Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Grandpa."

Ning Wuque first apologized to the old man to comfort him, and then he was surprised that he had actually communicated with his martial soul for so long.

That doesn't make sense.

They only exchanged a few hundred to a thousand words, which shouldn't have taken a month, right? Or is it that the concept of time in the spiritual world is different from that in the material world?

After all, deep meditation is, in a sense, like taking a nap and accomplishing a series of things that were previously impossible while the flow of time is imperceptible.

That's what sudden enlightenment is like.

But this didn't happen the first time he tried it, so could it be...?

Was the process of him establishing a connection with his martial spirit a form of deep meditation? His semi-deep meditation was merely a bridge to complete this process!

"Wuque, have you made any new discoveries?"

Zhang Can sensed something was wrong. Through Ning Wuque's answer, he knew his adopted grandson all too well. The subtext of his answer was that he had no idea that what he was doing would lead to deep meditation!

If we reverse this statement, it means he can achieve active, deep meditation! This is an incredibly impressive and rare achievement!

What is deep meditation? It's one of the rarest opportunities even titled Douluo can only dream of!

"Yes, there are new guesses, Grandpa. I don't know if they will work for others, because it's actually very difficult to do this."

"It's alright, Wuque. If you write down this method and contribute it to the sect, Grandpa guarantees you'll get access to choose treasures from a higher-level treasury!"

I tried my best.

The rewards are very tempting; it's even possible that Ning Wuque could achieve the Three Rings Ten Thousand Years by relying on the truly valuable items in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasury.

But... to be honest, he didn't even think the sect was capable of verifying his method.

It's not that he's arrogant, but rather that his understanding is too advanced. For at least five years, no one will be able to figure out what his theories are really referring to, even if he personally guides them.

It's like building the Great Ivan. Everyone knows you need to add sugar, but even if you actually go there and someone teaches you step by step, you still won't be able to learn it, right?

Moreover, his deep meditation has limitations; it can only connect with his own martial soul. So, while it has great value, it may not be particularly significant.

But even so, this money is still worth making. He's desperately short of resources right now, and he can never have too much!

"Good boy! By the way, Wuque, the academy's quarterly assessment is coming up soon. Do you have any thoughts on it?"

"Quarterly performance review?"

Ning Wuque scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, as he stuffed food into his mouth, occasionally gulping down saliva to help him swallow. He asked Zhang Can, puzzled:

"Grandpa, what's a quarterly assessment?"

"Oh, this..."

Zhang Can hadn't expected that Ning Wuque really didn't care about his studies at all, although for a genius like him, caring would just be a waste of time.

After thinking for a moment, he explained to Ning Wuque, who was replenishing his energy:

"Quarterly assessments, you can think of them as a unique internal distribution mechanism within our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Although almost all the children in the sect study in the sect's own primary academy, their martial spirit and soul power determine the path they will take in the future...

Through Zhang Can's explanation, Ning Wuque also understood what the so-called quarterly assessment was.

Just like Shrek Academy's annual test, the entire academy would gather together for a match, using rankings to determine potential and future affiliations, and to cultivate their employability in advance.

Those who rank highly will be directly trained as guards, talents, or even future elders to protect the sect, and may even be assigned a direct descendant as a husband or wife.

A child with no background who awakens a good martial soul and high innate soul power can use this to rise to the top in one step, get engaged to a rich and beautiful woman/handsome man from a sect, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Those with lower rankings but combat skills became caravan workers, while those without combat skills learned professional knowledge such as "service," "accounting," "culinary skills," and other miscellaneous professions. After graduation, they were directly assigned to work in the sect's industries.

They are guaranteed a job and a future. As long as they are not lazy, they may not become very rich, but they can live a peaceful and happy life.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is known for its rough and tumble nature, and its generous spending and welfare benefits are absolutely top-notch across the entire continent.

Only the protectiveness of the Body Sect can be compared to this.

"Wuque, what I mean is that I want to secure a good future for you. The assessment only considers rankings, not background or soul power. With your strength, you are undoubtedly number one!"

Zhang Can spoke with immense pride, almost humming softly at the thought of his grandson bringing him honor.

How strong is Ning Wuque now? Even before he had any spirit rings, his physical body was strong enough to crush the weakest thousand-year-old spirit beasts, making him comparable to a normal seven-hundred- to nine-hundred-year-old predatory spirit beast!

And he's only nine years old! This level of strength can only be achieved by those who possess martial souls such as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the White Tiger, under the condition of having full innate soul power!

Those who possess these martial souls have strength comparable to high-level hundred-year-old soul beasts at the second ring level, and their innate full soul power ensures that they will reach level 20 or above by the age of nine.

But what about this year's students?

To put it bluntly, Ning Wuque wouldn't even need to throw a second punch at them! After taking off his heavy armor, they wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow before they were defeated.

Ning Wuque is even stronger now; he has his first spirit ring, which is a thousand years old!

What will the others use to fight? Huh? What will they use to fight!

So Zhang Can was thinking of getting Ning Wuque a good future and treatment, ideally by assigning him a direct descendant of a woman with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger or a little smaller, as long as it can become the core of the sect!

As for Ning Tian? Ah, that's a joke. Sect leaders value stable geniuses, and Ning Wuque clearly doesn't fit that description.

"But Grandpa still wants to hear your thoughts."

Although following Zhang Can's ideas would have been better, he ultimately chose to respect his grandson's opinion rather than act unilaterally.

Ning Wuque was moved by this, then shook his head and replied:

"Grandpa can make the arrangements. I have no objections for now. As you know, I don't care much about these things."

If you were to ask Ning Wuque where he would like to go out for a walk, it wouldn't be Shrek Academy or Mingdu.

Instead—the Body Sect!

He was extremely envious of all the martial arts techniques of the Body Sect. He no longer had the energy to create his own attack methods, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.

But to be honest, he didn't really want to use those fists to fight his way through the entire Douluo Continent.

Showing off and being pretentious is human nature.

As luck would have it, the Body Sect had the equipment ready!

Ning Wuque wanted to wait until he became stronger, or had more say, before going to the Body Sect to make a deal.

After all, he doesn't have a true martial soul, so he won't receive any special treatment in the minds of those crazy people. He might even be driven away before they even see him.

Then it's best not to make a fool of yourself.
