Chapter 161: Perhaps I'm Really not Talented

...

The next morning, everyone from Shrek was sitting in the hotel restaurant, enjoying breakfast. Except for Zhu Zhuqing, everyone else was present.

"Rongrong, you don't look well. Did you not rest well last night?" Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong, who seemed absent-minded and tired, and asked with concern.

"Huh? It's nothing, hehe." Ning Rongrong was initially taken aback, but then smiled at Xiao Wu.

Last night, she couldn't sleep well because of what Zeng Yi said. That's why she was in this drowsy state.

But why does this guy still look energetic? I've been hitting him against the wall all the time, and he can still sleep peacefully?

Seeing Zeng Yi looking all energetic, Ning Rongrong felt quite unfair.

Xiao Wu noticed Ning Rongrong's gaze towards Zeng Yi and her disgruntled expression. She knew that Ning Rongrong was feeling this way because of Zeng Yi.

This amused Xiao Wu.

These two are really interesting.

"By the way, where is Zhu Zhuqing?" Ning Rongrong carefully observed the surroundings and noticed that Zhu Zhuqing was not present. She asked.

"She's still in her room, probably still cultivating." Xiao Wu replied. She had gone to call Zhu Zhuqing in the morning but didn't get a response. However, she could sense Zhu Zhuqing's aura in the room, so she must be in a crucial moment of cultivation. That's why Xiao Wu didn't bother calling her again. She would naturally come down once she finished.

While they were discussing Zhu Zhuqing, a figure slowly walked towards them. It was indeed Zhu Zhuqing, holding Xiao Ju in her hands.

"Zhu Zhuqing! Come over here!" Xiao Wu waved and called out to Zhu Zhuqing, wanting her to sit with the girls.

Hearing Xiao Wu's call, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze towards her and nodded in acknowledgment. However, instead of heading towards Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's table, she walked towards the Teachers.

"Grandmaster, Dean, my soul power has reached level thirty." Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of the Teachers and said calmly.

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was not low, and all the other students from Shrek could clearly hear her.

"What? You're level thirty?" Everyone was shocked by Zhu Zhuqing's words.

They knew that Zhu Zhuqing was the youngest student among them, not even thirteen yet, and she had already reached level thirty. With just one soul ring, she could become a Soul Elder.

This was just like Tang San and Xiao Wu, who became Soul Elder at twelve. Their talents were terrifying!

But they also knew that Zhu Zhuqing worked harder and was more diligent than anyone else. Achieving this kind of result was only natural.

While they were amazed, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes glanced at Zeng Yi.

She knew that she was able to reach level thirty in such a short time because of Zeng Yi's guidance. If it weren't for him, she would probably still be the weakest among the seven students.

Before Zeng Yi arrived at Shrek Academy, she had just reached level twenty-nine. After more than a month of training with Zeng Yi and a month of battles, cultivation, and consolidation in the Spirit Arena, her soul power finally broke through to level thirty.

Zhu Zhuqing now wanted to obtain a soul ring and become a Soul Elder so that her strength could become even stronger.

I can keep up with your footsteps.

Seeing Zeng Yi's surprised expression, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled up into a slight smile.

Flender looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his expression somewhat complicated.

When these students first arrived at Shrek Academy, in his opinion, Zhu Zhuqing had the worst talent among the seven.

Tang San, of course, didn't need to be mentioned. He could cultivate the Blue Silver Grass to such an extent, coupled with his strange skills and high cultivation talent, he had the best talent among all the students. His sister, Xiao Wu, had full innate soul power like him and possessed incredible flexibility skills. Once she got close, no one could deal with her.

Ning Rongrong, the world's number one auxiliary martial soul, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. At this age, with a soul power of level 27, her talent was self-evident.

Oscar, a food system martial soul with full innate soul power, had an unlimited future.

Dai Mubai, although a bit older, was already a high-level Soul Elder. His martial soul, the White Tiger, was even more powerful than that of Oscar. His talent was also very good.

Ma Hongjun, Flender's direct disciple, had a mutated Phoenix martial soul, Evil Fire Phoenix . As a beast martial soul, it was even stronger than Dai Mubai's White Tiger, and his talent was considered even higher than Dai Mubai's.

But Zhu Zhuqing, when she first arrived at Shrek Academy, had the same soul power as Ma Hongjun, level twenty-eight, with her martial soul being the Hell Civet. She only had some advantage in terms of speed. Compared to the others, her talent was lacking.

Flender believed that Ma Hongjun would definitely surpass Zhu Zhuqing and break through to level thirty before her, reaching the level of a Soul Elder faster.

However, Zhu Zhuqing, with her relentless spirit, worked hard and took the lead in reaching level twenty-nine, surpassing Ma Hongjun. After Zeng Yi arrived, she learned his swordsmanship and made up for her deficiencies in martial soul attacks. Her strength became stronger, no longer one that Ma Hongjun could match. She stepped into the realm of a Soul Elder before Ma Hongjun reached level twenty-nine, taking a step towards becoming a Soul Elder.

It can be said that with her unwavering determination, Zhu Zhuqing has changed herself! She became a student with above-average qualifications among the seven. If one day her swordsmanship reaches the level of Zeng Yi's, then she would surpass everyone.

Thinking about his own disciple, who only knew how to be lazy and thought about going out to have fun and didn't put effort into cultivation, Flender really wanted to smack Ma Hongjun against the wall.

If Ma Hongjun had half of Zhu Zhuqing's perseverance, things wouldn't be like this!

Flender couldn't help but sigh.

As Ma Hongjun felt the sudden chill behind him, his chubby body couldn't help but shiver.

Who is targeting me again?

After the surprise, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel happy for Zhu Zhuqing's breakthrough. After all, she was like his half-disciple, and her achievement was also his credit.

But then he thought about it. At the age of twelve, she's already a Soul Elder, and what about me? At the age of twelve, I seem to have only a level twenty-eight soul power. The other students in Shrek, averaging thirteen years old, are already Soul Elders. Only I am struggling at level thirty-six.

Comparing himself with others, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel that his talent was really mediocre, and he began to doubt his life.

Well, it doesn't matter. After all, they all have innate full soul power, innate level nine, level eight soul power. Mine is just an innate level four soul power given by the system, and I can't compare. I can't compare.

"It's better to wait, Zhu Zhuqing. There are still three days left for your points in the Spirit Arena to be settled. Based on your points, you will definitely be able to get the Silver Soul Badge. At that time, your second stage of training will be completed. We'll accompany you to get the soul ring in a few days." The Grandmaster said.

In the Spirit Arena, the points were settled once every month, and the Soul Badges were graded based on the current points.

"Okay then." Since the Grandmaster said so, Zhu Zhuqing could only give up for now. However, a slight trace of disappointment could still be seen on her composed face.
