Ning Rongrong, You Don't Like Me, Do You?

In the blink of an eye.

Four years had passed.

Su Li had grown from an immature child into a graceful young man.

That cute, immature little princess had also grown into a slender, gentle, beautiful young lady.

Advanced Class.

Instructor Qin Ming stood at the podium, looking at the group of youths before him as he spoke forcefully.

"Now... all of you are the elites of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"In another two and a half years, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin. I hope that during this time, you will cultivate diligently and strive to claim first place!"

"According to the academy's requirements, your Advanced Class must select ten people to form our Tiandou Royal Academy Team. Those whose names are called should come with me afterward."

Several students from the classes below the stage watched Qin Ming with tense expressions, unable to help but worry for themselves.

This kind of opportunity...

Everyone wanted to fight for it.

Ning Rongrong yawned boredly, tilted her head, and lay against Su Li's shoulder.

"Hey, Xiao Li... I heard that Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy will be coming here for sparring and exchanges soon. Are you going to participate?"

Su Li opened his eyes and looked at the girl beside him, his gaze unconsciously falling upon her full chest.

Over the past few years...

Ning Rongrong had indeed grown quite a bit.

But why exactly?

Putting those thoughts away, Su Li calmly asked, "Are you participating?"

"Of course! This is an opportunity for this young lady to show off before everyone. I absolutely can't miss it!"

Su Li hesitated slightly.

He was already a Level 45 Soul Ancestor. Among all the students in the academy, there was not a single one who could defeat him.

Participating in this kind of match was not as worthwhile as going to the Soul Arena.

Ning Rongrong saw his hesitation and could not help pursing her lips. She acted cute and coquettish as she said, "Come on~ keep me company, okay~?"

"Xiao Li~ you're the best..."

"You wouldn't want to watch me get bullied by students from other academies, would you?"

Su Li looked at the pretty face leaning close to him. Her skin was fair, and her long eyelashes were especially lovely.

Ever since two years ago, for some reason, this girl had suddenly learned how to act coquettishly.

Her once-proud personality had rarely appeared since then, leaving him unsure how to refuse her.

A moment later.

Su Li suddenly felt something cool against his cheek. He instinctively turned his head and looked at the adorably sweet girl with rosy cheeks, his heart softening.

"Fine..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly lit up. Delighted, she pecked his cheek several more times, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. "It's settled! No taking it back!"

"Otherwise... be careful, or this princess will punish you!"

Su Li glanced at her, thinking, With those soft, tender little feet again?

Pah!

Not even a dog would eat that!

Naturally, the whispers between the two did not escape Dugu Yan, who was sitting nearby.

Seeing Ning Rongrong intimately leaning against Su Li's arm, she felt somewhat depressed.

But fortunately.

During this time, she had also secretly gotten a taste a few times.

Su Li... really was smooth.

This little guy had grown up.

He was 180 centimeters tall now, no different from an adult.

It seemed...

What they did could go a step further.

Dugu Yan pressed her lips together, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling... Ning Rongrong, Su Li!"

“The ten of you will form the Tiandou Royal Academy Team... As for Captain and vice-captain, go discuss and settle it at the Soul Arena later.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Qin Ming turned his gaze toward Su Li and Yu Tianheng.

In truth, everyone had long known who was most suitable to be Captain.

It was just that...

Competing for it this way would be more convincing.

Yu Tianheng looked at Su Li with a complicated expression and could not help revealing a bitter smile.

He was clearly several years older than this junior.

Yet...

He was only a Soul Elder, while Su Li was already a Soul Ancestor.

How was he supposed to fight that?

But!

For Yanzi!

Even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity!

Very soon.

Everyone arrived at the Soul Arena.

Quite a few academy students were already seated in the stands.

This clash between strong opponents was far more exciting than the usual minor scuffles.

"Junior Su Li... I'll give it everything I have."

Yu Tianheng looked at the young man before him and assumed a fighting stance.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possessed him in an instant, and a trace of violent lightning appeared over his palm.

"Mm..."

Su Li calmly nodded.

Looking at the man before him, he summoned the Pure Jun Sword.

"Show your Soul Rings!"

Yu Tianheng roared, and three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared around him.

Su Li gave them a glance but did not care.

Against a Soul Elder, it was not worth showing his Soul Rings.

"Damn it! You actually dare look down on me like this?!"

"Even if you're a Soul Ancestor, you can't possibly be that much stronger than me!"

Yu Tianheng rapidly closed in on Su Li, the lightning in his hand instantly becoming much stronger.

Violent Soul Power spilled outward, drawing cries of amazement from many onlookers.

"Su Li isn't even using a soul skill? Isn't he being way too arrogant?"

"Look! He moved!"

A sword aura that shot into the sky slashed toward Yu Tianheng with lightning speed.

In less than half a second.

His martial soul was destroyed by that powerful sword aura, and he crashed heavily into the ground like a falling meteor.

At that moment.

The eyes of every spectator present widened.

They had seen Su Li fight very few times.

Naturally, they had no idea how strong he truly was.

Who would have thought... Yu Tianheng, recognized as one of the academy's strongest, would be instantly defeated!

Without even the slightest ability to fight back?

"Hmph~ I knew there wouldn't be any suspense."

Ning Rongrong sat elegantly in the spectator seats with one leg crossed over the other, happily swinging her little foot.

As she stared at that graceful, incomparably handsome young man, her eyes were filled with an intense possessiveness.

After several years together.

Ning Rongrong had long since confirmed her feelings.

She liked Su Li!

She liked everything about him!

She wished she could devour him whole right now and make him her man!

At the same time.

She deeply hated how Su Li had no sense of boundaries!

He clearly already had her, so why did he still have to provoke Dugu Yan?

It was understandable when they were children and did not know any better.

But now that they had grown up.

That nasty woman touched his head, and he did not even avoid her?

He got taken advantage of and did not even know to say anything.

It was absolutely infuriating!

I really want to lock him in a little dark room, where only I can love him...

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard, her breathing growing much quicker.

The tips of her ears were red, and her eyes seemed to shimmer with autumn waters.

Her gaze remained fixed on Su Li. Even after he had already walked over, she had no intention of looking away.

"What are you looking at?"

Su Li tapped her forehead.

That lovestruck expression was honestly a little creepy.

"You."

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Because you're handsome."

"Ning Rongrong, you don't like me, do you?"

"!!!"

The girl's cheeks instantly turned red. She glared at him irritably and fiercely punched his chest with her little pink fist.

"Hmph! You're using that trick again!"

"I won't fall for it anymore!"

"Jerk!"

Ning Rongrong bit her lower lip in a huff, turned her head away, and gave a soft snort.

Seeing that she had finally fallen silent, Su Li could not help sighing that only asking this could activate quiet mode.

Whew~

Useful.
