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

I happened to see this scene when I came back, which was within my expectations.

Of course, he only saw the two figures; he knew nothing about the Holy God incident.

Go to bed, and after an animation, the next morning arrives.

-

Ning Rongrong woke up quite early, but Zhu Zhu woke up even earlier.

Rather, she didn't sleep a wink all night, spending the entire time wondering why her roommate had sneaked out and why she had returned looking so excited. What had she been through outside?

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand it. Having escaped from the Star Luo Empire, she knew absolutely nothing about anything other than cultivation.

So he simply stopped thinking about it and started cultivating.

After a while, Ning Rongrong also woke up. She got out of bed skillfully, stared at Xiao Wu for a while, and then quietly left.

Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts were thus disrupted.

Why are you staring at her and not at me?

She couldn't understand why her cultivation speed was accelerating; only in this way could she find peace amidst her busy schedule.

-

As soon as he stepped outside, Lu Ma noticed a middle-aged man wearing square-framed glasses.

The man was practically blocking the doorway, making him hard to miss.

"Ning Rongrong, let me introduce myself. I am Flander, the dean of this academy, a level 78 Soul Saint."

Ning Rongrong looked the person in front of her up and down, then nodded. He looked similar to the Flander she remembered; he must be the real deal.

"Dean, is there something you need from me?"

"That's right, you're already level 30, and you're missing a soul beast, right?"

Ning Rongrong nodded hesitantly.

“Logically, students in our academy should train together for a period of time before hunting soul beasts together to improve their teamwork. However, that takes too long. Now that you have enrolled, I plan to let you hunt soul beasts on your own first.”

Chapter 14: I'm a support-type character, hunting soul beasts on my own?

"Me? Alone?"

Ning Rongrong pointed to herself.

Although she possesses the Reversal Soul Skill "Beast Trapping," making her perfectly capable of hunting soul beasts under 2800 years old, isn't it a bit... too trusting of Flander to let a support-type soul master hunt soul beasts on her own?

"Yes... Oscar, come and listen too."

Oscar had just stepped out of the boys' dormitory not far away when Flander saw him and called him over, looking very unwilling.

"The most important thing for support-type Soul Masters is to have the ability to protect themselves. Only in this way can they assist their teammates. Hunting a Soul Beast is a good way to train your self-protection ability."

"Hunting spirit beasts? Dean, who wants to acquire a spirit ring?"

Oscar was stunned.

Flander gestured with his eyes to the spot next to Oscar.

"Doesn't our school not accept level 20 Soul Masters...?"

Oscar hesitated and made a presumptuous statement, only to be ruthlessly interrupted by Flander.

"She's level 30, one level higher than you."

"Oh! Dean, so you mean you want me to assist her in killing a soul beast?" Oscar was excited at the thought of hunting soul beasts with the girl he liked, but then he suddenly realized something. "Wait a minute, Dean, I remember Ning Rongrong is a support-type soul master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, isn't she?"

"exactly."

"How about we two support-type characters help each other hunt down spirit beasts?" Oscar came up with a reasonable answer.

Flander shook his head: "No, she hunts one soul beast by herself, while you hunt another one to set an example for the younger generation."

Ning Rongrong listened listlessly, but suddenly perked up and looked at Oscar.

Oscar was startled: "Dean, I'm only level 29! It's not time yet!"

"You've been stuck at this level for so long, you might break through soon and absorb a spirit ring."

"Me, hit it with a hammer? Do I even have a weapon, Dean?"

"Weapons are a minor matter; we'll figure it out ourselves."

Flander scratched his head. He hadn't considered these things. After all, he really didn't want the two of them to hunt soul beasts. He just wanted them to train their physical strength in the process.

The reason for the name "hunting and killing soul beasts" is...

Is that strict enough?

Moreover, he personally supervised the entire process and even found someone else to do the same thing. Isn't that very measured?

"Alright, then please lead us to the vicinity of the soul beast."

Ning Rongrong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and her words startled Oscar.

"No, you just agreed like that?"

Oscar said in disbelief.

Is it difficult?

Ning Rongrong turned her head, a look of disgust on her face.

"Very well, then, follow me."

-

After some time, the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest appeared.

"Once inside, you'll have four hours to survive, starting from when you encounter your first soul beast. I'll be keeping a close eye on you, and I'll intervene if you encounter any unavoidable danger."

Flander adjusted his glasses and continued, "Oscar, you go first. Ning Rongrong, you go in in ten minutes... okay?"

Flander turned to look at Ning Rongrong, only to find that Ning Rongrong had disappeared.

He adjusted his glasses again and flew into the air.

The forest on the left was shrouded in a white mist.

Oscar's figure is clearly visible in the forest on the right.

"Strange... Ning Rongrong must have entered the forest on the left. Why is that girl in such a hurry?"

Flander was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he decided to trust that Oscar was capable of protecting himself and turned to enter the forest on the left.

Meanwhile, Oscar was completely unaware that Flander wasn't watching him and was diligently searching for a soul beast of similar strength.

According to his understanding, Flanders would respond when he made the right choice.

As soon as he entered the forest, he encountered a Blue Silver Grass. Flander didn't respond, but Oscar accepted.

Blue Silver Grass is abundant in the forest and poses no threat, so from the perspective of training oneself, it is certainly not the kind of challenge Flander wants to take on.

Then he heard the sound of teeth grinding behind him.

He turned around and saw a wind wolf lurking behind him.

Oscar sensed a threat from the other party.

Oscar decides to run away.

"My goodness, Dean, isn't this spirit beast qualified? As a food-type, I'm already doing pretty well to have survived this wind wolf!"

Oscar shouted, but Flander did not respond.

At that moment, Flander, who was on his way to find Ning Rongrong on the left side of the forest, suddenly sneezed.

Why do I feel like someone is calling me?

Flander focused his mental energy on his ears, but still couldn't hear anything.

He shook his head.

"I must have misheard. Oscar should be able to handle this on his own. I need to think about which way to go."

Before Flander lay a Y-shaped fork in the road, seemingly indistinguishable at first glance. There was only one path leading into the forest, and Flander couldn't tell which one Ning Rongrong had taken. His soul skill, though enhancing his vision, seemed ineffective in the white mist, rendering him unable to see Ning Rongrong's location.

"Let's go to the left."

Flanders made a choice.

-

Not long ago.

When Luma watched the cutscene finish and regained control, he ignored what Flander said, saved his game, and headed straight for the misty forest to the left. To Luma, these NPCs were simply there to unlock new features.

The reason he chose the left side was simple: the first dungeon he encountered contained white mist, so he assumed there were valuable items inside. If it contained something like a Holy Spirit Scroll, he could level up immediately after absorbing a Soul Ring.

If it gets too dangerous, you can reload your save and go back to the entrance to choose again.

So he went in.

Like Flander, Ning Rongrong, who had only recently entered the area and had overlooked the Blue Silver Grass that had been there for over a decade, also arrived at this fork in the road. Ning Rongrong's choice wasn't left or right, but the wild path in the middle. The reason was simple: those well-maintained paths were obviously frequently used; what good things could they possibly contain?

The truly good things are always hidden away.

Unlike Oscar, and unlike Flander's ideas, she genuinely wanted to get a spirit ring this time.

The goal is to get as close to 2800 as possible; the species is not important.

Lu Ma believed that no matter what kind of soul beast he absorbed, the soul skill he would gain would definitely still be a soul power amplification.

The first soul skill of the reversal is very intelligent. From Lu Ma's perspective, the age of each soul beast is clearly marked above their heads.

Ink-marked snail, 27 years; Dark wasp, 233 years; Mutant ghost vine, 799 years; Golden-armored scale beast, 947 years.

As Ning Rongrong ventured deeper into the forest, the level of the spirit beasts she encountered increased. Now, she was surrounded by thousand-year-old spirit beasts, and those that had been eyeing her with predatory intent had hidden themselves away.

Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, 1437, 100% success rate in absorbing its spirit ring;

The Wind Wolf King, 1566, probability 100%;

The Pink Lady, 1879, 100% probability...
