章節 72: Chapter 72: Ning Rongrong: Impossible, That Can’t Be Me Acting So Stupid!

[I still remember, shortly after enrolling at Shrek, Dean Flender assigned Oscar and Ning Rongrong to run ten laps between the academy and Soto City. Since both of them were support-type soul masters with weaker physiques, they needed extra physical training.]

[But for Ning Rongrong, who hadn't put much effort into training as a child, the distance was simply too much. The result was that Oscar completed the run, but Ning Rongrong ended up taking a break in Soto City to shop and eat.]

Ning Rongrong:

Honestly, with her personality, it did seem like something she would do.

[Afterward, Ning Rongrong lied to Flender, claiming she finished the laps, unaware that Flender's martial soul, the Cat-Eagle, had been watching her every move!]

[When Flender exposed her lie, Ning Rongrong became furious and argued that she was a support-type soul master and didn't need physical training because someone would always protect her!]

[Can you imagine how ridiculous that sounds? Well, you can't entirely blame her. Ning Fengzhi and the others protected her too well, so she never experienced the harsh realities of life.]

[Ning Rongrong then boasted arrogantly that with her talent, she didn't need such training. Then, of course, she got smacked with the truth. Flender pointed out that Oscar was a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, Ma Hongjun had the top-tier Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, and even Zhu Zhuqing, whose innate soul power was weaker, was a level higher than her. Ning Rongrong was left utterly embarrassed.]

[What happened next was even more intense. Ning Rongrong actually threatened Flender, telling him that he was just a mere Soul Saint, and if she wanted, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could kill him in an instant!]

[Two words: outrageous! How could Ning Rongrong say something so foolish? If Flender had any murderous intent toward her, she'd be dead before anyone from the clan could arrive to save her!]

Ning Rongrong stared at the diary, her expression serious. Was she really that reckless? Was that truly her? She couldn't believe it.

[I think Ning Rongrong wouldn't die, though. Being the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, she must have had someone secretly following her when she sneaked out. But the problem is that Ning Rongrong herself didn't know this. She actually thought she had escaped unnoticed and was quite smug about it—that's the part where I find her foolish.]

[If she really thought no one was protecting her, how did she have the guts to threaten Flender like that?]

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing glanced at each other, both finding the situation strange. Was Ning Rongrong's temper really that bad? They were going to live together soon, and if her personality was really like that, things might get difficult.

[Her behavior naturally made everyone dislike her, but since they weren't very familiar with each other yet, they didn't say much. They simply ignored her.]

[However, Ning Rongrong didn't stop and continued to dig her own grave!]

Ning Rongrong: Am I really that self-destructive?

[Shrek Academy has two graduation requirements: the first is to reach level 40 in soul power before the age of 20, and the second is to earn the Silver Soul Badge in the Great Spirit Arena of Soto City. Both conditions must be met to graduate!]

The girls were stunned, especially Bibi Dong.

Shrek Academy sure has some guts! Reaching level 40 before the age of 20 is something only real geniuses can achieve, and Shrek is just an intermediate academy. How dare they set such a requirement!

As for the second condition, Bibi Dong wasn't too familiar with it since she never needed to participate in spirit arena battles. However, she knew that achieving the Silver Soul Badge wasn't easy. It required consecutive wins, meaning that soul masters needed to either fight at a high level or possess the ability to surpass their own level in battle.

Losing even once would negate any progress, so the only way was to win continuously. And only the most talented soul masters could do that.

Bibi Dong found herself growing more and more interested in this so-called Shrek Academy. Its entrance and graduation requirements surpassed even those of the Spirit Hall Academy. According to Su Ming's diary, the academy was founded by Grandmaster's brother, Flender. How fascinating!

Without wasting time, Bibi Dong called Chrysanthemum Douluo over and commanded coldly, "Elder Chrysanthemum, go gather all available information about Shrek Academy in Soto City, from its founding to the present. Bring it to me!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was puzzled. Why is the Pope so interested in a random academy? He had never even heard of it before, which made him suspect it wasn't particularly prestigious.

But as the Pope's right hand, he didn't question orders and simply bowed, "Yes, Your Holiness."

Then Chrysanthemum Douluo left.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong continued to ponder over the diary. Having someone gather information on Shrek Academy wasn't against any rules. She was curious to see what this obscure academy was all about.

[Before entering the arena battles, students first needed to register and sign up for one-on-one or two-on-two matches. Initially, Dai Mubai wanted to form a team with Zhu Zhuqing, but Zhu Zhuqing had seen firsthand Dai Mubai's behavior with other women. Naturally, she gave him the cold shoulder and refused to acknowledge him.]

[So the two-man team ended up being Tang San and Xiao Wu, called the "Three-Five Combination." After the matches, Ning Rongrong, once again, started digging her own grave by mocking Dai Mubai for being useless. I don't remember exactly what she said, but it wasn't pleasant, and Dai Mubai got furious.]

[He grabbed Ning Rongrong by the throat and coldly threatened to rape and kill her if she kept acting like such a brat!]

The girls were shocked. They were stunned not only by Ning Rongrong's behavior but also by Dai Mubai's response. Didn't he realize Ning Rongrong was the heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan? If anyone was protecting her, Dai Mubai wouldn't have the chance to make a move before being killed!

Ning Rongrong, now filled with a sense of dread, was relieved that she had Su Ming's diary. She was far more mature now and would never behave as recklessly as described.

At the same time, her opinion of Dai Mubai dropped even lower.

Zhu Zhuqing shared that sentiment. She couldn't believe Dai Mubai would respond to a mere taunt with such a threat. Was it really necessary to escalate things so far?

[Later, Ning Rongrong got so upset that she asked Tang San to kill Dai Mubai, offering the friendship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan as a reward. I can only say Ning Rongrong was thinking too much.]

[Tang San didn't know her well, and he was too proud to help her kill someone. Ultimately, this matter was left unresolved. Later, Ning Rongrong seemed to genuinely reflect on herself, realizing that outside of her clan's advantages, she had no reason to be arrogant at Shrek Academy. So, she stopped acting out and began to truly change!]

Ning Rongrong let out a sigh of relief after reading this. Thankfully, she had the ability to reflect and didn't continue down a self-destructive path. If she had kept going, even with her father and two grandfathers protecting her, she wouldn't have achieved much.

Furthermore, she realized that Dai Mubai, as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, still held some power despite fleeing to the Heaven Dou Empire. He could easily use underhanded tactics against her.

Her father, as the head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, would face a tough decision—either stand up for her by retaliating against Dai Mubai, or put the clan's interests first and let it go.

Ning Rongrong believed that, even if her father wanted to avenge her, he would prioritize the clan's future. However, her two grandfathers, who were more protective, might become enraged and directly kill Dai Mubai, putting the clan in great danger. After all, Dai Mubai was still a prince, and the royal family wouldn't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan get away with it for the sake of the empire's dignity.

Now more mature and thoughtful, Ning Rongrong could see the bigger picture.

Both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu felt relieved after reading about Ning Rongrong's eventual change of heart. Had she not changed, living with her might have been unbearable. They also realized that, given the system's nature, Ning Rongrong likely also possessed a diary, meaning the future events written here might not happen anymore.

Years of reading Su Ming's diary had likely taught Ning Rongrong much about her clan's future, including its destruction. She had probably devised plans to prevent that and had matured considerably.

Additionally, with shared secrets and goals, their relationship should be easier, possibly even fostering mutual encouragement and progress.

[I've written so much about Ning Rongrong's early days at Shrek that I've gone off-topic. Why can't I control my thoughts? I need to fix this bad habit!]

Ning Rongrong: No, please write more about me! Even if it's embarrassing, it helps me learn my weaknesses, and I get rewards! It's great, really!

[Let's return to Shrek Academy's entrance exam. In the original story, Tang San and the others were all above level 25, so they skipped the second and third rounds and went straight to the fourth. And the judge for the fourth round was none other than the Immovable King, Zhao Wuji!]

Upon hearing the name "Immovable King," Ning Rongrong immediately remembered who Zhao Wuji was. Isn't he the guy being hunted by the Spirit Hall? She didn't expect him to be hiding here as a teacher!

[Originally, the fourth round required Tang San and the others to team up and endure one incense stick's worth of time against Dai Mubai's attacks to pass.]

[If nothing had gone wrong, they would've easily passed this test. If Tang San had gone all out, Dai Mubai wouldn't have stood a chance. Plus, with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing supporting, along with Ning Rongrong's boosts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, their combined combat power would've overwhelmed Dai Mubai, a mere level 37 Soul Elder.]

[However, Zhao Wuji decided to change the rules and have them withstand his attacks instead. Zhao Wuji is a level 76 Soul Saint with the Martial Soul Vigorous Vajra Bear, while Tang San and the others weren't even at level 30 yet. They probably couldn't even break through his defense! It was ridiculous.]

[As expected, they failed the challenge. But given the circumstances, it was understandable, considering Zhao Wuji was taking advantage of his power.]

[Of course, there was a little twist—because how else could our protagonist Tang San show off his greatness?]

As Su Ming wrote this, the girls began to guess—was this related to the hint he had given Tang San earlier?

[During the battle against Zhao Wuji, Xiao Wu tried to use her second soul skill, Charm, on him. But Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable King, was far too powerful, and their mental power levels were vastly different. As a result, Xiao Wu was backlashed and fainted. I'll have to remind her tomorrow not to do anything reckless—I don't want to see her hurt again.]

Xiao Wu: Why is this happening to me again? I have a bad feeling... Am I going to get hurt again, only for Tang San to become all-powerful afterward?

[As I mentioned before, whenever Xiao Wu gets hurt, that's when Tang San starts going all out. If she doesn't get injured, it's like he can't fight properly. Sigh, it's frustrating.]

[Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San asked Zhu Zhuqing to take care of her, then demanded a rematch against Zhao Wuji, saying he'd face him alone for an incense stick's worth of time. It's honestly laughable. Why wait until now to go all out? If he thought he could fight Zhao Wuji, why not from the start? Does he always need Xiao Wu to get hurt before taking things seriously?]

[Even though Xiao Wu's injury might not have been part of Tang San's plan, this whole situation feels avoidable. We can't let Xiao Wu keep getting hurt for Tang San to fight at full strength. What if one day she's fatally wounded?]

[I get more frustrated the more I think about it! Injuries are inevitable in battle, so I need to do my best to protect Xiao Wu. The best way to prevent tragedy is to fight at full strength from the start!]

[Zhao Wuji was surprised by Tang San's challenge but agreed, likely curious to see how capable Tang San really was.]

[Once everything was ready, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, placed his hand on his soul tool, and prepared to unleash his hidden weapons. His cold gaze made Zhao Wuji feel a shiver of unease. The battle began.]

[Because Tang San's soul power was too low to break Zhao Wuji's defense, he relied heavily on hidden weapons, using them to strike at weak points. Combined with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand techniques, he pushed Zhao Wuji to use his fifth soul skill, which was impressive.]

The girls were shocked. They hadn't expected Tang San to have such power, forcing Zhao Wuji to use his fifth soul skill—even if Zhao Wuji wasn't going all out, it was still remarkable!

[Ultimately, it was Tang San's newly acquired Dragon Beard Needles that gave Zhao Wuji the most trouble. As I mentioned earlier, the Dragon Beard Needles are extremely effective against Zhao Wuji's type of defense.]

[Tang San timed his attack perfectly, firing several Dragon Beard Needles into Zhao Wuji's body. While the needles weren't miraculous enough to tear through his flesh completely, they still caused him a lot of pain.]

[In the end, Tang San won the fight.]

The girls were astonished. Tang San had managed to defeat a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji! Though there were mitigating factors, it was still something to be proud of.

[That's why I subtly hinted to Tang San today. I hope tomorrow, during the battle, he'll use his hidden weapons at the right time. With my Wood Release supporting him and me revealing a bit more of my strength, we should be able to defeat Zhao Wuji.]

[With Tang San showing his strength first, I can reveal some of mine without it seeming too suspicious. After that, Tang Hao can leave without worrying too much.]

[I don't want to outshine Tang San too much while Tang Hao is around. Although I've surpassed him significantly, I'm still within a reasonable range. After all, Tang San is supposed to be my friend.]

[Besides, Tang San has twin martial souls. Tang Hao probably believes that once Tang San masters the Clear Sky Hammer and awakens his Blue Silver Grass at level 50, he'll surpass me. That's probably Tang Hao's confidence in his son's potential.]

[Moreover, Tang San will need comrades to fight against the Spirit Hall in the future. That's why Tang Hao is looking for talented people to form a team with Tang San, and it worked. In the future, Tang San's group of seven would lead the charge against the Spirit Hall.]

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue furrowed their brows. So Tang Hao is already scheming to oppose the Spirit Hall, with Tang San's team as the main force? They realized they needed to act sooner rather than later, making preparations for the inevitable confrontation.

[Still, there's something I find odd. Why hasn't Tang Hao reacted to my close relationship with Xiao Wu? Wouldn't he want Xiao Wu to develop feelings for Tang San and then arrange for her to 'accidentally' sacrifice herself later?]

Xiao Wu: Su Ming, you're overthinking it! Please, system, keep Su Ming confused!

Su Ming casually asked the system, "System, do you know why?"

The system: ...

[Ding! Host, is it possible that Tang Hao plans to wait until Tang San reaches the Soul Douluo level before orchestrating Xiao Wu's death? Right now, Tang San's strength isn't there yet, so he's letting things play out. Maybe he expects you all to stay together for a while, growing closer, and only later would he take action.]

[That actually makes a lot of sense. If that's the case, I need to be extra cautious moving forward. I can't let Xiao Wu out of my sight, and even if she's far from me, I'll need to give her some Soul Douluo-level protective items.]

[After asking the system, I now think Tang Hao might wait until Tang San is stronger before targeting Xiao Wu. The system's reasoning makes sense.]

Xiao Wu: Well done, system!

The system: Hehe, the host is so easy to mislead.

Ah Yin: She still didn't fully believe that her Tang would go that far unless she saw it with her own eyes. She clung to a small hope that maybe Tang Hao wouldn't do it.

Soon, midnight arrived once more.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing today's diary entry and triggering a critical reward.]

[Rewards received: One Divine Bestowed Soul Ring, Fiery Eyes of Truth, and the Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting.]

Su Ming: Holy! A critical reward! And these are incredible rewards!

The Divine Bestowed Soul Ring was self-explanatory, but he didn't need it right now, so he set it aside. The Fiery Eyes of Truth, allowing him to see through all illusions and perceive the truth, was perfect for complementing his Sharingan's abilities.

However, the most valuable reward to him was the Complete Guide to Talisman Crafting. The guide contained detailed instructions on creating various talismans, including space, transfer, explosion, and lightning talismans!

Each type of talisman required different materials, and the guide categorized them into nine levels, corresponding to the nine stages of a soul master—simple yet effective.

Su Ming believed that if talisman crafting spread across the Douluo Continent, it could spark a massive technological revolution, possibly even creating a new profession—talisman masters.

For now, though, he didn't plan to share the method of making talismans. It was one of his trump cards. The only downside was that he'd have to learn everything from scratch, so it would take some time and effort.

But Su Ming knew it was worth it—talismans were far superior to Tang San's hidden weapons!
