Douluo: Selling Ning Rongrong Mission Card, She Dropped Out of School

Furthermore, within the academy, Tang San and Xiao Wu were vaguely a pair, as were Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing everyone else in relationships, Oscar felt a sense of imbalance in his heart.

That was why he had been pestering Ning Rongrong, trying to pursue her in an attempt to win her over.

But now, Oscar realized that Ning Rongrong did not like him at all.

She was a tree not worth Oscar giving up the entire forest for.

Moreover, his self-esteem would not allow Oscar to become a sycophant or a servant by Ning Rongrong's side.

Therefore, Oscar shook his head and said, "Rongrong, Mubai is my good brother; I cannot possibly hurt him."

Dai Mubai revealed a wicked smirk and said, "Little Ao, this Ning Rongrong is not a good woman. She's covered in thorns—she'll prick you! There are plenty of good women out there; we don't need to circle around her like sycophants."

"Boss Dai, you're right."

Oscar nodded in agreement.

If you can't have it, then slander it, then destroy it!

He then turned his head to look at Ning Rongrong and launched into a long-winded lecture: "Rongrong, since you want to leave Shrek Academy, then go ahead; we won't force you. Besides, we are all classmates; there is no need for you to treat us like servants. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is indeed wealthy, but money isn't everything. Even if you have all the gold soul coins in the world, you still can't buy me, Boss Dai, or Tang San, or Hongjun to serve you like servants."

After finishing, Oscar said to Dai Mubai, "Boss Dai, give me and Little San some face and let this matter pass. We're all classmates; fighting isn't good."

Dai Mubai chuckled and said, "Little Ao, it seems you still have a soft spot for this thorny woman."

"Fine. Little San, Little Ao, for your sake, I won't lay a hand on her."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai cast a cold, wicked glance at Ning Rongrong and added:

"You better remember this: if it weren't for Zhuqing stepping in to stop me and Little San and Little Ao coming forward to mediate, you would already be a cripple!"

"And this isn't your home, so don't provoke me again. Otherwise, I don't care what your status is. Never mind the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect—even if it were the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I would still beat you just the same!"

"Little Ao, let's go."

Having dropped these words, Dai Mubai took long strides and headed straight into the academy.

"Boss Dai, calm down, don't be angry!"

Oscar followed him like a lackey, offering words of comfort.

A flash of disgust crossed Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes as she muttered, "Not a shred of backbone—hardly a man!"

Dai Mubai and Oscar walked away.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were also preparing to leave.

"Ning Rongrong, this is Shrek Academy, not the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. If you still want to stay, you should think carefully and adjust your arrogant mindset. Everyone here is equal."

Tang San said in a lukewarm tone.

Beside him, Xiao Wu offered comfort: "Dai Mubai has a fiery temper, and he's in a bad mood today. Rongrong, don't take this to heart; we are all the best of classmates."

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded faintly, offering only a non-committal sound.

"Xiao Wu, let's go," Tang San said.

Afterward, Tang San and Xiao Wu also departed.

On the scene.

Only Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing remained.

With no one else around, the moonlight was cold, and even the breeze carried a hint of chill.

Once the matter was over, the coldness returned to Zhu Zhuqing's alluring face. Without a word, she turned and walked toward the academy gates.

"Wait, Zhuqing, I haven't thanked you for stepping in to help me yet!"

Ning Rongrong called out from behind.

Zhu Zhuqing replied emotionlessly, "No need to thank me. I just couldn't stand Dai Mubai's conduct."

Having said that, she continued walking forward.

The cold moonlight stretched Zhu Zhuqing's silhouette, and she radiated an icy, deathly aura that made one feel somewhat uneasy.

"Wait, Zhuqing!" Ning Rongrong called out again, running forward to grab her hand. "I have something else to tell you."

Feeling the warmth from Ning Rongrong's palm, Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment before pulling her hand away.

"What is it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Zhuqing, didn't you say that as long as it allowed you to become strong, you would execute any task immediately?"

A flash of cunning crossed Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing with complete sincerity.

"Yes, I said that. Why?"

"Zhuqing, if I told you that I have a way to make you strong in a short time—to surpass Dai Mubai within a month—would you be willing to become my good friend?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing froze once more.

She had assumed that Ning Rongrong wanted to use money and influence to make her act like a servant or a subordinate under her command.

As it turned out.

The words "good friend" spoken by Ning Rongrong caused Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body to tense, catching her off guard.

Zhu Zhuqing was a pitiful soul, lonely and devoid of friends.

Furthermore, she believed her very birth was a mistake, and that she was destined to live out her life in agony.

Yet, Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to yield; she wanted to fight, to defy the fate already laid out for her by her family.

That was why she had traveled from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy in Soto City, within the Heaven Dou Empire, seeking out Dai Mubai to see if she could change anything.

But Dai Mubai's performance had been truly disappointing, chilling Zhu Zhuqing's heart even further.

Already lonely, Zhu Zhuqing felt even more isolated than before.

Now, hearing those three precious words, "good friend," she felt a stir within her heart.

Friendship was a rare and precious thing she longed to possess.

However, on the surface, Zhu Zhuqing remained cold and composed, revealing nothing.

Intrigued, she asked calmly, "Make me stronger? How do you intend to do that?"

"Although Dai Mubai is a scoundrel, he is over three years older than me, and his spirit power is as high as level thirty-seven—a full ten levels above my current level twenty-seven."

"While I am progressing, he is progressing as well. Even if I were to cultivate day and night without rest, it would be impossible for me to surpass him within three years."

"How much less likely is it to surpass him within a single month?"

Zhu Zhuqing stated a fact as she questioned her.

There was indeed a significant gap between her and Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing believed there was no way for her to surpass Dai Mubai in a month.

"Zhuqing, don't belittle yourself!" Ning Rongrong said solemnly. "Perhaps you cannot do it alone, but with my help, you can absolutely surpass that irritable tiger in a month!"

A flicker of suspicion crossed Zhu Zhuqing's sexy face as she asked, "Your help? Rongrong, what kind of method do you have?"

"I have my own ways, but the prerequisite is that you must withdraw from Shrek Academy and leave with me. Are you willing?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were firm as she replied decisively, "I came to Shrek Academy to become stronger. If you can help me grow and strengthen faster, I will withdraw from Shrek Academy without hesitation!"

"Good!" Ning Rongrong said heavily. "Zhuqing, that is exactly what I was waiting to hear."

After speaking, she brushed her slender, beautiful fingers over the gemstone on her belt, channeled a wisp of spirit power into it, and retrieved a small glass bottle.

"This is?" Zhu Zhuqing looked over at the small bottle containing a yellow liquid; it seemed rather unusual.

Ning Rongrong explained carefully, "It is called a Great Spirit Master Grade Experience Potion. It is only suitable for Spirit Masters at the Great Spirit Master level. One bottle is equivalent to one full level, and it takes effect immediately!"

Zhu Zhuqing listened while scrutinizing the potion, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"Zhuqing, you don't think this is poison and that I'm trying to harm you, do you?" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at her.

Zhu Zhuqing did not respond, but the hesitation in her beautiful eyes said it all.

"Come on, Zhuqing, am I really that bad?" Ning Rongrong asked, sounding a bit aggrieved.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was stern as she said, "Rongrong, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this is all so sudden. If you have such a good item, why not keep it for yourself? With it, shouldn't you have broken through to level thirty before Tang San and Xiao Wu? There are too many things here that puzzle me."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Good, Zhuqing. I am very satisfied and reassured by your caution. It shows you have a sharp mind and aren't just a simple-minded girl; you are worthy of being my good friend!"

"Rongrong, get to the point!" Zhu Zhuqing said with a calm expression. "Prove that this experience potion is non-toxic and can truly raise a Spirit Master's level, and I will believe you!"

"Fine, Zhuqing. I will tell you first: I have consumed four bottles of the experience potion, and my spirit power is now at level thirty. Furthermore, my Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has transformed into an Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

"Is that enough to prove that what I've said is sincere?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes trembled, and she said with surprise and shock, "Rongrong, release your spirit and let me see. Also, I will sense the strength of the spirit power fluctuations on you."

"Alright, watch closely!" Ning Rongrong nodded.

At this moment, there was no one around, and the area was desolate, so there was no need to worry about being seen by outsiders.

"Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

Spirit power surged within Ning Rongrong as she extended her right hand and summoned her spirit.

Colorful light flickered and converged on her right palm, where an eight-colored pagoda, over a foot tall, stood tall.

The treasure light shimmered, exuding an air of nobility, and Ning Rongrong looked ethereal and beautiful.

Ning Rongrong held her head high and said with a touch of pride, "Zhuqing, I've suddenly gone blind and can't see. Help me count how many levels my Glazed Pagoda has!"

Zhu Zhuqing began to count upon hearing this, murmuring, "One, two, three..., eight!!"

"Eight levels!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her sexy little lips parted so wide it looked as if a baby's fist could fit inside.

She truly had not expected that in the span of a single night, Ning Rongrong had actually transformed her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into an Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

This was simply inconceivable!

And there was something even more unbelievable!

A beautiful smile, one that made the very flowers lose their luster, bloomed on Ning Rongrong's pretty face as she said, "Zhuqing, feel my soul power fluctuations again. Is it level thirty?"

"Let me feel."

Zhu Zhuqing replied, moving closer to Ning Rongrong to carefully sense the soul power fluctuations emanating from her.

"This... this really is level thirty!"

Zhu Zhuqing indeed felt that the soul power fluctuations on Rongrong were far stronger than her own.

Her sexy little mouth fell open, and her jaw felt as if it had slammed right into the ground!

Level thirty!

Ning Rongrong had actually reached a cultivation level of thirty!!

An Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda combined with level thirty soul power.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood in her heart: No wonder Rongrong looked so confident, declaring that she wanted to quit Shrek Academy!

Watching the marvelous expression on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Ning Rongrong felt very satisfied and chuckled to herself.

"How about it, Zhuqing? I didn't lie to you, did I! Everything I said was the truth! Does this prove the authenticity of this bottle of Experience Water now?"
