Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Wang Teng also lowered his voice, turned his head to look at Ning Rongrong, and comforted her, "Do you think I'm like those guys, going out to have fun?"

"I do not have……"

Ning Rongrong's voice trailed off, but her eyes still held a hint of unease.

After all, Wang Teng did not return home all night, which was the first time this had happened among the group of students.

Seeing this, Wang Teng quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I bought you your favorite little cake."

Chapter 185 Yu Xiaogang's Bias

"Really?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Then give it to me when we have breakfast later, I want to eat it!"

"Okay, you can have them all."

Wang Teng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two were whispering to each other when Yu Xiaogang stopped at the front of the line.

His gaze swept over everyone, and he slowly spoke, saying, "You have completed this morning's training."

"However, before we go to breakfast, I'd like to explain your ranking."

"Sorting?"

Oscar asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and continued, "This ranking is based on your strength, potential, combat power, and cultivation speed."

"Master, what's the use of this sorting?"

Ma Hongjun asked.

"Of course it's useful."

With his hands behind his back and his tone calm, Yu Xiaogang said, "There are eight of you now."

"Two years later, if a team wants to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Competition, it can only have seven official members."

"That means one of you eight will be a substitute."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted differently; some exchanged glances, while others lowered their heads in deep thought.

"Teacher, could you please tell us our order first?"

Tang San spoke up.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces again, and then said, word by word, "Regarding the ranking of the eight of you, I think: Tang San is first, Dai Mubai is second, Xiao Wu is third, Ning Rongrong and Oscar are tied for fourth, Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun are tied for sixth, and Wang Teng is eighth."

After he finished speaking, the playground fell silent for a moment.

"How is that possible!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to jump out, her face full of dissatisfaction, and said, "How could Wang Teng be eighth?"

"Master, are you mistaken?"

Although the others remained silent, their expressions clearly showed confusion.

After all, everyone has witnessed Wang Teng's strength, even though his soul power is indeed a bit low.

However, when it came to a real fight, Wang Teng's spinning top skills were so unpredictable that no one present except Tang San and Dai Mubai could beat him.

"Teacher, you haven't made a mistake, have you?"

Tang San frowned and asked in confusion, "Although Wang Teng's soul power is a bit low, his martial soul is very special and his combat power is also very strong."

"Right now, I think his strength definitely surpasses that of Fatty and Zhu Qing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, before slowly explaining, "I know you're not convinced, so let me explain why I ranked Wang Teng eighth."

Yu Xiaogang paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Wang Teng's current combat strength is indeed not weak. Apart from Xiao San, Xiao Wu, and Mu Bai, no one else may be his match."

"But have you ever thought about where he got his current fighting power from?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

“Wang Teng’s first two spirit rings gave him very special spirit skills, which is his advantage, I don’t deny it.”

Yu Xiaogang looked at Wang Teng and continued, "But Wang Teng, you know better than I do that your innate soul power is only level five."

"How did you manage to cultivate to level 27, even faster than others?"

"It's because your spinning top absorbed the fat man's evil fire, which is equivalent to having extra cultivation resources."

Wang Teng remained silent and did not respond.

"But what about now?"

Yu Xiaogang changed the subject, saying, "You said yourself before that your spinning top is already full and can't absorb any more of Fatty's evil fire, right?"

Wang Teng nodded.

"That's right."

Yu Xiaogang crossed his arms and analyzed, "Your previous cultivation speed was largely driven by the evil fire."

"Now that this path is blocked, your cultivation speed will inevitably slow down."

"So, will you be able to break through to level 30 in two years?"

I don't think it's possible.

"On the other hand, Fatty and Zhu Qing are weaker than you now, but in two years, they will definitely be able to reach level 30."

"By then, they will have one more thousand-year soul ring and one more thousand-year soul skill than you."

"No matter how strong your combat power is, can you really overcome the gap of a thousand-year-old soul skill?"

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang's gaze swept over everyone.

At this moment, the playground was silent; no one spoke.

Although no one said anything, the expressions on their faces said it all; they felt that Yu Xiaogang made sense.

Wang Teng is indeed strong now, but that's just now.

What about two years from now? Who can say for sure?

Wang Teng took in all these expressions and suddenly felt a pang of unease.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, looked directly at Yu Xiaogang, and said, "Master, what you said makes a lot of sense. I would like to refute it, but words are not enough."

Then, Wang Teng took a deep breath, and his tone became firm as he said, "So, I plan to challenge Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Tomorrow, just tomorrow."

Wang Teng stared intently at Yu Xiaogang and said, "I'll play all three matches."

"After you finish the match, take another look at my eighth place ranking. Do you think I deserve it?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Wang Teng for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay."

"Since you brought it up yourself, I agree."

"Tomorrow, the first match is with Xiao Wu, then Dai Mubai, and finally Xiao San."

"it is good."

Wang Teng nodded emphatically.

"Alright, let's call it a day and go have breakfast."

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand in acknowledgment.

The group headed towards the cafeteria.

On the way to the cafeteria, Ning Rongrong leaned close to Wang Teng and whispered a complaint: "Wang Teng, you're being too reckless."

"What kind of reckless behavior is this?"

Wang Teng frowned slightly and asked, "You think I really can't beat them?"

"no no……"

Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hand, put on a smile, and said, "I was just worried about you."

Looking at Ning Rongrong's appearance, Wang Teng's initial displeasure dissipated.

Then, Wang Teng took out a paper package from his storage soul tool and handed it to Ning Rongrong, saying, "Here, this is what I promised to buy for you last night."

Ning Rongrong took it, opened it, and saw several fresh little cakes neatly arranged inside, all strawberry flavored, with a few drops of jam on top.

"Thank you!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled with exceptional joy.

On the other side, Wang Teng quickly took a few steps to the side and stopped Zhu Zhuqing, who was passing by, and said, "Zhuqing, this is fruit I bought for you."

Zhu Zhuqing paused, took the cloth bag, opened it, and glanced inside. There were several fresh oranges and apples.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Afterwards, the group walked towards the cafeteria, chatting and laughing.

Chapter 186 Wang Teng's New Skill

Nighttime, in the bamboo forest behind Shrek.

The moon was high in the sky, and although it was dark around us, it was brightly lit by the moonlight overhead.

Bamboo leaves swayed gently in the night breeze, casting dappled light and shadow.

On a flat, large blue stone in the forest, Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged, meditating with their eyes closed, as usual.
