Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Ning Rongrong didn't move; she just leaned against Wang Teng and subtly curved the corners of her mouth into a smile.

As for Wang Teng, he was out of Ning Rongrong's sight and also kept his eyes closed.

"This evil fire will need to be absorbed and suppressed in the future."

……

Since the swimming pool and bamboo forest training grounds at Shrek Academy were renovated, the daily routine of Wang Teng and his classmates has completely changed.

Every day at dawn, they begin with a round of physical training.

After breakfast, people lined up to try their luck at the bamboo forest checkpoint.

During the hottest part of the afternoon, we spent the whole time in the pool.

In the evening, it becomes a battle of wills between individuals.

After a few days, even support characters like Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who usually prefer to lie down rather than sit, got a tan.

Strangely enough, these Shrek students used to complain endlessly about running ten laps around the village, but now, someone is always asking, "Are you going to the pool this afternoon?"

In Ma Hongjun's words, this is called "a balance between work and rest, with rest accounting for 90%".

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the sun was blazing.

After finishing lunch, Wang Teng and the others strolled over to the poolside one after another.

At this moment, the water surface was shimmering with a white light from the sun, and the air was filled with a humid and hot smell.

It has that unique riverside smell.

Fatty Ma Hongjun was the first to go into the water.

His fleshy body sprawled out in the water, lying flat on the surface like a breathing floating bed.

"oops--"

Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh and squinted at the sky.

Why didn't anyone think of digging a swimming pool before?

"If we had dug it up earlier, would we have needed to run around the village every day for the past few years?"

"Back then, Dean Flander made us run in circles, round and round, until my legs were practically worn out."

Oscar was paddling along when he happened to pass by the fat man and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Your legs are thin? Your legs are as thick as elephant legs, where are they thin?"

"Get lost."

Ma Hongjun splashed some water and continued, "But to be honest, we really have to thank Wang Teng for this swimming pool."

"If he hadn't mentioned it, given Dean Flander's stinginess, we would have been lucky if he had given us a new broom, let alone a swimming pool."

Oscar nodded and glanced at Wang Teng.

On the other side, Wang Teng was not resting in the pool.

Instead, he stood at the deeper end of the pool, half his body submerged in the water, facing Ning Rongrong, his hands gently supporting her, as if protecting a child learning to walk.

"Rongrong, hang in there for the last lap."

Wang Teng's voice came through the water, sounding a bit muffled. He said, "Stretch your hands forward, yes, straighten your legs, don't stop, we're almost there."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's arms were visibly shaking.

Clearly, Ning Rongrong had already swum quite a distance, and she was obviously running out of energy.

Every time Ning Rongrong paddled, her face would surface to catch her breath.

Finally, Ning Rongrong and Wang Teng both swam to the edge of the pool.

"I...I can't take it anymore..."

Ning Rongrong was breathing heavily, clinging to the edge of the pool and refusing to move.

"Wang Teng, why do you think I have to train like this, a power-attack type Soul Master, like you, risking my life?"

"why?"

Wang Teng also stopped, turned to look at her, and said, "Of course, it's so that we can run faster when we're fighting."

"You're a support class, and if an enemy sneaks up on you, why don't you run away and just stand there and let them hack you to pieces?"

Ning Rongrong pouted, speechless for a moment.

Wang Teng wasn't in a hurry. He reached out and brushed the wet stray hairs from Ning Rongrong's forehead, saying, "Alright, just one more lap. After you swim this last lap, your training volume for today will be enough. After that, you can watch me train by yourself."

Ning Rongrong glanced at Wang Teng, but didn't respond. Instead, she turned her face to the side, pushed off with her legs, and swam back to the opposite side.

Wang Teng immediately followed Ning Rongrong.

The two swam forward, one after the other, splashing around.

At the other end of the pool, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing each occupied a lane and trained intently, ignoring each other.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was lying by the pool talking to Tang San.

As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, they were both playing in the water.

Chapter 143 Giant Finned Mystic Carp

Shrek Academy, in the swimming pool.

The midday sun made the pool water scalding hot, and everything in the pool felt languid.

Suddenly, a series of "plop" sounds rang out in the pool.

Then, before anyone could react, the thumping sounds became even more frequent.

This is not just one or two issues.

Instead, there were dozens or even hundreds of them, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, forming a continuous expanse that shook the entire surface of the water.

In the water, Wang Teng was the first to stop moving.

He looked up and, following the direction of the sound, looked towards the irrigation canal.

On the other side, Ma Hongjun's flabby body shuddered, and he almost sank down.

He quickly struggled a couple of times before regaining his balance.

The people by the pool also gradually noticed something was wrong.

"Holy crap, what's that—"

Before he finished speaking, a golden light leaped out from the canal opening, drew an arc in the air, and plunged straight into the swimming pool.

This is followed by Article 2, Article 3, Article 10, and Article 20.

fish.

Fish fill the sky.

The fish were entirely black, their scales shimmering with gold edges in the sunlight.

The smallest of them is about one meter long.

As if driven by something, they rushed from the canal into the pool, splashing water everywhere they landed.

Almost at the same moment, a huge black shadow swept across the sky above the pool.

Dean Flander spread his broad wings, transforming into a giant owl, circling above the canal. The wind pressure generated by his wings caused the tough grass on the bank to bend and sway.

"It's a soul beast!"

Ma Hongjun was the first to react, his voice cracking.

"These fish are soul beasts!"

Wang Teng's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around to pull Ning Rongrong away.

"Rongrong, come ashore with me, quick!"

Ning Rongrong's arms were already weak, and when he pulled her, she staggered and grabbed the edge of the pool.

Wang Teng lifted Ning Rongrong's buttocks, practically pushing her all the way ashore.

At the other end of the pool, Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly got up and went ashore, followed closely by Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

Oscar scrambled and rolled, while Ma Hongjun struggled the most, swallowing several mouthfuls of water before Oscar finally pulled him up.

A group of people, soaking wet, gathered on the bank, looking into the pool with lingering fear.

By this time, the swimming pool had completely changed.

The water's surface was covered with streaks of water cut by fish fins, and dark figures swam in the water, their scales shimmering and densely packed.

Occasionally, fish will surface and you can see that they are covered with thick scales and have blunt, rounded snouts, and they do not have sharp teeth.

However, they are too big.

Each one is longer than an adult's arm.

Flanders landed at that moment.

He retracted his Martial Soul True Body, and his landing posture was relatively steady, but the smugness on his face was impossible to hide.

"How about it?"

Dean Flander stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over the students' faces one by one, and asked, "Surprised or not?"

"Is it surprising?"

Wang Teng caught his breath and tried to keep his tone calm before asking, "Dean, where did these soul beasts come from?"

“The Barak River,” Flanders said. “I came from upstream, following the irrigation canal you dug, for dozens of miles.”

"I've been rushing here since last night, it took me a lot of effort."

When Flanders said this, there was a hint of expectation in his tone, as if to say, "Why don't you all praise me soon?"

Wang Teng was silent for two seconds, then asked in confusion, "...So why did you bring these soul beasts here?"

"Training!"
