Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Unlike Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang didn't make a fuss. He pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked a crucial question: "Wang Teng, what about the sacred beast you summoned earlier? Are there two of them now?"

Wang Teng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. After a short while, he opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "No, there isn't one."

"There is still only one Spinning Top Beast."

Then, Wang Teng activated his second soul ring once more.

"Sacred Beast: Crimson Flame Bird, come forth!"

A beam of red light shot out from Wang Teng's body, and the Flaming Bird Sacred Beast, the size of the creature, appeared in mid-air. Its feathers were fiery red, and it was exceptionally majestic.

It circled once and finally landed above the Silver Winged Bird Top, its wings fluttering slightly.

"Wow!"

A clear bird song pierced the night sky, the Silver Winged Bird spinning top suddenly accelerated its rotation, the purplish-red flame leaped half a foot high, and the surrounding air emitted a slight popping sound.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he stroked his chin as he analyzed, "The sacred beast has a significant enhancement effect on the spinning top, and the effect is quite remarkable."

"However, this sacred beast should be able to move freely between these two spinning tops, right?"

"of course can."

Wang Teng nodded, his mind at ease.

The Flame Bird Sacred Beast above the Silver Winged Bird Spinner flashed and disappeared instantly, then reappeared above the Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinner on the left.

"So fast!"

Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's not a matter of speed."

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and analyzed, "This is direct teleportation between spinning tops."

"Hiss—this way, Wang Teng, your tactics will be much more flexible in the future."

"Two spinning tops, one for offense and one for defense, or alternating to apply pressure. The sacred beast can switch its buff target at any time, making it impossible for the opponent to figure out your strengths and weaknesses."

Wang Teng nodded repeatedly as he listened, gaining a deeper understanding of this new ability.

Ma Hongjun, however, couldn't afford to engage in any tactical analysis. He stared intently at Wang Teng, asking with unwavering determination, "Wang Teng, you new spinning top..."

"Is it really impossible to absorb any more evil fire?"

"Not even a little bit?"

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Wang Teng shook his head helplessly and said, "Fatty, you really can't do it anymore."

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this top is really full, like a water tank that’s full of water, and it will overflow if you pour any more out.”

"Ugh--"

Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh, his head drooping, looking like a deflated balloon.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at Yu Xiaogang with hope, and asked, "Master, you are very knowledgeable, do you have any other ideas?"

"If no one helps me absorb this pent-up anger, what will I do in the future?"

Yu Xiaogang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't have any good ideas either."

"But Fatty, you must remember one thing: there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

"Although your Evil Fire Phoenix will constantly generate evil fire and cause you trouble, it also means that its potential far exceeds that of ordinary martial souls."

"From another perspective, the attack power of your Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is definitely much stronger than other fire attribute martial souls."

"Moreover, regarding the issue of 'evil fire,' as long as you find the right way to control and utilize it, then 'evil fire' may very well become a powerful asset to you."

After listening, Ma Hongjun remained silent for a while, then nodded vigorously and said, "Understood, Master, I will remember it."

Then, the fat man took a deep breath and tried to straighten his back. Although there was still some disappointment on his face, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Alright, it's really getting late."

Yu Xiaogang looked up at the moon, which was already setting in the west, and said, "You guys should go back and rest. There's training tomorrow."

The three then parted ways.

Ma Hongjun walked dejectedly towards his dormitory, while Yu Xiaogang strolled slowly toward the dean's office with his hands behind his back, lost in thought as he walked.

Wang Teng walked alone on his way back to the dormitory, the night breeze brushing against his face, bringing a slight chill.

He looked up at the night sky, where the moonlight, like water, spilled onto the village paths.

Tonight's gains were truly immense. Not only did my soul power break through to level 27, but my second soul skill also evolved, gaining a new Silver Winged Bird Spinning Top that can unleash evil fire.

"Two spinning tops..."

Wang Teng muttered to himself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Pushing open the dormitory door, Wang Teng lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, but the scene from just now was still replaying in his mind.

The scene of two spinning tops appearing alternately, the amazing teleportation of the sacred beast, and Yu Xiaogang's comment that "the tactics are much more flexible"...

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

There's training tomorrow, so I need to be well-rested.

Moonlight streamed through the window by the bedside, falling onto Wang Teng's face.

He turned over, a smile on his lips, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun returned to his dormitory.

He lay in bed, recalling Yu Xiaogang's words.

After a while, Ma Hongjun realized what was going on and muttered to himself, "What kind of master is he? He's just spouting nonsense. He's just like me, he doesn't have any methods at all. Honestly, I almost let him fool me. I don't know how Xiao San became his disciple."

Then, Ma Hongjun angrily went to sleep.

Chapter 180 Mercenary Guild

Shrek Academy dormitory.

The morning sunlight streamed into the dormitory through the window above the bed, casting a faint reddish glow on the floor.

Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes, his sleepy gaze gradually focusing.

He stretched on the bed, feeling a wave of comfort wash over him.

"Well--"

Wang Teng sat up, clenched his fists, and felt the abundant power within his body, so he couldn't help but grin.

"It seems yesterday's medicinal bath really worked. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time."

Over the years, Wang Teng has been living a life of full-time cultivation. He hasn't experienced such a good night's sleep and such a relaxed feeling this morning in a long time.

After getting dressed and quickly washing up, Wang Teng pushed open the door and walked towards the playground.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh, carrying the scent of earth and dew.

On the playground, the others gradually arrived, and everyone began their daily morning run as usual.

First, they ran laps around the playground, one lap, two laps, three laps, their steps perfectly synchronized.

After running on the track, I started running around the outskirts of the village, along country roads, through fields, startling grasshoppers in the roadside grass.

Wang Teng adjusted his breathing, slowly ran to Ning Rongrong's side, turned his head to look at her, and asked, "Rongrong, how are you feeling today? Did the medicinal bath yesterday work well?"

"Hmm, it's very good."

Ning Rongrong nodded with a smile on her face and said, "I felt energetic as soon as I woke up this morning, and I feel much more energetic than usual."

"That's good."

Wang Teng paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, Rongrong, I won't be going to the back mountain to meditate and cultivate after training tonight."

“I want to go to Soto City and find someone to send those whale glues back to my older brother.”

Wang Teng spoke casually, but he actually had other plans in mind.

The real purpose tonight is to find a place to consume those few pieces of ancient whale glue, but since it's not easy to say it outright, I'll use sending whale glue as an excuse.

Anyway, Ning Rongrong knew that he had asked someone to buy whale glue, so this reason was reasonable.

"I see..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Do you need my help?"

“Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has strongholds in various cities. I can have the school’s caravans deliver it to you quickly and safely.”

Wang Teng paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Never mind, I'll find someone myself."

"I always feel strange having your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's caravan transport my goods; it feels like I'm living off someone else."

"OK then."

Ning Rongrong didn't insist, but changed the subject and said, "But when you go to Soto City tonight, remember to bring me some good food when you come back."

"What do you want to eat?"

Wang Teng asked.

"Hmph, you don't even know what I want to eat?"

Ning Rongrong pouted, glanced at him sideways, and laughed, "Can't you care about me a little more?"

Wang Teng scratched his head, looking bewildered: "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

"you……"

Ning Rongrong was furious. She glared at him and quickened her pace, running forward, leaving behind a sentence floating in the air.

"Think about it yourself!"

Wang Teng stood there stunned for two seconds, watching Ning Rongrong's figure grow smaller and smaller as it disappeared into the distance, and then sighed helplessly.

"Honestly, women are such a hassle."

Wang Teng originally thought that guessing his girlfriend's thoughts was something far removed from his own life, but he never expected it to happen to him so soon.

As he ran, Wang Teng saw Zhu Zhuqing ahead, so he quickened his pace to catch up and walked alongside her.

"Zhuqing, I'm going to Soto City tonight. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"
