Everyone Had an Axe to Grind, Gangzi Wanted Another Beloved Disciple
Ning Rongrong thoroughly enjoyed being the moon surrounded by stars.
Ever since entering Shrek Academy,
Ning Rongrong had not been the center of attention like this in a long time.
Most of the time, Tang San and Xiao Wu stole the spotlight.
Aside from Oscar, her devoted bootlicker, no one around Ning Rongrong cared about her little princess status.
Now, at last, she could hold her head high.
Ning Rongrong planted her hands on her hips, tilted her chin up, and said proudly,
"I paid a great price to have someone tattoo these angel wings on me."
"With this pair of angel wings, I don't need anyone else to protect me."
"If I run into danger, I can run away on my own."
Ning Rongrong was like a child showing off a toy.
She briefly described what had happened during this time to everyone.
At first, she had always doubted the claims Ning Fengzhi made about the strongest support Soul Master.
But after seeing what Su Yu could do, Ning Rongrong was completely won over.
When she talked about Su Yu, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
That made Oscar, who stood nearby, feel miserable.
Damn Su Yu, how dare he snatch my goddess away from me.
I can never coexist with you.
How could Oscar fail to see it?
Ning Rongrong had definitely fallen for Su Yu.
Otherwise, why would Ning Rongrong look so bashful?
Oscar was bitter.
He had spent so long bootlicking Ning Rongrong.
Yet he could not compare to half a day with Su Yu.
Was there any justice left in the world?
What made Oscar even more miserable was that Ning Rongrong had called Su Yu the strongest support Soul Master.
After all, Flender had always taught him that he was a genius among support Soul Masters, the kind seen only once in a century.
Oscar had Innate Full Soul Power.
Even Ning Rongrong was shocked by that starting point.
Oscar had always been smug about his talent.
But now, Su Yu had appeared from who knew where and stolen both his goddess and his honor.
How could Oscar allow that?
Rongrong, I'll make you see that I'm better than that Su Yu.
Oscar made up his mind.
From now on, he would train hard.
He would surpass Su Yu and win back Ning Rongrong's heart.
No one else knew or cared about the storm raging in Oscar's head.
Everyone was discussing Su Yu now.
"I never expected it!"
"There's actually such a unique Martial Soul in the world!"
Flender was amazed.
Su Yu's Martial Soul was absurdly powerful.
After Su Yu tattooed a pair of angel wings on Ning Rongrong, she permanently gained the ability to fly.
If he tattooed a turtle shell on Ning Rongrong later, wouldn't she truly have no reason to fear death?
That really was more than a little better than Oscar.
In all his life, Flender had never seen such an absurd Martial Soul.
Su Yu would surely have a place in the world someday.
Yu Xiaogang's heart burned.
"This boy and I are fated. We should recruit him to Shrek Academy and teach him."
Yu Xiaogang had studied theory for so many years.
Yet this was the first time he had seen a Martial Soul like Su Yu's.
Yu Xiaogang had a feeling that Su Yu's future achievements would be no lower than Tang San's.
No matter what, Yu Xiaogang had to take in such a promising talent.
If possible, Yu Xiaogang also wanted Su Yu to give him a tattoo.
Perhaps then his Soul Power, which he had found so hard to raise past level 29 all his life, might have a chance to break through its shackles.
Yu Xiaogang's imagination ran wild.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
Tang San fell into thought.
He, too, had developed an interest in Su Yu.
Tang San needed to make the acquaintance of such a formidable support Soul Master.
Ning Rongrong had received an angel-wing tattoo, greatly improving her ability to keep secrets. From now on, she would be a genuine flying support Soul Master.
If Tang San could get a tattoo too,
his strength would receive an epic boost.
Tang San had no reason to pass up such a great opportunity.
In his previous life, Tang San had even resorted to stealing for the Tang Sect Secret Arts.
In this life, Tang San was even less likely to pass up any chance to grow stronger.
As for the equivalent exchange Ning Rongrong had mentioned, Tang San was not worried at all.
He believed that once he made his offer, Su Yu would surely be shaken beyond measure and obediently give him a tattoo.
Tang San had already thought it through!
When the time came, he would trade a Hidden Weapon.
Given the knowledge of these natives of the Douluo Continent, they would surely be dazzled by the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
Tang San was delighted with his calculations.
He had no idea that Su Yu, a transmigrator, looked down on those scraps of copper and iron.
"All right!"
"Since there was a reason for it, we'll let the matter rest!"
"When we have time, we'll find a chance to meet this Su Yu together."
Flender delivered the final verdict.
He would no longer pursue the matter of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing skipping class.
Hand on heart, if they had been in their place, they too would have given up training to seek out Su Yu.
Compared with grueling training,
a single tattoo from Su Yu could be such a great help.
Who would still be foolish enough to train so hard?
But this was the only exception.
If everyone acted independently like Ning Rongrong,
what need would there be for the Shrek Seven Devils to exist as a group?
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and snorted.
Zhu Zhuqing had not said a word the whole time.
She was still considering whether to accept Su Yu's offer.
Meanwhile...
Su Yu did not yet know that Shrek had set its sights on him.
His little shop had welcomed another customer.
This person could be considered an old friend of Su Yu's.
Su Yu had often dealt with her.
She was none other than Dugu Bo's own granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"Little Yanzi, how long has it been? Haven't you made up your mind yet?"
"The sooner the poison in your body is dealt with, the sooner you can be free of it."
"Why hesitate?"
Su Yu lay in his rocking chair and spoke lazily.
On the very first day he had met Dugu Yan by chance,
Su Yu had gotten straight to the point and declared that he could solve the Dugu Family's flaw.
The price, however...
was for Dugu Yan to stay with Su Yu from then on and become one of his women.
When Dugu Yan first heard Su Yu say that,
she had been so angry that she had nearly gone on a killing spree.
Everyone in the Heaven Dou Empire knew that she, Dugu Yan, loved Yu Tianheng.
Su Yu wanted to steal her away, so of course Dugu Yan refused.
Su Yu, however, was in no hurry.
He had a grip on Dugu Yan's weakness and did not believe she could resist taking the bait.
After all, if the Jade Phosphorus Snake's poison was not dealt with, it was questionable whether Dugu Yan could even live long enough to become a Titled Douluo.
Even if she broke through to become a Titled Douluo, she would still be better off dead than alive.
So Su Yu had Dugu Yan in the palm of his hand.
He believed that sooner or later, Dugu Yan would come around.
As for Dugu Bo, Su Yu was not worried about him resorting to force either.
Leaving aside the Fixed Immortal Travel Su Yu had on him,
Dugu Bo would not even get past Qian Renxue.
For Su Yu's safety, Qian Renxue had sent her own protector, Snake Lance Douluo, to guard him in secret.
If Dugu Bo dared to strike, he would be the only one to suffer for it.
Qian Renxue was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and held authority second only to Xue Ye.
If Dugu Bo dared to act recklessly, there would surely be no place for him in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo did not want to end up with the whole world as his enemy.
And so, Dugu Bo had never intervened.
