A Special Training Method

"Of course, little girl. You have good talent and are well-suited to study under this old one. Of course, if you want to learn this old one's skills, you must first take this old one as your master. In the future, you will also need to find a way to help this old one restore his physical body. What do you say? Are you willing, girl?"

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!" Ning Rongrong was equally straightforward. Seeing that Li Ang sounded convincing, she did not hesitate before performing the Apprenticeship Ceremony for him.

Afterward, she looked at Li Ang eagerly.

"Now that's more like it." Li Ang nodded with a smile. Then, his illusory finger suddenly touched Ning Rongrong's forehead as he said, "In that case, your teacher will first pass down a self-created Soul Skill to you."

"This self-created Soul Skill was created by me in my youth. It is called Eight Extremes Collapse, a close-combat offensive Soul Skill known for its overwhelming power. Once mastered, every strike contains eight layers of force. When those eight layers stack together, its power is immense—enough to break through a Titled Douluo's defenses." While seriously fooling Ning Rongrong with one hand, Li Ang quietly opened the System Shop with the other, found Eight Extremes Collapse, and exchanged it for free.

Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, who planned to follow the path of twin martial souls and martial soul fusion, Li Ang intended for Ning Rongrong to follow Xiao Yan's path. Of course, not the original Xiao Yan, but a weakened Xiao Yan template without Heavenly Flames.

In Li Ang's vision, the future Ning Rongrong would have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floating above her head and the Mysterious Heavy Ruler in her hand. After buffing herself to the fullest, she would shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not mock a young girl for being poor!" Then she would raise her hand and unleash Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler.

Just imagining that scene felt pretty damn thrilling.

Of course, walking the protagonist's path could not be accomplished overnight. It had to be done step by step.

What Li Ang was teaching Ning Rongrong was precisely the first Fighting Skill that the protagonist Xiao Yan had learned from Yao Lao in the neighboring Battle Through The Heavens World: Eight Extremes Collapse.

In the Battle Through The Heavens World, Eight Extremes Collapse was merely a high-grade Profound-tier Fighting Skill. It was not particularly advanced, and once one's strength reached a certain level, this kind of skill would no longer be very useful.

But the Douluo World was different. Its world level was clearly inferior to that of the Battle Through The Heavens World. A modified Soul Skill like Eight Extremes Collapse would remain usable—even highly effective—even after Ning Rongrong reached the realm of a Titled Douluo.

If she mastered it completely, she could hammer a Titled Douluo to death with one punch without breaking a sweat.

Ning Rongrong, however, knew none of this. The moment Li Ang's finger touched her brow, she felt her mind sink. In the next instant, a great deal of information appeared in her head—the detailed cultivation method for the self-created Soul Skill, Eight Extremes Collapse.

After roughly reviewing the information on Eight Extremes Collapse, Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. She felt that her chance for revenge was already within reach.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's excited expression, Li Ang poured cold water over her. "I've given you the Soul Skill, but this self-created Soul Skill will not be easy to cultivate."

"Eight Extremes Collapse does not have high Soul Power requirements, but it demands great physical strength. It is a close-combat Soul Skill. With those skinny arms and legs of yours, if you forcefully use it, the first thing to break will probably not be your opponent, but your own body."

"Then, Master, how can I improve my physical strength?" Hearing Li Ang's words, Ning Rongrong quickly recovered from her delight and could not help asking.

As a traditional Support Soul Master, Ning Rongrong's physical strength truly was not much to speak of. Compared to ordinary people, she was indeed superhuman.

But compared to Battle Soul Masters, her physical strength was simply inadequate. Forget Beast Soul Spirit Soul Masters—even ordinary Tool Soul Spirit Soul Masters had stronger bodies than she did.

"Normally, Soul Power is the best energy for strengthening the body. As your Soul Power increases, your body will naturally grow stronger as well. Once you cultivate your Soul Power to around level forty or fifty, your physical strength will naturally be sufficient. But I assume you are unwilling to wait that long, right?" Li Ang narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of ill intent in his gaze.

"So, I happen to have a method that can rapidly increase physical strength, though it requires some external... stimulation. Good disciple, would you like to try it?"

Instinctively, Ning Rongrong felt that something was off. But after hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "Master, what do you mean by external stimulation?"

"It's simple. You just need to get beaten. Don't worry, this old one will personally do it when the time comes. I guarantee it won't harm your body, and it will improve your physical strength as well. What do you say, disciple? Want to consider it?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong instinctively wanted to refuse. The pampered young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no peculiar hobby of enjoying beatings.

But when she thought of Dai Mubai's hateful face, Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, yet ultimately did not voice her refusal.

The current Ning Rongrong truly wanted to kill Dai Mubai with her own hands and wash away the humiliation she had suffered.

That was precisely why Ning Rongrong was unwilling to leave Shrek Academy. The reason she wanted to stay at Shrek Academy was to prove that she had been right.

Never underestimate a woman's ability to hold a grudge. Back then, Bibi Dong had endured humiliation and hardship, eventually finding an opportunity to kill Secret Chamber Douluo Qian Xunji and successfully ascend to the position of Pope.

Likewise, in order to avenge herself, this young lady Ning Rongrong was willing to grit her teeth and accept Li Ang's training.

"Alright, I agree. Everything will be arranged by Master!" Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Ning Rongrong finally nodded. She planned to accept Li Ang's training in the days ahead until she could master the self-created Soul Skill, Eight Extremes Collapse.

The next morning, Ning Rongrong got up early and ran to the cafeteria. After being trained by Li Ang all night, she was starving.

Of course, Ning Rongrong merely felt hungry at the moment. Her body did not feel uncomfortable in any way.

Li Ang's Whipping Training Method, learned from Yao Lao, was indeed quite painful during the training process. However, after the training ended, Li Ang had also prepared Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for Ning Rongrong to soak in.

The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid from the Battle Through The Heavens World was not a particularly high-grade medicinal pill, but it was extremely suitable for Ning Rongrong, who had only just begun training her body.

Not only could it increase her Soul Power to a certain extent, it could also heal her injuries and strengthen her body. It was practically the ideal medicinal pill for laying a foundation for a Support Soul Master like Ning Rongrong.
