A noble title was required to enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Of course, there were exceptions.
The children of powerful Soul Masters could be exempted from that requirement.
"None of us are nobles. If we want to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip back to my sect."
Ning Rongrong didn't want to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She had sneaked out, and once she went back, getting out again would be difficult.
But Chu Sheng wanted to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so she had to help him.
At worst, she could cry a little in front of Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, then have them put pressure on the old geezer...
"Do you want to go back?"
Chu Sheng looked at Ning Rongrong.
He understood what the young lady was getting at.
"I... I only just got out. I don't want to go back so soon."
Ning Rongrong paused before continuing.
"But if it's to help you, I'll go back."
She made no attempt to hide her feelings. If she liked someone, she liked him.
And if she liked him, she ought to express it, both through words and through actions.
"If you don't want to go back, then don't."
Chu Sheng reached out and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair.
"But..."
Before Ning Rongrong could finish, Chu Sheng continued.
"I have a way!"
Hearing this,
Ning Rongrong blinked, met Chu Sheng's eyes, and nodded without saying anything more.
That annoying devil might be very annoying, but his word could be trusted.
Zhu Zhuqing sat quietly beside them without speaking.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly on her cool, aloof face.
Life like this is wonderful.
After meeting Chu Sheng and Ning Rongrong, her life had been turned upside down.
It was no longer cold and lonely as it had once been, with nothing to look forward to.
Now, she not only wanted to live, but to live well!
At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing shifted slightly and rested her head on Chu Sheng's shoulder.
The whole movement flowed like drifting clouds and running water, utterly natural.
Ning Rongrong: "???"
This girl seemed neither competitive nor grabby, nor was she much of a talker, yet she always managed to show her feelings through her actions.
Sly little cat!
After finishing their meal, the three set off toward Heaven Dou City.
They stopped and started along the way, enjoying the mountains and rivers and having the time of their lives.
Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.
In his dormitory, Yu Xiaogang scratched his head and tugged at his ears, his face flushed red.
Because of what had happened to Tang San, he no longer had the heart to pay attention to the students' training.
"How on earth can I solve Xiaosan's problem?"
After absorbing a Soul Ring beyond his level, he had forgotten his hidden weapons and his self-created soul skills...
Those were the very foundations Tang San relied on to make his way in the world!
Without them, Tang San was merely an ordinary control system Soul Elder.
After just a few fights with the other students, Tang San had nearly exploded!
Tang San remembered all his past victories.
Precisely because he remembered them, his composure was crumbling.
In the past, he had handled Dai Mubai with ease, even when Dai Mubai had been a full rank above him.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang looked toward Spirit City with bloodshot eyes.
"Should I make a trip to Spirit City?"
"Would she have a solution?"
Tang San was his disciple, the key to proving that he wasn't useless.
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang made up his mind.
"I have to go to Spirit City..."
The students' dormitory.
Oscar glanced sideways at Tang San, shuddered slightly, and hurriedly shut his eyes to begin meditating.
He didn't dare provoke Tang San these days, nor could he afford to.
On the surface, Tang San hadn't changed much, but he had become more hostile, no longer as "refined" as before.
My previous life, the Tang Sect...
Could it all have been a dream?
At that thought, Tang San shook his head and cast the idea aside.
It couldn't possibly have been a dream!
Although he had forgotten many things, the people around him still remembered that he knew how to use hidden weapons and "self-created soul skills."
Those had all come from the Tang Sect!
I regret not listening to Teacher and absorbing a Soul Ring beyond my level...
I hope Teacher can find a solution.
After a pause, Tang San seemed to think of something and looked at his left hand.
If I start cultivating this hammer...
Since becoming a Soul Elder, Tang San had fought several battles.
His Blue Silver Grass martial soul, strengthened three times, wasn't weak, but it wasn't particularly strong either.
He could only be considered an ordinary control system Soul Elder.
After thinking it over briefly, Tang San hurriedly dismissed the idea.
Father and Teacher both said that I mustn't add any Soul Rings to this martial soul before becoming a Titled Douluo...
But I really can't take much more of this~
Yes, Tang San had fallen apart.
An unawakened Blue Silver Emperor was, in the end, merely Blue Silver Grass.
What was more, it had neither immunity to ice and fire nor immunity to all poisons.
In the original story,
Even with immunity to ice and fire, immunity to all poisons, and the Tang Sect Secret Arts, Tang San had still been beaten into a crisis of confidence by the Skywater Academy during the preliminaries.
If not for Dugu Bo, he would have started cultivating his second martial soul ahead of time.
Tang San was proud and conceited.
For victory, he was willing to pay any price!
Now that he had lost the Tang Sect's legacy, he naturally wanted to cultivate his second martial soul.
But because of what had happened with Blue Silver Grass's third Soul Ring, he abandoned that idea again.
He had already suffered once for not listening to Yu Xiaogang!
A stumble into a pit brought a gain in wisdom!
Yet even if someone beat him to death, Tang San would never realize that his missing memories had nothing whatsoever to do with absorbing his third Soul Ring.
It had simply been too much of a coincidence.
When Chu Sheng drew his prize, Tang San had happened to be absorbing a Soul Ring.
Had the timing not been so coincidental, he wouldn't have fallen into this "misconception."
The sun rose and the moon set. Several days passed.
On the main road leading to Heaven Dou City.
Chu Sheng walked at an unhurried pace, carrying Ning Rongrong on his back and holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
Just then, a group approached from the opposite direction, their every step exuding an air of "nobility."
There were eight of them, handsome men and beautiful women. One looked slightly older, around thirty.
The pride in their bones had long since seeped into their every movement.
"Oh~"
"This guy's interesting."
One of the men looked at Chu Sheng and grinned.
The "lineup" on Chu Sheng's side really was rather impressive.
He carried one girl on his back and held another by the hand. He certainly had luck with the ladies.
Hearing this,
The other seven instinctively looked toward Chu Sheng. Once they got a clear look, they froze briefly, then nodded.
He really was quite interesting!
The young man looked about their age, while the two girls were much younger, even if one of them looked very mature!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the older man seemed to sense something. His expression changed as he spoke.
"They're Soul Masters, and their soul power levels aren't low!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had only recently become Soul Elders, and both had advanced several levels in one go.
The soul power fluctuations radiating from them had nowhere to hide before a high-level Soul Master!
Chu Sheng had also passed level ten, but he could keep his soul power from leaking out, making him look like an ordinary person.
"Teacher Qin Ming, so what if they're Soul Masters?"
Yu Feng folded his arms and spoke dismissively.
That was right. This group consisted of the members of Imperial Fighting Team One!
They were undergoing a trial that involved challenging Soul Fighting Arenas.
They had already finished their challenges in many places, and now they were heading to a small city called Suotuo City.
Qin Ming looked at Yu Feng, then at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the corner of his eye twitching.
So what?
The "bigger" girl standing there has stronger soul power fluctuations than you do. What do you think?!
