Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

"First, you can only be a substitute player."

“No problem!” Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously.

"Secondly, Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu will give you special training. The training plan will be formulated by them, and you must obey it unconditionally. No matter how hard or tiring it is, you cannot stop."

"I promise!" Ning Rongrong clenched her little fist.

“Third,” Ning Fengzhi paused, his eyes turning serious, “if during the special training, Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu determine that your progress is not up to standard, or that you have mental issues, then this plan can be terminated at any time. You must accept this; there is no room for negotiation.”

This made Ning Rongrong hesitate for a moment.

But looking into her father's unwavering gaze, she knew this was the final line she had drawn.

"I...I accept." She bit her lip, but finally nodded.

“Very good.” Ning Fengzhi withdrew his hand, the seriousness on his face fading, and his gentle demeanor returning. “Then this matter is settled. I will personally communicate with the three members of the teaching committee of Tiandou Royal Academy to have you join Tiandou Team One as a substitute player.”

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Grandpa Sword! Thank you, Grandpa Bone!"

Ning Rongrong could no longer control herself and suddenly threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms, crying and laughing at the same time, her tears smearing all over Ning Fengzhi.

She was genuinely happy.

I was so happy I felt like I could fly.

Gu Rong laughed heartily as he watched, then walked over and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, or you'll look like a little kitten! Starting tomorrow, you'll see what real training is like! Don't complain then!"

"I won't!" Ning Rongrong lifted her head from Ning Fengzhi's embrace, her face still streaked with tears, but her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, I can persevere!"

Chen Xin also showed a rare smile, though it was faint, the satisfaction in his eyes was obvious.

"Then let's start tomorrow morning," he said calmly. "Five o'clock in the morning, at the training ground behind the sect's mountain."

"Five o'clock?" Ning Rongrong's face fell.

She usually sleeps until she naturally wakes up...

"What? Are you scared already?" Gu Rong deliberately provoked her.

"Who's afraid!" Ning Rongrong immediately puffed out her little chest. "Five o'clock it is! I'll definitely be there on time!"

"That's more like our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess!" Gu Rong laughed with satisfaction.

Looking at his daughter's radiant face, Ning Fengzhi's worries were finally replaced by relief.

Perhaps, he really should let Rongrong go and fly.

This child is stronger than he imagined.

……

A few days later, at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

The morning sunlight shone through the delicate carved window screens, casting dappled light and shadow on the floor of Snow White's bedroom.

She had just finished her morning meditation, and the soul power surrounding her was slowly calming down.

The level 43 soul power flowed smoothly within her body, and she had basically mastered and absorbed the immense energy brought by the fourth ring of ten thousand years.

Just then, a maid's respectful voice came from outside the palace: "Your Highness, Miss Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived."

Snow White opened her eyes, a gentle smile flashing in her clear pupils. She straightened her skirt and softly replied, "Please let her in."

The door was pushed open, and a pale yellow figure, like a cheerful lark, flew in lightly.

"Sister Xue!"

Ning Rongrong wore a brand-new pale yellow dress today, with delicate embroidered patterns of a seven-treasure glazed pagoda on the hem. The golden sunlight shone on her, making her look radiant and beautiful.

Her face beamed with an irrepressible smile of excitement, and her beautiful eyes sparkled as if they were filled with stars.

"Rongrong." Snow White stood up and went to greet her.

Why are you up so early today?

Chapter 255 Heavenly Dou Team

Ning Rongrong ran to her in a few steps, eagerly grabbed her hand, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Sister Xue, I have some amazing news to tell you!"

Snow White was infected by her excitement, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up: "Oh? What good news makes you so happy?"

"I," Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, as if about to make some important declaration, and said, word by word, "I, am, going, to, join, the, Tian, ​​Dou, Yi, team!"

After saying that, she stared intently into Snow White's eyes, anticipating her reaction.

Snow White was indeed taken aback for a moment.

She remembered that a few days ago at the academy, the three education committee members clearly stated that Ning Rongrong's soul power level did not meet the standards of the first team, and that the first team already had a support-type soul master position.

How could things have changed in just a few days?

"Really?" Snow White's eyes still revealed genuine surprise.

"The three education commissioners have agreed?"

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, her little face filled with pride.

"My father personally went to talk to the three education commissioners! Even though he was just a substitute player."

She paused, then her smile widened: "Sister Xue, we can train together from now on! I can see you every day, and stand on that ring with you!"

Snow White looked at Ning Rongrong's flushed face, which was red with excitement, and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.

She knew that, given Ning Rongrong's personality, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sect Master Ning Fengzhi to personally intervene and for the three education committee members to make an exception and agree, she must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

"Rongrong," Snow White gently took her hand, her voice soft.

"This must have been very difficult, right?"

Upon hearing Snow White's words, Ning Rongrong was taken aback at first, then a slightly spoiled smile appeared on her face. She deliberately raised her chin and put on an expression that said, "What's so special about this?"

"It's nothing!"

She waved her hand, her tone light and cheerful, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"I talked to my father, and talked to Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, and then I convinced them."

She blinked her beautiful eyes, which gleamed with a mischievous light.

"Sister Xue, don't underestimate me. I'm now the most promising genius girl in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so of course Father and the others will support my decision!"

Snow White looked at her quietly, her clear eyes seeming to see through all pretense.

She knows Ning Rongrong too well.

This little princess, who has been pampered since childhood, always appears carefree and nonchalant on the surface, but deep down she is more proud than anyone else and more afraid of letting others see her vulnerability.

……

With Ning Rongrong officially becoming a substitute member of the Tian Dou Royal Academy Team One, the entire roster of the Tian Dou Royal Academy Team One is now officially finalized.

The current members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team are:

Captain: Snow White, Level 43 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Snow-capped Swan, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow, One Purple, One Black.

Vice Captain: Yu Tianheng, Level 39 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Level 38 Control-type Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Graphite, Martial Soul: Xuanwu Turtle, Level 38 Defense-type Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Xuanwu Turtle, Level 37 Defense-type Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Yu Feng, Martial Soul: Wind Chime Bird, Level 36 Agility Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Oslo, Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard, Level 36 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Ye Lingling, Martial Soul: Nine-Hearted Begonia, Level 35 Support-type Weapon Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Substitute player: Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul: Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 31 Support-type Soul Master, Soul Ring Configuration: Two Yellow and One Purple.

In fact, before Ning Rongrong joined, the Tian Dou team had a total of eight Soul Masters.

As the ace team of the empire's highest academy, their configuration was originally meticulously calculated.

Captain Bai Xue and Vice Captain Yu Tianheng form the core, Dugu Yan is responsible for controlling the field, the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers build the strongest defense, Yu Feng and Aos Luo, two agility-type soul masters, take turns to play according to the characteristics of the opponents, and Ye Lingling, as the only support-type soul master, is an indispensable support in the team with the almost heaven-defying healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia.

With Ning Rongrong joining the team, the support role now has the potential for rotation.

Although her soul power was only level 31, far lower than Ye Lingling's level 35, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's comprehensive support capabilities were equally crucial in team battles.

……

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Training Ground No. 1.

The morning light shone through the towering dome-shaped soul-guided lights, illuminating the entire training ground in a bright and solemn manner.

A faint scent of metal mixed with soul power permeated the air.

Team members entered the training ground one after another.

Yu Tianheng walked at the front, his dark blue outfit highlighting his tall and slender figure. His black hair was neatly tied back, and his brows carried the unique arrogance of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

However, his arrogance has now been tempered with a touch of restraint. Since Snow White became the captain, he has voluntarily stepped down to the position of vice-captain.

Following closely behind was Dugu Yan, who wore a dark green dress, had long hair like a waterfall, and whose emerald green eyes shimmered with an eerie luster in the light.

Her face was expressionless, but her gaze paused slightly when it swept across the center of the training field.

The brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, walked side by side. Both were robust and steady, their Xuanwu Turtle Martial Souls granting them a profound aura far beyond their years. Yu Feng and Oslo brought up the rear; the former moved as lightly as the wind, while the latter was like a cheetah in the night, his presence both subtle and dangerous.

Ye Lingling walked alone on the side of the group. She was wearing a plain white dress and had a cool and aloof temperament. She was holding a thick soul beast encyclopedia in her arms and exuded a sense of detachment from the world.

When everyone arrived, a series of light footsteps came from the entrance of the training field.

Everyone turned to look.

Snow White walked in first. Today she was wearing a silver-white training uniform. The fitted cut accentuated the curves of a young girl's emerging figure. Her long hair was tied high in a ponytail, making her look neat and spirited.

Ning Rongrong followed behind her. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, dressed in a pale yellow dress, had obvious excitement and nervousness on her face.

Good morning, everyone.
