The Forgotten Original Aspiration

···

"Thank you for informing me Uncle Ning."

Zhou Qing was grateful, as this was news he would never have known in Nuoding City.

Nuoding Academy is not an intermediate college?

The standard for intermediate academies requires at least three Soul Elder and six Soul Grandmaster.

After Bu Yi and others Nuoding Academy, the number of Soul Grandmaster had already reached the target, and Bu Yi had also broken through to the Soul Elder level.

Nuoding Academy Dean's Soul Power was also close to Level 30, and he broke through within three years, but it was easy for him.

As for the remaining one, Zhou Qing felt that he, or perhaps Tang San, could work harder and maybe achieve a breakthrough at the age of nine.

The Douluo Continental Elite Tournament doesn't stipulate that only students can participate, right?

"No need to thank me. After all, if you want to participate, you still need to find a way to make Nuoding Academy become an intermediate academy first, and you only have three years."

Ning Fengzhi smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Qing.

Anyone can talk big!

Everyone has beliefs!

But the key is how to demonstrate it in actual actions.

"Three years? That's enough." Zhou Qing smiled confidently, stood up, and was about to say goodbye to Ning Fengzhi, after all, he had other things to do at the moment.

At this time, the guests, waiters, and manager in the restaurant gradually woke up.

Why did I faint?

After asking passersby for the reason, they could only accept their bad luck and dared not say or ask anything.

But Zhou Qing still walked to the counter, took out the Soul Card, and said, "I'll cover all the losses at the scene."

"Guest, what's this?"

The shopkeeper was puzzled, but seeing Zhou Qing's insistence, he thanked him, saying, "Guest, you are truly a good person."

"A good person?"

Zhou Qing took the Soul Card handed back by the shopkeeper and shook his head secretly. After all, he was the one who caused all of this, so of course he had to take responsibility. How could he just walk away?

"Feng Zhi, what do you think?" Sword Douluo asked.

"Dare to act and take responsibility."

Ning Fengzhi lowered his gaze, "If it weren't for his overly fanciful ideas and... dangerousness, he would be the best candidate to be my son-in-law."

Sword Douluo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does he really want to wipe the nobility out of this world? Let's assume he actually did it—"

Wouldn't he then be the greatest nobleman?

What will he do then?

suicide?

Is there really anyone who can give up all the power they have gained?

Even if he gives up, the people who will stand behind him in the future will admire him and push him back to that position!

Ning Fengzhi did not answer until Zhou Qing's figure disappeared outside the gate of Welcome Spring Inn, then said, "Perhaps, this is just a dream he has now. People will eventually change. Just like you and me, can you say that we never fantasized about something like equality for all when we were young?"

Sword Douluo recalled his childhood travels across the continent with his father. He remembered how he had felt indignant about the oppression of commoners by nobles, feeling it was wrong and wishing he could take action to teach those abusive nobles a lesson...

Although I still feel that this kind of thing is wrong, I no longer have that mindset. In fact, I don't want to care about anything except the things I care about...

"The events of my childhood are long gone and forgotten," Sword Douluo.

"Yes! I forgot—"

Ning Fengzhi murmured, "Perhaps it's because we saw our former small and naive selves in him that we let him go."

Sword Douluo paused for a moment, then looked up and said Youyou, "Rongrong has also woken up, and she climbed out of the third-floor window."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and instructed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple to secretly follow him...

As Zhou Qing left Welcome Spring Inn, he stretched and yawned, thinking to himself, "It's really tiring to talk to important people, but this way, Ning Fengzhi won't deliberately come looking for me later, and Xiao Wu won't need to be exposed now."

"Hello!"

Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly rang out from the side, and then she skipped over, "What exactly happened during dinner? Did you have anything to do with me fainting?"

I knocked you unconscious.

Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "I think I was too excited at the time, so I used too much force..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What you're saying sounds so strange."

Ning Rongrong interrupted Zhou Qing, her eyes filled with a strange expression.

"Maybe it's because I've been spending too much time with Romantina."

Zhou Qing rubbed his temples. He had released "Conqueror's Haki" earlier, and although his physical strength and Soul Power had recovered, his Spiritual Power had not. In addition, he had also spent his mind analyzing the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Breakthrough for Ning Fengzhi, so his mind was not completely clear at the moment.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head, not understanding what this had to do with Romantina.

Zhou Qing didn't explain further, but simply changed the subject, saying, "Come on, we've finished today's task. How about I treat you to dessert?"

"Yay!"

"You pay."

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong was taken aback. "Who makes the person who's invited pay?"

"It's my heart's desire to treat you, but I'm broke, so you'll have to pay." Zhou Qing said confidently, leaving Ning Rongrong speechless for a moment.

"Then you have to treat me in the future." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and decided that she should make a "three-point agreement" with Zhou Qing.

"No problem."

Zhou Qing extended her finger and made a pinky promise with him, "When I become rich, I'll definitely treat you."

The two then arrived at a mobile stall selling cold drinks.

Although it was already autumn, the temperature was still high, so there were still quite a few stalls selling cold drinks on the busier streets.

How to make ice?

It can only be said that in the Douluo Continent, although these ordinary people have no concept of chemical reactions, they do have some understanding of the phenomena of chemical reactions, and have even long been using them in their lives.

For example, these stalls selling cold drinks use a cooling method by pouring an opaque crystal similar to saltpeter into the water.

When this crystal dissolves in water, it releases a large amount of heat, and once the crystal has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution drops rapidly.

Based on this, the people of the Douluo Continent have already created a way to make ice, thus making cold drinks a part of this era.

But Zhou Qing asked the stall owner for two blocks of ice and two bamboo bowls. He crushed the ice, poured it into the bowls, sprinkled some pink fruit juice and syrup on top, and then inserted two small bamboo sticks to serve as spoons.

And just like that, two servings of the Douluo Continent shaved ice are ready!

As far as Zhou Qing knew, there was no shaved ice in the Douluo Continent, so he was pioneering this practice.

Ning Rongrong curiously took the shaved ice from Zhou Qing, used a small bamboo stick to scoop up a spoonful of ice shavings dipped in fruit juice and syrup, and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~ Not bad."

Ning Rongrong had already tasted the sweetness of fruit juice and syrup, but the coolness that burst in her mouth when combined with the ice shavings was a delightful surprise.

She particularly enjoyed the rustling sound of the ice chips on her tongue...
