章 208: Chapter 208: Ning Rongrong: Maybe I Can Help Su Ming Overcome the Flaw of Sage Mode!

Ning Rongrong decided not to beat around the bush. "Su Ming, what if... the Split Mind Control secret technique from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could help you balance the three energies during Sage Mode?"

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes widened in surprise. "Whoa! That's right!"

He had nearly forgotten about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's unique ability to control multiple things at once through the Split Mind Control technique. He couldn't be certain if it would work, but it was definitely worth considering.

The system chimed in: "Ding! Host, it might be worth a try. You never know—it could work!"

Su Ming playfully retorted, "System, you gave me toad oil and the beating stick. Why didn't you give me something that could help me gather natural energy?"

The system responded with a sarcastic tone: "Ding! Host, that line of thinking is wrong. If I gave you everything, you'd be a useless slacker. What would I need you for? And besides, rewards are random. If you have bad luck, don't blame the system."

Su Ming: …

Fine, he was just venting to the system, but it wasn't wrong. If everything was handed to him, he really would be worthless. The system seemed to be challenging him to grow, rather than just handing out solutions.

For example, even after all these years with the system, he still hadn't received a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. He had a few below that level, but he didn't care for them. As someone with a system and knowledge of the story, how could he be satisfied with less than the best? However, the lesser soul bones could still be useful in the future for his allies or to gain influence.

These were considerations for later. Right now, his strength didn't rely heavily on soul bones. High-quality auxiliary soul bones were rare, and the only one he had was the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

He wasn't in a rush to absorb it, since doing so would reveal Ah Yin's presence. He could wait until he either joined the Spirit Hall or until Ah Yin fully recognized Tang Hao's true nature. At that point, revealing it would be the perfect timing for their confrontation.

Of course, it didn't have to be an auxiliary soul bone, since those were particularly rare. Most soul bones provided offensive or defensive abilities, with auxiliary effects being secondary. If he had no other options, Su Ming hoped that any future soul bones he absorbed would have the highest possible age, though he wasn't sure if the system could enhance a soul bone's age.

The system responded vaguely: "Guess you'll have to wait and see..."

Since the system had suggested trying the Split Mind Control technique, it was probably effective. Su Ming was familiar with how the system worked: it didn't appear unless something was important. Otherwise, no amount of shouting could summon it. If it had emerged now, it meant the technique was valuable.

However, Su Ming wasn't eager to approach Ning Fengzhi for the secret technique just yet. He preferred to strengthen his relationship with Ning Rongrong first—otherwise, it might look like he was trading with Ning Fengzhi, rather than building a genuine bond.

"Your clan's Split Mind Control technique would likely be useful for me, but I can't be sure how effective it will be. Are you suggesting that...?"

Before Su Ming could finish, Ning Rongrong confidently declared, "Yes! I want to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Split Mind Control technique to you. I'll head home this afternoon and convince my father!"

Su Ming hesitated, "Rongrong, I didn't teach you Lingbo Weibu just to get your clan's secret technique..."

Ning Rongrong smiled warmly, "I know that! But I want to contribute. You mentioned that when you're in Sage Mode, your entire body is enhanced, but the short duration is a flaw because you can't gather natural energy while fighting. That's why I thought Split Mind Control could help you. So don't refuse!"

Ning Rongrong playfully turned to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, help me convince your brother!"

Xiao Wu had already noticed how much closer Su Ming and Ning Rongrong had become during their training. Ning Rongrong was even willing to share her clan's secret to help Su Ming. Naturally, Xiao Wu wanted to support this and chimed in, "Brother, Rongrong means well. You should accept her offer."

Seeing how determined they both were, Su Ming finally relented, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news."

"But are you sure it's safe for you to go alone? Do you need me to accompany you?" Su Ming asked, still concerned.

Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I've got Lingbo Weibu now—if I run into danger, I can escape easily. Besides, I believe the clan has people secretly protecting me, though I've never seen them."

After a moment of consideration, Su Ming agreed, "Alright, but be careful. As for Master and the others, we'll keep them in suspense, hehe..."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu both giggled, "Su Ming, you're so mischievous!"

Su Ming's plan was simple: by not revealing the real reason for Ning Rongrong's departure, Flender and Yu Xiaogang would naturally assume she was going back to complain about their interference. But in reality, she had another purpose, leaving them to their own speculations.

"Alright, Su Ming. Now that we've rested enough after Master interrupted us, let's get back to training!" Ning Rongrong said with determination.

She wasn't sure when it happened, but over the past couple of days, she had grown deeply fond of Su Ming—perhaps because of everything she had personally witnessed and experienced with him.

As the next hour passed, Su Ming finally began to master the initial process of absorbing natural energy. No longer did it rush into him violently, like when he first applied the toad oil. However, due to the earlier interruptions, it was nearly time for lunch, so Su Ming decided to pause and continue in the afternoon.

"Let's go grab some food. And before you leave later, Rongrong, I'll give you something—just a little trinket to keep you safe."

Hearing this, both Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu became curious about what Su Ming had in mind.

Feigning a pout, Xiao Wu teased, "Su Ming, you're playing favorites. Why don't I get one too?"

Of course, Xiao Wu wasn't truly upset. She knew a protective item would be more useful to Ning Rongrong than to her.


章 209: Chapter 209: Absolute Defense Soul Tool, Reverse Invincible Shield

Su Ming affectionately patted Xiao Wu's bunny ears and said, "This life-saving item won't do much for you, but it's an invaluable treasure for Rongrong."

He then smiled slyly at Xiao Wu, "If you want a reward, I'll give you one later—just for you!"

As he spoke, his gaze at Xiao Wu took on a mischievous glint.

Since they were on break now, Su Ming thought it wouldn't be a problem to spend some time training with Xiao Wu privately later. After all, the training area was well-protected with thick wooden walls, and Ah Yin was there to keep watch. No one would catch them.

Despite the subtle meaning behind his words, Ning Rongrong didn't pick up on it. She innocently assumed that Su Ming meant he would give Xiao Wu a special gift later. However, Xiao Wu quickly caught on to the hidden meaning behind Su Ming's words. She felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as she realized what kind of "reward" he was hinting at.

Unable to say anything with Ning Rongrong right there, Xiao Wu pouted and shot Su Ming a playful glare.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong was confused. "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu quickly composed herself, "It's nothing. Let's go, Rongrong. I'm starving."

As they entered the cafeteria, they were surprised to find that the menu had drastically improved. There were big chicken legs, nourishing dishes, and of course, Xiao Wu's favorite—carrots.

Soon after, they spotted Zhu Zhuqing, who had already arrived. The three girls sat together, and Ning Rongrong quietly asked, "Zhuqing, what's with the fancy food today?"

It wasn't that Ning Rongrong was unfamiliar with such meals—they were common in her clan. But at Shrek Academy, where resources were limited, it was surprising to see such lavish food. It felt as if the sun had risen in the west. Why was the academy spending money like this all of a sudden?

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, signaling she didn't know either.

At that moment, Master Yu Xiaogang, dressed in a chef's uniform, walked out with a smile and said, "Children, enjoy the meal. From now on, this will be the standard for your meals. That miser Flender doesn't understand how important proper nutrition is for soul masters! The meals before were nowhere near enough for you all."

Flender, knowing he couldn't bear to see the cost, had stayed away from the cafeteria. If he had heard Yu Xiaogang, he would've been heartbroken. After all, these meals weren't coming out of Xiaogang's pocket—Flender was the one feeling the pinch. And it wasn't like the students didn't receive stipends from the Spirit Hall. If they wanted extra food, they could've gone to town for it themselves!

Flender imagined gold soul coins flying out of his pockets as he sighed in despair.

Xiao Wu leaned toward Su Ming and whispered, "Su Ming-ge, do you know what's going on here?"

Su Ming thought for a moment before quietly replying, "While it's likely that Master is doing this for our health, I suspect it's mainly for Tang San's sake. We're just benefitting from it because Tang San is his disciple, and Master would never let him go without."

"Of course, this is just a guess. I can't exactly ask Master about it, and he'd never admit it anyway."

Though Su Ming played it off as speculation, Xiao Wu found his reasoning convincing. After all, knowing Flender's stingy nature, it was hard to believe he would suddenly splurge on lavish meals. The real reason was likely Yu Xiaogang, wanting to ensure his beloved disciple was well-fed.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang turned toward Su Ming and the others with a smile. "Rongrong, Su Ming, make sure you eat well. If there's anything lacking, I'll ask Flender to provide more nutritious food for you!"

Though Yu Xiaogang's gesture seemed kind, the trio didn't think much of it. After all, providing proper meals was the academy's responsibility. With such strict admission requirements and no other training equipment, the least they could do was feed them well. They felt it was only fair.

Su Ming, however, couldn't help but wonder if Yu Xiaogang's newfound generosity was part of a ploy to build rapport and eventually ask for Lingbo Weibu. He laughed inwardly. If that was the case, he had another thing coming!

Before long, lunch ended, and Ning Rongrong prepared to leave for her clan, packing her belongings into a storage soul tool.

At that moment, Su Ming handed her a small item and said, "This is a life-saving soul tool called the Reverse Invincible Shield. It's an absolute defense soul tool that can trap any soul master below the rank of Soul Douluo for a quarter of an hour."

"If you find yourself in danger, use this. It will buy you time to escape. Of course, I hope you never need to use it."

Ning Rongrong was deeply moved upon hearing this. A soul tool like this must be incredibly rare. She had never heard of such a thing existing on the Douluo Continent!

Su Ming silently chuckled to himself. This item was from a future version of the Douluo Continent, where soul tool technology was far more advanced. In the current era, the development of soul tools was still in its infancy, with soul masters relying primarily on their abilities. He wondered how far soul tool technology had progressed in the Sun and Moon Continent by now.

If anyone asked about the soul tool later, he would simply say it was something he came across by chance. And if he had to, he might even reveal the existence of another continent. For now, though, keeping an air of mystery didn't hurt.

As Su Ming was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a soft body press against him. Looking down, he saw Ning Rongrong hugging him tightly.

Inwardly, Su Ming smiled to himself. Was this an unexpected bonus? All he wanted to do was give her a life-saving tool—he hadn't expected such a response.

Feeling Ning Rongrong's warmth, Su Ming was filled with emotion. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong's face flushed bright red, even her earlobes were tinted with embarrassment.

This time, her gesture wasn't like the impulsive kiss she gave him before. Now, she was fully aware of what she was doing—it was an intentional act. For the first time, she was getting this close to someone who wasn't a family member. But she didn't mind. She had started to realize that her feelings for Su Ming were more complicated than simple friendship.

As she hugged Su Ming, she couldn't help but think about how warm and safe his embrace felt. At that moment, the relationship between them had undeniably crossed the boundary of friendship.
