After all eight introduced themselves, Ning Fengzhi praised each of them.
"Lin Hao! Rongrong will be enrolling here starting today. I hope you'll be patient with her from now on!"
"Of course, Uncle Ning!"
The two chatted idly for a little longer before Ning Fengzhi left with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, leaving Ning Rongrong standing there all alone.
"All right! You ten, continue your Gravity Suppression training. I'll show our new student Ning Rongrong around and introduce her to the academy. She'll join you for Gravity Suppression training this afternoon."
After saying that, Academic Director Shu Yin prepared to take Ning Rongrong on a tour of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"All right, Teacher Shu Yin. See you this afternoon, Rongrong!"
Once Teacher Shu Yin had left with Ning Rongrong, Teacher Tai Nuo activated his fifth soul skill again.
"All right! Back to training."
The morning passed quickly.
Gravity Suppression training began at ten in the morning and ended at noon. By the time it finished, every student taking part was utterly exhausted, and it was just in time for lunch.
This allowed them to train their bodies to the fullest.
After Gravity Suppression training ended, the ten of them headed to the cafeteria together.
As soon as they arrived, they spotted Ning Rongrong at the entrance, where she had already been waiting for quite some time.
Before coming here, Ning Fengzhi had specifically instructed Ning Rongrong to get along well with Lin Hao and the others.
Since they would be training together that afternoon, treating them to a meal was the best way for the little princess of the richest sect on the continent to build a rapport.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Ning Rongrong. We'll be doing Gravity Suppression training together this afternoon, and since it's lunchtime, let me treat you all to a meal!"
"Please be patient with me from now on."
Lin Hao nodded and said with a smile,
"Sure! Since you're treating, I won't hold back. Dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder-bring it all out!"
Ning Rongrong replied with a bright smile,
"No problem! As long as the cafeteria has it, I'll buy it!"
They entered the cafeteria, found a private room, and ordered their food. The four girls sat together, laughing and chatting, and Ning Rongrong quickly became part of the group.
After the lavish feast Ning Rongrong treated them to, their afternoon Gravity Suppression training would run from three to five.
The rest of their time was free. Usually, Lin Hao and Xiao Wu would meditate and cultivate during this period, continuing until three.
This time, however, Ning Rongrong invited Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu out shopping in Heaven Dou City.
Lin Hao did not follow them. He certainly did not believe Ning Fengzhi would have made no arrangements; naturally, a Soul Sage or even a Soul Douluo would be protecting Ning Rongrong.
Besides, as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong was known to almost every major faction in Heaven Dou City, so there was even less reason to worry about danger.
Lin Hao returned to his dormitory to cultivate diligently. He was level thirty-eight now and wanted to reach level forty as soon as possible.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Those ten days of Gravity Suppression training wore Ning Rongrong out. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had a sect master for a father and two Titled Douluo grandfathers, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
If Ning Rongrong wanted wind, she got wind; if she wanted rain, she got rain. When had she ever suffered like this? On the first day, she gritted her teeth and held on to save face, then forced herself to keep going on the second.
By the third day, she had begun to slack off. But after a stern lecture from Lin Hao and some comforting words from Xiao Wu, she came to accept reality.
It was just as Lin Hao had said: as a support-type Soul Master with spindly arms and legs who complained of exhaustion after running a few steps, if an enemy ambushed her outside, she would not even know how she had died.
Besides, seeing Oscar and Jiang Zhu, both support-types themselves, working hard at Gravity Suppression training, along with Xiao Wu's persuasion, prompted Ning Rongrong to start training seriously as well.
She had made some progress over the past few days, increasing her Gravity Suppression load from twice her own body weight to three times.
That deserved praise.
One day, the breeze was gentle, the sun was bright, and not a cloud marred the vast sky.
Tang San, whom Tang Hao had taken away, finally returned.
Lin Hao and Xiao Wu met Tang San at the entrance to Blue Tyrant Academy, and after exchanging greetings,
they learned that Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had fully awakened. Not only had he obtained a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring and absorbed a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, but he had also acquired the Blue Silver Domain.
His fourth soul ring was also one capable of growing.
It was currently twenty thousand years old, and raising it to a red soul ring of a hundred thousand years or more would be no problem in the future.
Tang San's fourth soul skill was the same as his fifth soul skill in the original story: the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
During this time, Tang San had also learned about his origins and discovered that his mother had been a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, who had taken human form.
Tang San now had a cheerful disposition. Even after learning that the previous Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, had driven his mother to her death, he could not bring himself to hate Spirit Hall.
After all, the mastermind, Qian Xunji, was already dead. Moreover, over the years, Tang San had seen Spirit Hall send Soul Masters into the countryside annually to help children of the proper age awaken their martial souls, as well as provide Soul Master subsidies. Even if he wanted to hate them, he could not.
Tang San's greatest wish now was to bring his mother, Ah Yin, back to life.
While he was following Lin Hao and Xiao Wu to the teaching building to complete his enrollment paperwork,
Tang San posed a question to Lin Hao.
"Brother Hao! What realm do you think a Soul Master needs to reach to bring someone back to life?"
Lin Hao glanced at Tang San, knowing whom he wanted to resurrect.
"Well! There are many kinds of resurrection. For example, someone might have a body but no soul, or a soul but no body. Those two kinds are very simple.
But if both their soul and body have been destroyed, you'd need to reach god level at the very least to resurrect them."
After hearing Lin Hao's explanation, Tang San continued, "What if they have both a body and a soul, but both are extremely weak? What should we do?"
Lin Hao said, "Isn't that a question you already know the answer to, Xiao San? We read those books from Yu Xiaogang together. Do I really need to explain? If the body's weak, increase its vitality. Vitality is all-purpose-not only can it strengthen the body, it can also strengthen the soul."
"As long as there's enough vitality, even if the body has been reduced to a single drop of blood, with only a wisp of soul clinging to it, they can still be reborn from that drop."
Lin Hao said this not only for Tang San's benefit, but also for Tang Hao, who was hiding nearby.
Sure enough, after they finished Tang San's enrollment paperwork and left the teaching building, Tang Hao appeared out of thin air a short distance in front of the three. He raised a barrier with his soul power, preventing any sound or images from escaping.
Lin Hao was not surprised.
"Uncle Hao, you're here!"
"Little Hao, was what you just said true?"
Lin Hao nodded.
"Of course. You're asking about resurrecting Tang San's mother, Aunt Ah Yin, aren't you, Uncle Hao? Hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts have quite a strong ability to preserve their lives."
"Uncle Hao, tell me about Aunt Ah Yin's current condition. Only then can I offer better suggestions for bringing her back!"
"All right!"
Tang Hao was not surprised that Lin Hao had guessed about Ah Yin.
After hearing about Ah Yin's current condition, Lin Hao looked thoughtful. Of course, that was merely a show for Tang San and Tang Hao.
