Consider this a lesson learned.
"You just wait, you..."
Jun Yi waved his hand at Cai Xukun, no longer listening to his angry words, and walked towards the arena where Ning Rongrong was.
When Jun Yi arrived at the edge of arena number 102, he saw Ning Rongrong already standing there watching Zhu Zhuqing fight.
Upon seeing Jun Yi, Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Hey, how come you're so fast?"
"Winning with just a flick of your finger? That's considered slow. I'm curious, how come you're so fast?"
"I forfeited before the Soul Fighting even started. I'm not interested in one-on-one Soul Fighting, and besides, the reward isn't very appealing to me," Ning Rongrong replied.
"As expected of Eldest Miss Ning, so composed. I, Xiao Yi, still have much to learn from you. By the way, how is Zhu Zhuqing doing?"
While questioning Ning Rongrong, Jun Yi turned his attention to the arena and used his Observation Haki to find out Zhu Zhuqing's opponent.
"We're about to win. Zhu Zhuqing's opponent's Soul Power Level is only 26. He'll be easy to deal with."
As they were talking, Zhu Zhuqing's Second Soul Ring lit up on the arena, and her hands took on the shape of purple claws as she began to attack her opponent frantically.
Zhu Zhuqing's opponent's Martial Soul was a tortoise. He also used his second Soul Skill, enveloping himself in a tortoise shell to try his best to resist Zhu Zhuqing's claw attacks.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Hundred Claws were clearly stronger. She kept swinging her sharp claws, relentlessly attacking the tortoise shell, and each attack would push her opponent's body closer to the edge of the arena.
After the hundred claw strikes, although the opponent's tortoise shell was not pierced, he was knocked back off the stage, and Zhu Zhuqing thus won the victory.
After the teacher announced the results for both sides, Zhu Zhuqing stepped off the stage, and Ning Rongrong immediately ran to Zhu Zhuqing's side and gave her a hug.
" Zhu Zhuqing is so handsome, so amazing!"
Because Ning Rongrong is shorter than Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuqing is more developed, the younger-looking Zhu Zhuqing actually looks more like the older sister, while Rongrong looks more like a spoiled younger sister.
"Wow, is this something I can watch without paying?"
Seeing the incredibly alluring scene of the beautiful women cuddling together Jun Yi instantly understood why so many girls in his past life liked BL (Boys' Love).
"My brother likes watching this, bring more." Jun Yi's eyes were fixed on the two of them, a strange smile on his face.
"It seems Big Brother Jun has won too," Zhu Zhuqing greeted Jun Yi with a smile.
"Slurp, umm, easy win." Jun Yi sucked back the little bit of saliva that had just spilled out and adjusted his facial expression as he replied.
"So what do we do now? The first round of Soul Fighting still has a second half, and the second round won't start for at least half an hour. We can't just wait here forever, it's so boring."
"Actually, we can wait. I can use this time to cultivate and adjust myself," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's suggestion, Ning Rongrong immediately refused, saying, "No, no, you've been training like crazy these past few days for this competition, only sleeping two hours a night. If you continue training, your body won't be able to take it. Listen to me, let's find a place to rest. Jun Yi, where do you think we should go?"
After thinking for a moment, Jun Yi said, "I remember there's a place in our academy where we trade, right? Shall we go take a look?"
" Big Brother Jun, are you referring to the academy's Barter Street?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Upon hearing the words " Barter Street," Jun Yi suddenly thought of the snow leopard in his hometown and Pearl, the pony who always came in first place. He couldn't help but exclaim, " Barter Street? That's a great name! 'Barter' means trade, and 'item' means goods. It's simple, clear, and easy to understand. Okay, let's go to Barter Street!"
"What nonsense are you spouting now? Never mind, Zhu Zhuqing, let's ignore him. We haven't explored this place yet, let's go check it out together."
Ning Rongrong glanced at Jun Yi with disdain, then grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm and walked towards the highest point of the academy.
"I wonder if my RELX charger in the dorm still has power. Oh well, never mind. I'm no longer a reformer or a traditionalist; I want to be a good kid who doesn't smoke."
Jun Yi followed Ning Rongrong and the other person toward the Barter Street, muttering to himself.
Although the Barter Street is called a street, it is actually just an attic that resembles a shop, selling all kinds of items related to Soul Master.
Wow, so many beautiful things! Look at this bracelet, it's so pretty!
Just as Jun Yi and the other two entered the attic, Ning Rongrong suddenly pointed to a bracelet next to the cabinet that was shimmering with a pale purple light and exclaimed.
This is a piece of jewelry; the bracelet is carved with a flower-shaped pattern that sparkles and shines under the light, making it exceptionally eye-catching. The bracelet is entirely purple and is made of jade, which is crystal clear and very beautiful.
"It's just an ordinary bracelet. I don't know how it managed to preserve a Sisi Soul Power within it; it's more for show than practical use."
Jun Yi looked at the bracelet and slowly commented.
Upon hearing Jun Yi's evaluation, Ning Rongrong, standing behind him, immediately revealed a disdainful expression, curling her lip and saying, "Tch, pretentious! I don't care, I like this. Little Yizi, check please!"
"Yes, Miss."
After saying that, Jun Yi and the other two went to the counter to inquire about the price of the bracelet. The seller at the counter was very honest and said that it was just an ordinary piece of jewelry with no special effects, so he only charged Jun Yi 500 Gold Soul Coin.
Jun Yi asked the seller to pack the bracelet, then took out five hundred Gold Soul Coin from his storage ring and handed them to the seller.
Ning Rongrong picked up the purple bracelet and put it on. The light shone through the purple crystal, making it look exceptionally beautiful, and she revealed a bright smile.
"Are you happy now, Miss?" Jun Yi said helplessly.
"Mmm, Little Sister-in-Law, you did a great job. Let's keep strolling around and see if there's anything else interesting." Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand and they wandered around.
"Luckily, Uncle Ning was farsighted. Before leaving Spirit City, he specifically sought me out and gave me some money. Otherwise, given Ning Rongrong's terrifying spending power, I suspect she might have sold me to pay off her debts."
Although Jun Yi said it was "some money," Ning Fengzhi actually gave him a storage ring before leaving, which contained at least 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. This is why Jun Yi was willing to pay for Ning Rongrong's bill.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing strolled around, picking out items they liked, while Jun Yi followed behind to pay the bill.
Just then, the three arrived at the very center of the attic, where a large crowd had gathered, seemingly having seen something strange and unusual.
Jun Yi stepped closer, and the item in front of him greatly surprised him.
How could Defense-Model Soul Tool appear within the Spirit Hall Academy?
