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

You've made a profit, but we'll never lose out; in fact, we'll make even more.

Compared to that inheritance, a few hundred thousand-year soul rings are truly insignificant.

After another night of fussing, Tian Hao set off early the next morning with his seven disciples to the Sunset Forest for actual combat with soul beasts.

Now that they've shown themselves, let's give them a good talking-to.

Ning Rongrong, who had been thoroughly played with once again, was cleaned by Zhu Zhuqing and Ao Jiu'er. The two women were envious of this opportunity, but not jealous.

Because Ning Rongrong suffered a lot for this opportunity, and her painful appearance made them feel uneasy. Who could be jealous of such a way of gaining something?

"Rongrong, are you alright?"

When they gathered together for dinner that evening, Oscar felt even more heartache and self-reproach when he saw Ning Rongrong's pale face. He even imagined the scene of his goddess being tormented by the vice dean of Canghui Academy.

It's all their fault that Rongrong has to endure this suffering.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Ning Rongrong nodded to Oscar and gave a brief reply. She continued to sip her meat porridge, which contained many precious medicinal herbs that were highly beneficial to her health.

Dai Mubai and the others looked bewildered, unsure of what to say.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun really have no right to talk about this kind of thing, after all, they used to be much more extravagant than Ning Rongrong.

Although Tang San felt disgusted and even contemptuous, he did not show it.

He had been sharing a room with Xiao Wu for the past few days and had been taking care of her. However, he had also heard about Ning Rongrong from Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun and felt disgusted by her.

Such promiscuous women only existed in certain kinds of places in my past life; if they were in a normal family, they would have been tied up and drowned in a pig cage long ago.

Ning Rongrong was completely unaware of this ridiculous misunderstanding. She was thinking about her previous insights into upgrading spirit rings, trying to figure out the method so that her father and the others could also upgrade their spirit rings.

If my father and all the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could possess a complete set of 100,000-year soul rings, it wouldn't make much difference if they didn't become Title Douluo.

Moreover, with the support of seven 100,000-year soul rings, it might be able to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break through its limits and evolve into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the family legend.

It should be noted that spirit rings can assist in the evolution of a spirit master's spirit. The defects of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit can be solved through evolution. This is the path that their family and sect have researched for generations.

Evolving a martial soul is too difficult; currently, relying on spirit rings is the only reliable method.

However, to promote the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, it is not something that can be done with ordinary soul rings. It requires a 100,000-year soul ring, and the more the better.

I was fortunate enough to be able to assemble a complete set of 100,000-year soul rings to try and break through this path.

If successful, it would pave a broad road to prosperity for the family.

Zhu Zhuqing ignored the strange atmosphere at the dinner table; she had been focusing on developing her three soul ring skills.

Although Ning Rongrong had the opportunity to increase the age of her spirit rings, which she envied, she didn't take it too seriously.

Because her future major is swordsmanship, the soul ring skills are just a transitional step for her to build a foundation. In the face of powerful swordsmanship, even a soul skill that is 100,000 years old is no match for her.

Over the past few days, she has almost fully developed her first soul skill based on her teacher's guidance. She can now transfer that speed boost to her entire body, achieving an overall speed increase, rather than simply increasing the speed of her legs like a soul skill would.

With the experience gained from developing the first soul skill, he has also gained a great understanding of the development of the second soul skill, making gratifying progress. In a while, he will be able to apply it to actual combat.

However, she was not satisfied and was researching how to break down the Netherworld Slash so that it could be used separately with both hands, or even with her feet.

While the destructive power will be reduced, the combat flexibility will be greatly improved, and when combined with the Purple Cloud Step, the strength can be further enhanced.

It's very difficult to accomplish, even with the teacher's previous guidance and the spiritual power shared by Ning Rongrong.

As for Ao Jiu'er, she noticed the strange atmosphere, but she ignored it and was also thinking about her own cultivation.

During this time, she followed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to practice the Zixia Meditation Method and Zixia Step, as well as the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter and the Distraction Control Method. Among them, she practiced the Zixia Meditation Method and the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter the fastest, and even caught up with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

It wasn't that her aptitude was better than the two women's, but rather that she was already twenty-two years old, a full ten years older than the two women, and had been cultivating for a longer time, with her soul power reaching level forty-seven.

The Zixia Meditation Method allows for faster cultivation the more soul power one possesses, while the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter requires the consumption of soul power to temper the body; naturally, the more soul power one has, the easier it is to cultivate.

However, with this level of strength, entering Sunset Forest would still be very dangerous. She didn't ask to be of any help, she only hoped not to become a burden to the team.

It's not easy to do that.

"The dean came over this morning and told me that we'll be setting off into Sunset Forest early tomorrow morning."

After finishing their meal, Dai Mubai brought up something.

The injury from last time wasn't too serious to begin with, and with Oscar's healing sausage, it's basically healed in the last few days. It's time to set off into Sunset Forest.

Entering Sunset Forest to hunt Oscar for his fourth spirit ring was only one of the purposes; another purpose was to gain experience and use spirit beasts to increase everyone's real combat experience.

It's important to understand that battles against spirit beasts are quite different from battles in the Great Spirit Arena. While those are also real battles, they are generally limited to brief encounters and not true life-or-death struggles.

Only battles between life and death are true battles, and they are the best way to cultivate one's killing intent.

Only a Soul Master who possesses a murderous aura can be considered a true Soul Master.

"Should we change course and find another way to enter Sunset Forest?"

Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and he suggested that they change course first.

Although they were defeated before, they had still incurred the wrath of Canghui Academy, especially since Dean Flander wanted to use force, which would inevitably make them resentful.

With such a powerful enemy at his side, he was hesitant to continue into Sunset Forest from here; it was too dangerous.

Dai Mubai smiled wryly and said helplessly, "The dean said that the vice dean of Canghui Academy is a spirit master. If he wants to track us down and ambush us, it won't matter where he runs."

However, that person has already reached an agreement with Teacher Yue, so they definitely won't attack us again. They certainly don't want to become mortal enemies with a powerful figure like Teacher Yue.

He understood Tang San's concerns, and even had the same concerns himself before. However, there was no use thinking about it anymore, because Tang San was too strong, and no matter what they thought, they could not avoid him.

So whether we go back immediately or continue with the original plan to enter Sunset Forest, it doesn't matter, so we might as well continue.

"Tell me, how many more monstrous quotes does our Dean have?"

After finishing her meat porridge, Ning Rongrong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and asked.

They were badly tricked by that monster's quote last time, and even their own grandfather was so foolish that he questioned his existence.

Fortunately, the teacher left behind a sword aura clone before they left; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Having already been badly scammed once, she didn't want to be scammed again. She wanted to find out the details first to avoid causing any more trouble in Sunset Forest.

"It's gone, completely gone. I burned that notebook that recorded the monster's quotes the night before last."

Although it was quite embarrassing, Dai Mubai immediately stated that he would no longer follow the so-called monster's words.

The previous experience was a huge blow to him, especially the humiliating defeat he suffered, which he still can't hold his head up in shame.

Clearly, the dean's words were unreliable, and he didn't want to be fooled again.

Ma Hongjun also felt embarrassed. Although he didn't say anything, he nodded to indicate that he wouldn't do it again. However, he didn't completely deny his teacher's philosophy; at most, he would be more careful in the future.

Ning Rongrong was quite dissatisfied with his somewhat perfunctory attitude, but she did not criticize him. After all, he also had his pride, and being too forceful would only have the opposite effect.

“Fatty, I’ve heard our teacher mention your martial soul flaw. He said you have the highest potential among us. Although that evil fire has many side effects, it will be incredibly powerful once you master it. It’s the foundation for becoming a prodigy.”

We've all found our way forward, Fatty, you can't fall behind.

When anger arises, there's really nothing we can do about it, and we can all understand that, but there's no need to actively provoke it in normal times.

We can take it step by step. For example, we can control our eyes and stop staring at girls all the time.

During this meal, you secretly glanced at Sister Jiu'er forty-three times, at Zhu Qing seventeen times, at Xiao Wu eleven times, and at me eight times.

It's okay since we're on the same side, but it would be a disaster if it were someone else.

In the future Soul Master Competition, you will encounter many older women who are your type, but those powerful women are not to be trifled with, as they can be deadly.

For example, Tang Yuehua, the dean of the Illusionary Sound Academy, is married to the first genius on the continent, the Holy Spirit Sword Saint. She is also considered a disciple of the Sword Douluo. Her powerful backing is something even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't dare to provoke. Even our teacher has said that we are not as good as that Sword Douluo and the Holy Spirit Sword Saint..."

To save face for Ma Hongjun and avoid the opposite outcome, Ning Rongrong spoke rather tactfully, but it still made Ma Hongjun feel very embarrassed.

He blushed, especially when talking about secretly peeking at his female teammates.

"You dare to peek at me!"

Upon hearing that she had also been spied on by that lecherous fat man, Xiao Wu's eyebrows shot up in anger. If Tang San hadn't been holding her back, she would have jumped over and attacked him.

Being spied on by a man is nothing unusual for women, but they know all too well how wicked that fat man's thoughts are, and who knows what he's thinking while he's spying on them.

The thought of this gave me goosebumps and made me even angrier.

Even Tang San frowned at this, quite displeased.

However, since they were all on the same team, and the fat man was Flander's disciple, he couldn't say anything.

"I'll wear sunglasses from now on."

After holding it in for a while, Ma Hongjun came up with a solution on his own, leaving everyone speechless.

"Okay, whatever you like."

With a headache, Ning Rongrong felt increasingly that her father's vision and thinking were problematic. First, he led the family and sect to be repeatedly ruined, and then he chose the Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy.

But these people don't seem very reliable.

"Fatty, we won't say anything at other times, but when it comes to the Soul Master Competition, don't be stupid. There are some people we really can't afford to offend, not even our Star Luo Royal Family."

Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun hard on the shoulder, giving him a serious and earnest warning.

He agreed with Ning Rongrong's words. Although there weren't many strong women on this continent, they were all formidable, especially Tang Yuehua, the dean of the Illusionary Sound Academy.

Let alone Ma Hongjun, even if I offended someone and they chopped me up, my father would never say anything.

Upon closer reflection, this habit of fat people can sometimes be really dangerous.

"I'll feel safer if I wear sunglasses with darker colors so I can't see their faces clearly."

Scratching his head, Ma Hongjun upgraded his previous method.

There's no way around it; it's become a habit, ingrained in my instincts. When I see a pretty older woman, I can't help but want to look at her; it's not something I can control with willpower.

"Xiao Ao, I'm leaving the task of choosing sunglasses for Fatty to you."

Ning Rongrong gestured to Oscar, who was staring intently at her. She couldn't expect too much from this matter; it wasn't realistic to expect Ma Hongjun to change those habits all at once. This was already quite good.

"Ah? Oh! I see, I'll definitely choose a pair of glasses that can perfectly filter out all the temptations of beauty for him."

Once he came to his senses, Oscar quickly patted his chest and assured him, adjusting his goggles as he spoke.

"Next, let's talk about teamwork. Putting aside our own team, how do you all feel about the performance of the Canghui team on that day?"

Don't let personal emotions get in the way. Calmly and seriously reflect and analyze; there are many things we can learn from them.

Ning Rongrong brought up another topic: since they were going to enter a dangerous place like Sunset Forest, even just wandering around the outer perimeter would be very dangerous. They needed to have enough tacit cooperation to ensure their safety to the greatest extent.
