Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Ning Rongrong’s Determination

As for whether Yu Luomian can achieve even greater heights in the future—that depends on him!

Liu Erlong felt her heart tighten when Su Ming expressed his doubts about her and her father. But as she continued reading, she breathed a sigh of relief. She realized she needed to work harder to persuade her father to stay committed.

Without me, this family would fall apart!

After finishing my conversation with Liu Erlong and leaving Blue Tyrant Academy, I sensed a familiar aura sneaking behind me. It turned out to be Xiao Wu, hiding with her bunny ears!

At this point, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, both reading along, began to realize something. Xiao Wu had snuck off to wait for Su Ming without telling them! Now it made sense why Su Ming hadn't written in his journal the night before.

Meanwhile, back in her dorm, Xiao Wu felt her face flush with embarrassment. She hadn't expected Su Ming to mention her in his journal. Now, everyone would know!

Knock knock knock…

Xiao Wu froze, dreading who might be at the door. Is it Rongrong or Zhuqing?

The sky was barely light. Surely it couldn't be both of them getting up to train so early… could it?

After hesitating for a few moments, Xiao Wu finally opened the door, revealing none other than Rongrong and Zhuqing.

With a slightly forced smile, Xiao Wu said, "Zhuqing, Rongrong, what brings you both here so early?"

She'd guessed that Rongrong would show up, but she hadn't expected Zhuqing to come along as well!

Rongrong gave Xiao Wu a teasing smile. "Well, what do you think? We wanted to see if you were actually here in your dorm."

With that, Rongrong led Zhuqing inside, glancing at Xiao Wu's bed. The bed was pristine, as if it hadn't been slept in. Rongrong doubted Xiao Wu would get up this early to train, especially since she was already at rank forty-nine, far ahead of the rest.

Xiao Wu stayed silent, knowing she'd been a little sneaky in going to meet Su Ming. She waited to see what they would say next.

Normally, Zhuqing wouldn't have joined in. She was the quiet type, usually uninterested in others' private matters. But she had found herself at Xiao Wu's dorm with Rongrong, and even she was surprised at her behavior.

Rongrong then plopped onto Xiao Wu's bed and feigned anger. "Xiao Wu, you're so sneaky! After we returned to the dorms, you slipped off to Blue Tyrant Academy to wait for Su Ming, didn't you?"

"And I bet the reason Su Ming didn't write in his journal yesterday was because of you!"

Her teasing was lighthearted this time, unlike before. Since she and Su Ming were together now, she figured her own turn in the journal was inevitable. She preferred not to be the target of teasing herself.

Standing quietly, Zhuqing didn't say much, but she couldn't shake a dull ache in her chest.

Xiao Wu gave a sheepish smile, feeling a bit guilty. "Rongrong, I just wanted to make sure Su Ming had something to eat… though, okay, I did have some selfish reasons too."

Rongrong shook her head with a sigh. She hadn't been genuinely angry. If anything, she thought of herself as the third wheel, but she had wanted to see if Xiao Wu was back.

Surprisingly, Zhuqing, usually so aloof, had been standing by Xiao Wu's door too. Rongrong thought she sensed something unusual about this.

Seeing that Rongrong wasn't actually mad, Xiao Wu grabbed her arm, smiling. "Rongrong, it's barely dawn! Why are you up so early?"

With an exaggerated sigh, Rongrong said, "Really, Xiao Wu? Do you think I'm the type to sleep in and skip training?"

At her response, both Xiao Wu and Zhuqing nodded in unison.

In their time at Shrek Academy, Zhuqing had always been the early bird, while Xiao Wu and Rongrong took turns vying for last place.

Rongrong: They could cut me a little slack here!

With a resigned sigh, Rongrong continued, "Since returning from the Star Dou Forest, I've been determined to work harder. Just look at us. Su Ming is at forty-eight, Xiao Wu, you're almost at fifty, and Zhuqing's at forty-four. I'm still at forty-two—I need to step up if I want to keep up with you all!"

"Besides, it's already challenging enough to train as a support-type spirit master. If I don't work hard, I'll only fall further behind you two. I still want to be able to help Su Ming!"

Rongrong's tone was filled with determination.

Xiao Wu and Zhuqing exchanged puzzled glances, wondering at Rongrong's sudden burst of dedication. Her concerns about lagging behind didn't quite match the Rongrong they'd come to know.

But they could believe the second part: wanting to contribute to Su Ming. After all, now that they were together, it was natural for her to work harder for him.

Seeing that they were all gathered, Rongrong and Zhuqing decided to stay and finish reading the journal in Xiao Wu's room.

 


Chapter 334: Chapter 334: A Quiet Competition in Cultivation, The Small Forest by the Academy’s Back Hill

Seeing Xiao Wu sneakily hiding nearby, I couldn't resist the urge to play a little prank on her. Although I knew she was waiting specifically for me, I just had to tease her a bit, haha.

I initially sped off in the direction of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, vanishing in a flash. Knowing Xiao Wu, she'd be curious and would step out to look for me. Then I doubled back, catching her off guard. To my surprise, her reaction was much bigger than I expected, causing her to yelp in shock.

This, of course, attracted the attention of everyone around us, so we ended up with all eyes on us, practically socially "dead" right then and there. I had no choice but to scoop Xiao Wu up in a princess carry and swiftly flee the scene.

After that, we practiced a bit of, well… breathing exercises. It turned out that Xiao Wu didn't know how to regulate her breath very well. My original plan was to teach her everything last night, but our stomachs got the better of us. So we decided to grab a bite to eat, leading to yet another sleepless night.

After writing quite a bit, Su Ming figured he had made up for the previous day's lack of entries. Maybe I can get a little extra reward?

System: Dream on, even if it is daytime!

Naturally, Su Ming wasn't serious about it. After so many years, he knew the system's quirks all too well.

After reading the latest entries, the girls decided to get back to their own business.

As for Xiao Wu, she was exhausted. Aren't girls supposed to have the advantage in matters like this? So why did she always seem to lose when she was with Su Ming?

Every time, she'd be utterly defeated, left trembling, and forced to plead for mercy. Soul master battles aren't just about level; they're about actual strength!

With an hour left before class, Su Ming decided to check out the academy cafeteria. After last night's activities, he was starving. Heaven Dou Royal Academy's food had to be better than Shrek's, right? With this thought in mind, he headed off, realizing he'd yet to visit the cafeteria since he enrolled.

An hour later, Su Ming arrived at the small forest by the academy's back hill as planned. To his surprise, he saw Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling approaching from the opposite direction. They were early, despite not yet being at the agreed time.

Su Ming hadn't expected that two girls would arrive early like this. In his previous life, it was usually the guy who waited, while the girl, for various reasons, would barely make it on time—if she wasn't late.

What he didn't know was that after he'd mentioned wanting to surpass her in cultivation, Dugu Yan had become even more competitive. Her strength was hard-earned, and now that she was ahead of Su Ming, she couldn't afford to be overtaken. Her spirit's evolution into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor had enhanced her talent significantly.

The combination of her newly improved cultivation method, the benefits of the immortal herb Su Ming had given her, and her newly evolved spirit meant she couldn't slack off.

Dugu Yan's diligence also inspired Ye Lingling. Though her talent hadn't changed, seeing her good friend so dedicated pushed her to train even harder.

The rest of the members of the Emperor Team had no team leader since Qin Ming was dismissed. With only nine months left until the Soul Master Tournament, they focused on their individual cultivation to be ready. The addition of Su Ming, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing threatened their positions on the main team. Despite their pride, they knew they couldn't afford to end up on the second team. They wanted to use the tournament to make a name for themselves!

Thus, an unspoken, intense competition began quietly, with everyone training hard for the tournament.

From afar, Su Ming waved to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, calling out, "Over here!"

The three of them chose a secluded spot in the small forest to practice, since they would be attempting to use a martial spirit fusion technique—something best done out of sight.

Once they settled in, Dugu Yan took a step back and grinned at them. "Go ahead and do your thing; pretend I'm not even here. I'll just watch."

Su Ming:

First, she tells us to pretend she's not here, then she says she'll watch. Make up your mind!

He had a pretty good idea why she insisted on staying. Besides her curiosity, she wanted to make sure nothing unexpected happened. After all, it was just him and Ye Lingling, two people alone in a secluded spot.

As much as Su Ming liked beautiful things, he wasn't desperate. He preferred things to unfold naturally.

"Ye Lingling," Su Ming started, "you've read up on what's needed to perform a martial spirit fusion technique, right?"

Ye Lingling's cheeks reddened slightly, and she nodded.
