How should she repay him?
This question stumped Zhu Zhuqing.
She hadn't really thought about how to repay Ao Tian.
Give him money? She didn't have much, and Ao Tian didn't seem to be lacking money.
Thinking carefully, it seemed she truly had nothing to offer Ao Tian in return.
"I haven't thought it through yet. Why don't you suggest a condition?" Zhu Zhuqing said, her delicate face slightly flushed.
She had just been talking about repaying him, but she didn't even know how to do it, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
Ao Tian didn't mind at all, and he chuckled, "No rush. We can talk about it when you've thought it through. Even if you don't want to repay me, I won't say anything."
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I, Zhu Zhuqing, always repay kindness."
"Then you can think about it slowly," Ao Tian said, then walked towards the girls' dormitory, arriving at Xiao Wu's room.
He reached out to push the door when Zhu Zhuqing called out, "You should knock first."
Ao Tian's hand paused, then changed his posture and gently knocked a few times.
Actually, he had already sensed that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were up. Without using his divine sense or his eyes' ability to see through, he could tell just by listening that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had already gotten dressed and were busy inside.
Ning Rongrong opened the door, surprised to see Ao Tian, and immediately remembered the embarrassing incident from that day.
That day, she had been facing away from Ao Tian, but her front had been reflected in the mirror, and he had seen everything. It was mortifying.
This man had seen all her private parts, and the strange thing was, she didn't even feel disgusted by him.
So whenever she thought about this matter, she found it a little difficult to face Ao Tian.
"I... we'll be fine soon." Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed slightly, and she stammered a sentence, then moved aside.
Ao Tian entered the room and saw that Xiao Wu was already folding the blankets.
"Not bad, you're more diligent than before, and you didn't sleep in. I thought I'd have to wake you up," Ao Tian praised.
Xiao Wu felt a little secretly pleased.
Ning Rongrong said, "Xiao Wu has also been very diligent recently, cultivating very late every day and getting up very early in the morning."
Being praised by both Ao Tian and Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Why the sudden interest in cultivation?" Ao Tian asked with a smile.
He understood Xiao Wu very well. When they first met, Xiao Wu was quite diligent in her cultivation, but gradually, influenced by him, she started to become lazy.
Xiao Wu said, "Zhu... mainly because Little Qing is cultivating so hard, and Rongrong has also become much more diligent. If I don't work hard, I'll be overtaken by them."
"Not at all, I'm still far from it. I haven't even reached level twenty-seven." Ning Rongrong said.
Ao Tian glanced at Ning Rongrong and said, "You're very close to level twenty-seven. If you keep practicing every day, you'll definitely break through within five days."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
"Really. Ao Tian is never wrong," Xiao Wu said confidently.
Ning Rongrong showed a sweet smile and said, "Okay, if I really break through within five days, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Rongrong, I'm your roommate, aren't you going to treat me too?" Xiao Wu said.
"Please, all of you. You too, Sister Na'er, and Xiaoqing."
"Now that's what I call a good roommate."
"Stop chatting here. If there's anything else you need to pack, get it done quickly. We'll be eating soon," Ao Tian reminded them.
Not long after, the five of them had a simple breakfast in the cafeteria before heading to the training grounds to gather.
After Zhao Wuji gave some instructions, he had Dai Mubai lead the group in a run.
As the team captain, Dai Mubai led the way, with Zhao Wuji following behind, observing the students' condition.
The running training was the same as last time. They were going to run to the Star Dou Great Forest. This would not only train their endurance but also temper their willpower and promote the growth of Soul Power.
After Soul Power was exhausted, they could meditate to recover. The growth of Soul Power would be faster than simply meditating.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun were still required by Zhao Wuji to eat sausages. As for Ao Tian and the four girls, Zhao Wuji didn't bother them anymore.
Flender had already told him that Ao Tian's little group could train freely, and those who didn't want to participate wouldn't be forced.
This time, Ao Tian didn't secretly help Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing recover their physical strength and Soul Power either, letting them run on their own.
Ning Rongrong was still the most miserable, but compared to last time, she had improved a lot, with increased endurance and willpower.
It was still in the evening when they arrived at the town. They spent the night there and set off early the next morning, entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Ao Tian's focus was on Oscar. He wanted to know if Oscar's third Soul Ring would, like in the original story, be the Soul Ring of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.
If Oscar really encountered the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, would the Overwhelming Dragon Snake also appear?
Except for Ao Tian, the destinies of everyone else in Douluo Continent were already predestined. Those closely related to him would be influenced, and the trajectory of their fate would change.
But for those not closely related to him, their destinies would still follow the original path. This was the wonder of fate, and also the mystery that Ao Tian wanted to comprehend.
This time, as the team captain, Dai Mubai took on the arduous task of clearing the path ahead. He released his Martial Soul, and his ten sharp fingernails transformed into a set of blades, easily cutting a path through the undergrowth.
Ao Tian was comfortably situated in the middle of the group.
By the afternoon, Oscar's Soul Ring appeared.
The team stopped for a short rest, and Tang San, who was on watch, was the first to spot the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent rapidly approaching them.
After Tang San issued a warning, everyone stood up.
"Oscar, this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's Soul Ring is very suitable for you. Its age is..." Tang San quickly stated his analysis, outlining the characteristics of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, its age, and the type of Soul Skill Oscar would gain after absorbing its Soul Ring.
Oscar's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Xiao San, you really are an encyclopedia of the Martial Soul world."
Tang San felt a little proud. All of this was the valuable theory that his master had taught him. He smiled shyly and said, "It's all thanks to my teacher."
Zhao Wuji's eyes also held a hint of admiration. "Since this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is suitable for Oscar, let's prepare for the hunt. Mubai, you take charge."
Dai Mubai glanced at everyone. "It's only a serpent just over a thousand years old. Tang San and I can handle it. Tang San, you're in charge of controlling it and preventing it from escaping. The rest is up to me."
Dai Mubai was still a Soul Elder at level thirty-seven, but with the power of his White Tiger Martial Soul, his attack power was already close to a Soul Ancestor.
As expected, with his and Tang San's cooperation, this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was easily disabled.
Oscar excitedly took out a dagger. Just as he was eager to end the serpent's life, a loud, aged shout suddenly rang out.
"Wait!"
With the sound, an old woman and a beautiful girl, who looked about seventeen years old, emerged from the bushes.
Ao Tian stood with his arms crossed, watching with interest from the side. The plot unfolding now was exactly as he had imagined.
The two people in front of them were Snake Granny and her granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
Then, the two sides began to argue over the ownership of the snake.
In the end, under Zhao Wuji's display of force, Snake Granny, who was only a Soul Emperor, could only leave with her granddaughter, fuming with anger.
Oscar finally killed the snake with a single strike and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
Oscar only took an hour to successfully absorb the Soul Ring and obtained his third Soul Skill, the Flying Mushroom Sausage.
This mushroom sausage had a peculiar shape, with a ring of fleshy crests on top, making it look very vulgar.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun couldn't help but laugh when they saw the appearance of this mushroom sausage, and even Tang San was a little speechless.
Zhao Wuji's mood was heavy as he said, "Since Xiao Ao has already finished absorbing the Soul Ring, let's leave here quickly. The Snake Granny from earlier could come back with her husband, the Dragon Duke, at any moment. If the Overwhelming Dragon Snake combine, we won't stand a chance."
However, Zhao Wuji had just finished speaking when the ground began to tremble.
"What's going on?" Oscar exclaimed.
Immediately, the sound of trees toppling came from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Everyone turned their heads sharply. The tall trees parted to the sides, and a black figure, like a small mountain, appeared before them, casting a shadow over everyone.
