Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Targeting Tang San at Every Turn

It's a pity she didn't kill Ning Fengzhi. She regrets that when she was beating Ning Fengzhi, she only focused on humiliating him at first and didn't go for the kill. If she had gone for the kill earlier, Ning Fengzhi would probably be dead.

After seeing Gong Yu return to the team, Gong Niuniu seemed to have a lot to say to Gong Yu, but she didn't want to say it publicly in front of everyone, so Gong Yu took her to a private room.

The two, now alone in a private room, finally let out all their emotions, embracing Gong Niuniu Gong Yu and bursting into tears.

Chapter 247 Gong Niuniu's Background

After crying in Gong Yu's arms for a long time, Gong Niuniu finally calmed down and released her emotions.

She slowly got up from Gong Yu's embrace, and Gong Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

She sniffed, and thinking about how she had cried in Gong Yu's arms for a while, her face suddenly felt hot.

"Tell me, I know you're feeling wronged. It must be related to your background, right?" Gong Yu said slowly as she wiped away Gong Niuniu's tears.

Gong Niuniu pouted, thinking to herself that he really was a young master; he guessed everything.

However, she didn't want to talk about those things for the time being, and then whispered something in Gong Yu's ear that only the two of them could hear.

After listening, Gong Yu subconsciously swallowed, and when he looked at Gong Niuniu, his eyes were burning with desire. Then he picked up the little girl and carried her to the bedside.

Before long, the air was filled with intense heat, and the two soon engaged in a fierce and intense battle.

After a fierce battle, Gong Niuniu leaned against Gong Yu's chest, her breathing even and her breath sweet. She looked up at Gong Yu and saw that he was dozing with his eyes lightly closed. She immediately wrapped her arms around his waist and shrank into Gong Yu's arms like a frightened kitten.

Sensing that Gong Niuniu's mood seemed to have changed again, Gong Yu slowly opened her eyes, then gently stroked her little head and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Gong Niuniu nestled in Gong Yu's arms, looked up at him again, and then said softly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say, Young Master, thank you!"

"Why are you saying these things all of a sudden?" Gong Yu said slowly, while gently inhaling the fragrance emanating from Gong Niuniu.

Gong Niuniu said, "If it weren't for the young master buying me back then, I don't know where I would be being bullied now, or I might not even be alive today."

"Didn't I tell you not to tell me these things..." Gong Yu started to speak again, but before she could finish, Gong Niuniu interrupted her.

She said slowly, "The young master forbade us to say it, but we sisters can't forget it!"

"Alright, I can't argue with you." Gong Yu sighed. More than nine years have passed since he bought Gong Niuniu and the others from the trading market. It really feels like a lifetime ago.

Slowly lowering his head, Gong Yu gently kissed Gong Niuniu's forehead before speaking again, "Tell me about your background, I want to hear it!"

"I never intended to hide it from you any longer, young master." Gong Niuniu finally made up her mind and said slowly, "Strictly speaking, I should be considered a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Hmm, from the first time I saw your Martial Soul, I roughly guessed that you might have some connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." As he spoke, Gong Yu gently stroked Gong Niuniu's smooth, long hair.

Gong Niuniu continued, "Young Master has guessed some things, but what you don't know is that, strictly speaking, I should be considered a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only my Martial Soul Mutation."

Gong Yu wanted to continue speaking, but Gong Niuniu's voice rang out again. "I know what you want to say, young master. You mean that the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School all have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as their Martial Soul."

"Yes, that's what I wanted to say!" Gong Yu wasn't embarrassed at all that his thoughts had been guessed. It really was what he thought, and it was also true. The direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Gong Niuniu said, "What the young master said is indeed correct. Normally, if one is a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one should awaken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect when awakening their Martial Soul. The reason why my Martial Soul is not is entirely because it has mutated."

This story begins with my maternal grandfather's generation. My grandfather and Ning Fengzhi's father were brothers. Later, Ning Fengzhi's father had an eldest son, Ning Fengzhi, while my grandfather only had one daughter, my mother. Therefore, my mother and Ning Fengzhi are cousins.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu was also surprised. He never expected that Gong Niuniu and Ning Fengzhi were so closely related by blood.

Despite her surprise, Gong Yu remained silent and continued listening to Gong Niuniu's story.

She continued, "My maternal grandfather was much more qualified than Ning Fengzhi's father, but he disliked worldly affairs, so he withdrew from the competition for the position of sect leader back then, and Ning Fengzhi's father successfully took the position of sect leader."

When Ning Fengzhi and my mother reached the age suitable for awakening their Martial Soul, they both awakened the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, Ning Fengzhi's Innate Soul Power was only level seven, while my mother's Innate Soul Power reached level nine. My mother was then designated by the clan elders as the next sect leader.

"This is both a good thing and a bad thing," Gong Yu said slowly. "If I'm not mistaken, ever since your mother was designated as the next sect leader, she's probably been targeted by someone. Perhaps from that time onwards, someone has already begun plotting against your mother."

"Young Master is right," Gong Niuniu continued, "When Ning Fengzhi's mother learned that Ning Fengzhi no chance of becoming the sect leader, she began to plot."

As time went by, my maternal grandfather was murdered by Ning Fengzhi's mother. After learning his wife's secret, Ning Fengzhi's father, in an attempt to make up for what he owed his brother, spoiled my mother even more, making her increasingly arrogant and spoiled.

"So Ning Fengzhi jealous because he lacks love?" Gong Yu thought that she should try to make the story Blood One as possible.

"You could say that!" Gong Niuniu said slowly, "But I've heard my mother say that Ning Fengzhi has been ambitious since he was a child. Perhaps it's because of the education his mother gave him from a young age that he's become that way."

My mother's personality is like my grandfather's. Although she was spoiled by her great-uncle and was sometimes a bit arrogant, she never wanted to be a sect leader. So after she came of age, she often ran away to travel the mainland, and that's how she met my father.

"Your father must be very powerful, right?" Gong Yu asked.

Gong Niuniu sighed and said, "What do you mean by powerful? My father doesn't even have Innate Soul Power; his Martial Soul is just a crystal lamp!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu's eyes widened in surprise. "You're not going to tell me that your mother, a proud daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would fall for someone who doesn't even have Innate Soul Power?"

"How could that be!" Gong Niuniu said somewhat embarrassedly, "My mother isn't stupid. As the designated successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could she possibly fall for someone who doesn't even have Innate Soul Power?"

Hearing this, Gong Yu became even more curious and asked, "So how did your mother and father get together? Don't tell me your father is the kind who's really good-looking, and after he relentlessly pursued her, he finally won your mother's heart, and the two of them ended up together."

Chapter 248 Ning Fengzhi's Design

Mentioning Gong Niuniu's father, her expression instantly turned sour. She said somewhat reluctantly, "My mother and father have absolutely no affection for each other. The reason I exist is simply because my mother was framed!"

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Gong Niuniu's words immediately reminded Gong Yu of Ning Fengzhi. If he had been set up, the culprit would probably be Ning Fengzhi. After all, Ning Fengzhi wasn't a good person either. Since he couldn't improve his cultivation level, he could only resort to scheming and plotting against people.

Gong Niuniu said, "After my mother met my father, she rejected his advances several times, and even tried to kill him a few times. My father gave up, but soon after, he started to pester her relentlessly. However, someone was supporting my father in doing those things."

His supporter was Ning Fengzhi. Then, on a stormy night, my mother was taken hostage by Ning Fengzhi's men, who then instructed my father to rape her. After that, my mother became pregnant with me, while my father disappeared, presumably murdered by Ning Fengzhi.

Hearing this, Gong Yu really didn't know what to say. The plot development was really hard for him to predict. However, he asked doubtfully, "Who told you these things? Are they credible?"

"These are all things my mother told me before she died." At this point, Gong Niuniu sniffed again, feeling a pang of nostalgia for her mother. She continued, "Ning Fengzhi did so many things just to use the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School to drive my mother away."

Gong Yu was also aware of the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, namely that the direct female disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not marry Auxiliary System Soul Master.

If both people are Auxiliary System Soul Master, they have no fighting ability. Even if their level is higher, they can be killed by Soul Master of slightly lower level. In fact, the most important thing is that the sect needs to protect itself through such marriage alliances.

Because they were all Auxiliary System Soul Master, and if the person they married didn't have strong combat power, the safety of the sect couldn't be guaranteed. It was precisely because of this rule that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hidden strength spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and those powerful individuals were very willing to form marriage alliances because it could enhance their own strength.

Gong Niuniu continued, "My mother is pregnant with me. Ning Fengzhi this as leverage, saying that my mother has violated the sect's rules and that he wants to expel her. If my mother doesn't leave, she must abort me before I'm born and then marry someone designated by the sect."

Hearing this, Gong Yu gasped, thinking to herself that Ning Fengzhi was really ruthless, not even sparing an unborn child.

Gong Yu then asked, "Doesn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have an elders' council? How could they allow Ning Fengzhi act in this way?"

Gong Niuniu said, "As the designated successor to the next sect leader, my mother has lost the support of the people because she was pregnant with me. In addition, Ning Fengzhi had already taken control of the elders' council by means of his methods, so there was no elders to support her at all."

However, there was one person who supported his mother: the old sect leader, who was also Ning Fengzhi's father. But even though he was the sect leader, one person's support was not enough. After all, the full support of the elders was the most important. Nevertheless, he still supported his mother.

But one day, news suddenly came that the old sect leader had died. Later, my mother told me that the old sect leader was angered to death by Ning Fengzhi, and then Ning Fengzhi directly took over.

"Hiss..." Gong Yu gasped again, then said, "Ning Fengzhi taken over, so how could he and his mother possibly tolerate your mother anymore?"

Gong Niuniu said, "No, after Ning Fengzhi took over, he stopped making things difficult for my mother. I guess the overall situation was settled, and he felt it was unnecessary, or perhaps he no longer bothered to make things difficult for my mother."

However, Ning Fengzhi did not make things difficult for my mother, but his mother made things difficult for me in private. However, my mother gritted her teeth and endured it so that I could be born safely.

When I was five years old, my mother learned about the deeds of Ning Fengzhi and his mother, and that my grandfather had been killed by Ning Fengzhi's mother. Her personality changed drastically, and in the end, she disregarded everything and committed suicide to take Ning Fengzhi's mother with her.

"Then how did you survive?" Gong Yu was a little afraid to imagine how much Gong Niuniu's mother's personality would change, to the point that she would disregard her daughter's weakness and try to take Ning Fengzhi's mother down with her.

Gong Niuniu's eyes were already blurry, and Gong Yu could clearly feel her tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes and falling onto his chest.

"Sigh... Don't cry, don't cry. I'll help you kill Ning Fengzhi later." Gong Yu gently stroked Gong Niuniu's head, feeling inexplicably heartbroken at her appearance.

"After my mother died, Ning Fengzhi naturally had no intention of letting me go," Gong Niuniu said with tears in her eyes. "However, at that time, an elder who had a very good relationship with my maternal grandfather saved me, saying that I was, after all, a descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and that no matter what, we had to wait until I awakened my Martial Soul before deciding whether to keep me or not."

That's how I ended up staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for another year, until the day I awakened my Martial Soul at the age of six. But when I finally awakened the Nine-Colored Amethyst Lamp Martial Soul, I didn't have a trace of Innate Soul Power. I panicked at the time, knowing that Ning Fengzhi would definitely find another excuse to deal with me.

I knew I would die, but what I never expected was that when I woke up the next morning, I was already in the underground human market. Later, I was resold several times and ended up in Nuoding City, where I was finally bought by a young master along with several of my sisters.

After hearing everything Gong Niuniu had said, Gong Yu's killing intent towards Ning Fengzhi intensified. However, he should also thank Ning Fengzhi, because if it weren't for Ning Fengzhi's methods, he might never have met Gong Niuniu in the end.

Gong Yu's thoughts immediately raced. After a moment, he asked, "Niuniu, do you want to be the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Ultimately, Gong Niuniu is connected to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by blood, so if she wants to become the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gong Yu will definitely do everything in his power to help her take the position.

"I don't want to. I just want to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to disappear from the world completely." Gong Niuniu said this, but her eyes were full of hatred. She felt disgusted with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Martial Soul from the bottom of her heart.

"Are you sure?" Gong Yu couldn't believe that Gong Niuniu was so ruthless, wanting to wipe out the entire lineage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, if it were him, he probably would have done the same. Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering, so he didn't try to persuade them.

However, he worried that Gong Niuniu might regret it one day, so he added, "Destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is simple, but are you sure that's what your mother would want? If she were still alive, she probably wouldn't want you to do this, after all, she was also a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Gong Niuniu said, "No, this is what my mother wanted. Her last words before she died were that a filthy sect like this should not exist in the world. So destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was my mother's last wish, so I must do it."

Chapter 249 The Finals Begin

A mysterious smile appeared on Gong Yu's face as he said, "Destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is incredibly easy. If needed, I can destroy it for you in the near future."

"What do you mean?" Nestled in Gong Yu's arms, Gong Niuniu tilted her head and looked at his face, but her hands began to wander, roaming all over his body.

Gong Yu said, "I still have ten drops of Tang Hao's blood here. To destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, all I need to do is create a few more Tang Hao Clone. If ten Tang Hao Clone self-destruct within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I believe it will absolutely destroy the so-called number one support sect in the world."

"No, I want to take revenge myself. I want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to end in my hands," Gong Niuniu said firmly. She lifted the blanket that was covering her and crawled under it.

"Hiss..." Sensing Gong Niuniu's movements under the blanket, Gong Yu gasped and said, "Little vixen..."

Before long, the entire bed frame started shaking again, and it wasn't until it got dark and both of them were so hungry that their stomachs were growling that they finally ended their exercise for the day.

The two got up, went out to eat something, and then went to cultivate separately.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the finals of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament finally arrived.

At dawn, led by personnel from the Spirit Hall, the team from the Academy of the Gods began their journey towards the competition venue.

Since it was the first day, the Spirit Hall assigned a guide to each student to lead the way and explain the rules of the finals.

As they walked along the road, the guide began to explain to the group in detail, "The finals are about to begin. Some of you may have already heard about the competition format, but as the designated guide, I must repeat it again."

The guide paused, glanced at the crowd, and continued, "In the finals, a total of thirty-three teams will participate. Among them, three seeded teams will be selected by the two great empires and the Spirit Hall, respectively."

"The finals consist of only five rounds, which is shorter than the qualifiers and qualifying rounds. However, because the competition is fierce, there will be a one-day rest and adjustment period between each round."

"There will be a three-day break before the final fifth round. In the first round, the three seeded teams will receive a bye, and the remaining thirty teams will compete for fifteen qualifying spots, with the losers being eliminated."

"According to the competition rules, the top-ranked academy from each of the two major empire regions will receive a bye in the second round of the qualifying tournament. This means that if we win the first round, we will have ample rest time in the second round, which is the very purpose of the qualifying tournament."

"At that time, sixteen teams will compete to determine eight teams that will advance to the third round. Adding your two teams that received a bye, that makes a total of ten teams."

"The team that receives a bye in the third round will be the runner-up from the qualifying round. The remaining eight teams will compete for four spots to advance to the fourth round."

"There will be no byes in the fourth round, so only the top two teams will benefit in the finals during the qualifying rounds. The earlier a team gets a bye, the better, as it will avoid being eliminated too early."

"In the fifth and final round, only three teams will remain. These three teams will each field seven players in a round-robin format, similar to a qualifying tournament, to determine the team with the strongest individual players."

"Then the two losing teams will have a team battle, and the winner will then challenge the winner of the previous individual competition to determine the final champion."

The commentator provided commentary throughout the match, and by the time he finished, the team from the Academy of the Gods had already entered the arena. After arriving at the Academy of the Gods Team's designated rest area, the commentator gave some instructions and then left.

This is a venue entirely constructed of granite, located in the heart of Spirit City, with a massive arena that is a hundred meters in diameter.

For the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Spirit City specially set aside a venue.

The entire arena was reinforced with a large number of Soul Tool to prevent damage. According to information provided by the Spirit Hall, the arena was strong enough to withstand any attack from Soul Master below the Soul Emperor level without damage.

However, this is relative to other academies. For members of the Academy of the Gods, such an arena cannot withstand destruction.

Directly in front of the entire competition stage is the Pope's Hall.

The distance from the competition arena to the hill where the Pope's Hall is located is only a kilometer. The Spirit Hall has announced in its notice that the final three finalists will compete in the Pope's Hall.

On the day the champion is determined, the Pope of the Spirit Hall will crown the champion team at the Pope's Point.

The competition venue is surrounded by rest areas, with each participating college having its own rest area.

On the side opposite the Pope's Hall is the VIP judging panel, where representatives from the two great empires, as well as members of the Spirit Hall, will watch the battle.

As soon as she arrived at the rest area, before she could even sit down, Liu Erlong was called away by staff to draw lots.

About half an hour later, Liu Erlong returned to the rest area.

"Erlong, how did the draw go?" Gong Yu asked softly as Liu Erlong approached with a smile.

Liu Erlong's smile faded, and he said seriously, "In the first round, we encountered a completely new opponent."

"Really? That's great! Which academy is it?" Gong Xue jumped up immediately, feeling eager to try. Perhaps it was because the Academy of the Gods had no rivals in the Heaven Dou Division, so she was very eager to meet a new team.

Liu Erlong coughed twice, feigning embarrassment, and said, "It's not about which college, but two colleges merging into one team!"

Gong Yu roughly guessed which two academies were merging their teams, but he had to pretend he didn't know and asked, "Erlong Sister, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me, how come two academies are merging their teams?"

"Alright, then I'll explain," Liu Erlong slowly explained. "The two teams that have been merged are Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy from the Heaven Dou Division. They will select the best seven players from each team to form a combined team and participate in the competition under the name of the Blazing Fire Academy."

Gong Yu asked again, "Does this comply with the competition rules? Has the organizing committee agreed to it?"
