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

"Senior, please change the terms. I cannot leave Shrek Academy."

"You just can't leave Shrek Academy? Then wait until I destroy Flander and disband his academy. Once Shrek Academy is gone, you'll be a free man."

Tian Hao acted very reasonably, and also showed his determination to have Ning Rongrong.

This determination to succeed made Ning Rongrong both proud and troubled. Shrek Academy was related to her father's and Haotian Sect's plans, and could not afford to fail.

"Sir, shall we leave this matter here?"

At this moment, an old voice rang out, and the soul pressure suppressing Ning Rongrong and the other two disappeared at the same time, or rather, it was suppressed by another soul pressure.

"Grandpa Bone!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Ning Rongrong turned her head and saw that it was none other than her grandfather.

"Don't worry, Grandpa's here."

Gu Rong affectionately pinched Ning Rongrong's little cheek, then looked at someone, but the other person's fiery gaze made his heart skip a beat and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Bone Douluo Ancient Banyan? I've been looking for you for so long."

He flashed to the ancient banyan tree, Tian Hao showing an excited expression.

"What business do you have with me, sir?"

The man's excitement made Gu Rong even more vigilant, and she felt a sense of crisis creeping into her heart.

“I have been researching the power of space, but unfortunately I am still a little short. I really want to find a strong person who is proficient in space soul skills to cooperate with my research. You are the most suitable candidate.”

Tian Hao spoke without any hesitation, then reached out and grabbed Gu Rong's forehead.

Gu Rong naturally wouldn't let the other party succeed, but just as he was about to retaliate, he was horrified to find that he couldn't mobilize his soul power.

It wasn't that his soul power was suppressed, but rather that his consciousness was enveloped by a powerful spiritual force, isolating him from control of his soul power.

Without conscious commands, it is naturally difficult to control soul power, and even the body will be out of control.

And so, Tian Hao placed his palm on Gu Rong's forehead, channeling his spiritual energy into her body, pretending to be giving her a free medical check-up.

"Senior, please don't hurt Grandpa Bone!"

Ning Rongrong was extremely anxious, and even regretted showing her face.

Although she wanted to save Flander's life and the existence of Shrek Academy, she did not want to sacrifice her own grandfather, Bones.

"Honey, I won't hurt him, I'm just giving him a physical exam to do some research."

"Take a nap first, and when you wake up, be a good disciple of mine."

Tian Hao pinched Ning Rongrong just like Gu Rong had done, then moved his palm up and pressed it against her forehead, as if to knock her unconscious.

Immediately, as if something was triggered, a sword aura shot out from between Ning Rongrong's eyebrows, forcing the palm away.

Then, Zhu Zhuqing and Ao Jiu'er each shot out a sword aura from between their eyebrows, which merged with Ning Rongrong's sword aura to form a phantom.

When the phantom materialized, it was taken aback upon seeing someone's disguised state. It was only after that person secretly established contact with it that it understood the whole story.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing the illusory figure, Ning Rongrong and the other two were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

With this teacher around, they don't need to worry about anything.

"She is my disciple."

After a moment of silence, Old Yue's clone spoke, indicating that Ning Rongrong was already taken.

"That's such a shame!"

Tian Hao showed a slightly regretful expression, then seriously performed a physical examination on Gu Rong, and only withdrew his hand after half an hour.

"I hope the next time we meet, it will be your true form, and then we can have a chat."

Releasing the ancient banyan tree, Tian Hao invited Lao Yue's clone to make preparations for the subsequent plan.

"I'm really looking forward to it too."

Old Yue's clone nodded in approval, then pointed his fingers like a sword at the center of Gu Rong's forehead, suppressing his will and thoughts with his powerful sword intent.

"Are you ever going to stop...?"

Gu Rong, whose body was once again restrained, was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he was helpless and had no way to resist.

Although the method of suppression was different this time, he was still powerless to fight back, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

Everyone here is a level 99 peak Douluo, so why is there such a big difference?

It's one thing to be unable to defeat the one from Canghui Academy, but what is this thing in front of me that is clearly not the real body, but something like a clone, yet it was able to subdue me instantly?

"teacher!"

Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded and became anxious again. How could even the teacher have her eye on Grandpa Bone?

"I'm increasingly looking forward to meeting you."

Wearing a vest, Tian Hao revealed the joy of meeting a kindred spirit, then gestured to Ye Zhi Qiu and his seven disciples before entering the restaurant.

Although there was a minor hiccup, we couldn't let the disciples' meal be delayed.

Everyone in the restaurant had already fled when the soul pressure disappeared. The restaurant owner, however, was still holding on. After Ye Zhi Qiu went over to comfort him, he went to the back, still shaken, to instruct the waiters to cook for the customers.

On the other side, Old Yue's clone at the door pretended to study the ancient banyan tree for half an hour before withdrawing his hand, and then left a copy of the inheritance in his mind as compensation for the physical examination.

"I don't care what your plans are, but don't interfere with my teaching of Rongrong and the others. You shouldn't keep loitering around the academy. Rongrong is safe with my protection, so you don't need to worry about her. Besides, you're too weak. This time, as compensation, I'm giving you a legacy."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Old Yue's clone split into three sword energies that returned to Ning Rongrong's brow, or rather, her spiritual sea.

"Am I too weak?"

Having regained control of his body, Gu Rong was deeply hurt, severely affected by that last sentence.

He, the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, was actually being told he was too weak, and he couldn't even refute it. He was instantly subdued twice, leaving him utterly powerless.

"Grandpa Bone".

Ning Rongrong was very worried. Although the teacher and that person didn't seem to be trying to hurt Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Bone's current condition didn't look good at all.

"With that powerful figure protecting you, Grandpa Bone can rest assured. From now on, listen to your teacher's advice. The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School depends on you."

Gently stroking Ning Rongrong's hair, Gu Rong spoke with loving concern and emotion, then turned her head to look at Flander, who was squatting down to treat Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

"Flander, you're lucky this time, but your luck won't last. You and Shrek Academy aren't essential. Take care of yourself."

After issuing a cold warning, Bone Douluo opened a spatial portal and stepped inside. But before the portal could close, a figure darted in after him.

What are you doing following me here?

Sensing something amiss behind him, Gu Rong whirled around and stared intently at the newcomer, inwardly groaning in despair.

Why did this person follow us?

What's the purpose?

"That person just said they left you a legacy, why don't you share it?"

Tian Hao had a smiling face, but his words made Gu Rong's blood pressure soar, and he felt like he had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

"I'll have to do it myself."

With a sigh, Tian Hao pressed his palm against Gu Rong's forehead again without saying a word, and used the spiritual power he had specially cultivated to invade Gu Rong's spiritual sea, pretending to read the inheritance.

"Come on, open the door and take me back."

He withdrew his mental energy and gestured for the other person to open the door and see him off, since one should always see things through to the end.

"..."

Although he felt so frustrated and depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, Gu Rong still opened a spatial portal directly to that restaurant, and also opened a spatial portal for himself to escape, never wanting to see that thing again.

Having finished his act, Mr. Tian smugly passed through the portal back to the restaurant's main entrance, only to be met with a pair of bright eyes filled with rage.

"Don't worry, I was just having a private conversation with your grandfather, I didn't hurt him, really, you see, he even took the initiative to bring me back in the end."

Reaching out, Tian Hao pinched the girl's soft, smooth cheek and earnestly told her that he and Bone Douluo were best buddies.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have a teacher."

Ning Rongrong shoved someone's hand away, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Don't be so absolute. These days, having more teachers and learning more skills is never a bad thing. I'm sure your teacher won't mind."

Tian Hao reached out his other hand and pinched the girl's other smooth cheek, showing his determination to have this disciple and that he didn't even mind sharing her with others.

Chapter 564 Oscar's Awakening

In a secluded cave, Tang San was taking care of Xiao Wu, who was seriously injured and unconscious. He was filled with self-blame and worry, and also had endless murderous intent.

It was my fault for not protecting Xiao Wu and causing her to be hurt again; I was just too incompetent.

While Tang San was grieving, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and abruptly raised the two Zhuge crossbows he had been holding in his hands, pulling the triggers repeatedly and firing nearly a hundred crossbow bolts.

The arrows from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow are incredibly powerful, capable of piercing even steel and rock. Imagine firing both arrows from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow at once; even a Soul Saint-level expert would be severely injured if caught off guard.

However, the newcomer was very strong and well-prepared; the arrows he fired were blocked by a pair of wings.

"it's me."

Flander retracted his wings and, with a grim expression, shouted to identify himself.

Upon seeing that it was Flander, Tang San finally put down the two Zhuge Crossbows that he had taken out again from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night.

"Dean."

After confirming it was Flander, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to him.

"Feed Xiaowu the sausage first."

Looking at Xiao Wu, who still looked pained even in her unconscious state, Flander took out a large recovery sausage and handed it to Tang San.

After learning the details from Ning Rongrong, he asked the seriously injured Oscar for a recovery sausage and tracked him down.

His Majesty Haotian takes that little beast very seriously and must not allow anything to happen to him.

Upon seeing the giant recovery sausage, Tang San was overjoyed and quickly took it from Xiao Wu and ate it. After eating the sausage, the pain between Xiao Wu's brows did indeed ease considerably.

While a single healing sausage won't heal an injury completely, it can provide some relief.
