Zhao Wuji practically wanted to curse in the street.

"Fuck... what kind of tactic is this...?"

Facing Ning Rongrong as she charged straight at him at high speed like a raging bull, "holding back" was no longer enough to describe Zhao Wuji's predicament.

With the Rider's Bridle's enhancement, the maximum speed could reach 500 kilometers per hour.

Although Ning Rongrong was not moving quite that fast right now, subduing her without injuring her was hardly an easy task.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects, and its two guardian Douluo were renowned far and wide.

They were not people Zhao Wuji could afford to offend.

If he truly hurt Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin and Gu Rong would send all of Shrek Academy to the sky the very next day!

Other than dodging, what else could he do?

Nothing. As he dodged, he even had to clear away the hidden weapons on the ground to keep them from hurting Ning Rongrong's legs as they spun like wheels.

The overlapping afterimages of the two figures charged wildly back and forth across the field.

Accompanied by Ning Rongrong's screams and Qian Ni's commands.

"Stop! Stop it!

"Your Soul Power is going in! It's so hot!

"So much! I'm so full!"

She already regretted applying her first and second soul skills to herself. Who knew what kind of wicked Soul Tool that bastard behind her was using?

Once it had been put on her, she could not break free. All she could do was sprint at full speed under Qian Ni's control!

With the boosts to strength and speed, plus the Rider's Bridle's enhancement, Ning Rongrong nearly lost control and overturned several times.

And then there was Qian Ni's martial soul!

The Twin-Winged Bird!

She had heard of this martial soul before. In its early years, it had once been able to rival the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Unfortunately, it had vanished without a trace for decades. She had never expected to see it before her today.

The Twin-Winged Bird's martial soul ability was to lend Soul Power to a soul master of the opposite sex.

Ning Rongrong's level twenty-seven Soul Power, combined with Qian Ni's current level thirty-five Soul Power.

After merging within her body, the combined level of their Soul Power had already surpassed level forty.

Scorching Soul Power surged recklessly through her body. Ning Rongrong felt as though she were steaming in a sauna, heat constantly roasting her body and making her instinctively want to vent it.

She had not expected that after seeing Qian Ni ride Zhu Zhuqing yesterday, she would become the one being ridden today!

Now, she could only close her eyes and charge toward Zhao Wuji. She had completely lost control of her body, relying entirely on the Rider's Bridle in Qian Ni's hands to adjust her direction.

Zhao Wuji could no longer even curse. Speed had never been his specialty, yet he did not dare stand still and let Ning Rongrong slam into him headfirst.

At that speed, even if he lowered his defenses, Ning Rongrong would still be half-dead from the recoil.

He would rather fight soul beasts than face this situation. He could not hit her, and dodging was a struggle too!

Just as Qian Ni had said, during Tang San and the other three's assessment earlier, if Ning Rongrong had joined Tang San's Meteor Man-Hammer Tactic after buffing the three of them with her soul skills, attacking Zhao Wuji alongside Xiao Wu, would Zhao Wuji have dared to strike?

He was a Soul Sage in his seventies, with a Mighty Vajra Bear martial soul that specialized in strength and defense. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was delicate and tender—one bump would injure her, one hit would cripple her.

As long as they were bold enough and crazy enough, with Zhao Wuji forced to hold back, it would have been effortless for the four of them to last through one incense stick's worth of time.

"Stop! Stop!"

Zhao Wuji roared twice, then rolled away again to dodge Ning Rongrong's charging assault.

"I surrender! You win!"

Whoosh—

Ning Rongrong came to a stop with a foot brake right in front of Zhao Wuji. Her delicate little face was deathly pale, filled with terror and lingering fear.

Qian Ni put away the Rider's Bridle, flipped off her back, and casually canceled the Entwined Branches soul skill.

Ning Rongrong immediately felt hollow inside. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the ground.

Ning Rongrong instinctively clamped her thighs together. Beneath her light green skirt, there was a wet patch.

So it was sweat... I thought I'd peed myself...

Having experienced Rider's pleasure once more, Qian Ni left with his hands behind his back, thoroughly satisfied.

"Ha ha ha ha, did you see that? A mere Soul Sage, nothing more than that.

"Not bad. Your academy is kind of interesting.

"I'm treating tonight. Gather at the training field after dark—we're having a bonfire party!"

In the Summoning System, the number of Fate Stones flickered repeatedly.

Fate Stone +2 Fate Stone +3

Seeing the contributions from Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, Qian Ni happily opened the summoning interface.

Fifty-five pulls. Seems like I can do a few and test my luck?

My luck in the soul skill pool is awful, but I'm lucky with the item pool!

On the grass beside Shrek Academy's training field.

Qian Ni sat with one leg crossed over the other, staring gravely at the interface before him.

Fate Stones: "55" → "50" [Summon: Gourmet's Tablecloth (Doraemon)] [Summon: Memory Bread (Doraemon)] [Summon: No. 1 Villa Universal Capsule (Dragon Ball)] [Summon: Milk Bucket (My World)] [Summon: Veritaserum (Harry Potter)]

"Hiss..."

He drew in a deep breath!

"Ha... that feels great!

"That's right! That's right! This is how it should be! The item pool is still the real deal!

"I'm not unlucky! The pool is! The system is!"

Qian Ni was moved to tears.

The torment of the soul skill pool's darkness still haunted his memories.

He had truly been afraid that the bad luck from then would spread into the item pool.

"Though they're all utility items, at least they're useful! Especially this one!"

Qian Ni looked at the first entry in the record, raised a hand, and took out a colorful square tablecloth from the system. He spread it across the ground.

"Happy Water!"

The next instant, white light flashed across the tablecloth and faded away. A familiar bottle of soda appeared before Qian Ni.

He carefully twisted open the cap, and then—

"Pssst—"

The sound of carbon dioxide bursting forth rang out. How delightful it was.

That familiar flavor, that familiar kick...

Qian Ni narrowed his eyes and sprawled across the grass, so comfortable that he let out a burp...

As he enjoyed himself, he also took stock of his new items.

Memory Bread can commit information written on the bread to memory. Until the bread is fully digested, it won't be forgotten.

Qian Ni remembered that after Nobita ate Memory Bread, he got diarrhea and pooped all the knowledge out. That counted as a minor side effect, he supposed.

The Villa Universal Capsule, the same model Bulma used in Dragon Ball. An essential item for travel. Throw it, and it becomes a small villa, complete with a living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom.

As for the Milk Bucket and Veritaserum, one can clear all statuses, whether positive or negative; with just three drops, the other can make even a mysterious person reveal the dark secrets in their heart.

In that case, why not use them at the bonfire party?

Qian Ni smiled as he made his plans, using the Copy Mirror to duplicate each of the items.

By the time he was ready, someone had already arrived on the grass.

Qian Ni looked up and saw Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu.

"Oh, it's Little Zhu and the others. Since you're here, have a seat!"

He greeted them, then stacked up a wall of Herring Cans on the Gourmet's Tablecloth.

He had long since stockpiled several hundred cans of the stuff with the Copy Mirror.

That was just how fear of insufficient firepower worked. Before transmigrating, whether he was playing games or doing anything else, he loved hoarding, hoarding, hoarding. Whether consumable items or gacha resources, he could not feel at ease without some reserves.

The three girls wore entirely different expressions.

Ning Rongrong's face was twisted, and she looked at Qian Ni as though she were seeing something revolting.

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat numb beneath her unease. The tips of her ears were red, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Xiao Wu was the most normal one, merely watching Qian Ni with curiosity.

"Are you a new student too?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"No, he's a lunatic," Ning Rongrong cut in with a look of disgust.

Qian Ni sneered and casually pulled out the Rider's Bridle.

"You pathetic little mount, my beloved steed! Looks like you haven't run enough yet!"

Xiao Wu did not understand. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong suddenly went weak in the legs and collapsed onto the grass.

"Don't... not here..." the two cried out, their faces pale.
