Chapter 3: Is Tang San an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?

"Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa were killed? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect destroyed?"

Upon seeing this sentence on the diary, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, she stood frozen in place, her small face full of disbelief.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa couldn't have died, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect certainly wouldn't be destroyed! What the hell is this guy spouting?!"

After a brief moment of stupor, anger followed; if Luo Ye were in front of Ning Rongrong, she would definitely make him look bad.

It's a pity that, despite Ning Rongrong being full of rage, she now has nowhere to vent it.

Beside her, Sword Douluo Chenxin noticed Ning Rongrong's abnormality and frowned, saying.

"Rongrong, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange since just now; could it be that you've changed your mind and aren't preparing to go to that Shilaike Academy?"

As for Ning Rongrong going to Shilaike Academy, in fact Ning Fengzhi, Chenxin, and Gu Rong have all along disapproved.

What kind of inferior melons and split dates are the principal and teachers of Shilaike Academy?

Not to mention Tiandou Royal Academy; even the resources offered by the Five Elements Academy are incomparable to Shilaike, which is stuck in a poor, remote place.

And yet they claim to accept only monsters, not geniuses—I really don't know how they have the nerve to shout such a slogan.

Yet Ning Rongrong, as if possessed, refuses the better academies, dead set on going to Shilaike; no amount of persuasion helps.

In fact, Ning Rongrong's desire to go to Shilaike has nothing to do with the so-called monster academy's name; it's simply because she's hit her rebellious phase, wanting to get farther from home to gain more freedom.

Now, having seen that terrifying future again in the diary copy, her resolve to go to Shilaike is even stronger.

We must determine whether what's written in the diary is true or not; no matter what, we cannot let those things become reality!

The key point is that Ning Rongrong has already looked at the items in the Points Mall; to put it mildly, pulling out any one of them would cause a huge sensation across the entire Douluo Continent.

However, the only way to earn points is to have one's name appear every day in Luo Ye's diary; what could be easier to get written in the diary than staying by Luo Ye's side?

Upon thinking this, Ning Rongrong squeezed out a smile and looked at Chenxin as she spoke.

"Of course not; I'm just curious about what kind of people my future companions will be."

Chenxin was obviously a little disappointed by that answer, and she shook her head slightly as she spoke.

"With Shilaike Academy's resources and reputation, it's hard for any genuine genius to join willingly; even if some do, they're likely deceived due to low status and narrow horizons, mistakenly thinking the academy is truly great, or they simply couldn't get into a better academy because of their own circumstances—Rongrong, you should be disappointed."

Ning Rongrong largely agreed with Chenxin's words, but she still insisted.

"It's fine, Sword Grandpa; I can't forever live under your protection—I must venture out on my own, and if I truly feel Shilaike isn't right for me, I'll leave."

Alright then.

Chenxin let out a silent sigh, stopped trying to persuade her, and continued leading her toward Suoto City, where Shilaike Academy is located.

The owners of the diary copies heading to Suoto City are not only Ning Rongrong; Xiao Wu is also on the road at this time.

Moreover, compared to Ning Rongrong's shock, Xiao Wu is clearly finding it harder to accept the content shown in the diary.

"Third Brother is an extraterrestrial heavenly demon? I was forced into sacrifice by his scheming? Even Da Ming and Er Ming were killed because he needed spirit rings and spirit bones?"

"Nonsense! This is definitely not true; that guy is just spouting nonsense!"

Xiao Wu stared at the content on the diary, feeling angry while a hint of panic arose in her heart.

She couldn't believe it, nor did she want to believe the content was true; she even had the thought of driving the diary copy out of her mind.

However, no matter how she tried, it was to no avail; this situation made Xiao Wu deeply realize that this diary copy is anything but ordinary.

As a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, even though Xiao Wu's combat prowess isn't outstanding, attempting to silently slip the diary into her mind would be impossible even for the strongest fierce beast of the Star Dou Great Forest's depths, Emperor Tian.

Especially since she had just deliberately tried to speak of the diary's existence, but before she could act, a wave of palpitations came over her, making her understand that speaking would surely mean death.

After all these circumstances added up, Xiao Wu also came to terms with reality, no longer hoping to rid herself of the diary, but she certainly won't therefore believe the content written in it.

No matter how you say it, she has spent several years getting along with Tang San, who has always cared for her like an older brother; Xiao Wu has long been accustomed to relying on him.

"I will surely expose your lies and clear Third Brother's name! Just you wait!"

After Xiao Wu gritted her teeth in a burst, she continued looking at the following content.

【At this time, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu must also be on their way to Shilaike Academy; Ning Rongrong likely has either Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo accompanying her as protection, after all, she is the eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect making her first trip far from home.】

【Xiao Wu, however, is with Tang San, but she doesn't know that besides Tang San, there is another person secretly following from the shadows—that person is none other than Tang Hao, who bears the title of Haotian Douluo!】

【As far as I know, when Tang San and Xiao Wu first met at the Primary Spirit Master Academy, Tang Hao had already discovered her identity as a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, and at that time he had harbored murderous intent.】

【But after observing her in secret for a period, Tang Hao still did not act; this is certainly not because Tang Hao suddenly became benevolent, but because he wanted to spare Xiao Wu's life first, waiting until Tang San's physique was sufficient to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring before making a move.】

【That way, Tang San could simultaneously obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, thereby maximizing his benefit.】

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu's pupils contracted sharply, cold sweat instantly drenched her back, her steps became unsteady, and she actually fell straight to the ground from not standing firm.

"My spirit beast identity has already been exposed?!"

Xiao Wu was stunned, sitting on the ground trembling, and she didn't even have the courage to look around for Tang Hao's traces to verify whether Luo Ye was lying.

Tang San saw her panicked look and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Feeling Tang San's gaze upon her, Xiao Wu took a deep breath, forced herself to calm, and with difficulty squeezed out a smile as she spoke.

"I-I'm fine; I just don't know what tripped me."

Just as Tang San was about to say something, Xiao Wu stood up and changed the subject.

"Alright, Third Brother, let's keep going."
