Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

"By my reckoning, you should only be twelve this year, right?"

Osler suddenly asked from the side.

Only then did everyone remember the Innate Full Soul Power Support Type Spirit Master who had appeared six years ago.

The incident had caused a stir in the royal family back then. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had personally gone to invite him. The Zhong Li before them happened to have the same name and was also a Support Type Spirit Master.

To be continued

Fifty-six, they went in.

It hurt. It hurt so much.

The author wrote about a man and got locked up.

Dear reviewer, I was wrong.

Oscar's Head Soul Bone (Thanks to Old Wang for the donation, what a muddleheaded big shot!)

At some point, the name Zhong Li had become inseparably tied to My Soul Saint Father.

"I didn't expect to have a friend who understood me so well."

Zhong Li looked Osler over. Dressed head to toe in black skintight clothing, he must be Osler of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Did all Agility Attack Type Spirit Masters like dressing this way? But he was a man...

"Oh my god! Zhong Li, you're only twelve, yet you're already a level 43 Soul Ancestor! Ning Rongrong is twelve too, and she's only a level 28 Soul Grandmaster."

Yufeng truly lived up to his name. He had a real talent for courting death, worthy of being the Imperial Fighting Team's designated atmosphere man.

Ning Rongrong stared at Yufeng with a face full of black lines. This guy was seriously asking for it!

She remembered now. Grandpa Sword and her father had been... attacked on their way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after meeting Zhong Li.

Her delicate fists clenched. Ning Rongrong wished she could lift the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda right now and crack Zhong Li over the head with it!

Oh, so that extra girl in the Imperial Fighting Team was Ning Rongrong? Why had she gone to Heaven Dou Royal Academy? And why did she seem hostile toward me?

Zhong Li thought to himself. He still did not know about Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo being ambushed.

"Lingling is already an adult, and she's only at level 35 Soul Power."

Yufeng continued twisting the knife. He truly was not afraid that the Support Type Spirit Masters would treat him differently during battle!

The team had two of the finest Support Type Spirit Masters. One possessed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, while the other possessed the Nine Star Begonia. One provided buffs, while the other provided healing.

Yufeng was truly courting death!

Ye Lingling's face was also full of black lines. She decided she would never heal Yufeng again.

"Yufeng, if you don't know how to talk, talk less. No one thinks you're mute."

As the vice-captain and the eldest of the girls, Dugu Yan stepped forward to rebuke Yufeng.

Still, there was nothing wrong with what he had said.

A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor, and a Support Type one at that. It was practically like a dream.

"Hello, Zhong Li. My name is Dugu Yan, vice-captain of the Imperial Fighting Team."

Dugu Yan held Yu Tianheng's arm as she spoke to Zhong Li.

She was not the sort of woman to change her affections at the sight of someone new. She was merely greeting Zhong Li because she wanted to get to know him. Such a young Support Type Soul Ancestor...

Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had once evaluated Zhong Li's father, saying that if nothing unexpected happened, he had a great chance of becoming a Title Douluo around the age of fifty.

Besides, they were all members of that great faction. Even her grandfather feared that force greatly...

The other members of the Imperial Fighting Team began introducing themselves as well.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Tianheng, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Dugu Yan, Wind Bell Bird Yufeng, Ghost Leopard Ao Siluo, Black Tortoise Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Nine Star Begonia Ye Lingling, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Ning Rongrong.

Zhong Li responded to each of them in turn.

"Brother Zhong Li, are you heading to Suotuo City? Does Suotuo City have any decent hotels? It's fine if they're not that great either. Hehe, I'm just not used to sleeping elsewhere."

After the introductions, everyone gradually relaxed.

Yufeng finally had another chance to speak. Their trip to Suotuo City was not merely to visit Shrek Academy.

Their main purpose was to gain experience. The next Pan-Continent Elite Tournament would begin in around two years.

Before then, they all needed to obtain Silver Spirit Fighting Badges from the Douluo Arena. That was the task Qin Ming had assigned them.

So they might be staying in Suotuo City for some time.

"By universal rationality, the Rose Hotel in Suotuo City is quite good. You can go take a look."

The Rose Hotel was a couples' hotel. Aside from Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, whether the others would feel awkward there was anyone's guess.

Besides, Dugu Yan was poisonous from head to toe. Yu Tianheng truly did not dare touch her yet. Flaunting their affection normally was one thing, but if they really did that, he would not even know how he died.

Zhong Li was not wrong either. Of all the hotels in Suotuo City, he had only visited the Rose Hotel. Everyone there was talented, spoke pleasantly, and did not even charge him Gold Soul Coins, letting him stay for free. There was nothing wrong with giving them a little publicity. And the Rose Hotel really was quite nice...

"Oh? That's great! Captain, let's stay at the Rose Hotel!"

Yufeng was overjoyed. When traveling, what he feared most was failing to adjust.

Qin Ming's mouth twitched. He had once been a student of Shrek Academy and had lived in Suotuo City for many years. How could he not know what kind of hotel the Rose Hotel was?

Zhong Li was right too. The Rose Hotel was indeed the best hotel in Suotuo City, but it was a couples' hotel. Forget it. As long as they were happy.

"Alright, Brother Zhong Li. Once we've settled in, we'll go to Shrek Academy to drink with you. You absolutely must not refuse."

Without a second thought, Yu Tianheng agreed to Yufeng's request and invited Zhong Li for drinks.

"You're welcome anytime, but make sure you bring good wine."

Zhong Li did not refuse Yu Tianheng's invitation. A faint smile appeared on his face.

(Hundreds and thousands of years later, Zhong Li gazed at an osmanthus tree and muttered to himself...)

"Haha, I may not have anything right now, but I have all the wine you could want!"

After entering Suotuo City and parting ways with the Imperial Fighting Team, Zhong Li and Zhu Zhuqing began their daily loafing around.

The scene shifted to Flender and Oscar in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Oscar, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You hunted your third Soul Ring and actually got a head Soul Bone."

Flender spoke to Oscar, who had just finished absorbing his Soul Ring.

A trace of envy showed in his shrewd eyes, but there was no greed. After all, Oscar was also a student of Shrek Academy.

"What?"

Oscar had just absorbed the Soul Ring of a fifteen-hundred-year Great Strength Ape.

The moment he woke up, he heard Flender say that he had obtained a Soul Bone—and a head Soul Bone at that! How could his poor little heart bear such excitement?

"There. The Great Strength Ape's head Soul Bone. I can't make heads or tails of what use a head Soul Bone from a brainless soul beast like a Great Strength Ape could have, but since you absorbed its Soul Ring, absorbing its Soul Bone as well might prove highly useful."

Flender reluctantly handed the Soul Bone to Oscar.

Oscar accepted the Soul Bone with trembling hands. Without wasting any words, he sat down on the ground and began absorbing it.

Soul Bones were not cabbages. Even if this was only a thousand-year head Soul Bone, it was still something countless Spirit Masters would fight over like mad.

Soul Bones over ten thousand years old were even known as Blood River Treasures.

A Soul Bone over ten thousand years old could trigger a large-scale war in some kingdoms or duchies. Soul Bones were simply too rare, and high-grade Soul Bones were even more difficult to come by.

If this thousand-year Soul Bone were put up for auction, it could fetch hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins with ease.

Seeing that the brat had not even said thank you, Flender felt a tiny hint of regret. If they auctioned this thing off, Shrek Academy's current predicament could be resolved.

What predicament? One word.

"Poor!"

To be continued

Flender Returned

On the sixth day after Flender left, he returned...

After asking around all the way, the Imperial Fighting Team finally arrived at the Rose Hotel.

As they stood outside the hotel entrance, they finally understood why the people they had asked for directions had looked so uncomfortable.

"Zhong Li has led us astray!"

Standing at the entrance of the Rose Hotel, Yufeng angrily shouted those words.

Still, under the strange gazes of the attendants, they checked into the Rose Hotel.

"Ah, this is amazing. Brother Zhong Li really has good taste."

After checking in, Yufeng immediately changed his tune.

Although the Rose Hotel was a couples' hotel, it was truly not bad. The food, drinks, sleeping... everything was excellent. The price was just a little high, but they all came from noble families and did not care about that small amount of Gold Soul Coins.

Early that morning, Flender flew back with Oscar.

They had flown there and flown back. Since they had not lingered on the road, the journey had been much faster.

Just after breakfast, the long-absent bell rang.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Zhao Yun, still deep in sleep, hurriedly crawled out of bed when he heard the bell. He had not slept properly in days.

He had finally separated from Tang San. Why would he train at a time like this? He needed to get some proper sleep.

The moment he woke up, he saw a handsome guy smiling at him. He was so frightened that a certain flower tightened, and he clutched the blanket as he shuffled toward the corner of the bed.

"Oh? Why is little brother Zhao Yun sleeping in my dormitory?"

Oscar said in a girlish tone, a confident smile on his face. Having combat power felt absolutely incredible!

Only then did Zhao Yun, huddled in the corner, react.

"You're Oscar?"

"That's right. Never seen someone this handsome before, have you?"

Oscar flicked his hair with one hand and spoke to Zhao Yun with a beaming smile.

"You actually believe that yourself? In what way is Brother Zhong Li not more handsome than you?" Seeing that it was Oscar, Zhao Yun got out of bed. Could a mere Support Type Spirit Master really defy the heavens?

"I meant a person..."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Oscar muttered gloomily. The day Zhong Li had displayed such overwhelming might had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

Zhong Li was not human at all!

They did not continue that topic.

"By the way, Zhao Yun. You still haven't told me why you're in my dormitory. Weren't you sharing a room with Tang San?"

"Third Brother's teacher came, so he needed to take care of his teacher. Among the students, only you and Brother Zhong Li live alone. It's not like I could go squeeze in with Brother Zhong Li."

Zhao Yun was straightforward and explained why he was staying with Oscar.

"That makes sense."

Oscar felt there was nothing wrong with that. Go live with Zhong Li? Hehe...

"Let's go. The bell has been ringing for ages."

Zhao Yun said no more. After getting dressed, he headed toward the training ground.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Flender went to talk with Li Yusong about what had happened at the academy during the past few days.

After talking for a while, Flender's mouth twitched.

He had never expected that his good brother, Yu Xiaogang, would be "cut down" by someone sent by Bibi Dong as soon as he arrived at Shrek Academy.

Flender knew a little about the matter between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.
