Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 77 begins

On the official road from the Heavenly Dou Empire to the Barak Kingdom.

"Hmph, the sect is so boring. Nobody dares to play with me. They even gave me the nickname 'Little Witch.' My dad always says I'm playing pranks. I keep hearing him talk about a guy named Xiao Yi, praising him so much. I'm sick of hearing it."

"I overheard Dad talking to someone about an academy called Shrek in Soto City of the Barak Kingdom. It specializes in capturing monsters. It must be very interesting there. When I bring back a few geniuses to the sect, Dad will definitely look at me with new respect."

On the official road of the Kingdom of Barak, a young girl pouted and said.

The girl wore a simple white dress that gave her a clean and tidy appearance. She had neat, short hair that reached her ears, and her skin was as smooth as a lychee. She had a delicate face, was about 1.65 meters tall, and had a very well-proportioned figure. She had a noble and ethereal air about her and looked like a well-educated aristocratic girl, which made her seem very approachable.

This girl is Ning Rongrong. Since she secretly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the night before last and heard about Shrek Academy on the way, she went straight to Soto City.

Little did she know that this was all arranged by Ning Fengzhi, and that she had several Soul Emperor-level bodyguards protecting her to prevent her from encountering any mishaps on the road.

"Boss, I don't know why the sect leader wanted Miss to come to Soto City. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is a great place."

"We subordinates don't care about all that. Since the sect leader told us to protect the young lady, we'll just follow his orders."

The person speaking was the bodyguard responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong's safety; otherwise, given Ning Rongrong's carefree personality and beautiful appearance, she might have already been knocked unconscious and taken away.

……

"Xiao San, you've already reached level 29. You possess twin martial souls, making you the most talented soul master I've ever seen in all these years. After graduation, don't accept invitations from other academies. Your teacher will recommend one to you."

"What academy?"

"That academy is located in a village outside Soto City. It's called Shrek Academy and it only accepts monsters. The academy's dean is my friend. The academy has two Soul Saints and three Soul Emperors as teachers, so the faculty is very strong. After you and Xiao Wu graduate, go to that academy first. I still have some things to take care of here. After I'm done, I will also go to that school to teach."

Inside Notting Academy, "Master" Yu Xiaogang talked to Tang San about Shrek Academy and told Tang San to go directly to Shrek Academy after graduation.

Tang San was also excited after hearing Yu Xiaogang's introduction.

Soul Saint, that's the eighth title. It's said that a Soul Saint can move freely in and out of a massive army. I never imagined that my teacher would have such a friend.

Afterwards, Tang San began to complain. When he obtained his first spirit ring, Yu Xiaogang took him to the Soul Hunting Forest. As a result, Yu Xiaogang was bitten by a Mandala snake and almost died from poisoning. He managed to kill the Mandala snake and absorb its spirit ring through his own abilities.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. How could I think like that? He's my prison warden."

Tang San realized something was wrong and began to feel guilty. Yu Xiaogang was his teacher, how could he harbor resentment towards his teacher in his heart?

After suppressing his dissatisfaction, Tang San returned to his dormitory to pack his things and prepare to go to Shrek Academy.

……

Star Luo Empire, Netherworld Duke's Mansion.

The Duke of Youming's Mansion is located in Xingluo City of the Xingluo Empire and is a symbol of the Zhu family's power in this area.

The Duke of Youming's mansion covers a vast area and features magnificent architecture, complete with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and ponds, demonstrating the family's prominent status.

At this time, it was a dark and windy night.

A figure leaped out of a window in the quiet Duke's mansion.

The figure was a woman with long black hair that cascaded over her shoulders, fair skin, and an extremely voluptuous and voluptuous figure that belied her age.

The woman's expression was cold, a coldness that came from within, a pure coldness. Her dark eyes held not a trace of life, clashing with her otherwise strikingly beautiful face. Her limbs were long and slender, and she exuded a deathly chill that was difficult to bear.

The woman was Zhu Zhuqing.

"Dai Mubai, you coward, you abandoned me and left me to bear the pressure alone," Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Duke of Youming's mansion. Because the Youming Zhu family's martial soul, the Youming Spirit Cat, can form the martial soul fusion skill, the Youming White Tiger, with the Evil Eye White Tiger of the Star Luo royal family, the two families have been linked by marriage for generations.

The Star Luo Empire is martial, and the competition for the throne within the Star Luo royal family is extremely brutal. In order to ensure that each generation of imperial heirs grows into an emperor capable of standing on their own, the Star Luo royal family trains their own brothers as enemies, making them fight each other. The winner becomes emperor, while the loser is either eliminated or deposed and imprisoned for life.

Zhu Zhuqing is Dai Mubai's fiancée. Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. He has an older brother, Davis, who is six years older than him. Dai Mubai's innate soul power is level nine, which is very good. However, his older brother Davis's innate soul power is only level eight. Although Davis's talent is slightly worse than Dai Mubai's, the six-year age difference makes Davis's cultivation level much higher than Dai Mubai's.

Dai Mubai was completely suppressed by Davis and saw no hope of winning, so he gave up his idea of ​​seizing the throne and abandoned Zhu Zhuqing to run away.

After running away, Dai Mubai went to Shrek Academy and lived a dissolute life, completely forgetting about competing for the throne and his fiancée.

This put Zhu Zhuqing in a difficult position. Zhu Zhuqing has an older sister named Zhu Zhuyun, who is the eldest prince's fiancée. She has the same talent as Zhu Zhuqing and is also six years older than her. After Dai Mubai ran away, Zhu Zhuqing had to bear the pressure from both her sister and the eldest prince at the same time, and she also faced assassination attempts from time to time, which made her never dare to let her guard down.

During the years that Dai Mubai was on the run, she had been inquiring about his whereabouts. Yesterday, she received news that Dai Mubai was training at Shrek Academy in Soto City, Barak Kingdom. It was said that Dai Mubai was having sex with different women every day. She decided to go and see if he was really as self-destructive as the news said.

She didn't want to be a crown princess or anything like that; she just wanted to survive. Dai Mubai was her only hope. If Dai Mubai really gave up on himself, she would try her best to break free of those shackles herself.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced back at the Duke's mansion, then ran towards the Kingdom of Barak without looking back.

……

"Reporting to the eldest young lady, the third young lady has escaped, and judging from the direction, she is heading towards the Kingdom of Barak."

The voices of assassins could be heard outside Zhu Zhuyun's residence.

"The Kingdom of Barak? Looks like you're looking for that coward Dai Mubai. That kind of coward isn't worth your time. He's already given up on you, why would you go looking for him?" Zhu Zhuyun thought to herself.

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun look about 70% alike, and both have incredibly hot figures.

"It's good that he's gone; at least he won't have to suffer like this anymore," Zhu Zhuyun thought to herself.

"Gather a few men and bring her back!" Zhu Zhuyun then ordered his assassins to hunt down Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's order, the assassin outside the door went to fetch someone.

After a while, Zhu Zhuyun led several assassins to hunt down Zhu Zhuqing.

While ostensibly a pursuit, it was actually a form of protection. Zhu Zhuyun and her men didn't chase too closely; instead, they maintained a distance that kept Zhu Zhuqing at a comfortable level, making her feel threatened.
