Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

The next day

It was worth mentioning that breakfast today was actually meat baozi, made from the meat of a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Aside from Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing, everyone else was utterly shocked. The older students in particular—since when had the academy become so wealthy?

Moreover, after eating the meat baozi, their Soul Power even rose slightly. This was a rare and precious food.

Tang San and the other two were also somewhat surprised. Hadn't Dai Mubai said the academy's food was terrible? What was going on?

Could it be that he hadn't wanted us to come and had deliberately said that? Dai Mubai, you bastard!

Dai Mubai: I was wronged...

After they had dismissed yesterday, they had all gone sightseeing around Suotuo City during the day. At noon, only Zhu Zhuqing and Zhong Li had gone to the cafeteria. Naturally, they had no idea what was going on.

During the meeting that day, Flender's expression was somewhat unnatural. On the very first day of taking the students to the Soul Fighting Arena, one of them had become a "eunuch."

Even now, he still did not know how to tell his good brother Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang, like him, had no children. Both of them had one direct disciple. Wait. His disciple's was already gone. Ma Hongjun was on the way too... Damn! What a sin!

He had originally sympathized with Yu Xiaogang, but as he thought about it, he realized that if his disciple truly could not find the herb Zhong Li had mentioned to remove Evil Fire, Ma Hongjun would have to get cut too...

Yunfu Pass was roughly ten-odd li from Suotuo City.

The terrain here was dangerous, but it was not too difficult for Spirit Masters to pass through.

Flender had not said much during the morning meeting, but Zhong Li expressed that he wanted to drag Oscar to Yunfu Pass for a run.

After hearing that, Flender agreed without even asking why.

Under Oscar's despairing gaze, Zhong Li brought him to Yunfu Pass.

Things were different now. The others had all gone to attend Lu Qibin's theory class, and no one followed them here.

"Hehehe, Oscar!"

After dragging Oscar to Yunfu Pass, Zhong Li let out a strange laugh.

There was no reason for it. He simply wanted to torment Oscar!

Oscar looked speechlessly at the sky, refusing to let his tears fall. Dean! I'm just a Food System Spirit Master! Is Yunfu Pass really a place where I can run?

And Zhong Li, what grudge do you have against me? Why are you tormenting me like this? Killing someone only takes a nod of the head—was this really necessary?

Oscar still remembered what had happened yesterday. He was no longer the treasured student of the teachers and the Dean. No food, no water...

"Zhong Li, what do you want? We're both Support Type, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Oscar sounded tough. They were both Support Type—was he supposed to fear the other man?

Zhong Li gave an evil smile, his eyes holding thirty percent coldness, thirty percent disdain, and forty percent indifference, like a pie chart.

"Enough nonsense. Today, I'm watching you run ten laps around Yunfu Pass!"

As Zhong Li spoke, he kicked a nearby tree as thick as a bowl. The tree fell at once.

"Hiss..."

Oscar had been about to say something, but swallowed it back down. It was just running—how big a deal could it be?

Without waiting for Zhong Li to urge him again, Oscar began running with difficulty.

Tree: Why do you always use me whenever you want to show off?

Soon, it was noon. Flender arrived carrying a food box, handed it to Zhong Li right in front of Oscar, and even told Zhong Li not to tire himself out...

To keep his tears from falling, Oscar lifted his head to look at the sky. Only after he tripped did he realize that would not work.

Yunfu Pass was far too treacherous. Running while watching the road was already difficult enough, let alone without looking at it.

After receiving "brutal beatings" from his teacher, the Dean, and Zhong Li, he actually broke through while running! He reached level thirty!

Only then did he understand the "painstaking intentions" of his teacher and the Dean.

How could he have known that they had no painstaking intentions at all... They simply wanted to torment him.

The biggest difference between people and dogs was that dogs would always be dogs, while people might not be people.

"Zhong Li, I've broken through to level thirty! We can go back now, right?"

After breaking through, Oscar excitedly spoke to Zhong Li, who was floating beside him.

"You still have six laps left. Keep going."

Logically speaking, Oscar should have broken through to level thirty last night. But he had not cultivated last night, so he only broke through under these circumstances.

"..."

No, he had already broken through. Was there still any need to keep running?

Still, he did not dare object. He could only grit his teeth and continue running.

"Oscar, don't worry. Once you finish running, I'll give you a scare."

"Okay, huh?"

Did you say that wrong? You meant a surprise, not a scare, right?

He glanced at Zhong Li and discovered that Zhong Li was smiling eerily.

His legs almost gave out, and he nearly fell again.

"As long as you agree, keep going."

Oscar: ...

The scenery at Yunfu Pass was quite beautiful. But Oscar could not appreciate it in the slightest right now.

"Kill!"

"Third Spirit Skill, Wind Shadow."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Fight with Your Back to the River."

"Young Master, run! Fourth Soul Skill, All-Out Gamble!"

"Don't run, you thief! Today, I will avenge that humiliation! Brothers, attack! Fourth Soul Skill..."

Before even seeing those people, Zhong Li knew this was another melodramatic tale of love, hatred, and vengeance.

He grabbed Oscar, who was currently hiding beneath a tree, and flew into the distance.

Watching the excitement? Not a chance.

The secret to living long was to mind your own business.

"You brat over there, hurry and save me! I'll give you one hundred Gold Soul Coins! You fucking..."

"Rock Spear."

Before the man could finish speaking, a massive Rock Spear appeared in the sky. The spear was roughly a hundred meters long and over ten meters in diameter. Hanging in the air, it blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

Holding Oscar in his left hand, Zhong Li raised his right hand above his head as though gripping the Rock Spear with an invisible giant hand.

Zhong Li made a throwing motion, and the Rock Spear immediately smashed toward that man.

The people fighting nearby all stopped attacking and swallowed hard.

Terrifying beyond belief.

Oscar was dumbfounded. Big brother, what was this supposed to be?

Boom

After an earth-shaking crash, that man was smashed directly into a bloody mist. Half of the Rock Spear had also been driven into the ground.

"An ant that does not know its own limits dared provoke a dragon. Its death was deserved..."

Zhong Li's imposing voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Your Excellency! I-I mean no offense!"

That group of people instantly knelt on the ground. They might have a chance to live if they fought their enemies desperately, but against this man? Wake up. That Rock Spear was still stuck right in front of them. Being reduced to nothing but dust was the most likely outcome...

"Your Excellency? I don't particularly like that title."

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone trembled even harder. If they could not call him Your Excellency, then what were they supposed to call him?

You don't like it? I think you just want an excuse to kill us...

Zhong Li did not like that title. Since he had inherited Morax's power, he would help leave his name behind in this other world.

Did he remember those words?

You are one who has traveled across the heavens, traversed the sea of stars. Take history...

"Call me the Rock King Emperor."

To be continued...

Rock King Emperor

Previously:

After the Emperor angrily hurled out the Rock Spear, the name Rock King Emperor resounded across the continent. At that time...

Yunfu Pass was not far from Suotuo City to begin with. As long as one was not blind, they could see that sky-covering Rock Spear.

When some factions arrived, they happened to hear Zhong Li announce the title "Rock King Emperor" from afar.

Unfortunately, no one saw Zhong Li's appearance.

That group of people fighting to the death had not seen Zhong Li's face either. It had been blocked by the enormous Rock Spear.

Spirit Hall

Bibi Dong's feelings were complicated. Why had those powerful figures not appeared before? Why did they only show up after she had decided to overthrow the two great empires and Spirit Hall?

That faction, and the Rock King Emperor who had appeared outside Suotuo City...

She had sent Ghost to investigate, but the results Ghost brought back made even her, the Pope, feel a chill down her spine.

In terms of attack range and power alone, it was nothing special. She could do that herself.

But the Rock Spear that still stood tall there was not something she could shake.

That weight—forget her. Even that old bastard Qian Daoliu could never budge it...

(Most Title Douluo could not even bear one hundred thousand jin. Even after becoming gods, they only possessed a few million jin of strength.)

Back to the main topic

After the trip to Yunfu Pass, Oscar's attitude toward Zhong Li became even more sycophantic than a bootlicker's.

Oscar buried the matter deep in his heart. He neither spoke of it, asked about it, nor mentioned it.

When Flender asked, he merely said that they had returned before the battle broke out there. They had not seen anything...

Flender had never considered whether it was Zhong Li and Oscar. How could two little children unleash an attack of that level?

Besides, what could two Support Type Spirit Masters do? In a situation like that, they would not even have time to run away. How could they possibly know anything...

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes did light up, though. They had guessed it, but neither said anything...

Another day full of hope

"One day, I, Tang San, will become an existence like that!"

Ever since Tang San had caught a distant glimpse of the Rock Spear at Yunfu Pass, he had longed for it immensely. He swore in his heart that he would definitely become such an existence.

After murmuring those words, he began cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. His incomplete body could not affect his will.

It was only a matter of two or three cun, after all.

"Once I finish cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, I'll go take a look at the Blacksmith Shop in Suotuo City. If I had possessed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow that day, I wouldn't have been beaten into this state by that person."

Only after Tang San became a eunuch did he remember the benefits of Hidden Weapons and decide to forge them.

All these years, he had been focused solely on cultivation and had not even forged the most basic Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect. Could he still be considered a disciple of the Tang Sect...

Zhao Yun had been terrified these past few days. He felt that his Third Brother had changed far too much. It seemed Tang San was becoming increasingly attentive toward him...

Every night, he did not dare sleep. He could only sit cross-legged and cultivate.
