Spicy Little Rabbit

After Tang Hao left, the Sword Douluo, who had held back for a long time, finally asked, "Rongrong, how did you know Tang Hao was injured?"

"Before coming to Notting City, I thoroughly researched information related to the Clear Sky Douluo."

"He had just achieved Breakthrough Titled, yet he drove back several Titled Douluo and severely wounded Level 95 Pope Qian Xunji. It would have been stranger if he hadn't been injured."

"I was also worried that Tang Hao might be a reckless brute, so I brought up the matter of the Crown Prince wanting to take a master."

"Dad, Sword Grandfather, was I being a little too presumptuous?"

"Rongrong, you did nothing wrong," Ning Fengzhi said. "Until just now, I still lacked the resolve to completely fall out with Tang Hao."

"Feng Zhi, you just have too many concerns." Sword Douluo chuckled softly. "But that is also why Bone and I value you!"

Then, Sword Douluo said to Ning Rongrong, "It is only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even without a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I am confident that I can reach Level 97 within my lifetime."

"As for Old Bone, who cares? Even if he got the Soul Bone, he would not make any waves."

"Sword Grandfather, Bone Grandfather will get angry if you talk about him like that!" Ning Rongrong felt rather helpless about the occasional childish behavior of the two Titled elders. The two got along very well, but they were always undermining each other.

"Hehe, getting angry would be even better."

"I even hope he can rise another level. Otherwise, fighting him would not be exciting enough."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

In truth, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were not as disappointed as Ning Rongrong had imagined.

Ning Fengzhi especially had practically decided that Ning Rongrong would become the next Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after seeing her performance just now.

A daughter like mine is far better than those empty-headed brats! She even has Innate Full Soul Power and may very well break through the limits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. If she is not the Sect Master, then who should be?

"Rongrong, does Shi Nian really have a Soul Bone that is over ten thousand years old?" Recalling their earlier discussion about Soul Bones, Ning Fengzhi asked. Sword Douluo beside him also turned his questioning gaze toward Ning Rongrong.

"How should I put this?" Ning Rongrong scratched the back of her head and explained,

"I have always been rather interested in academies. While reviewing the information sent back, I discovered that among the Soul Master teams fighting Canghui Academy, students with better talent often died inexplicably outside the arena, and their deaths were extremely bizarre."

"The information vaguely pointed to a Soul Saint named Shi Nian as the culprit, but his Soul Skills did not match the students' manner of death. So, I had people gather more information about Canghui Academy."

"After sorting through the intelligence, I deduced that Shi Nian likely possessed a Spirit-type Soul Bone of considerable age. Since we were eliminating evil for the people, I simply had the Clear Sky Douluo bring it back as well," Ning Rongrong explained.

"So that was it." Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo nodded approvingly.

Though both of them vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

But did the truth really matter?

As long as Ning Rongrong was Ning Fengzhi's daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that was all that needed to be clear.

Everything else was irrelevant.

The three of them toured Notting City, each occupied by their own thoughts.

A few days later.

Xiao Wu finally reached Level 20.

As Tang San and Xiao Wu's teacher, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who had infiltrated Notting Academy brought Ning Fengzhi detailed information.

After making some simple preparations, the three began tailing the Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Rogue Rabbit.

"We are far enough from the academy. Once I condense my second Soul Ring here, I can go back and find Third Brother." Not long after her muttered words fell, footsteps from afar caught Xiao Wu's attention.

"Who are you?"

The young girl, middle-aged man, and old man slowly approached, clearly seeming to harbor ill intent.

Xiao Wu's vigilance immediately shot through the roof.

"First meeting, Hundred-Thousand-Year Rog... uh, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit." Ning Rongrong smiled as she watched Xiao Wu, who looked like a startled bird.

"I do not know what you are talking about." Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, but she stubbornly argued back. When her gaze landed on Sword Douluo, however, her pupils instantly shrank.

"A... a Titled Douluo!"

Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet one after another. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she instantly judged the old man's strength from that overwhelming Soul Power.

"Hurry up and condense your Soul Ring, Spicy Little Rabbit. We are not interested in your Soul Ring or Soul Bone. Once you finish Ring Condensation, we will leave." Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and yawned.

"Sp... spicy?" Xiao Wu's eye twitched. Then, hearing the latter half of those words, she froze and widened her eyes. "You are not going to kill me?"

"Mhm. Why would we kill you? We are pacifists," Ning Rongrong said. "If you find life uninteresting and want to sacrifice yourself to contribute to Douluo Continent, I can reluctantly accept."

"I will not sacrifice myself."

Like hell I would sacrifice myself!

Even if she were beaten to death, she would not sacrifice herself. She would never sacrifice herself to anyone in this life.

Xiao Wu retorted energetically, then felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. She lowered her voice again and asked uncertainly, "You only came to watch me condense a Soul Ring?"

"You are really not tempted by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?" There was actually a trace of curiosity in Xiao Wu's voice.

"Hurry up and condense your Soul Ring." Several black lines appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. "Keep talking, and if we do become tempted, you will not be able to leave. You are curious about everything—have you not heard that curiosity killed the rabbit?"

"Uh, alright." Though she could not make heads or tails of it, who would think their life was too long?

She still had to avenge her mother. She could not die here.

She could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

Xiao Wu slowly sat down cross-legged. After calming her thoughts, she began condensing her Soul Ring.

Faint wisps of Soul Power spread from her body.

They flowed outward from within, quickly gathering around the location of her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul.

The process of Ring Condensation did not last long, only about ten minutes.

"So that was how it worked."

After observing the direction of Xiao Wu's Soul Power flow, Ning Rongrong propped up her chin in thought.

Since they came from the same source, all she needed to do was transfer the energy stored within her body to her Martial Soul. During the conversion process, a Soul Ring framework was first formed at the Martial Soul's location. This framework was related to physical strength and other factors.

Then, Soul Power was poured into the constructed blank Soul Ring until it was full, after which it stabilized.

The process of Ring Condensation differed somewhat from True Qi, but it could still serve as a reference to a certain extent.

At the location of Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul.

A blank region revealed a second Hundred Year Spirit Ring.

After condensing her Soul Ring, Xiao Wu stood up, her voice slightly timid.

"Three seniors, the Ring Condensation is complete. May I leave now?"

Xiao Wu looked utterly uneasy, terrified that she would be separated from her head the next second.

The Seven Kill Sword in Sword Douluo's hand was enormous and radiated a chilling aura, while nine Soul Rings rested quietly around him. It was truly terrifying for a rabbit!

"Of course. Go on."

After receiving Ning Rongrong's approval, Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Sword Douluo. Seeing that he did not object,

with a whoosh, wind gathered beneath her feet.

Xiao Wu used a Soul Skill and darted past the trio from a considerable distance away, running with all her strength toward Notting City.

"As expected of a rabbit, she really runs fast," Ning Rongrong remarked.

Then, she swept her gaze around the area. "Clear Sky Crown Tang Hao, are you still here?"

Not long after her words fell, Tang Hao emerged from his hiding place.

"I will deliver the two Soul Bones within one month. I also hope you will keep your word." With that, Tang Hao turned and left.
