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

"You! You—! You… never mind."

Ning Tian bit his lip, looked up at Ning Wuque who was pretending to be stupid and felt a surge of displeasure. At a time like this, you only accept it if the girl herself speaks up?

But... when Ning Tian thought about Ning Wuque's own problems and his family's rules, he couldn't bring himself to blame Ning Wuque.

Reckless people can throw themselves into anything for their emotions.

But a clear-headed person knows which emotions are acceptable and which should be severed.

Clearly, Ning Wuque was the latter. He understood perfectly what Ning Tian's hints were trying to convey, but he pretended not to understand.

However, Ning Tian activated her special skill as a spoiled young lady—being willful! Since Ning Wuque didn't want to bring it up, she was determined to make things clear to him!

"Wuque, according to the rules of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile family, since ten thousand years ago, every direct descendant with innate soul power reaching level eight, or the designated young sect leader, must go to Shrek Academy to recruit talents for the sect and for themselves."

My mother and father met and fell in love at Shrek Academy, and seven of the current sect elders are friends my father made back then.

Under the shade of the trees, the sun began to set, its dim afterglow illuminating Ning Tian's resolute face. She lowered her arms, her shyness vanishing as she calmly looked at the boy leaning against the tree trunk not far in front of her.

"I am a member of the family and have enjoyed a life of luxury since childhood. After being designated as the next sect leader, I have also received the highest level of treatment. Therefore, I must fulfill my duties."

"Go to Shrek Academy, the top academy on the mainland, to recruit geniuses for the next generation of our sect and select... excellent partners for the continuation of my family."

"If the young master means for me to help you select talent, I think this brute is probably not up to the task."

Leaning against the tree trunk, Ning Wuque slowly lowered his head. The weighted forging equipment on his body was incredibly heavy, but it was nothing compared to the difficulty he was about to face:

"However, I think I'm quite suitable as a benchmark for testing. The real geniuses who deserve you shouldn't be unable to pass my test."

He's still pretending to be stupid.

His face, with his head bowed, was absolutely calm. At this moment, he couldn't let the friendship he had built with Ning Tian over the years cloud his judgment!

Once they agreed to Ning Tian's request, they were both thrilled. One of them, driven by love, successfully indulged in his desires, while the other, with a beautiful and wealthy woman as his backing, happily began to develop.

but!

This is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Tian is the young sect master. Before her father clearly states his position, Ning Wuque cannot presume to guess what the other party is thinking.

Yes, I have indeed contributed a lot over the years. Whether it is the Ring Explosion Secret Technique, the Soul Skill I created, or helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to explore a new direction for evolution, none of these are small matters.

But what gives him the right to be arrogant? What makes him think that Ning Tian's parents and even the elders of their entire family would just stand by and watch a gifted junior be with a kid who's like a ticking time bomb?

Perhaps the other party allowed Ning Tian to keep playing with him just for the knowledge that popped into his head from time to time? After all, he could indeed create a completely new, theoretically most achievable direction for the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Ning Tian can be capricious without end because she is exceptionally talented, and because she is the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

But Ning Wuque is not good enough; he is not qualified.

Knowing these things clearly, he should have remained calm when facing Ning Tian's almost confessional words!

One wrong step can lead to eternal regret, and millions of dollars can turn to dust in an instant.

For the sake of power, many things can be abandoned, disregarded, and persisted in!

Across from her, Ning Tian remained silent as she watched Ning Wuque continue to feign ignorance. She looked at the boy who was forcing himself to remain calm in front of her, and her mind flashed back to the daily interactions she had shared with him over the years.

Watching him train with Wu Feng.

Watching him collapse to the ground in ecstasy after breaking through his limits.

Watching him burn the midnight oil reading countless books, seeing him regard time as the most precious treasure, unwilling to waste a single moment.

Resilience, self-reliance, perseverance, and fortitude—these admirable qualities seem to be constantly embodied in this boy.

But he could also bicker with Wu Feng in his spare time, or express his feelings through the scenery in order to make her smile.

He will not refuse his reasonable requests, nor will he allow himself to be disappointed when he is expecting them. He will not let his thoughts be swayed by flattery or fawning. He is as taciturn and sincere as a true friend.

Ning Tian was so happy to become friends with him that she didn't want them to just be friends.

Slowly, after a moment of silence, she spoke:

"Wuque, you are also a genius. When you get to Shrek Academy, no one in the younger generation will be your match. You can easily become the current Shrek Seven Devils."

Just because the sect can't help you doesn't mean Shrek Academy can't! You are a true genius, a genius I, Ning Tian, ​​have watched grow up from childhood, a genius far more talented than any genius I've ever heard of!

"Do you know the White Tiger Duke's Mansion? There's a genius there named Dai Huabin. He's about the same age as you, with a soul power level of 32, but he can't beat you!"

Even if he and his fiancée use a spirit fusion technique, I don't believe you'd lose with your abilities!

The girl's words faded into the afterglow of the setting sun, and on the horizon, the evening glow began to sink along with the horizon:

"You've already surpassed my standards of excellence. Come with me to Shrek Academy, and become a genius worthy of me, okay?"

"If you just want to break free from the constraints of your family, I can help you..."

"You bastard!!!"

Before Ning Wuque could finish speaking, Ning Tian rushed forward and punched him hard in the head, his loud voice filled with anger.

Ning Wuque didn't move, his head was slightly turned to the side after being hit, and he remained silent.

tick.

With his head bowed, his eyes saw the girl's tears falling at his feet.

Suddenly, a soft, fragrant embrace enveloped Ning Wuque. She felt herself being held, her shoulder resting on Ning Tian's chin. She growled in a low, angry voice:

"I've already bought out your life. Do you think my money and resources are so easy to take? I'm ordering you now, ordering you to have some confidence and show some of your genius pride and agree to my request!"

I know what you're afraid of: being afraid of my family's rejection, being afraid of dying at any moment, being afraid of hurting me, but... but... but...

As Ning Tian spoke, she began to sob. She had been looking forward to this confession for a long time, and had even made the decision to go against her family's wishes, but she was rejected by Ning Wuque time and time again.

Why, why!

"it is good."

"well?"

"If I reject you again, we won't even be able to be friends anymore, Ning Tian."
