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

My health is currently at 70%, and my clothes are slightly dirty.

The bandages had to be removed, revealing the uninjured skin underneath.

Flander adjusted his glasses, closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a long while.

This is not a dream.

So, Ning Rongrong's crushing 1v6 victory over the other 6 people is real?

Can a support-type Soul Master really achieve this level?

Ning Rongrong was able to reach this level simply by applying speed and poison attribute boosts to herself?

She's only 12 years old!

Flander turned his head and looked at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was even more shocked than Flander; his jaw was still agape.

He was just wondering what his chances of winning would be if he were to face Ning Rongrong.

The final conclusion was simply that he would win.

Of course, he didn't include Ning Rongrong's Eight Spider Lances and her fourth soul skill, since Ning Rongrong had never shown these two things to them.

If the dean and vice dean were like this, the three teachers were even more drenched in sweat.

Their strength was no match for Zhao Wuji's, and after witnessing the battle just now, they began to doubt their very existence.

The master, ironically, was the most normal one among them. He was too weak to grasp the deeper implications of what had just happened.

His understanding of the matter remained superficial, namely that Ning Rongrong could handle six people.

On the Shrek Seven Devils' side, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing chatted and laughed, not taking the competition to heart.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both knew more or less that Ning Rongrong had her own secrets. They might feel inferior if they lost, but they would never show it on their faces.

The atmosphere on Tang San's side was rather tense. However, the main problem was that Tang San himself was not performing well. After this battle, he saw even less hope of defeating Ning Rongrong, and his spirits were low.

The other three had experienced a thoroughly enjoyable battle and were feeling quite comfortable.

Chapter 63: After defeating Yu Xiaogang, the Crouching Dragon Emerges from the Mountain! (Two Chapters Combined)

"Rongrong is already the most capable among us!"

Instead of feeling sad or resentful about being defeated by Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai appeared quite excited. He was genuinely happy that Shrek Academy had produced such a super monster, and that his companion was also a super monster.

After Dai Mubai shouted this, the atmosphere among the Shrek Seven Devils reached a climax. Although Tang San felt very uncomfortable, he could only go along with the other six and pretend to be very happy.

The teachers belatedly realized that such a powerful monster belonged to their Shrek Academy! So they started celebrating. Flander patted the master on the shoulder, leaned down and said something to him, something like, "The rest is up to you."

Now, only Master and the seven Shrek students remain on this playground.

The master's face darkened, and he trembled with anger.

While testing Ning Rongrong's strength was one part of the reason he arranged this 1v6 match, his main purpose was to see Ning Rongrong suffer a setback.

According to his theory, no matter how extraordinary Ning Rongrong was, she was still just a support-type Soul Master. She would never be able to defeat six people at once. Little did he know that Ning Rongrong was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

This has backfired spectacularly. Not only did they fail to uncover Ning Rongrong's full strength, but they also made her famous overnight.

Judging from their reactions, they had no idea Ning Rongrong was so strong. Although it was he who suggested that Ning Rongrong fight six people at once, the others didn't seem to think that it was a result of his genuine skill and expertise.

And all of this...

The master's fierce gaze shifted to Tang San.

If Tang San had fought back and killed Ning Rongrong, things might not have turned out this way. As Tang San's teacher, my standing in everyone's eyes would have been much higher. But now, it's all ruined!

Calm down, Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang, who had taken a few steps toward Tang San, suddenly stopped and spoke to himself. He couldn't impulsively question Tang San now; that would only further damage his already poor reputation, unless... unless he could demonstrate his true abilities! As long as he pointed out their shortcomings in the battle commentary, he would surely be admired by everyone!

Thinking it over, he coughed a few times, straightened his face, glanced at the seven Shrek students who were still celebrating, and said sternly:

"Enough! Look at the state you're in!"

The laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly, and they all looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"To play like this during a training session is simply absurd!"

The master's gaze swept over everyone, finally focusing on Dai Mubai, and he continued:

"Let's start with you, Dai Mubai. What do you think is the reason you can't beat Ning Rongrong?"

Dai Mubai looked at the master, his eyes darting around, and said, "I was too reckless. I didn't think about how to counter the opponent's strategy of using their strength against them."

The master frowned. Those words sounded familiar. Ah, yes, that was something he had said before. So he said, "Let's try another one. This is what I told you, it doesn't count. Do you have any more questions?"

Dai Mubai lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then raised his head again: "I don't know, please tell me, Master."

His eyes lit up with anticipation; he hoped the master would point out something that would help him improve.

The master spoke calmly: "Your strength is not strong enough. As a power-attack type Soul Master, it's somewhat difficult for you to judge when your opponent will use which move. However, if your strength were strong enough, I don't believe your opponent could borrow it!"

After he finished speaking, several black lines appeared on Dai Mubai's face.

What difference does it make whether I said it or not?

It's like someone telling you that if you want to increase your soul power, you have to cultivate diligently. Everyone knows that, so why does he need to tell you?

The master's gaze shifted to the next person.

"Zhu Zhuqing, where is your speed advantage? You didn't even manage to brush against Ning Rongrong's clothes, did you?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the master, then at Ning Rongrong, and finally lowered her head.

The master couldn't see Zhu Zhuqing's expression. He saw Zhu Zhuqing staring at Ning Rongrong and assumed that Zhu Zhuqing was reflecting on her actions. He thought to himself that today's reprimand had gone so smoothly, and he moved on to his next target with satisfaction.

"Xiao Wu, your third soul skill is teleportation, right? It's a pity that the accuracy isn't high enough. It's not right that such a soul skill could be dodged."

Xiao Wu looked up at the master with a questioning expression, as if to say, "If you're so good, then you do it."

Tang San was about to step forward to explain, but was glared at by the master.

Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San, silently shook her head, and was somewhat disappointed in him.

"And you, mistress. As my most outstanding student, where is your performance? How come your agility has weakened while I was away?"

Hearing the master criticize him as well, Tang San had no way to express his bitterness, but he couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had really become weaker, and finally he lowered his head.

Seeing Tang San's current state, the master didn't bother to speak. He turned and directly called out two names: "Ma Hongjun and Oscar! Did you think you were safe just because you flew into the sky? Your attacks were completely harmless, and you were easily hit by the rebound and fell to the ground. How foolish!"

Ma Hongjun was furious and was about to punch this "master" when Oscar stopped him.

Oscar whispered, "Fatty, it seems like we really have a problem this time."

The next second, the master singled out Oscar for criticism: "Oscar, what are you muttering about? In your group, you made more mistakes! If you were stronger and flew faster, wouldn't you have been able to dodge the attack?"

Ma Hongjun was stunned, and so was Oscar.

Ma Hongjun turned his head slightly, his face beaming with an undisguised smile.

Oscar lowered his hand, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists.

The master was very satisfied with the six people's reaction and continued, "The six of you, facing a support-type Soul Master, not only failed to force out her full strength, but were also toyed with and defeated one by one. Is this the level of Shrek Academy monsters? You're a complete mess! You've disgraced the academy!"

The master spoke, his gaze falling on Ning Rongrong, who hadn't yet been criticized. Looking at Ning Rongrong's repulsive face, he took a deep breath, his tone unusually serious:

"Ning Rongrong, among the group, you are the worst. Why were your attack methods so limited throughout the entire process? Don't you have any other attack methods besides using someone else's force against them?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the others turned strange.

Others: Huh?

Ning Rongrong immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "Do you think a support-type Soul Master like me needs more offensive methods?"

“Since you are a support-type Soul Master, you should be proficient in support skills, not thinking about learning some attack skills.” Grandmaster was not to be outdone.

"According to you, a Soul Master specializing in offensive attacks should be proficient in attacking, rather than thinking about buffing themselves, right?" Ning Rongrong continued to ask.

"How can this be the same? Offensive Soul Masters can buff themselves to attack more effectively."

"Support-type Soul Masters need survival skills to better provide support!"

"Shut up!" Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, the master mustered his courage and shouted.

To prevent Ning Rongrong from interrupting again, this time he wasn't speaking to Ning Rongrong alone, but to the entire group:

"This training session has fully exposed your fatal weaknesses. Underestimating your opponents, arrogance, poor teamwork, rigid tactics, and misuse of your own abilities! Your performance today is completely unworthy of the name 'monster'! Everyone, you will all be punished now. Run forward, without using your soul power, from the academy to Soto City and back. I require you to complete ten round trips. You will eat only after you finish. Ning Rongrong, your mistake was the most serious, so you will run twelve round trips. Move out immediately, begin."

He closed his eyes, deciding to enjoy some fresh air. He was completely unaware that the atmosphere on the playground had suddenly changed.

After hearing the master's words, Tang San hung his head dejectedly and walked towards the academy gate.

After walking for a while, he suddenly turned around.

On this stretch of road, there was only the sound of his own footsteps.

Looking back, the other six people were still standing in the same spot.

Ning Rongrong pointed at herself, looking like she was "laughing in anger".

Zhu Zhuqing was ready to attack. If Ning Rongrong hadn't been holding her back with her other hand, she probably would have already rushed into Yu Xiaogang's face.

The other four also showed aggression to varying degrees.

What... happened?

Tang San was puzzled.

What Tang San didn't know was that just now, the group had reached a consensus:

The master had no real talent or learning.

If the final words spoken to Ning Rongrong are praise, then they can disregard the master's evaluation of them. Even if it has no value, they can understand it as a result of Ning Rongrong's overwhelming strength, since Ning Rongrong is indeed too strong.

However, the master's evaluation of Ning Rongrong was confused from the very beginning.

The fact that Ning Rongrong wasn't mentioned again further convinced them that this "master" was just a theorist who only knew how to talk the talk. Everything he learned and taught was theoretical, detached from the realities of combat. They didn't need someone like that.

They had sensed something was wrong with the master before; it seemed that he never treated anyone other than Tang San as a human being, never giving them a kind look.

Looking at it now, this Yu Xiaogang is just being unreasonable and sophistry. He only makes assumptions and sophistry when he does things and makes comments. Such a person is not worthy of staying at Shrek Academy to teach them, and they do not believe that they can make any progress under Yu Xiaogang's guidance.

Previously, they were only reluctant to speak ill of the master out of respect for Flander. In the end, what right did a mere level 29 Soul Master have to point fingers at them? What right did he have to bully their companions?
