Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Ning Rongrong’s Talent in Spiritual Power

Meanwhile, Su Ming's first stop upon returning to the academy was to find Ning Rongrong.

Recently, Su Ming had been focused on his own training and had unintentionally neglected her. Ning Rongrong could now defend herself with Lingbo Microsteps, yet she still lacked offensive techniques.

When Ning Rongrong entered spiritual training techniques faster than Xiao Wu, Su Ming had been surprised, but he hadn't thought much of it since they were traveling to Star Dou Forest, and Ning Rongrong's entrance time was still slightly slower than his own. However, he now realized he had overlooked her potential.

In Su Ming's Soul Tool, he had a technique that fit her needs. It was a spiritual-based martial technique for offensive defense, one he himself had set aside because it wasn't very useful for him. However, for Ning Rongrong, it could be a valuable self-defense tool.

Inside Ning Rongrong's Room

Su Ming looked at her earnestly and said, "Rongrong, I have a technique that could suit you. It's specifically designed for spiritual attacks, but I need to confirm if you have the necessary spiritual talent first."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up with excitement—finally, she'd have an offensive ability! She nodded enthusiastically.

Su Ming moved his forehead to touch hers, closely examining her spiritual state. Ning Rongrong blushed deeply at the unexpected gesture; although she and Su Ming had a special relationship, the sudden closeness made her a bit shy.

After a moment, Su Ming was astonished—Ning Rongrong's spiritual sea was anything but weak. By his estimate, her spiritual power was comparable to a Soul Saint's level, or, in terms of Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes, it was at the initial Grain Boundary level.

For Ning Rongrong to have reached this level, even with daily practice, suggested that her inherent spiritual talent was higher than average, combined with extra training support.

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded approvingly and took out a book on the martial technique from his Soul Tool. "Rongrong, you have impressive spiritual talent. This technique will let you condense spiritual swords that can be used both offensively and defensively, depending on your mastery."

"If you get proficient, you could even form a larger sword for flight, though it's mostly for show and takes a lot of spiritual power. There's also a spiritual shield option, allowing you to form an invisible shield before you."

He continued, "Our spiritual power is invisible, but as long as we control it skillfully, we can shape it however we want. This technique is a starting point—you can adapt it in any way you like."

Overjoyed, Ning Rongrong accepted the book. She was intelligent enough to understand the basics easily, but she felt she needed to repay him in some way for all his help.

Without warning, she hugged Su Ming, lifted her head, and closed her eyes.

Su Ming chuckled, kissed her gently, and lifted her up, carrying her to the bed, where a warm atmosphere soon filled the room.

An Hour Later

Fatigued, Ning Rongrong asked for a break, but Su Ming, leaning close, whispered, "Rongrong…meet one little condition, and we'll end the training session."

"What condition?" she asked, exhausted.

Su Ming whispered his request softly, making Ning Rongrong shiver. Although hesitant, she ultimately agreed to his terms.

The Next Morning

Thanks to Su Ming's healing abilities, Ning Rongrong felt fully refreshed. She initially planned to go with him to watch the matches at the Great Spirit Arena, but Su Ming insisted she stay at the academy to focus on mastering the spiritual technique he'd given her, as it would ensure her safety during the tournament.

While it might be easier to use weapons controlled by spiritual power, weapons weren't allowed in the tournament. This meant Ning Rongrong would need to condense spiritual swords independently.

This method, though cumbersome, would help her condense her spiritual power and hone it more effectively by jumping straight to advanced spiritual applications. Additionally, if she could later incorporate rare metals into her spiritual swords, they'd become far stronger than simple spiritual manifestations.

As Su Ming mused, he recalled a place that could help—Gengxin City, the capital of blacksmithing. Known for its rare metals, it could provide the raw materials for Ning Rongrong to build even stronger tools if refined by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan craftsmen.

If Ning Rongrong improved her spiritual power over time, her spiritual weapons could even rival Tang San's hidden weapons, eventually breaking through the defenses of average Titled Douluo.


Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Su Ming's Surprise – Tianshui and Blazing Fire Academies Forfeit

After bidding Ning Rongrong farewell, Su Ming made his way to the Great Spirit Arena alone, curious about who Thunderclap Academy would face today.

If it were Tianshui or Blazing Fire Academy, he thought it might be wise to give them a bit of a heads-up. Tianshui would be easy to approach since he knew Shui Bing'er and her team, but Blazing Fire Academy, particularly Huo Wu, was a different matter since he hadn't had much contact with them.

His reasoning for warning these two teams was straightforward: Su Ming was interested in the three sisters of Tianshui and Blazing Fire's Huo Wu. Of course, he would only suggest caution, leaving it up to them whether they believed him or not.

System: "Oh, they'll believe you for sure, hehehe!"

Given Tang San's cautious nature, Su Ming figured he would only absorb minimal power from his opponents during the competition, so their talents wouldn't suffer much from a single match—hardly noticeable.

Today's Thunderclap opponent turned out to be the second team from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Su Ming shook his head in pity. The second team was about to face a harsh defeat!

He briefly considered advising them to forfeit but realized that wouldn't go over well, as both teams represented the Empire's honor. There was no way they'd willingly give up.

As expected, Thunderclap Academy finished their match within one or two minutes. It ended so quickly that most other matches had barely begun by the time they were done.

Meanwhile, Tianshui Academy was set to face off against Blazing Fire Academy, but just before their match, an announcement was made: both teams had forfeited! This drew loud boos from the crowd, who had been looking forward to an intense showdown between these two elemental powerhouses. However, the teams had simply walked away.

Su Ming found this strange. Tianshui and Blazing Fire were notorious rivals; you'd think they'd relish the chance to battle ice against fire. Especially considering Huo Wu's fiery temperament, her choosing to forfeit seemed out of character.

Perhaps they forfeited to conserve strength for tomorrow's battle against Thunderclap?

Seeing as they would likely leave the arena soon, Su Ming waited by the entrance. After a few minutes, the teams exited together.

Spotting Su Ming, Shui Bing'er quickly figured out he must have been waiting for them on purpose. She stepped forward and asked, "Su Ming, were you waiting for us here?"

Su Ming nodded, glancing at her teammates. Picking up on his hint, Shui Bing'er turned to them, "You all go ahead back to the hotel to train."

Not to miss the chance to meet Su Ming, Huo Wu dismissed her own teammates, staying behind to stand with Shui Bing'er. They had mutually agreed to forfeit today's match. Facing Thunderclap soon, they both wanted to avoid revealing any tactics in advance, so each team had made the choice to forfeit without consulting their teachers. This decision had confused their mentors, but with both captains highly respected, they accepted it as long as they continued advancing through the qualifiers.

Su Ming was surprised to see Huo Wu had stayed behind, as they hadn't officially met yet. She stepped up and introduced herself, "You're Su Ming, captain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team, right? I'm Huo Wu, vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy. I hear you're only around fourteen and already a Soul King. I look forward to seeing you go all out if we meet in the finals!"

Huo Wu's words were straightforward, simple, and forceful—characteristic of the fiery personalities like hers in the Douluo world.

In the original series, both Huo Wu and Liu Erlong shared fierce, determined personalities. However, Su Ming found himself favoring Huo Wu more; she was just as fearless but knew her limits, refraining from reckless aggression. It was that very sense of self-restraint that appealed to him more.

It was a shame, though, that such a striking, bold woman ultimately ended up with Feng Xiaotian.

Now, Su Ming's thoughts drifted to Feng Xiaotian and some others like Oscar and Flender. Three big "admirers," but only Flender didn't "win" his prize. Quite a pity! But then again, he could only blame himself. Flender's poor looks never compared to the likes of Oscar and Feng Xiaotian, who were quite handsome.

Smiling, Su Ming replied, "You're rather confident, Huo Wu. As a Soul King, I'd say you're a bit overambitious if you think you can beat me."

Huo Wu was well aware of Su Ming's strength, but her spirit wouldn't allow her to admit defeat so easily. Her strong desire to spar with him was evident, even though his diary had already indicated his considerable skill.

Unwilling to back down, Huo Wu said, "How can you be so sure I can't beat you? From what I've heard, your martial spirit is wood-based. That means I might stand a chance!"

Having recently received two upgrades from the system, Huo Wu felt confident in her strength. Her mastery over fire significantly boosted the power of her spirit abilities, and her complete control over her spirit rings allowed her to unleash her full potential without worry.

With her refined mastery, combined with her 47th-level spirit power, Huo Wu felt she could easily overpower most low-level Soul Kings. And with the support of her team's two auxiliary spirit masters, she was confident even a higher-tier Soul King would struggle against her full-strength attack!
