Three-Ring Ten-Thousand-Year

Zhu Zhuqing summoned her spirit and directly charged at that Ten-Thousand-Year Gale Wolf, while Ning Rongrong also summoned her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit to support Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong actually felt quite strange about it. Gale Wolves were pack-dwelling spirit beasts, and ten-thousand-year Gale Wolves were basically wolf kings; it was very rare to see a ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf acting alone.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had engaged the ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf in combat, also noticed something was wrong. This ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf was injured, but even an injured ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf was not someone to be taken lightly.

The ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf's speed was a cut above Zhu Zhuqing's. Originally the one on the active offensive, she was now reduced to passive defense.

As expected, my practical combat experience is still somewhat lacking. Agility-attack spirit masters are of the assassin type; if a strike fails, they must immediately retreat and look for a second opportunity.

To plunge oneself into a melee is to have already lost the majority of one's advantages.

Lan Yu's voice came through clearly for both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong actually rushed in as well.

"Zhuqing, I'll help you."

Although Ning Rongrong was not skilled in combat, her physical fitness, enhanced by the green mushroom, was solid and real.

At first, the ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf looked down on this little girl Ning Rongrong, and as a result, it took a punch from Ning Rongrong that hurt so much it squealed and howled.

Zhu Zhuqing also seized this opportunity, and her Netherworld Thrust stabbed directly into the ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf's throat.

However, this blow failed to take the ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf's life outright. The ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf turned and bolted, running as fast as it possibly could in order to flee for its life.

Yet after running just two steps, it collapsed. Lan Yu had already laid out a circle of hypnotic spores all around.

"Absorb the spirit ring. Accumulate your practical combat experience slowly."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhuqing finished off this ten-thousand-year Gale Wolf and began absorbing the spirit ring.

Ning Rongrong watched with a nervous expression. Although Lan Yu had said there was no danger, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring at Level 30 was still a bit too subversive to common sense.

No accidents occurred whatsoever. Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the Gale Wolf's ten-thousand-year spirit ring very smoothly and acquired the spirit skill Gale Claw, condensing wind elemental energy on her hands to form sharp claws that vastly increased the lethality of her hands.

"It really worked! Zhuqing, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

"No, I feel fantastic right now."

"That means when I reach Level 30, I'll be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring too."

Ning Rongrong looked at Lan Yu with a face full of anticipation.

"Mm. Although your physical fitness is somewhat weaker than Zhu Zhuqing's, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring will still be no problem."

"That's wonderful! Dad, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa—if they see that my third ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, their jaws will definitely drop."

"Then you'll have to cultivate to Level 30 first. Don't go slacking off again."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't."

On the other side, in Soto City, inside Flender's little shop, the people from Shrek Academy were all gathered, and there was one extra person as well—none other than Yu Xiaogang.

"Little San, don't be sad. Clear Sky Douluo will definitely be fine. Your training from now on will be arranged by me. It's just that it can't unfold properly inside the city, so we still have to return to our original academy."

"We probably can't go back there anymore. Mushrooms are everywhere, and the villagers have already treated the place as a mushroom plantation."

"Some damn fellows have even been hauling mushrooms into the city to sell."

"That damned Lan Yu! It's all because of him."

Tang San lumped all the aggravating troubles he had encountered these past few days onto Lan Yu's head.

"Who is Lan Yu?"

"Teacher, have you forgotten? Notting College—the guy who disappeared after attending for a year, whose spirit is a mushroom."

"Oh, I remember him now. He's a reticent boy with a somewhat gloomy personality. Is he still alive?"

"Sigh. It seems he has obtained the favor of the gods; he is already a five-ring spirit wang now, and what's more, all five of his spirit rings are 100,000-year red spirit rings."

"Impossible! That is absolutely impossible!"

"I didn't dare believe it either, but this is what we witnessed with our own eyes. As for whether this so-called divine favor is true or false, we have no way to judge...

Our academy turning into a mushroom garden is his doing, but because he likely has a deity standing behind him, we didn't dare make a move either."

Hearing Flender say this, Yu Xiaogang pinched his chin with a contemplative look.

"Where is he now? I'd like to see for myself if he truly has a deity backing him up."

"I know. He sometimes takes people to the Great Soul Arena to fight soul battles."

When Dai Mubai said these words, he did so through clenched teeth, as if Lan Yu had already fitted him with a green hat.

"The Great Soul Arena, you say? I understand. Little San, your subsequent training will still take place at the Great Soul Arena. I'll help arrange some physical conditioning for you all."

"Many thanks, Teacher."

Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San and the other Shrek students to train at the Soto Grand Soul Arena while waiting for Lan Yu, but as a result, they didn't even catch a glimpse of a shadow for over half a month.

"Flender, might that Lan Yu have already left Soto City?"

"There is that possibility. If he has already left Soto City, it's hard to say whether we'll ever run into him again in the future.

If he truly has a deity backing him up, he will surely make a name for himself across the continent in days to come. By then, he'll be even less likely to see us."

"Hmph, I don't believe for a second that he really has a deity backing him. It's not like I've never seen a true god-grade spirit."

Yu Xiaogang certainly had the nerve to brag. Back in the day, he had relied on sweet-talking Bibi Dong to learn about some of the secrets regarding the Six-Winged Angel and Sea God Island that were recorded by Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji was also foolish enough to actually let Yu Xiaogang go. Just the single offense of prying into Spirit Hall's core secrets was enough to justify chopping Yu Xiaogang into meat paste in a legitimate and honorable manner.

Even if that meat paste were sent back to Yu Yuanzhen, he wouldn't dare utter a single word of nonsense to me.

Prying into the core secrets of the opposing party was fundamentally a major taboo on Douluo Continent.

In a certain sense, he, Yu Xiaogang, also held the script of a protagonist, naturally carrying a wisdom-reducing halo of his own.

On Lan Yu's side, relying on the assistance of the mycelium network, Ning Rongrong finally raised her spirit power rank to Level 30.

"I've finally broken through to Level 30! I can finally leave the forest; I never want to live like a wild person in the forest again."

"A wild person? The life you're living right now is countless times better than a wild person's.

Food and water are all prepared for you. To let you solve the problem of food and water on your own—that would be true wild living. Would you like to try it?"

"No way, I want to go hunt a spirit."

"Mm, follow me. I've found a ten-thousand-year colorful feather chicken that should be very suitable for you."

The colorful feather chicken possessed quite good flying capabilities and was difficult to catch. Lan Yu had Zhu Zhuqing lurk and approach, severing its wings first.

Zhu Zhuqing executed this thoroughly. Once its wings were severed, the colorful feather chicken posed no further threat and was swiftly dealt with, allowing Ning Rongrong to successfully absorb this ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

"It really is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring!"

However, due to the inherent limitations of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit, the ten-thousand-year spirit ring did not bring about a massive boost to Ning Rongrong's support effects.

Ning Rongrong herself didn't mind it, either.
