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

"Phew—the task is arduous and the road ahead is long. Oh well, let's train first. The schedule for ruling the world can be carried out in actual combat. There's no need to rush."

Emerging from his semi-deep meditation state, Ning Wuque ended his conversation with his martial spirit. The "Reign Over the World" technique wasn't easy to learn, especially since Mu En intended for Ning Wuque to forge a path more suited to him.

Looking up, the moon had reached its highest point in the night sky. It was roughly between 1 and 2 a.m., which meant that he had been communicating with his martial soul for quite some time.

Without taking a long break, Ning Wuque did some preliminary stretching before starting his workout.

And so, time slowly passed.

These days, Ning Wuque is like a fixed-point NPC, with students passing by the training ground seeing him training his body nearby every day while carrying a Soul Nourishing Jade.

Sometimes, older couples who are out for a rendezvous late at night can see each other, which makes them disappointed and they move to another place.

After that, he would be seen refreshing at the Shrek Academy's Great Soul Arena every day from 6 to 8 o'clock. He would usually have two or three Soul Battles, and unless the opponent's Soul Power level exceeded 32, Ning Wuque would not be seen using his Martial Soul.

He relied solely on his superhuman strength and cockroach-like vitality to fight head-on with others. This kind of brutal, hard-hitting competition earned him some fame in just three or four days.

They even have their own "fan group," a bunch of reckless guys who like to use their beast spirits to fight head-on with others, and almost every one of them has fought alongside Ning Wuque.

Some fans would even choose not to use their soul skills, but instead engage in a passionate physical confrontation with Ning Wuque!

Because of this brutal fighting style, the number of spectators coming to the Great Soul Arena during the time Ning Wuque refreshes his battles has been increasing these days.

Having witnessed countless clashes and battles between soul skills, this kind of fight relying solely on physical combat is truly rare.

.........

It was the night before school started.

In the stillness of the night, in the small forest by the Sea God Lake, Ning Wuque leaned against a large tree, waiting quietly.

shasha~

The footsteps approached from afar, and he opened his eyes to look at the person who had come. It was Huo Yuhao, whom he had arranged to meet that morning.

"Brother Wuque, I've arrived."

"Hmm, let Big Bug help check if anyone's around. Be careful, the walls may be eavesdropping."

"Nobody's here. I saw him on my way here. Tell me, kid, are you up to no good?"

Tianmeng's spirit body jumped out from beside Huo Yuhao, put her hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Ning Wuque.

This is the guy. He's been so worried these past few days that he hasn't been able to sleep a wink. Today, he has to figure out what this human kid is up to.

Ning Wuque ignored the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and instead addressed Huo Yuhao:

"Yuhao, everyone has the chance to have opportunities. Now that the giant worm has taken over your body, it is of no use to me. But there is one thing you need to understand: in everyone's mind, a soul beast that is over 100,000 years old is bound to drop a soul bone."

I know this big worm only left you with a silkworm molt, and I'm not interested in that stuff. But others might not know, and they might not feel the same way as me, understand?

"I understand, Brother Wuque."

"Good that you understand. Just focus on your studies at Shrek Academy for now. I'll find another opportunity next year to contact the Body Sect and take you away. It would be a waste for your martial soul and opportunities to remain at Shrek."

Ning Wuque nodded. He had come here to give Tianmeng and Xiaoyuhao a heads-up. His actions these past few days and his words at this moment were both conveying a sense of reassurance.

Given that Yuhao is still young and has had his previous experiences, he will most likely regard this person who knows the secret of his destiny as the only person he can completely trust from now on.

This is actually an application of psychology.

At the same time, he had no desire for Tianmeng's silkworm molt. Although it was a treasure, it was not as valuable to him as gaining Huo Yuhao's deep trust.

What can he do with the silkworm molts? It seems useless except for selling or collecting them. Oh, and they can also be used as bait for fishing at Hyotei, which is another use.

But once he can defeat Hyotei, will he still need to go through all this trouble to hook her up? He can just head straight for the core area of ​​the far north!

Moreover, he doesn't have that need. On the contrary, the Titan Snow Demon King's soul ring and soul bone would be more suitable for him, as would that white bear.

Of course, the most suitable ones are undoubtedly the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji. Ning Wuque has always been thinking about making them his eighth or ninth spirit rings, which might even help his martial spirit advance further!

"Well, Brother Wuque, is there anything else? I'm planning to go back to my dorm to cultivate; my talent is just too poor..."

Huo Yuhao did not question Ning Wuque, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with his arrangements. Brother Wuque was now the person he trusted the most.

First, he didn't harm him but helped him; second, he didn't expose him but protected him; and third, and most importantly, he never coveted Brother Tianmeng in the slightest, including the only silkworm shell that Brother Tianmeng left him.

He has been having a very fulfilling time at the academy these days, much happier and more enjoyable than he was at the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

All of this is thanks to Brother Wuque; we can never repay his kindness!

"Well, it's not a big deal, just a little reminder. You're still young, and your thinking is easily shaped by others and your environment. Personally, I don't really recommend that you follow some of Shrek's educational philosophies."

The reason is that I see the hatred in your eyes, but I won't inquire about it. However, this hatred can easily distort your thinking and mislead your decisions.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's stunned expression, he continued:

"Past scars will not be erased by time, just as a person with a missing piece of the body is destined to lose some of the feelings of a normal person. Your thoughts can only be controlled by yourself, and right and wrong can only be judged by your own feelings."

Unfortunately, you won't learn these things at Shrek Academy, and similarly, I won't impose my own views and ideas about the world on you.

Feel free to come to me with any questions or concerns. I'd be happy to listen to your struggles, doubts, and joys, offering comfort, advice, and sharing in your happiness.

After saying that, Ning Wuque revealed a warm smile. He did not impose his own ideas on Huo Yuhao, but was willing to listen and correct some of the mistakes in Huo Yuhao's understanding.

Huo Yuhao felt a sense of relief at this. The feeling of having a listener he could completely trust enveloped his incredibly fragile heart with a sense of security, warmth, and reliability.

It tore down the barriers of hatred, shattered the sealed cage, and pierced the darkness woven from blood and glue.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Wuque! I...I..."

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time. You can say whatever you want when you think the time is right. There's no need to rush."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression as if he wanted to tell him something, and those eyes that revealed sadness and hatred, he interrupted him.

Now is not the time; too much of a good thing can be bad.
