Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Rongrong, she..."

Oscar's face darkened, his fists clenched tightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "She was taken away by Ning Fengzhi!"

"He claimed that staying with us would eventually bring trouble to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!"

Not only did Ning Fengzhi take Ning Rongrong away, but he also gave Shrek Academy a scolding!

The already fragile hearts of the Shrek team were completely shattered!

And this was Oscar speaking—he, who used to show respect to Ning Fengzhi by addressing him as 'Clan Master Ning' or 'Uncle Ning.'

After all, Oscar had always harbored hopes for Ning Rongrong.

Unfortunately, Ning Fengzhi's actions were like a slap to the face of Shrek Academy. No matter how much Oscar liked Ning Rongrong, the two of them could never get past Ning Fengzhi.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others weren't fools. Last night, they were hiding in the shadows, watching everything.

That Vice Master of the Body Sect was just too powerful!

He was able to hold his ground against the Clear Sky Douluo!

Even if he was "defeated" by Tang Hao, who could dare claim that the Body Douluo was weak?

This was someone who could face the world's strongest Tool Spirit and a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring head-on!

If Tang Hao hadn't gone all out, risking his life, Body Douluo, Du Bafang, might not have lost!

What they didn't know was that if it weren't for the interference of the Shura God, Du Bafang would, at most, have been severely injured—he wouldn't have died!

The ultimate victor would have undoubtedly been the Body Douluo!

It was simply that Tang Hao's injuries were too severe. As long as Du Bafang survived the final strike, Tang Hao would have had no chance to retaliate.

The Vice Master of the Body Sect possessed an incredibly terrifying soul skill—an undying body. As long as he had soul power left, his injuries would recover in moments. He simply wasn't afraid of being severely wounded...

If you couldn't kill him in one strike, it would become a battle of attrition...

But what did Tang Hao have to compete with Du Bafang in terms of endurance?

And apart from this Vice Master, even the Body Sect Master, the Martial God Douluo, personally stepped into the field...

Even though neither of them seemed to have direct hostility toward Shrek Academy, who would dare associate with Shrek anymore?

During last night's chaos, Ning Fengzhi had already planned to take Ning Rongrong away.

However, with so many powerful figures around, he couldn't openly make his move. That's why he didn't act immediately.

At dawn, members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan arrived at Shrek Academy and forcefully took their young clan mistress away.

Everyone understood that from this moment on, Ning Rongrong's future was sealed—she would no longer have the chance to become a high-ranking figure in the clan.

For the rest of her life, she would either be used for an arranged marriage or live as a mere ornament, leading a carefree but purposeless existence.

There's always risk in investing. If Ning Rongrong weren't Ning Fengzhi's daughter, her days ahead would likely be filled with misery.

But in the end, she was Ning Fengzhi's daughter.

As for Shrek Academy, it now had only a handful of students left. Most of the ordinary trainees had fled at the first sign of danger. Very few chose to remain.

They were here to study, not to throw their lives away!

There was no need for loyalty, and even less reason to die for Shrek Academy.

Learning was learning—why did it matter where they studied?

"Ning Fengzhi, what a Ning Fengzhi!"

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his face as cold as frost.

"Without Rongrong, our auxiliary support spirit master, how are we supposed to fight beyond our level?"

This was what Tang San truly cared about.

The amplification ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was simply too powerful.

With Ning Rongrong's support, they were able to accomplish seemingly impossible feats.

Without their core auxiliary spirit master, fighting opponents above their level would become extremely difficult!

They had to remember—Shrek's goal was not just to pass the qualifiers!

Their true objective was to win the championship in this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament Finals.

Aside from the powerful Heaven Dou Royal Team 2, there were even stronger foes ahead—Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Roya Team 1...

The group fell silent for a moment before Oscar finally stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "Without Rongrong, then I'll have to step up."

Everyone glanced at Oscar, their eyebrows twitching involuntarily.

You? Step up?

Ning Rongrong's amplifications were direct boosts to attributes.

In contrast, Oscar's contributions were more functional: recovery, detoxification, and flight.

These abilities couldn't be directly converted into combat power, which was the fundamental difference between him and Ning Rongrong.

Of course, in large-scale battles, Oscar's usefulness could surpass Ning Rongrong.

"If you could break through to level forty, maybe you really could take her place."

"Unfortunately, even after the tournament, you won't reach level forty."

Currently, Oscar was only at level thirty-five, still a long way from level forty.

"Wait, I actually have an idea to help Xiao Ao step up..."

Suddenly, Tang San's eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at Tang San, eager to hear his plan.

"Everyone, don't forget—our Shrek Academy doesn't just have one food-type spirit master!"

"We can eat Teacher Shao Xin's sugar beans before the match, or even hide them in our mouths…"

"Once Xiao Ao activates his soul skills, we'll have a legitimate way to explain our strength boost!"

The moment these words were spoken, the group froze before suddenly realizing the cleverness of the plan!

"Isn't that cheating?"

Zhu Zhuqing said instinctively.

She didn't care much about Shrek Academy's fate.

She was also the only one who had stayed in the dorms to rest last night and hadn't witnessed the epic battle.

To her, this academy was as bad as Dai Mubai—if it collapsed, so be it.

"Zhuqing, how can this be considered cheating?"

"As long as no one discovers us, it's not cheating!"

"Besides, even if they find out, those sugar beans are soul power. As long as we don't admit it, they won't have any evidence!"

Typical Shrek Academy logic, typical Tang San and his group.

Thousands of years later, Huo Yuhao would use simulation soul skills to turn invisible and then perform a "Martial Soul Fusion" with Wang Qiu'er to defeat their opponents.

Was that really a fair duel?

Did such a victory carry any meaning?

And yet, Shrek always considered such victories honorable and took pride in them…

"If you all want to use it, go ahead. I won't."

Zhu Zhuqing tossed out this sentence and turned to leave.

"You—!"

This ungrateful woman!

If it weren't for Dai Mubai's sake, Tang San might have already lost his temper.

The events of last night had already pushed him to the edge of rage, and Zhu Zhuqing's comments only added fuel to the fire.

Anyone who dared provoke a disciple of the Tang Sect, if they could be defeated, would be struck down with overwhelming force and killed.

Such was the way of those who sought their own demise.

The scene shifted. In a certain hotel in Heaven Dou City...

After eating at Seven Treasure Hotel day after day, one could grow tired of it—sometimes, a change in taste was necessary.

Zhongli, Paimon, and Wang Chen sat together in a quiet corner.

"Wang Chen, it's been two and a half years, and you've grown so much!"

Paimon gestured with her hands, looking at Wang Chen with amazement.

"Paimon, it's been more than two years, and you haven't changed at all," Wang Chen replied with a smile. He had just sat down and still felt a bit restrained.

Hearing this, Paimon scratched her head and fell into deep thought.

Now that she thought about it, throughout her many years of memory, she really hadn't changed at all.

Unlike the long-lived species and archons, humans like Wang Chen would inevitably age and wither away…

For example, if she were to meet Wang Chen again a hundred years later, the scene would be...
