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

I just don't understand what gives them their confidence. Tyrone, you know them best, what's your opinion?

Ignoring Flanders and the other two, Ning Rongrong started talking about tomorrow's opponents, and finally gestured for Tyrone to speak first.

The seven Shrek students were just outsiders, while Tyrone was a native of Blue Tyrant Academy and had trained with Jiangzhu and others in the Blue Tyrant team for many years, so he knew them inside and out.

Seeing that he had been called out, Tyrone scratched his head and said, "It's no use talking about the past. The changes in Jiangzhu and the others came from their contact with that person and the acquisition of the power of the strange fire."

"As you all know, I come from the Power Clan, and the Third Young Master is our young master. Back then, they excluded me. I don't know much about Jiangzhu and the others' advancement, but their power is definitely centered around that strange fire."

He didn't have much to say, and he himself didn't know the specific changes in Jiangzhu and the other two; they had long since excluded him.

Speaking of this, he felt quite regretful. If he hadn't listened to his father's advice and chosen to follow Tang San, he might have been able to obtain a different kind of flame and become stronger as quickly as Jiang Zhu and the other two.

According to their analysis, that strange fire was not unique to any one person; it could spread as long as the conditions were right.

If he could obtain a unique flame that suits him, he could pass it on to the entire Power Clan, thereby enhancing the strength of the entire clan.

Unfortunately, he missed that opportunity, and now it's too late for regrets.

"Brother Dai, what's your opinion on Huang Yuan?"

Ning Rongrong was slightly disappointed, and then looked at Dai Mubai.

The last time Dai Mubai fought Huang Yuan, he personally experienced Huang Yuan's strength, and his feelings about it must have been the most profound.

"Huang Yuan must have used all his strength at that time, but it is unclear whether he has improved in the past month."

Recalling the battle that day, Dai Mubai was certain that Huang Yuan had not held back, or at least did not have any stronger methods left.

The only uncertainty now is what exactly happened during the month that Jadeite took the three of them away from the academy.

He originally guessed that the three of them had obtained their fifth spirit rings and thus gained an upgrade, since Huang Yuan and Jing Ling had already reached level 50 at that time and could have easily obtained their fifth spirit rings.

However, in the past few days, the three opponents have only revealed four spirit rings, and they are still only four-ring Soul Masters.

So what exactly did Jadeite do while it took the three of them away for a month?

Why not bring three people to obtain new spirit rings?

Ning Rongrong seemed to be deep in thought, then looked at Ma Hongjun.

"Fourth Brother, tell me about your feelings about Jiangzhu's life-giving flame."

On the day of the battle between Ma Hongjun and Jiangzhu, Ma Hongjun lost in a very strange way. Afterwards, in order to save Ma Hongjun's face, she did not ask. But now that they are going to face the Blue Overlord team, she has to find out the truth.

When asked about this, Ma Hongjun's expression turned sour, and he even seemed to harbor some deep-seated fear and lingering trauma, vividly recalling the battle that day.

"Her life-giving flames are immune to my phoenix flames, and even ignite my phoenix flames in turn, and have invaded my three external soul bones."

It was precisely because of the conflict with her life force within the soul bone that it exploded internally when the soul bone skill was unleashed, shattering the soul bone.

Moreover, once you come into contact with that flame, it will cause intense pain and a deep sense of exhaustion, feeling as if…

Suppressing his fear, Ma Hongjun recalled the feeling he had experienced back then, and it took him a while to come up with a more appropriate description.

"It felt like I'd ejaculated dozens of times, and my body was completely drained."

That feeling was awful; he lay in bed for several days afterward before he recovered.

"Pooh!"

The vivid description made the three girls in the room secretly spit out their contempt.

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was more rational. She quickly calmed herself down and pondered Ma Hongjun's words. Finally, she seemed to understand something and looked at Tang San.

"Third Brother, use your Eight Spider Lances to devour Fourth Brother's life force, let him feel what that feeling is like."

She has a guess that needs to be verified. If it is true, it will be very troublesome, and it is even possible that Jiangzhu is the most troublesome member of the Blue Overlord team.

Tang San quickly guessed Ning Rongrong's guess, and his heart sank, realizing that this would be a rather thorny problem.

Without saying much, he revealed the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone piercing Ma Hongjun's shoulder, using the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone's devouring ability to absorb Ma Hongjun's life force.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling!"

Feeling as if his body was being drained, Ma Hongjun quickly spoke up and moved his shoulder away from the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone, afraid of being drained.

"Indeed, it's the worst-case scenario."

Rubbing her forehead with a headache, Ning Rongrong knew that tomorrow's battle would be very difficult, and that they would probably have to all of them go into battle.

"Rongrong, do you mean that the Flame of Life can devour our life force?"

Oscar understood as well, and his expression changed.

Dai Mubai's expression was also not good. If that kind of strange fire could devour life force, it would be quite unfriendly to a close-combat type of soul master like himself.

"According to the notes left by that senior Xiao Lang, the Flame of Life is formed by fusing flames with life force and has a strong healing effect. However, since one of its components is life force, it can naturally use life force as fuel to sustain itself."

Fourth Brother must have suffered so much pain because his life force was burned by the Flame of Life. The Flame of Life also has a strong corrosive effect, even eroding Fourth Brother's three external soul bones.

Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you must not confront Jiangzhu tomorrow, and you must not use external soul bones to deal with her.

"Also, Third Brother, don't use Blue Silver Grass's soul skills against her. The essence of Blue Silver Grass is life force, which will likely be countered by the Flame of Life. Your fire immunity might not be enough to withstand it; that's not just simple flame."

He specifically reminded Tang San and Ma Hongjun, who possess external soul bones, that Jiang Zhu, with her Life Flame, was too much of a counter to them, and that they would likely face dire consequences if they were to clash with her.

Tang San and Ma Hongjun nodded silently to show they understood. They didn't want to confront Jiang Zhu either, as it would be fatal if their external soul bones were tainted by that strange fire power.

Ma Hongjun had experienced this before. It was okay if the scorpion tail was blown up, as it could regenerate. However, the shattering of the pincers in his hands almost crippled his hands.

Tang San is even more so. His Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone is attached to his spine and ribs. If it explodes, he will be paralyzed even if he doesn't die, which is extremely fatal.

"These past few days, that woman has been enveloping her martial spirit in that kind of flame every time, and it feels really strange."

Xiao Wu suddenly made a strange discovery: back in the academy, she had never seen Jiang Zhu wrap the healing scepter in flames.

These words startled Ning Rongrong, who then frowned and pondered. When she recalled one of the major characteristics of the strange fire, she was suddenly shocked.

"I understand, her martial soul may have evolved."

Revealing her own guesses only made Ning Rongrong feel more troubled and put in a more difficult position.

In order to conceal the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she had specifically learned the method of human-device integration from Canghui Academy, integrating it into her body to disguise it.

Jiangzhu, however, enveloped her entire martial spirit in flames, making it difficult for others to see clearly, perhaps as a means of concealment.

Since it needs to be concealed, its martial soul must have changed and it doesn't want others to notice; the most likely explanation is evolution.

Coincidentally, one of the essential abilities of the Strange Fire is evolution, but it was overlooked before.

“Jing Ling’s martial spirit must have evolved as well.”

Tang San then spoke up, recalling his sparring match with Jing Ling last time, which left the deepest impression on him.

At the time, he noticed something was wrong with Jingling with the help of the Purple Demon Eye, but he only thought it was because she had a stronger control over the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and incorporated it into the battle. Now he thinks it was probably not just a simple fusion, but a martial soul evolution.

At that time, Jingling explained to him the essential difference between martial soul evolution and martial soul mutation, which shows that he was very knowledgeable in this area, indirectly proving that his martial soul may have also evolved.

These words sent a chill down everyone's spines, making their scalps tingle.

"Boss Dai, could it be that Huang Yuan has also evolved his martial soul?"

Oscar nudged Dai Mubai beside him and asked in a low voice.

Two of the three members of the Blue Tyrant team have now seemingly evolved their martial souls, and Huang Yuan, the remaining member, should also have evolved by now.

"No, at the time I could clearly sense that my White Tiger Martial Soul had a strong suppressive effect on his Martial Soul, but it was dispersed and neutralized by the claw intent and strange fire he cultivated."

After thinking it over, Dai Mubai was quite certain that Huang Yuan's martial soul had not evolved and was still the original Lone Wolf martial soul, a very ordinary intermediate martial soul.

"It's highly unlikely. According to that notebook, Huang Yuan's Star Moon Flame was formed by fusing with his fourth spirit ring, so its compatibility with his spirit is very low, and it's also the most difficult to evolve his spirit."

Ning Rongrong quickly followed up with a denial, also not believing that Huang Yuan's martial soul would evolve.

Jiangzhu's Life Flame was fused with the life attribute of her own martial soul, and Jingling's Bone Spirit Cold Flame was also fused and shaped with the power of her martial soul itself. The degree of compatibility with the martial soul is 100%, and the difficulty of fusion and evolution is not high.

However, Huang Yuan's Star Moon Flame originated from his fourth soul ring and was not directly connected to his martial soul; there was a layer between them.

"Talon, you two go talk to Teacher Qin Ming and try to comfort him."

At this moment, Flander hesitated for a moment and gestured for Tyrone and the other three to leave first.

"Oh!"

Tyrone nodded and left with three substitute players to go to Qin Ming's room.

After the four people left, Flander used his soul power to close all the doors and windows of the room, and then released his soul power to cover the entire room to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

Everyone realized that Flander had something important to say, and they all became serious.

"There's something you might not know: Xiao Lang didn't die."

After confirming that no one else was around, Flander took a deep breath and revealed the secret.

He didn't want to talk about this, but now the Blue Tyrant team has become an obstacle to Shrek Academy's progress. In order to ensure a smooth victory in tomorrow's battle, he felt it was necessary to reveal this matter.

"Impossible, he was fully ripe that day."

Ma Hongjun was the first to refute, expressing disbelief.

At that time, he could use three times the power of Phoenix Roaring Strike, and he knew very well how powerful it was.

Moreover, Tang San had previously unleashed so many poisonous hidden weapons on that person, turning his entire body into a pincushion, making it absolutely impossible for him to survive.

Dai Mubai and the others also looked incredulous. How could someone in that state possibly have survived?

"It's true. The next day, when I was about to retrieve the batch of hidden weapons, I found that he had crawled out of the burial site and followed the footprints to a river. He escaped by using the river water."

Tang San briefly recounted what happened that day. Although he himself found it unbelievable, it was the truth.

These words sent chills down their spines. The thought that the other person had not only survived such a fatal injury, but had also crawled out of the burial place and escaped was enough to send shivers down their spines.

And since they were the ones who surrounded and killed them, they would inevitably be the ones being watched.

A blood feud is a fight to the death!

Being targeted by such a heaven-defying and terrifying prodigy is a deadly feeling.

Ning Rongrong became withdrawn and didn't want to say anything more. She leaned her head against her best friend Zhu Zhuqing's thigh, staring blankly at the ceiling, her mind empty, not wanting to care about anything anymore.

She considers herself to be quite capable, but even she gets dragged down by so many incompetent teammates.

Too pit!
