Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Zhu Zhuqing’s Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Ghost Douluo’s Interest in Apprenticeship

The confrontation naturally caught the attention of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo was present, while Ghost Douluo observed from the shadows.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, Ghost Douluo was stunned—he was determined to make her his disciple. No one could stop him… well, maybe he should consult Su Ming first. But with his expertise in stealth and assassination, surely Zhu Zhuqing and Su Ming wouldn't refuse his guidance?

Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't return to Star Luo Empire now; joining Spirit Hall was the best choice to avoid retribution from the empire. In Ghost Douluo's view, Emperor Xue Ye alone wouldn't be able to protect her. However, Su Ming's close connection with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect added a layer of uncertainty. And if he planned to join Spirit Hall despite that, what was his motive? Was he not worried about clashing with the sect later?

But that wasn't Ghost Douluo's concern. With Zhu Zhuqing's exceptional spirit ring configuration, she was already more than qualified to be his disciple; he just needed to act fast!

Soon enough, the situation calmed down. Yu Xiaogang had Tang San and the others help carry the injured Dai Mubai back to the hotel for treatment. They were once again reminded of Su Ming's frightening strength. Tang San, in particular, noticed Su Ming's eyes turning red as space twisted around Dai Mubai, followed by vines that pierced him instantly. The speed and precision left Tang San feeling heavy-hearted. Even with all their newfound strength, could they ever match Su Ming? Would he have a chance if he added spirit rings to his Clear Sky Hammer?

"Zhuqing, are you alright? Don't worry; if the Star Luo royal family dares to touch your Zhu family… well, then the Star Luo royal family won't need to exist anymore!" Su Ming spoke decisively.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing seemed troubled, he wanted to offer more reassurance, but before he could, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"Thank you, Su Ming. When I saw my sister earlier, I had so much to ask her, but I couldn't bring myself to say a word," she confessed. "Before my martial spirit awakened, she treated me so well, but once it did, she grew distant… even attempted assassinations. Perhaps it was her doing."

"I just don't understand. She's my sister—why does she act like this? The competition within Star Luo's royal family is so cruel. Losers usually face death. If I could, I'd walk away from it all. I don't care about any throne!" she exclaimed, her voice soft, vulnerable, like a wounded kitten.

Su Ming hadn't expected such an emotional response from Zhu Zhuqing. His simple gesture of reassurance seemed to have won her over completely.

Ghost Douluo, listening from the shadows, wanted to jump in and say, "Swear loyalty to me as your master, and I'll go deal with that emperor myself!" The crowd, sensing the couple's intimate moment, dispersed with a few well-wishes thrown their way.

One passerby even gave Su Ming a thumbs-up and a grin before leaving, causing Su Ming to chuckle inwardly. What a perfect assist.

"Alright, Zhuqing, let's not think too much about it. You've seen my strength—there aren't many on the continent who can match me, as long as it's not a god," Su Ming said, patting her gently on the back.

As they made their way back to the hotel, Su Ming chose to write in his journal rather than rush into training.

Su Ming's Journal

"Today, the finals finally began, and our first opponents were from Canghui Academy. With only three Spirit Elders, Feng and the others were overconfident, assuming victory was in the bag. Little did they know, Canghui Academy had a hidden ace: the Seven Shura Illusion, a seven-man fusion technique with Spirit Emperor-level power, which the four Spirit Elders couldn't withstand."

"I let them face it as a lesson. It's important they learn not to underestimate opponents based solely on spirit rank—there are plenty of cases where the weak prevail over the strong."

"Predictably, they couldn't handle it and called for my help. Though I intended to let them learn the hard way, I didn't want them injured, so I intervened. Canghui Academy's captain wanted to turn us into idiots, so I reflected their attack using Kamui's reverse transmission. All seven of them ended up victims of their own move."

"You know what they say: Heaven may pardon transgressions, but self-inflicted harm has no cure."

The girls, reading along, shook their heads with wry smiles. Canghui Academy's misfortune seemed well-deserved.

"After our match, we encountered Tang San's team. Something felt… off. Dai Mubai's hair had gone half white, and he looked like he'd aged dramatically—essentially, his lifespan's been slashed in half."

"And he wasn't the only one. Oscar and Ma Hongjun showed similar signs, though to a lesser extent. Looks like Tang San has led them down a questionable path. Even he wouldn't dare use these methods himself, yet here they are, diving headfirst into disaster."


Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Do You Like It When I’m More Dominant?

"Tang San shows no signs of that life-draining aura, which means he hasn't really relied on this method much. Perhaps his Mysterious Heaven Skill mutated, and he didn't need it. This dark technique does seem like something the Tang Sect, an assassin clan, would develop."

"For organizations that train assassins, it's not feasible to invest excessive time and resources into training. Instead, they'd likely use methods that quickly bolster strength, producing expendable warriors known as 'death soldiers.'"

"By sacrificing longevity to rapidly increase power, they can mass-produce puppets for the sect. Dai Mubai's group may not be 'death soldiers,' but at this rate, they won't last long. Especially Oscar—he once had a shot at becoming the Food God. Now? He's wrecked his future, threw it away. Tsk tsk."

"Dai Mubai probably flaunted his newfound strength as a Soul King to Zhuqing, not expecting her to be almost as strong and with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. Realizing that, his emotions must have exploded."

"He probably suspects Zhuqing's ring was my doing. Seeing how close we are, while Zhuqing's technically his fiancée, he likely felt humiliated. He even insulted her, when I swear, nothing's happened between us yet! I mean… yet!"

That "yet" caught everyone's attention, though they kept their reactions to themselves. Zhu Zhuqing simply smiled, having finally let go of her worries about Star Luo.

After the tournament, she planned to follow Su Ming into Spirit Hall. Once there, with Spirit Hall's protection, the Star Luo royal family would hopefully hold back from harming the Zhu family. While Zhu Zhuqing didn't feel much attachment to most of her family, she still cared for her parents and her sister.

"I didn't expect Davis and the Star Luo team to appear. Well, with both princes here, it's time to stand by Zhuqing. It's just a little prince, nothing to worry about!"

"I might have even eased some of her concerns without realizing it… I'm starting to think she prefers a bit more dominance?"

In another room…

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both looked directly at Zhu Zhuqing, who blushed and seemed a bit flustered.

"Zhuqing, who would've thought you like a guy with a dominant streak?" Xiao Wu teased.

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent, realizing it might be true. She'd always appreciated Su Ming's calm demeanor, yet something had been missing. Today, however, when he'd confidently protected her, she felt her heart skip a beat, as if captivated by his assertiveness.

Images of leaning into his chest earlier filled her mind, making her cheeks flush again. She never imagined herself doing something like that! Was this the real her?

At six, before her spirit awakened, she and her sister had lived happily without worry. Perhaps back then, she'd been her true self. Letting go of her burdens seemed to be slowly bringing that side of her back.

Reflecting on her earlier assertions to Xiao Wu and Rongrong—that she'd never fall for Su Ming—only made her feel slightly embarrassed. She'd assured them, but now, here she was.

Feeling a pang of guilt, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Xiao Wu, Rongrong… Are you upset with me?"

After a brief pause, she voiced her question hesitantly.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances and pretended to look displeased.

"Of course we're upset!" they chorused.

"Wait, what?" Zhu Zhuqing tensed, regretting that she might've hurt them. What should she do?

"We're upset that it took you this long to see how amazing Su Ming is! You've known him for nearly two years; only now do you realize?" they teased.

They'd intended to prolong the joke, but seeing her expression shift, they quickly dropped it—there was no need to make her feel worse.

Realizing they'd only been joking, Zhu Zhuqing let out a relieved breath and playfully wrestled them.

"Alright, enough! Let's get back to Su Ming's diary, hahaha! Stop tickling me!" Ning Rongrong laughed, unable to keep up.

Being the smallest, she tapped out first, admitting defeat to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who wore triumphant smiles.

After mere seconds, Ning Rongrong was out of breath, her face flushed and a bit sweaty.
