Dugu Yan recalled her time at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She remembered a teacher named Qin Ming who was particularly fond of this sort of tactical spirit-fighting.
Every so often, Teacher Qin would even take the students to the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena for spirit fights.
"Fighting more matches is a good thing, but don't take that combat experience too seriously."
"Real life-or-death battles are often decided in an instant. Who would have the chance to unleash so many flashy soul skills?"
Kong shook his head as he spoke.
He knew Qin Ming. Among Shrek's current graduates, Qin Ming was the one doing the best.
He had become a Heaven Dou Class teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and was highly valued by the three Soul Douluo-level education committee members.
The Heaven Dou Empire had no Titled Douluo who truly belonged to it. Dugu Bo could only be considered a guest elder and could leave at any time. Therefore, the empire placed great importance on Qin Ming, a genius who had broken through to Soul Emperor at the age of thirty, even making an exception by having this Soul Emperor lead the Royal Fight Team's training.
"Kong, you know so much!"
Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled with stars, her face full of admiration. It made Kong's scalp tingle.
Is this what they call a love-struck brain?
No matter what you say, whether it makes sense or can actually work, she thinks you're right!
Douluo Continent truly deserves to be called Love Continent!
After watching for a while longer, the two finally left the soul arena with little interest. With their current strength, they simply could not see what was worth screaming over in a spirit fight between two Soul Grandmasters.
Kong and Dugu Yan were preparing to grab something to eat before returning to the hotel to rest. However, just as they sat down, they ran into Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance with Kong, pondered for a moment, then walked over with Zhu Zhuqing.
To be honest, she did not want to see Kong and Dugu Yan right now, because she had been dealt a blow!
Over the past two days, Kong had truly hit her hard. The gap in their Soul Power Levels was simply despair-inducing!
And under such circumstances, he still had time to study Sweet Treats!
They were both geniuses, so why was the gap between her and him so enormous?
Perhaps that's why Father looks at him differently.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Compared to Kong, those people from Shrek—heh, geniuses, monsters... they were nothing!
"Kong, Sister Yan, we meet again so soon!"
Wasn't that right? They had bumped into each other at noon, and now they had run into each other again that evening.
Ning Rongrong had planned to rest with Zhu Zhuqing for the night and return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the next day, settling Zhu Zhuqing's matter first.
Unexpectedly, the moment they arrived in Suotuo City, they ran into Kong and Dugu Yan again. Could this be some kind of ill-fated connection?
"I don't want to see you."
After saying that, Dugu Yan glanced at Kong and continued, "Kong doesn't either."
Kong: "..."
Ning Rongrong: "..."
Zhu Zhuqing blinked. There seemed to be a story between the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
And this Big Sister probably did not get along with Ning Rongrong at all, right? Based on Ning Rongrong's introduction yesterday, she was the granddaughter of Poison Douluo!
Although Zhu Zhuqing had no idea who Poison Douluo was, that did not stop her from watching the drama from the sidelines.
"I'm a beautiful young girl loved by everyone, admired even by flowers. How could you possibly not want to see me!"
Ning Rongrong said unhappily.
Every time she saw Dugu Yan, she called her Sister Yan, yet Dugu Yan did not appreciate it in the slightest!
"You..."
Dugu Yan looked Ning Rongrong over, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was silently watching the show beside her. For a moment, Dugu Yan fell silent.
Ning Rongrong was quite pretty herself, the cute young-girl type. But Zhu Zhuqing beside her made her pale by comparison.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing again, Dugu Yan felt an inexplicable sorrow. She truly did not know how this girl had grown up like this!
Comparisons really do make people furious!
She, Dugu Yan, was already eighteen, at an age as lovely as a flower. Yet when compared to a girl of barely eleven, not even twelve, she suffered a crushing defeat! A crushing defeat without any suspense!
Kong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and was only slightly surprised. After all, he faced Raiden Shogun and Ei Wife every day. Those two were the truly...
Having lived in that kind of environment for several years, he had built up tremendous resistance!
Though he still could not resist Wife-sama's charm, when facing other beautiful women, he could directly max out his resistance!
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dugu Yan and Kong in confusion. Why had they both turned to look at her, an innocent bystander, in the middle of their conversation?
And both of them had fallen silent.
Seeing Dugu Yan's expression, Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion, then suddenly understood!
She had noticed it yesterday, but she simply had not wanted to accept reality.
Lowering her head to look at her feet, Ning Rongrong's face instantly flushed red. Why were they so disappointing?
I'm still young. I'm not like Dugu Yan, not like Dugu Yan... She probably has no hope left, but I'm different!
Ning Rongrong consoled herself over and over in her heart. Only this way could she ease some of her sadness.
After a while, the four of them sat around a table, staring at one another. No one spoke first.
As the only young man present, Kong was the least suited to speak up in a situation like this.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. This silent standoff was the deadliest thing of all!
"Kong, just how do you cultivate?"
In the end, Ning Rongrong broke the silence and changed the subject.
If they kept looking at Zhu Zhuqing, there would be no way to continue this conversation today.
Ning Rongrong knew she should not have asked. Every soul master had their own secrets, but she truly could not hold herself back!
Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had poured every cultivation resource it possessed into Kong, it would have been impossible for him to become a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse in just six short years!
If resources alone could produce powerhouses, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have ruled the Douluo Continent long ago! That was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's confidence!
Dugu Yan had just been about to say that Ning Rongrong had no manners when Kong waved his hand. Only then did Dugu Yan quiet down, hooking her arm through Kong's without saying a word.
"My cultivation method is very simple. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knows about it."
Wasn't that so? Sword Douluo had secretly watched him cultivate more than once! Everyone simply understood it without saying anything.
"We know?"
Ning Rongrong was puzzled. How did she not know about this?
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly knew Kong's cultivation method, why had they not let the sect's disciples use it?
This was a method for rapidly increasing one's strength!
"Yes, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does know my cultivation method."
Kong nodded and answered with great seriousness.
So what if they knew? Would they dare cultivate that way?
Even ten lives would not be enough for them to squander!
"I don't know..."
Ning Rongrong said with a bewildered expression.
She genuinely did not know!
