Chapter 19: line with translation of chapter title

Xiao Wu saw Tang San in the process of absorbing a soul ring, and her gaze involuntarily shifted to the Human-Faced Demon Spider beside him.

"Oh no, this Human-Faced Demon Spider is over two thousand years old; it has already exceeded the absorption limit for a third soul ring." Xiao Wu's heart tightened, and any thoughts of Two Bright and hatred were thrown to the back of her mind.

Upon hearing this, Flander and Zhao Wuji's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu explained on her own: "I've been studying alongside Third Brother since I was young, and through constant exposure I've read many books on soul beasts; judging the age of a thousand-year soul beast is still not difficult."

Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and looked at Tang San: "Now we can only choose to believe that Tang San will pull through; since he made this choice, he must have some confidence."

Saying this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Zhuqing, you wouldn't be—" Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, somewhat suspicious that she might be gloating over past events.

Zhu Zhuqing patted Xiao Wu's shoulder: "Xiao Wu, I don't mean to hope that Tang San fails; I just recalled our previous argument, and I want him to break it himself."

"So I find it interesting."

Upon hearing this, not only did Xiao Wu's expression change, but Flander's face also showed an angry look.

"Zhu Zhuqing, at a time like this, the thing you're concerned about is this; I am truly disappointed in you."

Despite Flander's anger, Zhu Zhuqing still felt a bit wary; the smile on her face faded somewhat.

"Sorry, Dean Flander."

That light apology eased the atmosphere a little.

However, Dai Mubai and the others could all tell that Tang San himself wasn't firmly confident in his teacher's theory; he was attempting to break it.

Earlier, he had been arguing with Zhu Zhuqing in a righteous manner, even giving her a cold stare.

Oscar's thoughtful mind couldn't help but wonder more; whether this master's theory was truly worthy of complete trust.

Or perhaps.

Was it merely to curry favor? Oscar shook his head, not daring to think too deeply, lest overthinking affect brotherly feelings.

In the end, Tang San obtained an external soul bone and an over-age-limit soul ring, and reunited with Xiao Wu; he could be called a winner in a happy, fulfilling life.

They happily returned to Shrek Academy.

Unexpectedly, at the academy gate they saw two unexpected figures: one was the Master, and the other was Ning Rongrong.

She actually dared to come back.

What astonished everyone was that Ning Rongrong rushed over and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm, appearing very familiar.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't resist, silently thinking that if Flander wasn't willing to help her hunt for a soul ring,

she could still ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for help.

Seeing his teacher, Tang San was extremely excited, his eagerness to learn evident; he almost wanted to grab the Master and ask him questions right away.

Flander straightened his expression and said: "Alright, everyone worked hard on this soul ring hunt; go rest, you're given a day off."

Oscar, despite his fatigue, glanced at Ning Rongrong a couple more times and realized he couldn't get a word in.

He left wearily.

He had originally wanted to share the good news about his mushroom sausage with Ning Rongrong, but he didn't even get a chance to speak.

Everyone was tired.

Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing back to the room, eagerly asking: "Hey! Zhuqing, what exactly is your relationship with the sect master Yang Yun of the Broken Heaven Sect? Are you lovers?"

Zhu Zhuqing: "???"

Broken Heaven Sect? Lovers?

What nonsense is this? However, the keyword "Yang Yun" caught Zhu Zhuqing's attention.

She spoke vaguely: "There's nothing between us; I was being chased and he happened to save me; I merely promised to deliver a message for him."

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing suspiciously and laughed.

Zhu Zhuqing found Ning Rongrong's enthusiasm a bit overwhelming, but this enthusiasm was just her familiarly pulling her to talk; it was also hard to refuse.

So they ended up chatting about everything that had happened along the way.

Ning Rongrong's expression turned sly and clever as she took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said: "It's fine, Zhuqing; from now on I'll watch over you—tell me anything; I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind me."

"Don't think I'm approaching you because of that Yang Yun connection; I genuinely want to be sisters with you—you don't know I used to be alone in my family, lonely to death."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded helplessly, thus agreeing.

Now the relationships at Shrek Academy are extremely chaotic, all kinds of connections intertwined complexly.

Dai Mubai still fantasized about rekindling his past with Zhu Zhuqing, but he and Ning Rongrong are like fire and water, with no reconciliation.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong teamed up for warmth, and neither has much fondness for Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai's fantasy was already baseless, and now with Ning Rongrong beside him blowing wind, it's even less likely.

Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship is just average, and Ning Rongrong also wants to buy hidden weapons from Tang San; as for the price, the impeccable Tang God King probably won't be courteous with Ning Rongrong.

Behind Zhu Zhuqing now stands the Broken Heaven Sect, and she also has some involvement with the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

The Broken Heaven Sect has dealings with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which outwardly supports the Tian Dou Empire.

Now Ning Fengzhi is trying to find a way to make up for it; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's martial soul must evolve, but they also can't let the trade ruin the years of friendship built with the Tian Dou Empire.

Martial Soul City.

Bibi Dong stared at the documents before her, gripping the scepter tightly; seeing the three words "Qian Xunji" again, her inner anger could not be quelled for a long time.

She flung the documents to the ground and coldly ordered: "Send this information to the Hall of Worship."

Ju Douluo's body trembled; scanning the surroundings, there was no one else; he could only wryly accept this thankless task.

Arriving at the gates of the Hall of Worship, a deep voice came from inside: "Little Chrysanthemum, you're not qualified to step in here; leave the things and get out."

Ju Douluo's face darkened for a moment, but the other party were a group of Super Douluo, even Peak Douluo; a true man doesn't suffer immediate losses.

He tossed the documents and turned to leave.

In the Hall of Worship, the Grand Worshipper Qian Daoliu saw on the documents that Tang Hao had reappeared in the world, and he had already received confirmation from the Suotian City branch.

That day, there were indeed traces of a battle involving Title Douluo outside the city, and the deep pit remained.

"Thousand jun, subduing demons; since the other side has revealed themselves, you go make a trip; otherwise let the outside world know that Tang Hao's reappearance in the Spirit Hall leaves them unmoved; what becomes of the Spirit Hall's dignity?" The Grand Sacrificial Priest said lightly.

Qian Daoliu knows that the murderer of Qian Xunji is Bibi Dong; so what?

The outside world rumors that Tang Hao did the killing, and if it weren't Tang Hao, how could Bibi Dong have a chance to act?

Since that's the case, he must be placed on the Sacrificial Hall's kill list; he must die! And at this moment, Tang Hao is already in Tian Dou City.

Moon Pavilion.

Tang Yuehua was delighted by Tang Hao's appearance, and what's more shocking is that she actually has a nephew.

Not only does he possess innate full soul power, but he also has a twin martial soul, a one-in-a-million rarity; such extraordinary talent in this qilin child must not die young in the outside world.

Tang Yuehua, after countless thoughts, has figured it out: why would Tang Hao appear at the Moon Pavilion?

"Second brother, has your whereabouts already been exposed? So Xiao San will be in danger? Right?"
