After Kong arrived on Douluo Continent, he had never attended an academy for further study.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had spent several years at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With her strength, she had long since graduated.
"Our strength doesn't require us to attend an academy."
Kong said with a smile.
Ning Rongrong froze upon hearing that, then scratched her head. Kong had a point!
Kong was a level sixty-two Battle Soul Emperor, while Dugu Yan was a Soul King. The two of them truly had no need to study at an academy. With their strength, even if they went, they would have graduated long ago.
After all, even at a monster academy like Shrek Academy, one could apply for graduation after reaching forty levels of Soul Power.
"Hahaha, don't tell me you skipped class and ran off?"
Kong asked with a scornful grin.
Ning Rongrong: "..."
Kong had actually guessed right. She really had skipped class to sneak out!
Ning Rongrong planted her hands on her hips and said nonchalantly, "I'm the number one genius in the sect. So what if I skipped class? My Soul Power Level is still higher than theirs!"
Of course, Ning Rongrong meant those her age within the sect. Her Soul Power Level was the highest among them!
With Innate Soul Power at level nine, along with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, she was the hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
"Yeah, yeah, sure..."
Kong could not be bothered to say more to this young miss. Arguing about such things with a foolish person would only make him foolish as well.
The direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul. Before that martial soul evolved, they would never be able to break through level eighty in their entire lives!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support effects were all the same. Only the added soul rings differed, resulting in different attributes being boosted.
Ning Rongrong's so-called level-nine Innate Soul Power and once-in-a-century talent were not actually that important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Since she could never break through to Soul Douluo anyway, what use was one or two extra levels of Innate Soul Power?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually valued its Outer Sect Disciples more. Outer Sect Disciples were more likely to become Titled Douluo, allowing them to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As for direct disciples, Innate Soul Power at level six, seven, or eight was enough.
Ning Rongrong was stunned and blurted out, "You're brushing me off?"
"Yeah... cough, cough, no such thing."
Kong quickly waved his hand and changed his words halfway through.
This young miss was a troublesome person, and Kong did not want to provoke trouble.
Besides, Ning Fengzhi's burning gaze made it seem as though he wanted to tie him up and drag him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
That made Ning Rongrong even less someone he could provoke.
"You're obviously brushing me off!"
Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists, gritted her teeth, and said viciously.
After saying that, she could no longer hold herself back. She charged at Kong, intending to teach him a harsh lesson with her fists!
Never mind that she was a support-type Soul Grandmaster while Kong was a power attack-type Soul Emperor, and the difference between them was enormous.
Even if she were also power attack-type, her damage to the current Kong would be practically zero!
Kong merely reached out and pressed a hand against Ning Rongrong's forehead. No matter how she swung her fists, she could not reach him.
Ning Rongrong: "..."
What humiliation!
So what if his arms were long!
She was completely numb. Just as she tried to throw another couple of punches, she sensed something wrong with the atmosphere. The air suddenly seemed several degrees colder.
Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong's unreasonable behavior and truly could not stand it anymore. What made it even more unbearable was that the target of her tantrum was Kong!
"Ning Rongrong, Kong may indulge you out of consideration for your father and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, but I won't."
Dugu Yan said frostily.
"Sister Yan, forget it. Forget it. She's just a brat. Why bother arguing with her?"
Kong let go of Ning Rongrong, patted Dugu Yan's shoulder, and said.
Ning Rongrong stood there blankly, completely dumbfounded.
A brat? Why bother arguing with her?
They were clearly the same age, yet he called her a brat???
She felt utterly wronged. This time, she really had not done anything wrong. Kong had been the one to tease her first, then brush her off!
How infuriating!
But after seeing Dugu Yan's icy gaze, Ning Rongrong temporarily chose to back down. If she kept making a fuss, the other girl really would deal with her. She could not beat her anyway, so what else could she do but yield?
"Hmph..."
After snorting coldly, Ning Rongrong turned her gaze toward the sweet treats on the table.
She could not help looking up at the sky. Eating sweet treats in the middle of the day? And they still claimed they were not showing off their affection! Damn it, she could not beat them, but could she not at least disgust them?
With that thought, Ning Rongrong sat down by herself, acting as though she were not an outsider at all, and began enjoying the food on the table.
"Mmm, these Colorful Dumplings are pretty good..."
"They're sweet. Is this what love feels like?"
Ning Rongrong commented while eating.
Kong and Dugu Yan: "..."
Dugu Yan clenched her small fists, but in the end, she loosened them. There was plenty of time ahead. She and Kong had all the time in the world.
Just as Kong had said, Ning Rongrong was nothing more than a brat, spoiled by Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the rest!
Flender, watching from the shadows, was stunned by this scene.
The young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whom even Ning Fengzhi could not control, had suffered a loss before these two and had even backed down somewhat.
Why was that?
Flender had already learned Kong and Dugu Yan's identities yesterday.
Looking at Kong reminded Flender of two old acquaintances.
One was Yu Xiaogang, the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. One of the Golden Triangle.
The other was also connected to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, though her identity was rather awkward. She was the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother. Liu Erlong, one of the Golden Triangle.
After reminiscing about the past, Flender sighed. "Erlong, Xiaogang... sigh..."
Before long, Kong and Dugu Yan rose in perfect tacit understanding. Without paying Ning Rongrong any attention, the two simply left.
Ning Rongrong was left sitting there alone, contemplating life.
She just liked pranks. She just liked messing with people. What had she done wrong? Why did Kong and Dugu Yan seem so unwilling to play with her?
"Hmph, if you two won't play with me, someone else will!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and thought to herself.
What was so great about them? They were just a handsome couple with somewhat higher Soul Power Levels who knew how to fight a little. Only brutes liked using force. A clever and quick-witted young miss like her could rely on her wisdom alone to...
To... it seemed that was not much use either.
Ning Rongrong scratched her head, her Willow Eyebrows furrowing as she felt slightly embarrassed.
"Whatever. Out of sight, out of mind. I'm going shopping."
After thinking for a while, Ning Rongrong ultimately decided to shop away her troubles!
That was right, she had more money than Kong and Dugu Yan combined!
With money, she could buy things they could not afford!
"Shopkeeper, pack up a serving of these sweet treats on the table!"
"My lady, I'm sorry, but these were all made by that young master..."
