Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Dai Mubai, who had been watching Ning Rongrong closely, expecting to see her make a fool of herself, was surprised to find that Ning Rongrong seemed not to have heard the lewd and disgusting soul incantation, and was happily munching on the sausage.

Even though she herself would only eat Oscar's sausages as a last resort, this girl, who was obviously spoiled, could ignore external influences.

"Don't you find it disgusting?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, and Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Ning Rongrong with surprise, not understanding why this girl was unaffected.

"A Soul Master's Soul Skills and Soul Incantations are partly derived from the Soul Rings of Soul Beasts and partly from the Soul Master himself, or more precisely, from his thought patterns."

This kind of lewd soul curse is definitely not related to the soul beast from which the soul ring originated; it is the result of his own thought patterns, which means that he himself is a lewd person.

Looking at his face, one could see a pallor of inner weakness, and his eyes were faintly dark. Judging from this, he had probably been with quite a few women, leaving his body somewhat worn out.

However, that was just a problem with him and his soul spell, and had nothing to do with the quality of the sausages he made. Objectively speaking, his sausages were still pretty good. The large ones could restore physical strength and soul power, and could also be used as real sausages to fill one's stomach. Besides that, they should have other effects, but I haven't felt them yet.

I couldn't identify those small sausages either; my initial assessment is that they're the type used to resolve abnormal states..."

After finishing the small sausage in her hand, Ning Rongrong's calm comments surprised everyone, and Oscar was so shocked by her comments that he almost drooped his head to his chest.

Honestly, he had strong feelings for this girl, especially the way she ate his sausage without any hesitation, which made his heart flutter. But who would have thought that he would receive such a comment in the blink of an eye, making him so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"But what does that have to do with whether you feel disgusted or not?"

Xiao Wu still couldn't understand. No matter how good the sausage was, it was still too disgusting. She would never eat it, even if she were beaten to death.

That's because what I'm carrying is something you can't understand.

Glancing sideways, Ning Rongrong picked up eight large sausages and headed deeper into the village to continue the assessment, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere became rather somber afterward. Dai Mubai led the group to complete the remaining assessments and then headed towards the small hill behind the village.

Chapter 554 The Examination of Tang Shenwang

"Our dean previously mentioned that there are even stronger individuals within the academy. Is that Teacher Yue you're referring to?"

As Ning Rongrong climbed the steep path, she asked questions.

Tang San and his two companions were also very curious. They had already met Flander, who was a level 95 Title Douluo, a powerful figure even on the continent.

Shrek Academy actually has even stronger individuals; this academy is quite interesting.

"Last year, I had the privilege of witnessing the dean spar with Teacher Yue. The dean was defeated by Teacher Yue with a single sword strike and almost died."

Recalling the battle he witnessed last year, Dai Mubai was filled with admiration and longing; that was the true strength of a warrior.

"Could it be that Teacher Yue is a peak Douluo?"

Xiao Wu trembled. Although the bracelet suppressed the aura of her 100,000-year-old soul beast, she didn't know if she could hide it from the eyes and senses of a peak Douluo. If she were discovered, she would be in big trouble.

"No, Teacher Yue is only a Soul Saint, but he is a prodigy. It's just a pity that Teacher Yue has no interest in fame and fortune, otherwise he would definitely shine in the Soul Master Competition."

Shaking his head slightly, Dai Mubai fell silent, for the mountain path became steeper the higher he went, forcing him to use his Martial Soul to leap and climb.

Soon the group arrived at the mountaintop and found it smooth as a mirror, as if it had been carved out by some sharp tool. There was a pine tree on the edge, and under the pine tree was a stone table and benches. A middle-aged man was playing chess there, but there was no opponent in sight.

"Who is he playing chess with?"

Tang San asked, puzzled, and looked around but found no one else there.

"Teacher Yue is playing chess with himself."

After explaining, Dai Mubai stepped back to the edge and reminded them, "Your final test is to fight against Teacher Yue and gain his approval. If you perform well enough, you can become Teacher Yue's disciples."

"Aren't you his disciple?"

Tang San asked, sensing something strange about the senior's expression, and felt a pang of regret.

Dai Mubai simply shook his head slightly without explanation, his expression somewhat disappointed and gloomy.

He originally had the opportunity to become Teacher Yue's disciple, but unfortunately he ruined it. Xiao Ao and Fatty also failed to gain Teacher Yue's approval.

Otherwise, with this prodigy's support and guidance, why would I need to fear Davis?

"Would you like one to help restore your physical and spiritual energy?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong handed the remaining three recovery sausages to Tang San and the other two, indicating that they should use them to recover, since there would be an assessment battle later.

"I will not eat!"

Xiao Wu refused without hesitation, while keeping a close eye on Tang San beside her, giving off an air of "If you dare to eat it, I'll ignore you."

Although Tang San was somewhat tempted, after all, she was a prodigy and he had to prepare for the battle with all his might and adjust his condition to the peak, he could only shake his head slightly and refuse when he saw Xiao Wu's appearance.

Moreover, his condition wasn't bad. Although the previous mountain climb had consumed some physical and spiritual energy, it was nothing for him, who possessed the Xuan Tian Gong.

"Thank you!"

Compared to Tang San and his companion, Zhu Zhuqing was much more decisive. After confirming that Tang San and his companion did not want to eat these sausages, she grabbed the three sausages, thanked Ning Rongrong, and began to eat them heartily.

Although she still felt a little strange, she was much more mature because of her own experiences, so she could tolerate this feeling of unease.

Moreover, if one could become a disciple of a prodigy, one would surely be able to break free from the shackles of fate. Even the Star Luo royal family and clans would not dare to offend a prodigy.

"I knew it, you and I are both carrying some burdens."

Zhu Zhuqing's decisiveness made Ning Rongrong smile, and she felt even closer to her.

She had been secretly observing the group for a while and was quite disappointed with Tang San and Xiao Wu, as she didn't see any particularly outstanding qualities in them. However, Zhu Zhuqing's personality suited her taste perfectly.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and is loved by her father and grandfather, she is also aware of the family and sect's predicament. Her father and grandfather have placed their hopes on her, so she naturally cannot let them and her family down. That's why she came to Shrek Academy.

The four of them walked to the center of the platform and stood quietly, waiting for Teacher Yue to finish his game.

Although Dai Mubai didn't say it, they all understood that they shouldn't bother Teacher Yue at this time to avoid upsetting her.

They waited like this, from noon until the afternoon when Teacher Yue, or rather, Mr. Tian, ​​finally finished his game of chess.

That's right, this Teacher Yue is actually Tian Hao in disguise, just like the pseudonym he used before, it was all arranged long ago.

Even more surprisingly, Yue Buqun's disguise was arranged earlier. He arrived in the village to stake out the place before Flanders and the other two decided to establish an academy there, and even managed to obtain the identity of a villager.

At that time, it was just to monitor the three people, and he didn't think much about it. However, after thinking about it, he kept the piece and strengthened it, all for today.

After arranging the chess pieces, Tian Hao stood up and walked towards the four boys and girls.

"The waiting before was a test. You two passed the test, and you two failed the test."

Tian Hao first looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, indicating that they had passed the test, and then announced that Tang San and Xiao Wu had failed the test.

"Why? I don't accept this."

After confirming that the person's expression was normal and that he hadn't recognized her as a soul beast, Xiao Wu grew bolder and expressed her dissatisfaction.

The four of them have stood there all this time, so why do you say that she and her third brother are not up to par? And how are those two women any better than her?

Tang San frowned, feeling as if he and Xiao Wu were being targeted.

"Previously, I appeared to be playing chess, but I was actually using my sword intent to sense your emotional fluctuations."

You are lively and active, but also impatient and have a wild streak, and you have a strong dissatisfaction with me.

No need to make excuses; these are all things I perceived myself. Your hearts cannot deceive me.

Tian Hao, disguised as Yue Buqun, calmly explained, which made Xiao Wu angry and want to retort, but Tang San quickly pulled her back and shook his head slightly to signal her not to be impulsive.

Turning his gaze to Tang San, Tian Hao wore a puzzled expression.

"You are the strangest among the four of us. Your mind and thoughts are extremely deep, like an abyss that is unfathomable. I have seen many people with similar mindsets, but this is the first time I have seen someone of your age with such deep cunning."

But that's not important to me, since your personality and temperament are none of my concern.

The main reason you failed my test is that your martial spirit aura is too mixed, making you unsuitable for cultivating swordsmanship with me.

After hearing that comment, Tang San lowered his eyelids and calmly retorted, "What you said about my martial soul aura being mixed should refer to my choice of spirit rings, but I don't think my choice of spirit rings is wrong."

They granted me strength surpassing that of other Soul Masters of the same level, allowing me to demonstrate formidable power based on the seemingly useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

He systematically studied all of his teacher's theories, and had already made a series of plans for his future choice of spirit rings. He only needed to keep going to become a powerful spirit master.

Therefore, he did not think that he and his teacher had made a mistake in their choice of theory; rather, he believed that others' thinking was too conservative and outdated, and that they did not understand the greatness of this new concept.

Not to mention that he has twin martial souls; his first martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, is merely used to pave the way for his second martial soul.

"Your teacher must not be very capable, right?"

Tian Hao smiled and asked a question in return, which made Tang San frown, not understanding why this person would ask this.

"Only the strong can understand the world of the strong. Young man, you'd better watch yourself."

After offering a friendly reminder, Tian Hao was too lazy to explain further, since he had no intention of using this alias to teach Tang Shenwang and that little rabbit anyway.

His real targets were Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, especially Ning Rongrong.

The plan to create a knock-off version of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is of great importance and is a strategic matter. He not only wants Ning Rongrong to successfully inherit the position of the Nine-Colored Goddess, but also wants her to upgrade it to the position of a first-level main god.

Theoretically, this is possible. For example, Ning Rongrong and Oscar's future Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be used as a foundation to devour Oscar and the God of Food's position, turning them into nutrients for upgrading.

Once Ning Rongrong upgrades the Nine-Colored Goddess's divine position to a first-level main god position, their final gains will undoubtedly be even greater.

Of course, before that, Ning Rongrong must be strengthened, at least to the level of a prodigy, and have sufficient combat power.

"You two have excellent character and a serious dedication to power. Most importantly, you were able to suppress your discomfort with Oscar's sausage and use it to restore your physical condition. This proves that you have sufficient awareness, and this is what satisfies me the most."

Turning his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Tian Hao nodded in approval, and his final words made the two realize that the key to their passing the test was Oscar's sausage.

Tang San and Xiao Wu also realized what had happened and felt regretful. If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have refused the sausage.

"Would you two be willing to become my disciples?"

Tian Hao's direct question surprised everyone, even Dai Mubai, who had been standing by the platform, was stunned.

"Disciple Ning Rongrong greets Master!"

"Disciple Zhu Zhuqing greets Master!"

Realizing what was happening, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quickly performed the apprenticeship ceremony. Only a fool wouldn't bow to such a brilliant teacher.

"Teacher Yue, why did you take on a disciple so quickly this time?"

Coming to his senses, Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask, somewhat unconvinced. He could roughly guess Ning Rongrong's identity, after all, there was only one family with the surname Ning and from a prominent clan.

But what makes that stupid woman Zhu Zhuqing think she can be accepted as a disciple by Teacher Yue?

He, Dai Mubai, was not convinced!

"I've told you before that my swordsmanship places strict requirements on one's temperament, and its core lies in one's temperament, which has nothing to do with the quality of one's martial soul or soul rings."
