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

-

"I do not believe."

Hearing those familiar words, Liu Jiayi's fighting spirit was reignited.

"Okay, then I'll prove it to you. Let me make this clear first, you gave up this opportunity yourself, so don't come looking for me."

Ning Rongrong noticed a subtle change in the other person's expression and was somewhat puzzled.

She actually wanted to see how the other person would react when they found out she was a support-type Soul Master; she hadn't had enough fun yet.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed.

However, she didn't think much of it and got into a fighting stance.

"The match begins!"

Liu Jia revealed his martial soul, which was a plant-based martial soul that was entirely black, covered with sharp thorns, and had a slightly fishy smell.

Tang San recognized the martial soul from the audience at a glance.

"Ghost Vine!"

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. As the one who acquired the second spirit ring, he certainly knew what the Ghost Vine looked like.

I just didn't expect to encounter the holder of the Ghost Vine Martial Soul so soon.

He decided to watch the match attentively, learn the techniques for using the Ghost Vine Martial Soul, and then apply them to his own Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

"Ghost Vine, Little San, what is that? Is it very powerful?"

Xiao Wu looked on with curiosity.

“Of course, the Ghost Vine not only possesses potent poison, but also the ability to parasitize.” Tang San nodded. “My second spirit ring came from the Ghost Vine.”

"Rongrong..."

Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, her fists clenching involuntarily.

"Can Rongrong, a level 33 support-type Soul Master, win against a level 38 control-type Battle Soul Master?"

Oscar, standing to the side, also seemed somewhat worried.

"It's difficult." Tang San concluded in a flash. "Referring to my Blue Silver Grass, the Ghost Vine should also have these weaknesses. First, it only exerts its maximum effect upon contact with the target, and Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, making her easy to contact; second, it's afraid of fire, and Rongrong obviously can't use fire; third, it consumes a lot of Soul Power, but as long as it's dealt with quickly, this isn't a problem. In general, Rongrong probably can't win. Fortunately, this is just a game of strategy, and there's no danger to her life... Eh? What did Rongrong just report?"

He had been so preoccupied with himself that he had only just remembered that Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai had registered at a different time, and he didn't know what they had registered for. Combined with the vague description he had heard earlier of "either death or serious injury," he was suddenly unsure.

“I know my limits when it comes to strategic competition,” Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment, then added, “However, unexpected things can happen in a competition.”

"That won't do, we have to pull Rongrong up."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing became anxious and immediately wanted to go down, but was stopped by Flander.

"What's the rush? In my opinion, Ning Rongrong may not necessarily lose, and with me, a Soul Saint, she won't die."

Flanders had his own considerations.

Even if the Ghost Vine is poisonous, is it as poisonous as the Human-Faced Demon Spider? Since Ning Rongrong can deal with the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Ghost Vine is naturally no problem for her.

However, he felt a vague unease in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing calmed down, though her hands continued to tremble. The others, hearing Flander say that Ning Rongrong might not necessarily lose, also became somewhat curious.

Flander is the person who knows Ning Rongrong's strength the most right now. Even he said so. Could it be that this support-type Ning Rongrong really has some special move?

During their discussion, Liu Jiayi, disregarding the fact that Ning Rongrong was a little girl, preemptively made the first move.

He closed in on Ning Rongrong in an instant, and the ghost vines in his hand began to grow, about to entangle Ning Rongrong.

"Little girl, don't blame me for not reminding you, my first soul skill is Entanglement."

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was still glowing, but she hadn't used a single soul skill yet. She just kept jumping and dodging, and then she felt more and more that her physical fitness level was too low.

She couldn't jump over it; her right foot was still entangled.

So he quickly amplified his power and managed to break free.

Chapter 20: The Value of Immune Toxicity

Liu Jia was startled, his expression turning serious.

I thought the opponent wouldn't be able to escape, so I didn't use my second soul skill.

But looking at it this way, the opponent's strength is indeed considerable.

"Haha, I underestimated her." Liu Jia laughed, changing the shape of the vines in his hand, and rushed towards Ning Rongrong again.

This time, he was even faster. Although Ning Rongrong dodged him a few times, he finally managed to entangle her before she could jump.

From her ankles, the vines wrapped around her knees, and then other vines came over and wrapped around her hands as well.

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was trapped and struggling, Liu Jia smiled.

"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!"

"parasitic!"

Tang San suddenly stood up, startling everyone else.

"Why are his soul skills so similar to mine? Do all plant-type martial souls use this kind of attack method?"

He couldn't help but wonder.

"Rongrong!"

Looking at Ning Rongrong's struggling expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if the pain was her own, even though Ning Rongrong was injured.

The entire room fell silent. The situation now seemed ripe for judgment.

She was just a little girl after all, and there was no inside story involved...

Ultimately, she shouldn't have signed up for the one-on-one competition.

This is the sentiment of countless people present.

Logically speaking, Liu Jiayi should have stopped, and even Liu Jiayi himself felt that way.

“You’ve already lost,” he said to the girl in front of him.

"Wait, you haven't attacked yet!"

Ning Rongrong gave a playful smile, which piqued Liu Jiayi's interest.

"Alright, I respect your decision. Third Soul Skill, Poisonous Thorn Piercing the Heart!"

A gigantic, sharp thorn materialized from the ghost vine directly in front of Ning Rongrong, its tip aimed directly at her heart.

"Nonsense!" Dai Mubai stood up abruptly, his teeth itching. "This is a competition, how can you use such a soul skill? Dean, you need to do something about this!"

Flander somehow produced a cup of tea, took a few sips, and said, "Don't rush, Ning Rongrong hasn't admitted defeat yet, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, it's foolish not to use your soul skills."

He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Perhaps this would allow him to see Ning Rongrong's methods for dealing with the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The spikes continued to grow, gradually filling Ning Rongrong's field of vision.

The playful expression on Ning Rongrong's face gradually faded, replaced by terror. She tried to struggle, but couldn't move at all.

"Oh no, something bad is about to happen."

"This girl is really something. We clearly gave her a chance to surrender, why didn't she listen?"

Liu Jia couldn't see Ning Rongrong's condition, but seeing that the spikes were almost big enough, he launched them forward.

The spikes were getting closer and closer to Ning Rongrong, and were about to tear her clothes—

Ning Rongrong smiled.

"Hehe, I was scared, I was just kidding."

The third soul skill was activated, and the poison attribute amplification spread throughout her body. Not only did the parasitic toxins of the ghost vines on her body disappear, but even the ghost vines that had been binding her were poisoned a few times and loosened their restraints.

Immediately following up with her second soul skill, Ning Rongrong retreated and then charged towards the Ghost Vine Spikes.

Finally, there's the first soul skill.

Of course, it's the first soul skill of the reversal.

A trapped beast, it launches.

In an instant, Ning Rongrong felt a sharp pain in her palm. Her health points had dropped considerably, but were still within an acceptable range. She ultimately snatched the spike, which then flew towards Liu Jiayi in a different direction. The spike was coated with a layer of green light, which was Ning Rongrong's third soul skill, the poison attribute amplification, taking effect.

Although the power boost cannot boost the trapped beast, the third soul skill can. In this way, the opponent will suffer 96% of the soul skill damage, while you will only suffer 40%. In the long run, you will definitely win against opponents of the same level.

Liu Jia watched as Ning Rongrong easily escaped and returned the thorn, momentarily forgetting to dodge. He caught the poisonous thorn with both hands, the stinging pain spreading from his palms as the poison gradually permeated his entire body.

"Ugh!"

He moved backward, finally stopping, and pulled out the poisonous thorn and threw it aside.

After stopping the spread of the toxin, Liu Jia felt that his qi and blood had been greatly damaged.

In just one round, it was clear that he was the one who was more injured.

"puff!"

He couldn't hold it in and coughed up blood.

"Oh? After one round of fighting, our Ning Rongrong only suffered minor injuries, while Liu Jiayi seems to be seriously injured! Ning Rongrong has the advantage in this round!"

The audience erupted in cheers once again.

"Stimulate!"

"For a support-type Soul Master to achieve this level is truly an eye-opener!"

"Does anyone know what she called that move of using someone else's force against them?"

"Liu Jiayi, you're no match for him. Surrender!"

Meanwhile, everyone at Shrek Academy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"With that move, Ning Rongrong only suffered less than half the damage, while her opponent took almost all of it. Brilliant!"

Flanders exclaimed in admiration.

"Did you use the same tactic when dealing with Teacher Zhao?"
