[The second part has finished playing. Take a short break. The comparison of the subject, Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, will begin shortly.]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the prompt on the Heaven Screen.
"Finally, it's over."
It was no wonder they felt that way. Although Yu Xiaogang's past involved Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,
the scene of Yu Yuanzhen beating Yu Xiaogang to a pulp earlier had also been quite satisfying to watch.
But they were in the Douluo Continent.
A place where strength reigned supreme.
Here, strength was the most fundamental measure of a person.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang, a man destined to accomplish little in the future, naturally failed to arouse much interest.
Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, had the same origins and the same talent as Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
Yet in the end, he had counterattacked his fate and become a Titled Douluo.
To the many spirit masters on the Douluo Continent with Innate Soul Power of only rank one or two, this was practically a beacon of hope.
They desperately wanted to know how Yu Xiaogang had turned his fortunes around, and whether they could apply the same process to themselves.
Dark World, Shrek Academy.
Several young people dressed in the uniforms of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived there.
"Eldest Miss, the Sect Master and the others sent us to bring you home."
The leader came before Ning Rongrong and spoke respectfully.
Although Ning Rongrong had yet to mature, she was under the protection of both Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo.
Thus, even though Ning Rongrong was known as the Little Witch within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, no one dared provoke her.
"I don't want to go back. I'm staying here to watch!"
Ning Rongrong shot a glance at the person who had come for her, then looked at the Shrek Academy group watching the Heaven Screen in the distance before speaking.
The reason she was unwilling to leave Shrek Academy was not only that it possessed many exceptionally talented geniuses, but also that Yu Xiaogang, the subject being shown on the Heaven Screen, was here.
Although Ning Rongrong did not show much respect for Grandmaster verbally, she did not truly feel that way inside.
After all, he was one of the current Heaven Screen's protagonists. The Heaven Screen contained countless unknowns—who knew whether some changes might arise in the future?
Therefore, Ning Rongrong felt it necessary to stay by Yu Xiaogang's side and keep an eye on him. At the very least, she could have someone watch him.
"This... But, Eldest Miss, because of the Heaven Screen, the Sect Master feels that the Douluo Continent may become very dangerous in the future."
"Then have Father, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, and the others come here. Just tell them that this Shrek Academy has Yu Xiaogang, the protagonist of the Heaven Screen's comparison, as well as a whole group of geniuses."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand impatiently.
"This tiny academy has three geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power alone, and everyone else is at least rank seven."
"With such a large group of unaffiliated geniuses, can the sect really pretend not to see them when it encounters them?"
Ning Rongrong's words left everyone speechless. After all, recruiting talented individuals was a required lesson for every direct member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Then we'll go report back to the Sect Master."
"Go on, go on."
Ning Rongrong said farewell to the sect's members, then hopped back to the Shrek Academy group and sat down beside Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
"The sect wanted to bring you home?"
"Mm, but I refused."
Ning Rongrong answered Zhu Zhuqing directly.
Zhu Zhuqing was not surprised by Ning Rongrong's answer. Anyone from a major power understood the situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Although Shrek Academy was crude, every one of its members was extraordinary. She would have found it strange if Ning Rongrong had left.
"Last night, I overheard the dean discussing things with Grandmaster. The academy may be running out of funds, and it can't provide a suitable environment, so they're planning to move somewhere else."
"They'll most likely go to Heaven Dou City."
Zhu Zhuqing told Ning Rongrong about the information she had happened to hear the previous night.
"They're going to Heaven Dou City? That's wonderful!"
Ning Rongrong was delighted. She knew Heaven Dou City very well; it was quite close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Moreover, the Heaven Dou Empire's eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, was her father's disciple.
If they truly went to Heaven Dou City, she would have an even better chance of recruiting the people from Shrek Academy.
"We have to tell Father and the others about this in advance."
Ning Rongrong pondered matters concerning the future.
Just then, the break ended, and the Heaven Screen began playing again. Ning Rongrong immediately set aside her thoughts and focused on watching the Heaven Screen with her close friends.
[The film continues...] [Yet another morning, Yu Xiaogang was sparring with his father, Yu Yuanzhen, on the Cultivation Ground.] [Although Yu Xiaogang's current skills were still extremely poor by Yu Yuanzhen's standards, which powerhouse had not started from such a point?] [Not to mention that Yu Xiaogang now possessed a foundation that even Yu Yuanzhen could not help but be shocked by.] [After repeated assessments by Yu Yuanzhen and the clan elders, Yu Xiaogang, having absorbed Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, now possessed a physical strength that surpassed that of an ordinary rank-twenty spirit master.] [This strength meant that, with Yu Xiaogang's current physical condition, he could directly attempt to obtain a First Spirit Ring of more than eight hundred years.] [An eight-hundred-year First Spirit Ring!] [That meant his Second Spirit Ring could directly reach a thousand years or more!] [His Third Spirit Ring could be five thousand years, and his Fourth Spirit Ring could reach ten thousand years.] [Yu Yuanzhen no longer dared imagine what level his son could ultimately reach with such a foundation.] [At the very least, his talent of Innate Soul Power rank one could no longer restrain him.] [The current Yu Yuanzhen could even proudly say:] ["My son, Yu Xiaogang, has the bearing of a Titled Douluo!"] [Smack! Boom! Bang!] [After another exchange, Yu Yuanzhen flung out a hand, and Yu Xiaogang collapsed completely onto the ground, not moving again for quite some time.] ["Hahaha, all right. Today's sparring ends here, and the sparring over the next few days is suspended as well."] ["Rest properly over the next few days and recover your Vitality and Spirit. After that, we'll be going to obtain your First Spirit Ring."] [Yu Yuanzhen looked at the exhausted Yu Xiaogang and laughed heartily.] [His clever and strong-willed son only showed such a disheveled appearance after sparring with him.] ["Got it!"] [Yu Xiaogang, lying on the ground, raised a hand and waved it twice to show that he understood. Other than that, he truly did not want to move an inch.] ["Hahaha!"] [Seeing Yu Xiaogang's state, Yu Yuanzhen laughed and left the Cultivation Ground, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone to recover.] [Lying on the ground, Yu Xiaogang looked at the sky, his heart filled with tension.] [His First Spirit Ring—the starting point of whether he could defy fate and change his life.] [It was also the starting point of his contact with the Martial Soul system.] [Although he had read countless case studies about Martial Souls and Spirit Skills in books, whenever something became personal, it was impossible to avoid feeling nervous.] ["I hope my First Spirit Skill is a relatively powerful one!"] [Yu Xiaogang thought.] [He actually had his own ideas regarding Spirit Skills, but he would only understand whether those ideas worked after putting them into practice.]
