Ning Rongrong Sets Her Sights on Spirit City; This King Only Wanted to See How Tough Tang's Life Was

Losing something after having it-going from luxury back to frugality was hard. If Zhu Zhuqing left Shrek Academy too, that would be difficult to accept!

Lu Qibin's little heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

"Student Zhu Zhuqing..."

Before Lu Qibin could finish, Zhu Zhuqing raised a hand, signaling for him not to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Qibin shut his mouth and waited for this young girl with her unexpectedly curvaceous figure to make her final decision.

Zhu Zhuqing finally rested her gaze on Dai Mubai. Her lips opened and closed, forming words without making a sound.

As though he knew what Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say, Dai Mubai's pupils abruptly contracted. He slowly lowered his head, somewhat afraid to meet her eyes, and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists. After that, he made no further move.

Zhu Zhuqing's icy gaze lingered on Dai Mubai for a moment. A trace of dissatisfaction crossed her brow before she turned and headed deeper into Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai looked somewhat anxious and at a loss. He hastily told those present that he was going to find Oscar, then immediately set off in the same direction as Zhu Zhuqing.

One glance was enough to tell that these two had a story. Once he was certain Zhu Zhuqing would stay, Lu Qibin let the two youngsters leave.

He looked toward the person who could now be considered Shrek Academy's highest-ranking member present.

At that moment, Shrek's vice dean...

Zhao Wuji: unconscious, do not disturb!

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong had already left Shrek Academy's grounds. Her steps gradually slowed as she looked curiously left and right, a little question mark popping up above her head.

"How strange. Did that blond kid walk that fast? I followed him not long after he left, so why haven't I even caught a glimpse of his shadow?"

In Ning Rongrong's sect, everyone who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul had a special intuition for sensing treasures.

Her coming to Shrek Academy could be described as entirely accidental.

After leaving home, she had wandered wherever she pleased. While strolling near Suotuo City, her intuition for sensing nearby treasures had been triggered. Curious, she followed that intuition and soon arrived at Shrek Academy.

She happened to find Shrek Academy recruiting students and, on a whim, paid ten Gold Soul Coins as the registration fee.

After entering Shrek Academy, her treasure-sensing intuition grew even stronger. Only after she saw Tang San and the little objects he used in his hands did that intuition gradually fade.

Ning Rongrong had thought Tang San was the target her intuition was guiding her toward-until she saw that little blond boy! Her treasure intuition triggered again, stronger than ever before!

Seeing the little blond boy felt like seeing a mountain of gold with no end in sight!

At that moment, Ning Rongrong learned for the first time what a walking treasure was!

She immediately overturned her earlier conclusion!

The person her intuition had been guiding her toward was that little blond boy all along!

In an instant, curiosity filled Ning Rongrong's heart. She wanted to see just what was so miraculous about the little blond boy.

Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to chase after him, she had actually failed to keep up with the little blond boy?!

To think her movement speed was inferior to even a child's. Ning Rongrong secretly resolved to train her body properly.

"...No big problem! The little blond boy mentioned Spirit Hall, so that's most likely where he's headed."

Having decided which direction to take next, Ning Rongrong skipped off toward Spirit City.

Qian Renxue regained the Shadow Doll Puppet's body. The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was move warily to Jing Shanshan's side.

The moment Jing Shanshan switched his Gate of Babylon, she knew he was about to do something she knew nothing about, but which was certainly going to be a big deal.

"My king, may I ask why you called me out?"

Before Qian Renxue received an answer, she saw Jing Shanshan suddenly cover his eyes with one hand and whip his head toward a certain direction, his expression somewhat dark.

"He's here!"

Jing Shanshan's behavior was highly unusual! Qian Renxue was about to ask out of concern, but a sense of danger surged in her heart faster than she could speak!

Before her body could react, Qian Renxue's entire body collided with a mass of soft fur. A powerful layer of gray air currents rapidly covered her body, shielding her from the wind resistance of high-speed movement.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had now returned to his original form and was rapidly carrying her and Jing Shanshan away from where they had stood.

Boom!!!

At some point, a gigantic, pitch-black hammer with a heavy, rounded head had smashed into the spot Jing Shanshan had just occupied!

The hammer radiated a terrifying Soul Power presence!

Only a Titled Douluo could possess such a terrifying Soul Power presence!

A Titled Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was attacking them?!

Combined with Jing Shanshan's meeting with Tang San...

Qian Renxue was both shocked and frightened. Putting those two pieces of information she already knew together, it was not hard to guess a few things.

"My king, what exactly did you do? Don't tell me you nearly killed Tang San?!"

"This king did not!"

Hearing the first half of Jing Shanshan's response, Qian Renxue was still wondering why Tang Hao was so bloodthirsty that he would even kill a child. Once she heard what Jing Shanshan said next, she momentarily had no idea what to say.

"This king only intended to beat Tang San within an inch of his life and leave his survival to whether his life was tough enough, but I didn't manage it. Looks like this man sabotaged it from the shadows. What a spoilsport."

Having finished speaking, Jing Shanshan wore an expression of utter dissatisfaction at someone interrupting what he had been doing!

Qian Renxue: ...

Jing Shanshan disliked her volunteering information about the future unless he asked. Thus, it was perfectly normal for him to know some basic information about Tang San without knowing that a Clear Sky Douluo secretly protected him.

In the end, Qian Renxue decided that saying anything now would lower Jing Shanshan's favorability toward her, so she silently shut her mouth.

Forget it. With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger here, the gap between us and Clear Sky Douluo in raw strength won't be too great! Add Jing Shanshan's practically omnipotent Gate of Babylon, and successfully escaping shouldn't be much of a problem.

With that thought, Qian Renxue waited for Jing Shanshan's next move.

"Qian Renxue, do you know who this is?"

"Clear Sky Douluo, Tang San's father. Back when he had only just become a Titled Douluo, he fought three at once, killing one Titled Douluo and severely injuring the other two."

"Oh! A little interesting."

A classic case of beating the little one only for the old one to come.

Jing Shanshan did not regret going after Tang San and provoking this rather formidable-sounding Titled Douluo. If he had another chance, he would make the same choice!

Because a king would not look back on his own decisions with a self-denying emotion like "regret"!

"Haha!"

Faced with the difficulty that followed close on the heels of his choice, a king shouldered it with a hearty laugh, then set about resolving it!

"What disrespect toward a king!"

Jing Shanshan paused. His smile gradually faded as he slowly spoke.

"Qian Renxue, judging by his Martial Soul and title, is this Tang Hao connected to that Clear Sky Sect that knows the Great Sumeru Hammer?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded in understanding and answered.

"Yes. The Clear Sky Hammer is the signature Martial Soul of the world's number one sect, the Clear Sky Sect!"

"So this fellow called Tang Hao knows the Great Sumeru Hammer?"

"Almost one hundred percent! The Great Sumeru Hammer is one of the Clear Sky Sect's trump cards kept at the bottom of the chest! Tang Hao presumably has mastered this trump card!"

A flicker of interest showed in Jing Shanshan's eyes as he spoke, deciding what he would do next.

"Good. Then let me witness the Great Sumeru Hammer, one of the Clear Sky Sect's trump cards kept at the bottom of the chest!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stopped fleeing and swiftly leaped sideways, dodging another attack from Tang Hao.
