Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

"Your Highness...why do you want to see me?"

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment.

Ning Fengzhi sensed the awkward atmosphere and immediately stepped forward to explain on Lu Ma's behalf:

"Rongrong, do not be rude. His Highness heard that our sect has produced a genius that is rare in a hundred years, and he greatly admires you, so he came to see you."

At the same time, he leaned close to Ning Rongrong's ear and whispered:

"Of course, it's also possible that I've sensed something. Due to my position, I can't openly oppose it. Rongrong, you need to be careful."

The sound was very soft.

Lu Ma did not hear those words clearly.

They didn't even notice Ning Fengzhi's little gesture.

Because Ning Fengzhi's words were still too fluent.

However, even with such fluent words, it was difficult to dispel Ning Rongrong's doubts.

However, Ning Rongrong pretended to be "not worried".

Admiration? Genius?

A faint hint of self-mockery flashed across Ning Rongrong's eyes.

That has nothing to do with her.

She was more inclined to believe what her father said later than what he had said earlier.

The other party must have noticed something.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit's previous doubts about the Elephant Armor Sect were correct.

The wall has ears.

Whenever she does something, she always leaves some kind of evidence.

The other party must have followed the clues and found their way here.

The thought of this filled Ning Rongrong with resentment.

She still couldn't figure out where she had been exposed.

Her fists clenched unconsciously.

other side--

They might be enemies!

"Oh?"

For a moment, Lu Ma sensed hostility emanating from Ning Rongrong.

It was a short time, but he was certain it wasn't his imagination.

He nodded.

I thought:

Interesting. It seems that Ning Rongrong also possesses an intelligent AI similar to the other characters, but it is usually suppressed by her own commands.

This doesn't mean that Lu Ma knew Ning Rongrong was conscious when he was directly controlling her; it simply means that Lu Ma knew Ning Rongrong had AI similar to other characters during the "simulation process."

However, now that it has been confirmed that Ning Rongrong is intelligent, it's time to make some bolder attempts.

Lu Ma thought for a moment and checked the time of the forced logout.

The time was in the upper left corner of his vision, usually hard to see, but Lu Ma could make out the numbers whenever he wanted—

43:22

After accelerating his journey, he still had this much time left.

So he spoke:

"Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me. However, Miss Rongrong's frankness has surprised me. I've heard that you've been cultivating diligently lately, making rapid progress, and even... having some unique encounters on the path of a Soul Master?"

“I’ve heard that your soul skills have deviated from the common types of soul skills in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It seems that you know some soul skills with offensive capabilities.”

Ning Rongrong's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and she clenched her teeth.

As expected, the other party noticed her problem.

The good news is that the other party only knows about his soul skill problem and is unaware of his identity as a member of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The fingers beneath the black clothes curled slightly.

After a moment of silence, she looked up and replied:

"Your Highness flatters me. I did have some fortuitous encounters, but the rest was just proceeding step by step. It wasn't anything extraordinary."

"Following the established procedures...?"

Lu Ma smiled and approached Ning Rongrong step by step.

"What level are you now? Level 48? I don't know if I'm right?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately took a step back, and even Ning Fengzhi and Jian Gu, who were standing to the side, were not able to remain calm.

Rongrong broke through to level 48 recently, and only a few people close to Rongrong in the sect knew about it. How did Xue Qinghe find out?

"It's weird!"

Chen Xin had already placed his hand on the sword hilt, but Gu Rong pressed him down as he was about to draw his sword.

The two, Jian and Gu, exchanged a glance and finally reached an agreement.

This commotion naturally did not escape Lu Ma's notice.

He knew that if he continued talking, he might die.

but--

This is a dream!

I won't die!

He was absolutely convinced of this, and then he began to speak:

"Judging from your reactions, I think I guessed right."

“I know you must be wondering why I know this.”

"But believe me, I meant no harm."

Chapter 118 Use the Holy Spirit Scroll on her!

"To reach such a level by following the steps step by step only shows one's exceptional talent."

Lu Ma pressed closer, manipulating Xue Qinghe's body to lean slightly forward, reducing the distance between him and Ning Rongrong to less than a meter.

"I have quite a bit of knowledge about Soul Masters, especially... some rare, even forbidden, power systems, which I have also dabbled in... Don't get me wrong, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace does have these things, which is why I have browsed them."

"Since Miss Rongrong is such a genius, I imagine she must also have unique insights into these things... Ah—"

He suddenly let out a long sigh of relief and looked up.

It's really gorgeous.

Then he continued speaking to Ning Rongrong:

"—For example, I know of a scroll that ordinary people can't see. I've heard that as long as you look at the contents of the scroll, your soul power level will increase. What do you think, Miss Rongrong?"

Ning Rongrong took another step back.

This time, Gu Rong alone could not stop Chen Xin, and it was only after Ning Fengzhi stepped forward that Chen Xin was finally stopped.

Chen Xin looked at the two of them, puzzled.

That expression seemed to be questioning:

If this continues, Rongrong will be in danger. Are we really just going to leave her alone?

Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

He knew that, of course.

Xue Qinghe's words do not mention the Holy Spirit Sect in any way, but they refer to the Holy Spirit Sect in every other way.

If that description isn't the Holy Spirit Cult scroll that Ning Rongrong mentioned, then what is it?

But we cannot make a move yet.

just in case……

What if?

Ning Fengzhi still didn't want to believe that Xue Qinghe and the Holy Spirit Cult would be involved.

All three of them, who couldn't see the scroll, reacted in this way.

Ning Rongrong, who had seen the scroll with her own eyes, was even more horrified.

Although Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi stopped Chen Xin.

However, they clearly did not consider Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's martial spirit materialized, and the fourth layer of the tower shone brightly. The next second, a huge pagoda appeared above Lu Ma's head.

An invisible air blade hurtled downwards, aiming to slash the Earth Horse.

Ning Fengzhi came to his senses and saw this scene. He quickly tried to step forward to prevent the situation from escalating further.

but--

Once again, the situation took him by surprise.

The air blade that could have damaged the titled Douluo Huyan Zhen seemed to have been deflected by something a second before it landed on Xue Qinghe.

"Such a strong reaction."

Lu Ma clicked his tongue in amazement, clearly not expecting Ning Rongrong to take action directly.

Soul skills.
