Ning Rongrong Wants to Counterattack

Zhao Wuji touched his face, then the spots on his back where Zhu Zhuqing had inserted the needles. Once he realized he had truly recovered completely, he was deeply impressed by Gu Ye's medical skills.

One had to know that the injury on his face had been inflicted by Tang Hao. Even he himself could not recover from it in a short time, yet Gu Ye had healed him in less than a quarter of an hour.

This ability was simply even stronger than that of a Healing Soul Master.

When he heard that Gu Ye wanted compensation, Zhao Wuji politely asked, "How am I supposed to pay you this Martial Soul Blood you speak of?"

"It's very simple. You only need to release your Martial Soul."

"That simple?" Zhao Wuji was slightly doubtful.

"Yes, that simple."

After considering it, Zhao Wuji still released his Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

After all, Zhao Wuji was not the sort of person who took things for free.

Once Zhao Wuji released his Martial Soul, Gu Ye moved swiftly. White light spread from the surgical blade, instantly enveloping the entire clinic and forming a transparent barrier-like space.

Then, with speed too fast for the eye to follow, Gu Ye slashed across Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul. A yellowish, blood-like drop of energy was drawn out by Gu Ye and collected in a bottle.

The whole process was as swift as lightning. Zhao Wuji felt nothing at all, yet Gu Ye had already taken his Martial Soul Blood.

"All done." After putting away the bottle, Gu Ye looked at Zhao Wuji.

"That's it?" Zhao Wuji scratched his head, staring at the small bottle in Gu Ye's hand in confusion.

He had only seen Gu Ye make a single slash just now, and then his Martial Soul had actually produced a drop of something resembling blood, which Gu Ye had taken away.

Yet he had not felt a thing, not even the slightest pain.

If he had not truly seen this so-called blood, he would have suspected Gu Ye was bluffing him.

"Yes, it's done. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave." Gu Ye spoke as he looked at Zhao Wuji as though sending him away.

Zhao Wuji scratched his head again and looked at the special little bottle in Gu Ye's hand, still feeling nothing at all.

His injuries had now completely healed, and there was no reason to remain here. He looked at Gu Ye and asked, "I only know your surname is Gu. What is your full name?"

"Gu Ye."

"Gu Ye, is it? Your medical skills are so impressive. Are you interested in joining my academy?"

Yes, after seeing Gu Ye's unusual Martial Soul and powerful healing abilities, Zhao Wuji had wanted to recruit Gu Ye into Shrek Academy.

Besides, if Flender learned of a special Soul Master like Gu Ye, he would surely be delighted.

"Not interested," Gu Ye replied blandly.

"Our academy only accepts monsters. A young Soul Master like you, with such powerful medical skills—are you sure you don't want to join us?" Zhao Wuji looked at Gu Ye unwillingly.

"An academy that only accepts monsters—you mean that Shrek Academy outside Suotuo City, the one built in a village, right?" Gu Ye looked at Zhao Wuji with a smile.

"Yes, yes!!" Seeing that Gu Ye knew about Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji was rather proud.

But in the next moment, Gu Ye rolled his eyes at Zhao Wuji. "As far as I know, Shrek Academy is an academy with none of the basics. It doesn't even have a Mimicry Training Ground, the most basic facility for an academy, and the whole place is built in a village. What exactly are you thinking, asking me to join?"

It was not that Gu Ye looked down on Shrek Academy, but given its setup, calling it an academy with none of the basics was already being generous. Aside from a few teachers, it had nothing. And every teacher there had issues, especially Yu Xiaogang, who would join later, along with Flender and Zhao Wuji, none of whom were decent people.

Gu Ye had no regard for Zhao Wuji whatsoever.

"Uh..."

Zhao Wuji felt embarrassed and somewhat angry at Gu Ye's words.

After all, Gu Ye had called his academy an institution with none of the basics. Fine, it was the truth, but how could he, as the vice principal, remain unmoved?

Still, remembering that Gu Ye had just healed his injuries, he ultimately withdrew his Martial Soul and left the Hand of God Medical Clinic.

Before leaving, Zhao Wuji glanced at Gu Ye and decided that he would bring Flender over to try again next time.

Gu Ye surely misunderstood Shrek Academy. Once he returned, he needed to speak with Flender about it.

If a talent like Gu Ye joined their Shrek Academy, which only accepted monsters, it would absolutely be Gu Ye's honor.

After Zhao Wuji left, Gu Ye put the matter of Zhao Wuji inviting him to join Shrek Academy out of his mind and took out the bottle containing Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Blood to test the quality of his Martial Soul.

Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul, Grade: High

High-grade Martial Soul Blood collected: 1/30

After looking at the system's assessment of the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul, Gu Ye roughly guessed the grades of Martial Souls in this Douluo world.

On the Douluo Continent, the top-tier Martial Souls were probably famous ones such as the Ice Phoenix, Seven Kill Sword, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Clear Sky Hammer, and White Tiger.

Martial Souls like the Six-Winged Angel and the Sea God should already count as god-tier Martial Souls.

It would still be somewhat difficult for Gu Ye to collect the Martial Soul Blood of these Martial Souls and complete the mission.

"Right, I wonder how Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul is rated?"

Curious, Gu Ye appraised the blood he had taken from Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul as well.

The appraisal surprised Gu Ye somewhat. It had barely reached the high grade.

"Looks like this little kitty will be coming to find me before long."

After learning the grade of Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul, based on Gu Ye's understanding of Zhu Zhuqing's desire for power and her longing to become stronger, along with her background and what he had told her yesterday about Martial Soul Evolution making her stronger, he believed Zhu Zhuqing would soon come looking for him.

"Hmm, I wonder when Ning Rongrong, that little soup dumpling, will arrive. It should be soon, right?"

If he wanted to obtain Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul blood, Ning Rongrong, that little soup dumpling, was clearly the most suitable choice.

"If I collect the Martial Soul blood of every soul master in this world, then later cultivate some subordinates and grant multiple Martial Souls to soul masters... I wonder if it could succeed. And if it really did, what would happen?"

Gu Ye pondered this, imagining the scene before smiling.

He was a man with lofty ambitions. How could he possibly remain cooped up in a tiny place like Suotuo City?

From the moment he arrived in this world, Gu Ye had set the woman in Spirit Hall as a small goal. Once the opportunity arose in the future, he intended to perform a life surgery on Bibi Dong.

"For now, I'll finish Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Serum first. How can a cat as big as her be so weak?"

With that thought, Gu Ye immediately forgot about everything else and focused wholeheartedly on his preparations.

Meanwhile, within Shrek Academy, in the girls' quarters.

Because she had chatted late into the night with the recovered Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong had only just gotten up. As soon as she woke, she habitually rubbed her eyes, then reached down to touch her chest.

But the instant she touched it, Ning Rongrong, who had still been half-asleep, jolted fully awake.

"How is that possible? It actually... really..."

Then, to confirm whether it was real, she went to the mirror, lifted her clothes, and examined herself carefully.

"It's real. It's really real."

"Gu Ye's medicine actually works."

Overcome with excitement, Ning Rongrong cried out, and her voice was quite loud.

"What's real?" In the room, Xiao Wu, who had been sleeping soundly, was startled awake by Ning Rongrong's cry.

The moment Xiao Wu woke and saw Ning Rongrong, she asked, "Rongrong, what did you say?"

"N-Nothing, Xiao Wu. You're awake. Let's go have breakfast later." Ning Rongrong hurriedly straightened her clothes and walked over to Xiao Wu's bedside.

There was no way she would tell Xiao Wu this secret.

She wanted to secretly amaze everyone.

Meanwhile, next door to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's room, inside Zhu Zhuqing's room.

After cultivating for an entire night, Zhu Zhuqing let out a long breath. Feeling the change in her Soul Power, her face was filled with delight.

Her Soul Power had risen by a rank, breaking through from level twenty-seven to level twenty-eight.

Then Zhu Zhuqing quickly took out the small white medicine bottle. Looking at the last remaining pill inside, she was very curious about what exactly it was.

"Gu Ye, can you really make me stronger?"

"And what exactly is this Martial Soul Evolution you mentioned? Will it evolve my Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul into a stronger Martial Soul?"

Zhu Zhuqing guessed, realizing that the reason she had broken through was not only because Gu Ye had healed all the injuries on her body, but even more because of what had been inside that medicine bottle.

At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing's heart stirred.

No one knew how hard she worked day and night to become stronger.

Because only by becoming stronger could Zhu Zhuqing survive better.

As for Dai Mubai, the man who had abandoned her, Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly inwardly.

She had already learned of some of Dai Mubai's promiscuous deeds. Having encountered someone so fallen, if she did not work hard to become stronger, how could she survive in that family?

"I'll go see Gu Ye later. If what he said is true, perhaps I can..."

"I won't admit defeat. Sister, just wait for me."

Thinking of that family, and that older sister, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, her gaze incomparably resolute.

"Zhuqing, are you up?" Just then, Ning Rongrong pushed the door open and walked in.

She looked extremely happy at the moment, carrying herself with a hint of pride even as she walked.

Entering Zhu Zhuqing's room and seeing that she was already up, Ning Rongrong pulled her out of the room.

Then the two of them planned to head to the cafeteria with Xiao Wu for breakfast.

But to the three girls' surprise, Shrek Academy did not even have a cafeteria.

Had they not run into Oscar midway and had him lead the way, the three of them would have seriously suspected that they had been trafficked.

Shrek Academy was completely a shabby academy renting space in a village.
