Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon Egg, Personally Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Feng's piercing gaze, but her tone was filled with determination.

She desperately wanted to become stronger.

That trash Dai Mubai was unreliable. She could only rely on herself.

For the sake of her own future, she was willing to risk it all.

Even if Ye Feng really made some excessive demand because of this, she could accept it.

After all, she genuinely had a good impression of Ye Feng. He was also the only boy whose looks had truly caught her eye.

Moreover, Ye Feng was already so powerful at such a young age. Who wouldn't like such a genius?

Unfortunately, all of Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts were merely fantasies.

Ye Feng merely nodded lightly and said calmly, "It's not anything that would put you in a difficult position. As long as you agree to join my Star Sect, I can give you this method."

"Ah...? I only need to join the Star Sect?"

At his words, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was filled with bewilderment.

"Of course. Actually, absorbing powerful soul rings isn't some kind of method. It's because the secret art of our Star Sect can greatly enhance a Soul Master's physique, allowing them to absorb soul rings beyond their level."

"As a probationary disciple of the Star Sect, you cannot yet receive the complete secret art. You need to pass some tests first."

As he spoke, Ye Feng took out a black pill, much like the one he had given Xiao Wu before.

This was not some Kick-the-Bucket Pill. He had simply rolled it from a type of black weed. Clean and hygienic—though the taste might be a little bad.

Of course, even if there was a slight problem with it, Soul Masters had strong constitutions. They would not get diarrhea from eating it.

"Th-this... what is this...?"

Looking at the small black pill in Ye Feng's hand, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously swallowed. Her expression turned extremely ugly, and her brows nearly twisted together.

"This is the test," Ye Feng said calmly.

He was willing to give Zhu Zhuqing good Traits, but he could not just give them away for free. At the very least, he had to see her sincerity and resolve.

It was only a small test. If she did not even have this much determination, Ye Feng could only give up on her.

"A test..." Zhu Zhuqing pressed her red lips together, her full chest rising and falling slightly as she took several deep breaths.

In the end, the hatred in her heart and her hope of living overcame her fear.

In any case, she knew Ye Feng would never let her die. At worst, it would be some aphrodisiac pill. For the sake of becoming stronger, she was willing to go all out.

With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing directly picked up the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Unfortunately, Zhu Zhuqing had overthought things...

As the pill entered her stomach, Ye Feng also bestowed two Traits he had treasured for a long time:

King of Strength (Purple): You have exceptional control over strength. Strength +50, Constitution +20.

The More You Fight, the Braver You Get (Purple): The process of battle excites you. For every 1 minute of combat, all attributes increase by 1%, up to a maximum of 10%.

He had drawn these before.

He was already strong himself, so the boost from King of Strength was practically negligible to him.

As for The More You Fight, the Braver You Get, it was equally useless to Ye Feng.

To him—

If he could beat someone, he would kill them in one move.

If he could not beat them, he would call for backup and then kill them in one move.

This lousy talent was completely useless to him. He might as well give it away in exchange for draws.

Zhu Zhuqing had high agility but lacked strength. These two Traits perfectly made up for her weakness and could multiply her combat power severalfold!

Sure enough.

After Zhu Zhuqing swallowed the pill, her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

Because she could clearly sense that something seemed to have changed in her body just now.

She could distinctly feel that her strength seemed to have increased tremendously!

"What is this? How did my strength increase so much..." Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, her face full of shock.

Such a terrifying increase in strength was equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation!

"Congratulations. You've passed the test. Consider this a welcome gift for joining the Star Sect." Ye Feng smiled slightly and extended his hand toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"A welcome... gift..."

Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself. She subconsciously reached out and shook Ye Feng's hand, though she was still unable to pull herself out of her shock.

"You are now a probationary disciple of the Star Sect. The Star Sect headquarters is in Sky Curtain City, and you may visit it."

"The Star Sect has no special rules. As long as you do not betray the Star Sect, it is fine. You may continue studying at Shrek. A year from now, you must go to the Star Sect for an assessment. If you pass, you can become an official disciple of the Star Sect and receive even more benefits. If you fail, then you will have no further connection to the Star Sect."

Ye Feng briefly explained the Star Sect's rules. It could be said that there were practically no restrictions.

After all, this sect's main purpose was to serve as his backing, not to cultivate any geniuses.

Recruiting Zhu Zhuqing had merely been something he did on a whim.

"Alright!"

Zhu Zhuqing had not expected the Star Sect to be so tolerant. Her favorable impression of both the Star Sect and Ye Feng soared once again.

Xiao Wu heard every word of their conversation, leaving her rather bewildered.

Wasn't Ye Feng the Young Master of Soul Beasts? What was this Star Sect? Why did she know nothing about it?

Still, confused as she was, she did not ask any unnecessary questions. Otherwise, Ye Feng might beat her up...

Only then did Ye Feng shift his gaze to Ning Rongrong beside them and ask with a smile, "Oh, and this... Miss Ning, what did you want from me?"

The Proud Ning Rongrong

"Hmph hmph~ It's nothing major. I just think you're quite impressive and wanted to invite you to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Hmm, your Star Sect seems pretty decent too. If you are willing to become a subordinate sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I can actually make the decision and agree to it."

Ning Rongrong raised her chin slightly. When speaking of her sect, her face was full of pride.

"Oh, no interest. I thought you wanted to join my Star Sect." Ye Feng waved his hand at once, looking thoroughly bored.

"Hmph, what Star Sect? I have no interest in joining a sect I've never even heard of. It's far inferior to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ning Rongrong immediately became unconvinced.

She had clearly come to recruit Ye Feng into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet Ye Feng wanted to poach her for the Star Sect instead. What kind of nonsense was that?

"Our Star Sect is merely low-key. That doesn't mean we lack strength. We are no weaker than your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ye Feng's tone remained calm, as though he did not think much of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two Super Douluos, and my father, the number one support-system Soul Master on the continent! What does your Star Sect have that can compare with us?"

Seeing Ye Feng look down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect so much, Ning Rongrong became flustered and angry.

To look down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was to look down on Ning Rongrong herself!

"Oh, our Star Sect also has several Titled Douluos. They're just in seclusion and have not emerged," Ye Feng said casually.

In terms of overall combat power, calling the Star Sect the strongest sect in the world would not be an exaggeration.

Once Di Tian appeared, he could crush every human Titled Douluo in the current world.

Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo combined forces, Di Tian could beat them with one hand.

"You're lying! There are only so many Titled Douluos in this world, and every one of them is known by name. How could there possibly be others?"

Ning Rongrong did not believe him at all.

"Heh, putting everything else aside, the fact that our Star Sect can nurture a genius like me already proves plenty. With one hand, I could crush everyone below Soul Ancestor in your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have?" Ye Feng curled his lips and asked with a chuckle.

Ning Rongrong: ...

"O-our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a support-system sect. Of course we aren't good at fighting!"

Ning Rongrong's face immediately reddened, but she still said unwillingly, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is richer than you! Our sect has far more people and influence than your Star Sect!"

"Oh."

Ye Feng gave a bland reply, clearly not interested in the slightest.

With the Star Sect's combat power, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would barely qualify even if they wanted to be the Star Sect's lapdogs.

Ning Rongrong wanted the Star Sect to become a subordinate sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Why didn't she just fly into the sky while she was at it...

"Y-you-you..."

Seeing Ye Feng's indifferent attitude, Ning Rongrong was so angry that she could not speak.

She had even spoken up for Ye Feng earlier. She could accept Ye Feng not wanting to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but this utterly dismissive attitude was simply an insult to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

"Stop talking about all that empty stuff. Since your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is so amazing, do you have a treasure that can rapidly increase someone's combat power like this?"

Ye Feng glanced sidelong at Ning Rongrong and asked calmly.

"Soul Master cultivation has to be built step by step. How could something like that exist!"

Ning Rongrong became angry again, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, whatever he gave you must be some evil medicine. It might even drain your potential. I've never heard of such a thing in this world!"

"No, I can feel that my physical strength has truly increased greatly, and I haven't detected any abnormalities in my body."

"Besides, I believe Ye Feng would not lie to me."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head lightly as she spoke.

She and Ye Feng bore each other no grudges. Moreover, Ye Feng was so powerful that he would never stoop to deceiving her. After all, there was no benefit in it for him.

"Rongrong, the pill Ye Feng gave Zhuqing definitely has no side effects. I can testify to that, because I also took a pill Ye Feng gave me."

At that moment, Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward to speak for Ye Feng.

She had also benefited from Ye Feng, and he was the Young Master of Soul Beasts. Naturally, she would stand on Ye Feng's side.

"Xiao Wu... Zhuqing... you... how can you be like this!!" Seeing both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing speak for Ye Feng, Ning Rongrong was so angry she nearly cried.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave."

Ye Feng waved his hand lightly, directly intending to send her away.

Ning Rongrong was fairly pretty, but unfortunately, her temper and personality were a bit lacking. She needed to be properly disciplined.

Zhu Zhuqing was still the most obedient.

Xiao Wu was fairly well-behaved too.

But Ning Rongrong's personality needed to be corrected.

"Rongrong, let's go. Ye Feng won't join your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Xiao Wu tugged Ning Rongrong's hand as she spoke.

Rongrong was her good sister, but Ye Feng was the Young Master of Soul Beasts. In her heart, she still sided with Ye Feng.

"Rongrong, the Star Sect may really be very powerful, and the pill Ye Feng gave me is also very useful. Once I become familiar with this power, you'll understand."

Zhu Zhuqing also spoke with a serious expression.

Shrek was quite good, but compared to the Star Sect, it seemed far inferior.

Unfortunately, she was only a probationary disciple.

Over this year, she needed to work hard and strive to become an official disciple of the Star Sect.

The Star Sect seemed even more powerful and terrifying than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Its influence surely far surpassed the Zhu Clan.

When the time came, if she lost to her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun in the struggle for her family position, perhaps she could still rely on the Star Sect to preserve her life!

As for Dai Mubai...

That piece of trash with a brain full of women would sooner or later die on a woman's belly.

"Hmph, the Star Sect, is it? Once this term ends, I'll definitely bring Grandpa Sword to pay you a visit!!"

Knowing she had no face left to stay, Ning Rongrong flung her hand and stormed off angrily.

But she had learned the Star Sect's location. When the time came, she would bring Grandpa Sword to their door. She refused to believe they could truly be powerful enough to disregard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

After Ning Rongrong left, Xiao Wu looked at Ye Feng apologetically. "Ye Feng, Rongrong just has that kind of temper. Don't take it to heart..."

She knew Ye Feng's background. As the Young Master of Soul Beasts, the entire soul beast race stood behind him. Naturally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not even worthy of being compared to him.
