Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 247 The True Genius

"Big brother, let's get ready to watch the show." Ning Feiliu got up early in the morning and said jokingly to Ning Mingrui, who had already come out.

Ning Mingrui looked at him and shook his head, saying, "I don't know why you're so sure that Rongrong will... reveal her true nature when she enrolls, but I think you're being too stereotypical."

Ning Feiliu remained confident and said with a smile, "Big brother, just watch and see if what I'm saying is true or not."

His confidence naturally stemmed from the fact that he was a time traveler and knew the plot in advance.

While it's not to say the plot won't change, after all, everyone knows about the butterfly effect.

A butterfly from another world can stir up a huge storm by flapping its wings.

However, in his view, the storyline involving Ning Rongrong and Shrek Academy was the one least affected by him.

Although he took away Ning Rongrong's position as the successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and gave it to his elder brother Ning Mingrui.

However, Ning Rongrong was still favored by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo; he had only given her a small lesson.

This is all that can be done to make her personality a little more restrained, and to make her act more respectable.

But one's original personality will remain the same... no matter what.

As for Shrek Academy, needless to say, he had never even come into contact with those guys, so how could he change anything?

Therefore, Ning Feiliu was very confident that what was supposed to happen in the original plot would still happen.

But Ning Mingrui also believed that Ning Rongrong had truly changed and was not as ingrained as Ning Feiliu had said.

And so, the two brothers left the hotel with considerable confidence and headed straight for Shrek Academy, which was not far away.

……

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy...

It's very early.

Tang San had already woken up. He and Oscar were roommates and good friends. After exchanging a few words, Tang San went out to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye and retrieve his hidden weapons.

Then he learned the location of the girls' dormitory from Oscar and rushed over there.

Over there in the girls' dormitory.

According to the original storyline, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were in the same dormitory, and her injuries were not actually serious.

After all, given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's status and their status as support-type Soul Masters, Zhao Wuji naturally held back a bit more.

Actually, if she hadn't rushed up and attacked Zhao Wuji at close range yesterday, she wouldn't have been injured in the original storyline.

However, she only suffered some minor injuries. After eating Oscar's sausage, she recovered quickly. She practiced the Moonlight Breathing Technique that night, and her body was completely healed by the next day.

The next day, when she came out of the meditative state of the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, she saw Xiao Wu staring intently at her.

"Hi!" Xiao Wu greeted her warmly as soon as she saw her wake up.

"Hello..." Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, but still greeted him in return.

"Haha, I'm Xiaowu, you should know me now... From today onwards, we're classmates and roommates!" Xiaowu leaned closer and said affectionately.

"Please guide me in the future," Ning Rongrong could only reply after hearing her say that.

"By the way, what happened just now? That was amazing! You even pulled down the moonlight!" Xiao Wu asked immediately, full of curiosity.

When Ning Rongrong practiced the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, even the moonlight in the sky was drawn down and absorbed into her body, which looked truly amazing.

Xiao Wu had never seen such a scene even with her very mysterious third brother.

Moreover, she could sense that Ning Rongrong's cultivation method was very powerful, and it also had other very strong effects.

After a night, Ning Rongrong's breathing became calm, and her body seemed to have fully recovered. It was truly amazing.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, but faced with Xiao Wu's curiosity and enthusiasm, she had no choice but to say, "This is a special cultivation method researched by my brother, called the Moon Essence Breathing Method. It is a closely guarded secret of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"The cultivation method your brother researched?" Xiao Wu recalled what Tang San had told her about Ning Feiliu and asked, "Is your brother very powerful? Did he really research the Xuan Shui Pill?"

"Hmm... My brother is amazing, he's a true genius. I'm probably just a bit luckier than him," Ning Rongrong said softly. "I'm just lucky that my innate soul power is a little stronger than everyone else's. Compared to my brother, I'm really far behind."

Ning Feiliu, whose innate soul power was only level 2.5, later created the Moon Essence Breathing Technique to increase her soul power faster. She also studied ancient books and found rare and precious herbs that could enhance talent and transform one's body. She also created the Xuan Shui Pill, an unprecedented elixir that could seize the creation of heaven and earth.

In order to defy fate and undergo a complete transformation, he not only became a genius soul master overnight, but also transformed from a support-type soul master into a battle soul master.

Later, he created his own Soul Explosion Ring Skill, which made him invincible among the younger generation of Soul Masters and even able to complete challenges beyond his level.

Seeing Ning Feiliu's achievements over the years, Ning Rongrong felt more and more that she was just a little lucky.

Aside from being a bit luckier and having a stronger innate soul power than her brothers like Ning Feiliu, what other advantages does she have? What is there to be proud of?

And... that way she treated her brother, who had always doted on her, led to this terrible consequence.

So... it's all her fault.

She's not even as good as her third brother, Ning Feiliu...

However, she still wanted to prove to Ning Feiliu that she was definitely not an ungrateful wretch who hadn't changed at all.

She knows she's wrong, and she will try to correct and make up for her mistakes.

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xiao Wu became even more curious and asked, "Is your brother really that powerful? What level of soul power does he have now?"

"He broke through to the Soul King realm two years ago. At fifteen years old, he is currently the youngest Soul King Soul Master on the continent," Ning Rongrong said.

"A Soul King! A fifteen-year-old Soul King!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately nodded, saying in disbelief, "That's truly amazing! My god, can someone become a Soul King at fifteen? I can't even guarantee I'd become a Soul King at fifteen. Could he be like me...?"

At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth, stopping herself from saying anything more.

"What is it?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously, looking at her.

"It's nothing..." Xiao Wu quickly laughed it off, saying, "He should also have innate full soul power, just like me."

She almost blurted out that she was a soul beast transformed into a human, but now she really suspects that Ning Feiliu is also a soul beast transformed into a human.

After all, a fifteen-year-old Soul King... is indeed terrifying.

She, a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has transformed into a human and is now a Great Soul Master, is not yet a Soul Venerable. Although she will soon break through to the Soul Grandmaster level, she cannot fully guarantee that she will be able to break through to the Soul Sect and Soul King levels in three years.

How could an ordinary human be so outrageous as to achieve the Soul King realm at the age of fifteen?

Therefore, Xiao Wu could only think of someone who was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human, just like her.

Moreover, it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast that was far more powerful than her.

After all, she was just a Soft Bone Rabbit, a relatively weak 100,000-year-old soul beast. Her strength and bloodline were far inferior to those of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

However, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, her talent after transforming into a human was still far superior to that of many humans.

Then Ning Feiliu's talent is even more exaggerated than hers. In her opinion, she is definitely not human. She must be a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human who is even more powerful than her!

Ning Rongrong immediately accepted his suspicions, but still shook her head and said, "No... my brother's innate talent isn't high, only level 2.5, so... he's really amazing. All his achievements are the result of his hard work, which is why I said I was just lucky..."

"Not innate full soul power?!" Xiao Wu was even more shocked.

Doesn't that mean Ning Rongrong's brother isn't a soul beast transformed into a human?

Is it possible for a human to achieve the Soul King realm at the age of fifteen through their own efforts, rather than being a soul beast transformed into a human?

So... is he really more powerful than her third brother?

Just as Xiaowu was still in shock, there was a knock on the door, and a voice she knew very well...

"Xiao Wu..."

She immediately suppressed her shock and went to see Tang San outside the door.

……

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji's face was still swollen because Tang Hao had used him as a punching bag and beaten him all night.

So Flander went to ask Dai Mubai what his impression of the four new students, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, was.

Dai Mubai treated Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing very well.

He was particularly lavish in his praise of Zhu Zhuqing, and even displayed his possessiveness towards her.

But when he got to Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai still remembered how Ning Rongrong had caused trouble yesterday and driven away all the students who had signed up.

Furthermore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School openly supports the Heaven Dou Empire, and given his old and new grudges against Ning Rongrong, this prince of the Star Luo Empire had even less of a good impression of her.

So when he mentioned Ning Rongrong, he said irritably, "That Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is such a busybody. Dean, let me tell you, yesterday she..."

Dai Mubai embellished the story, portraying Ning Rongrong as a spoiled young lady with a bad temper, meddlesome and reckless, who didn't care whether her teammates could pass the test and, instead of staying behind, charged forward as a support-type Soul Master.

This almost caused Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others to fail the test.

Anyway, they portrayed Ning Rongrong as having the personality of a spoiled young lady.

Flander was also extremely annoyed, especially when he heard that Ning Rongrong had discouraged so many students from enrolling, resulting in the loss of hundreds or even thousands of gold soul coins in enrollment fees. His heart was bleeding.

That's all his money! It's all his!

As a result, Ning Rongrong messed things up, and then everything was gone!

So Flander snorted and said, "With such a young lady entering Shrek Academy, we'll have to work on her character... No matter who she is or where she comes from, once she's come to Shrek Academy and become my student, she has to listen to me!"

"Let's go! Mu Bai, go and gather them together!"

Dai Mubai nodded excitedly and said, "Yes! Dean, I'll go get them right away!"

……

Meanwhile, Tang San and Xiao Wu unexpectedly met the infamous Evil Fire Phoenix. The misunderstandings, conflicts, and facts that occurred during this time need not be elaborated upon.

Then at this moment, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar all came out.

They introduced themselves to each other, and both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat disgusted by Ma Hongjun.

At that moment, Dai Mubai and Flander arrived.

"This is our Shrek Academy's Dean, Professor Flander. Everyone, get ready to assemble," Dai Mubai said excitedly, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yes." Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and the others didn't doubt anything and immediately lined up in front of Flander.

At this moment, Xiao Wu and Tang San recognized him too. Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this that shady merchant uncle from last time?"

Oscar exclaimed in surprise, "What? Uncle Jian Shang? This is our Dean, the founder of Shrek Academy, the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl Flander. A level 78 Soul Saint. Even more powerful than Teacher Zhao. Moreover, he possesses a flying beast martial soul. Among battle soul masters, this is quite rare. Fatty is his direct disciple."

"This year is great; we have four more little monsters. I, Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you should give 100 gold coins to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finances. Mu Bai," Flander said formally to them.

"Dean." Dai Mubai stepped forward, seemingly showing great respect for Flander, even with a hint of admiration.

Flander said, "Four more junior students have arrived. Tell them the academy's rules later. Then go back and rest, and try to get yourself back to your best condition. The first class of the day will begin tonight. Oscar, you and Ning Rongrong are an exception. You two come with me."

Oscar's face immediately fell, and he reluctantly walked up to Flander and bowed. His expression softened slightly when he saw Ning Rongrong walk up to him.

Flander waved his hand and said, "The rest of you can go and rest. Remember, get yourself into peak condition before dark. Don't blame me for not warning you. The teaching at this academy is different from other places; you may even face danger."

Zhu Zhuqing left without looking back, and Dai Mubai didn't chase after her this time either.

Ma Hongjun was very fast; he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tang San and Xiao Wu did not leave, but stayed behind.

Although Ning Rongrong found it strange, she still followed Oscar to Flander.

Then she heard Flander say to them, "Everyone has their own cultivation method. Different martial souls require vastly different cultivation methods. In Douluo Continent, almost no two martial souls are exactly alike. Therefore, what the academy will teach you is not how to cultivate your martial soul, but how to use it, how to better protect yourself and support your comrades in future battles."

But Ning Rongrong shook her head, then stepped forward and said to Flander, "I'm sorry, Dean... if I had only come here to learn how to be a good support Soul Master, I wouldn't have come to this academy. My purpose in coming here is actually to find out..."

"Is there any way to enable support-type Soul Masters to fight?"
