Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

It was already dark, and the place was quiet and deserted.

Only the moon overhead cast its gentle light, and the night breeze rustled the leaves.

Occasionally, a cricket would chirp twice, then stop.

Wang Teng walked to Ning Rongrong's dormitory door and knocked.

"Bang bang bang!"

Soon, the door opened.

Ning Rongrong, dressed in her pajamas with an overcoat draped over her shoulders, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked groggily, "Wang Teng? What brings you here?"

"Rongrong, I'm leaving."

Wang Teng looked at Ning Rongrong and said calmly.

"Let's go? To Soto?"

Ning Rongrong wasn't fully awake yet, and tilted her head, asking in confusion.

She thought Wang Teng just wanted to go to the nearby city for a stroll.

"I plan to leave Shrek Academy and venture out onto the continent."

Wang Teng spoke again, his voice calm, but his eyes were firm.

"Huh? Why?"

Ning Rongrong was now fully awake. She stared wide-eyed at Wang Teng, her face filled with shock and confusion.

"It's nothing, I just feel like Shrek Academy isn't right for me anymore."

"Even if I stay here, my progress will be very slow."

Wang Teng forced an explanation.

There are actually many other reasons, but he didn't want to say too much.

If you want to leave, you can leave; there's no need to explain.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong remained silent for a moment, then lowered her head and bit her lip.

Then she looked up, her eyes filled with apology and hesitation, and said, "Well... Wang Teng, I might not be able to leave with you."

"Because the order for hidden weapons between our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Tang San only just started these past few days."

"Because the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is a powerful hidden weapon, and we ordered a large quantity of it, the sect entrusted me with this transaction in order to prevent the secret from being leaked."

"The deal has only just begun and is not yet complete, so I really can't leave."

Ning Rongrong paused for a moment, then continued, "This transaction is quite important to the sect. As you know, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is a weapon that can enhance the overall strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"so……"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's voice grew softer and softer, filled with remorse.

"I understand, Rongrong."

Wang Teng took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I never intended for you to come along anyway."

"After all, I am still very weak right now and cannot fully protect you."

"I came here this time just to tell you that I'm leaving."

"Feel sorry."

Ning Rongrong lowered her head, her voice sounding somewhat dejected.

In truth, she was also conflicted, torn between her budding feelings and her responsibilities to the sect.

Chapter 197 Zhu Zhuqing's Choice

"It's alright, nothing's wrong."

Wang Teng stepped forward, gently hugged Ning Rongrong, patted her back, and comforted her.

In fact, Wang Teng could understand Ning Rongrong's difficulties.

"By the way, when are you planning to leave?"

Ning Rongrong leaned against Wang Teng's chest and asked softly.

"Now."

Wang Teng said solemnly.

"So urgent?"

Ning Rongrong looked up in shock, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Alright, go and rest now, I'm leaving."

Wang Teng took a deep breath, gently pushed Ning Rongrong back inside the door, and, holding onto the door frame, prepared to turn and leave.

"and many more--"

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's voice came from behind.

Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around.

Has she changed her mind?

Are you coming with me?

Under the moonlight, Ning Rongrong stood at the door. A flash of white light appeared in her hand, and a book and a token appeared out of thin air.

The book looked quite old, with an antique cover, while the token gleamed faintly in the moonlight.

"This is?"

Wang Teng looked at the two items, then looked up at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled expression.

"This book is a secret technique of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—Multi-purpose Mind."

Ning Rongrong handed the items to him and explained softly, "I see that you summon your spinning tops to fight. When you have more spirit rings in the future, it may not be so easy to control multiple spinning tops at the same time."

"This secret technique can help you, allowing you to control multiple targets more freely."

Wang Teng was stunned. He looked down at the book, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

"And this token is my sect's token."

Ning Rongrong continued, stuffing the token into his hand as well, saying, "After you leave, you can use this token to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strongholds in major cities to replenish supplies."

"This will offer significant discounts, and it will also make it easier for you to buy more and better supplies."

"When you're traveling, you can't skimp on yourself."

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Teng's reply, she pushed the two items into his hands in a quick and decisive motion, as if afraid that Wang Teng would refuse.

Wang Teng raised his hand, looked at the two items in his hand, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

He looked up at Ning Rongrong, his voice slightly hoarse: "Rongrong, this is something from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right? Is it really okay for you to give it to me?"

This is a secret technique of the sect; it's not an ordinary thing.

She just casually took it out and gave it to him?

"rest assured."

Ning Rongrong looked at Wang Teng and suddenly smiled, a smile that looked especially beautiful in the moonlight.

"You'll belong to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from now on, do you think I'm afraid you'll run away?"

She said it casually, with a hint of joking, but Wang Teng could tell that she was trying to reassure him to accept it.

Looking at Ning Rongrong, Wang Teng felt a thousand words welling up in his heart, but he didn't know where to begin.

Finally, he simply nodded heavily and said solemnly, "...Thank you."

These two words already contain so much.

"You go!"

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she turned around and reached out to pull the door shut.

Ning Rongrong moved slowly, as if she was waiting for something, or perhaps she just didn't want to close the door too quickly.

Wang Teng took a deep look at her back as she turned away, then glanced at the dormitory door that was about to close.

Moonlight shone on Ning Rongrong's shoulders, outlining a soft silhouette.

Then, Wang Teng gripped the book and token in his hand, turned and left.

Behind me, I heard the soft sound of a door closing.

In the darkness, Wang Teng paused, but ultimately did not turn back.

He strode forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, leaving only the moonlight quietly shining on Shrek's dirt road.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Teng left Ning Rongrong's dormitory.

However, instead of heading directly out of the college, Wang Teng made a large detour and went around to the side and rear of Ning Rongrong's dormitory.

This is Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wang Teng reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared behind the door, wearing a black, tight-fitting nightgown and with her hair down.

Upon seeing Wang Teng, Zhu Zhuqing was visibly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Then, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "You came to see me so late, aren't you afraid Rongrong will be jealous?"

"I……"

Wang Teng looked closely at Zhu Zhuqing and stammered.

"It wouldn't look good if someone saw this, so hurry up and come in."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing stepped aside, gesturing for Wang Teng to come in.
