Chapter 113: Preparing to Head to the Extreme North
Ning Rongrong, unable to tolerate Yu Xiaogang's endless monologue, raised her hand to interrupt his long-winded lecture.
"Teacher, where did you get all these soul ring limits from? As far as I know, you're only a 29th-level Great Soul Master. How could you have so many actual samples for reference?"
The Shrek members, who were unaware of the situation, instantly glared at Yu Xiaogang, their expressions filled with more disdain. They had expected that someone capable of teaching a student like Tang San would at least be a Soul Saint, but to their surprise, he was only a Great Soul Master.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened, but his years of experience allowed him to stay calm.
"Although my cultivation level is not high, my research on martial souls has reached a profound level. The limits of those soul rings are conclusions I derived from studying a vast number of books. My disciple, Tang San, has always absorbed soul rings according to my theory."
Hearing this, even Fatty could no longer hold back. "Teacher, you're claiming to have researched it, but you're just copying knowledge from books?!"
"Teacher, but our classmate Xiao Wu has a thousand-year second soul ring."
"What? That's impossible."
Ma Hongjun's words nearly shattered Yu Xiaogang's calm as he turned to look at his disciple Tang San in disbelief.
Under his incredulous gaze, Tang San slowly nodded.
It was a coincidence that Bibi Dong's martial soul was so ugly, and she never used it in front of him, so he didn't know her second soul ring was also purple. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing for her.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale as he turned to look at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu smiled faintly, her martial soul enveloping her. Four soul rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—appeared one after another, proving that what they had said was not a lie.
Seeing the undeniable truth, Yu Xiaogang took a few steps back, unable to accept it.
"This... this..."
Ma Hongjun, seeing the situation, added fuel to the fire.
"Teacher, I think you might as well stop training us. If I want to improve my soul ring age, I can just ask Sister Xiao Wu here."
Xiao Wu gave Fatty a knowing look, which made him even happier.
"Master, you can leave your methods for Tang San. I don't want a hundred-year soul ring on my third soul ring. Uh?"
Ma Hongjun, getting more and more excited, finally saw Tang San's murderous gaze, so he quickly shut his mouth.
"Poof!"
The words were already out, and the Shrek group couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage, pointing at Ma Hongjun with one hand.
"You... you..."
He had expected that these geniuses wouldn't easily submit to him, but he never imagined they would directly embarrass him like this. "My disciple may have a weak third and fourth soul ring, but isn't it worth respecting that someone so young already has the cultivation of a Soul King?"
Ma Hongjun feared Tang San, but Dai Mubai wasn't afraid of him.
"Enough, Master. You can deceive us into paying for food, but don't delay our training. This broken circle, whoever wants to run, can run. I won't run."
After speaking, he directly left the training ground, and the others followed, exchanging looks before leaving as well.
Only Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were left, their expressions changing as they watched the others walk away.
"Damn, these people have a death wish."
Tang San gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, We have no grudges, why humiliate me like this?
After the others left, Yu Xiaogang, furious, couldn't hold back anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Teacher!!"
After years of teacher-student bond, Tang San instinctively caught the falling Yu Xiaogang. However, the seed of darkness had already been planted in his heart.
"If I don't listen to my teacher's lessons, could I also have a thousand-year second soul ring?"
With a deep sigh, he realized that it was too late to change anything. He also had to think about his fifth soul ring.
He carried the unconscious Yu Xiaogang towards the academy's wooden house.
Leaving the training ground, Xiao Wu and Rongrong, who were planning to go to Soto City for a meal, were stopped by Zhu Zhuqing.
"Huh? Zhuqing, are you joining us?"
The little cat squeezed her fists and hesitated.
"Well..."
Xiao Wu and Rongrong looked at her in confusion.
"Zhuqing, just say it. If we can help, we won't refuse. After all, you stayed by my side when that ten-thousand-year soul beast attacked."
Rongrong, seeing her hesitation, spoke up generously.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have made up her mind and sighed deeply.
"Can you tell me how to obtain a soul ring that surpasses its limit?"
Xiao Wu and Rongrong exchanged glances. Ning Fengzhi had already stopped talking about Whale Gel, but of course, it couldn't be fully kept a secret. There were too many people in the sect who had used Whale Gel.
"As long as you regularly consume Whale Gel, it will improve your body strength. With the Qi Protector Pills unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you'll be able to easily absorb soul rings that break through the limits."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two girls in shock. She never imagined it would be that simple.
As if understanding her thoughts, Rongrong took out a chunk of something black from her soul guide and threw it to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly caught it, a pungent smell rising, but strangely, as a cat-type martial soul, she didn't find it unpleasant.
"Is this Whale Gel?"
"Yes."
"How much is it? I'll buy it from you."
Rongrong waved her hand generously.
"No need. Just consider it a reward for not abandoning me when that ten-thousand-year soul beast came."
After speaking, Rongrong took Xiao Wu's hand, and they walked toward the academy.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at their retreating figures, then at the Whale Gel in her hand, filled with emotion. This was a feeling she never experienced in the Star Luo Empire.
Just as she was about to return to her room to consume the Whale Gel, Xiao Wu and Rongrong hurriedly ran back.
"By the way, Zhuqing, you should take the Whale Gel little by little. Otherwise..."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two girls in confusion.
"Otherwise, what?"
The two girls' faces turned red as they remembered how they had overeaten when they consumed it.
"Well, just take it little by little. Once you eat it, you'll understand. Don't be greedy. Just melt it before consuming."
After speaking, the two girls sighed in relief and walked toward the academy. They didn't want to hear wild cats meowing all night.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Whale Gel in her hand with suspicion but didn't argue. She decided to follow their instructions, especially since they were both from a noble background and probably didn't want to deceive her.
The Sky Blue Bull Python, seeing the girls so easily divulge sect medicine information, stood on a tree, wanting to speak but stopping itself.
"Hey, when will Ning Bei come back? I miss the Pill Tower's second day."
Ning Bei, who was on his way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, sneezed suddenly.
"How strange, even a Soul Douluo can catch a cold?"
Returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Bei directly informed Ning Fengzhi, Jian, and Gu of his upcoming plans.
Gu Rong, looking worried, stared at him.
"Bei'er, don't you want me and Jianren to follow you? The Extreme North is one of the three forbidden zones of life. It will be very dangerous."
Although Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin didn't speak, their faces revealed concern.
Ning Bei shook his head, feeling a little touched. They would always worry about his safety.
"No need. Father, Grandpa, I have Ah Bao and Er Ming to protect me. If anything happens, I can still leave. Not to mention, there's also Senior Di Tian's reverse scale, right?"
The others thought for a moment, realizing it was true, so they didn't say anything more, advising Ning Bei to be careful.
