This is a translation. "A descendant of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners, Gu Yi, finds himself transported into the world of Douluo Continent, where he awakens to the martial spirit most familiar to him from his past life. Will he be able to leverage his own advantages and dominate the continent? Which is stronger, martial arts or spirit skills? Will he assist characters such as the arrogant Phoenix Ma Hongjun, the carefree White Tiger Dai Mubai, the Asura God Tang San, the threatening Ning Rongrong, and the willful Xiao Wu in becoming exemplary figures of the new era? It remains to be seen."

Chapter 32: Soul Capture

 As everyone's thoughts were swirling, Gu Yi also arrived at the playground.

"Vice Dean, everyone is here." At this moment, Oscar respectfully addressed him as Vice Dean instead of Brother Yi. There was a clear distinction between personal relationships and the current situation, and Oscar knew where to draw the line.

"Mm." Gu Yi looked at the seven people in front of him, his expression inexplicable. But Tang San keenly noticed that Gu Yi had undergone quite a few changes in both temperament and aura compared to before. Changing one's temperament in a short time was extremely difficult. Tang San couldn't quite understand Gu Yi's current situation.

"Everyone, it's regrettable." A hint of red flashed in his eyes, "I'm curious, what makes you think I'm easy to talk to?" There was no deliberate release of pressure, but several people still felt as if facing a formidable enemy. Simply standing there was enough to make the weaker ones breathless.

Oscar realized that someone among them had crossed Gu Yi's bottom line. But who was it? Not only Oscar, but Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others were also reflecting on their recent actions. There was no change, and even because of Zhu Zhuqing's arrival, he had gone out less frequently.

"Ning Rongrong, step forward." Gu Yi's gaze was sharp as he stared at Ning Rongrong among the crowd. Then he swept his gaze towards the rest of them, wanting to see who had violated the taboo of teaching Ning Rongrong the Pure Yuan Gong technique. Ning Rongrong still looked fearless, stepping forward without any fear, and instead staring straight at Gu Yi. She completely forgot the scene where Gu Yi had frightened her with just a glance.

"Where did you learn the Pure Yuan Gong technique?" Gu Yi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. It's one thing to learn, but the real one who disregarded his request was the one who needed to be taught. Ning Rongrong, however, was playing the role of a loyal friend and didn't want to betray Xiao Wu.

"This is what I deserve." Regarding Ning Rongrong's avoidance of the issue, Gu Yi smirked, "Do you think I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me who it was?" Looking at the other six people, he already had an answer in his heart.

"Now step forward, maybe I'll go easy on you. If I have to find out on my own, things won't be so simple." Tang San, being a mature person, immediately understood what was going on, especially seeing Xiao Wu, who seemed a bit panicked. It must have been Xiao Wu who taught her. With this in mind, Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu, who was trying to step forward. He had said before that no matter what, if anyone wanted to harm her, they would have to step over his dead body first. Tang San never forgot those words. In terms of purity, Tang San was impeccable.

"Oh, Tang San, do you think just because Clear Sky Douluo is backing you up, I won't dare touch you?" Gu Yi chuckled lightly, truly a fearless character.

"I don't understand what you're saying? Ning Rongrong's technique was taught by me. Is there a problem with that?" Frowning, Tang San didn't know Clear Sky Douluo, but that didn't stop him from admitting to this wrongdoing.

"I suppose as a disciple of a grandmaster, you should understand the consequences of teaching techniques without permission, right? But I'm not one to harm the innocent, so would you like to continue standing there with a clear conscience?" Gu Yi didn't let it slide just because Tang San stepped forward. 

But Xiao Wu didn't want Tang San to accept punishment for her, and in her eyes, it wasn't a big deal. For the six years she had known, besides eating, drinking, and having fun, she had always followed Tang San and called him "Brother San." Even her own hatred had long been forgotten, let alone the rules of the Spirit Master world.

"It's me," Xiao Wu stood beside Ning Rongrong in a sisterly manner, but together they weren't as imposing as Zhu Zhuqing.

"Very well, it seems sometimes a rabbit's courage can be quite great." Gu Yi looked meaningfully at Xiao Wu. Although there was no tone that made people uncomfortable, Xiao Wu felt as if she had been seen through.

"I remember saying that techniques should not be taught without permission, right?" Gu Yi walked up to Xiao Wu, and the immense pressure made her breathless. Xiao Wu felt as if she were enveloped in shadow, devoid of light.

"Isn't it just thirty credits? We can gather them among us and pay you back." Ning Rongrong didn't want Xiao Wu to be punished because of her and said proudly.

"Pay me back?" Hearing this, Gu Yi became even angrier, but he didn't show it. He wanted to see what interesting things would happen next. Indeed, she was a young lady who came out of a major sect, speaking with such arrogance.

Ning Rongrong didn't realize the current situation at all, directly turning to Oscar and saying, "Don't you like me? Help me with thirty credits." Oscar was still attracted by Ning Rongrong's appearance, but he was also more sensible. Good looks were common, but an interesting personality was rare. Ning Rongrong looked good indeed, but her personality was not something he could accept. Moreover, this matter was clearly Ning Rongrong's fault, yet she still behaved as if she were in the right. The natural filter brought by a beauty had its limits.

"Admitting your mistakes would be better. The Vice Dean won't be too harsh." Oscar reminded them.

"If you're not willing, you're not willing. Aren't you just an auxiliary spirit master? You'll never catch up with us at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Tang San, I know you've earned the most credits recently. As long as you're willing to give me thirty credits, you'll be friends with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan." Ning Rongrong was still shameless, even at this point, acting high and mighty. Asking for help wasn't done like this. Of course, in her heart, this shouldn't be considered asking for help. It was more like charity. The reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was enough to cover the sky.

Tang San frowned and ignored Ning Rongrong, looking at Gu Yi instead. "If I give you these thirty credits, will everything be settled?"

"No." Gu Yi flashed in front of Ning Rongrong.

"Fast." Tang San, as the one with the most outstanding eyesight here, didn't notice Gu Yi's movements.

"What do you want to do? I am the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If you dare touch me, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan won't let you off. Not to mention just a small Spirit King like you, even the entire Shrek Academy will have to bury itself with you." Ning Rongrong directly sneered.

"Kill you? No, no, no, that wouldn't be fun. Look at me." There seemed to be a hint of fascination in Gu Yi's voice, and Ning Rongrong subconsciously raised her head to look into Gu Yi's eyes. Those eyes seemed to contain the vastness of the starry sky, concealing an imperceptible red light behind them. Ning Rongrong's gaze became vacant.

"From today on, you will forget your identity as a spirit master, as well as the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. You will be a beggar living in the city of Soutou." After Gu Yi finished speaking, Ning Rongrong's vacant gaze became clear again, and she muttered something quietly in her mouth. If one got closer, they would hear. "I am a beggar, I am a beggar." Ning Rongrong walked out of Shrek Academy, out of this village, and headed towards the city of Soutou.
