Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 73 Soul Guidance Device Academy

Since those hidden weapons were disassembled and reassembled, His Holiness the Pope has become obsessed with soul tools for some reason. He even spent a huge sum of money to open an academy in Wuhun City to study soul tools.

None of the elders of the Spirit Hall, or even the one in the Hall of Offerings, dared to voice any objections, but just as the proposal was about to be made, one stubborn person finally stood up.

With his cultivation level of over thirty Soul Masters, he openly advised His Holiness the Pope to stop this project, which required long-term investment and was unlikely to yield results.

"So, His Holiness the Pope didn't kill him?"

Walking side by side with Ning Rongrong, Oscar listened to his girlfriend's vivid description and was clearly puzzled.

"No, how should I put it?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head and looked at Oscar: "His objections were naturally rejected, but His Holiness the Pope isn't some ignorant and cruel person. How could he possibly take someone's life just because of opposition?"

"Moreover, that guy is indeed quite capable; the current Starry Sky Merchant Guild is still jointly led by him and my father."

"He is not simple."

When talking about that seemingly dull but actually shrewd young man, Ning Rongrong dared not be careless in the slightest, and even secretly guarded against him every time they met.

Unfortunately, even Ning Fengzhi suffered considerable losses in negotiations at the table.

As the two were talking, they saw a group of law enforcement officers patrolling ahead, blocking their way. In the middle of the officers' group, more than a dozen burly, muscular men stood timidly together, most of them carrying heavy tool bags, and some even carrying huge forging hammers.

Their eyes involuntarily darted across the bustling street, their faces filled with fear and unease.

The blacksmith in charge, meanwhile, confronted the law enforcement officer with a face full of anger.

"What happened?"

Ning Rongrong walked forward curiously, and the moment she turned around and saw her, the law enforcement officer beside her immediately lit up.

"Miss Rongrong, you've arrived!"

"Just call me Ning Rongrong, I'm nothing special."

Ning Rongrong politely took a step back, but her expression turned cold: "Falec, if you have extra time and energy, you should spend it on patrolling or cultivating, instead of wasting your time here with me."

"As you can see, this is the boyfriend I mentioned last time, Oscar."

The young law enforcement officer's expression changed slightly. When he saw Oscar next to Ning Rongrong, his expression shifted between light and dark, eventually turning into one of dejection.

Two months ago, when he first saw the girl in a snack shop with her mouth stuffed full, looking as cute as a squirrel, this newly appointed law enforcement officer was immediately captivated by her. After making inquiries, he learned that this girl, who liked to wear a blue plaid skirt and would walk to the food street every afternoon after leaving the Chamber of Commerce, was actually the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The most troublesome thing is that she already has a boyfriend.

Under immense pressure and intense resentment, this cultivation genius from a fallen family ultimately decided to express his love on a sunny afternoon, only to meet a tragic end.

He wasn't one to cling on relentlessly, nor did he like to trample on his dignity. But sometimes, when he was down, he would suddenly think of his grandmother, who had worked hard all her life, and the words she would tell him by the fireplace at night. A strength and determination beyond his years would always well up in his heart.

But today should come to an end.

"In that case, I will not bother you again."

With a slight smile, Falco bowed, straightened his collar in front of the two men, turned and strode back into the group, walking with unusually brisk and resolute steps.

"Haha, Rongrong is really popular."

"Where is that person? It's so strange."

Ning Rongrong shook her head, glanced cautiously at Oscar, and saw that he was just scratching his head blankly, smiling without being angry, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"How could I be so petty?" Oscar said with a mischievous smile, holding the soft body in his arms. "Isn't it a good thing that my little cutie is popular? It proves that I didn't misjudge her."

"Ugh, there are so many people around, get out of the way!!!"

"Wait, Rongrong, that person looks familiar."

Carefully removing the pink fist pressed against his face, Oscar looked at a gray-haired, burly old man in the blacksmith's team with a puzzled expression: "I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite remember."

The old man had a strong, muscular physique, and his hands were covered in thick calluses, clearly indicating that he was a skilled craftsman who had been immersed in the forging industry for many years. Although he looked tired and rarely spoke in the crowd, the people around him subtly protected him, suggesting that he was not an ordinary person.

"Let's go ask what's wrong first."

Seeing a group of grown men surrounded by law enforcement officers with long faces, Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, but still pulled Oscar forward quickly.

"Hello, may I ask why these people were stopped?"

Ning Rongrong changed direction, ignoring the gazes directed at her, and asked the law enforcement captain who was standing at the front, holding a strange snake spear.

"Mind your own business."

The law enforcement captain, looking annoyed, glanced at Ning Rongrong. He had just uttered a few words when he seemed to remember departmental regulations and could only speak obediently: "These people are without permission and are suspected of entering the prohibited area of ​​Wuhun City, so they need to be detained. We'll find out their identities first."

Restricted area?

With a city entry permit, you can explore most parts of the vast Wuhun City. The only places you are not allowed to enter at will are the Papal Palace, the Hall of Worship, the Library, and the newly built Soul Guidance Device Academy.

"So, these people want to go to the Soul Tool Academy?"

Looking at the outfits of the group and the tools peeking out of their backpacks, Ning Rongrong had a sudden realization.

The enforcement captain looked bewildered: "I haven't even said how you guessed it?"

"Is that so hard to think of?"

Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow, smiled in response, and looked at the group of restless blacksmiths.

Some of the concepts mentioned in the research courses these past few days not only require extremely high levels of soul power cultivation to realize, but more importantly, the forging and maintenance of certain special metals can only be done by blacksmiths with superb skills.

"It seems Elder Ju has been extremely busy these past few days. I can understand; being at His Holiness the Pope's beck and call at any time, while also managing the soul tools, he certainly has no time to spare."

Ning Rongrong shook her head, her tone somewhat helpless: "Find some people to escort them to the academy gate, and someone will naturally come out to greet them then."

"Who are you?"

The enforcement captain's eyes instantly sharpened.

Do you recognize this?

Ning Rongrong took out a small silver-gray badge and waved it in front of him.

The captain's gaze softened instantly, and he even bowed slightly to her, placing his right hand on his chest in a gesture of respect.

"I will follow your instructions."
