At Shrek Academy, Tang San watched Zhu Zhuqing's transformation with envy, the fires of jealousy burning deep within his heart.
Why? Why wasn't it him who received such an opportunity? If he could have eaten a piece of that beast meat, perhaps his current strength would be enough to suppress the entire Douluo Continent!
Why didn't the mysterious voice choose him? Why wasn't he the one to travel to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? Why wasn't he the one eating that roasted meat? Why, why on earth was this happening!!!
It wasn't fair, it was completely unfair!
The more he thought about it, the more intense the rage in Tang San's heart became. The next moment, to the horror of Xiao Wu, blood actually began to trickle from the corners of Tang San's mouth!!!
Meanwhile, Oscar, also one of the Shrek Seven Devils, watched Zhu Zhuqing's changes with equal envy.
"This is too incredible, isn't it? She only ate one bite, and she's already become this strong? If only I could have known..."
Thinking of his own Sausage Martial Soul and glancing at Ning Rongrong's light screen, Oscar sighed.
Even if he became stronger in the future, what would be the point?
After witnessing the true scale of the world, Rongrong would probably never look at him again...
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, having initially cleansed her physical body and now possessing the strength of three to four thousand jin in a single arm, finished dressing. She prepared to head to the warship's deck with Lin Wanwan to catch some breeze, get some fresh air, and incidentally see the scenery of the Heavenly Domain that she had never witnessed before.
However, just as she and Lin Wanwan stepped out of their room, they saw Ning Rongrong, who was being led by Sun Qing toward her own room to wash up and change.
Originally, in her mind, the Eight Regions were vast and boundless. With the 100 Chosen Ones from the Douluo Continent scattered across this massive expanse, she feared their next meeting would only occur back on the Douluo Continent.
But she never expected to see someone from the Douluo Continent so soon, and it was Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils with whom she had crossed paths during the Spirit Master Tournament.
Was it a coincidence? Or the manipulation of the mysterious voice?
Just as Qian Renxue recognized Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong also recognized Qian Renxue. After all, the image of Qian Renxue that had appeared on the light screen was her true face, stripped of the Xue Qinghe disguise!
"What a coincidence?"
Qian Renxue, who had been pondering what was going on, was stunned to hear Ning Rongrong greet her. She nodded in return, wearing a smile.
"Yes, what a coincidence."
"It's been a long time. Let's find some time to chat about what we've each encountered lately."
Qian Renxue understood the implication behind Ning Rongrong's words—it was nothing more than a desire to exchange intelligence. She nodded decisively; she also wanted to learn what Ning Rongrong knew to see if she could piece together some information she needed.
"Sure, I have time whenever."
Listening to their exchange, Lin Wanwan looked at Ning Rongrong with some displeasure.
It was clear that before, Xiao Xue only had her, but now there was another one...
Sun Qing, standing to the side, saw this and, after a moment of thought, spoke up.
"If Miss Ning and she have anything they wish to discuss, you may go to my room. It is quiet there, and no one will disturb you."
Listening to Sun Qing's slightly fawning tone, Qian Renxue was completely stunned.
No way, we all came from the Douluo Continent, so how can the gap be this massive?
She was currently living under someone else's roof, not even knowing where her future lay, yet Ning Rongrong—on the contrary—had actually managed to make the person who held the key to her future act so obsequious?!
"Then many thanks to you."
Qian Renxue didn't understand, but Ning Rongrong knew very well that the only reason Sun Qing was fawning over her was purely because she had arrived with Zhao Xiao.
If not for Zhao Xiao, Sun Qing probably wouldn't even deign to spare her a glance!
"It is only right, only right."
On the other side, Zhao Ming was still pondering whether Zhao Xiao's words were credible. Just then, Zhao Xiao, who had been gazing into the distance, seemed to recall something and asked Zhao Ming casually.
"By the way, how much further is it from here to the Stone Country in the Barren Region? I heard people say that the King of Martial Arts Manor in the Stone Country has a great show to watch recently, and I was planning to go join in the fun."
The King of Martial Arts Manor in the Stone Country?
Zhao Ming thought it over carefully and instantly knew what Zhao Xiao was talking about.
"Brother... Zhao, you are talking about the conflict between the two Young Supremes of the King of Martial Arts Manor that has been making such a huge stir recently, right?"
Truth be told, if anyone in the Eight Regions could reach the Venerable Realm before the age of 30, in his mind, it would absolutely only be the two Young Supremes of the ten countries in the Barren Region who had been the talk of the town lately: Shi Yi and Shi Hao!
They clearly could have had two Supremes in one family, yet they insisted on harming their own kin, forcibly digging out Shi Hao's Supreme Bone to transplant it into Shi Yi.
If they were going to dig out the bone, fine, but did they not even understand the most basic principle of cutting weeds and eliminating the roots?
If the King of Martial Arts Manor had simply finished off Shi Hao afterward, they would have had an incredibly powerful Young Supreme, Shi Yi, who possessed both the Double Pupils and the Supreme Bone.
Now look at the situation: although Shi Hao had his Supreme Bone dug out, he was still alive and well, and had now come knocking to seek revenge. If Shi Yi won, it would be fine—at most, it would be a break-even deal for the King of Martial Arts Manor. But if Shi Yi lost, the King of Martial Arts Manor would have suffered a massive loss!
It was equivalent to originally having two Supremes, but after the King of Martial Arts Manor's series of "fierce" maneuvers, they ended up with nothing—not even a single hair to show for it!
Of course, from the perspective of his sect, he naturally hoped the King of Martial Arts Manor would end up with nothing for their efforts. After all, if the King of Martial Arts Manor really produced two Young Supremes, the power structure of the entire Eight Regions would likely change.
If that day truly came, the Star Extremity Sect might not retain its current power and status!
"Yes, yes, that's it, Shi Yi and Shi Hao. I heard about it from some companions who came with me. It is said that a certain super-important figure specifically mentioned these two, saying that they would surely be the most outstanding individuals in this world throughout the ages, and that one of them would even achieve a feat unparalleled in history."
Zhao Xiao nodded, his face filled with exclamation.
"I heard that the super-important figure also said these two would be even more outstanding than those three Young Lords, and that their future achievements would be even higher!"
Hiss~~
Zhao Ming couldn't help but gasp.
He had originally thought he already held these two Young Supremes from the King of Martial Arts Manor in high enough regard, but he hadn't expected their potential to be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
To be called a super big shot by Zhao Xiao, what level of existence must that be? To be praised by such an existence was simply unimaginable!
Steadying his mind, Zhao Ming decisively informed Zhao Xiao of the latest intelligence the Star Extremity Sect had obtained regarding Shi Hao and Shi Yi.
"If Young Brother Zhao wants to watch the spectacle, there is no need to travel ten thousand miles to the Barren Region. According to the latest news from the Stone Country, Shi Hao and Shi Yi are going to have a duel in the Void God Realm!"
"The Void God Realm?"
Zhao Xiao's heart stirred, and he instantly recalled a few things.
