Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

This was the first time he had ever faced such a powerful opponent.

Even when he faced Haotian Douluo directly with Zhao Wuji a few days ago, he never felt such fear and pressure. He truly deserves to be called the Limit Douluo, a being standing at the pinnacle of this continent. Even just standing there is the epitome of invincibility.

"Your Majesty, my father is Yu Yuanzhen. Please spare our lives," Yu Xiaogang said hastily.

Everyone on the mainland knows that this Limit Douluo has intricate connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. When his father took his cousin to become his disciple, he did not refuse her as readily as others, clearly showing that he had some consideration for her feelings.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family doesn't have a piece of trash like you..."

Lu Cheng glanced indifferently at Yu Xiaogang.

She gently pressed her fingertip against him. Speaking of which, this beast was also a bit of a scoundrel. Back then, he bewitched Bibi Dong, causing Qian Xunji's Dao Heart to shatter and leading him to do a series of outrageous things.

Doesn't he know he's unworthy of Bibi Dong? Yet he pretends to be well-read and erudite, hovering around in front of her. His intentions are obvious...

When trouble struck, he abandoned Bibi Dong and ran away, then immediately got together with his cousin.

It's absolutely disgusting.

Immediately, under the terrifying gravity, blood gushed from Yu Xiaogang's face, and he lay prostrate on the ground, making hoarse sounds, unable to utter a single word.

"You've gone too far!!!" Flander roared, glaring angrily at Lu Cheng.

"There's still room for manpower."

Lu Cheng chuckled, and the pressure emanating from him suddenly doubled, pinning him firmly to the ground.

On the other hand, the Shrek Seven Devils were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

His face was filled with shock and despair.

This was their first time leaving the beginner village. They fought their way through the Soul Arena and experienced many life-and-death trials, but for the first time, they felt despair in the face of the Heavenly Abyss forged by such strength.

Even someone as powerful as Dean Flander, a renowned Soul Saint on the continent, was completely crushed by a single hand. Zhao Wuji, who had arrogantly called himself the Immovable King, was now deathly pale.

It's important to understand that the opponent clearly wasn't using their full strength, perhaps not even a tenth of it.

"Gulp~" Ning Rongrong's throat bobbed, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment as she stared at the handsome man who looked like an immortal. No wonder her father had been so persistent in wanting her to become his disciple. Today, her doubts were finally resolved.

As for Shrek Academy... to be honest, with her intelligent and quick-witted personality, she had long seen through the master's hypocrisy and empty reputation. The only thing she was somewhat attached to was her hard-won friendship with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

But if we're really going to stick together through thick and thin... let's forget about it.

Shrek isn't worth it.

It seemed like an eternity had passed, at least in the eyes of Flanders and the others, before the terrifying pressure gradually receded like the tide, leaving only a scene of devastation.

The master had already fainted, and a foul stench emanated from his crotch.

Flander and the others were also pale, their soul power completely depleted.

He was paralyzed on the ground, unable even to pull his legs out of the ground.

"Get lost." Lu Cheng glanced at Flander and the others, and said calmly, "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy doesn't need trash..."

“…Yes.” Flander’s throat bobbed, and he dared not hesitate any longer. He struggled to wave to Tang San and the others, signaling them to pull them out. Then, he slung his arm over his shoulder and walked out in a disheveled state.

Dai Mubai was no longer as arrogant as before, but he was still unconvinced. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and tried his best not to look at Lu Cheng's face.

It's unclear whether it was fear or anger at the insult to their teacher.

Ning Rongrong paused, realizing that if she followed the other seven monsters, she would be forever branded with Shrek's mark in this person's eyes, and she had to find a way to change that.

He then whispered a few words to Xiao Wu, signaling her to go first.

After all the Shrek members had left the room, she revealed a bright smile and bowed slightly: "Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School greets His Majesty the Dragon God."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Lu Cheng's tone softened as he slowly asked, "You're Ning Fengzhi's daughter?"

“Indeed, Your Majesty recognizes your father? You often mentioned to Rongrong before that Your Majesty’s great achievements in resisting the Star Dou Great Forest. If it weren’t for you guarding there alone back then, I’m afraid it’s hard to say whether the human race could have survived.” Ning Rongrong said sweetly.

“Hehe…” Lu Cheng chuckled. He had met Ning Fengzhi when he traveled across the continent. That guy was also a speculator who liked to place bets. Seeing that he had not yet risen to prominence but had strong talent, he secretly gave him a lot of benefits.

His expression softened somewhat, but he still frowned slightly: "Why are you hanging out with those guys?"

“It’s normal that you juniors don’t know the name Yu Xiaogang, but there’s no way that guy Ning Fengzhi doesn’t know it, and there’s also Flander, Zhao Wuji… I even doubt whether Shrek Academy has been certified and licensed by the Empire.”

"It was because I was ignorant back then that I ran away from my family and stumbled into that place..." Ning Rongrong playfully stuck out her tongue, like an obedient junior listening to the scolding.

……

Chapter 263

"..."

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment, but he understood Ning Fengzhi's good intentions. After all, the girl looked normal now, which meant she had obviously been through the trials of villains (Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang, and Flander).

If it were a year or so ago, he would have been a complete devil.

When this girl celebrated her birthday, she hadn't yet experienced the Asura God's affairs, and Ning Fengzhi had invited her, but she was busy at the time and declined due to some trivial matters.

But complaints aside...

Shrek Academy is indeed quite abstract, basically full of villains: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, the Oscar trio who indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring; Tang San, the pure and innocent wife-protecting maniac; Flander, who is so stingy that he can't even provide the most basic infrastructure of the academy, yet treats the enrolled disciples like pigs to be slaughtered; and Yu Xiaogang, who pretends to be a master and even his own acting almost convinced himself.

It's as if everyone is trying to collect all seven deadly sins.

Greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, envy, pride...

"Are you planning to win the championship with them?" Lu Cheng asked slowly after a long silence.

Sure enough, there's hope!

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. Clearly, her father had a good relationship with this person, and she had made the right bet. Although this person was extremely dissatisfied with Shrek Academy, he had no prejudice against her or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, abandoning Shrek Academy at this moment would be too heartless and ungrateful.

Ning Rongrong pursed her red lips and said in a low voice, "My father always wanted me to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but back then I ran away from home to spite my family and ended up entering Shrek Academy by accident."

"Uncle Lu, please calm down. Dai Mubai... he is indeed an arrogant man who doesn't know the proper order of respect. I can't get along with him. He even threatened to kill me earlier. If it weren't for my classmate's help, I'm afraid I would have died at his hands."

Ning Rongrong feigned distress, touching her fair and slender neck, which was smooth and flawless, but her pretty face showed a look of horror.

“Dai Mubai is Flander’s personal disciple, so he is exceptionally biased and has never intervened to mediate the conflict. As for Yu Xiaogang, he is truly unworthy of being a teacher. All he did was make us do weight training and then send me to observe ants moving house…”

"Although Shrek Academy is terrible, I've made friends there, like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. The reason I stayed at Shrek Academy is because of them."

Ning Rongrong finished speaking quickly in one breath, and then observed Lu Cheng's expression.

These words were mostly true, spoken with sincerity. In front of such a being, she dared not play any tricks; sincerity was the most important thing. Once her ulterior motives were discovered, her goodwill would inevitably plummet.

"A disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, going to that bird academy to suffer like this? Ning Fengzhi must have lost his mind to allow this. Hmph, I suppose those two old guys, Sword and Bone, don't know that you were threatened. If they did, I don't believe those guys would still be standing in front of me." Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said in a calm tone.

Ning Rongrong could only stick out her tongue and pretend to be stupid.

There was no other way; the two opponents were also top-tier experts on the continent, and these two in front of him were figures who could shake the entire continent with a stomp of their feet, which was why they could so freely mock his father.

If it were an ordinary person, she would definitely be furious.

But who can blame them when the one speaking is Dugu Bo?

He might even be acquainted with his father, and if he teases him to his face, his father will just laugh it off.

"Old Poisoner, you've gotten too cocky..." Lu Cheng glanced at Dugu Bo strangely. It seemed that after his martial soul evolved, his cultivation level had skyrocketed, and his confidence had also increased dramatically.

"This is nothing," Dugu Bo chuckled. "I went to seek advice from that old swordsman a few days ago."

Back then, Lu Cheng was unparalleled in the world, with no one able to rival him.

With his golden Overlord Spear, he deterred even the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest from showing their faces. Who didn't know that Dugu Bo had a good relationship with Lu Cheng? Wouldn't they give him some face when they met? That was when he was truly arrogant.

After Lu Cheng disappeared for ten years, he gradually kept a low profile, fearing that he would be targeted by his former enemies.

In fact, if it weren't for the recent breakthrough in its cultivation, it would have stayed in its old nest all along.

Lu Cheng shook his head, looked at Ning Rongrong, and knew that what she said was true: "Since your father has made his decision, I can't interfere. But Shrek Academy is really an insult to geniuses. I grew up, became famous, and eventually took a position at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, training batch after batch of disciples. I have a small reputation. If you are willing, you can come here anytime..."

"Just find him."

He then pointed to Meng Shenji.

The latter's eyes flickered, and she quickly smiled and said, "Miss Ning, we've met before..."

"Yes! Rongrong thanks Uncle Lu and Uncle Dugu!" Ning Rongrong was filled with excitement. She bowed gracefully to the two of them, then took her leave and ran towards the door.

They followed in the direction the Shrek group was heading.

I've just arrived in Tiandou City, and I need to write a letter to my father to explain what happened today so that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can make preparations as soon as possible.

"How about coming over for a drink?" Dugu Bo said with a smile. "The news of your return to the continent will probably be all over the place by tomorrow. Back then, His Majesty the Dragon God was awe-inspiring and revered by thousands across the continent."

"Then let's have a drink. I haven't seen many of my old friends from back then..." Lu Cheng said with a sigh.

"What is this?" Dugu Bo glanced at the silver-haired beauty beside Lu Cheng and asked with some surprise.

"Gu Yuena." The silver-haired woman spoke in a cool tone, yet with a hint of familiarity, and revealed a smile.

"Gu Yue... Na?!!" Dugu Bo was stunned. He knew the two girls who followed Lu Cheng back then, but now it seemed they were...

Something must have happened to bring it to this point.

Therefore, he coughed lightly twice as a greeting, without saying much. He glanced at his granddaughter who was full of curiosity not far away, then slapped his forehead, pulled Lu Cheng and said with a smile, "My granddaughter, how should I put it, this girl is now one of the main forces of Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Not bad talent, did you feed her the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus?" Lu Cheng glanced at Dugu Yan, slightly surprised.

"Of course, she's far more accomplished than I am," Dugu Bo said with an air of pride.

"At the age of nineteen, you are already a Soul King... You have the same style as me back then," Lu Cheng said with a gentle smile.

"Tsk tsk, those words deserve to be framed. For Lu Cheng to praise her like that, this girl has truly made something of herself." Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement. After all, this young man was known for his incorruptibility back then, and apart from Gu Yue and Na'er by his side, almost no one else could catch his eye...

"Your partner is Yu Tianheng?" Lu Cheng suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something.

“Uncle Lu, no…” Dugu Yan was somewhat taken aback, wondering why this suddenly appearing top expert would ask about this matter. She shook her head and said strangely, “I have heard of Yu Tianheng. He is a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he works at Thunder Academy. He fought with us before.”
