Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 11 Beating up the scoundrel and taking Zhu Zhuqing as an apprentice

"What?! Twin Martial Souls?!"

Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai exclaimed in surprise, their eyes widening as they stared in disbelief at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had just fainted, woke up upon hearing the exclamation.

They heard the words "twin martial souls" in a daze and opened their eyes to look at Tang San.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, clenched his fists, his whole body surging with killing intent.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the secret of Xiao San's twin martial souls to be discovered! What should we do? Kill everyone here?!"

If the Spirit Hall finds out that Tang San hasn't grown up yet, it could lead to his death.

However, he quickly suppressed this thought. Destroying several academies guarded by Soul Saints for no reason would only allow Martial Soul to discover his whereabouts sooner.

If none of these can be done.

The only option left was to threaten Shrek Academy and the others with force, preventing them from revealing Tang San's twin martial souls.

However, the murderous intent in his eyes towards Lan Minghua was almost tangible.

Lan Minghua keenly sensed Tang Hao's killing intent, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Tang San's face was as dark as a storm cloud, so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

You actually exposed my twin martial souls! You've already met your end!

He had planned to break through Lan Minghua's defenses with a full-force strike from the Haotian Hammer and continue fighting with hidden weapons.

Unexpectedly, Lan Minghua immediately withdrew his defense and reached out to block the attack of his Haotian Hammer.

Hearing the exclamations of those behind him, Tang San knew that his twin martial souls had been exposed, so he quickly put them away.

His eyes narrowed, and a poisoned blade appeared on his shoe. Without hesitation, he kicked Lan Minghua in the neck, clearly intending to kill him.

A cold smile appeared on Lan Minghua's lips; he had anticipated Lan Minghua's angry outburst.

He slightly turned his body to avoid Tang San's kick, then turned around and kicked back.

Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes narrowed, a disdainful glint appearing on his lips. He used Ghost Shadow Stalking to take a step back, avoiding the kick.

At this moment, he was extremely pleased with himself, thinking that even the Soul Saint's attack was nothing special.

Lan Minghua's lips curled slightly, realizing his carelessness.

"It's good for young people to be confident, but being too confident is arrogance, which is very bad."

Tang San was about to retort when he suddenly felt something fly towards his cheek.

Before he could make a move, a slipper slapped him hard across the face.

With a snap, his face flushed like water, and he spat out saliva mixed with bright red blood.

The slipper had great force, and Tang San felt dizzy and his body spun rapidly like a top.

It spun around and crashed into an abandoned wooden hut, kicking up a cloud of dust, before passing out.

The slippers bounced precisely off Lan Minghua's raised foot; everything seemed so casual.

At this point, one-fifth of an incense stick had not yet burned out, meaning that Tang San and his companions had not passed the final test.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked grim; they hadn't expected that their exceptional talents would fail Shrek Academy's entrance exam.

Lan Minghua wanted to take Zhu Zhuqing as his disciple, so naturally he wouldn't kick her out.

Of course, even if he wanted to leave, Zhao Wuji wouldn't agree.

"Old Zhao, come out and explain yourself. Otherwise, they really won't be able to get into Shrek Academy."

At this moment, Zhao Wuji stepped out, showing no sign of unease despite Lan Minghua's heavy blow to Tang San.

On the contrary, he thought Lan Minghua did a very good job.

Tang San was clearly an arrogant and ruthless person, and his last move was obviously intended to kill.

Lan Minghua knocked him unconscious without actually injuring him, which was already very magnanimous of him.

If it were him, he would have hit even harder.

He said to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, "Alright, you've both passed the test."

Ning Rongrong said, "Teacher Zhao, didn't we fail to persist for the full incense stick's time?"

"This final test is merely to temper the arrogance in you geniuses. If we don't do this, will you be willing to accept instruction?" Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice.

Ning Rongrong curled her lip, clearly referring to someone like her.

As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she is usually taught by a Title Douluo himself, and she really doesn't think much of being taught by others.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't join the academy, she really wouldn't know where to go.

However, after witnessing Lan Minghua's strength, she rekindled her hope for Shrek Academy.

Lan Minghua had been watching Zhu Zhuqing's emotional changes and noticed that her eyes had regained their light, so he went up to her and asked her about it.

"Hey beautiful lady, would you like to be my apprentice?"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised by these words.

Although it was a bit sudden, it was a godsend for her, who had no one to rely on.

Before Zhu Zhuqing could answer, Dai Mubai became anxious.

Having just seen Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit, I've already recognized her identity.

The latest novel is first published here!

She quickly spoke up, hurriedly answering for him, "I'm sorry, Zhu Qing doesn't want to become your disciple."

Lan Minghua knows about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship, but you have another woman in your arms now, so what right do you have to answer for Zhu Zhuqing?

Feigning ignorance of the reason, he asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Pretty girl, can he answer for you?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, who was holding Xiao Wu, her eyes filled with disgust. He was truly greedy, wanting more than he had.

Dai Mubai disappointed her greatly; she saw absolutely no hope of defeating Davis and her sister.

"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?" Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai's livid face and spoke in a cold voice.

Turning to Lan Minghua, she said softly, "As long as it can make me stronger, I am willing to become your disciple."

Lan Minghua knew why Zhu Zhuqing had traveled thousands of miles to the Heaven Dou Empire to find Dai Mubai.

To become stronger and escape an unjust fate.

However, he still wanted to find out if Zhu Zhuqing was being honest.

Why do you want to become stronger?

Zhu Zhuqing said, "My motivation for cultivating until now has been solely to escape my miserable fate. I don't want to be a foil for the losers; I just want to live."

Others couldn't understand what she was saying, but Dai Mubai felt utterly ashamed.

Because the Star Luo Empire has a special succession system, all princes are destined to be rivals from birth.

Only the victor becomes emperor, while the loser is either eliminated or rendered useless.

Although Zhu Zhuqing is not a member of the Star Luo royal family, her clan's martial soul is naturally compatible with the Evil-Eyed White Tiger inherited by the Star Luo royal family, possessing a martial soul fusion skill.

The women of her clan are betrothed to princes of the Star Luo clan of similar age after birth, and together they compete for the throne.

Their fate after failure was naturally death, becoming a cripple, or becoming someone else's plaything.

However, a few years ago, Dai Mubai, fearing assassination by his elder brother, abandoned Zhu Zhuqing, who was not yet ten years old, and fled to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Unwilling to accept her fate, Zhu Zhuqing diligently cultivated her skills and finally escaped from the Star Luo Empire.

But upon seeing the depraved Dai Mubai, her last hope was shattered once again.

Fortunately, after witnessing Shrek Academy's impressive teaching staff, her eyes regained their light.

She wouldn't refuse if someone who was at least a Soul Saint wanted to take her as a disciple.

Lan Minghua was not surprised by this answer, and Zhu Zhuqing also explained why she was working so hard to cultivate.

Such a person, who refuses to accept his fate, is qualified to be his apprentice.

"Very good answer. From now on, you are my second apprentice. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you become stronger and escape that unfair fate."

Zhu Zhuqing felt a care she had never experienced before from Lan Minghua, and the eyebrows in her beautiful eyes trembled.

He knelt down in front of Lan Minghua with a thud and kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"Zhu Zhuqing greets Master."
