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

Ning Rongrong was very distressed. Her precious time alone with the Holy God had been disturbed. She didn't know how many times in her life she would have such an opportunity.

Fortunately, the others remained quiet and did not disrupt the atmosphere.

She looked at her "true form," the one unseen by others, and said softly, "Are you satisfied? I think I understand what you mean, right?"

The "original body" did not respond to her. However, Ning Rongrong felt that the other party seemed to be nodding.

"Great."

She said softly.

Both sounds were drowned out by the sound of rain, and the others did not hear them.

The six of them ran around all night, and finally finished all their punishments before sunrise the next day.

The rain shows no signs of letting up; it looks like it will continue to rain all day.

And Tang San never came.

Xiao Wu was upset for a long time. She couldn't imagine that Tang San was such a cold and ruthless person.

The group returned to the entrance of Shrek Academy and put down their bamboo baskets. Because the weight carried by everyone except Ning Rongrong was manageable, they did not feel dizzy and instead relied on their willpower to walk to their dormitories before going to sleep.

Ning Rongrong seemed to be in exceptionally good physical condition; even carrying 45 kilograms of stones, she remained unaffected. However, she didn't return to her dormitory but continued walking towards Soto City.

Perhaps they're going to find the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

After thinking about it, the group fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 70 Tang Hao's Wrath, Second Strike Against Yu Xiaogang

Rain can wash away many things. But there are still many things that cannot be washed away.

Not long after everyone went back to sleep, Tang Hao returned to check on Tang San and found traces of a battle beyond 1v6 on Tang San's body. He followed the traces to the place where Tang San and Ning Rongrong fought the day before, intending to dispose of the body.

His thinking was simple: the marks suggested a life-or-death struggle. Since Tang San had survived, the other party must be dead. Although Tang San might have cleaned up the scene, it might not have been thorough enough; ultimately, he still needed Tang San's help.

Although he didn't care much about Tang San in a certain sense, Tang San was, after all, his and Ah Yin's son, and he could see Ah Yin's shadow in Tang San.

Moreover, ever since he learned that Tang San had awakened twin martial souls, he realized that Tang San was a genius, a genius who could replace him in destroying the Spirit Hall. He not only wanted to take revenge on the Spirit Hall himself, but also wanted to leave a way out for Tang San to grow stronger and then take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

He couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall himself, so he had his son fight for him.

If he couldn't avenge himself, he would make Tang San bear the burden of a blood feud.

He had lost Ah Yin, so he asked Tang San to revive her and fulfill his love.

Therefore, Tang San must not die so soon. Everything that harms Tang San is preventing him from taking revenge.

The signs of battle were still visible at the scene. He didn't see the other body, perhaps Tang San had disposed of it. This place was relatively remote; it was unlikely anyone else would come. Visibility was poor in the rain, and even if someone did come, they probably wouldn't realize a battle had taken place here.

The obvious signs of battle were undoubtedly left by Tang San. His first move was a killing blow. Either the opponent provoked Tang San first, or Tang San's goal was to kill the opponent.

But the person who fought Tang San... he couldn't find any clues about.

He rarely left Tang San like this, and he thought that nothing should happen since he would be gone for such a short time.

Tang San is studying at Shrek Academy, and especially since I even gave Flander Zhao Wuji some pointers, Tang San should be safe.

Furthermore, Tang San had not made any enemies at Shrek Academy. As for intentionally killing someone, that child is kind-hearted and would not do such a thing.

So, in this place, who exactly did Tang San fight?

He already had an answer in his heart. The other party approached Tang San not because of Tang San himself, but because of the person behind Tang San—himself, Tang Hao.

His whereabouts may have been exposed to the Spirit Hall. He didn't know exactly how he was exposed, but it seemed that was the case.

A surge of anger rose in Tang Hao's heart. That damned Spirit Hall had finally come after him, and even affected his son!

Thinking it over, he was about to set off for the Spirit Hall to demand an explanation, but then he discovered a hair.

The hair was stuck in the ground, and the rain didn't wash it away, but it was small enough that it wouldn't be easily noticed.

Intuition told Tang Hao that this hair was very likely pointing to the murderer, so he quickly picked it up and sensed the scent within it.

Then, he realized that the hair belonged to Yu Xiaogang.

"So it was you, brat! I warned you, but you wouldn't listen," Tang Hao said angrily. "Whether you lured Tang San to kill someone or you revealed my whereabouts to the Spirit Hall, you've ruined my son, and you're dead."

Earlier at Shrek Academy, he wondered why Yu Xiaogang was there, but considering that Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, he didn't pursue the matter further.

Now it seems that Yu Xiaogang's special trip to Shrek Academy was probably to kill Tang San.

Thinking it over, he turned around, his face grim, and walked towards Shrek Academy.

At this moment, the master was lying comfortably on the bed, holding the "resurrection item" that he had retrieved from Tang San.

He was completely unaware that a figure had entered his room.

Tang Hao swung his massive Clear Sky Hammer, smashing Yu Xiaogang and the bed flat with a single blow. After confirming that Yu Xiaogang was no longer breathing, Tang Hao turned and left.

The noise wasn't small, but it came quickly. To outsiders, it was just thunder. And in this heavy rain, thunder is even more normal.

Even if he were found out that he killed Yu Xiaogang, it wouldn't matter, because he felt that Flanders and the others wouldn't cause him any trouble because of Yu Xiaogang.

However, Yu Xiaogang was not the one who fought Tang San, so Tang Hao had to continue searching. He needed to find him alive or dead; only then could he truly say that things were settled for Tang San.

-

Five o'clock.

Ning Rongrong was still traveling back and forth between Shrek Academy and Soto City. At this moment, she felt her spirit was no longer sufficient to support her body and was about to dissipate, so she decided to take her "original body" back to the dormitory to rest. After a night, she vaguely realized that her "original body" was following her.

Just then, she heard a loud bang, but when she looked up at the sky, she didn't see any thunder.

"It's strange."

She muttered something to herself without thinking much of it. After entering the dormitory and seeing her "original body" lying down, she smiled and then vanished from the spot, falling into a deep slumber.

5:30.

The master's body swelled up, and his mask became even more crimson, but a crack had appeared in it.

At 5:40, the master's physical condition returned to its peak. His heart resumed beating.

He sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

In his dream, he died. He was repeatedly killed by Ning Rongrong. There was a scene where she pushed him off a cliff, a scene where she beheaded him when he wasn't looking, and a scene where she castrated him and then stabbed him to death piece by piece.

Fortunately, he was still conscious and alive.

Then, he realized that something seemed off about his condition, so he looked around his room.

Upon seeing this, I was quite startled.

His room was completely destroyed, and the bed he was on was in a terrible state.

Upon sensing the presence, he detected the lingering aura of the Clear Sky Hammer in the room. That ferocious aura was naturally not Tang San's; Tang San hadn't yet applied a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, so it wouldn't possess such a violent aura. Therefore, there was only one answer—Tang Hao.

Damn it, how could he have forgotten about that? Tang Hao had been observing Tang San the whole time; it was clear that the other party knew he had sent Tang San to assassinate Ning Rongrong and was coming for revenge.

But why didn't I die?

The master was puzzled, then suddenly remembered the resurrection item. Upon inspection, he found that it had indeed been used.

It turns out I had died before, but I had simply been resurrected.

The master suddenly felt a surge of relief. He was so glad that he had retrieved the item from Tang San; otherwise, he would have died without anyone knowing.

Then he felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If I were to be exposed to Tang Hao's watchful eye again... then what good would it do even if I were to be resurrected?

At that moment, Flanders rushed in, looking concerned.

"Yu Xiaogang, are you alright?"

Although he was disappointed in Yu Xiaogang, they were still close friends. As he was leaving, he noticed that Yu Xiaogang's door was ajar, so he rushed over to check on Yu Xiaogang.

However, as soon as he entered, he was horrified by the sight inside.

He wasn't stupid; he knew Tang Hao was behind it, but he couldn't afford to offend Tang Hao.

So he could only pretend he didn't know and say, "Who made your room like this?"

Fortunately, the master was still quite composed at this moment. He said, "I caused this explosion while conducting my own experiment. I'm fine, Flander. It's just that..."

He suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he looked up and finished speaking: "I think I did go a bit too far yesterday. So, I will give up my responsibility for training and only offer you some advice. Also... I will not leave this door from now on. Just tell them that I have left and don't let them come near this room."

After thinking for a while, Flander nodded and said, "I understand."

In his eyes, it seemed that the young master was about to return.

Little did he know, everything the master did was to prevent Tang Hao from killing him again; he was afraid.

Ning Rongrong's strength isn't too outrageous. Even if she finds out about her relationship with Bibi Dong through the Holy Spirit Cult, it won't affect him much as long as he's shameless. But Tang Hao wouldn't dare to question her.

Everyone says the most dangerous place is the safest place. Tang Hao would never have imagined that he was still alive and even here.

Chapter 71 Waking up

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Apart from Tang San and Ning Rongrong, the other five members of Shrek Academy gradually woke up.

Ning Rongrong didn't wake up because she returned later than the others.

Tang San woke up early because he hadn't gone to the school gate to help Ning Rongrong share the punishment; he went to bed early.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other in the room and decided to cultivate quietly without disturbing Ning Rongrong.

The rain is still falling, and shows no sign of stopping.

At 3 PM, Flander walked past the boys' dormitory and told them there was no training scheduled for the day, so they could rest and recuperate. As he passed Ning Rongrong's and her two companions' dormitory, seeing that none of them seemed like they could be disturbed, he secretly slipped them a note.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Rongrong slowly woke up.

She moved her fingers to make sure she was inside her own body.

Thirty hours had passed since she started moving the stones.

The Holy God is not here at the moment, and it's unknown when he will return. During this time, Ning Rongrong plans to cultivate. Although she cannot improve her soul power as quickly as the Holy God, she must improve her physical fitness and mental strength herself; that's what His Highness the Silver Dragon King said before.

Besides, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu are still cultivating.
