Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

Ning Fengzhi: Uncle Sword, how am I supposed to respond to that? If I said, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right..." you'd beat me to death, wouldn't you...

Ning Rongrong was currently on her way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located amid the mountains outside Heaven Dou City.

It was not far from Heaven Dou City.

At her side were one Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors protecting her.

No matter how wealthy and powerful the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was, they could not possibly send higher-level Spirit Masters solely to protect Ning Rongrong.

They had other matters to attend to as well.

By now, she was becoming more and more like Ning Fengzhi in temperament.

"Three uncles, you've worked hard."

Ning Rongrong gave the three Spirit Masters protecting her a sweet smile and said.

"Once we reach Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll take good care of myself. You can return to the sect and report back."

The three Spirit Masters were very satisfied with Ning Rongrong's behavior. After exchanging glances,

the Soul Saint said,

"Miss, thank you for your concern. Once we reach Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we will continue protecting you in secret. This is the Sect Master's order."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you three uncles to look after me."

What a sensible child. This is truly a blessing for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

On Douluo Continent, once a Spirit Master joined a family, they could not leave!

Unless one's strength allowed them to disregard the family's rules, they could only await endless pursuit!

At the same time, their sense of family honor was extremely strong.

She had never forgotten that matter.

As time passed, she gradually came to understand that relying on herself alone, even with the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her, it would be impossible to avenge Grandpa Sword. They were too powerful.

But she had not given up. She needed powerful companions to help her accomplish this...

Tang San's Trio and Dai Mubai

Suotuo City was known as the granary of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The cries of street vendors rang endlessly through the city. People came and went, and everything seemed peaceful.

When Zhong Li entered the city, the guards at the gates acted as though they had not seen him and did not charge him an entrance fee.

The major powers were not idiots. That suddenly exposed faction possessed such formidable strength, so what was wrong with granting their people a few privileges?

They might not ask for it, but that did not mean you could refuse to give it!

The City Lord's Manor had long issued an order forbidding anyone from offending people wearing the "Hall of Rebirth daily uniform."

Especially those stationed in important positions! They even had to memorize it...

With Zhong Li's height and bearing, would they suspect him of impersonation? If he was an impostor, then there would be no genuine ones left.

"Boss, this Jianbing of yours was cooked a little too long. It isn't quite burnt, but the flavor of the dough..."

Zhong Li took a bite of the Jianbing he had just bought and commented to the vendor, completely ignoring the vendor's innocent expression.

Vendor: Does this guy have some kind of illness? Do you understand Jianbing, or do I understand Jianbing? It's one Copper Soul Coin each. What more do you want...

But he did not dare say anything. This man looked like a noble, like a Lord Soul Master. He could only listen to the criticism while repeatedly agreeing.

As Zhong Li spoke, he seemed to find it insufficient.

Just as he was about to discuss making one himself with the boss,

he sensed that something seemed to be happening at the hotel across the street. Spirit Masters were fighting...

To the vendor's delighted gaze, he left behind a Gold Soul Coin on the table.

(It's Zhong Li who has no money. What does that have to do with me, Morax? Doge.)

Holding the Jianbing with one bite taken out of it, he left.

"Lord Soul Master, please come again next time! Try my improved Jianbing!"

Money moved the heart. He had memorized the Jianbing recipe Zhong Li had just taught him.

When Zhong Li came again, he would make one especially for him!

"I'll try it at home tonight!"

Many years later, his Jianbing shop became a chain of gourmet snack stores across Douluo Continent.

Whenever he recalled it, he greatly wished to thank the Lord Soul Master who had guided him. But he had heard that the lord had seemingly broken through the hundred-level limit and ascended in broad daylight...

Tang San and Xiao Wu were currently facing off against Dai Mubai.

The location was still the lobby of the Rose Hotel.

Only, there was one more person on Tang San's side.

That person was the little boy who had been stopped by the gatekeeper of Nuoding Academy six years ago.

He had now grown into a youth around 1.7 meters tall.

The youth was named Zhao Yun. His martial soul was the Earth Bear, and he had innate Soul Power Level eight. He was now a level 27 Soul Grandmaster.

After his grandfather became Vice Dean of Nuoding Academy, he too had been enrolled as a student.

Perhaps his grandfather felt that Zhao Yun needed more tempering, so he had him become a work-study student as well!

He happened to share a dorm with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

That was how they became friends.

They ate, drank, and cultivated together for the most part.

Back then, Zhong Li had even wondered whether Zhao Yun was the sort of protagonist who followed the original protagonist!

After observing him for a while, he gave up on the thought. He was simply a native of this world.

"Tang San, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, level 32 Soul Elder. Please enlighten me!"

He assumed an opening stance before battle.

This was a sign of respect for his opponent. Once the other party stated their martial soul and Soul Power Level, they could begin fighting.

It was worth mentioning that Tang San had not learned the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, nor had he gone to a Blacksmith Shop to forge.

Even his research into Hidden Weapons had decreased greatly, and the first Soul Ring he absorbed had been a ten-year Gu Zhu.

However, he had gained more time to cultivate Soul Power, which was why he had reached level 30 ahead of schedule.

"Dai Mubai, martial soul White Tiger. Level 37 Battle Soul Master!"

Dai Mubai was secretly startled. Judging from the appearances of these three, they should all be young.

They were two or three years younger than him, yet one of them had already broken through to Soul Elder!

Such talent was extremely rare!

After Zhong Daoxian and Gongsun Ce killed Tang Hao, they discovered that Tang San was Tang Hao's son.

They simply disdained taking action against a child who knew nothing.

Otherwise, the story would have ended long ago...

"Third Brother! I'll help you!"

The one speaking was not Xiao Wu, who had been the first to argue with Dai Mubai, but Zhao Yun standing nearby.

There was a five-level difference between Dai Mubai and Tang San's Soul Power Levels, and he feared Tang San would be at a disadvantage.

"Zhao Yun, martial soul Earth Bear! Level 27 Soul Grandmaster!"

Why had Zhao Yun come to Shrek Academy with Tang San?

It was not merely because they were dormmates, classmates, and friends.

It was also because Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had told Zhao Yun's grandfather:

"At Shrek Academy, there is a teacher named..."

"Hm? Surname Zhao? Earth Bear? His face does look somewhat familiar..."

Dai Mubai was a student of Shrek Academy and, more importantly, a prince of the Star Luo Empire.

Although Shrek Academy lacked in hardware, its teaching staff was top-tier.

He understood the Earth Bear martial soul.

And the vice principal...

"Damn, it can't really be that much of a coincidence, can it?!"

Dai Mubai shook his head. Now was not the time to think about such things.

It was only a Soul Grandmaster and a low-level Soul Elder joining forces.

"Third Brother, I..."

Xiao Wu also wanted to help, but before she could finish, Tang San interrupted her.

"Xiao Wu, this is a matter between men. Just watch from the side."

He was afraid Xiao Wu would get hurt, but he did not refuse Zhao Yun's assistance.

This was a high-level Soul Elder with Soul Power Level 37. Tang San was not confident he could defeat him alone!

Dai Mubai: ...

Weren't you asking for guidance? Why had it turned into a group fight on your side?

Still, it did not matter. Even if he had to hold Tang San up with one hand and suppress Zhao Yun with one foot, he, Dai Mubai, would still...

"D-Dai Shao! You c-can't fight here!"

The hotel manager arrived late, panting heavily as he carefully spoke to Dai Mubai.

How could Dai Mubai care about that right now? These people had made him lose face in front of those twins.

He had to recover his dignity! And if they really counted it, this was not even his fault.

He really had reserved that room in advance.

"Enough nonsense! I'll compensate you tenfold for anything I break!"

Hearing Dai Mubai say that, the hotel manager stopped trying to stop him. As long as he paid for the damages, it was fine.

"Come on, let me see what gives you the nerve to challenge me, Dai Mubai!"

Zhong Li stood outside the entrance of the Rose Hotel, eating the Jianbing in his hand as he watched the people inside confront one another.

Besides Zhong Li, Zhu Zhuqing was also observing the battle.

Because of Zhong Li, she had escaped her pursuers earlier than in the original story.

She had watched the conflict between Dai Mubai and Tang San's group from beginning to end.

Having only just escaped pursuit, she found her fiancé indulging in pleasure, bringing girls to get a room...

One could imagine how terrible her mood was at that moment.

She had heard of his romantic exploits before, but she had not believed them.

Yet after seeing it with her own eyes, only she knew the bitterness in her heart.

"Is it really so hard just to stay alive?"

She had never wanted to become the empress of the Star Luo Empire.

She only wanted to live.

Rookies Pecking at Each Other

The battle was about to begin.
