Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Relationship Deepens and the Imperfect Sage Mode

It seemed that Su Ming and Ning Rongrong's relationship had grown to be somewhere between friends and more than that, just shy of becoming lovers. Fortunately, Xiao Wu hadn't interrupted them and turned into a third wheel. If she had, Ning Rongrong probably wouldn't have dared to make such a bold move, and she might have even been teased by Xiao Wu later on.

After a brief moment, the two separated. Still feeling shy, Ning Rongrong quickly said, "I'm off now, wait for my good news!" Then, without even looking at Su Ming, she turned and ran off.

"Let's go, Xiao Wu. Rongrong's already left!" Although there was no one around, Su Ming said this as if speaking to someone.

Suddenly, the air around them rippled, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu appeared in front of Su Ming, pouting playfully. "Hmph! Even though I tried to hide, Su Ming-ge still found me!"

Although Xiao Wu wanted to give Su Ming and Rongrong some alone time, she never said she wouldn't peek from a distance. Now, when Rongrong returned, she could tease her properly. It was payback for all the times Rongrong had teased her.

Ning Rongrong's departure to her clan was something Zhu Zhuqing knew about, but she didn't follow along. She had simply bid her farewell back at the dorm.

Ning Rongrong didn't tell Zhu Zhuqing the real reason for her return, as she hadn't succeeded in her mission yet. She figured she'd tell her once she came back.

Zhu Zhuqing simply thought that Ning Rongrong was returning home to visit her family. However, she did ask how Master and the others would react if they found out Ning Rongrong had gone back to her clan instead of staying to learn Lingbo Weibu from Su Ming. Ning Rongrong reassured her not to worry, as Su Ming would handle everything. Then, she briefly explained the events of the morning to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly understood. The three of them were quite mischievous, and Su Ming, in particular, had a streak of cunning in him. He was a little bit devious!

That afternoon, Su Ming returned to his usual spot to continue his second-stage training for Sage Mode. Xiao Wu followed along out of curiosity.

Initially, Su Ming suggested Xiao Wu could return to her own training since he could handle the next stage alone. But Xiao Wu was too curious about Su Ming's training to leave, so she decided to stay and watch.

After satisfying her curiosity about the second stage of Su Ming's training, she could meditate and cultivate her soul power right there.

Without explaining much, Su Ming used his spirit power to create a long pillar that stood tall in the air. Xiao Wu glanced at the pillar and noticed that the top was pointed. She wondered why.

Without a word, Su Ming gathered his spirit power in his feet and leaped to the top of the pillar. Once he found his balance, he summoned a thick rectangular wooden board and placed it on the tip of the pillar, sitting down cross-legged on top of it.

Su Ming was imitating the training that the Toad Sage had used to teach Naruto. Sitting high up in the air would help him feel more attuned to nature's energy. However, Su Ming wouldn't have as much trouble as Naruto did, since their strength and environments were completely different.

Initially, Su Ming wobbled a bit as he tried to balance on the wooden board, though he didn't fall off. Eventually, he steadied himself.

As the Toad Sage had said, inner peace was key. To truly absorb nature's energy and harmonize with it, Su Ming had to calm his mind, like a serene lake with no ripples.

Xiao Wu watched him for a while, unable to see what Su Ming was trying to accomplish. After calling out to him several times with no response, she noticed that Su Ming had become completely still—no longer wobbling at all. Even the slightest movements had ceased. She figured he had likely achieved success with this stage of his training.

Su Ming had, in fact, calmed his mind and entered a meditative state. He began carefully absorbing the nature energy that flowed around him, cautiously drawing it into his body and trying to harmonize it with his own spiritual and soul energy.

During this initial attempt, small frog-like bumps appeared on his skin, but they were still under control. This gave Su Ming a sense of excitement—he was making progress. He felt that, with more time, he might achieve a perfect Sage Mode like Naruto.

The training continued until evening. By then, faint traces of the sage markings had appeared around Su Ming's eyes. Though he hadn't yet achieved perfect Sage Mode, he had reached a level similar to that of Jiraiya, with only minor imperfections in the form of some frog-like bumps on his skin.

Considering it was just one afternoon of practice, Su Ming felt it was impressive progress. One more day of training should bring him much closer to mastery.

Entering Sage Mode, Su Ming could feel his physical abilities improve significantly, though he wasn't sure by how much yet. The most noticeable change was how attuned he felt to the world around him. It was as if he had merged with nature itself. He could tell that his soul techniques would be several times more powerful while in this state, though he'd have to test them to know exactly how much stronger they were.

He decided to wait until he mastered the perfect Sage Mode before conducting any tests. There was no rush.

With that, Su Ming jumped down from the pillar, still in his incomplete Sage Mode. Xiao Wu, seeing this, smiled and said, "Ge, did you succeed? I saw it! While you were training, a bunch of birds flew around you, and some even landed on you! They weren't scared of you at all. Congratulations!"

Su Ming smiled back, "Not quite yet. I'd say I'm about 80-90% of the way there. I still have a few frog-like bumps on my skin, which means my three energies aren't perfectly balanced yet. Once I achieve that, I'll reach the perfect Sage Mode."

"Let's head for dinner," Su Ming said as he released his Sage Mode.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, eager to return to her clan, had asked her secret protectors to reveal themselves. Some of them were flying-type soul masters, so Ning Rongrong requested that they take turns flying her back to the clan as quickly as possible, using her martial soul to assist along the way.

Whenever they approached a city, they'd land to restore their spirit power before continuing their journey.

Because of this, Ning Rongrong had already covered half the distance back to her clan in just half a day. If it weren't for the dangers of traveling at night, she would've pushed on further!

Back at the academy, Su Ming and Xiao Wu arrived at the dining hall. Master Yu Xiaogang noticed that Ning Rongrong wasn't with them, which seemed odd to him.

Feeling uneasy, he asked, "Su Ming, where's Rongrong? Why didn't she come to dinner with you?"

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Tang San: Everything Makes Sense Now!

Su Ming calmly replied, "Oh, Rongrong said at lunch that she had some matters to attend to at her clan, so she hurriedly left."

"I'm not sure what she's doing there, but maybe she just missed home since it's rare to have a break."

"Or maybe..." Su Ming paused, looking at Master Yu Xiaogang with a mysterious smile, leaving him to wonder.

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened upon hearing this. If Ning Rongrong simply returned home to visit her family, that would be understandable—it was indeed a rare vacation. But why now, of all times? This was a crucial period in her learning of Lingbo Weibu from Su Ming, and she suddenly left without a word after lunch. Could it be because of what happened that morning?

Yu Xiaogang's mind raced with possibilities. Could it be that when Ning Rongrong returns, one of the two titled Douluo from her clan will accompany her?

Suppressing his unease, Yu Xiaogang asked in a flat tone, "Wasn't Rongrong in the middle of training with you? Why did she suddenly leave?"

Su Ming could tell that Yu Xiaogang's calm demeanor was forced. Inside, he was probably more anxious than he let on.

"Who knows? I'm not Rongrong's keeper. She just told me she was heading back, and I couldn't exactly stop her."

Yu Xiaogang was infuriated. Su Ming clearly knew something but was deliberately keeping it vague! Angrily, he retorted, "And you're okay with her leaving alone? Ning Rongrong is an auxiliary-type soul master without combat abilities. What if she encounters danger on the way?"

"At the very least, she should have waited until she mastered Lingbo Weibu, or asked Flender to assign a teacher to escort her back for safety!"

Yu Xiaogang's words were coming out without much thought. Ning Rongrong wasn't just anyone—she was the cherished little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Surely, someone was secretly protecting her. How could a young girl like her have made it to the academy alone otherwise? Plus, Ning Rongrong was an exceptionally beautiful young lady, which only increased her potential for danger.

"Might I remind you, Master, that Rongrong is the next heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Do you really think there isn't someone protecting her in secret? You're worrying for nothing. If there weren't any protectors, there's no way she could have made it here alone. Wouldn't you agree?"

With that, Su Ming left the conversation, leaving Yu Xiaogang and Flender to worry.

Xiao Wu, who had been quietly observing, whispered with amusement, "Ge, you're so mean!"

Yu Xiaogang, now in a foul mood, left the dining hall and headed toward Flender, grumbling about how irresponsible Ning Rongrong was.

Meanwhile, Tang San, who had been listening quietly, wasn't too concerned. If Ning Rongrong really had returned to her clan because of what happened in the morning, it wasn't a big deal.

Besides, when they had visited in the morning, Ning Rongrong and Su Ming had already been resting, so they weren't interrupted at all.

What truly bothered Tang San was how Su Ming knew about the concept of meridians. Was Su Ming, like him, a transmigrator from another world?

The more Tang San thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Su Ming's innate soul power was lower than his, yet Su Ming's cultivation speed was faster. The only explanation was that Su Ming had a unique method of cultivation, not the typical way soul masters cultivated their soul power.

Moreover, Su Ming had created multiple self-invented soul techniques. Could that be related to his mature soul? Tang San couldn't believe Su Ming was just naturally gifted enough to create so many techniques on his own.

And then there was Su Ming's physical training. He probably possessed some sort of treasure that enhanced his body. Otherwise, how else could Su Ming and Xiao Wu absorb spirit rings beyond their level? It couldn't simply be because they were geniuses.

Tang San's mind was buzzing with all these questions. If Su Ming truly wasn't from this world, then everything would finally make sense!

At that moment, a seed of suspicion and greed sprouted in Tang San's heart. He needed to find a way to confirm his theory. If Su Ming wasn't willing to reveal anything, then perhaps Xiao Wu could be his way in.

In Tang San's mind, Xiao Wu was simpler than Su Ming. If he probed subtly, he might be able to extract some useful information from her.

Xiao Wu: This jerk! Are you calling me dumb? Unforgivable!

That night, Su Ming and Xiao Wu returned to their dormitory early.

Su Ming briefly considered continuing his Sage Mode training in the dorm, aiming for perfection. But then he remembered he still hadn't written his daily journal entry. He figured he'd jot something down quickly, though he didn't expect any big rewards from the system at this point. He was already content with what he had.

He wrote down all the events of the day in his journal.

The other female protagonists were surprised after reading it. Aside from Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, the others were introduced to the concept of meridians for the first time.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were particularly shocked. They had always prided themselves on their knowledge, yet they had never heard of meridians before.

And the fact that Su Ming had openly mentioned meridians in front of Tang San meant that Tang San must have become suspicious. It seemed like Su Ming's departure from Shrek Academy was drawing near.

Bibi Dong wondered if Su Ming might join their Spirit Hall when the time came.

But then she remembered Ning Rongrong, realizing that the odds of Su Ming joining Spirit Hall were slim. He'd most likely head to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy instead, perhaps even seeking contact with Qian Renxue.

Bibi Dong's sharp mind allowed her to predict Su Ming's general plan. It was true—Su Ming wasn't planning to join Spirit Hall immediately after leaving Shrek. Even though he had the talent and strength, he wanted to make Spirit Hall invite him during the upcoming Soul Master Tournament. This way, he could negotiate on his terms.

If he joined voluntarily, it would make him seem like he had no other options, which would weaken his position. Being invited would put him in a stronger bargaining position for future plans.

Aside from their astonishment at these revelations, the women also noticed that Su Ming and Ning Rongrong's relationship had taken a major step forward over the past two days.

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong were particularly stunned that Ning Rongrong would go so far as to return to her clan and ask Ning Fengzhi to grant Su Ming their clan's secret technique, the Divided Mind Control Technique, to help him overcome Sage Mode's weaknesses.

The Divided Mind Control Technique was a foundational secret of one of the three great clans, not something shared lightly!

Liu Erlong couldn't help but wonder if Yu Xiaogang would shamelessly ask Su Ming to hand over the method to practice Lingbo Weibu once he realized Ning Rongrong had mastered it.

And Su Ming's plan was obvious: he intended to demand the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Technique in exchange. Would Yu Xiaogang agree?
