Chapter 70: Poison Douluo

"I don't need it, what you gave me earlier is enough," Ning Rongrong hastily waved her hand in refusal.

She came from a privileged background and wasn't the type to take advantage of others. Her previous words were just casual remarks, not aimed at Su Cheng.

The three bottles of medicine in front of her looked even better in appearance compared to the previous ones.

"You should keep them, no need to be polite with me," Su Cheng insisted.

"Do these also enhance soul power?" Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly as she hesitantly reached out to accept them.

"Pour them into warm bathwater, soak in it for an hour during your bath, use one bottle each day, and it will enhance your physical foundation."

Ning Rongrong was taken aback.

It wasn't about enhancing soul power, but about enhancing the physical foundation?

But she was just an auxiliary soul master.

Su Cheng guessed her thoughts and smiled, "As I said before, even as an auxiliary soul master, you should have some means of self-defense. Regardless, I truly consider you as a younger sister and at least hope you have the right to choose your own future. If you're unwilling to train, using some medicine is better than nothing."

Ning Rongrong looked at the three glass bottles in her hand with a mixture of emotions.

She wasn't sure of the exact value of these medicines, but just the one that helped her breakthrough her bottleneck earlier was definitely extraordinary.

After experiencing the exhilaration of leveling up in seconds, she dared not underestimate Su Cheng's abilities in this regard.

Moreover, Su Cheng's unexpected words just now also caught her off guard.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's changing expression, Su Cheng also felt some emotions.

Finally, there's someone whose personality hasn't changed much from before.

Since coming to Tian Dou City, he had noticed that many key characters in the plot had changed somewhat.

However, whether it was Qian Renxue or Ning Fengzhi, he still had some understanding of them from the simulated world, and could clearly sense the strangeness about these people.

Fortunately, although Ning Fengzhi's behavior was somewhat peculiar, overall, he still resembled the image of the supreme auxiliary sect master that he knew.

Smooth in handling matters, adept at diplomacy, and everywhere trying to recruit talents. Otherwise, he would face even more constraints.

Up to now, only Ning Rongrong still seemed relatively normal.

Although she had a bit of a princess temperament, as long as the right medicine was used and approved, it was easy to deal with her.

"By the way, how much do you know about the Crown Prince of the Empire?" Su Cheng asked suddenly.

"I know some, why?" Surprised by Su Cheng's sudden mention of Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong looked puzzled.

"He looks quite serious, dressed all in black. I've never seen a nobleman dress like that before."

"Well..." Ning Rongrong hesitated before speaking slowly, "indeed, he used to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a guest, and he didn't look like this at first."

"What?" Su Cheng was taken aback, "What was he like back then?"

"He seemed very kind and courteous, well-mannered, and had a good reputation. At that time, my father also admired him a lot. However, in recent years, his visits have become less frequent, and my father has mentioned that he can't quite figure him out."

"When did this change happen?" Su Cheng's expression changed suddenly.

"That was about four years ago," Ning Rongrong recalled, "At that time, there were many discussions in the upper circles of the imperial city about this."

"Four years ago?!" Su Cheng's face changed suddenly.

Wasn't that the time when he had just left Wang Su Village and entered the Nuo Ding Academy?

So, Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue's change originated from himself?

If it was because of himself, then it was actually a good thing.

He was most afraid that this world wasn't the original timeline, just like there was no Tang San, the transmigrator, in the simulated world, and this world was also a different Douluo world.

If that were the case, his prophetic advantage would be completely nullified.

But what exactly was the reason for this change?

Was it because of his awakening as a martial soul?

Or was it because of the activation of the simulator?

Or was it because of a conflict with Tang San, the son of destiny of this world, which inadvertently changed something?

However, when he entered the simulation, it seemed that there was something mentioned about the "String of Fate", was it related to that?

...

In the following days, Su Cheng spent most of his time quietly practicing in the academy, occasionally giving some guidance to Ning Rongrong.

According to Su Cheng's observation, the effect of enhancing her physique after using the forging body medicine was indeed quite good.

After all, as an auxiliary soul master, her physique was inherently weak, and she absorbed the effects of the medicine better than an ordinary person.

Ning Rongrong became closer to him, but Su Cheng wasn't very good at dealing with a girl of her age, so most of the time he let her train with the team.

During this time, Yu Tianheng often showed concern for Su Cheng, rarely interfering with the fact that he didn't often train with the team.

However, there were some probing words from time to time, and occasionally he asked about the medicines.

Su Cheng understood what he meant and didn't bother to refuse, just asking the other party to wait a few days.

Yu Tianheng did have a good impression of Su Cheng.

In his eyes, Su Cheng's strength and talent were unparalleled, yet he was easy to get along with without competing or fighting for anything.

Although he didn't usually train with the team, he didn't monopolize Ning Rongrong, the top auxiliary soul master, showing great tolerance.

However, thinking of the family's stance, he was still somewhat troubled.

Being referred to as brothers and sisters with the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even becoming the only disciple of the Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the proud identity he took pride in was not an advantage at all.

The current method was to play the emotional card.

Su Cheng could also guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

During this period, apart from practicing soul power, Su Cheng spent most of his time honing his swordsmanship, which wasn't convenient to do with others.

Moreover, those people couldn't keep up with his pace.

After nearly a month passed, the person he had been waiting for finally arrived.

...

At the Tian Dou Royal Academy, in the team lounge.

At this moment, besides Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, there was also an old man sitting with Dugu Yan. The two seemed very close, sitting together and chatting, with the old man patiently listening to Dugu Yan.

At first glance, the old man seemed ordinary, wearing a simple gray robe, but upon closer inspection, he was quite extraordinary.

His slender figure sat upright like a spear, with green hair and eyes that shimmered like emeralds.

He exuded an aura that was deep and unfathomable, like an abyss.

His cheeks were slightly stiff, with sunken cheeks, and his green hair was scattered untidily on his head.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his eyes half-closed, not even giving Yu Tianheng, who stood nearby, a glance, just patiently listening to Dugu Yan's words.
