Zhu Zhuqing: Tiger Eye Looks Down on People! | Ning Rongrong Invites You to Team Up

"Hoh~ So now you're disappointed?"

"I'll give you the recording. Practice it yourself!"

Bai Lu found it rather amusing and directly tossed Zhu Zhuqing the mental recording of the battle just now.

"Tiger Eye Looks Down on People. I'll do it myself!"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted instinctively.

As the greatest genius of the current era, even if it was merely Postnatal Talent, she still had her own pride.

Just two Self-Created Soul Skills—relying on her peerless talent and hard work, she would definitely master them!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Bai Lu teased, "Then work hard, Little Kitten Big Smart."

Zhu Zhuqing calmed herself and opened the recording, first studying [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track].

That footwork was strange and unpredictable. It appeared casual, but every step contained exquisite techniques for exerting force and circulating Soul Power.

"Like this... then like that... then this again... and finally this..."

After watching for a while, Zhu Zhuqing snapped the recording shut.

Her brain said: That's it? It's nothing special. I've learned it!

Filled with confidence, she found an empty corner of the Battle Soul Arena and began putting it into practice.

The first step landed, and her body swayed.

The second step landed, and her center of gravity became unstable.

The third step...

Bang!

The young girl climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, rubbing her aching knee.

Her feet said: No! You haven't!

"Have you learned it?"

Bai Lu's teasing voice sounded. "Can you even do it, Little Kitten~?"

"No rush. I'll learn the other one first."

Expressionless, Zhu Zhuqing began studying [Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon].

That technique was incomparably exquisite. With a pull and a push, it could actually alter the trajectory of an opponent's attack.

Her brain said: It's a little difficult, but I've learned it!

She tried using it on a rock.

Her Soul Power circulated as she pushed her palm forward.

Bang!

The rock said: Family, I've cracked!

Her hand said: No! You haven't!

"..."

After several attempts, Zhu Zhuqing stood silently in place, without the slightest change in expression.

Then, she turned a longing gaze toward the Mental Space.

Those eyes spelled out four large words—Bai Lu, add some points!

"Where did all that backbone and confidence go? Aren't you a peerless genius?"

Bai Lu laughed in exasperation. "Does Tiger Eye still look down on people now?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing acted as if nothing had happened and raised her head to look at the sky.

But she quickly figured it out—

Backbone and confidence were certainly important, but sometimes enjoying the fruits of another's labor was not necessarily lacking in wisdom.

Let professionals handle professional matters. I'll leave copying these two Soul Skills to you!

"Six six six!"

Bai Lu rolled his eyes fiercely.

"I'm fucking impressed! Look at you, one crooked argument after another. Who did you learn that from?"

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, merely silently looking at Bai Lu in the Mental Space.

"Why are you looking at me? Did I teach you that?"

"You don't learn the good things, but you learn this?"

Bai Lu abruptly changed the subject. "Want me to teach you something exciting?"

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing silently withdrew her gaze.

She chickened out, she chickened out!

Ending this failed path of self-learning Soul Skills, Zhu Zhuqing returned to the main hall, preparing to continue with another Soul Duel.

However...

The Staff said regretfully, "Sorry, Lord Soul Master. Each person may only participate in one battle of the same type per day.

Today, you can only participate in a 2v2 Double Battle or a 6v6 Team Battle."

"There's a rule like that?"

Beneath her mask, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly and said directly, "Then sign me up for the Life and Death Arena and Gambling Arena."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

"Alright."

The Staff nodded and said, "However, there are fewer participants in these two types of battles, so you may need to wait a while longer. Are you willing to wait?"

"That's fine!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded indifferently.

At that moment, a Crisp Bell-like Voice suddenly came from nearby.

"Hi, hi, hi! Soul Master, you want to participate in a Soul Duel too, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and saw a very familiar Pure Maiden smiling at her, two adorable Dimples hanging on her face.

She did not know the young girl's exact identity, but she knew that she was from Shrek Academy.

She could also sense that although she was wearing a mask, the other party had probably already recognized her.

"What do you have in mind?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.

"My name is Ning Rongrong. My martial soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Girls should help girls, so how about we form a team?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong openly sized up the disguised Zhu Zhuqing.

For some reason, though, her gaze could not help lingering on the latter's chest for a few more moments before she lowered her head to look at her own toes.

Oh no! She'd been completely crushed!

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda? Don't you have other classmates?"

Zhu Zhuqing could not help looking at Ning Rongrong a few more times as she spoke bluntly.

If she remembered correctly, among Shrek's six members, there were a full four Battle Soul Masters.

No matter what, it should not have come to a Support Soul Master seeking her out, right?

"Well... I don't want to team up with that guy!"

Ning Rongrong's face immediately darkened.

Setting aside Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were inseparably paired up, that left only Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the two Battle Soul Masters.

The former was a Soul Elder. If she joined him, she would be placed in the Soul Elder group, missing one Soul Skill and practically asking to be beaten up.

Besides, she did not particularly like the way that Gayshi Yinwa looked at her.

The latter was just a Fatty. He was fucking lecherous and disgusting, and she got annoyed just looking at him.

As for Oscar...

"Ah~"

Ning Rongrong could not help sighing inwardly.

Now she understood why her sect required the spouses of Direct Disciples to be Battle Soul Masters.

Because when faced with battle and danger, no matter how talented you were, Support Soul Masters and Food Soul Masters were truly useless!

Before the day's Soul Duels had even begun, her favorable impression of Oscar had already dropped considerably.

In comparison, teaming up with Zhu Zhuqing was completely different.

Though she would also enter the Soul Elder group, there were differences even among Soul Elders!

Zhu Zhuqing could fight Dai Mubai when she was a Soul Grandmaster, and she had beaten Tang San into shutting himself off after becoming a Soul Elder. Carrying a "Strongest Support" like her up the ranks would definitely not be a problem!

"Sure. Then let's do it together."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

It just so happened that she was also curious about how strong the legendary Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the Strongest Support, truly was!

"Mm-hmm, good sister! Let's work hard together!"

Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded, then went with Zhu Zhuqing to the counter to register their team.

"Please give your team a name."

The Staff asked without even raising his head.

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Do you have any ideas for the name?"

"Whatever you want."

Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in naming things.

"Let me think..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. "Then let's call it Gemstone Cat!"

"Mm."

After completing the registration, the two headed toward the waiting area.

Along the way, Ning Rongrong, who had held it in for half the day, finally could not suppress her curiosity and quietly asked:

"Zhuqing, are you really already Level 39?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

"How exactly did you manage that?"

As Ning Rongrong continued questioning her, she jokingly said:

"Don't tell me you encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing's movements stiffened almost imperceptibly. She answered concisely:

"Good luck. I encountered some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"...I'm so jealous... I want to gain nine levels without pain too!"

The envy in Ning Rongrong's eyes was practically overflowing.

Painless?

Zhu Zhuqing could not help recalling the scene when Bai Lu had first fused bones into her and performed the sacrifice.

Painless?

Bai Lu's power had filled her body like a cream puff, and she had almost been played to the point of breaking, alright!
