Chapter 48: Has Kong’s Cultivation Method Been Exposed?

Chapter 48: Has Kong's Cultivation Method Been Exposed?

Dugu Yan recalled her time at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. She remembered a teacher named Qin Ming who particularly enjoyed these strategic soul battles.

From time to time, Teacher Qin would take the students to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena to compete in soul battles.

"Engaging in many soul battles is beneficial, but don't take these combat experiences too seriously. True life-and-death struggles often happen in an instant, without the opportunity to display so many flashy soul skills," Kong said, shaking his head.

Qin Ming, he knew, was currently the most successful graduate of Shrek Academy. He had become a Heaven Dou-level teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, highly regarded by the three Soul Douluo on the Education Committee.

The Heaven Dou Empire didn't have a Titled Douluo of its own. Dugu Bo could only be considered a guest official who could leave at any time. Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire highly valued Qin Ming, a genius who broke through to the Soul Emperor level at the age of thirty, and exceptionally allowed him to guide the Royal Fight Team.

"Kong, you know so much!" Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled with admiration, causing Kong to feel a chill run down his spine.

Is this what they call a love-struck mind? No matter what you say, whether it makes sense or not, whether it's feasible or not, she thinks you're right!

Douluo Continent truly deserves its name as the continent of romance!

After watching for a while longer, the two finally left the soul arena, feeling a bit disinterested. With their current strength, there was nothing impressive about watching a battle between two Soul Grandmasters.

Kong and Dugu Yan were about to get something to eat and then return to the hotel to rest. Just as they sat down, they encountered Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance with Kong, thought for a moment, and then walked over with Zhu Zhuqing.

To be honest, she didn't want to see Kong and Dugu Yan right now because she felt defeated!

These past few days, she had been seriously demoralized by Kong. The gap in their soul power levels was simply despairing! And in such a situation, he still had time to study desserts!

Both were geniuses, but why was the gap between her and him so vast?

"Maybe that's why Father looks at him differently," Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

Compared to Kong, the other members of Shrek, so-called geniuses and monsters, were nothing!

"Kong, Sister Yan, we meet again so soon!"

Indeed, they had met by chance at noon, and now they met again in the evening.

Ning Rongrong planned to rest for the night with Zhu Zhuqing and return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tomorrow to resolve Zhu Zhuqing's matters first. She didn't expect to run into Kong and Dugu Yan as soon as they arrived in Soto City. Could this be fate?

"I really don't want to see you," Dugu Yan said, looking at Kong before continuing, "And neither does Kong."

Kong: "…"

Ning Rongrong: "…"

Zhu Zhuqing blinked. It seemed like there was some story between the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!

And this older sister, she must be at odds with Ning Rongrong, right? According to Ning Rongrong's introduction yesterday, this woman was the granddaughter of Poison Douluo!

Even though she didn't know who Poison Douluo was, it didn't stop Zhu Zhuqing from watching the drama unfold.

"I'm such a lovely girl, adored by everyone and everything, how could you possibly not want to see me!" Ning Rongrong said, a bit unhappy.

Every time she saw Dugu Yan, she would call her Sister Yan, but Dugu Yan didn't appreciate it at all!

"You…"

Dugu Yan glanced at Ning Rongrong, then at Zhu Zhuqing, who was silently watching the scene unfold. For a moment, Dugu Yan was silent.

Ning Rongrong was indeed quite pretty, a typical beautiful girl, but next to Zhu Zhuqing, she seemed to fade into the background.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing again, Dugu Yan felt an inexplicable sadness. She really couldn't understand how this girl had grown up!

Comparing oneself to others is infuriating!

She, Dugu Yan, was already eighteen, at the prime of her youth. Yet, compared to an eleven-year-old girl, she lost miserably! And there was no contest about it!

Kong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, only slightly surprised. After all, he spent his days with the Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei. These two were the real deal...

Having been in such an environment for several years, he had developed a strong resistance!

Although he still couldn't resist his wife's charm, when facing other beauties, he could max out his resistance!

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dugu Yan and Kong with a puzzled expression. Why were they suddenly looking at her, the bystander?

Both of them fell silent.

Seeing Dugu Yan's expression, Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion, then had a sudden realization!

She had noticed this yesterday but hadn't accepted this reality yet.

Lowering her head and looking at her feet, Ning Rongrong's face turned red. Why were they so disappointing?

"I'm still young, unlike Dugu Yan, unlike Dugu Yan... She's probably hopeless, but I'm different!" Ning Rongrong thought to herself, constantly comforting herself. Only this way could she lessen her sadness.

After a while, the four of them sat around a table, staring at each other, none of them initiating a conversation.

As the only young man present, Kong was the least suited to start talking.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Such silent confrontation was the most deadly!

"Kong, how exactly do you cultivate?" Ning Rongrong finally broke the silence and changed the topic.

Continuing to look at Zhu Zhuqing, the conversation couldn't continue today.

Ning Rongrong knew it was inappropriate to ask this. Soul Masters had their secrets, but she couldn't help asking!

Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gave Kong all their cultivation resources, it was impossible for him to become a Soul Emperor in just six years!

If it were just a matter of piling up resources to create a strong soul master, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would have long dominated the Douluo Continent! That was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's confidence!

Just as Dugu Yan was about to tell Ning Rongrong that she didn't understand the rules, Kong waved his hand, and Dugu Yan fell silent, holding Kong's hand without a word.

"My cultivation method is very simple, and your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan knows it."

Indeed, Sword Douluo had spied on his cultivation more than once! Everyone just kept it a secret.

"We know?" Ning Rongrong was puzzled. How could she not know this?

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan really knew Kong's cultivation method, why wouldn't they let the disciples use it?

This was a method to quickly enhance strength!

"Yes, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan does indeed know my cultivation method."

Kong nodded seriously, speaking with conviction.

So what if they knew? Would they dare to cultivate like this?

Even if they had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough!

"I really don't know…" Ning Rongrong said, looking confused.

She really didn't know!
