Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.
Chapter 91 Because she shared a macaron with me
Chapter 91 Because she shared a macaron with me
Apart from Ning Wuque, who had some medical knowledge, the rest of the team could only watch as he used the medicines at hand to give simple treatment to the seriously injured Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo.
"Alright, the spread of the toxins in their bodies has slowed down somewhat. They should be fine before returning to the academy. Elder Xuan, please take these."
After treating their injuries briefly, Ning Wuque took out a box from his storage soul tool containing twelve compressed pieces of thousand-year-old soul beast meat, each the size of an adult's fist, covered in the essence of various herbs.
"Feed them a little every two hours until they are full. This will ensure that the antibodies in their bodies are active as much as possible. Each flesh ball costs four thousand gold soul coins. Remember to reimburse me."
"I understand, Wang Yan. I'll take the three of them back to the academy first. I'll leave the rest to you."
Taking the box, Elder Xuan nodded sadly. He first stored Yao Haoxuan's body in a separate storage soul tool, then took one of the two with him and flew towards the academy at high speed.
This toxin is no joke; they have no support-type Soul Masters or related weapon/beast Soul Masters who can detoxify it.
Only a group of people remained, all of whom were looking at Ning Wuque.
Xixi was still in a state of shock. She held a macaron in her hands, squatted down, and ate it bite by bite, while silent tears fell down her face.
Ling Luochen swallowed some pills to repair her body. She glanced at Ning Wuque, her heart filled with regret and guilt. Why couldn't they have been more careful back then? Was it arrogance?
Slumped on the spot, Dai Yueheng would look up and down, sometimes covering his face and sometimes speechless.
"Wuque, back then... you could have saved Yao Haoxuan, right?"
The tranquil atmosphere was broken. Ma Xiaotao did not question him or shirk responsibility. Instead, she stated a fact: she was also in Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing channel at the time and could naturally see Ning Wuque's movements.
Yao Haoxuan and Xixi both possessed beast-type martial souls. Although they weren't at the forefront like him and Dai Yueheng, they were still quite deep in the fray, with only three or four meters separating them.
Given Ning Wuque's speed at the time, he could have easily taken Yao Haoxuan with him. Although he would have suffered some damage, he could have saved Yao Haoxuan's life, right? But Ning Wuque didn't. Within the shared vision of his mental detection, he clearly grabbed Xixi and retreated.
Ma Xiaotao's words drew everyone's attention, and Dai Yueheng looked at her in shock. Did this woman speak so without thinking?
Of course he saw it too. As the Soul Emperor of the White Tiger Martial Soul, he would never be nearly killed by that kind of explosion. Naturally, he saw the whole scene just like Ma Xiaotao. This is also one of the reasons why he is hesitant at the moment.
But he gave up. Having grown up in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he was taught by his mother how to behave and how to cultivate the manners of the next White Tiger Duke. Such words were clearly inappropriate to say in this situation!
Among the prospective disciples, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi also witnessed the entire incident, but they did not blame Ning Wuque at all. After all, it was already quite good that he was able to save one person, wasn't it?
He was even nearly injured by the explosion!
"Yes, but why should I risk getting hurt to save him? Senior Ma Xiaotao, my duty is only to protect the young master, not any of the others among us."
Ning Wuque's eye twitched slightly. A fire was burning in his heart. It was only because he couldn't beat Ma Xiaotao right now that he was angry; otherwise, he would have made her taste the power of an iron fist.
Instead of spending time here looking for my shortcomings, you should first reflect on your own arrogance. A person who doesn't cherish their own life doesn't deserve to be saved!
I saved Xixi because she shared a delicious macaron with me, but if saving her would have hurt me, I would have given up on doing so without hesitation.
Ning Wuque's words were resolute. His reason for being willing to save Xixi was really that simple. Moreover, if he hadn't anticipated the situation and focused his attention on Xixi in advance, it would have been different.
He certainly wouldn't risk getting injured to save her; these two premises are very important.
"I...I'm sorry."
"Your apology means nothing to me, which is why I'm not keen on joining Shrek Academy."
After speaking, Ning Wuque didn't look at Ma Xiaotao, who was apologizing to him, but instead focused his gaze on Wang Yan, who was under so much pressure that sweat was starting to bead on his forehead:
"Shall we set off immediately, Professor Wang Yan?"
"call--"
Wang Yan didn't reply, but instead let out a deep breath. He was currently organizing his thoughts to encourage the group of kids.
After all, apart from Xixi, who is a Soul King who can barely fight, the other three of them need to recuperate.
This means that the first half and even the middle of the competition will have to rely on the eight students from the Foreign Languages Department! He was really worried that they wouldn't be able to handle this level of pressure.
The teams participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament are at least Soul Masters, with Soul Masters being the norm, Soul Kings as captains being commonplace, and Soul Emperors not being unheard of.
Moreover, they have both a reserve team and a regular team, so the pressure of recovery alone is something they can't compare to.
In contrast, they only had nine people: one Soul King, four Soul Masters, two Soul Venerables, and even two Great Soul Masters. It was practically the standard configuration for a top-tier academy.
Let alone the children, Wang Yan himself is under immense pressure!
"Children...do your best."
In the end, all of Wang Yan's prepared words vanished, leaving only the single sentence, "I did my best," before he responded to Ning Wuque:
"Set off immediately. The sooner we get there, the better the recovery environment will be for Ma Xiaotao and the others. As long as we hold on until they are fully recovered, everything will be alright."
After saying this, Wang Yan led everyone toward the capital of the Star Luo Empire.
The atmosphere among the crowd was somewhat oppressive. Anyone would be demoralized if they encountered such an outrageous incident on their first large-scale event.
"Don't worry too much, everyone. The matches before the Soul Fighting Tournament aren't elimination rounds. If we can hold on for a few matches, the academy might get reinforcements."
Just like Teacher Wang Yan said, we just need to do our best; there's no need to put too much pressure on ourselves.
"Yes, what's it called again? A fantastic training experience! Pressure is what drives motivation, right, Wuque?"
"That's right, but don't expect me to go all out. Just treat me like an ordinary Soul Master."
"No, Wuque, you're a key player for us! It wouldn't be good if we lost the match badly."
"You still care about saving face, Senior San Shi?"
The conversation flowed smoothly, and everyone's spirits lifted considerably thanks to Beibei's initiative.
