Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 34 Heading to Sunset Forest

Ning Rongrong, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan.

The three of them rode in a carriage on their way to Sunset Forest.

Inside the carriage, Ning Rongrong looked at the map in her hand.

"This journey takes several months to complete, no wonder Father didn't come with me." As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi couldn't possibly wander around aimlessly for months like Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, what are you looking at?" Ning Rongrong muttered to herself. Dugu Yan couldn't help but peek over, her purple hair emitting a faint fragrance.

"Let's see how far it is to Gengxin City."

"Gengxin City, what kind of place is that?" Dugu Yan's voice was slightly puzzled as she looked at Dugu Bo, who was quietly studying a medicine book on the other side of the carriage. "Grandpa, do you know?"

"I have a vague recollection of it; it seems to be the main city in the southeastern part of the Star Luo Empire." Dugu Bo closed the book with his hand, a hint of doubt appearing between his brows. "Young Sect Master, what are you going to Gengxin City for?"

"Senior Dugu, you can just call me Rongrong. Calling me Young Sect Master in private feels a bit too formal." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then continued, "I want to bring the blacksmiths from Gengxin City to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"A blacksmith?" Dugu Bo looked slightly surprised. "Gengxin City is famous for its forging. I bought my medicine bag in Gengxin City. However, blacksmiths don't have a high status on the mainland."

"If they have a high status, it will be difficult for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to win them over," Ning Rongrong said with a light laugh. "I hope they can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and help with the research on soul tools."

"Researching soul tools?" Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were taken aback.

"This is it." Ning Rongrong patted the object on her right wrist, which was engraved with flame patterns and looked somewhat like some kind of concealed weapon.

"Is there anything special about it?" Dugu Bo asked with curiosity.

Before leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong said she would go to the blacksmith shop in the school to get something. When she came back, she found this strange device on her wrist.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a supporting sect.

It's normal for the young sect leader to have some security measures when he goes out, so Dugu Bo didn't ask any further questions.

Now it seems that it's not just that.

"It's a semi-finished level one soul tool. I'll show you its power later."

It's not really appropriate to use a soul tool in a carriage or something like that.

Driven by curiosity, the group quickly arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Since they might not come out from this side later, the sect disciples pulling the cart were sent back.

"Rongrong, quickly try out the soul tool." Dugu Yan walked quickly to Ning Rongrong. He had heard Ning Rongrong talk about soul tools a lot along the way, and Dugu Yan felt like he was itching to try it.

"Then let Sister Yan Yan try out that soul tool."

Ning Rongrong took off the soul tool from her hand and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan took the soul tool with a bewildered look on her face.

"A soul tool will most likely break after ten uses, so keep it for five uses. It might come in handy when we get to Gengxin City," Ning Rongrong said.

Dugu Yan looked down at the soul tool in her hand and murmured, "Can I use such a precious thing as I please?"

"It's just a semi-finished product. If it breaks, we can just make another one. It's just that we're not skilled enough at the craft yet."

"Oh, I see." Dugu Yan put the soul tool on her wrist. "How do I use it?"

"Activate the safety button below your wrist, then aim at the target and input your soul power."

"A level one soul tool requires the soul power of a one-ring soul master to input; inputting more is meaningless."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded.

Point the soul guide at a tree about seven or eight meters away, about half a meter wide.

"boom"

The cannon trembled slightly, and in an instant, a red fireball flew out and hit a tree trunk in the distance.

The tree trunk creaked, immediately caved in, and a small flame ignited.

"This is amazing!"

Following Ning Rongrong's suggestion, Dugu Yan tried again. The tree, which had been hit twice, cracked open from the middle with a creaking sound, and the flames that erupted from the tree trunk became even more intense.

Dugu Bo waved his hand, releasing his soul power to extinguish the flames. Just as he put the flames down, he saw Dugu Yan holding a soul tool in both hands and handing it to him.

"Grandpa, you can try it out, but only three times. You have to save five attacks for Rongrong."

Dugu Bo nodded and put on the soul tool.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Three incendiary bombs landed on the same tree, setting the trunk ablaze. The continuous attack caused the battered tree to collapse with a crash.

Dugu Bo raised his other hand and waved it, using his soul power to extinguish the flames once more.

"This is truly an incredible thing." Compared to Dugu Yan's naivety, Dugu Bo, as a titled Douluo, could easily guess the future prospects of this thing.

"Rongrong, what's your estimate of the limits of this kind of soul tool?"

Dugu Bo returned the soul tool to Ning Rongrong. Because Ning Rongrong insisted that it was unnecessary to address him as the young sect leader in private, Dugu Bo changed his address.

"That's the limit!" Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "A level one soul tool is equivalent to a one-ring soul master, and so on."

"Hiss—" Dugu Bo gasped.

And so on?

I never expected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or rather, Ning Rongrong, to have such great ambitions.

Is this a plan to use soul tools to allow support soul masters to rise to prominence?

Soul tools only require soul power to use, completely bypassing the limitations of martial souls, and seem to be more cost-effective in assisting soul masters.

"Don't think that far ahead, Senior Dugu!" Ning Rongrong put the soul tool into her storage bracelet. "The most important thing now is to help Sister Yan Yan obtain her third soul ring."

"Next, we'll go to Senior Dugu's herb garden. I'm actually quite curious about it."

"I almost forgot about the important matter!" Dugu Bo slapped his forehead.

So the three of them headed towards Sunset Forest together.

A key reason Ning Rongrong was trying to win over Dugu Bo was the value of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang theory. To be honest, Ning Rongrong was very envious of Dugu Bo's herb garden.

For more than a month, she had been waiting for Dugu Bo to speak.

Dugu Bo sincerely told the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the location of its treasured medicine garden, but that was different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School taking the initiative to ask about the location of the medicine garden.

The first one is the host inviting a guest to their home, while the second one is more like an uninvited guest.

To recruit people, you must first win their hearts.

Some transmigrators who travel to the Douluo Continent want the benefits but don't want to spend time cultivating relationships.

Not only are they notorious for their double standards, but their behavior is also extremely unseemly.

And yet you blame Tang Shenwang for "already having a way to die".

Isn't this a bit like eating someone else's food and then smashing their pot?

Before becoming a god, Tang Shenwang didn't have any major scandals. The blood-red swan kiss in the Slaughter City and the destruction of the Spirit Hall—if that counts, then so be it!

Who can foresee what will happen after they become a god, before they even become one?

As for the Tang God King ten thousand years later and even further back.

Is he human?

While Ning Rongrong's mind was racing with thoughts, Dugu Bo led them into the depths of the Sunset Forest, where they discovered a Jade Scale Serpent with approximately 1100 annual rings among the intertwined treetops.

"Looks like I'm in luck, I found it as soon as I came in!" Dugu Bo's blue eyes revealed the emotions only a hunter could have.
