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

"Wh...what?! This wretched guy is going to die!"

Wu Feng, standing beside him, cried out in surprise. She looked at Ning Wuque with a face full of doubt and disbelief, never expecting that he, who usually trained so hard, would have a "terminal illness" that could kill him at any time.

This……

Although she didn't really like Ning Wuque, she didn't want this guy who listened to her complaints and teasing to leave.

Wu Feng is just brainless; she's still a child and hasn't reached the point of being heartless.

Ignoring Wu Feng's screams, Ning Wuque silently stared into Ning Tian's eyes, both able to see each other's attitudes and thoughts in each other's eyes.

Ning Tian didn't want Ning Wuque to die so quickly.

Ning Wuque didn't want to get too entangled with Ning Tian, ​​as it wouldn't benefit either of them.

"I have officially developed the first stage of this soul skill. I will show it to you during the quarterly assessment."

"What?"

On the other side, Ning Tian didn't understand the meaning of Ning Wuque's words. What did he mean by "show her"? What was he trying to express?

Ning Wuque wasn't particularly fond of being a riddle solver, and his subsequent words answered Ning Tian's question:

"This soul skill is very dangerous. You will directly experience its power, and... the devastation it will inflict on me. If you still want to keep me company as a dead man by then... then so be it."

After saying that, Ning Wuque closed his eyes and waited quietly for the two to leave.

A smile appeared on her face. Ning Tian forgot the beginning and the middle part. She only heard Ning Wuque's last sentence: "If she still wants to keep him company as a dead man, then so be it!"

"good!"

She nodded emphatically, her mind made up to remain friends with Ning Wuque no matter what. She slowly extended her hand, revealing the gold card that shimmered in the warm sunlight, and promised him:

"So, if your soul skill really satisfies me, this card contains my New Year's money and pocket money saved over the years, totaling ten million gold soul coins."

I'm buying your life! No matter the cost, you'll work for me until you die, you hear me!

"..."

Ning Wuque remained silent, his face displaying an attitude unmoved by money.

In reality, he was already close to kneeling before Ning Tian. A man's knees are worth gold, and this gold was exactly worth ten million taels!

It was just his vanity and desire to look cool that was at play; otherwise, he would have at least said, "It's a deal!"

However, after hearing the second half of Ning Tian's words, Ning Wuque's heart wavered.

Another meaning of this sentence is:

I will do everything in my power to ensure your survival!

"Seriously, I was so moved I almost cried."

Only after Ning Tian and Wu Feng's footsteps faded into the distance did Ning Wuque slowly lower his head and mutter to himself before returning to his meditative state.

Just after Ning Wuque re-entered a state of cultivation.

Just as he had suspected from the beginning, a figure vanished in a flash after witnessing everything.

He was a recorder sent by Ning Tian's father, and he would tell Ning Fengxiao everything exactly as it happened.

This includes the scene where Ning Wuque puts on a great performance and Ning Tian sees through his disguise.

…………

Time is like a patient woman, changing every now and then; in the blink of an eye, a whole month has passed.

The quarterly assessment of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's Junior Soul Master Academy proceeded as scheduled.

Ning Wuque did not skip class today, but quietly waited in the classroom for the teacher to lead them to the competition venue.

Unlike Shrek Academy, the purpose of the quarterly assessment is to differentiate between different groups, so the competition format is a one-on-one elimination system. If you are a support-type Soul Master, you can team up or be matched with a teammate to play two-on-two.

Initially, the competitions were all about the bottom half of the grade challenging each other based on simulated rankings. For example, the 59th-ranked student would play against the 58th-ranked student, and the winner would advance.

Those ranked higher in the first half will pass directly without being challenged. In the second round, they will start by playing against the weakest of the advancing players, continuing until all the advancing players in the second round have played. Those ranked higher will still pass directly.

This competition format ensures that some people with good martial souls but who don't work hard are eliminated, while also preventing talented people who are eager to improve from being overlooked. At the same time, it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of both sides, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

The third round is a draw-based elimination tournament, where opponents are completely randomized until the final winner is determined.

In addition to rankings, the competition also awards performance points, which are judged by the teachers who come to watch the competition.

For example, if you encounter someone whose soul power is five levels higher than yours, and you can't beat them no matter what, as long as you perform well, you can still have a good future.

When Ning Wuque heard about this, he was surprised to find that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was too humane, which didn't quite match the "cannibalistic" style of Douluo Continent.

Look at the freshman assessment at Shrek Academy next door, that's a real battle of the strong! Those who come in last are expelled and kicked out!

Having a large family and a big business makes all the difference.

"Alright, it's time to go."

Soon, led by his class teacher, Ning Wuque left with the rest of the group. He walked at the very back of the line, looking forward to showing off on the field.

Hehe, he spent a whole hour writing the script so he could show off in front of everyone!

He can't wait!

However, to Ning Wuque's slight disappointment, it seemed that his grandfather Zhang Can had already revealed to the sect that he was the first ring of a thousand years and could even defeat a thousand-year-old soul beast. He was assigned to the "genius group" that directly advanced.

His name was not mentioned in the first two matches.

So he could only sit in the spectator seats and watch the other students in his grade fight amongst themselves.

They were all kids with only one ring or even none at all, so their fights were really boring. Often, a sneak attack or a dirty trick could end the match unexpectedly.

Time quickly passed amidst the repeated battles.

In just one morning, all the weaker groups in the entire grade had finished their matches, since there were only 123 children in the whole grade, so it didn't take much time to finish.

In the afternoon, the competition moved to the third round of random elimination matches, and Ning Wuque was called out in the first match!

"The first match of the third round of elimination will be between Ning Wuque and Yu Xiaoxiao."

"Finally, it's my turn to perform! No, I have to hold back, I can't laugh!"

Ning Wuque suppressed a smile, stood up slightly, and walked down from the stands toward the jade arena used for the competition.

He raised his head slightly and glanced around. This grand event not only had sect elders attending, but all the sect disciples who had not yet graduated had come to watch the competition accompanied by their parents or teachers.

Ning Wuque even noticed someone else: Zhang Can, who was sitting in the elder's seat in the distance, smiling and watching him.

"I don't know how you, this weirdo, ended up in our group, but... are you ready for your defeat?"

As soon as they entered the arena, the blue-haired girl on the other side couldn't help but start taunting and provoking them before the battle.
