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

Release a patch!

When Sima Xi heard these words, he began to wonder if the game company was crazy. Couldn't they have played it themselves first?

"It's just a test, after all, which is understandable. That's one issue, but then what?"

"I grit my teeth," Sima Xi said, while also looking forward to other questions in the game that might surprise her.

"Its combat is boring. My recent battles have all ended with a blood-for-blood exchange. It's like putting on heavy armor and turning an action game into a turn-based game."

"Have you changed jobs? Maybe this is your problem, or maybe it was set up this way in the early stages to reduce the difficulty."

Although Sima Xi's gaming time is not as long as Lu Ma's, she has played just as many games, making her a seasoned player.

"So here's the problem: it only offers one support class, and the 'blood for blood' skill is still a quest reward. As for the later stages, I'm really looking forward to it, but that's the later stages after all."

"What is this support class?"

"Ning Rongrong".

"Oh, you mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, right? I really can't think of how to clear the land by myself with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"No, it's Ning Rongrong."

"You said you're controlling a specific character, and that character is Ning Rongrong?"

Sima Xi was in a daze for a while before uttering this sentence.

"Did you recognize it yourself, or did it explicitly label it for you?"

"All."

Chapter 30 Titan Ape

Not far from the Starry Sky Forest, in a hunter's village, there is an inn.

In front of Ning Rongrong, her companions were already fighting with the people from Canghui Academy, while she sat in the back watching, skillfully using her first two soul skills. Compared to the other two soul skills, these two were easier to use and were sufficient to deal with these people.

With the massive increase in power, Shrek Academy and its members overwhelmingly defeated the Canghui Academy members.

Everyone was excited, even Zhao Wuji was happy about his student's strength.

Except for Ning Rongrong.

Yesterday was supposed to be a wonderful day, it would have been even better if I hadn't run into Huo Shengsheng.

Under the weight of the words "The Holy Spirit Cult has its eye on you," Ning Rongrong remained vigilant throughout her journey that day. However, she had yet to discover any trace of the Holy Spirit Cult, and she was already exhausted.

"Since Teacher Zhao is leading the team this time, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Ning Rongrong sighed.

Her companions had arrived at her side, marveling at her enhanced support abilities. This was to be expected, given that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a top-tier support martial soul, not to mention her exceptional talent.

On the third day after regaining control of their bodies, the group entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long after entering the forest, the group spotted a red figure. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was a crested serpent.

Thinking that this spirit beast was perfect for Oscar, the group began their hunt.

The snake was very fast; even Zhu Zhuqing, who was amplified by Ning Rongrong's second soul skill, could barely keep up with its speed.

Zhu Zhuqing and the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had already taken to the sky, and Dai Mubai, seeing the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent about to use its skill, also rushed into the sky. Ning Rongrong looked at the three figures under the clear sky, rubbed her eyes, and wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to see black aura, the kind of black aura unique to evil soul masters...

"Rongrong, watch out!"

"Huh? Me?"

Zhu Zhuqing shouted, pulling Ning Rongrong back to reality.

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, but then she realized that the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, which had been preparing to attack Zhu Zhuqing, had changed its direction and was now aiming at her!

At the same time, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent took advantage of the two's inattention and rushed directly towards Ning Rongrong.

It was very fast. The others had been focusing their attention on the air, and Zhao Wuji was the one furthest from Ning Rongrong. Just as the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's attack was about to arrive, Ning Rongrong's hand moved instinctively.

Ning Rongrong used her third soul skill, Poison Attribute Amplification, to boost her own power. Then, she used her first soul skill after the reversal. A purple barrier appeared in front of Ning Rongrong, blocking the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's smoke. The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent crashed directly into the barrier and fell to the ground.

Ning Rongrong was still in a daze. Her actions just now weren't intentional; they seemed more like a bodily instinct.

"It's a physical instinct honed from training that night..."

That day at the Grand Soul Arena, she activated her Reversal Soul Skill on the arena just before the attack landed. She remembered hearing the phrase "this will maximize damage" at that moment. She used it so much that night that her body developed an instinct to activate her Soul Skill at the last second before taking damage, without even needing to utter a spell.

The purple light on the first floor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was still getting stronger, shining on the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, and a purple soul ring appeared on the serpent's head.

Ning Rongrong then remembered that the trapped beast had another function: it could directly suppress soul beasts. The erudite Ning Rongrong also recalled that only the person who gave the soul beast its final gift could absorb the soul ring; therefore, only she could absorb this soul ring.

But she doesn't need a spirit ring. This thousand-year spirit ring is a waste.

The group rushed to Ning Rongrong's side, looked at the spirit ring, and remained silent for a long time.

"It's not my fault, it just crashed into me and died." Ning Rongrong looked completely innocent. She forgot the effect of her own soul skill; how could that be her fault? What kind of kind person hunts soul beasts all day long?

Everyone's gaze shifted between Ning Rongrong, the spirit ring, and Oscar, until Oscar finally sighed and brought it all to an end.

Xiao Wu looked a little embarrassed, but ultimately said nothing. She had witnessed the crested serpent crash into Ning Rongrong and kill itself.

"Forget it, I guess I just don't have the right affinity with this soul beast. Let's try another one."

Zhao Wuji nodded, and Tang San, though somewhat reluctant, nodded helplessly as well.

After everyone left, the Dragon God and Snake Goddess appeared beside the corpse of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake.

"This Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is even better than the one from yesterday, but unfortunately it has already absorbed a spirit ring."

The snake woman shook her head, somewhat regretfully.

"Why didn't we notice this snake before? And its behavior is very strange. You just saw it fighting with a little girl in the sky, so why did it suddenly change its target?"

"You mean, this snake is being manipulated?" The old snake woman's voice was full of questions. "But who has that kind of ability?"

Long Gong looked around and said, "I don't know, but there are always people who can do it. I once... participated in a special operation to wipe out a group of people whom the Spirit Hall called Evil Soul Masters. Their methods were bizarre and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Something bad is going to happen in this forest. Let's take Yi Ran away."

Just then, the Dragon Lord's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression as he looked toward the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

"How did they get alerted too?"

-

Deeper into the Starry Sky Forest.

Ning Rongrong was protected by Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun. She thought the earlier black aura was just a hallucination due to her weakened state. She understood why the three were protecting her; if another soul beast were to collide with her, it would require another round of searching.

After Ning Rongrong was protected, things went smoothly. Another Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent appeared and was severely injured by the combined efforts of the group. Oscar also absorbed a spirit ring.

Tang San also broke through to level 30 after the battle, and the group changed their plan to help Tang San obtain a spirit ring before returning to Shrek Academy.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

Just as Oscar was trying out his soul skill, the earth shook violently, and a huge soul beast rose from the ground and appeared in front of everyone.

"This is... a Titan ape that is at least ten thousand years old!"

Tang San exclaimed in surprise, while Zhao Wuji's face turned extremely ugly.

This Titan Ape should be in the core area, how did it end up here? There aren't even many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to be seen here!

Zhao Wuji has already activated his Martial Soul True Form.

"Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we will leave immediately!"

The Titan Giant Ape is an extremely powerful being that can defeat other ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in a hundred years. Zhao Wuji believes that he cannot fight against it. If he can avoid the battle, that would be the best outcome.

However, the Titan Ape completely ignored Zhao Wuji's words, and with just one step, it closed the distance between itself and the Shrek group. Then, it reached out and grabbed at them.

"Damn it, Dai Mubai, you take them and leave first, I'll stop him!"

Zhao Wuji shouted and used four soul skills at the same time.

Gravity amplification, gravity compression, Immovable King Body, Mighty Vajra Palm!

A set of soul skills was launched at the Titan Giant Ape's palm. Zhao Wuji was not confident in fighting against an entire Titan Giant Ape, so he could only hope to slow down the pace and buy his students a chance to survive.

Chapter 31 Azure Bull Python

With a punch and a palm strike, Zhao Wuji coughed up blood on the spot, clearly unable to hold on for long.

Dai Mubai looked at it, turned around and said:

"Tang San, you cover everyone's escape, I'll go help."

Then he turned around and rushed forward.

Tang San naturally wouldn't leave, and the others didn't even consider leaving; they all rushed forward to attack the Titan Giant Ape.

Zhao Wuji looked at the people around him and increased his strength even more.

Ning Rongrong stood there, at a loss, feeling that she must still be dreaming.

"Calm down, what would he do if it were him..."

Ning Rongrong whispered a pep talk to herself.

Using a trapped beast? No, a trapped beast, in the end, still has to endure some damage, which it can't withstand.

Turn and run? Could you even escape? What good would going back to school do? Would it confirm that you're a coward?

Calling upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? She simply doesn't have the corresponding item!

"call……"

Ning Rongrong exhaled, and the power boost, speed boost, and poison attribute boost were applied to the seven people.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong felt her soul power rapidly draining away, but she gritted her teeth.

"If only I could use the blue bottle, my soul power would be restored every time I drank from it..."

She murmured to herself, her mental energy probing into the spatial soul tool, but the blue bottle remained locked and could not be used by her at all.

All I could do was curse, "Damn it."

With the amplification of three levels, Zhao Wuji felt his strength greatly increased.

"As expected of the number one support martial soul in the world."
