Chapter 146: Night Meeting with Zhu Zhuqing (Two in One)
Ning Rongrong stared at the girl beside her.
At this time, the other party was wearing the ridiculous green uniform of the Shrek team, which was printed with various advertisements.
But her appearance, posture, and demeanor could make people subconsciously ignore those external factors.
No matter how gorgeous or ugly the external dress is, it can't steal the show and hide her unique temperament.
Unrestrained and free, as free as the wind.
Ning Rongrong certainly knew this person.
Except for the first day, the Shrek Academy team has never lost a game, which is completely dependent on the strong personal ability of the girl in front of her.
This is the biggest dark horse of this soul master competition.
Tiandou Royal Academy is at least famous, but Shrek Academy is completely unknown to ordinary people.
It can even be said that she is the strongest person in this competition except Su Cheng.
If Su Cheng hadn't performed so well in the competition these days, I'm afraid this girl would attract everyone's attention.
She is young, has a high level of cultivation, and has a 10,000-year fourth soul ring that exceeds the theoretical limit.
She was extremely powerful, and almost defeated all the members of the seed team of Blazing Academy by herself.
The powerful Nether Spirit Cat Martial Spirit overturned everyone's perception of agile attacking spirit masters, with both speed and strength, without any shortcomings.
But her anxious expression at this moment, her figure like a gust of wind...
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
She didn't understand how these two people were related.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about the eyes of others at this time.
Even what the teachers of the academy and teammates would think was no longer a concern at this time.
She was not a person who cared about other people's thoughts.
At this moment, what was surging in her mind was the figure whose spirit was devoured by herself, and the back that left alone at the last moment.
"Swish——"
An invisible sword energy flew over and blocked her.
Zhu Zhuqing was angry at first, and then a silver light flashed on her hand and grabbed forward.
"Little girl, calm down."
The voice with a little powerful soul power instantly reached her heart.
This made her sober.
Zhu Zhuqing looked sideways.
Chen Xin, the guardian of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was standing not far in front of her.
However, the other party did not look at her at this time, but stared at the iceberg on the ring.
At this time, the temperature near the ring had dropped to an extremely low temperature, which was difficult for her to bear with her physique. It can be imagined how terribly low the temperature in the central area would be.
Chen Xin's eyes seemed to flash with light, and he frowned and said to the people nearby in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, Cheng'er is fine."
In his senses, although Su Cheng's breath had fallen to the bottom of the valley at this time, it was almost difficult for ordinary people to detect.
But in the iceberg, the life breath at the core was extremely burning, and there was even a faint trend of further strengthening.
"..."
The members of the Tianshui Academy team looked at each other when they heard this, and did not say anything more.
Although the other members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team were anxious, they thought that there would be no big problems since the Titled Douluo had appeared.
The referee outside the ring finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
He only has the cultivation of Soul King, and there is nothing he can do about the situation.
But now that Sword Douluo is by his side, there will be nothing wrong.
The game can continue normally.
Su Cheng's life or death is unknown, and he has not fallen out of the ring. Although Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu have exhausted their soul power and are unable to fight again, her teammates are in good condition, at least they still have a lot of soul power.
The only thing to consider now is whether Su Cheng can break through the blockade.
At the same time, in the invisible horizon, a beautiful figure emitting blue and gold light quietly appeared.
It was Ah Yin.
After going through the Blue Silver Grass Forest, as long as she does not take the initiative to attack and appears in the form of a spirit, almost no one can discover her existence.
Even a strong man among the Titled Douluo, such as Chen Xin, is difficult to detect when she takes the initiative to hide.
Ah Yin did not have the mind to see how others reacted at this moment. With a solemn face, she controlled part of the authority of the Five Elements Domain and protected Su Cheng, who was blocked in the iceberg and had no time to distract himself.
At this time, what appeared in Su Cheng's eyes was a different scene.
Shui Bing'er's martial soul fusion skill has crossed two major levels. With the strength of a soul lord, she has shown the power of a soul emperor. It is indeed very strong, but it is not enough to cause much damage to him.
The reason why Su Cheng took this attack hard is because he is not afraid of this level of attack.
He has the five elements of the soul saint level to protect his body, the 100,000-year soul bone obtained from the Blue Silver Emperor, and five 60,000-year soul rings that bless his own attributes.
Shui Bing'er's martial soul fusion skill can hurt him, but it is not enough to seriously injure him.
It won't even take too long to fully recover.
The strongest point of the five elements domain is not its bonus or suppression effect, but its endless nature.
Su Cheng is for the immortal aura he saw from the huge ice phoenix.
In the Blue Silver Grass Forest, he witnessed the world's decay.
Although he has some understanding from this, he is always worried.
That experience has greatly helped him improve his short-term combat power, and even for a long time in the future, it will be of great benefit to his practice.
But from a longer-term perspective, it will become a very deep shackle.
Because he saw the "end" of his path of cultivation.
This is definitely not a good thing for the state of mind.
The bigger problem is that this seems to be a difficult problem with no solution.
He had heard many myths and legends in his previous life.
Even though the divine tortoise has a long life, there is still time for it to end, and the tan snake rides on the mist and eventually becomes ashes.
Even the immortals, gods and Buddhas will have their day of decline.
But among these creatures, Phoenix is an exception.
Because it can achieve "nirvana", the phoenix is an "eternal" god.
Su Cheng couldn't understand the meaning in the past.
It can only be regarded as some magical secret method that can extend life span, just like the powerful soul skills in this world and the wonderful ability to fly across the sea.
But even the world can decay. How can any creature, no matter how magical it is, escape its fate of destruction?
But today, with that little bit of inspiration, he felt the difference and finally touched a little bit of the way to solve the problem.
Phoenix's nirvana is not "life extension", but "rebirth".
Magical power is no match for karma.
The main cause of the world's decay is not itself, but comes from "disasters".
"Supernatural powers cannot be defeated by karma, because magical powers are karma. It is inevitable to absorb soul power, improve cultivation, receive gifts from heaven and earth, and finally return them to heaven and earth."
Su Cheng suddenly realized.
"But the phoenix achieves nirvana in the disaster, thus eliminating cause and effect, thus avoiding the ending of being bad and empty. In the stage of decay, it regains its vitality through nirvana."
When one thought arises, thousands of thoughts arise.
With his enlightenment, the techniques of the Nirvana Sutra began to operate spontaneously again and began a new transformation.
There seemed to be a source point within the body, burning like a flame, releasing scorching vitality.
At this time, bursts of warmth suddenly came from his right leg.
The 100,000-year-old soul bone obtained from the Blue Silver Emperor began to melt gradually, and then turned into a warm current and integrated into Su Cheng's body, transforming into the core of vitality.
"This time it is truly the 'Nirvana Sutra'..."
Su Cheng chuckled.
From now on, there are no shackles on the road.
From the time Su Cheng woke up to the time he started operating the technique, it actually took a very short time.
To onlookers, it only lasts a few minutes.
The temperature in the arena suddenly began to rise.
Cracks appear on the iceberg.
"boom--"
With a loud noise, the huge iceberg broke apart.
Su Cheng reappeared in front of everyone.
"..."
Everyone was surprised to find that he seemed to be unscathed at this time, and his breath was unusually calm, as if he had just experienced a battle.
No, not only was there no damage, he seemed to be in better condition than before.
Su Cheng looked around and realized that there were a lot of people near the ring.
It seemed that the movement just made was a little too big.
First, he bowed slightly to say hello to Chen Xin, then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise and nodded slightly to her.
Then he turned to look at the Tianshui Academy team members on the stage and said softly: "Do you want to continue?"
There was a hint of bitterness in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
She was originally extremely worried.
She has a kind nature and does not want anyone to be seriously injured because of her soul skills. Otherwise, she would not have tried her best to suppress the soul fusion skill that was far more powerful than her ability to control, and even suffered backlash from it.
But now I saw that the move I had tried so hard and used all my soul power to perform had no effect, and I felt a little depressed.
He shook his head slightly and sighed: "No, we admit defeat."
The rest of the Tianshui Academy team had no objections to her decision.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that the other party is in perfect condition now.
If you challenge yourself at this time, it is not a sign of fighting spirit, but of overestimating your own capabilities.
Su Cheng was not surprised. He nodded and continued, "If you don't mind it, we can have a good discussion in the future. Your martial spirit has great potential."
Shui Binger was a little surprised.
She thought that the other party might recruit her, but she didn't expect what she would say. After all, the strength gap between the two was too huge.
And judging from the post-match exchange between the opponent and Feng Xiaotian, it seems that he is not someone who likes to be polite.
"If you are willing, you can consider forming a team with us in the finals. I can give you my share of the finals prizes."
Shui Bing'er's expression paused slightly.
She had already thought about it, if the other party wanted to recruit her like the two people from the Tianfeng Academy team, she would just reject it.
She attaches great importance to the Tianshui Academy team she leads, and the dean of the academy is also her direct elder.
But the championship’s reward…
This time Wuhundian was very generous and directly took out three precious soul bones as championship prizes.
She doesn't care too much about whether she can have a soul bone with her, but if there is a chance to get it, it would be good to give it to the academy.
There was some hesitation immediately.
"If you think about it, you can come to me at any time."
Su Cheng was not in a hurry. After finishing speaking, he looked at the black-haired auxiliary soul master girl, "This classmate, your name is Xuewu?"
"Ah? Yes."
Xuewu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would talk to her.
"You are also welcome to join our team. Your martial spirit is very unique."
Xuewu nodded blankly, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
After the referee announced the result of the game, Su Cheng jumped off the ring.
He walked to Chen Xin and said, "Teacher, I'm worrying you."
"It's okay." Chen Xin looked at him and said with a hint of surprise, "You seem to have understood something."
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded frankly, "Shui Bing'er's martial soul fusion skill is very powerful, but her martial soul is even more special. It contains a hint of immortality, which is amazing."
Su Cheng looked at the Tianshui Academy team members who were leaving, "If I can communicate with her more in the future, my strength will undergo a transformation."
Chen Xin nodded lightly, "Your sword skills are different from mine. Now that your strength has reached this level, I don't have much to teach you. But you should take less risks in the future. You are still young and there are many opportunities to improve your strength. There is no need to be anxious. Remember, you must first cultivate your mind.”
"I understand." Su Cheng looked solemn.
This is the power of the dust heart.
He is one of the few soul masters who is sincere in the way of swordsmanship, and he is different from the vast majority of powerful men in this world.
After Chen Xin left, Su Cheng walked to Zhu Zhuqing, who was not far away and looked indifferent.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. The situation was special just now, and I suddenly had some understanding, so I took over the soul skill forcefully."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Cheng with a scrutinizing gaze for a moment.
Then he whispered: "I have something to ask you when I come out tonight."
After saying that, without waiting for his response, he turned around and left here.
Su Cheng shook his head helplessly.
"...Brother, do you know Zhu Zhuqing from the Shrek Academy team?"
At this time, Ning Rongrong came over and looked at Zhu Zhuqing's leaving figure and asked softly.
"I know you." Su Cheng nodded, turned his head and glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
Ning Rongrong hesitated at first, then asked: "How do you know each other?"
Su Cheng thought about it and felt it was a bit difficult to explain.
You can't tell others about the simulation.
You can't say we met in a dream, right?
He had no choice but to say: "Their team came to our academy last time and wanted to borrow a spot from the second team to compete, but I refused, and that's how we got to know each other."
Ning Rongrong lowered his head and remained silent after hearing this, not sure whether he believed it or not.
After returning to the team's rest area, Su Cheng found that Feng Qingyu ran over again today.
"You run here all day, and your teacher doesn't care?"
"No matter." Feng Qingyu sat on the sofa and said while stuffing fruit into her mouth, "I'm not a starting team member, I'm just here to watch the fun. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."
"All right."
Su Cheng sighed, sat down, picked up an apple and gnawed on it.
"You are really good at pretending. You have to forcefully perform such a martial soul fusion skill." Feng Qingyu raised her head and smoothed her long silver hair, "I see that the people in Tianshui Academy were hit so hard that they doubted their lives. ”
Su Cheng smiled and didn't explain much.
She couldn't understand these things even if they were told to her.
This kid has really good talent, and what's even more rare is that he knows how to think and doesn't follow what others say.
But this is both an advantage and disadvantage.
If she does not accumulate enough knowledge and knows some higher-level things in advance, based on her character, it will be easy to go astray if she thinks about it randomly.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look at Feng Qingyu, "Who is your teacher?"
"Teacher?" Feng Qingyu was a little confused, "I have so many teachers. What are you asking about?"
"I mean the one that inherits the mantle, just like the one-on-one master-disciple relationship between me and Sword Douluo."
"No, I practice with my grandfather."
"So that's it..." Su Cheng said hesitantly, "If you are willing, you can consider becoming my teacher. However, my current cultivation level is not high, and my actual age is not much older than you. If you care-"
"No problem, I do! We have agreed that you will be my teacher from now on and you must protect me!" Feng Qingyu said quickly, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
"..." I almost forgot that this child's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people.
"Once a teacher, always a father." Su Cheng glanced at her and said, "Kowtow to me three times first."
"Ah?" Feng Qingyu was dumbfounded, "Are you going too far..."
Su Cheng suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "This is the rule here."
"..."
Feng Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and prepared to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
For the sake of future safety, I endured it.
Su Cheng quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "I'm just kidding you. If I make you kowtow, my life will be shortened."
The girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, release your martial spirit and show me."
As a faint breeze blew by, a transparent figure that was difficult to see with the naked eye appeared behind Feng Qingyu.
If the soul ring hadn't appeared at her feet, most people wouldn't have noticed that she had released her martial soul.
But of course this couldn't be hidden from Su Cheng's eyesight.
The real vision appeared, and then the opponent's shadow martial soul was clearly displayed in his eyes.
Shrek Academy team area.
As Zhu Zhuqing returned to his academy, several teachers and teammates also looked at him with scrutiny.
Tang San's eyebrows were furrowed and he was silent, while Xiao Wu's eyes were full of doubts.
Oscar looked helpless and secretly winked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored their strange looks and walked back to his seat and sat down.
"Zhuqing, did you just..." Dai Mubai finally couldn't help but ask.
"I saw the fierce fighting over there. I went to see what was going on. Maybe I could get some inspiration." Zhu Zhuqing closed his eyes slightly and said calmly.
"Do you know Su Cheng from the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy?"
"Well, I know him and have met him a few times before." Zhu Zhuqing glanced at them, "Don't you know him too? Didn't Tang San and Xiao Wu go to junior college with him before?"
"..." Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other and frowned in unison.
"Well, I think you seem to have a good relationship." Dai Mubai explained hesitantly, "It seems like you are worried about him."
"Is there any?" Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged, "You are overthinking it. He is one of our team's biggest opponents if we want to win the championship, so of course we must pay close attention to him."
After he finished speaking, he added, "I don't think he is as strong as expected. When Tang San masters the Clear Sky Hammer, we might still have a chance to win."
Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.
The others lowered their gazes and secretly exchanged glances with each other.
Obviously, most of them didn't really believe what Zhu Zhuqing had just said.
Zhu Zhuqing had no time to care about other people's thoughts at the moment, as long as he could hold Dai Mubai steady.
To be honest, she is not in a good mood right now.
Yu Xiaogang had left the team for more than ten days before. It was said that he went out to look up some information in order to allow Tang San to practice the second martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, more safely.
She didn't care at first, but after the other party returned to the team, a piece of news he casually said made her feel extremely complicated.
"Su Cheng is not the strongest player you will face in this competition. The Wuhundian team is much more terrifying. They also have three soul kings. Moreover, in addition to those soul kings, there are also There is a soul master with the peak cultivation level of the Soul Emperor, his name is Qian Renxue, and he is a descendant of Qian Family of Wuhun Palace."
"Qian Renxue!"
This name instantly stirred up memories deep in Zhu Zhuqing's heart that he didn't want to touch.
"...I know, you must have follow-up plans. Let's talk about it together. What do you want me to do!"
"I just said that after you become emperor, you will surrender to the Tiandou Empire."
"I mean the back!"
"The back is gone."
"No more?! You did all this and tortured yourself into a cripple just so that I could become a Titled Douluo, then become the Emperor of Xingluo, and then surrender to that Qian Renxue?!"
"You can say that……"
In that dream, Su Cheng also mentioned this name.
Wuhun Palace.
Qian Renxue.
Twenty years of conspiracy, self-sacrifice, and finally bowing his head and begging, just to hand over the Star Luo Empire to that person.
She was unwilling to give in.
Why?
In Su Cheng's heart, what does he think of himself, and what does he think of that person?
But what if you don't give in?
That was the peak of the Soul Emperor, and it was the peak of the Soul Emperor who was less than twenty-five years old.
She has the memory of training in her dream, and is confident that as long as she is given time, she can reach this level before the age of twenty-five.
But the problem is, the reality is in front of her, she doesn't have this time at all.
Zhu Zhuqing could allow himself to lose to Su Cheng.
But she instinctively didn't want to lose to that person.
At night, Su Cheng stood alone in the forest outside Tiandou City, waiting silently.
Not long after, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
coming.
A figure flew out of the city and then ran quickly.
Her long black hair flutters in the wind, like an elf in the night sky, elegant and natural.
Soon, the beautiful figure landed not far in front of him.
"What are you..."
Su Cheng was in a daze for a moment.
The jet black slim-fitting long dress tightly wrapped Zhu Zhuqing from top to bottom.
Only the cold and charming face with unique charm and the long black hair flying in the wind were exposed.
This is a custom-made dress only owned by the great nobles of the Star Luo Empire.
In the simulated world, Zhu Zhuqing usually dresses like this as an adult.
However, today's Zhu Zhuqing has not fully grown up, so the style of his clothes is one size smaller than then.
Su Cheng stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing not far away, feeling slightly dazed for a moment.
At this time, although she was standing there alone, she did not feel lonely at all.
All the stars in the sky seemed to converge on her, like the elf queen in the dark night, natural and proud.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing walked slowly, walked up to Su Cheng, raised his head slightly and stared at him.
"Your clothes..."
"What's the problem?" Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "Not suitable for me?"
"That's not true." Su Cheng was a little confused, "Why did you change into this?"
Even if Shrek Academy's team uniform is ugly, there's no need to wear this.
Su Cheng knew the situation, and just changing into this long dress was extremely troublesome.
"For you." Zhu Zhuqing took another step forward.
"Um?"
Su Cheng said in shock: "What's wrong with you? You feel different from usual."
"What do you think I should be like."
"..." These words stopped Su Cheng from asking, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't delve into it, just stared at him silently.
After a moment, her red lips opened slightly and she said in a deep voice: "Su Cheng, are you ready to join the Spirit Hall?"
Su Cheng's eyebrows moved slightly but he said nothing.
"There is a person named Qian Renxue in Wuhun Palace. You are here to find her."
Zhu Zhuqing took another step forward, staring at him intently.
"..."
Su Cheng turned his head slightly and avoided her gaze.
"Su Cheng, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You are such a coward. What kind of woman can charm you like this? When the time comes, are you ready to surrender and give the championship to that thousand-year-old girl?" Ren Xue?”
Zhu Zhuqing's words were sarcastic, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"No, it's not what you think." Su Cheng sighed.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored his excuse and took another step forward.
"I thought the dream seemed real and fake, and many things in it were different from reality, but in the end it was still like this."
"Zhuqing, I don't go to Wuhun Hall just for-"
"Who am I?"
Zhu Zhuqing took half a step forward, and the two of them almost overlapped.
She suddenly raised her right hand and stretched out her long fingers to grasp Su Cheng's collar.
His tone was a little excited, and his eyes were slightly misty.
"Su Cheng, who am I? You've never taken me seriously, right?"
Su Cheng was pulled hard by her and lowered his head slightly.
Their cheeks were only half a foot apart.
Zhu Zhuqing's big and bright eyes shone with a strange and dark light.
Hot breath blew out from the plump red lips, blowing on Su Cheng's face with bursts of fragrant wind.
"Zhuqing, calm down first and listen to me tell you slowly."
Su Cheng was also a little confused. He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to be so excited now.
But he didn't dare to restrain her easily and elaborate.
That would easily make the situation more complicated. If something unexpected happens, it will become more and more irreversible. You can only use words to ease the atmosphere.
"I don't want to listen to your preaching." Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
"You always have all kinds of reasons and all kinds of lies. When it comes to being reasonable, few people can be your opponent."
"I haven't lied to you since the last time I met you."
"Ha, that's ridiculous."
Zhu Zhuqing twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly twisted fake smile.
Staring at his close eyes, she clenched her silver teeth.
"You said you didn't lie to me, you just randomly picked out some truths to deceive me. What, do you think I was still the little girl who was isolated and bullied when I was six years old and went to school?"
