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

However, considering the abnormal state analysis document of Ning Rongrong that had been delivered to him not long ago, and knowing that Ning Rongrong was very likely to have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which involves delusions, avoidance, and emotional instability, Ning Fengzhi decided to go along with Ning Rongrong first and help her stabilize.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to help you solve this problem."

He finally nodded.

A short while later, the people he had called over arrived.

"Rongrong, this is a professional I hired to remove evil spirits and heresies."

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"major?"

Ning Rongrong looked at those people who were pasting yellow talismans, pouring talisman water, and dressed in strange clothes, her face full of disbelief.

"Extremely professional! They were specially invited!"

Ning Fengzhi said solemnly, as if that were the case.

"We've been secretly discussing this for the past few days, all to ensure the cleanup goes smoothly!"

"Ah, so that's what happened. I was worried for so long!"

Ning Rongrong felt that she could be understood by others again.

Thinking about it now, the strange expressions on Grandpa Sword's and Grandpa Bone's faces earlier must have been because of this. It turns out that everyone didn't distrust me; they were all doing it for my own good.

Ning Rongrong felt increasingly pleased with herself, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the exorcism process.

Taking the opportunity, Ning Fengzhi turned his head to look at the follow-up information on the Evil Soul Master incident.

"Huo Shengsheng, a native of the Star Luo Empire, is a Spiritual Soul Master who is skilled in various incantation soul techniques, including but not limited to silence, movement restriction, and thought slowing... In the process of tracking down this person, dozens of Soul Sect and Soul King members joined the investigation, but in the end, no one was found."

The intelligence email was accompanied by a portrait: a person with light blue hair and grayish-white pupils.

"This is such a hassle..."

After putting away the intelligence, Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter in front of him, and the pressure in his heart was finally relieved.

"Rongrong, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Seeing that the exorcism ritual was about to end, Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

"What is it, Dad?"

Ning Rongrong was in a very good mood at the moment.

"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy over there..."

……

The atmosphere froze.

The smile on Ning Rongrong's face disappeared.

"I told you, I'm not going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Ning Rongrong's voice was choked with sobs. "It's full of spoiled noble children, all so hypocritical, always talking and doing things in circles. I don't want to be with them!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the exorcists quickly packed up their stall and left.

Ning Fengzhi also sensed that something was wrong.

"No, that's not what I meant. How about we try it, Rongrong?"

Rongrong opened her eyes and stared at Ning Fengzhi expressionlessly:

"This is the only thing I absolutely will not accept."

Chapter 9, the prologue, has ended; we now proceed to Soto.

People are fickle.

Ning Rongrong knew what she was thinking during the period when she was under control. At that time, she had considered accepting the condition of going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which was a weaker form of control, in order to break free from the strong control. But now she just didn't want to go.

She hates being told what to do, especially long-term plans.

Therefore, she hated being controlled and hated having her father arrange her cultivation pace.

After saying those words, Ning Rongrong turned and left decisively.

Ning Fengzhi reached out to pull his daughter back, but ultimately did not take any further action.

"Go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and try out my third spirit ring..."

He finished speaking before he could.

Although Ning Fengzhi still wanted Ning Rongrong to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, after all, the resources there were good, there were many powerful Soul Masters, and most importantly, it would allow him to get in touch with the Heaven Dou royal family... However, for the sake of his daughter, he did not intend to bring up the matter today.

It has been three days since I entrusted the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to help Ning Rongrong hunt for her third spirit ring.

Upon learning that Ning Rongrong had reached level 30, he immediately contacted the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They possessed the most advanced theories in the Heaven Dou Empire and were certain they could provide Rongrong with the highest quality soul power-type soul beast…

As for the theory that a person's martial soul cannot break through to level 30, he said he was not familiar with it.

"Sigh...did I do something wrong again?"

Ning Fengzhi looked up and sighed.

"The soul beasts from the Tian Dou Royal Academy?"

"Let's keep it for Rongrong for now. If Rongrong doesn't need it... that person in the treatment department is kind-hearted and provided us with crucial information, let's give her to her. Rongrong and she have a good relationship, right? We can train her to be Rongrong's bodyguard later, anyway, her martial soul's offensive capabilities are quite good."

"Rongrong met with her today, and their relationship is indeed quite good."

"To be honest, I was a bit impulsive when I held the sword to her back then."

"Fengzhi, where will Rongrong go to school next?"

"There's no need to worry about that. I've already made backup plans by spreading information about other schools throughout the sect."

"Are you really so comfortable letting Rongrong go out and make her own way in the world?"

Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

He's not at ease at all.

"Perhaps Rongrong can only mature outside."

-

"Did I go a bit too far?"

Ning Rongrong walked back, talking to herself.

"Dad still had some things to say. Maybe he didn't actually want me to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but something else..."

As she spoke, she shook her head.

"12 years old is the age to go to school; there is no other possibility."

Several words suddenly appeared in Ning Rongrong's mind, and the words were combined together.

Soto City, Shrek Academy.

"An academy that only accepts monsters and not ordinary people... that must be very interesting."

She sighed, looking at herself who had unknowingly arrived at the sect's gate, and hailed a carriage.

"Go to Soto."

-

Wuhun Hall, Worship Hall.

The seven enshrined masters, led by Qian Daoliu, gathered here, surrounding a ball of black flame in the center.

"The evil spirit master's plot has been foiled, which is undoubtedly good news."

"If a second Holy God is truly cultivated, the entire continent will be in danger."

"When did this bunch of bastards gather together? They weren't even here when the Holy God was still around!"

"Who knows?"

The worshippers were discussing the latest incident involving the evil spirit master.

The black flames before them were a part of the Holy God. About a year ago, the Spirit Hall, together with the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the royal families of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, dispatched more than ten Title Douluo to suppress the scourge of this continent—the Holy God—and split it into several souls. The Holy God was evil, so its soul took the form of black flames.

The Black Flames were entrusted to different powerful individuals for safekeeping to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from obtaining all of them at once and thus resurrecting the Holy God.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult was wiped out at that time, one should always be wary of others. It was Qian Daoliu who proposed dividing Black Flame into several parts.

The black flames in front of them were the portion allocated to the Spirit Hall.

-

Hidden locations within the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The tall, slender figure in a black robe stared at the ball of black flames before him, listening to the report from the person behind him.

"Master, the saintess ritual has been disrupted."

"It's alright, this is still within the Holy Spirit's script."

"Do we need to tear down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"No need, and it's impossible to overturn... How are the preparations for the saintess ceremony at the stronghold in Soto City going?"

"Preparations are almost complete."

The figure in black robes nodded.

In front of him was a balance scale, with a purple stone on the left and a leaf on the right.

The weight of the leaf was clearly no match for the stone, and the balance remained tilted to the left.

This scale was retrieved from the cave stronghold before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School arrived.

-

"The registration fee is ten gold soul coins; just put it in that box."

Ning Rongrong searched around Soto City for a long time before finally finding out the location of Shrek Academy and successfully arriving at the registration office.

She was greatly disappointed by the registration location.

This was a very small village, and the sign at the entrance clearly told her that this was Shrek Academy.
