao should go to the outer perimeter to keep watch and prevent large soul beasts from getting close. We eight people should be divided into four groups, with each group guarding for two hours. This way, we can prevent some small soul beasts with strong stealth capabilities from sneaking over."

Flanders raised an eyebrow and said:

"Great idea, Bai Yu! Let's do it that way!"

Zhao Wuji patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and laughed:

"Kid, you've got a lot of experience!"

Everyone cast admiring glances at Bai Yu, who smiled and said:

"How about this, Xiao San, you'll be paired with Master. Xiao Ao, since you haven't become a Soul Master yet, you'll be paired with Mu Bai. Rong Rong and Zhu Qing just broke through today, so let Xiao Wu be paired with Rong Rong. After all, Xiao Wu is already familiar with the Soul Master realm."

As for Bai Yu, he'll naturally be paired with Zhu Zhuqing.

The boys hesitated, but the three girls were very satisfied with the plan. Flander simply waved his hand and said:

"That's settled then. Zhao Wuji and I will go keep watch on the perimeter. You guys take care of yourselves!"

After saying that, Flander and Zhao Wuji disappeared.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and then said to everyone:

"Rongrong, Xiaowu, and Zhuqing are all girls, so our two groups will be on duty for the first four hours. Tang San and Da Shi, and Mu Bai and Xiao Ao will be on duty for the last four hours."

Tang San opened his mouth, then reluctantly closed it again.

Damn it, you've said everything, what am I supposed to say?

Bai Yu glanced at him, secretly amused.

He knew that Tang San was also quite experienced in wilderness survival, so he deliberately spoke first to establish his core position in the team and marginalize Tang San, which was beneficial in no way.

From the moment he entered Shrek Academy until now, he has basically achieved his goal. Now, most of the students at Shrek Academy revolve around him as the core of their team, especially Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who have reached the stage of being more than friends but less than lovers.

"Staying at Shrek Academy will make it difficult to improve our relationship with the two of them; we need to move on to the next plan as soon as possible."

As Bai Yu pondered, midnight arrived.
