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

He shook his head violently, intending to cross the middle of the wild path to the other side, when he saw fresh bloodstains on the grass.

Chapter 16 The Three-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider

Bloodstains?!

Flanders sensed something was wrong. To avoid interference from others, he deliberately chose this time.

At this time, there should only be the three of them from their academy in the Star Dou Great Forest! And since Oscar walked to the right, it's quite obvious whose bloodstain it is.

The bloodstains were still fresh, so Ning Rongrong must have left not long ago.

Before he could even think about why Ning Rongrong would leave bloodstains in this place where thousand-year-old soul beasts roam, Flander broke out in a cold sweat and began searching his surroundings for any traces Ning Rongrong had left behind.

Then he saw an incredible scene—

A giant spider lay on the ground, and upon closer inspection, one could even discern a human face on its abdomen.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider, a three-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider!

Flanders felt a chill on his neck.

If it were an ordinary soul beast that had just entered its thousand-year cycle, Flander would be quite confident that Ning Rongrong could handle it, but this human-faced demon spider had exceeded his expectations, not to mention that it was three thousand years old!

What are the characteristics of the human-faced spider? It is fast, venomous, and incredibly strong.

The speed alone was enough to satisfy Ning Rongrong, not to mention the other two characteristics.

But looking at the fallen human-faced spider, Flander was somewhat confused.

The scene gradually appeared in his mind: Ning Rongrong encountered the human-faced spider, was seriously injured, and then killed it.

The process... the process is a problem. In Flander's understanding, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not have a weapon capable of killing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, although the possibility that such a thing exists cannot be ruled out.

But now it's clearly not a matter of the process. Flander is more worried about Ning Rongrong's injury. If she is seriously injured, Shrek Academy may not be able to hold classes for almost a month.

So he began searching in eight directions.

Ning Rongrong was wandering around the mixed zone, and she actually found several treasure chests there with a surprisingly high drop rate. In just a short while, she found three treasure chests, yielding three experience potions and one Holy Soul Coin.

Then, she saw a familiar figure approaching from afar; it was Flander.

What's Flander doing here? Can NPCs enter dungeons too?

Lu Ma was a little confused, but he quickly understood.

Just as Chenxin led her out of the instance, Flander must have come to announce the end of the instance.

"Dean, you wanted to see me?"

A sweet voice came from Ning Rongrong's mouth, and she smiled. After this, Flander felt like a spring breeze was blowing on his face.

Of course, this was mainly because Ning Rongrong hadn't suffered any serious injuries.

There were no signs of a fight.

However, Flander had no time to let Ning Rongrong find another soul beast. He simply coughed twice and then asked in a seasoned manner:

"Rongrong, did you encounter any difficulties on your way?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her clear eyes and asked innocently:

"Why do you say that?"

"I just saw a dead human-faced spider..."

"Oh, I killed him."

"I see... um?"

Flander's eyes widened. Although he had some suspicions beforehand, he still found it hard to believe that Ning Rongrong, who was almost completely unharmed, had said those words herself.

"You killed him, what methods did you use..."

He was a little scared. Now that he thought about it, if the other party really used a valuable weapon from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was afraid he would go bankrupt.

"Use your martial spirit."

Ning Rongrong smiled, a smile that was innocent, pure, and radiant.

"That's good, but wait, a martial spirit!?"

Flander's voice rose several notches. He still couldn't figure out what was going on with Ning Rongrong's martial soul.

Could it be twin martial souls?

No, I've never heard of it.

"Dean, this is a secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Okay, I understand. I won't ask."

Flander forced himself to remain calm. Since the other party was alright and didn't want him to know, what reason did he have to ask?

"Rongrong, I think you've done a great job with your training. You should go back to the academy now."

"Yes, Dean."

Ning Rongrong nodded. After a short cutscene, she successfully appeared at Shrek Academy.

The map flashed a few times, and when I clicked on it, I found that the teleportation points between Shrek Academy and Star Dou Great Forest had been opened.

Flander also returned to the academy. Although he felt like he had forgotten something, he thought again that Ning Rongrong was indeed more important, so he headed towards Zhao Wuji's residence.

After last night, Zhao Wuji recuperated at his residence.

"Old Zhao, are you awake yet?"

Flanders knocked on the door symbolically, then kicked it open.

Zhao Wuji had just sat up when he saw Flander's rude behavior and wanted to curse, but the pain in his facial muscles made him stop.

"what's up?"

He said weakly.

"What do you think of Ning Rongrong? Today I took her to the Star Dou Great Forest for support-type Soul Master training, guess what?"

"What else could a little princess do but cooperate diligently and survive the attacks of a hundred-year-old soul beast?"

Zhao Wuji used all his strength to come up with this answer.

He did know that Ning Rongrong had a technique of using someone else's strength against them, but this technique obviously had several flaws.

First, it itself will still be vulnerable to attack;

Second, the number of times it can be used is limited.

Given these two shortcomings, Zhao Wuji believed that Ning Rongrong could not truly defeat her opponent.

“No, no, no.” Flander chuckled mischievously and shook his head. “She killed a human-faced spider!”

"A human-faced spider demon? How could you let her come into contact with something like that without keeping an eye on her?"

Zhao Wuji sat up straight immediately, then howled in pain.

"Alas, you can't say that. This was all part of my plan." Flander blushed.

"Hundreds of years?"

Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Three thousand years."

"How many?"

Zhao Wuji sat up straight again.

It's important to understand that, generally speaking, a Soul Master's third Soul Ring is unlikely to be older than around 1800 years. This means that a Soul Master's skill level at the time of acquiring a Soul Ring is generally no higher than 1800 years. To defeat a 3000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider is truly remarkable.

"Then...why did she choose the Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

Zhao Wuji asked this question, which stumped Flanders.

yeah why?

If Ning Rongrong had that kind of strength, she could simply choose a suitable soul beast for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and hunt it down to obtain a soul ring. At most, it would just be far from the maximum age limit of the soul ring...

Wait, what spirit ring did Ning Rongrong choose?

Flander finally realized what he had forgotten: he had forgotten that Ning Rongrong was level 30 and that one of the main purposes of his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was to obtain a spirit ring.

So what spirit ring did she choose?

Flander couldn't figure it out, but reason told him that Ning Rongrong had absorbed the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"There must be a deeper meaning behind this from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

After taking a few deep breaths, Flander spoke slowly.

At this moment, after seeking Flander's help for a long time without success, Oscar finally exhausted the Wind Wolf's strength and successfully turned the tables.

Seeing the yellow spirit ring appearing above the Wind Wolf's head, Oscar felt a pang of pity. He had worked so hard to kill the spirit ring, and now it was being wasted.

But having put in so much effort, I should at least get Flander to give me a purple soul ring when I reach level 30.

"Pooh!"

He spat and walked towards the exit of the Starry Sky Forest.

Chapter 17 The Great Soul Arena, Outside

Oscar returned to the Academy at noon.

He was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the ground as soon as he entered the college area, remaining motionless.

Not far away, Ning Rongrong and several girls were laughing and joking, while Tang San and several boys were playing around.

Ah, how wonderful! But why did I suffer so much in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Oscar was helpless.

What kind of spirit ring did Rongrong obtain? Based on his understanding of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it should be a spirit power type.

Just as Oscar was about to call Ning Rongrong for help, he felt dizzy and fell asleep.
