Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 57 Xue Qinghe? Qian Renxue!
On the outskirts of Soto, the setting sun bathed the wooden houses in gold.

When the group of "No Thieves Under Heaven" returned to the camp, Ning Rongrong was kicking pebbles out of boredom.

She widened her eyes in surprise when she saw that her father and Bone Douluo were traveling with the group of Thieves Under Heaven.

"Dad, Grandpa Bone? How come you're with them?!"

She's been waiting here for almost a whole day, but no one has come.

Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward and gently stroked his daughter's hair: "Rongrong, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

He immediately apologized, as if afraid that the thief would discover Ning Rongrong's devilish temper and demand a refund.

Ning Rongrong pouted, about to complain, but suddenly realized that the occasion was inappropriate.

She secretly glanced at the thief-free world, swallowed back the complaints that were on the tip of her tongue, and just muttered under her breath.

“I’ve been waiting all day, Dad, and you found them first.”

This subtle change startled Ning Fengzhi. The once spoiled little devil had actually learned to restrain herself.
The thief watched the interaction between the father and daughter with a cold eye and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Pretend, keep pretending!
Do you think I don't know Ning Rongrong's temper?

If it weren't for the fact that she could still be saved, I would have switched to a different support-type Soul Master long ago.

"Sect Leader Ning," he interrupted the father and daughter inappropriately, "I've accepted her. Remember our agreement. If she doesn't see what I want before level 30, then our cooperation is off."

Ning Fengzhi's expression hardened, and his tone became firm: "Holy Son, rest assured, I never break my word. However, I also hope that you will not break your word."

Given his status, obtaining the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family would not be difficult for him.

Then he turned to Ning Rongrong and instructed her: "Rongrong, you must cultivate diligently. By staying by his side, you might be able to break through the shackles of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Dad! What exactly are you..."

"Don't ask, it's good for you. Focus on your cultivation, and don't let anyone look down on the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Ning Fengzhi gently patted his daughter's hair one last time before leaving with Bone Douluo.

Sword Douluo, lurking in the shadows, was filled with questions about what agreement Ning Fengzhi and Tianxia Wuzei had reached.

But seeing that his old partner Bone Douluo did not object, he knew that it was definitely not an agreement that would harm Ning Rongrong.

He immediately followed them back, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

After the three had walked away, Tianxia Wuzei turned his sharp gaze to Ning Rongrong: "Listen, even if you have your father's connections, if you don't meet my standards, I'll still kick you out."

Although Ning Rongrong was dissatisfied, she still nodded seriously when she recalled Ning Fengzhi's words.

She took a deep breath and said, "I will prove my worth."

"That would be for the best." Tianxia Wuzei pointed to the crooked wooden house. "You and Zhu Zhuqing will live there. You must break through level 30 within six months, or you're fired."

"What? Level 30!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in shock. "Isn't this just making things difficult for me?!"

At a normal pace, her limit is three levels of soul power per year.

However, since there are no thieves in the world, he doesn't care about such things.

"If you can't leave now, I won't stop you." He turned and walked towards the main house, his voice icy. "My team doesn't keep useless people. Even if you're just a support Soul Master!"

Ning Rongrong trembled with anger and turned to Zhu Zhuqing for approval: "Zhuqing, he's clearly making things difficult for me! I'm only level 26, how could I possibly increase my soul power by four levels in half a year!"

Zhu Zhuqing walked into the wooden house without looking back, leaving only the words: "Strive to cultivate, we don't have much time left."

She knew that once she reached level 30, absorbing the immortal herbs would allow her to close the gap with the four thieves in the world.

Therefore, there will be no complaints.

Ning Rongrong watched Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure and stomped her foot angrily.

But in the end, with tears in her eyes, she followed him inside, looking aggrieved.

Inside another wooden house, Tianxia Wuzei revealed a satisfied smile.

"Pressure is the best catalyst. Sometimes, if I don't push you, you won't even know you're a genius!" The main reason for letting them break through to level 30 in half a year was to prepare for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a year later.

Although the Spirit Hall already has a Spirit Hall team led by the Golden Generation, both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have a first team and a second team.

The Spirit Hall naturally also has its own second team.

However, due to the emergence of "No Thieves Under Heaven", Qian Daoliu renamed the Spirit Hall Second Team to the Offering Hall Team, and led it by himself, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

He thought to himself, "There are no thieves under heaven."

"Although the reward for winning the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is not very tempting to me, it is useful to those traitors and rebels."

"Moreover, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu both agreed that if the Spirit Hall team and the Hall of Worship team meet in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament..."

"Let them compete, let it become the annual life-or-death battle between the Golden Generation and us, the Four Villains."

"This battle depends entirely on strength, and the victor will become the next Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"Although the Sen family has relinquished the papacy, it does not mean they do not want to regain control of it."

"And I became the one who helped the Sen family reclaim the papacy. This was the first mission Sen Daoliu gave me."

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian sighed and murmured, "The task ahead is arduous and the road is long!"

Because he knew very well that all three members of the Golden Generation would reach the Soul King level in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a year later.

Moreover, due to the struggle for the papacy, the Golden Generation may be even more powerful than depicted in the original story.

He had to push Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to grow up quickly, otherwise they would become a burden and cause the team to lose the competition, which would be a huge loss.

"Although I can use the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul to absorb the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to increase my soul power, I don't want to reveal my second Martial Soul too early. I'll just focus on cultivating and wait until I break through to Soul King before considering whether to absorb the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."

His soul power is now on par with the Golden Generation. Even without absorbing the Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower with the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, his soul power will not fall behind.

So there's no rush, focus on developing your teammates first.

Moreover, while relying on soul bones to enhance soul power has no side effects, it is still somewhat superficial overall and needs to be tempered.

No more thieves under the sky. He closed his eyes to rest and began to cultivate in peace.

Lion Douluo reported today's events to Qian Daoliu word for word.

"What is this kid trying to do? Try to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

He shook his head, not taking it seriously, and didn't think that the mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could have any great power.

However, this kind of news is useless to him, but it is very useful to another person.

Qian Daoliu made a strange hand gesture, muttered some incantations, and then raised his hand and pointed, a golden light entering the angel statue.

At the same time, in the Crown Prince's bedroom in Tiandou City, Tiandou Empire.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe suddenly opened his eyes, and the voice of Qian Daoliu appeared in his mind.

After carefully considering it, Xue Qinghe's lips curled into a cold smile.

"That old fox Ning Fengzhi is indeed driven by self-interest. He actually sold out his daughter and the Heaven Dou Empire for the news of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

They didn't seem surprised by this, nor did they have any intention of reporting it.

Because she was originally a member of the Spirit Hall!
Xue Qinghe's true identity is none other than Qian Renxue, the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall!

She couldn't possibly choose to report Ning Fengzhi for harming the interests of the Heaven Dou Empire; she could even use this as leverage to force Ning Fengzhi to help her ascend the throne.

Because of this, Qian Renxue also developed a strong interest in her grandfather's disciple.

Although I had known about the existence of a world without thieves for a long time, I never thought he could do it to this extent.

"Grandpa's apprentice seems quite capable, even managing to handle an old fox like Ning Fengzhi. It seems I'll have to meet him in person sometime."
