Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

"The competition organizing committee has decided to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter." The referee quickly offered a solution, indicating that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

Ning Mumu generously expressed her understanding, then kicked Tang San and Xiao Wu off the stage with both feet, and smiled at the referee, saying, "Can we announce the results now?"

The referee was somewhat dumbfounded; in all his years in the profession, this was the first time he'd seen an entire team leave the stage. However, his exceptional professionalism suppressed his smile. "I declare the Glass Academy the winner!"

Everyone agrees with this result; they fully agree with it.

As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as expected of the Glazed Tile Academy, their strength is truly overwhelming! Let that piece of shit academy just go.

"Liuli Academy!"

"Liuli Academy!"

"Liuli Academy!"

……

The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, and everyone sincerely congratulated Liuli Academy.

Such a crushing victory is truly rare; Liuli Academy is amazing! After today, Liuli Academy's reputation will soar even higher, and its students will receive even more attention.

Ning Mumu also smiled. She had just sent a telepathic message to her second uncle not to let Tang San go, but because she didn't want Tang San to escape her control.

This time, she could see Tang San and Xiao Wu's obsession with the championship. Considering the demonic energy around them, Ning Mumu guessed that their goal was the championship.

So, if Tang San withdraws from the competition because of what happened today, how will he win the championship? That bitch might hurt or steal the championship from other participants, harming innocent people. This is not what Ning Mumu wants; she doesn't want to involve innocent people.

Moreover, demonic energy is too contagious; once it breaks out, countless people will die.

Fortunately, a curse had already been placed on Tang San to ensure that he could not spread demonic energy.

However, Ning Mumu had a feeling that the time bomb of demonic energy was about to explode, and she didn't know when it would explode.

[Tick-tock tick-tock—]

Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Mumu began to meditate, but a strange voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

What are you?

The mysterious voice replied in a cheeky tone, "Master, I am Cang Jue, the guardian of Spirit Lake!"

Cang Jue? Ning Mumu had never heard of him, but wasn't the Spirit Lake supposed to serve her as its master? How come there's another guardian suddenly appearing?

"Master, Spirit Lake serves you as its master, which means I serve you as my master," Cang Jue said. "Last time you left in too much of a hurry, taking only Spirit Lake but not me."

Cang Jue's voice sounded somewhat dejected. "So I came to find my master myself!"

So, you've been looking for me for over a year?

At this moment, she had entered her sea of ​​consciousness, looking at the white sphere before her with great confusion. It took her over a year to find her master; this Cang Jue must be a bit slow.

Cang Jue wiggled his sphere to Ning Mumu's feet, looking pitiful, and said, "I was supposed to find my master soon, but someone's been watching me, so I have to hide while I search for my master."

After gaining a general understanding of Cang Jue's hiding place and his role, Ning Mumu formed a contract with him.

【Master, after we form the contract, the spiritual energy of the Spirit Lake will belong solely to you!】

Cang Jue spun around happily, saying, "[Moreover, the spatial flow rate within the Spirit Lake is different; one month inside the Spirit Lake is one day outside. That will make your cultivation twice as effective!]"

So, now that the Spirit Lake belongs to me, can I use it however I want? Can others also receive its spiritual energy?

Cang Jue nodded. "As long as the master agrees, all usage rights belong to the master."

"That's great," Ning Mumu thought with relief. "Since demonic energy has appeared in Douluo Continent, spiritual energy is indispensable." Ning Mumu had made up her mind: after the Soul Master Competition, she would open up a new path for cultivation.

If the demonic restoration were to occur, humanity would be utterly powerless to resist, so it's better to prepare in advance. Furthermore, some ordinary people likely possess spiritual roots. This would give ordinary people another option.

Before the advent of spiritual energy, Ning Mumu would never have considered this possibility. But now, with the continuous supply of spiritual energy from the Spirit Lake, Ning Mumu is confident. Give her five years, and she is confident she can cultivate a new generation of cultivators.

Ning Mumu fared relatively well, but Tang San and Xiao Wu were in a terrible situation.

On their way back to the academy, the two were beaten up and returned to Shrek Academy with bruises and swelling on their faces. They then received a lecture from Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flander. Along the way, they were also subjected to many people's disdainful stares.

In short, the two of them were like clowns all day, comical and laughable.

"The Lord saw your match and is very dissatisfied." A black figure suddenly appeared, but the two were unsurprised. The Shadow Envoy liked to appear and disappear without a trace, and they dared not object.

"This was our oversight; we didn't expect Liuli Academy to be so strong," Tang San explained cautiously. "We'll definitely win next time; we'll definitely take the championship."

"Enough! The Lord doesn't like to hear boastful words!" The Shadow Envoy seemed a little angry, but when he looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, his tone softened. "Of course, the Lord still trusts you."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"You are all very talented. Tang San, you have twin martial souls, which are one in ten thousand. Xiao Wu is also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. I have never questioned your strength."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu almost cried. The Master was the best, caring so much about them. Tang San was puzzled. The Master usually looked down on him and Xiao Wu, so why was he praising them? Tang San kept this in mind, but dared not speak.

"The Lord has seen the reason for this competition. He will not punish you; on the contrary, He will help you."

As the Shadow Envoy spoke, he took out two black pills. "Your soul power is still too low. Taking these two pills will help you break through level 50 before the finals."

The two happily accepted the pills, and were extremely grateful to the Lord.

The shadow messenger was very satisfied with their performance and continued, "The Lord is looking forward to your performance. Don't let the Lord down. On the day of the final, the Lord will come to see you in person."

"Really? Really?" Xiao Wu asked in disbelief, almost bursting into tears of excitement.

The Shadow Envoy nodded. "Of course, but if you can't even make it to the finals, you will face the Lord's punishment."

The word "punishment" sounded very serious, and Tang San shuddered, repeatedly expressing his determination to make it to the finals.

After giving the two a warning, the Shadow Envoy left.

Xiao Wu happily swallowed the pill, feeling her whole body full of power, and her soul power was adjusted from level 42 to level 43.

"As expected of a pill given by the Lord, this feeling is amazing!" Xiao Wu skipped back to cultivate.

Tang San looked at the pill in his hand, thought for a moment, and then swallowed it.

"It's definitely a good thing." Tang San smiled as he felt his soul power surge.

No matter what, he was getting stronger. So what if that so-called master had ability? Sooner or later, he would surpass him! Tang San clenched his fist, feeling that he was one step closer to success.

The shadowy figure, seeing that they had finished taking the medicine, returned home satisfied. "You two fools," he thought, "there's no such thing as a free lunch. The Lord isn't some great benefactor; what you gain will ultimately be lost."

Lord: I am a bad person!
